* 8 info rr Democrats of 8 uli Carolina : I I t

the temporary organisation of this distin- ,

It in the proud privilege of the Democracy |

by a common mid patriotic purpose, lo 'king
back upon the days of * 7'i ivbon the I tornocracy
of South Carolina, standing s d d,
united, brother to brottier, baud in bund,
achieved tlio redemption of our State, from
ndsrulo and onrrtipti ?n.
How was that acc >lt)plislic 1 ? It was by
union, because in union thoro is Mtrength.
Since tliat time dissensions unhappily linvc
marred tlio unity of the Democracy of Soit'h
(Carolina. A chasm has intervened between

acting calmly mid deliticrutcly, to
form n bridge over that cliasm [applause]

mill Statesmen, lliul have responded
to every demand upon patriotism, courage
and energy. A new emergenry is now here
and roust be met. We must adopt new
methods and rely 011 new sources of wealth
and bases of commerce. We must accept
the plain lessons of present fuels. Wo are a
borrowing people, and our interests demand
that capital be invited here fir investment,
that competition in lending may be developed
and money chcapene I. Our one hope for
becoming an independent people with stir- |
pins money is to encourage the coining of 1
sew population and investments in iud tstr en ,
whicn will develops our natural resources ,
and give homo markets for the productions of *
our farui9. We must do this or sea our \
young men and out farmers confronted wi It |,
the hard choice between leaving their native f
State forever or remaining here in hopeless (,
poverty. c
To ucdrrtakc this great an I necessity |
work with any hope of success our pe >pie a
must be united in feeling and purpose: our
party must be solidified so there wilt he 110
passible fear of its failure t<> control our
affairs: we must have a s;lfo and conserva ti

methods of government. We iiibmi: ttmt |,\
the course-of the head of our present State ? |
Administration, both before and since his ,,,,
election, has been in many respects unwise t-o
and unjust. We believe the tendency of his no
methods and policy is ti destroy the credit s,,
of the State, to the injury of the people, by
making it impossible to refund our S ate g;v
debt at a reasonable rate of interest, such entasis

They expected blundering*, bluffing.and (
bravado, and were resdy to boll oat earn- i
psigu capital by tlie column. On the eon trary,
nothing was dona ar pmpoeed that 1

made him one of tho readiest and most

we ever knew, lie will be a hind mm to

many others in saying he is properly placed
at the heai of tho ticket.
With Tillman and Hheppard in the field,
we predict the coming campaign will truly

The consiituti n of tho State Democratic

a A Plea for a Rational Campaign
y Mr.ADoit, March 20.?Mr. liduor-?I wisl
a small space in your colutns to make a lev
rotnaik* in regard to the approaching cam
c paign. It seems to me that tlicre is going
t to be more excite nent over the approucoinp
. election ihati any year since 187b.
Our people appear to have gotten late
inch a distrustful spirit that one thinks the
ottie." wishes and- intends to do him or the
Slate some injusii.se. It seems that we have
lost confidence in each other, and unless wo
got rid of 1 lint d iberal and undemocratic
spirit we <\i!l forever be in the wilderndss of
excitement and dissensions.
We arc one people, sharing the advantages
mid disadvantages of one common country,
and we should have each o* tier's interest at
hcurt. If a few of us have male success,
wo -liou'd not feel hat our mission on earth
is tin.shed. We should respect our followman's
feelings a'nl intores's as well as our
ovvii. In the present strife and push for
po iticii' fitnc it seems that we have no re- I
gird for our f<llowniaii or ourselves, if we
cm only get in'.o some position wiiere our
names will go abroad as some "big man.'
! Knelt man must be responsible tor his
own conduct. Kvery man litis his place, to
till in life. He Ins his place politically as
well us otherwise, and should he his own
iiuin and do his own thinking, and he should
base tliat thinking on r^asou. There is a!
ways some one to pour seductivo music in
your ears, from each side, to excite your
curiosity and confuse your mind. Wo to??
some who are wide enough awake lu dance
lo the music, and seme who arc so sleepy
:liHt tlicy would dance on if (he music should
stop, i hey ctmuL get wide awake and 1
change with the changes.
We all should have enough patriotism to 1
lo as our concienccs dictate, and have reason
Miough to acknowledge when wo find wo arc !
vroiig and our fiiend is right. No true 1
(entl'Mnin would he prejudiced against lus
riend lor dilFe^inip from hii. in hi- (pinion. *
.et -'honor be given lo whoii) honor is duo."
.el no mail be prejudiced against another ?
ccans.' he has rcuched tv higher round on
lie ladder of prosperity or fame. If tlieic w
re now any occupying odiets that we M
link, from their conduct, should be succeedd
by others nioro eunpeteut. we hure the
ight and it is our duty to Vide for their f(
icccssors. The form of electing si.oil! ! be |{
ting direct for the ofllcer and not to dole |n
ite some one else to do our voliag. So,
we can't do that with the present constuu- re
