THE RATIFICATION MEETING. ,
Notwithstanding the lowering sky and
threatening clouds last Monday rooming, the
Red Shirt Democracy of York county com- i
roenced pouring into town, and at an early
hour in the day the streets were literally
thronged with patriotic and enthusiastic citizens,
who had resolved to devote a day to
their country, being attracted by the ratification
meeting to be held at the close of the
nominating convention.
The programme for the day had been arranged
to have a grand procession of mounted
Red Shirts, after the award of the banner
presented by the ladies of Yorkville to the
Club having the largest number of mounted
men ; a grand procession through the principal
streets after the presentation of the banner;
speaking at the stand erected on the
Avery lot, near the Female Institute; and
after night to continue the public speaking at
the stand, and to ratify the action of the
nominating Convention. The rain, however,
which commenced falling at 11 o'clock, and
fell almost unceasingly throughout the day
and evening, interfered somewhat with the
arrangements previously decided upon, and
they could only be partially carried out.
At about 1 o'clock P. M., the various
mounted clubs assembled in the field near
King's Mountain Military School, for the
purpose of forming in line for inspection by
Col. Coward, Chief Marshal, and his assistants.
According to the reports of the Captains
of the Clubs, they numbered as follows
respectively :
Rock Hill 296
Fort Mill, 118
Bethel, 72
Clay Hill 75 c
Hickory Grove, 217
McConnellsville, 190
King's Mountain, 225
Blairsville and Bullock's Creek, 295
Yorkville, 280
1,768
It would seem, however, that all the members
did not promptly meet at the place of rtndezvous,
the enumeration by the Chief Marshal
revealing the following numbers :
Rock Hill, 275
Fort Mill, 128
Bethel, 70
Clay Hill 81
Hickory Grove, 246
McConnellsville, 124
- * * iWl
King's Mountain, ^
Blairsville and Bullock's Creek, 274
Yorkville, 270
i V . t:. n . LV )i >j < fty*?
Rock Hill showing the largest number, was
declared entitled to the banner, and after the
column marched from the place of rendezvous
to the speakers' stand, Col. Coward, who had
been selected by the ladies for the purpose,
presented the banner to the successful Club,
in a neat and appropriate address.
And here a description of the banner may
not he out of place. It was originally de
?signed by a gentleman of acknowledged taste,
and the design was submitted to a New York
maker, whose price for making one according
to the design was one hundred and fifty dol1
?rs, though he could not promise it before
October. As that time would be too late to
answer the purpose, one of less elaboration
was ordered, which was received only last
Thursday evening, and found to be entirely
below the style desired, when it was determined,
if possible, to substitute for it a better
one', or exhaust all the resources of native
skill. Accordingly, the original design was
hunted up, and submitted to Mrs. Fannie L. i
D.ibson, who finally decided to undertake the
task, and right worthily did she accomplish it.
The banner is 41 by 48 inches, made of silk
materials, one side blue and the other red,
trimmed with bullion lace and white silk
fringe. On the blue ground is a medallion
containing a Palmetto tree with the date,
k 1876, under which is the motto "Resurgo,"
and surrounding the medallion is the inscrip
lion, "Law, Economy and Equal Rights."
On the reverse side is a shield, bearing the
date, 1878, and surrounded with the legend,
"Vicilauce is the price of liberty." The ban
ner is neatly mounted, and is really a credit- I
able piece of work. When shown to the designer,
who did not see it until it was nearly
completed, he was delighted with the success
>f the lady artists whose skill had wrought so
neat a banner, and he remarked that it was
"certainly a fine imitation of a hundred and
fifty dollar banner." And so it i?. The successful
Club may justly prize it highly; but
they must remember that it is in their keeping
only until the next campaign, when it
may be contended for again, and some other
Club proudly bear it away.
The rain which was falling at the close of
the presentation speech, induced the committee
of arrangements to forego the contemplated
procession through the streets of the
town, and as the afternoon was advancing, it
was decided that the speaking should hegin.
Gen. Leach and Col. Evins, who had arrived
on the morning train, were escorted to
the stand, their preseuce seeming to inspire
the vast crowd, if possible, with renewed enthusiasm.
Cheer after cheer rent the air, and
the distinguished North Carolina speaker and
orator, no less than the honored Evins, was
greeted with the heartiest demonstrations of
applause.
Gen. Leach was introduced in a handsome
and very complimentary manner by Col. W.
B. Wilson, and after the rounds of applause
as he approached the front of the stand, he
commenced by complimenting the ladies for
the taste displayed in the beautiful flag and
its devices which they bad presented to the
largest Club of mounted men, and also for
the splendid decorations of the speakers'
stand ; and after paying a compliment to the
several bands of music present, and expressing
his pleasure at raeetiug so vast a crowd?
happily including both races?as an auspicious
circumstance and a good omen, he said
the people of South Carolina were again in
the midst of a political campaign, which, if
less exciting and uncertain in its issues than
that of 1876?which by the kind partiality
of many friends he had had the pleasure of
participating in to some extent?was nevertheless
of as vital importance to the State
and to the friends of constitutional governmen^-everywhere,
as the last memorable campaign
; and its results in the continued interests
of" peace and prosperity would be as
great. Indeed, he did not hesitate to express j
the opinion that the fruits of the campaign of
the Centennial year, 1876, in South Carolina,
were of as great and momentous consequence
to her people, in the vindication of human
rights and public liberty, as the grand results
of the proclamation made to the world
in 1776, in the maintenance of which, her
patriots, and those of twelve other colonies,
pledged "their lives, their fortunes and their
sacred honor."
The speaker said this, because the historic
pages of civilization would be searched in
vain to find a parallel to the grinding, merciless,
humiliating oppression of a free, proud
people, for eight long, sad years, and the
sublime endurauce and moral fortitude with
which it was patiently submitted to, and by
which the people were driven to poverty, ruin
aud despair.
He went on to say that the disturbances
and violence, in some parts of the State?now
happily subsided by the wisdom and firmness
of the present administration of her
affairs?were the legitimate fruits of this rapacious,
relentless, wicked oppression by
characterless and dishonest public officials;
and that thoughtful, honest men throughout1
the whole country, are coming to see this and 1
acknowledge its truth, and that farther proof j
of this was seen in the reign of peace, order j
and law throughout the State since the in-1
auguratiou of Governor Hampton.
Gen. Leach then went on to discuss parties
and the necessity of good government. He
said parties were of value and interest to the
people only as exponents of principles and enlightened
popular will, and as the representatives
of measures and laws promotive of peace,
happiness and prosperity ; that it must never
be forgotten, in this country, that government
was established by the people, and all its legitimate
functions were delegated powers derived
from' the people, and that this trust
must be exercised for the benefit of the governed
; that the legislation of the country,
both State and National, should have a care
of all its people and should study the true
interests of all, and like the sun, should shed
its benign and protecting influence upon all
alike, and not on a favored class or section.
And in this connection, he alluded briefly to
the financial system of the country, aud the
unjust, discriminating acts of Congress, in the
interest of bond-holders?untaxed bond-holders?and
corporations, and against the great
mass of the people and the various industries
I of the countryy-and the absolute necessity for
reform and change in these matters, so vitally
important to the prosperity of the country ;
that the great niimbfer of failures?the painful
pressure of the hard times?and the vast
number of operatives and laborers out of employment,
was awakening the whole country
to a consideration of the causes, and arousing
public sentiment everywhere to demand reforms
aud repealing and modifying legislation,
and this potential voice of the people must be
heeded and respected, and it tcould be.
By way of further illustration of bad government
and its ruinous effects, Gen. Leach
next took up the one subject of Republican
rule, for eight years, in South Carolina. He
spoke of its nature and character and mercenary
objects; its cruel oppression ; its wicked
legislation ; its dishonesty, recklessness and
corruption ; its unjust exactions in levying
exorbitant taxes without any corresponding
benefit to the taxed; but on the other hand
stealing and appropriating the moneys thus
raised ; its corrupt and corrupting executives,
legislatures and judiciary, in some instances
to the scandal aud disgrace of the country ;
its shameless rapacity aud ruthless despotism.
He said they were aliens, ignoring home-rule,
outraging all the sacred rights of the people,
despising alike the principles of justice and
the securities of law, intent only on such dis
honest practices and mischievous legislation
and administration of affairs as would enure
to their own interests and fill their own pockets
in derogation of every principle of right
and justice.
These things, continued the speaker, are
true and the picture is not overdrawn. He
asked, what honest man is willing to see such
men again reinstated in power with control of
the State Government ? If there was one, he
would instinctively turn from him in sorrow
" ") anmiink nf hpnrt fn nvnid t.hfi POntfcmnla
""" " -"-' I ? - ? 1
tiou of so revolting an object of pity and coutempt.
But, be thanked heaven, that though the
people of South Carolina were thus trodden
down by merciless rulers (not of their own
choosing) they were not to be subdued or
subjugated. They remembered that a heroic
ancestry helped purchase those great
and inestimable blessings for them and their
posterity. They were destined to submit
but a little longer to their deep huroiliatiou>i\d
exquisite torture of soul, because
they knew that human opinions and seutiment
could not be controlled by force. They
had read that all the persecutions of the dark
ages only strengthened Christianity; that
God had made our intellectual being; these
thoughts that, cannot be fettered, but that
soar aloft add..-'wander through time and eternity?immaterial,
chainless, immortal!
And so it came to pass, continued the
speaker, in the midst of this galling oppres
sion and worse than Egyptian bondage, when
the clouds of their misfortunes seemed darkest
and the future of the devoted State hopeless,
there suddenly appeared a rift in the clouds
and the sunlight of hope shone upon them, and
as by the mighty influence of some unseen
power, all eyes were turned to the coming
man?to a leader?and be was found in the
person of the modest Christian, but brave and
peerless, Hampton, and the shouts went up
from one end of the State to the other, with a
unity of sentiment and Arm purpose of soul
never before witnessed, for Hampton and lib
eration, and they fought the great battle
peacefully but heroically ; for "peace hath its
victories no less renowned than war," and
they won the victory. And here the people
were met to day to exchange congratulations
for the redemption of their State from political
thraldom and Republican misrule.
. The rG^neral th'en drew' fn glowing language
the future of the proud Palmetto State,
after which he made a short and kind appeal
to the colored people, urging upon them the
^ nn/1 lltn nP moin.
UeCtTBSlLJf UI lUUUObl v OUU uu^antj, vi uiuiu
taining friendly relations with the white people?who
would always be the dominant race
of the country?and he urged upon them to
educate their children, as far as they were
able, aided by the white people; to acquire,
if possible, homes of their own, even if small
and humble, so as to be the better able to
take eare of themselves and their political
and all other interests that looked to elevating
them and qualifying them to make good
citizens.
There were a great many ladies present,
and the speaker said they were entitled not
ouly to his thanks for the compliment of their
presence, in codling on so unfavorable a day,
but he must address a few remarks to them.
And after telling an anecdote that happily
applied to the illustration of his situation and
produced much laughter, he said there was
no country where the rights of the sex were
so well protected and guarded, where their social
position was higher, where a proper appreciation
of them was greater, or where their
influence was more felt, or where admiration
for them often borders on idolatry, than in
our own country. And this is due as much
to our institutions of civil and religious liberty
as to the innate gallautry of honorable
meu. Beauty and grace of person and manners,
are woman's heirloom, and woman's
only. The influence of a lovely, true woman
is exalting, eunobling in its effects, aud makes
a man of honor and soul gentler, wiser, truer,
better, greater!
Such is the merest outline of Gen. Leach's
address, which abounded in anecdote aud humor,
and constantly elicited applause or
laughter from his hearers, who, for a portion
of the time, stood in a pelting rain, and urg
ed him to "goon! go on 1" When General

account of the iuclemeucy of the weather, and
the lateness of the evening, the meeting would {
then adjourn to meet in the Court House at j
7 o'clock.
Long before the hour of 7 had arrived, the
court-room was packed to its utmost capacity
with an eager and enthusiastic assemblage, j
many of whom lived a distance from town, |
but had determined to remain and hear the j
words of cheer and assurance to be uttered by i
the speakers announced for the evening.
Mr. \Vither3p00n, the county chairman, was
prompt and efficient in providing for the comfort
and convenience of the crowd, and after
congratulating them upon the auspicious
opening of the campaign, introduced Gen.
Kennedy, Chairman of the State Executive
Committee. Geu. Kennedy spoke for near
an hour, comparing the duties of the present1
campaign with those of the campaign of 1876. j
He urged upon his hearers the necessity aud
importance of working now to secure and |
make good what had already been won. He
spoke of the platform of that campaign, on
which platform the party again stands, re- j
minding the people that every pledge and
every promise then made is equally binding
upon the party to day. Our promises then
made to the colored people are equally oblig
atory upon the party now, and he assured his
colored hearers, that in Governor Hampton
they would ever find a true friend, and one
who would never break a promise to them.
Gen. Kennedy was followed by Hon. J. H.
Evins, who gracefully acknowledged the compliment
that had been paid him by the hearty
endorsement of York county in his renomination;
congratulated the people of the county
on the peace and prosperity within ber
borders under Democratic rule, and as he expected
to meet our people again, soon, he
would give way to other speakers who were
to follow.
Secretary of State Sims was next introduced.
He was happy at meeting the people
of York county?the people of his home?to
whom he was indebted for marks of esteem
and honor, which he gracefully acknowledged.
He congratulated the people on the
results of the Convention ; hoped the party
would labor for the success of the ticket, and
counseled unity of action. He, too, would
not detain his hearers long, as Gen. Leach
was present, whom they did not have the opportunity
often to hear, and he would give
way to that distinguished representative of
our sister State.
The introduction of Gen. Leach was the
signal for loud and continuous cheering, a
compliment for which he felt justly proud,
and after it ceased, he proceeded, in his inimitable
manner, mixing fact and fun to the entertainment
of his hearers for more than an
hour.
After Gen. Leach closed, three hearty
cheers were given for the speakers of the evening;
three cheers were given for the nominations
of the Convention, and the meeting adjourned.
Our report would be incomplete without
reference to the fine and inspiriting music
furnished throughout the day aud night. The
Rock Hill Silver Cornet Band, the Yorkville
Silver Helicon Band, and the Colored Cornet
Band from Rock Hill, all furnished music,
and contributed in no small degree to the
enthusiasm so manifest in every face.

LETTER FROM ROCK HILL.
Rock Hill, September 23.
The past week has been quite a lively one,
upwards of five hundred bales of new cotton
having changed hands. The merchants have
all returned from market, new goods are
coming in rapidly, ana nusines9 seems 10
have commenced in good earnest. The new
business houses in process of building will
soon be ready for occupancy.
During the recent freshet, the waters of the
Catawba overflowed all of the lowlands, and
almost completely destroyed much of the
corn growing upon its banks. Great damage
was done iu many other ways by the unusually
heavy overflow. Many of the farmers express
the opinion that by the middle of October,
the cotton in this section will nearly
all have been picked out.
Last Saturday was tbe day appointed for
the election of delegates to the County Nominating
Convention. The town was full of
people, and at 3 o'clock the polls were opened.
Two sets of candidates seemed to be in the
field?or rather two sets were being run?one
set in favor of the nomination of a new ticket
for the legislature, and the other in favor
of the renomination of the old ticket. Excitement
ran high, and unrestrained enthusiasm
characterized the efforts and actions of
all; yet we are pleased to be able to say that
no unkind feelings were manifested.
On the first ballot, M. H. Williams, J. C.
Hoke and Peter Garrison were elected; on
the second ballot, F. H. Barber and J. F.
Workman. On the third ballot the contest
was between W. B. Wilson, jr., and F. H.
Brown. The result was a tie. On the fourth
ballot, Brown was elected by a vote of 69 to
54. The balloting was not concluded until
bout 9, p. m.
During the past week the Methodist Church
at this place has had a gracious revival, resulting
in the accession of many worthy members,
such as will doubtless be bright lights
in the Christian world. Our pastor has been
assisted by Revs. Stokes and Rogers, whose
sermons were well calculated to awaken both j
philosophical thought and religious feeling
in the hearts and minds of their hearers. In
the future, may success ever crown the efforts

PHYSICIANS READ THIS.
A N eminent physician says, of all the improved
forms for the administration of medicine,
the Fluid Extract has received the most sanction,
and arrived at the greatest perfection: the advantages
of which, both for elegance and obtaining
the active principle of the Drug, over the tincture,
3yrup, powder or pills of former times, are too
apparent for argument. A full line of Fluid Extracts
always on hand at the York Drug Store.

the same author says it has no equal. The
Fluid Extract of the Drug is for sale at the York
