Ib the Voters of Anderson County: Daring the past four years the Demo? cratic party has controlled the govern? ment of South Carolina, and is now ask-1 '.Inj? of the voters of this State that it shall be continued in authority here for au otl:ar two years, and also that it shall be gr~on the administration of the National Government for the coming four years. On next' Tuesday these propositions are to be passed upon by the voters of the . Uiiited States, of which you will form a portion of the aggregate, and will assist in determining the decision to bo reached., ini -oferonoe both to State -and National : issues. The reasons why the Democratic party should be continued in charge of| the: State of South Carolina are obvious to jiU true and Intelligent citizens. It has giv.m as a pure, able and dignified judi? ciary, where Republicanism gave us a coiYupt, venal and shameful one, from the Supreme Bench to the Court of Trial Justice. The last election of Jndges by the Republicans elected Moses and Whip pex, while the last election under the Democrats elevated McGowan and Simp ? son. The character of these men fully cox trasts the two parties. The Demo? cratic party has given prosperity to the Sta ;e, and everywhere we find both labor and capital harmoniously employed and contented, while under the best days,of Republicanism there were numerous and serious strikes and contentions, unset? tling the labor of the country and endan? gering Its property and the lives of its. : inhabitants. The legislative, executive, Judicial, penal and charitable and publie ? printing departments.of the government are now run on a tax of three-quarters of - one miU by the Democratic party, while -the same things cost three and one-half mills under the lowest tax levy ever made by the Republicans. The Demo . crafic party has extended the provisions of i,he Constitution relative to the home ;, steed, so as to give to all heads of fami? lies $500 worth of personal property, and allow it to be claimed on crops by ten? ant-, who own no lands, while the pro? visions of the Constitution framed by the Republicans did not authorize any but landowners to claim the homestead ex? emption in crops. Our public schools have been improved, and tho whole of I our publici institutions have been better] aud more economically conducted. With these facts, which cannot be dis? puted, we feel that it is hot asking too mtich when, we call upon every true man i in Anderson County to go out on next Tu 3sday and both vote^nd work for the election of tho entire State ticket nomi? nated by the Democratic party. This, however, is not oar whole, .and perhaps no.', otir highest duty. The Presidential election now pending is of supreme im? portance to the welfare of our people and to tho perpetuity of the free institutions of America. The Republican party is a sectional enemy of the South, and to gratify its vindictivo hate has repeatedly done violence to the Constitution of our forefathers and set at defiance every prin? ciple of human liberty. It has turned loose, without a trial, revenue officers in the hands of State Courts charged with murder, asjn the case of Alexander Mat tison, who killed Davis, in this County. Ho whs actually taken from our Courts and, as if to reward his murderous deed, was given position by the Republican party in the United States Post Office De? partment. The whole purpose and ten? dency of Republicanism has been to sub? vert the Republic and establish an Em- ! pirc, and the shout which went up from a portion of the Republican procession in New York about ten days ago truly voiced the sentiment of the party in say? ing, "Hurrah for Gen. Grant, tho first King of Amorica." Monarchy is the purpose of the party in power, and, if it is successful, wo may look for renewed in faults and oppressions towards the South to fate jliarize the American people with usurpation and prepare tho way for the inauguration of a King. Gen. Gar field, the Republican candidato for President, is an ardent Southern hater, and bis pub? lic speeches are wreaking with bitter and vilo slanders and vituperations of our people. It is a matter of the last conse? quence to us that he should be defeated, and therefore we -urge our people to do vote enough time and work to tho cam? paign to secure the largest possible ma? jority in Anderson County. This has been tho bannor County of the State in politics. To retain oar proud position we mast hold up our vote and keop down the Republican vote. This can only bo dono by good, earnest aud patriotic work. Of course, we expect every Democrat to go to the polls and vote the whole ticket, bot we especially urge that they will put thomsolvcs to tho trouble of working with tbeir touants and acquaintances who have not been acting with the Democratic party. Wo urgo that tbero shall bo no swapping off of the Electoral ticket on any account, and that the wboie aim and effort shall be to secure at least four thousand majority for t?o Democratic party in Anderson County on next Tues? day. At least, let us all work so that when the day is ovor wo can say wo did what we could, and bo able to claim a share in the glorious victory which awaits us. By order of the County Executive Committee. E. B. MURRAY, R. W. SIMPSON, E. J EARLE. A l'L.VIN" HINT. Tho oditor of tho New York Commercial Advertiser seems to know tho ropes by which the vote of New York is to be pulled in for tho Republicans. He says: "We never advise any one to bet on elections, but if our Republican friends will wagor on Now York State for exam? ple, we warn thorn thus early to shape the terms carefully to avoid all technical >r unfair objections to payment by the other sido in case the electoral vote of tow York is returned for Garfield, as it wili bo. There will be three full electo? ral tickets voted for in Now York. To bet ou a minority for tho Garfield elec? tors might not be salb, in the event or n close run, whereas to bet on a plurality or that Garfield beats Hancock in Now York would be sure to win; provided, however, that the certificate of the State Returning Board at Albany is made to decide the wager." If this is not as much as to say that no matter how the people of New "*I'ork voto, the ballots are to be counted for Garfield, then wo do not undorstan ft language. It may, however, turn out that the Re? turning Board at Albany will not have the ability to count out Hancock, for bis majority may be so large, and tbe re? turns so closely watched, that the con? spirators will not dare to steal the votes of th6 people for ono they voto against. The intention will doubtless lie in that direction, but tbe ability to do tho barm may be lacking. Every true patriot in South Carolina will attend the polls and vote tho straight Democratic ticket on next Tuesday. There is no other respectable ticket in tbe State. So great was tho discomfiture of tbe Republicans on the publication of tbo letter published below, written by Gar? field toMorey, that Garfield im mediately denied the authenticity of the letter, pro? nounced it a forgery, and characterized the sentiments contained in it as brutal. Mr. Hewitt and Mr. Randall, who are well acquainted with 'Gavfield's hand? writing, pronounce it, in their opinion, as in the band-writing of Garfield and as genuine, and when it is remembered that the wholo course of Mr. Garheld's politi? cal life on the Chineso labor question has been entirely consistent with the senti? ments expressed in the letter, there can bo no reasonable doubt that ho wrote it. His denial will have little effect on the public mind, as this letter places him where he properly bolongs, an enemy to the working man: [Personal end Confidential.} House op "Representatives, \ Washington, D. 0., January 23, 1880. J Dear Sir: Yours in relation to tbe Chi? nese problem came duly to band. . I take it that tbe question of employees Is only a question of private and corpo? rate economy, and individuals or compa? nies have the right to buy labor where they can get it cheapest. we have a treaty with the Chineso Gov? ernment, which should be religiously kept until its provisions are abrogated by tho action of the General Government, and I am not prepared to say that it should be abrogated until our great manufacturing and corporate interests are conserved in the matter of labor. ' Very truly yours, J. A. Garfield. , H. L. Morey, Employers' Union, Lynn, Mass. Every person who is sick should ar? range to attend the polls on next Tues? day long enough to vote, unless there is danger to his life In going out. Tbe par? ty of good government should have as large a majority as possible. The Presidential election, though close and. doubtful, is by no means hopeless to the Democrats. With the solid South and New York, Delaware and Now Jersey, which are reasonably sure for us, our candidate will lock three votes of having enough to elect him. If either Connec? ticut, Maine, California, Nevada, Oregon, Colorado, Indiana, Illinois or Winconsin go Democratic, we will roceive the ne? cessary number of v>tos- We think the chances are that we will carry more than one of them, and that Gen. Hancock will be elected. In the meantime, let each one of us constitute ourselves a commit? tee to see to it that he gets the voto of South" Carolina to begin with. Do not, under any circumstances, swap off or neglect the electoral ticket Its election is the most important of next Tuesday duties. Go to the polls and do ono good, honest day's work for General Hancock's olection. THE TELL-TALE TELEGRAMS. A Republican Plot to Capture tho Tote of Florida. Chairmun Wm. H. Barnum, of the Democratic National Committee, issued Thursday evening the following address: ?'3d the Public: When this campaign opened the National Democratic Commit? tee contracted with the American Union and the Western Union Telegraph Com? panies for special rates for their business, and arranged with said companies, that telegrams sent or received by the com? mittee should be returned at tho end of each week to tho cashier of the committee as vouchers for the bills rendered. Tele? grams so sent or received by our com? mittee have been returned under this arrangement weekly and paid for accord? ing to the contract. On Wednesday morning, October 20, tho Western Union Telegraph Company returned to the committee vouchers as usual for tbe sec? ond week in October. Upon their being examined by our cashier to verify the amount the following telegrams were found in the package so sent us as vouch? ers, evidently being a mistake on the part of the official having the same in charge at the office of the Western Union Tele? graph Company. Tho telegrams aro as follows: ' " 'Rush ! " 'Oct. 12,1880?Hon. Charles J. Noyes, care H. Jenkins, Jr., Jacksonville, Fla.: I telegraphed yesterday. I will provide as requestod. Two hundred each for Calender and yourself as compensation. " '17 pd. Marshall Jewel.' " 'Rush. " 'Oct. 12,1880. To F. W. Wicker, Col? lector, Key West, Fla.. City of Dallas took 150, City of Texas 1C0, Colorado 100 for Key West. Men on deck instructed to say nothing about it. M *26 pd. Marshall Jewel.' "The numerals '150,' '100' and '100' in this last telegram means so many men. "These telegrams, or rather tho one ad? dressed to F. W. Wicker, United States Collector at the port of Koy West, Fla., tell thoir own story. Tbo sun had not gone down in the State of Indiana, where ono of the greatest frauds ever perpe? trated on a froo government and a free ballot wore about to bo consummated, when the Chairman of the .National Re? publican Committee and an official of tho United States Government were prepar? ing to repeat in the Stalo of Florida the infamy then about to be consummated in the State of Indiana. Tho connnitteo were advised previous to tho receipt of these telegrams that tho Stato of Floi ida was about to bo overrun by tho repeaters of our largo cities. Tho telegrams of Mr. Jewell only confirm what tho committee well know to bo tho fact. "The above telegrams aro in tho pos? session of tho committee; they are writ? ten in copying ink, have been copied in a letter-press book, and bear the telegraph receiver's checks vand marks, and this committeo defies any ono to assort that they are not genuine. Tho telegrams aro now being lithographed, and will bo givon to the public in a day cr two. "Wm. H. Baknum, "Chairman Nat. Dorn. Com. "Now York, October 21, 1880." As soon as it was understood at Repub? lican headquarters that the Democrats wero in possession of these telegrams, they made a lame attempt to explain them by alleging that tho men wero real? ly sont to head off Democratic ropeaters, but the telegrams speak for themselves. A correspondence then took placo bo tween Dr. Norvcn Green, Presidont of tho Western Union Telegraph Company, and Mr. Barnum, Chairman of the Dem? ocratic National Committee. Dr. Green requested tho immediate return of tho telegrams, us thoy wore private, and had been forwarded to tho Domocratio Na? tional Committee by mistake, and pro? tested against their publication or any copy of them boing retained by tho Com? mittee. Mr. Barnum, in reply, acknowl? edges tho right of tho Company to tho originals and returned them, but denied that thoy wore personal and private, and assorted that they wero intended to affect and to rolato to a matter in which every citizen, high and low. has a common in? terest?a pure and free ballot. Ho ac? cordingly gave them to the press and re? tained lithographed copies. The Repub? licans stole the State of Florida in 187G, and these telegram disclose tho fact that they aro attempting to do the same thing in 18S0. TBE DUTY OF THE HOUR. A STIRRING ADDRESS FROM THE STATE DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE. The PhiiiB of tho Enemy Exposed?A Greenback-Radical Alliance?How to Win the Fight on tho 2nd of November? An Appeal to Misguided Independent!). Columbia, October 23. Tho following address was issued to-day from the headquarters of tho Stato Demo? cratic Executive Committee: To the Democratic Voters of the Stale: The few days which intervene between this and tho 2d of November may be deci? sive of the election, National, State, and local; and in view of the importance of the issues involved and tho absolute need of succes s, tho State Executive Commit? tee appeals to the Democratic Clubs and voters throughout the State for united and vigorous action. The failure of the Republican party to openly nominate a State ticket has lulled our people into a sonso of security, and has inspired tho belief that there is no real contist, no need of work, and that success will come as it camo in 187S. Nothing could be more delusive or de? structive. Apathy now is fatal, and su pinencsv will only pave the way to de? feat. There is a contest boforo us not only for tho Electoral* but for the State ticket. Wo feel authorized, from the information we have, fco say to you that the Republi? can party will present an unbroken front on election day in support of the Green? back ticket, and coalescing with that small faction of the people, will strive under thdir bauners to win a Republican victory. The instructions have been al? ready giv m, the orders issued, the combi? nation of forces arranged, and tbe bargain Btruck, vhich unites the Greenback party with the.'tepublican for tho defeat through? out the S ate of the Democratic Electoral, State and local ticket. The remembrance of that dark period from 1868 to 1876 is too vivid for you to tolerate nhe thought of again passing under Republican rule. We have realized the blessings of Democratic Government, The reforms which have como aro not imaginary, nor aro they mero party cries for political effect. They are real and substantial, visible to the whole vr 'Id, felt and recognized in busi? ness circias everywhere, and admitted by even the most bitter and hostile of Re? publican journals. Peace throughout the Stato ; the absence of all race collis? ions ; the equal and just administration of the laws; security to life and property; the reduction of taxation . and expenses, and a marked and general increase in material prosperity, are the fruits of Democratic rule, and the results of the overthrow of Republican domination. To us the success of the Republican and the overthrow of the Democratic govern? ment means far more than an ordinary change of political rulers. It means the destruction of every ^material interest, the paralysis of all industries. It means the return to power of ignorance and corrup? tion, a new era of extravagance and wasteful and shameless expenditure, an increase of State debt and taxation. It means a venal Legislature, a corrupt Judiciary and nu Executive powerless to enforce tho laws. It means a daily recur? ring strife of races and a constant sense of insecurity and danger. Under that yoke we cannot und will not again pass. The bitter lessons of the past will be lost unless they teach us that it is only in tho unity and energy of the Democratic party that the hope of safety lies. By these means we won in the groat struggle of 1876. By these, and these alono, can we win now. Tho inlonse enthusiasm of that cau-'.paign called out every voter. The full strength of tbe Democratic party is noedod now. On that, and that alone, can we rely. No party machinery nor political management, no secret counsels nor subtle contrivances, can avail. To rely on heso is to trust to a broken reed. Thb rabo is to the swift and tbe battle to the strong; and victory, on the 2d No? vember will range itself on the side of the heaviest battalions. It is for you and us to see to it that the heaviest battalions march under the Democratic flag. The one paramount duty of those who hope to preserve the civilization thoy have inherited, and the prosperity they enjoy, is to be active and earnest; for every man to work as if success or defeat rested on his individual effort, and not to rest:. rom bis labors until the last man has been brought out and tho last ballot pollod. Upon those who havo beon clothed with power as executivo officers in tho counties, or chosen by tho people as their standard bearers in the contest, will rest a heavy responsibility. To them their fellows itizens look for guidance and ex? ample. With them is tho real and active management of tho campaign. The State committee can only exercise a general supervi sion and direction. The struggle in each county must be under the loader ship of the local Executive Committee, and sue joss in the counties means victory in the State. The lines are drawn and tho issue joined. Those who aro not with us are againsi us. There is now neither room nor piece for Independents or third par? ties of any kind. No matter under what flog thoy sorve or what battle-cry they uttor, their vote is against us if it is not with u*. Consciously or unconsciously, they r i o working for our defeat. Thexo may be among good men candi? dates and the friends of candidates, a keen sense of personal wrong and political in? justice. Just claims may havo been ig? nored, and faithful services forgotten. These aro incidents inseparable from po? litical lifo and contests; but tbe remedy is not. in lukowarmnoss; not in resis? tance to the popular will; not, above all, in allianco with enemies to defeat friends. Tho State may be safely ti ustcd sooner or later to do justice to all her sons, but it is equally suro aud cer? tain tbat the just and weighty judgment of the Stato will fall upon those who in tho hour of peril, forgetting their duty, i o mcmbor only their personal wrongs, or prefer their personal ambition to tho public good. If thero be any such, wo apnoa) to them in the most earnest and frion?ly spirit, as thoy value their own name, their hopes of usefulness in tho future, the respect of their foUow-citizens. or the peace aud prosperity of tho State, to rise abovo all thoughts of self and unite heartily and zealously with their Democratic friends and comrades in a common oQbrt to save us*from tho dan? ger and degradation of Republican rule.
