C., October 6, 1884. FELLOW-CITIZENS : Tbo Republicans of Sonth Carolina enter tbe campaign of 1884 with uobioken ranks. They renew their allegiance to the National Republi can party, and pledge support as enthu siastic and unswerving as waa given when its success depended upon them. In spite of tbe malignant spirit and criminal conduct of their adversaries io this State they stand together united and determined to do their utmost to defeat at homo tho organization which, having stolen power in 187G, bas by misrule, injustice and oppression failed to Btiflo the convictions or silence the protest of those people who, through compulsion, yielded to a minority of moro than 80,000. We know that the mean? by which they have retained power io this State aro not less fraudulent and un-republican than were the methods by winch they obtained it revolutionary and criminal. We have waited with fortitude for our deliverance from this political bondage, and endeavored through tbe peaceful agency of the ballot alone to free the Slate from this usurpation ; uot because there was not abundant cause for revolt, but bccauBO, under the conditions as they exist in the South, and such effort aa was necessary to obtain our rights and right our wrongs would result in conflicts and consequence" ;o disastrous and unequal that wo could not do otherwise. - Those who reproach tts for our submis sion little understand our circumstances, and feebly realize the situation of affaira in the old Blavo States. We likewise cannot comprehend how the loyal people of this country can be apparently so in different to the real coudition of their fellow-men at the South, or will suffer the law-abiding citizens of a great section to be tyrannized and dominated by those who so recently were tho known enemies of the country. If all the misdeeds charged against Republican governments at the South were true it could not begin to equal the crimes committed to overthrow them, or the fraudulent piactices by which power is retained, or the injustice and vicious acts which have characterized the Bour bon administrations. The adroit Southern leaders, by work ing up the race prejudice which unfortu nately prevails dormantly at the North, and stimulating the mercantile spirit, have closed the eyes of the country to the sub version of thoso rights which are vital and fundamental, and without the enjoy ment of which rightful governmeut does not exist. Startling as it may seem, we declare that there is no political offence commit ted for the benefit of the Democratic party in this State, ranging from assassi nation to the pollution of the ballot box, where the authors and instigators are not safe from punishment and which the ruling public sentiment does not sanc tion. A truthful recital of the outrages and wrongs inflicted on Republicans could no moro be credited than could those unfa miliar with the South comprehend tbe extremes to which the Bourbons would go to maintain their power. We challenge history to show an ex ample of greater fidelity and more thorough devotion, under equal dangers, sufferings and sacrifices, than that exhib ited by the loyal and unflagging support cf the emancipated and enfranchised citizens of the South to the party which gave them freedom and the ballot, and whose plain duty it is to protect them in their guaranteed rights. We hail with satisfaction the bright prospect of Republican success in those Eortions of tbe country where the ballot i free, the count is honest and intimida tion does not prevail ; and feel thankful to God that the malign of tbe solid South is not to be extended ; we believe that in our illustrious standard bearers, the two leaders beat able to break sectional oppo sition, have been chosen to oonduct us to assured victory, and are firm in the hope that they will prove, with equal zeal and power, the champions of Republican citizeus at the South as woll as of Amer ican citizens abroad. While we heartily endorse the princi ples enunciated in our national platform, and are particularly glad ?bat the tirent subject Cf protrdlo"! to A-serle:..! indus tries, especially in the interest of the laborer, has been so wisely and bravely championed, we hold that the most vital question to bo determined at the ap proaching election is the establir'iment and maintenance of the political rights of the people;-and we call upon Con Sress to enact such laws as we are con dent President Blaine will recommend to overcome this travesty cn free popular government at the South. If there be not the constitutional power to legislate so as to give all citizens eqnal rights in State elections, then we demand that in Federal elections the registration, as well as the management of the election, shall be under the supervision of the General Government. We denounce tho registration and election laws of this State as a horrible conspiracy against, tho rights of the people. The registration of .the voters of this State as practiced is a sham and would be a delusion but for the fearful reality of its injustice and deprivations. Not only is every Supervisor of Regis tration an active Democrat, but the po* sition is looked td as ? reward for parti san services.? Under the provisions of the law every qualified voter who failed to register prior to the election of 1882 is disfranchised forever, without the Super visor in his discretion deems it advisable to allow a subsequent registration, so that in effect the disability attaches only to Republicans. We charge that while Republicans aro required to personally take the registration oath, that it is not only a common practice for Democrats to register by proxy, but that Jn many instances local politicians have received the certificates of those Democrats in their vicinity who failed to obtain them through indifference or otherwise, and they remain unissued without the person votes the regulation ticket. . . We further charge that every possible obstacle is put io the way of Republicans getting now certificates in case of loss or chango of r?agence, while every facility is extended to Dem?crata s imilarly cir* enmstanoev. Instances have occurred in which 'the registration officers have nnblttshingly stated tiuA they j?egAided the law as iuiended to ope?te against Republicans, and that they should dis* charge their duties'so as to effect that *nThe registration books cannot bc ex amined, and a list of the names cannot bc taken nor will they be furnished, while a suggestion that the names be published would be regarded es puerile and ?tenions. But even this registra tion confers no important right, as the voter can only catt hts ballot upon pre eenUtioa of his certificate of registration. law baa been BO manipulated that 80,000 Republicans aro disfranchised. j Tho twin brother to tho registration I iniquity is the eight ballot box fraud. The Commissioners and Managers of Election are Democrats, selected for their willingness and ability to serve their party successfully. Under the law no ono is allowed to read or explain to the voter either of his eight tickets. The Republican voter bas to enter the polling El ace alone ; be sees bebiud the boxes OBtile managers eager to entrap bim into a mistake. They rejoice in his bewilderment and credulity and often disgrace themselves in joining in the levity of the Democratic bystanders, who poko fun at and soek to embarrass the ignorant and timid but honest aud < ?.<?'? e-tly sincere voter. At some pisces he finds tho boxes on a revolving table, to prevent his acting on information about their respectivo locations : at others their positions aro frequently changed, and innumerable other devices equally detos* table resorted to to distract and cheat tho voter out of his purpose to cast an lion el ballot. With tue Democratic voter, however, everything is made easy and pleasant, especially if they aro illiterate. They find tho desired ticket on ton of the appropriate box, and but little heed is given to the presentation of their cer tificates. Innumerable instances aro known in which the Republican voter has been asked ..for his certificate for inspection, audits being returned with directions to vote it, which through embarrassment is often done, thus losing his ballot and disfranchising himself. These Democratic Mauagors and by standers engage in a festival of fuu as they toll on ?nd m:s!ssd illiterate Repub licans and witness their mistakes. Tho polling places aro located in ob jectionable and inconvenient places sometimes at the top of a pair of narrow stairs, sometimes in a cellar, and, invari ably, wbero scrutiny is impossible. After the ciosing of tho polls no Republican is allowed to witness tho count, and under tho laws of this State, which permit tho excess ballots to be drawn out whore the votes exceed the voters, a very carnival of rrimo is perpetrated. And yet those managers engaged in this pastime of frivolity and Iniquity aro Bworn officers, who prostitute their sacred offices and thus trifle with and nulify the most im portant rights ef citizenship. To such an extent hs; this prostitution of sacred functions been . .Tried on. and so notori ous have been .he frauds and perjury practiced, that the public conscience bas been debauchee, and the morals and minds of the p <;>1e disbased and famil iarised with crime. Holding that laws which utterly dis franchise every Republican who was qualified and failed to register in 1882, and mako the presentation of the certifi cate of registration a prorequsito to vot ing, are not constitutional laws, we call upon the Government to test the ques tion in the Courts. This is a matter of vital moment lo us, and we demand that instead of the time of the Court being consumed with the trial of irritating cases not involving the fraudulent acts of Managers of Election or tending to establish the conspiracy of those high in s'tthority sgainst the elec tive franchise, ?atan honest, determined effort be made to have declared null and void these obnoxious and partisan laws. We denounce the failure of the Demo cratic party in this State to keep faith with the people. The pledges they gave have been broken and their promises ore unfulfilled. The retrenchment guaran teed has not been established, and instead of offices being reduced they have been increased ..id without a view to the oub lie good r convenience, but to alford an asylum for some aristocratic citizen or favored son. Laws have been passed which were never intended to be impar tially enforced-like the Concealed Wea pon, the Prohibitory and the Poll Tax Acts. Largo appropriations for higher educa tion and military trainiug have been made at the expense of the common schools, notwithstanding the last census shows an illiterate population ol 821,780 over ten years of age, of which 69,777 are white, being about one-fifth of the entire white scholastic population of the Slate. Republicans have no representa? Uve upon the Boards of Registration or Election or at the polls, while the State Board of Canvassers, composed of the State officers, all of whom are now can? didates for re-election, have bad confer red upon them judicial powers in matters of contest and protest. The State bas bees redistricted in r. wav to ont fe shame any gerrymandering scheme known elsewhere. The polling places have been increased to accommodate Dem?crata, and reduced and put at in convenient places where it will operate against Republicans. .'Republicans are excluded from the jury boxes, except in rare instances, and colored teachers are threatened witb dismissal if they take part in politics. Judicial terrorism firevails, because the inferior courts are n the bands of magistrates who are activo politicians. Where Executive clemency ia necessary the sentences of Republicans are commuted instead of free pardons being granted, thus .perpe trating their disfranchisement. . And when an effort is made through the United States Court to punish ballot-box stuffing and other political offenses, the Governor directs his prosecuting officers to defend the'criminals, and tho Legisla ture appropriates 810,000 to prevent conviction. For these and kindred reasons the Democrats fiod themselves brought to a reckoning and numerically weaker to-day after nearly eight years of power than they were io 1876 ; for, besides the utter failure to break the solid Republican phalanx, their party has been reduced by the withdrawal of a large number of men who feel betrayed and are disgusted witb the perfidy, intolerance and misrule of those who, with power to do sb much for the whole people, have proven false and incompetent and become thoroughly Bourbon i ?ed. The Republicans of the State, acting in harmony with the national platform and desiring to manifest the liberality of their organization, as well as to encour age end distinguish that body of white citizens who have risen superior to race prejudice and, defying the ostracism and hostility of Bourbon intolerance, have come out io open revolt, against, .the Democratic party, io favor of equal rights and, in u n re len ti ng opposition to political fraud abd violence, have formed sn alliance with the Independents of the Stato and made in conjunction with them an electoral ticket, composed of (Ive Republicansjind four Independents; and: We enjoin the Republican voters to sup port the ticket with the most perfect goba Wt*. . . . t?i&H Pel Io w - Republicans : T.V.ugh deeply mindful of the grievous wre.iga we have suffered and fully aware that tho ma chinery by which the Democrats, under the forms of law, have fortified them selves. In power, makes their role seem well nigh impregnable, we arc not with* ! out hope, that a better doy wilP. econ dawn. ' ? 1 For despite tbs 11 fe-long prejudices and blind hostility ol Southern whit* men, we find them now, by Ui? ?oj?ruo of. events, espousing doctrines they have in the past violently aud conscientiously opposed. For instance, a marvelous chango has taken placo in publio senti mont about tho effect and rightfulness of slavery. s nd while most thoughtful mon now seo and declaro that slavery was a material curse to real prosperity, very many feel the condemnation of its sinful ness. They admit the war was wrong or unwise and thal their publio action after its close was short-sighted and obstructive to the peace and welfare of the State and the best interests of tho people; while the mere mention of tho Black Code causes their heads to hang in shame. Contrary to all their predictions that slaves whou made free would become ? lawless aud indolent, they now agree that the freemen make the best laborers and aro law-abiding and useful citizens. The hostility to their ownership of ?and has almost passed away and opposi lion to education has not only nearly ceased, but a majority of the white peo ple honestly favor taxing themselves to educate the masses ; and there is no eec tion of tho country which has more oponly denounced the action of the Democratic party in Congress in defeating the beneficent educational bill than the people of tho South, who in this and , many other respects aro in advance of the politicians. These and other great changes in the minds and conduct of Southern people, inspire the hopo that oven the Democrat? ic conscience will be touched to the , iniquities and oppression now visited : upon un, and to tne demoralisation and j degradation whicli is being instilled and i nurtured among tho people by the po'lu- i lion of the ballot box and the trampling upon the rights of tho electivo franchise, j Fellow-citizens : Upon us is cast tho ' duty of being truo to our high destiny, i We must be equal to our needs and responsibilities. Whatever be our dis- j coursgements or tho misrule aflllctingus, wc should stand firm and steadfast and do our utmost for the triumph of tho grand principles of the great Republican . party ; and if by force and violence we ! are denied the success we hope to achieve ' we will bavo the proud satisfaction that such success was deserved and honestly j won, and tho reproach for its failure will bo upon those who bavo wrongfully preveuted it. By order of the Committee. ?. M. BRAYTON, Chairman. HENEY A. WALLACE, Secretary. What is John Kelly's Gomel WASHINGTON, September 80.-Nearly ! three months ego I telegraphed you au I account of a conspiracy to defeat the Democratic ticket in this campaign, in forming you that the chief conspirators were John Kelly, Whitelaw Reid, S. B. Elkins and a certain Massachusetts Gen eral. I maintain that the conduct of both Kelly and Butler at the Chicago Convention sufficiently corroborated my information. But such a bowl was raised after the publication of my letter, auch vigorous denials were made by John Kally in his organ and otherwise, that J tho bulk of Dem?crata were disposed to | regard my information aa not entirely reliable. I was told it could not be true -that no matter how bitterly Kelly might be opposed to Cleveland, tbo sen? timent of the party ?brou., jout the country would compel bim to swallow his personal mortification and support t'>- ?gular ticket in good faith. My re pi .vas " Wait and see." ?Tow, everybody who is not wilfully blind must see that my information has been fully verified.' I, therefore, beg leave to repeat ray assortions v 1. A full understanding exists between Kelly, Butler and Elkins. 2. Is exchange for the aid Kelly is to give secretly to the Republican ticket valuable asslstauce is to bo given to Kelley in his efforts to gain further con trol of the fat offices under tho city government, This has been so far faithfully carried out on the part of Kelly. 1. He did all .in his power to throw cold water on the ticket by declaring falsely that all the workingmen were hostile to Cleveland. 1 . 2. When be and his lieutenants return- . cd from Chicago the meeting of the Tn minn ny committee was purposely post poned in order to prevent an expression j of opinion favorable to Cleveland. ' His private morning organ was set to j. playing all tbe Butler music of which i its unpracticed pipes were capable. ? 4. When tho Tammany meeting was j finally held, tbs business cf endorsement, . which had become imperative in order to keep up the appearance of fair dealing, waa transacted in the most spiritless ana unenthusiastic fashion. Kelly said not a word in favor, and Grady was allowed to empty his vials of wrath over the head of Grover Cleveland. 6. All the whilo tho so-called Tamma ny organ was publishing everything likely to give aid and comfort to the Blaine end Logan ticket. Everything that could be scraped up against Cleve land was published in the most exagge rated and unfair manner. Not a line calculated to help the regular Democratic ticket was allowed to appear. 6. Tho Tammany city convention were called, and then the publio began to hear that all overtures for a united local ticket would not be listened to. Tammany WAS determined to nominate a straight city and county ticket and allow the other Democratic organizations to shift for themselves. This meant a clear defiance from Tammany Hall, or rather from Kelly, to the county Democracy and Irving Hall. It meant more, for it in volved a contest ia the city purposely devised to split the Democratic vote, ana so injure Cleveland's prospects. Sure enough, wheo the County Convention met this programme was carried but.' . Now, do you want any further proof of this conspiracy ?. Look at the prompt endorsement of Tammany's county ticket by tho Tribune and all tbe big and little Republican sheet*, which were all, with singular unanimity, ready with their coe. Can anything be clearer? Why should tho Tribune pronounco immediately, and almost enthusiastically, in favor Of Tam many's ticket? It is a Republican journal, and ought to favor Republican city nominations as well as State and National nominations. It is useless for me to accumulate proofs of this conspir acy, which no fair minded Republican or Democrat who takes the trouble to investigate can for a moment doubt. How to Save One Who Is Choking.

TBK PKsrnXjS?TQK STOCK SK?IIDITIOM: The show of flue colts and blooded cattle at Pendleton on lest Thursday was far better than the most enthusiastic originators of the exhibition anticipated. It was the sixty-ninth anniversary of the Pendleton Farmers' Society, which, as our readers know, is one of the oldest and most Influential organizations of farmers that bas ever exhibited in this State. Long before tho war itsanniver aary meetings were the occasion of large gatherings, and eloquent discussions of ali. the questions of interest upon the farm. Since ?be war, there bas been no effort to revive the public work of thia Society until the happy inspiration o! the exhibition of stook waa thought of. The public square at Pendleton was ?.ned for tho exhibition, tho park being . *eo np to cattle, and the specious y jets around U occupied by the horses nod colts. There were some fifty exhi bitions of cattle, including Jerseys, Ayreeblrea, D?voua, Brahmins, Holsteins and grades. We bave not space to notice tba many merits and attractions of this exhibit, but must say that it was a better exhibit than we have overseen at the State Fair. . The Holsteins exhibited by Col. M. . W. Coleman, of Seneca, attracted a great deal of attention, from the fact that they are the only animals of thc.kind in the upper portion of the State. Tho many stock fra ~i3 around Pendleton had eplen did specimens of blooded cattle there, which attracted universal commendation. The following Is a Hat of the premiums JKBSKY CATTLE.

Myers's otnrrolous Power, YORK, PA., October 8.-The publica? lion last week of an account of the re? markable restoration of ex-Sheriff Peel ing from a condition ot helplessness to apparent Btrennrth and vigor by Edmund B, Myers of this oily, has attracted tho attention cf & large number of persons who have suffered from various causea which havo banded tho skill of the legiti* mate physician. As n consequence Mr. Myers has been overwhelmed with ap? plications for relief. Arnon;-; the nura* ber whoso attention was directed to the Sotency of Mr. Myers's touch was Mr; ames Kennedy, whose homo in nt No. 1,424 North Eighteenth street, Ph i ki - dolphin, i-Mr. Kennedy arrived io this city from Philadelphia last evening. When first seen his condition was m ph iablo as to provokb the sympathy of j every beholder. With a heavy cane in each hand be hobbled along in a painful manner that could hardly ho called walking. Immediately upon his arrival he inquired for the residence of ex-Sher iff Peeling, and sought a confirmation of tho report published. For more, than nine years Mr. Kennedy has been erip* pied by what eminent pbvindana of j Philadelphia pronounced sciatica, and for which they had applied all the known remedies without avail. Finding that the treatment of the doctors a Horded biro no substantial, relief; Mr. Kennedy tried, in torn, everything which appeared, to presont a pro miso of alleviating, his suffering, not. forgetting Hot Springo, Ark., at which place ho recently, spent three months, during which tim? ne gave the far-famed baths the most thorough test. The effect was disheartening, and the Bufferer returned to his home Jo Philadelphia. Upon ranching this city and assuring himself by careful investi ?atlon that tho published account of Mr. 'soling's-cure had contained no mis statement of tho facts, he. summoned Mr. Myers to his hotel. - That mysteriously {lilted gentleman arrived at a. late hour oat evening, but stated that ho was BO completely exhausted from the effects of j a full day s hard travel to visit patients in various, parts of tho County that he could not ?non give Mr. Kennedy's case the attention it required, But made an appointment for 7'o'clock this morling; At '.'no hour named Mr.. Myers visited Afr. Kennedy at bis room in the Central Hotel. By invitation yotircorrespondent, ' was present. Mr. Myers begun by mak ing a number bf inquiries of his patient. Arter satiafving himself in regara to.' tho j nature of tho trouble, Mr, Myers began his treatment, which is remarkable only for its simplicity. After making ? few delicate passes, or, more properly speak lng, rubs, over the afflicted parta, thc operator placed ono band upon the pa?! ticnt'u forehead and tho other upon tho. back of his head; This waB continued for ?'few minutes, and then the operator said, jocularly, but with an assurance which.v/nn indicative of his own confi dence : "I rriust now say, in the la.ngu.ago of the Scripture, take ap thy'b?a and walk."1 Mr. Kennedy obeyed, hesitating* ly at first, but moro.boldly when bo dis covered that the task was not difficult. Marvelous! as tt may appear, it is neverV .hcites * fact, tbs! s sss who was JOB* j terday and has been for years a hornless cripple, who!labored painfully along, with half paralysed and useless limbs, to day 'walked tho street and promenaded the office of the Central Hotel with tho vigor cud buoyancy cf youth and without" j a perceptible halt in bis gait. Whether [ the result will be permanent or the tran? .' sltory result of excitement, or mesmeric influence, limo will tell. Mr. Kennedy' jubilantly relates tho details of his case j to every inquirer. Taking his two canes he hobbles along,, saying : "Thia ia how I walked yesterday with two vanes." Tben, putting down ono Of thc sticks, hie demonstrates with the otherbow difficult locomotion was with that slight help. Then ho strides firmly up and down tho long room, kicking playfully at different objects and swinging his cano in the air as though that article was purely, an ornamental part of his makeup.' : A Funny Paragraph Jo Merlons Ear ' .Past.. i It ls an undeniable fact that tho In corporated towns of the State haye this j year beeb subjected to more sickness and disease, and lost more Inhabitants there from, than during any year aloco Ibo war.? Tho only reasonable cause to be-assigned far this increase in.the death rate is the condition of the streets and public thoroughfares of these tb wns during tho summer season. Since tho enactment of the Stock law tho municipal authorities, with a small revenas at their command have been uoable to beep down the rank and poisonous vegetation and tho gnrbac/o productivo of disease whenever - exposed for any length of ?imo to tho sun's rays, and which was always destroyed by tho cowa and hogs running at large prior to the enactment, of ibis law. If this decaying vegetation and garbage is the! cause of all the sickness which has con* signed hundreds and hundreds oj? people to tho gravo during the present season, we think that an. amendment to tho Stock law, exempting incorporated towns from iii? provisions of the Act just so far as their limits ?stand would bo a public benefit, and in no way conflict with those advantages which aro derived therefrom by plantersand olhern.-BarnveJl S?nti Pf* ' ? .' ... m ; . . :" ' : ? - Did you road those hcrrlMo stork? of the Arctic sufferers living ? off each other?" asked MiVXurapley of for. husband. : "Yea, I read all the particu lars." .'Dreadful.

Rob ert Filkins, who went to Europe with tba Haverly Mastodon Minstrels, retorofd to America soma weeks ago to arrango for the coming of what be claims ia the miss* log link in the chain of evidence support* lng tho Darwinian theory of man's tran? Bitfon from the monkey state. The being was shown to-day tb. a number of acion* lists at Central Park, und was.compared to the chimpauxeo which belongs ' to tho zoological garden of that establishment. . In soma respects the new aped mau proved to be an advancement over tho chimpanzee ; tu some others tho chim-. panzee had the advantage. For instance, the monkey ha? no tail, whilo the new specimen, which} arrived last night and was shown to-day by Mr. Filkins, ha? at least the beginning of one. Tho new specimen, on the other band, talks in Burmese and slightly in German, while the chimpanzee naturally cannot speak at all. Tho now specimen la called "Krao." Sha ls nothing moro nor less than an interesting and engaging female, with ? ever.il characteristics akin to those of the gorilla tribe. Ctol. Yule Borne time ago diecovered a tribe of '.'hairy mea" in a remote portion of the. world, and Krao who was found i?. Labs, ? region near Siam, by tba distinguished traveller Cari bock, corresponds with the description given of that race. It ls said that the race to which Krao belongs live in rude huts built in tho branches of trees, and aubstbt on fish, which they eat raw, and fruit. The whole*-body is covered with hair, which gives a gorilla-Iiko appear anoo. Though Krao s father and mother . were captured along with her, she is the f. only ono of tho three who was safely : brought to Euro ju;; but from photographs of tho .parents which Mr. Hiltons pos sesses, tba public can judge of the appear ance of the.adults of this strange mo of beings. Krao herself beara a strong re- ? semblance .to her parents, and affords in every feature a perfect proof of tho extra ordinary position which sho holds as tho "missing link" between man and monkey. From the crown bf ber head to the soles of her feet;she is covered with long, fur like , hair, jot black in color and- quito soft, to the touch., From her eyebrows, upward, her whole hoad is adorned, with bair bf a lather coarse toxtuVo, whilo ber I arms, h ar, th), leg** and feet and tho whole -body are oopjp'eie?y enveloped ; iu n natural soft fur of. black hair, entirely covering her dark skin.
