This part of the State is the! stronghold of the Democratic party. Tho plan developed by idip.is tho only feasible way of dveiwowiii|ri Bour bonistn. When white men become candidates and white .votes are polled for them they are 'generally counted, Tho nogro vote is almost' always the only one tampered with. The reason ?for this ts obvious. The Independents, as they, are sometimes called, are late ly composed of the most violent and! dangerous political partisans, These men are those who organized them solvos into the infamous red shirt and rifle clubs, woro staunch followers of | Hamburg Butler and Hampton, and Were tho tools of Butler in the Ham burg aud Kllenton riots in '76.

The only prtuoiple at stake is the purity of the 1 ballot-box. For eight years there has never been a fair election in South Carolina. Oar efforts are a protest against the outrages of the1 past. All of my followers, aa well as myself, are thoroughly disgusted with Bourbon Democracy. We don't believe in an I oligarchy, and a wayfaring mau can pirn lily see that even the white people, are only a cat's-paw for the banafcl of aristocrats who use as and then abnse as. The actiou of such men as Deaeu dorf, of Virginia, makes onr work harder, and there are plenty of them 111 this State. *Thp cohesive power of I pnbllc plunder' keeps them together, while the judicious distribution of pap blinds many of the leaders of the oof-1 ored people to their own interests. We are going to-take away from the Bourbons In this campaign all of their thunder* Their main stay is Anglo-1 Saxon supremacy. By a judicious selection we'll whip them on their own battlo ground. I think wo can give tho white voters of this State a far | moro dooent ticket than the Bourbons. How wo proposo to oloct it Is some-1 thing like this: The total vote of the Stato is about 200,000. Thero are 86. 000 white votes against 116,000 colored. The colored vote is praotlcally solid; say tho anti-Bourbon ticket Rots 100,-j 000 colored votes, wo shall poll at least 26,000 while votos, whioh will givo our ticket 126,000 votes against 76,000 ] for tho opposition.

The Association thon adjourned sine *? |' TQXABTBDB BOOM. , A Circular to lUynWoui D?l?c?tei to Mto XfttloMl Convention. The circular prepared by the Repub lican conference committee or Koto York city, and sent to every delegate choson to attend the Republican Na tional Convention, baa been made pub lic. It starts out with the assumption that the Republican partycannot win in the next election without the elec toral vote Of Now York. It iloolaros that "auy candidate who has bcon in any way involvod in' the Republican faction fights in New York would, howevqr commondablo his qualities In other respects might be, lose thousands Of Republican and Independent votes, thoreby putting tlio Btato in tbo utmost jeopardy." This is understood to be aimed at President Arthur. It, Is then declared that "any man whose record i* tainted with the advocaoy of an tin sound cionoy system would bo Particu larly weak ' in New YOrk." This Is meant for Gou. Logan. It is finally asserted that "any candidate likely to launch the Government into a fantastio or adventurous policy calculated to bring about a disturbance of our peao* able intoroourse with forelgu countries will therefore inspire distrust, and not only lose a great mauv individual votes, but also deprive the Republican ticket of that moral and toaterial sup* port which it usually receives from the business commnnito gone rally." This is intended for Mr. Blaine. The oireu* lar concludes by declaring that "there are among the prominent members of the Republican party men well fitted to be its standard-bearers?men of puro record and irreproachable charac ter?men untainted with the scandals of past administrations or with odious affiliations?men of sound principles, and commending themselves In all essential rospccts to the esteem and confidence of their fellow-cititens." THK POLITIC AX. PROSECUTIONS. Why they w?n Dl?oontlnued~Mr. Melton had Nothing WhManr to do With the M?tter-The Mystery Solved. {Special to the Jlegitter.] . Darlington, 8. O., May 18.?'The Barnwell Sentinel, in an issue of lute date, says that "Melton gave as his reason for disooutiuulng the politi cnl oases the inability of too Govern ment to convict with Sonth Carolina juries." Tho Kershaw Gazette says that Melton "seeks to take upon him self the credit of stopping them." The Chester Reporter asks why Mr. Mel ton did not uso his discretion at first, thus implying that Melton had dlscon tlnuod tho cases at his own discretion The Pickons Sentinel says that he de serves no oredit for* discontinuing them. I have quoted fVom tho abovo men tioned papers morely to show that thov wore mistaken as to the reason why the political oases were dropped. The Netoa and Courier, too. with alt its keen soent after news, after its elabo* rate editorials on the subjeot and long interviews with Melton, failed to get a key to the solution of tho mystery. Melton had nothing to do with tho matter. If it had been loft to him the cases would be ou tho dooket oven now. The facts of tho matter in brief are these: A number of Congress men, sovoral of thom from South Caro Hna, waited upon Attorney General Brewster and requested him to stop the prosecution of the political casos, telling him that no good couldoome of it, and that it would but keep the State in au eternal ferment. He. upon this representation, promised to have them stopped, and upon his order they wore discontinued. This I know to be true, for one Cotigreisman that was with the number that waited on the Attorney General for this purposo gave me thofkots above narrated.
