F«XLow-CmaKN»: A struggle of fluvreeebiog and wldo-Bpread impor tance is now In progress. By Us result Uft eoUectlve morality of (he Ameri can people will be measured, and their fltness togoreni themselres with wis dom bo judged. To reftise to condemn erime is to condone it. To choose as President a candidate who has betrayed a public trust h to inrite and encour age official infldeUty. In a govern- meat brand for the people, venality in him who is elected Chief Magistrate is more portentous of Hi than the shadow of the sword. The wounds inflicted on liberty by the band of miUtary power may, in course of time, be heelea; but national blood-poison ing, by corruption in high places, is necessarily Incurable. This political campaign, therefore, concerns yon, not only as South Carolinians, not only as Democrats, bat as Americans, who know neitner North nor South when the honor and welfare of the Union are imperilled. As you value recti tude and constancy in the servants of the people; as you prize the general welfare, and are resolved to secure to posterity your heritage of freedom ; so must you,* in the coming election, zeal ously and unflinchingly do your whole duty. la name, the present political con test is between two great nartios, the Democratic and the Republican. In one of these parties, however, the political line is broken. Among the roost ardent advocates of the election of Cleveland and Hendricks, the Dem ocratic candidate* for President and Vice-President, are Republican citl- aens of unsullied reputation and high position, who have nitherto voted the Republican ticket. Their reasons for aevering old and cherished political asaoolaUons are best given in their own words. They refuse to go with the Republican party, in this election, because that party oners them, in the E ton of James 0. Blaine, u a candi- l who is an unfit leader, shown by own words and bis acknowledged aets, which are of official record, to be unworthy of respect and confidence; who has traded upon his official trust for Ma pecuniary gain; a representa tive of men. methods and conduct which the pnollo conscience condemns, aad which Uluctrate the verv evils that honest men would reform/’ The In dependent Republicans, in the address adopted at the New York Conference, say farther: “While the Republicans present a candidate whom we cannot sapport, the Democratic party presents oua whose name is the synonym of poutiefU courage and honesty and ad ministrative reform. He has dis charged every official trust with solo applause and confidence of both ties, lias raised him from the executive administration of a great dtp to that of a great State. His high sense of public daty, bis absolute and unchallenged official integrity, his inflexible courage in resisting party pressure and public outcry, his great experience in the details of admlnis (ration, and his commanding oxecutive abilty and Independence are precisely the qualities which the political situa tion demands in the chief executive officer of the Government, to resist oorporate monopoly on the one hand ana demagogic communism on the other, aad at homo and abroad, with out menace or foar, to protect every - right of Americans citizens, and to respect every right of friendly States hy making political morality and pri vate honesty the basis of Constitu tional Administration.” In these ut terances of earnest and patriotic men, the Democrats of this State and of the Union find an exact definition ot paramount issue in the present can vass. * Again and again, the Democrac have presented to the country car dates who joined marked ability to cleanness of personal character and experience in*pnbllc life. No “tat- icy di- tooed man” has ever received the nomination of the National Council of the Democratic party. The personal qualifications of the Democratic nomi- Mas now command the general recog nition they always deserved. There is good reason for it. The Indepen dent Republicans remind ns that the country has seen, with surprise and shame, a Republican Vice-President driven In disgrace Into private life; a Republican Secretary of War partici pating in felony; a Republican Secre tary of the Navy growing rich, while our fleets, for which millions of money were appropriated, became the laugh ing Stock of nations; a Republican Attorney-General accused of sharing in petty frauds. The last Republican Speaker of Dm.House of Representa tives was convicted of nepotism and mendacity. Nefarious asaociatious for obtaining ooiyorata contracts bestowed their “gratifications” and “tokens of thankfulness” upon the Republican who was elected President four years ago. Fresh, too, in public memory is the story ot the star-route frauds, of the doings of the whiskey ring, of the land grants to grasping corporations, and the land grabs by alien absentees. The people, this year, were ripe for political revolt, but the managers of the Republican machine scoffed at criticism and booted at warning, tendered reckless by a long lease pf ■aisased power, debauched by ill-gotten the machine-made delegates in .publican Convention chose as ‘ party** candidate for President a who attracts to him, as with a magnet, each official rogue and hungry •land who draws to him, as like Hke, every poll deal speculator gains, th the tepo their part wbe era vet the means of peculation In ffitfertar*, or who need* Immunity t&r in the past. Soltis that, of what Is most dobas- loan nabiio Ufa In the Revolutionary war, the freemen of the United Colo- one iu thought, one In pur- one in action. Whatever their associations or prejudices; r they dwelt on the silvery odson or the tawny James; whether they tramped through the pines of the Candidas or shivered and starved on the slopes of Valley Forge, their only thought was to dsro all things, to en dure all things, to do ail things, in order to win seif-rnle and accomplish national independence. This year, also, the American peoplo fight for freedom and deliverance—troedom from the tyranny of wrong, ami deliv erance from the despotism of corrup tion. In union, for the Union, is political strength and victory. Fellow-citizens: You would,as loyal Democrats, lake an active part in the present campaign, even if you were absolutely sure that, whatever the event in Koromber, you would retain a frugal, just and capable government in your own State. But you have not that certainty. Upon the election of Blaine, the political cauldron would again babble in this State, and iu every State similarly circumstanced. The defeat of Cleveland will palsy the arms of those Republicans who have hitherto striven to check the ferocity and curb the rapacity of the political freebooters who have chosen Mr. Blaine as their chief. Thoughtful and high-minded Republicans, in every State, now pledge their votes to Cleve land, because he is the embodiment of the idea and fact of governmental purity and efficiency. Failure in No vember will deprive them of political influence for many years to come. The Federal offices, big and little, arc counted by tens of thousands; but there is not scope and room enough for the profitable employment of the entry who, as they “will not bo dcad- cads in the enterprise" and “see vari- ons channels in which they can be use ful,” will clamor for participation in the profits^ They will demand, in case of Blaine’s election, the opportu nity for more stealing, more rapine aud robbery, in the South. The pre text for a now crusade is outlined in the Republican report on the Copiah aflair, and is hinted at in the letters of Mr. Blaino and General Logan accept ing the nomination for President and Vice-President. The Democratic party, the white people of the State and their colored allies, have conducted the government of South Carolina for seven years. In every department of the State Govern ment, in every walk of life, are the marks aud symbols of intelligent and upright rule. The chief executive officer of the State has guarded vigi lantly the rights of the people, taking care that the laws arc faithfully exe cuted, in mercy. The judges on the bench, in their ability, conscientious ness, aud their high conception of their duties, are worthy of the day when the decisions of South Carolina Judges were respected throughout the laud. The public expenditures have been diminished; the interest on the public debt is regularly and promptly mot. The school debts, contractoo by the Republicans and Ictl unpaid, have been lifted from the shoulders of the educational system; the number of pupils iu the public schools grows rapidly; the length of the school ses sion is extended; the pay of teachers is increased. On all sides there are evidences of that steady and healthy growth which was impossible during the agonizing years of Radical domin ion. 8o vast has been the improve ment in the condition of the State that it is estimated that the whole income of the people of South Carolina in 1883 was considerably greater than their whole income from every source in 1860. Of all this—of the tranquil ity, the security, the comfort, the self- respect, the progress, the pride in your State and in yourselves which Demo cratic rule gives and secures—the de feat of Cleveland and the trihmph of Blaine will threaten to deprive vou. Naturally, your first thoufchl is of the State Government. You control that overnment in all its departments. In ts effect upon your fortunes, in what it assures and what it promises, the value of that control is incalculable. With the election of Blaine the old difficulties will return. The defeat of the Democratic candidates for Presi dent and Vice-President in November will weaken that control. Nay! you tnav lose it altogether. Fellow-citizens: Lack of success in a campaign so auspiciously begun, aud under circumstances so extraordinarily favorable, will inevitably loosen the ties which bind the Democratic party together. Yet another catastrophe at the polls will render it difficult in the extreme to maintain the Democratic organization in its present breadth and vigor. Faint hearted Democrats will be tempted to abandon the losing side and seek new alliances. Opposition to the Democratic party in this State will, indeed, be alarming, when a strong body of white Democrats, seek ing political independence, shall give cohesion and energy to the colored masses. From such an alliance nought but evil can come. Then your choice would lie between submission aud revolution. Even if you can, two years hence and two years afterward, elect such & Democratic government as that which the State now possesses, you will still, in the event of defeat iu the national arena, be confronted with trials and dangers from which you now are free. It is evident that there cannot be any thorough harmony between the races, any general co-operation for the advan tage of the State, any absolute assur ance of the permanence of Honest Home Rule while a horde of office holders, scattered through South Caro- Hna, use the power and authority of the United States os a cloak and a shield iu their plotting against the tranquility and welfare of this Com monwealth. They distort facts; they circulate falsehoods; they warp the public service to partisan ends. Such conduct is mischievous - enough in States where the voters, as a class, are thoughtful and intelligent. It is crim inal In a State where the majority of the voters are ignorant, credulous aud Suspicious. The freedman is only too yield blind obedience to the behests of Federal officials, untutored mind they represent the United States on the huttiugs in the earns sense that they represent the Government In any,department of the public service. And tl banditti who pervert tc betnmisfioners are thffir antrjtaMfo meats, their hospitals, their camps of reftige. They sally forth like the free* hooters of old when there is any hope of plunder. When the* meet with •tfirdy resistance they retire in haste to their strongholds. There thoy re pair damages at the public expense. There they plaster their wounds with government notes paid out to them for suppositious services. There they livb and thrive, growing sleek and fat who ever else may suffer. The flag of ttif United States, waving over them, ren ders the den of thieves as inviolable as the Temple of Liberty Itself. These knaves, tlieso raiders, these robbers must he banished from tho public I ilaocs which they defile and desecrate, ’ut in the Federal offices zealous, pure and industrious men, who will show their respect for the government by making it respectable, and tho politi cal reformation mid industrial restora tion of South Carolina will be com plete. The cloud which now veils tho ever-shining sun of progress and con tent will be dispelled, and tho United States Government, as known and Judged by its officers and immediate representatives, will become a trusted agent and friend, looked upon by all good citizens with pride and satisfac tion, because worthy, in every part, of the Republic and its people. Fellow-Citizens: You have every incentive to labor unremittingly until tlie noils shall be closed on the 4th day of November. ,yon will do this, if you value good government at home, and desire that it shall bo made per petual. You will do this, if you de sire the continuance and growth ^bf good-will between the diverse elements ot our population, so that the groat political and industrial problem of the century shall be safely and peacefully solved. You will do this, if vou wish that the American citizen shall be re spected everywhere and his rights bd jealously protected. You will do this, if, iu the momentous struggle now iu progress, yon desire that good shall triumph over evil, right over wrong, purity over impurity, fidelity in public life over blistering rascality in public office. For your own sake, for the well-being of your families; for the conservation of your property; for the sake of those who arc to come after you and to whom you desire to transmit unimpaired the benefits of the republi can institutions which your fathers founded; for all tliat you possess and all that you require, we most earnestly exhort you to spare no pains and fail in no effort to give a sweeping majori ty tor Cleveland and Hendricks at tho polls iu South Carolina in November. Let your courage be equal to your hopes, and you cannot, will not fail. James F. Izlau, Chairman. ItiF.tBE ^ THK “INDEPENDENT” PARTY. Con was Secret Convention Electoral and grevalonal Nomination*, Etc. On tho 20th of August a circular issued from the headquarters of the Independent party of South Caro lina, 103 Meeting street, Charleston, S. C., as follows: A Convention of the “Independent I’arty of South Carolina,” will be held at Columbia, on Thursday, September 4, 1883, at 12 o’clock, m., for the pur pose of making nominations and trans acting any other business which may be deemed for the party’s good. The State Committee will meet on the evening before tho Convention at the United States Court House to trans act some very impoatant business. All members are urged to be present. J. Hendrix McLank, Chairman. T. Barker Jones, Secretary. Iu accordance with this notice there was a meeting of the so-called “Inde pendents” in Columbia on Thursday last, in the postoffioe building. The proceedings were secret, but it is known that J. Hendrix McLane was chairman and Dr. Bowen, of Marion, secretary. Orangeburg, Charleston, Aiken, Marion, Fairfield, Chester, Chesterfield and Sumter are said to have been represented. It tvas claimed by a delegate, that there were about seventy-five members in the Conven tion, including white and colored. All the white men who were present were Green backers. Tho Convention nominated an elec toral ticket as follows: At Large— W. W. Russell, of Anderson, and C. C. Macoy, of Chester. 1st District —J. T. Brown, of Summerville. 2nd District—Dr. Wm. Durham, of Aikoii. 3rd District—G. J. Green, of Oconee. 4th District—C. C. Turner, of Spar tanburg. 5th District—J. L. Watson, of York. 6th District—A. If. Bowen, of Marion. 7th District—Thos. Bas kins, of Sumter. The following nominations for Con gressmen were made: 1st District— J. Hendrix McLane, of Charleston. 2nd District—W. H. Duncan, of Barn well. 4th District—D. R. Fcaster, of Fairfield. 5th Distridt-r-A. G. John ston, of Chester. 6(h District—Dr. M. Kelly, of Willhinisburg. No nominations were made for the Third or the Seventh District, which is in accordance with the recent state ment of Mr. W. W. Russell, that no opposition would be made to Con gressman Aiken’s re-clcction, and also an evideuce of co-operation with the Radicals in the Black District. Tho nomination of a State ticket was entrusted to the State Committee, and their selection will be announced at an early day, should the committee deem it advisable to place such a ticket iu the field. The electoral ticket is in the interest of Blaine and Logan. , Ben Butler’* Movement. Chicago, September 4.—Ben Butler left for Minneapolis at ten o’clock-this evening. He will make a short stay at Milwaukee en route. Gen. Butler to an Associated Press representative this morning declined to make anv statement ns to a probable fusion with Democrats in Illinois. He had a con sultation during the morning with Oberly, chairman of the Democratic central committee, upon the subject. Members of the People’s party present at the conference declared that no de cision is to fusion would be reached for the present. Shot by * Marlon.

From the Nm»t anti Courier.] Theta is naturally a great deal of curiosity to know what plan of cam paign the South Carolina Republicans will adopt this year. There are all sorts of rumors iu the air about the vigorous efforts that are being made to resuscitate the old corpse, and “the leaders” are displaying more than usual activity in getting their old. fol lowers into line again. Whatever the extent of the revival of Republicanism in the State, there is certainly good reason why the Democrats should be unceasing in their vigilance. Iu four of the Congressional districts which are now represented by Democrats there is talk of opposition to tho Dem ocratic nominees, and it has been seri ously proposed by some of the more prominent members of the party that the Republicans should nominate a full State ticket. This question and all other questions as to the policy of the party in the State will be determined at the meeting of the State Convention in Columbia on September 28. IN THE FIRST DISTRICT it is generally conceded among the Re publicans that John M. Freeman, a colored lawyer of Charleston and a clerk in the citv jpostoffice, would be the strongest candidate that could be nominated for Congress in opposition to the Hon. Samuel Dibble, of Orange burg. As there is a clear Democratic majority in this district, of course Freeman will not be elected even if he should be nominated, but it is evident that he is willing to be sacrificed. In conversation vesterday with a reporter for the News and Courier, Freeman said: “Ex-Assistant District Attorney Marshall is spoken of as the man who will be brought out to oppose Mr. Dibble. I have been urged to accept tho nomination myself. I have never sought the place and will not seek it; but there are few who would refuse it if tendered.” Other prominent Republicans say that Freeman’s chances for the nomi nation are good, and that he is doubt less the coming man. There is no fear of the result in this district. No Republican candidate could overcome the Democratic ma jority, and Freeman’s object in becom ing a candidate can only be accounted for on the presumption that he has an idea that Blaine will be elected, and that Freeman, having encountered de feat for the cause, would then be in the direct line of promotion, and would merit the approval of the Tat tooed man from Maine. IN THE SECOND DISTRICT there has been so far little talk of op position to Mr. Tillman. Within the last few days, however, S. E. Smith, of Aiken, a colored man, has been mentioned as a possible candidate for Congress from that district. Smith is nnknown to fame. It is fair to pre dict that he will have a hard road to travel, but doubtless he imagines that he would nflt be a dead-head in case bis illustrious leader should be sent to the White House. IN THE THIRD DISTRICT it has been rumored that W. W. Rus sell, of Anderson, the chairman of the State Greenback committee in 1882, would be a candidate for Congress against Col. D. Wyatt Aiken. There can be no truth in such a report as Mr. Russell lias already openly de clared.that he will support Colonel Aiken. Even if ho should run against Colonel Aiken he would be over whelmingly defeated. IN THE FOURTH DISTRICT the Democrats will have a “walk over.” tk>B to th* Democracy.

Ex-Congressman A. S. Wallace, of York county, has been mentioned as a probable candi date for the Independent nomination. Tbis^an hardly be true, however, as it is understood that Mr. Wallace voted at tho recent Democratic primary elec tion in York county, and by so doing declared his return to bis old affiliation in the Democratic party. THE SIXTH DISTRICT. It is not improbable that the Repub licans will nominate a candidate for Congress iu the Sixth District in oppo sition to tl»e Hon. George W. Dargan, of Darlington. In 1882 there was a triangular contest in this district, Mr. Dargan being opposed by Deas, color ed, Republican, and Dr. Bowen, white Grecnbacker. Bowen has been ex ceedingly quiet since .his defeat two years qgo, out Deas is now and has been for some weeks circulating rather freely among bis “constituents” in the Sixth District. His speeches on sever al recent occasions have been charac terized by great bitterness, and ho is doing all he can to infiuence the pas sions of his ignorant followers. IN THE BLACK DISTRICT there is considerable confusion in the Republican ranks and the Convict Congressman is shaking in his shoes. Smalls is certain to have very formida ble opposition. Some of his strongest supporters in the past are drifting away from him, and there is no telling Where it will end. Tho extent of the revolt against Smalls is not known, but it is more than probable that there will be a sharp struggle for the regu lar Republican nomination and a hard light at the polls after the nomination has beeirtfiade. [There has been some talk of running a Democratic candi date in the Black District, but it will probably not be done. Most of tho Democratic papers oppose the move ment. Quite a number of Radicals are mentioned in connection with the nomination.] ^ TUF.
