• Oolumbu, 8. C...September 1,1884.
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

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.

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.

Fight Again*! Smalls-The 1
a a gtoto Tfchet.
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.”

IN THE FIFTH DISTRICT
there lias been some talk of opposition
to the Hon, John J f Hemphill, but so
far as known no definite organization
has been attempted by. the enemies of
good government. 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.]
