A CALL UPON THE WHITE PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION-REMOVING THE NE GRO FROM POLITICS ON THE Mis SIssIPPI PLAN. Chairman Irby of the State Demecratic Execut'. Committee has proniulgated in cihalf of the Democratic campaign committee the following important address to the ) e m o c r a ti c voters of the State: To the Democratic Voters of South Carolina: Tie executive committee being charged with the welfare of the party and the success of its policy as outlined in its platform, which . policy carries with it the welfare of a majority of the people, we feel constrained to direct the ape ial attention of the necessity and importance of the plank in the platform adopted by the recent Democratic State convention urg ing every Democratic voter to sustain the call for a constitution-. al convention. It is well known that there are f groat differences existing between the white factions in the State, one of which has yielded reluctant obedience to the will of the ma- . jority. The strained relations t which have existed since 1890, with the factional bitterness dis played by that portion of the State press which has opposed the gov erning majority with a malevo lence and factional spirit almost unprecedental, point inevitably to a permanent division in the ranks of the white people, for which this minority alone must be held re sponsible. Confronted as we have been by a colored voting popula tion 40,000 in excess of the whites since the revolution of 1876 white supremacy has been almost the only test of Democracy, and its maintenance the compelling mo tive for submission after the party had spoken at the conventions and primaries. But there are many t evidences that the ties which have hound our people together are be ing systematically riven asunder and the public mind beig educa ted to appeal to this ignorant, de based vote to restore to power those who have been unable to command a majority of the white vote. The State newspaper, the organ which was started by the Independ ents in 1891 and which has recent ly exhausted all its expedients to I bring about another bolt and do feat of the party nomineos, has time and again ridiculed and sneer ed at the possible danger of an ap peal to the colored vote. This newspaper backed by a large num ber of other papers, is now urging the organization of the so-called "true D~emocracy" and boldly an - nounces the purpose to ignore the present party machinery andl the executive committee as at piresent comnposed as being representative of the Democratic party. These facts are knownm of all muon and they can have but one moaning the purpose on the part of the mi nority to appe~al to the negro) as the arbiter of our politics in the campaign of 1896. During the past s'pring and summer strenuous efforts have beent made ostensibly at the instigation of the Republi canis to overthrow the registration lawy. We have reason to know that the Independents, as shownm by the columns of certain news papers, have instigated1 and symn p~athmized with these: attemplts. So that it cannot he reasonably dis puited that there is ai desperate faction in the State beont oni re gaining p)ower at any oost. We dleem it unnecessary to dlirect at tentLion to the inevitable conse quences which will follow d ivieion of the whites into anything like equal factions, and the bringing in ot the negro as the balance of Trho only reason why we are not~ now in the throes of a political agitation, with contending factions mobilizing the black army of vot ers, is that the movement was considered hopeless. It was a quiestion of expediency and1( not one of principle or p~atriotism with many. We are glad to know that the failuriie of the llot which came to the surface on the 27th of August is (Iuc to thme patriotism and self-control of the large body of conservative meni who, wvhile voting with the minority in the campaign of 1892, submitted gracefully to its results and were unwilling to jeopardhize the public welfare by such a desperate von hure. Fortunately the opportu nity is offered to the white people of the State in the coming elec tion to obviate all future dan ger, and fortify Anglo-Saxon civ iliza Lion against every assault from within and without, and that is the calling o1 a constitutional con vention to deal with the. all-im portant question of suffrage. By a strange and uncountable change of base that class in the State Iwhich has always stnod fr mmai fled suffrage, and denied the ca. pacity or the right of the masses to participation in the government tre to-day loud-mouthed in their loclaration that they are chai )ions of the poor white man whose iote is threatened, as they say. i Fvery newspaper controlled by :his class is teeming with all muan ier of specious and false argu- < iients against voting for a conven ion. They say that the white rotors who are ignorant ad poor i vill have cast their last ballot if x hey vote for a convention. They c hvoll with pathetic concern on the I njury to the free schools and by I ivory devico known to sophistry t Lre trying to throw dust in the c tyes of the masses. Plain speak- i ng is best and we shall not mince < vords. Wo propose to show that E here is (loop-dyed treachery to ( vhite supremacy in this antagon- I smi to a now constitution. In the so-called convention coni >osed of self-appointed delegates I vhich assemblod on the 25th of t 'eptember for the avowed purpose d .f nominating an Indopendent r icket and appealing to the negro, a he following resolution, which be- t rayed the whole damnable scheme i vas passed and the oponing gun I or '96 therefore fired: "Resolved, That while this con- I rontion desired to avoid doing c mything likely to cause increased F trifo among our people, we believe i hat the principles of Democracy, he safety of every interest in the stato and the instinct of self-pre ervation domand that a hard and t iarnest fight be made against the e >roposition to call a constitutional >onvention to creato a new funda- I nental law involving the rights E )f every man in the State without i )roviding for the submission of its vork to the people. We tender to ,he opponents of this iniquitous, indumocratic tyranny and danger- i )us proposition, the service of the )rganization ho'in provided for and invito then to join with us in t ighting it at the approaching gen- 1 ral election." L What does this resolution moan? d te purpose is shown by the fact a hat at the timo of its passage t ,here was in the hall a negro repro- a itative of the Republican party, 1 yhlo a half at dozen colored and f oyhite leaders of that party were a waiting in the lobby of the State I House ready to join hands with the I [ndependent mfloviment as soon as i It had been launched. Now who i Lre the "opponents" of this "in- I quitous, undomecratic, tyrannical I md dangerous proposition ?" Who 1 iro invited "to join with us in I ighting it at the approaching gen ral election?" None but the ne Yroes of course. This is shown by Ahe offer of tho notorious ex-Con rossinan Smalls to canvass the State in opposition to the con vention. Why (10 these self-ap pointed guardians who have been repudiated by the people appear so solicitious for the negro's right to vote? Plainly because they want to be0 beneficiaries of that vote two years fromi now. Why do they want to preserve to the ig norant and dlebasoed negro his bal lot? Simply because their fell pur pose is to cover the ballot of every poor white mani with the ballots of two ignorant negroes and there by restore themselves to office and power. While charging that it is the purpose of the prommoiainti faction of the Democratic party to disfranchiiso the poor illiterate white men along with the negro, :os niot any reasonable man know ,hiat that faction being largely made up of this class would not lisfranchiso its own followers? What p~olitical party ever commit bed suicido or relinquished volun tarily the control of public af rairs? The poor white men of the Stato havo never received recog nition until within the last four years. They are now the arbiters of their own fortunes, and, if they miss the opp)ortunity of taking guarantees in the neOw constitution of the continued supremacy of the Anglo-Saxon in South Carolina, we predict confideintly that, coim mencing with '96, our pl)Oitical camp~aigns in this State will wit ness a return of more terrible and demoralizing condition th~an ever confrontedI this people0, even du ring the (lays of Scott, Moses and Chamberlain. The reckless, des [perate Men, whose Machavalian cunning is now playing the double gamne of bidding for the negro vote, and claiming to be the guardians of .theo poor wvhites, are bent on re gainmng control of our affairs at any cost. They are oblivious of the fact that the vast horde of ig norant negroes, once organized and disciplined to overpower the white miajority in each other being once destroyed, the negroes inevitably will seize power for their own benefit. We say to the white men, who are threatened by the Inde~pendent newspapers with disfranchisement, that Mississippi with a colored voting population larger than ours has adopted a constitution, which, without disfranichising a single white man, has reduced the regis.. tered negro vote of. that 8tit to Carolina alone of all th O itructfd States still keepsthe 4 - Ititution forced upon hor a point of the bayonet by scalavag md aliens. The cost of a constitutional con rention, while of no importance zn omparison with the benefits to be lorived, need not under any cir uimstances exceed $50,000. There ro many benefits other than the, egulation of the suffrage to be se. ured by changes in the organic aw. While these might be ob aimed by the slow and unsatisfac. ory process of amendment, we andi dly ask any sensiblo man Vhat hope there would be for so uring the adoption of a new con titution involving the regulation of suffrage, if it had to be submit ed back to the people. It has >een the settled purpose of the rusted leaders of the Democratic iarty for years to call a constitu ional convention, and obviote the angers which have lurged in our ridst so long, only waiting for a ivision among tile whites to rear heir horrid heads. That division 3 now . more than apparent. 'he reality is upon us. The peo 10 through the irrepresentatives n the Legislature and the Demo ratic conveltion has time and gain demanded that such a con '9ntion be called. Those nowspa >ers which claim to be Democratic Jnd which antagonized this great oforni are either bling leaders of he blind or the servile tools of the onspirators. We warn the white men who ove South Carolina and would eo a constitution of good govern. Ont, and the rule of an intelli Ornt whito majority to thrustaside md pay no heed to the arguments >f those who seek to blind them to ru6 inntorests. After a long year >f struggle, the opportunity is irosented to them of fixing thi hng forever. All quostions to be assed on by the convention can O discussed when the election of elogatos is to take place. It is a lander an(d an insult to say that ho )0ople hav3 not the patriotism nd intelligence to elect men from mong thomselves, to frame an or anic law better suited to our vants than that impoped on us by he carpet-bagger and alien. The visest and the best of our citizen hip can chose to perform this del cate and patriotie duty without egard to faction, once the conven ,ion is ordered. The point which ye would urge with all the vigor Lt our command is that the oppor .unity is now here. It certainly is not likely to soon recur. If the people fail to seize it and the evils of mongrelism, governmental do bauchery and political demoral. ization shall descend up)on tho State after the next election, they will have none to blame but them selves. Let all true Democrats and pa triotic white men go to the polls an the 6th of November and vote ~or the constitutional convention. J. L. M. Iuny, Chairman, WrLI JONEs, C. M. EiR D, D). E. KEEJ,, 0.

The Register has charge, and vill continue to charge, that the -eal object of the Independents in >pposing the calling of a constitui bionial conlvention is to leave the negro voto free for their use in 1896.
