FOR CLE1iOF COURT,

C0ENEIuS R. MEANS.
"A irbudE divided agaihst itself
sahall'ndlt stand."
VOT 'r er Denocratic ticket
strdiglitl'rtuglh.
RAICArLISM Its not dead ; 'nor is it
even sleeping. Ever on the alert,
it will make a det6rmined di'ort
when least expected.
Ou-r or twenty-ono Stites thit
will hold elections next fall, the Re
publicans are ertain of only five
Thirteen are Denmocratic, or doubt
ful, with chances faroring the
Democrats.
RIEMiEDtER 'TiE dreadful days when
the whites wero disorgani-/cd, and
when the only 'hope of reform lay
through the Radical door. .How
vain was such hop, was snfliciently
proved. Can such days recur ?
SoME P'EoILE scom to argue that
because they doh't 'know a man he
will not make a competent official.
Can one swim before he goes into
the water ? Can one prove himself
comnpotuett until he is tried ? The
Democratic nominees will all make
most satisfactory public servants.
REMEMBER THAT a fillure to sup
'port the Dcmdcratic ticket will
entail disastrous results, not alone
upon the party, but .upon the per
sonal and material interests of every
citizen of the (State. Only by pro
sonting a unitoed and determined
front to ladicaliuen, can-that terrible
enemy be destroyed.
?.I
GovERaNoR HAMPTON has not yet
ordered an election to fill the vacant
offices in Fairfield. The Exocutive
Committee, through its Chairman,
recommende the '7th of August as
the date. But -Governor Hanpton
has boocn at the North ever since, and
he is no'w at-tho'Virginia Spirings, re
cuperating Uis health after a threat
oned attack 'of pneuimonia. It is
not known when he w'ill return.
THlE NEW government four per
cout,-'loan has proved an iturnenso
success. TJhe subscriptions have
- amounted 'to thirty-five millions,
five millions--more than were called
'for. The demand for these bonds
*at such a low rate of interest showvs
'that there is plenty of money in the
country, which the owners are
anxious to p'ut out provided they
.can find good security. Lset confi..
dance ho restdred and the -money
will 'be tforthcoming.
A Word to Good Citizens 'and (iood
Democrats.
'When, under the call of the Exec
utive Commnitto, e very club met to
send delegates to the County Club,
all Democrats, and more ospecially
..all who participated in the meetings,
- entered into a tacit agreement to
abidio tho action of the club. Else,
wvhero was the senso of having a
nomination ? Can it be argued that
any one wvent to a meeting and
voted, with the understanding that
his adherence to the party depended
.on the success of his particular
candidate ? That is not doing jus
tice to the other si-de. That is not
business. -Nor is it p)olitics. 'Why
did not every minority at every pro
emoint, club, on being outvoted, -have
t-he roight to withdmaw, on thocehargo
.that the meeting had been packed,
and..elect a contesting delegation ?
.And yet there was no contest. In
-certain instances the minority did
claim unfairness, but it nevertho
*bas performed its duty in abiding
the decision of the majority~however
,distasteful it may have been. Just
jority of logalj delegates, voted
for certain -candidates. And
these candidates, -after putting
their chances alongside of the
chances of others, have a right 'to
demand the hearty support of the
niinority. Had the result been
reversed the same principle would
apply. What is right for 0o, I),
right fdr the 'dthor. Tho charge
is nade that caucussing and wire
pulling were indulged in. Admit
ting this to be trihe, it'was not con
ined-to on side. -Each party had
its cnd in view, and, to secure this, "t
ad opted the customary -political
tactics. That was all.
It is but natural that the minori
'ty, or a portioh Of them, should feel
disappointinont at their failure to .H
sceure their *personal preference or I
-the adoption of vhat they deemed
the soundest policy ; the mlore so,
thlt they were honost in their con,
victions. But will they suffer -their
resentment or their llief that the
party may have blundered (in which
belief wo hold they are mistake n) to
causo them 'to lioo sight of the
grave crisis brough t upon the peo
p1 ? In their .cooler moments, we
feel assured that they will recons.idor
any stej; they nay have taken which
will disintograto the )emnocrati
party, through which, and through
which alone, they have reaped tho
inestimable benefits of good govern
mont, low taxation, and even per -
sonal liberty.
Why, to-day, does the sun seem
b righter, the air more pure, the
carth with her growing crops, more
smiling, the people more buoyant
-with hope, than at this time last
year ? Simply because the Demo. -
cratic party, under the banner of
reform, And welded solidly
together by 'the solemn pledge of 1
its members to support all the nomi
nations, fought the tight last fall,
and plucked victory in the very
teeth of overwhelming odds.
Because all the whites, with a few
ignoble exceptions, and all tho ,order
loving, honesty-loving colored peo
ple, stood shoulder to shoulder,
each individual surrendering all his
personal preferences, and even pri,
vate iuterests, to the voice of the
majority. What would havo been
the result of an "independent ticket" "
in that crisis ? Lot overy -man
pause and consider the question,
calmly, thoughtfully, seriously 1
-And has -that crisis passsa ? Has
the Democratic party such a Jenso of
p~ower .that it can .afford to fritter
away its st-renigth in dlissensFions?
W~e ask that question seriously. Will
the-suni still shine brightly over a
-wrangling .Domoeuracy ? It will not.
Wheon the Democratic party
falls,: tlm sun of Prosperity sets.-; and
another hideous night of Radi
calism will begin, ,in .wvhich fraud
and crime will stalk abroad -without
let or hindlranice, an(l the vilost
demagogues and unprincipled ~knaves
will step into office through the
Radical door. Can any one tolerate
the thought of such a future ? And
this will be the inevitable reault of
an independent ticket ! For, if this
nomination do inot stand, though
made with regttlarity and in accord
ance with the .laws of the party,
-what guarantee .is there itbiat .any
subsequent-iomination will be wor th
a farthing ? And, feeling the Demo
cratic nomination to be worthless,
and remembering also that the name
Democrat is over hateful to the
Radical er, applicants -for oflice
would court the baser cleanont8, and
intrigus -with .ignorance and bestiali
ty to scure the public pap, to the
utter ruin of the counity and State.
In that horribjo evenit, the prostrate
people will ask, not wvhy the Demo
cratio party was destroyed, but who
destroyed it--'nd the injury will
recoil on the destroyers.
We have written this artie ce~re
fully and cahnly, avoiding ajl denun
clation or .rocrimination. , but desir
Qus of reasoning, and pointing out
4hhe dangers that bestrowv our path.
We nok onr friends . to pause and
reflect while they are yet on the
brinkl of the Rubicon. .It is never
too .lato to retrace a falso step.
Yield a hearty assent to the Demo,~
cratic nomiatin.

"TinE ANsON HARDY CUTTING MAcuIN11s
Are the best. and cheapest low priced
machine made, and havo a-iUltional rc)u
Cation for utility and durability."-J'he
LIcclrpl'yper, Gihic"ayoq.
TnE ANsON InluY PAPER CUTTEn is by
far the best machine which can be ob
tained for a lees price than one hundred
dollars. It is of great strogigth. These
machines have alw ays taken the highest
stannd. I.t is the only machino to which
is applied the Patent Movable Cutting
Board. This device has a reputation of
itself: by it, the cutting board can be it
stantly and accurately mnovecl, so that a
perfect cut-is disured, This .is a very .im
portant point in the machine, and ono
that is possessed by no other. It greatly
reduces the labor of prepalration in work
ing the pa per backward and forward.
WVe can"ndt oo strongly recommend the
Advantages of this patent movable board.
It is worth the price of this mnachine, and
purchasers should fully understand how
highly it is to ho valued."--Geo. P, Howell
& o.'s Newspaper Rejmder and Printer's
GazeUe.
Tns LATEST IMPROvED HARDY CARD CUT

uses of a printing office.
'The well known RUCO.LEs CARD CUTTER,
