'The withdrawal of the "Citizens'
'Ticket" by its originators ehould
Iot have the effect of lValing the
Democracy into inaction. Thore is
'o telling whet the Radicals are
going to do. They had organized
in mot of the townships some time
back, and we are informed that
that organization is still intact,.
We must meet organization with
superior organization. We must
overcome the Radical party in this
county. The idea of defeat should
never enter any Democrat's mind.
We must go on, with a dotermuina
tion to win. And we must not stop
till we have fought the fight and
won the victory.
Official Circular.
General Bratton has issued the
following circular tp the township i
clubs:
FARMINoTON, August 22, 1877.
Mr. President of Demo
cratic Club Township No ----;
Sir: I have just learned that the
election of Clerk of Court and
County Commissioners is ordered to
be held on the 4th tf September
next.
It affords me pleasure at the same
time to announce to you that our
friends, the originators of the "Citi
zens' Ticket," have subordinated
their preferences for candidates and
their views ot policy to consideration
for the great principles which we all
desire and strive to promote, and
have withdrawn their ticket. It is
hoped that the same patriotic con
sideration will enable them to over
come all of the irritations of the late
contentions, and "fall in" in their
old places in our ranks, %Ybere all
chafings will be quickly healed and
soothed by the warm welcome which
they should, and will, receive.
What our opponents, the Radi
cals, -.ill do under the circumstances
remains to be seen.
You are urged to maintain your
attitude of vigilance, and i-eadiness
to meet any action, however bold, or
any design, however insidious, that
they may develope.
Prompt report of any movement
on the pert of the opposition, or
indication of their plans, shonld be
mnada,
JNO. BRATTON,
County Chairman.
Look Out,
The Radical. have a meeting in
Winnsboro to-day. They expect to
make a nominatian for Clerk of
Court. Their programme is to
nominate somie one, white or black,
and eleot him whether he gives bond
or not, so that the Democrats will
be defeated and a new election will
be necessary, giving an opportunity
for new comabinatiorn.. They claim
that they will have people to "watch
the count," and then they will pour
in a solid column against the Demo-.
erat. 'Their impudence in assailing
the integrity of the m3anagers of
elections, and la threatening to
thrash the Denaoerats should be
punk1shed by the most overwhelming
defeat at the polls. Every man in
Fairdeld who abhors fladicalism
should place himself on She record
by turning out on the 4th
of September, and not merely
by mioting, but by working
~eergeti.aly and enthusiasti
.cally for the Lemocrmaji ticket.
Ele@th Dl emoiccratie tickcet by a
sweep-lng etote this time, and Radi
.ealism, whether in its true colors or
ibehind asnaek, will be. dead ini old
T"airfield.
We knew thet whomever Ilhe issue
becamne miarely joined between
'Democracy and lRadicalsim, the
go6d people of our brave old county
motdd be found burying personal
*notjve, '.d maying themselves
siolidly on the' side of 4ght. But
e thing is -no. pied. . Tu.
>mt en muasse, and reaffirm your allo -
ianco to the Democracy at the
yolls. Remember the color line and
he political lino drawn by the Radi
!als in the fence elections, and crush
>ut Radicalism, once moro.for all, on
ho 4th of September.
A Word of Warning.
Judging from the tenor of tihe
notice posted at Simpson's, and:
from the fact that tho negroes,
under the lead of Joo Thompson,
the newly chosenl Radical comity
bhairman, held a meeting there to
protest against the clmnge in the
fence law, it is fair to .'prestinie that
there ii some exeitement over the
matter. The notict has something
about "dying on the battle-fiold."
Now, whether the negroes in Nin,
ber Nine really intend to fight over
the funce law, we cannot say. To
uie it makes but little differenee.
We have no idea that they would do
so suicidal a thing as to bring on a
conflict with the whites-and if they
are foolish enough to light ziomig
themselves, why, in the name of
senso, let them fight it out ! IIut
the posting of such a notice, follow
ed as it was by a meeting headed
by the llepublit-an county chairman,
Was a -ery foolish thing. The
troubles in 1870-71 were largely due
to just such talk as this, on tihe part
of negro politicians and Imilitiamn.
Thuy fiequently thr(atcned to kill
off the wllites. "from the cradIle to
the grave." They did, more than
once, fire into houses occupied byv
helpless women and children. Such
acts were but the natural result of
their wild talk. Now, we in South
Carolina have had quito enough of
this sort of thing. We all want
peace, and that peace shall not be
broken by the talk or the threats of
malicious ngro politicians. In cse
of trouble, the leaders n.u;t be held
responsible. If Joe Thompson, as
the recognized head of the negroes
in the County, went to Simpson'
actuated by any vuch spirit of
hostility to the wh-ites as is in.
dicated in the notice alluded to. he
is quite as much to blame as the
man who wrote it and postel it. In
leading or eviie encourag,ing the
meeting, he was doing something
mn1culated to stir ill-feeling between
the races. In case of any trouble,
as a result of such ill feeling, he
must expect to be held to a rigid
Recountability. He has g'reatin
finance over his colore,l brethren,
and ho is hound to use it on the
side of right. If he use it other
wise, and trouble ensue, lhe must
cxpect to bear the responlsib)ility.
