A CHEEKING BEGINNING! UNION ANI> IIA It 31 ON Y THE WATCHWORDS! The Court House Demoerntie Club met in the Engine Hall on Tuesday night in unusually' large numbers. Tho prompt and full attendance of our citizens at this first meeting of the Campaign speaks well for the party, and is a Source of great en couragement. President Moseley being absent from sickness, upon motion, Gen. Izlnr was called to the chair. The call of the County chairman being read the meeting was declared ready for business. ?

A HIGH OLD TIME. The Rads liiet in Columbia on Wednesday, and, after the usual lur moil and bluster sent delegates to Chicago to vote for (?laut. Speeches were made denouncing white Radi cals, and Corbin w as snubbed. There is a strong disposition to draw the color lim- strictly. I tile camden journal and gen. gar?. The editor of the Camden Journal works himself up into au alarming state of excitement because we said that we regard the sentiments of Gen. Gary as entirely inconsistent with true Democracy, and calls upon us to explain quickly what we mean. It is with much pleasure that we hasten to relieve the anxiety of the Journal. Instead of the Orangeburg 'Pi.mi:s ''budding and blossoming too fust, for spring," we Tear that the ''straightoutism" of the Journal bus risen so high that it has forgotten the platform of the party. We would advise you brother to look at the chart, and lake your reckoning once more before you wander oil'too far into strange seas. An examination of the Democratic platform ami of the speeches of Sena tor Hampton recognizing the politi cal rights ofthc colored man and in viting him to a participation in the buttle for good government, and n comparison of the same with the utterances of Gen. Gary, would prob ably develop the inconsistency of which we speak, and show the editor of the Journal at least, "something new under the sun." 1 As we. have often said, we admire much in Gen. Gary. We like his boldness and independence. He is (dear-headed and brilliant. As a legislator he has almost invariably been found on the right side, and hi' has had the honesty and manhood, unlike many others, not to he afraid of being found inn minority. For nil these things we like him, hut if his sentiments and utterances are correctly reported, they are at variance with the Democratic plat form, both Stale and National, and therefore inconsistent with true Democracy. If we have been incor rectly informed we stand ready to be corrected. We stand by the Democratie plat form and the promises of Governor Hampton, and it is our duty to prove to the colored people that we arc sin core, no mattor how they may act. trTrawcAl (onTkntiox. a Noisy drew. The Radical Convention which was advertised in the''Southern Doom' met at the colored engine house in our Rurgon Saturday. The meeting was called to order by County ( hair man Duncan, although it was a very short time that iL was kepi in order. The Secretary J. L. Williams of St. Matthews having completed the roll of delegates, it was announced by the chairman that the Convention was organized und ready for busi ness. The permanent organization was then effected by the election of the same ofllecrs. It was then an nounced by the chairman Hint :i con test existed between the following delegates from Orangeburg claiming seats in the Convention : K. A. Webster, .lohn Thompson, I). A. Strakcr. II. Anderson, C. Flem ing, and I). J. Amaker. A Committee of 11 was appointed to investigate the matter and report who were en titled to scuts among the worthier 11 was then mo\ cd that t he < 'om inittcc be confined to 2<t minutes in which to make their report. The Committee went out, and. instead of staying only 20 minutes, did not re turn for over an hour, to report a compromise allowing each of the contesting delegates a half vote. This report being made, the entertain ment commenced in earnest as soon as the announcement was made that the Convention was prepared to hear nominations for delegates to go to Columbia, livery body wanted to make n little speech in putting up his nominee, but nobody wanted to listen. In the midst of the bedlam that ha I broken loose we caught the following names of nominees : Christian Caldwell, S. L. Duncan, I). A. Shaker, K. A. W< bster, J. II. Livingston, Kllis Forrest, R. L. Arthur, II. II. IIaynes and F, Simp son. Then came t he side shows on the motion to close the nominations. A saddle colored delegate from Lewi: vi lie could be heard above the din and confusion insisting that his sec tion had been ignored. Delegates were mounted on the bucks of benches or on every elevation that could be found haranguing the little groups around them. In the menu' time the chairman was making him self hoarse trying to restore order, but to little purpose. The command was repeatedly given to ''squat," but there was no permanent ''squatting.'' In the midst of the wildest confusion, which lasted about an hour and a half, the election was held, and after the smoke of battle had cleared away it was developed that the fol lowing were elected the delegates to | go to (Columbia : S. L. Duncan, I). A. St raker, R. A. Webster, J. II. Livingston and Rev. E. A. Arthur. A spirited contest was kept up a long time between the last delegate and Christian Caldwell, which result ed, as is shown, by Christian being left out in the cold. This was a rather hard blow upon St. Matthews, which" thus received no representation. After a resolution by I>. A. Straker instructing the delegates to vote for ('raid delegates lo go to the National Republican Convention, the Conven tion adjourned. Webster of New England and St raker of Bermuda seemed to be the ruling spirits. The same old hacks came up on the surface, the names being almost identically the same that go to Columbia in every cam paign. We wonder if the eyes of the colored people who work in the corn and cotton fields will ever be opt lie I t<> this fad. Will they ever sec that the Republican party, as it stands in Orangcburg County, is nothing else but a machine to run certain old hacks into office? A GOOD BEGINNING. One cannot fail to be ph ased with the enthusiastic and harmonious opening of thi' Democrat ie campaign. The club meltings have been hum '> attended, and so far as we know, everything has been done with satis faction and harmony. Co mi bleth ers as you have commenced, and you limy look for victory. The prospect is bright with such a spirit. A TRAGEDY I NET HE ASYLUM. On Monday morning a lunatic named Hiram Kelly killed one of his room mates named Callabacker, by crushing in his head with a metal basin. Kelly had been in the Asy luinjj^iuniljej^of years aJfl^ftfc'fc, er done any harm. Callabacker was a ('reck who had been sent to the Asylum from Charleston about three weeks ago. There were several sleeping in the same room oil the night of the tragedy, but none could give any reliable account of the kill ing. It seems strange ami cruel that lunatics would be allowed to occupy the same room together. A heti.T arrangement ought eeiiainly b> be made. HOMICIDE IN SAN FRANCISCO. One day last week young Kallach. the son of Mayor Kalloeh, of San Francisco, stepped into the office of the paper edited by the DeYoungs, and commenced firing upon Charles DcYoung. DoYoung fell back into the rear of the office, and as he raised his pistol to return the fire, the ball of Kalloeh's pistol entered his mouth and his own pistol fell from his jgr-tsp, death ensuing in a few inn mints. Kalloeh has been arrested and tommitted to jail. A pamphlet selling forth the blacl. history <>i Mayor Kalloeh. the father of the slaver, was the cause of t he homicide. THE DEMOCRATS MOVING.
