believe it?we can't belive it.
Fellow Democrats, it is not a light

THE 0LEATON BUGABOO.
Ii. W. M. Mnckey has published a
letter in the New York "Times," try
ingtomukc it horror out of/lie Glca
ton difUeulty which occurred on last
j Thursday.
"Pavsan" has given, in to-day's
issue, a true statement of the ease,
which is substantiated by both w hite
and colored witnesses.
It appears that the matter was en
tirely personal, and had nothing to
do with polities or race, whatever.
It is a matter that is likely to occur
at any gathering of people, aud es
pecially w here whiskey is too freely
imbibed. But it is the plan of the
Republicans to magnify and make
capital oui of everything they can.
and Mnckey has eagerly picked up
this affair to carry to the outrage
mill. Rend "1'aysan's" statement.
Fotk ov Edisto,
October 2(itb, 18S0.
KtUtOf Ortnif/i /iiirif Tina s ;
The following resolutions were
unanimously adopted at a meeting
of the Kastcrlin's .Mill Democratic
(;iub, held on the 2:td instant:
Resolved, That we, as law abid
ing ami peaceable citizens, hereby
deprecate the recent dilllculty in this
County at G teuton's Precinct, in
which one ('easar Harrison was acci
dentally shot.
Resolved, That the musses of the
Democratic party deplore the said
net. and hold themselves blameless
for its occurrence, and that they will
do all ill their power to preserve or
der throughout the county.
Resolved, That as a token of nur
sympathy in behalf of the said
('easar Harrison, wo take up a contri
bution from this (did) ami forward
the amount to him as soon as practi
cable; and we recommend other
Democratic Clubs throughout the
( 'ounty to do likewise
Resolved, That these resolutions
be published in the ('ounty papers.
hj reference to the third resolution,
a cash fund of ten dollars was raised
instanter, and Mr. X. M. Sallev. Sr..
appointed to take the amount to the
wounded man. It is proper to state,
that only twenty members of the
club were present, or no doubt a
larger amount would have been
j raised.
The facts of the dilllculty which
gave rise to the foregoing resolutions
are these: A white man who had im
bibed too freely of mean whiskey.
got<6ugnged in ?nTjft'iarnd with a iie-^l
gro during the preliminary arrange
ments between tin: Radical and Dem
oeratic leaders for a joint discussion
at Glenton's Pidl on the 21st instant.
Who the aggressor was in the quar
rel I do not Know. The white man
drew his pistol ami presented it ut
the negro, wdio gave back. Mr. Win
Held ('lark, who was close by, rushed
upon the white man, sei/.cd him
around the waist, and endeavored In
drag him out of t he crowd, when both
fell to t he ground. It was during the
struggle which followed that the pis
tad was discharged. Mr. Clark in
his efforts to wrench the pistol from
the man, hold his knuckles ground
in the dust, win ', by some means,
the pistol wns discharged, the ball
bakingell'ect in the thigh of Coiisstr
Harrison, who had nothing to <!o
with t Its fracas.
During the melee, and while Mr.
('lark hehl his man. a burly mulatto,
w ho, afterwards gave his name to the
writer as ?Jones, struck the man Mr.
(.'lark held several blows, peeling the
skin from his cheeks and inflicting
mi ugly contusion beneath one eye.
The negrow ho struck Ihosc blows was
the one who had tpi.'UTeied with the
white man. He perpetrated two
falsehoods about the a Hair before he
left the ground. No. 1 was. that he
struck tl)e white man twice w hile he
had the pistol presented nt him. He
struck him after he was seized by
Mr. Chirk. No. 2 was, thai the white
man, after he got on the ground,
raised his arm several feet in it hori
zontal position, ami lired. The pis
tol was discharged while the knock
les of the man who held it were
ground in the dust.
These facts can be established by
Messrs. Wiuiichl ('lark, G. Lawrence
Sallev, Aleck S. Fastetlin, and as
many colored witnesses. I'aysas.
THi: DUTY OF Till: HOUR.
A Stirring Address from the State
Democratic Committee.
To the Democratic Voters of the Slu'c.
The few days which intervene lie
I tween this ami the 2d of November
I may be decisive of the election, Na
tional, State, and local; and in view
of the importance of the issues in
volved, and the absolute need of sue
I CCsS, the Stale Fxeciitive ('oinuiit tee
1 appeal" to the Democratic Clubs and
voters throughout the Stute for uni
ted und vigorous action.
The failure of ll e Rcpublcun party
to openly nominate a State ticket hau
lulled our people into a Sense of se
curity, ami has inspired the belief
that there is no real contest, no Heed
of work, and that success will come
as it came ir 1878. Nothing could
be more del < or destructive. Apa
thy now is ?'i.ml, and supineucss will
only pave the way to defeat.
There is a contest before us not i
only for the Electoral, but for the
State ticket. We feel 'authorized,
from the information we have, to say
to you that the Republican party
will present an unbroken fron I <m
election day in support of the Green
back ticket, and coalescing with that
small faction of the people, will strive
under their banners to win a Repub
lican victory. The instruct ions ha ve
been already given, the orders issii
ed, the combination of forces arrang
I'd, and the bargain struck, which
unites the Greenback party with the
Republican lor the defeat through
out the State of the Democratic Elec
toral, Slat" and local ticket.
The remembrance of that dark per.
ioil from 18(18 to lS7(i is too vivid for
you to tolerate the thought of again
passing uu '.or Republican rule. We
have realized the blessiiigs of Demo
oratio Government. The reforms
which have come . '-e not imaginary,
nor are they mere party cries for
political effect. They are real and
substantial, visible to the whole
world, felt and recognized in busi
ness circles everywhere, and admit
ted by even the most bitter and hos
tile of Republican journals. 1 eacc
throughout the State: the absence of
all race collisions: the equal and just
administration id' the laws: security
to life and property; the reduction of
taxation and expense s, and a mark
ed and general increase in material
prosperity, are the fruits of Demo
eratie rule, and the results of the
overthrow uf Republican domination.
To us the success of the Republi
can and the overthrow of the Demo-j
eratie uovertnnent means far more
than an ordinary change of political
rulers. It means the destruction of
every material interest, the paralysis
of all industries. It moans the re
turn to power of ignorance and cor
^ tipliuii,- a ^?o??eim^?w>i:t i\nsii,y.ance
ami wasteful and shameless expendi
ture, and increase of Slate debt and
taxation. !l means a venal Legisla
ture, a corrupt .Judiciary and an
Executive powerless to enforce the
laws. It means a daily recurring
strife of races and a constant sense
of insecurity and danger. Under t hat
yoke we cannot and will iu>! again
pass.
The bitter lessons of the past will
be lost unless they teach us that it is
only in t In- unity and energy of the
Democratic party that the hope of
safety lies. Ry these means we won
i:i the great struggle of 187(?. Ry
these, and these alone, can we win
now. The intense enthusiasm ofthal
campaign called out every voter. The
full strength of the Democratic parly
i ?; neei led now. ("In that, and that
alone, can we rely. No party ma
chinery nor political management'
no seen t counsels nor subtile con
trivances, can avail. To rely on
these is to trust to a broken reed.
The race f* to the swift and the bat
tie to the strong; and victory on the
2d November will range itself on the
'side of the heavies! battalions. It is
for you and us to see to it that the
heaviest battalions march under the
I >etnocrat ic Hag
The one paramount duty of those
w ho hop.- to preserve the civilization
they have inherited, and the pros
perity they enjoy, is to be active and
earnest; for every man to work as if
success or defeat rested on his in
j dividual effort, and Mot to rest from
1 his labors, until the last man has been
i brought out and the las' ballot poll
ed.
Upon tllOSC who have been clothed
with pow< r as executive of liecrs in the
counties, or chosen by the people as
their standard bearers in the contest'
will rest a hca\y responsibility. To
tin in tlu ir fellow-citizens look for
guidance and example. With them
is the real an I active management of
tho campaign. The Stale committee
can only exercise a general super
vision and direction. The struggle
iu each county must be under the
leader .hip of the local Executive
Committee, und success in the conn
t ies means \ ietory in the State.
The lines are drawn and the issue
joined. Those who are not with us
are against ns. There is now iieith
' t,-r loom urn- place for Independents
?-?I-. } *' L ?' . . . . ? . . ! - .
or third parties of any kind. No n at
ter under what Hug they serve or
what battle cry they utter, their vote
is against us if if is not with us.
Cousciously or unconsciously, they
are working for our defeat.
There may be among good men,
candidates and the friends of candi
dates, a keen sense of personal wrong
and political injustice, dust claims
may have been ignored, and faithful
set vices forgotten. These are inci
dents inseparable from political life
and contests; but the remedy is not
in lukewarmness; not in resistance
to the popular will; not, above all, in
alliance with enemies to defeat
friends. The State may be safely
trusted sooner or latter to do justice
to all her sons, but it is equally sure
and certain that the just and weighty
judgment of the Stale will fall upon
those who in the hour of peril, forget
ting their duty, remember only their
personal wrongs, or prefer their per
sonal ambition to the public good. If
there be any such, wo appeal to them
in the most earnest and friendly
spirit, as they value their own good
name, their hopes of usefulness in t he
future, the respect of their fellow
citizens, or the peace and prosperity
of the State, to rise above all thoughts
of self and unite heartily and zeal
ously with their Democratic friends
and comrades in a common etfort to
save us from the danger and degrada
tion of Republican rule.
