An Inde pendent movement has been inaugurat ed? %B>Tudep*nd^^ ticket has been nominated, and for its success io the impending election a coalition has been I S??Ve^fefcd' Between the Republican party and the deserters from the ranks of the Decaocracy. A Vmatl gathering' of citizens catling ^beasejves StrarghtoUt1 Democrats, representing at best only a defeated minority of a defeated r?ority of the V" "Democrats of the State, have held a 'conference in Columbia, in defiance of the regularly constituted authorities of our party, have set at naught the action of the regular Democratic conventions held ml August and September, hare proclaimed war against our D?mocratie . ...... jeader? and_ nominees, and, to lead .Aem?~ro tljis- internecine strife, they have nominated a fall State ticket, with Judge?. Haskell at its head, as their no m?nee for 'Governor. &X tbt8:*?i?8ren their part, in op position t^'?he"actif?? of an overwhelm ing^^jority of tie Democrats of South Carolina,they h eve read themselves oafr. of th? ranks of the Democracy. By .oatfing upon ice the negro voters ,, ? to aS2 ; them in their fratricidal war ' aga1ast"tHeir whi fe: brethren, they have declared the mselves ready to join hands with tbe bla.ck man in pulling down and destroying the white man's govern ment, ana^ ready and willing to see Soo^ Carolina again ander the heel of the alientyrant and taeignorani negro. <\.V*"^hey-J?e? a few of them,, men,of "..

J. L. M. Irby, Chairman. Wilie Jones, Secretary protein. It is understood that the object of these simultaneous meetings is to make u demonstration in force- which will dis* courage the Haskell supporters. It is an original idea in our State politics. Capt Tillman and several of his friends . left the ci'.y this afternoon. Others of the party remain over to-night. -iGrovern?r Richardson was to-day watted on by Col. Irby, who presented to him the following resolutions adopted by the campaign committee to-day ; * Whereas, the Democratic party of South Carolina did* in convention assembled, on the 10th day of Septem ber, 1890, make its nomination of State officers :.and 1 Whereas, an Independent movement ;feas been inaugurated for the purpose of defeating the nominees of said Demo cratic party; and , Whereas, at a conference of the sup porters of said Independent movement held in Columbia on the 9th day of October, 1890, nominations for State officers were made in opposition to the nominees of the Democratic party ; and .Whereas^ it appears that certain parties, heretofore appoioted by bis Excellency Governor Richardson as commissioners of ?lection, have takeb^ part in faid conference, and are sup porters of said Independent movement ; and Whereas, it is of vital importance to the Democratic party and essential to the preservation of white supremacy in this State that the commissioners of election should be Democratic; there fore be it Resolved, By the campaign commit tee of the Democratic party, iu view of this unforeseen emergency and grave , crisis, that relying upon Governor Richardson's fidelity to the Democratic party and his well-known advocacy of white supremacy in South Carolina, bis .Excellency be respectfully and earnestly requested to remove such commissioners of election as shall be shown to him to be in sympathy with said Independent movement, and to appoint . Democrats in their stead. the govekxor*s reply. Col. Irby ,reported to the committee -: that the Governor had received bim courteously, and had stated that should any"of the commissioners of election resign, a place on each board from which the resignation was wade should be given to the Tillmanitea.' :-~ Ii is.otherwise ascertained that the Governor informed Col. Irby that the appointments had not been made for the purpose of secaring unfair advantage to any party or faction, but to esure a fair election and.honest count.. It may be. regarded as settled .that the Governor will not.remove any. appointee except for just cause shown to htm. ?II f - The ijnalitj of the tlood depends much upon good or.bad digestion and assimilatioo.
