These charges were made direct to the face of our governor and he dared not resent it. nor attempt to disprove it., for he knew it was so. We learn that O not only in Charleston, but in all the large cities of the Stale, this same state of things exut. Yet this is our "noble" governor, who lxissesses the "lieaitofa patriot," who pretends to be a staunch fiiend of tbe dispensary?but iu fact has " 5 proven equally as strong a friend to the .

We simply J refer you to his recoid as a soldiet, as a * citizen and as a Christian, and there is ? not one charge to be brought against him in public ox private life.

Few indeed there he of whom this can be said. Ynw 1A mw A , \, uuvy icnuu' men: My r position on the absorbing topic, liquor, has beep clearly dt lined to you re|ie?tcdly, both on the etuuip and in print. Von 1 know that I favor alwolute prohibition i for beverage purposes, but much pr? foi i the dispensary to "tigers." Many of yen favor the dispei 8iry if the laws regarding the dispensary were enforced. Now let me ap|>eal to your good judgment, and then leave the matter with ' yon and your God. With these faots lxfore you regarding ( the past administration of Governor Mc( Sweeney?his utter disregard for the disjtensauy law, iu allowing "tigeis" to prow and get fat all over the State, on 1 our innocent lambs?our lioys. Seeing I from these facts that Governor Mci Sweeney has not been the friend of t lie _ . dispensary that he claims, in the fact that he has shown himself to lie a gi eater y ) friend to "tigers," Can you as a prohi- \ > bitionist, as a dispensnryite, as a law \ abiding citizen, as a Christian support ' t such a man? May you ponder these things well, and liet'oie going lothe polls I cairy it to the Lord for advice. It is not reasonable to expect Governor McSweeney to tighten the veins of his an- ~ ' thoiity on these "tigeis" if elected; for , it would lxi of the Utsest ingratitude in , him to do so after they had put him in + ; gain?this we would not dare think he I would do; but, on the other hand, if w<* ^ 5 will, as g-Kxl citizens, put our shoulders > to tin wheel and elect the man who will t have the law enforced?the law being made by the Legislature?if we will elect ? .
