Nulli6ers and Union men, as holding a
common creed in all essential particulars.
rallied the dismembered party of 1927.
They enlistedunde the banner of their old
doctrines, 10 do battle for the Consti-
tuition and their country. None, among all
parties, yielded more prompt and'eficient
service in that cause, than the Hon. J. P.
RICHARDSON.
While he was our Representative in
Congress, his peculiar position and his
good sense and address enabled him to
render important services.
1t behooves the rallied party of 1927
the members of the present Democratic
State Rights and Independent Treasury
Party Of s. Carolina, to endeavor to heal
all divisions and to unite every man, of all
parties firmly in support of those great and
general principles which they profess to
cherish. A fair and proper occasion is now
presented. The old Notification & Union
Parties Of this State are not yet in perfect
amalgamation. 1t is desirable and impor-
tant that they should be so-and to
effect this, candidate has been nomina-
ted from the ranks Of the minority.
1t should be borne in mind that the com
promise q reconciliation of the conf; e
parties were effected as long 81! rs
1884, and 10 this time no office OF .gh
honor or emolument has been confer
red by the Legislature on any member
of the former Union Party. The pre-
sent gives fair opportunity of testing
whether the reconciliation has been honest
and sincere, or "a hollow deception amusing
with promises which are never intended
to be performed. The fate of Col. RICH.
ARDsoN's election will prove, whether con-
hdeuce in each other, the source Of all par
ty strength, shall stand as bond of union
and power, or be made to yield to the con-
viction in the minority, that the majority
intend,ic possible, to debar them from a
participation in the honors of the State.
A candidate is presented to the choice
of the State, whose undoubted quali6ca-
tions and peculiar position at present rem
der him most fit to elicit its confidence
and procure its suffrage.
Col. RICHARDSON, in his federal politics,
is with the State, and sound to the CORE
He is identified with the great Southern
Anti-Bank and Independent Treasury par
ty, and holds the doctrines of the old
State Rights party of 1927. Through him
we would promote a reconciliation be-
tween the former Notification and Union
parties Through him we proffer to the
present Democratic State Rights and In
dependent Treasury party Of this State,
union and strength union and strength
which IS now of the greatest moment,
that we may present an unbroken front
to the dangerous principles Of the parties
now at war with the administration, and
whose allied forces are struggling to seize
the reigns Of the government.
Therefore, be it ?
Resolped. That we, the citizens of Ker.
shaw District, without distinction of for
mer parties--but as democratic State Rights
and Independent-Treasury men, do hereby
recommend our fellow citizen, the Hon.
J. p. RICHARDSON, Of Sumter District,
for the next Governor Of this State.
2. Resolyed, That in sustaining this no.
mination, we are not only actuated by n
proper regard for the qualifications, and
services of Col. RICHARDSON, but sim
tere desire to obliterate the recollection
of all past .feuds and tifferences-to pre-
serve harmony, strength and union in the
councils OF the State to meet all future
emergencies of wrong and danger.
