The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1868-11-03

TO-DAY closes the political contest which
for many anxious months has agitated the
country. The American people are to-day
to decide whether the Republican party,
which has wrought so much of mischief to
the land, is to be hurled from the command
ing position which it has SO long held to the
detriment of the nation, or granted new
lease Of power and influence for good and
evil. From the decision, whatever it may
be, there will be no appeal. In any event,
let US hope that we hive reached the termi-
nation of the long season of political tur-
moil and unrest; and that, freed at last
from the excitement and uncertainties Of
the canvass-always so disastrous in their
effects upon the operations Of trade-the
country, North and South, may now ad-
vance once more in its career of greatness
and prosperity.
The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1868-11-03

whites, many of whom we're once United States
soldiers, did not pursue, but quietly followed
their own route Of march. An examination OF
the field exhibited on Canal and Basin streets
six dead negroes, all well armed and equipped
with ammunition, and uniforms, and each orna-
mented IN with Grant and Colfax medals, tied
on their collars with blue ribbons. In the
light of the moon, and the aickering yellow
flames of light glaring from many torches,
this strange and weird scene Of horror, bloody
garments, awe-stricken citizens and crowd OF
beholders, made tableau, the like of. which is
seldom seen in ones most eventful lifetime. A
company of United States cavalry was placed
on patrol duty, and their presence on the
streets quickly caused the utmost quiet to
reign. After one o'clock this morning the city
was as quiet as if nothing Of q sanguinary
character had ever occurred. During the me-
lee not negro policeman could be found on
the streets, and many Of the obnoxious metro
politans also hid away from the danger their
presence would have created. The white
scoundrels who had duped and led the negroes
into these excesses and outrages were not Wis
ible. They are of the cowardly race that bat
tens on the fruits of other mems hard labor.

What will He Do with Its

A correspondent suggests that the Con-
vention of citizens which meets tonight
may be embarrassed in its deliberations BY
the doubt whether the gentleman whom it
may be desired to nominate for Mayor will
consent to serve.
We do not think that this doubt should be
allowed to have any weight with the Con-
vention. The Mayor occupies an onerous
and, to some extent, thankless positions;
but at such q crisis, when Charleston itself
is at stake, we do not believe that any cItl-
zen will desire to reject, for personal
reason, q nomination which is the express
sion of the wishes of his anxious fellow
citizens. Upon the standing and character
of the nominee our success greatly depends,
and few men will care to rob our people of
the only means left them of saving the city
from the grip of the reckless adventurer.
The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1868-11-03
The Interest of the colored People.

In the municipal elections there is no
division of interest between the white man
and the colored man. Those elections will
decide, not whether the coored man shall
always be free and always enjoy the right
of voting, but whether Charleston shall
have wise and economical municipal ad.
ministration under which all classes Of peo-
pie may prosper and thrive. This is o
question III which the colored draymen and
colored laborers have the deepest interest,
and they can soon be made to understand
that their lot will be determined by the fate
of the respectable and hard-working white
citizens amongst whom they live.
We cannot make Charleston great city
without capital. Money is wanted by the
million of dollars to enable US to command
trade and support our railroads and steam
ship lines. If we do not obtain foreign
capital, what is to become of the tens OF
thousands of bales of cotton which are e1-
pected to pour down upon us, giving the
draymen and longshoremen more work than
they can do. Without money we are moth
ing. And how can it be expected that
Northern men and Europeans will send
their money here if Charleston is ruled by
a horde of adveuturers about whom the less
said the better. If PIlLsBURY and Com
pany be elected Mayor and Aldermen of
Charleston, goodbye to the colored dray-
men and longshoremen. They will have no
work. Their drays will rot. Their horses
will starve. At home tn cir families will be
pinched by want and famine.
This will be the inevitable result Of the
success of PILLsDURY. II will draw sharp
dividing line between the two races, and as
it teaches the white man that the colored
man has proved himself the enemy Of
Charleston, SO will he receive but small
favors from those whom he has injured.
The white people are now the friends OF
the colored man; but if the colored man
votes for PILLsBuRY when he might vote for
@ respectable and responsible Charlesto'
nian, they will be his friends no more.
The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1868-11-03
The Nominating Convention.

The gravity and responsibility of the
duty to be performed by the Nominating
Convention of citizens which meets tonight,
are increased by the fact that week ago q
large number of influential men held the
opinion that the only choice left the white
reople of Charleston in the municipal can
vass was between PILLsBURY and CLARK.
Many have since been convinced that it was
simply impossible to elect Mr.. CLARK, on
account of his weakness with the colored
people and his unpopularity with the white
citizens; but others still cling to the idea
that CLARK is the only chance Of safety,
and that any other nomination for Mayor
would be ruinous in the extreme.
The minority, who cherish the delusion
that CLARK could poll even one thousand
white votes, must be convipced Of their
error. The converted majority, who know
that candidates representing the mass Of
eur citizens are now our only hope, need
confirming in their faith. Both ends can
be gained if the Convention acts with the
calmness, prudence and unsel6shness which
are expected of body to which are conided
the most precious interests of this dear old
city.
We believe that the Convention will enter
upon the momentous task with full sense
of its weight, and proper appreciation of
the sad consequences of looking to individ-
ual gain rather than to the common good.
The delegates know that their nominees
should be men of character and position,
men who are trusted and respected, men
who have the capacity and desire to govern
our city in the interest Of our whole people.
