The Radical Nominations.

vention will stand but poor chance if it
does contrive to meet, and, without strain
ing point, it may be taken for granted that
the ticket of the Hurley convention is the
one upon which the fight will be made, and
the one which the Union Reformers have to
beat. The ticket is as follows:
FOE JUDGE Or PROBATE.
George Buist.
FOR STATE SENATOR.
W. H. IIishaw, colored

P. P. Hedges, cold, Edward Mickey, cold,
T. Hurley, o. r. Levy,

FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
N. Mclaughlin, F. c. Miller, R. NJ. Greg
ory, colored.
FOR SCHOOL COMMISSIONER.
Arthur NJ Mackey.
Out of the twenty-four candidates for Office
only eight are white n1en-out OF the nine
teen candidates for the General Assembly
fifteen are colored men. Nor is this the
worst of it. A colored man is not, because
of his color, an unit representative OF the
citizens of Charleston County. But the
same test must be applied to whites and
blacks In the mind OF an intelligent voter,
the darkness of the skin does not, and can
not, make up for the lack OF moderate intel
ligence aud scrupulous honesty. For this
plain reason, the colored men upon the Scott
Ring ticket are unworthy to be the spokes-
men, the champions and the lawmakers OF
the people of Charleston County. They have
not the qualities which make them tit guar
dams OF the interests OF eighty thousand
men, women and children, poSsessors OF
property valued at forty million dollars.
Bosemon is, for all that we know, an upright
man, but what OF the remaining fourteen
Are they all of the same stamp as Aaron Lo-
gan, whose lawless behavior and outrage
Gus misconduct are only too notorious
Than this man Logan, there is no more un-
scrupulous demagogue in all South Caro-
lima OF the white quintette there is little to
be said. Oae of the five is well known to
the people. But what can possibly be writ
ten in favor Of legislative ticket whose re-
preventative colored man is-Aaron Logan,
and whose representative white man is
Timothy Hurley. The nomination for Pro-
bate Judge is wise and proper one, and
WILL We presume, be satisfactory to all par
ties. Mclaughlin and Miller are now in
Office as County Commissioners. Their ad-
ministration of the monies of the county will
be expcseds The candidate for School Com
missioner, whatever his other qualifications,
is very young man 10 hold position so
important
This, US we said before, is the ticket which
the Union Reformers have to beat. No one
pretends that this is light undertaking, but
there is no such word as Impossible! in the
Reform dictionary, and ii the. people organ
ize thoroughly, aud work hard, We can car
rY the county by satisfactory majority.
Already the coiored men on the islands and
in the parishes are swarming over to the Re
forr' party of Honesty and Equal Rights.
c .rlestou Cityis safe beyond peratlventure,
{ every nerve must BE strained to roll up
:. vote in the city, which, with the minority
in the country, will give the Reformers the
election. Every additional vote won within
the city limits is vote towards overcoming
the expected majority in the country dis
tricts.
We must now buckle on our armor in ear
nest Itis only five weeks to election day,
and every hour OF the time which remains
must be prohtably employed if the Reform
ers intend-to win. We have already Reform
clubs in every ward OF the CITY, but the Or
ganizauon in the parishes is not as complete
as it should be. Both city and county re-
uuire to he enlivened and invigorated, and it
appears to US that the best way to begin the
hard wor,, of the campaign is by putting in
the field the nominees Of the Union Reform
party. The Radical ticket is as weak as
