From The Charleston Ne,0s.
The COMING Party.


cure the defeat of tho Radical officials
in the approaching canvass, must COM
mand the support of the press and the
sympathy of the people Of tho State.
1t was not expected that our State
contemporaries would eargcrly declare:
in SO many words, their approval of
tho whole platform of tho coming
party, as laid down by this paper
But without saying that they were
ready to stand shoulder to shoulder
with the Ne,os in the impending strife,
our cotemporaries have, iu their own
way, assured the people that there is
only one way to success, and that way
/ is the adoption Of broad, liberal and
comprehensive policy, uniting the
honest of all classes and parties in u
common hostility to official and per.
sonal corruption. This is all that wo
ask-this is all that the News de-
nlands.. We insist upon full and
frank recognition of the civil and po!
litical rights of the negro we insist
upon submission to tho inevitable
necessities of tho political situation.
And we propose to 60 before the
whole people, white and colored, as
tho party of honest government and
equal rights-as the friends of low
taxation--as the friends of the work
ingman-as the supporters and advo-
oates of industrial activity-as the
persistent opponents of monopoly and
class legislation--as party pledged
to represent faithfully and equally
the wants, rights and necessities of
all classos and all conditions Of men.
This is the platform of the Ne,Os, and
we have yet to meet with one State
press which refuses to agree to these
propositions, or which has failed, in
one way or another, to enumerate and
defend them.
Upon one subject there is, however,
much difference of opinion. It seems
to be the conviction that it would be
unwise to call the State party of the
future the Democratic party, and that
it would be best to style it simply
People's'party or Opposition party
anything but a Radical party. Now
for IN ere names, in this matter Of re-
deeming the State, we do not care
jot. The principles, and not the name
of the party the temper of the weap-
on, not the mark of the maker; will
give us victory or defeat. Upon the
| platform laid down in these columns
all good and true men should be able
to stand. And if any of our people,
white or colored, are repcllcd by an
old party name 1T is hi Oh time to choose
anew name ,uhich shall haze no pact
| The truth is, we cannot afford to lose
votes for the sake of fabstract,ideas -.
This contest with dishonest govern,
ment and corrupt officials, is busi~
ness question: questioRtof bread and
meat of life and death. And
we must conduct the canvass in q
practical and business-like manner
Having chosen broad liberal poll
cy, we must use our Weapons as best
We may, turning to good account all
the power and, strength, shat justice
and fair dealing shall give US. 4
