The rorpor i'm Charleston.

There is only one spot in South Carolina
where the condition OF the Reform canvass
is really unsatisfactory, and that is the City
of Charleston-where the Reform movement
originated, where the first mass meeting was
held, where decisive defeat is tantamount
to the defeat of the State.
The organization of the city was promptly
effected, and in every ward there is an elli-
cient Reform Club. these clubs, however,
were chiefly organized by the mechanics and
workingmen, who, with the colored people,
have been, from the first, their only regular
attendants. The large eproperty-holders and
the big taxpayers have, with few exceptions,
Stunned the ward meetings as though they
were pesl-houses. 1t has even been difficult
to find capable speakers who would take the
trouble to explain to their fellow-citiZens the
principles and practice Of Reform. When
the time came for the appointment OF impor-
tant committees, the wealthy were too poor,
and the unoccupied were too busy TO give
the party their assistance. They were will
ing enough that the mechanic should lose
days pay in canvassing his ward or making
arrangements for q meeting. But they were
not ready to put their own shoulders to the
wheel. They were willing to be saved from
the .uinous RUE of the Ring. But they were
not ready to do their own share of the work.
This state CT things has lasted so long that
the practical Reformers are disguised, if not
disheartened, and they do not hesitate to
express, in plain English, their opinion of
men who seriously intend to vote the Reform
ticket, and yel, 10y their supineneSs or worse,
do their best to have that ticket defeated.
There are only two ways in which to ac-
count for the lukewarmness, or downright in-
difference, which the Charleston property
holders, as class, display. Either they
deem Reform unnecessary, or they think
that the fight can be won without their aid.
The former hypothesis will hardly bear dis
cussion. A merchant or broker who seri-
ously thinks that he is as well off with State
liability of Sl4, 4,OO0, 900 as with debt of
SG,OOO 600, or who believes that high taxes
are better for the taxpayer than low taxes,
must be one of the happy few who do bust
ness at loss and live upon the profit. All
these may be expected to le a petition of
voluntary bankruptcy before the first of Janu-
arr. We take it for granted, then, that even
those most backward in coming to the front
sental 10 their personal prosperity and to
that OF the. city and State. And an honest
government can only be had through the
Reform movement.
This brings US to the second hypothesis
that these good people think that we can do
without them. In their excessive humility

GREENvILLE.

In the joint political discussion on Monday,
General Worthington spoke for the Scott Ring
and Colonel Mckissick and Colonel Crlttenden
for the Retormers. The entire day passed oil
quietly, with good results for the Reformers
YORK.
A Reform mass meeting was held on Mon
day. General William A. Walker delivered an
eloquent address, in which he vividly portray
ed the distress of the people, poor and rich,
under the Scott rule, and showed the co-equal
interest of rich and poor in the management
oil Stale affairs.
FAIRFIELD.
The Winnshoro' Ne'os warmly supports the
County Reform nominations. 1t says: "a Re-
publican heads our State ticket. We nominate
Republicans on our county ticket, too. Wego
further, and nominate FIVE OF the nominees OF
the Republican party Itself right here in our
midst, and give the lie to the SANDER that we
are not in earnest In our professions of simply
desiring the best we can get"
ANDERSON.
The InteUigeacer says: "The citizens of this
county were truly disappointed on Monday
last, as there were none of the gentlemen pre-
sent who were advertised 10 speak on that oc-
casion. Large numbers of people from every
section came here, in compliance with the in
vtation which had been extended through
these columns, and they were naturally anxi-
ous to know the reason for the failure OF the
speakers to attend But 1t was not In our
power to crafty their Inquiries, and we are
yet without any information as to the cause OF
the disappointment"
WILLIAMSBURG.
The Reformers were very successful at
kingstree on Thursday last. 1t was Radical
meeting, and the Star says that there was u
large crowd present, at least sixteen hundred
people, out Of which number we Judge there
were about twelve hundred voters. The meet
Ing WAS addressed on the Radical side by S. A.
Swails, Joseph u. Ilainey and F. J. Moses, Jr.
Colonel G. w. Dudley and s. w. Maurice, ESQ.,,
made speeches on the side of Reform. We
heard the speeches of Colonel Dudley and j.
h. Rainey, candidates ior Congress from the
First Congressional District. Colonel Dudley
made one OF the best arguments In favor OF
Reform that We have yet listened to. He suit
ed himself to The crowd, and made plain,
comprehensive and truthful statement oil the
issues before the people. Rainey's speech was
Intended as reply 10 Colonel Dudley, but he
sgHally failed to meet and refute the argu-
ments Of his opponent.
NEWBERRY.
At the Reform mass meeting on Monday,
speeches we're made by Mr. E. w. Seibels and
others. THIS county is well organized and

sPARTANBURG.
There was a joint political meeting at the
Courthouse on Monday. Admirable Reform
speeches were made by DR.. R. NJ. Smith, Major
and D. R. Duncan. The Spartan expects that
the county will poll a larger vote against Rad
icalism than ever before.
SUMTER.
General John D. Kennedy addressed large
number of the citizens of Sumter, white and
colored, from the courthouse steps, on Mon
day last, after the adjournment of the court,
The Ratchman says that General Kennedy
acquitted himself with decided success. His
ability, liberallty and patriotism combined,
mark him Enthusiastically as one of the repre-
sentative men of the State fer the time to come
He spoke with great earnestness and strong
point and reason, anon rising with burning
enthusiasm to the eloquence Of his theme.

A Correction.

We print note from General Conner cor
recting an error contained in his Camden
speech. This error, however, does not affect
General Conner's analysis Of Mr.. Chamber
lain's Chester speech, nor does it touch the
main points in issue between the Reform
party and the Scott Ring, viz: the oppres-
sive and unnecessary increase of taxation,
and the enormous additions made by the
Scott party to the public debt OF the State.
