adopted at meeting Of the ministers, deacons
and members of the Stevens Creek Church,

mark to Hancock about bis threat to shoot
his brother, when Hancock at once turned

The only regret the Republicans OF the coun-
try need feel at the result of the recent muni.
cipal election in Charleston, s. G., y that the
defeat Of the Radical ticket should naYt been
30 well.deserved. The Republican Newspaper,
which repudiared part OF the ticket before

that he voted for several candidates on the
Citizens ticket, emphaticSlly asserts that tne
Republicans defeated themselves by 3om,na-
ting unfit men for Office, by s'torcnilsnt pro-
cesslons which were little better than sllceS

that tomfoolery which dissraced our city and
diseusted and msddened the good men OF our
party:" The Democratic papers which went
into the successful Citizens movement make
no pretence of party victory. The
NEWS SAYS: "We must, however, IN
all !, our rejoicing, remember that this
is not the victory of q party or a Class:
The day has been won by the united labors OF
