The Only Hope for the South.
From the Wtnnsboro' News.l

From the Wtnnsboro' News.
We have before US now the candidates and
platform of the Liberal Republicans, and 1t
rests with Democrats to say whether or not
they shall triumph. We are free to say that
we purpose giving to the Liberal cause our
whole support, because In It's SUCCESS alone
can we discern any hope OF relief for the
South from military oppression and carpet
bag thievlng aud corruption.
Two Strong Men.
From the Marion Star.l
Taking into consideration that there are
now but two political parties In the United
States, the Republican and Democratic. tho
latter of which is powerless at this moment.
we think the selection OF Greeley and Brown
augurs tavorably for the restoration OF con-
slitutional government--the restoration OF
violated constitution, We don't believe that
the convention could possibly have selected
Two other men who would have been 30
strong With the masses of the people.
A Qualified Approval.
From the Kingstree Star.l
If the race is narrowed down to Greeley
against Grant, we shall support Mr.. Greeley.
We do not know what course the national
Democracy will pursue, but we shall not be
led from our individual judgment merely upon
a party name unless there Is hope OF success.
We shall endeavor to take practical survey
OF the field when the furces ore marshalled,
and support the one which Is less obecliona-
BILE and most likely to defeat those who have
been tried and proved falthless. "
Let PassivIsm Prevail.
From the Marion Crescent.l
We regarded the Neg Hampshire and Con-
necticut elections as 3 demonstration of the
utter impossibillty of electing Democrat, and
we thought common sense and common saga
city would induce our party to refrain from
contest which could bring nothing but defeat;
and taking advantage of the rising dissensons
sprinsing up In Republican ranks, that We
would by our votes defeat and thus break
down the infamous corruption which now
threatens the financial ruin of our country and
the destruction of personal liberty. We can
defeat Grant, the embodiment, the head aud
front of this corruption, only by supporting
the Cincinnati nominees. We do not know
what will be done at the Democratic Conven-
ton, but we hope the passive policy will pre-
vail. II 1t does not, we will have1ost our best
opportunity to effect real good TO our country;
for by It's behest the great mass Of voters will
be governed, and so must we.
The Democracy Cannot Hesitate.
From the Abbeville Press
The candidates are both men who have o
strong hold upon the popular heart, and who
will unite strong support from the East and
West. But without the aid of the Northern
democracy We suppose luHL euCC65S 10 lupOS-
sible. Whether that aid will be given cannot
be determined before the meeting of the
Democratic Convention which will soon be
called. We trust that these men will rise
above the allurements OF party success, and
act solely with view to the public good.
With such principle to control they cannot
hesitate long.
The Dictates of Prudence and Common
Sense.
From the Sumter New5l
No better selection of candidates could have
been made. They will undoubtedly be elect
ed too, If the Democrats fuse with the new
party, as prudence and common sense dictate
to them 10 do. instead CT their making another
nomination. We believe that the Democratic
Convention will endorse the Cincinnati noml-
nation, and that the Democracy will merge
itself in the new party.
Let the Democrats Sustain Greeley.
from the Newberry Heraldl
We think that the nomination OF Mr. Cree
| ley will give general satisfaction. His course
| has been unvaryiugly consistent, and his SYM
pathies have been largely exercised in behalf
| OF the oppressed South. As the nominee of
| the Cincinnati Convention we hope that the
Democratic party will sustain him, and to-
gether with Liberal Republicans and Conser-
valves all unite heartily in placing him In the
Executive chair.
Country Before Party.
From the Columbia South Caro;inIan.l
tits vain TO resist the conclusion that the
nomination at Cincinnati has produced pro.
found i'm preston from one end Of the country
| to the other. North, East, South aud West,
the response has been more or less sym
pathetic. 1t remains 10 be seen whether
The Northern Democracy will unite upon Gree
| lev and Brown or try the hazard of an nde-
pendent nomination. In the consideration of
this question, we hope that country will be
allowed TO rise above party. Whenever the
decision has been made,.w hope 10 find the
National Democracy prepared 10 make what
ever sacrifices that patriotic regard for the
public good shall demand.
A Powerful Nomination.
From the Oraugeburg %imes.l
That the e-nomination Is a very powerful one
| nobody can deny, nor could they have chosen
two men who are more calculated to induce
that spirit of concession on the part OF the
Southerd white men, which is 10 work that
