ga Plague on Both Your Houses
From the Chester Reporterl -, ''4'
In our Judgment the contest between the
two rings of the Radicals Ia ia fight between
black dog and monkey . They are both
after the purse strings OF the State, and hon.
est people would have very little to hope for
from the success Of either party We do not
propose 10 take any stock in the fight They
may abuse and vlIllfy each other to their
hearts content; we wlh',endorse anything
that either party can accuse the other of,
aud will do all our cheering iOr the slide
that can hit the hardest llcks. ..''. i.t .4,H

ton oil the petty rogue, and organized q sepa-
rate convention. They sald, however, that If
the Democrats attempted TO take advantage Of
the split In the Radical ranks, they would Ia.
autly unite with The thieves and rogues, and
bid defiance to the white folks! Was anything

semblance of honesty In those who made tho

Two Bitter pills.: .,--.,'sto',
From the Oraugeburg News:l
VIZ cannot say what bitter pills We may yet
be called upon TO swallow upon the dubious
policy Of q chuice between evils, but our opo-
iun of the Bulters' Convention ls not very ex.
altpd. II is mostly composed Of men who are
now forced 10 admit that the Reform party
Was right In 1870, aud yet they worked against
IC. The members of this convention show
very plainly that they want the sixty thous-
and Democratic votes 10 elect their candi-
dates, and vet they treat this party with the
utmost indifference. Repub bicans have set to
learn that minority oil sixIy Thousand, com.
posed as this Is In South Carolina, ls not to be
caJoled or bullied into anything which does
not give some guarantee OF honesty, decency
and Justice. -
