Democratic Sentiment.
From the Chicago News.

Our Democratic exchanges very gen.
orally seem to take correct view of the
political situation. While all feel that
a straight Democratic victory may be
achieved this fall, they are prepared to
cooperate with the Reform Republi.
cans and the Labor Unionists in their
effort to defeat Grant.
Judge David Davis is undoubtedly, of
all Republicans, the one most likely to
unite the various elements of the oppo-
sition to Grant. lie has been presented
by the Labor Unionists as the candidate
of their choice. He belongs to the re.
form element of the Republican party,
and possesses the confidence Of the
Democracy. There are few men in the
country who can boast such elements of
strength.
There are certain things which the
Democratic party will do, and there are
Others which it will not do. 1t will
unite upon such candidate as Davis,
presented apon liberal platform. 1t
will not accept of any one whose politi.
cal course is stained with the ultraism
of the past, nor will it permit an aban.
donment of Democratic principles as
expounded by Jefferson. 1t will CO.
operate with Others in the overthrow of
Grant, but in SO doing will not abandon
its organization. 1t will move its trained
battalions under its own chosen lead.
ers, and in any act. on taken will act as
a party-though it may be as cooper.
ating one.
Should the Cincinnati Convention
temporize and refuse to nominate Judge
Davis, or place an Objectionable candi-
date in the field. the Democracy must
strip themselves for the fight, nominate
a straight ticket, and achieve a party
victory in the approaching contest.

Z. B. Cox, Esq, and unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, 1t is for the best interest Of
the State that the free expression OF the
people should be heard and the manage
ment of affairs should be entirely under
their control; and whereas, in the distinct
party organizations now in existence that
relief which is so urgently demanded can
not reach the people;
ResOlUed, That we recommend to our
fellOw-cltizens to ignore all distinct party
organizations, and to assemble in conven-
tiOns simply as an oppressed and suffering
people, determined to rescue the govern
ment from its present corrupt condition,
and with this object in view, to unite in
forming a State and parish ticket, that will
invite to its support every voter, without
distinction, who is opposed the running
policy which threatens our national and
State governments; that we favor a
general convention in which all parties may
unite on an equal footing in the nomination
of men whose integrity is unquestioued,
without regard to former party affiliations.
That we recognize no test for Office save in
tegrity of character, honesty Of purpose,
and determination to effect thorough re-
form in every branch Of the national gov
ernment and reduce taxation, as far as is
consonant with the payment Of all just
debts aud ordinary expenses.
ResOiced, That we approve and indoTse
the call made for Liberal convention, to
be held in New Orleans on the first Mon
day in August next.
ReSolUed, That these proceedings be
printed in the New Orleans Times and RE

Death Of Mrs. Greeley.

This sad event occurred in the city of
New York last week. Mrs. Greeley had
been sufferer for years. During the latter
part of her illness, her husband devoted hi,
entire time and attention to her.
1t is to be regretted that Mrs Greeley's
illness prevented Mr.. Greeley from attend
ing to the duties which pressed upon him as
candidate for the Presidency, and if de-
fcated, it may be attributed in part to his
devotion to his wife. Yet, every true man
will think more of Mr.. Greeley for acting
as he has done, than if he had thrown away
natural affection, and gone into the canvass
more actively.

the Charleston Courier. General John B.
Gordon, of Georgia, will deliver the address
Oh that occasion. BY reference to our local
columns, it will be seen that a Committee
from our District Association has been ap-
pointed to attend the annual meeting.
We hope that the celebration will be WE'LL
attended, and that the true and brave " il
again meet, not amid the clash of arms and
the roar of battle, but amid the no less stir
ring scenes of busy life, and there recall
their deeds of valor, and mourn over those
who went to the front and found bloody
grave in battling for the cause which they
held dear.

Official Vote for Governor.

We copy below, tho completed table OF
the vote for Governor of South Carolina, at
the late election, for which we are indebted
to the Charleston Courier.
The figures (says the Co'uier,) are taken
from the official returns Of the Commission
ers in the various Counties in the State, and
arc reliable. 1t will bo seen that Gen. Mo-
ses received II, 1888, and Mr.. Tomlinson &c.
47S votes. As compared with the vote Of
1870, this is light vote. In the election
for Governor of that year Gov. Scott recei-
we'd S5,O71 votes, and Judge Carpenter
51,537. SCOTS majority was 1884
There has been falling off in the total vote
as compared with the vote of 1870, of 20,-
747. General Moses majority is $4,000.
