A Warning.

Those who count upon the continued
docihty of the people of South Carolina
ppder misrule reckon without the host.
There are signs of organization in one
party and mutterings of revolt in the
other. 1t is not possible that the con-
servatives will again allow an election to
90 by default. We sec in the Oranges
the a a-ency needed in the past to bring
ont the full vote of the democratic party
in one supreme effort to secure an honest
and economical government. And we
see in the very recklessncss of the repun
lican leaders, in the talk Of the people
aroupd us, heard in Columbia, IN the
streets, in the cars, and by the wayslde,
that the ties of party fealty are grown
weaker, that the fears of the past are
being dissipated, and that longing tor
r.rity and decency is growing among
those whose votes have hitherto been
depanded upon to continue in power
those who have been false to every trust,
who have broken every promise, and
whose course has proved heavy load to
rcpublicanism elsewhere and disgrace
10 it here.
The democrats of New Yolk, generally
Of the lower grades of the people, showed
their desire for honest government by
oyenhrowing Tweed The sixty thou
saud majority which his party had ior
wears maintained emboidcncd Tweed and
his CO. thieves to believe that they need
fear nothing. They insolen'}y inquired
when first confronted with the evidences
of their frauds: What are you going to
do about it," They had constituency
which republicans were apt to think were
hnpelessly besotted with ignorance and
dishonesty. Yet when these masses,
thought to be so obtuse, so degraded, 30
paytisan-when, we say, these masses
were at last convinced of the rascaIity OF
their leaders,, they rose in anger and dis
gust to Join a movement for reform.
Thousands of the democratic party, lar
removed in education. in social rank and
10 apparent responsibility from the mass
ol voters, hung back or actively worked
to retain in power their old time leaders.
Thus is it everywhere. The people,
the masses, though they may be hard to
move though they may long decline to
believe in the guilt OF those they have
trusted and been used to follow, when
that confidence is finally broken, when it
becomes manifest that they have been
deceived, have always been found with
patriotism enough to subordinate habit
Of Obedience to party leaders, to prefer
good government to party success.
