mm16SlOn0T6-An Honest
Election Secured.
CHARLESTON. Oct g. 1874.
Much dissatisfaction has prevailed ior weeks
past among tAe independent republicans, owing to
the fact that the Boards OF Election Commiss toner's
throughout the State were composed exclusively
OF members OF the Chamberlaine party, and conse-
quenJly feared tnat the vote for Green, the inde-
pendent republican candidate. might not be fairly
counted and declared. Governor Moses has,
therefore, issued proclamation changing the
Commissioners in every county, 30 that each Board
shall be composed or one regular republican, one
independent republican, and one conservative
The proclamation Is as ionows:- fH 9na#
Whereas numerous complaints have reached
me from various quarters OF the State that the
several political parties are not adequately repre-
sented In the Board OF Commissioners OF Election
at present Constituted ana whereas this lack OF
representation has given rise IN many instances
to grave apprehenslons OF trouble In The conducs
OF the approaching elections, and whereas It is
the duty OF the Executive to give to the whole
people OF the state all proper and reasonable
guarantees Tor the sanctity Of the ballot box and
Q ful and far expression OF the popular VIII
Now, therefore, /, +. j. Moses, IT., Governor In
and over the state OF South Carolina, do issue
changes IN the Board OF Commissioners OF Eec-
ton IN the several counties Of the state. E0
Then follows the list OF new appointees.
The Ne.os and Courier, commenting upon the
proclamation, says:- mn.t..na
Well advised now, il never before, Governor
Moses has gratlded his lew friends and dlsap-
pointed his many enemies, and by one broad,
straIghtl0r ara exercise OF the Executive power
has removed deep-seated dlstrust ano disc0n-
tent. Insured the maintenance OF the public peace
and gwen confidence and cheerrulness TO every
good citizen OF the State. With the new Commis-
aoner5 an honest and fair election Is certain, and
the people. without mdrmuring, Will abide Dy
and submit TO the verdict Of the majority OF the
voters VI the State. aN
