. was productive Of admirable results.
Tho eyes Of the pNorthsrn people
were opened, the corrupt ring at
Columbia was frightened, and the
honest citizens of the State were
aroused. An opportunity for the
combining of tie latter was offered
in the systom 'of Tux Unions, But it
is difficult to reorganize a party that
has merely become weakened. TO
organize party from nothing was II
herculoan task. The work at first
was slow. But by degrees tho move
mcnt gathered strength. And now
every oxcha ,ge brings with it reports
Of the formation Of tax unions in
