The OraDgeburg News, one of the
organs lately added to Mr. u. II. Cham

article taken from the Charleston San,

with the query: Don't support him,
because he will pay your debts?" The

that Chamberlaiu, if successful, will
go right at the peoples money to give
it to the bondholders. The same
organ plays a little tune to the small
farmers and small landholdcrs. 1t
threatens them with the terrible tax-
gatherer, who, if he meets any diff.

Damaging.

The most remarkable thing il our
newspaper political literature now
going through the press is the arrnign-
ment of e1 Attorney General Cham
berlain, both for misfesance and NAL
feasancs in the several oflicial positions
he has held in this State, by the
Charleston Ne,cs and Courier. 1t is
absolutely crushing and unanswerable
It Was the fashion Of the Union- Herald
to reply to our structures on Mr..
Chamberlain, and by way of sufficient
answer to our difficulties IN seeing his
fitness to represent reform, to say
briefly that we "hated him bitterly. -
That WAS pucrile and weak enough.
one would have thought. But in it's
answer TO tho terrible indictment Of
our Charleston contemporary, it seems
to have reduced guinness to science,
and to be fearfully demoralizod withaI
Take this, for example: "These arti-
cles ought to be benefit to Mr. Cham
berlain in two ways-iirst, they show
whose nomination, of all men in the
State. the Democracy most dread; Sc.
condly, they show the material Of
which the Wholesale charges against
him urc manufactured" The Demo.
cracy, which, as horc used. may he
taken as q compendious term for tl,oso
who control and own the permanent
and substantial interests of the Stnie,
do indeed dread Mr., Chamberlain.
And they have good reason, and tho
reasons are cogsntly presented in these
articles. If it will benefit man to
show tilat property, intelligence and
education distrust him, that the better
Glasses dread him. it will demonstrate
that he is the enemy of the great inte-
rests and foe to the peaco and pros.
perity Of society. The Union Herald
proves moro than is good for its candi-
date. As to tho material of the
"charges, whether wholesale or retail,
We think it extremely sound: and SO
must every candid reader. It would
be q good idea to bring this discussion
out in pamphlet form. and scatter it
broadcast amongst the voters. No
properly Informed man, who has the
good of the State at heart, Gun sup
port man with such record as ATr.
Chamberlain is here shown 10 be enti-
tied to.
