Pursuant 10 announcement, speakin. By
a number Of prominent men was had ON
the South side of the Public Square last
night.
Before the procession reached the Square
Neill ;. Brown, Jr., took the stand and
made brief but pertinent speech, which
was well received. When Mr.. Brown con-
Guided Con. O'Donnell, the Edgefield bard,
had the call, who stepped upon
the stand and delivered a short
address in his own peculiar style. When
Capt. W. G.. Ewin. Chief Marshal Of the
mounted brigade, rode up to the stand and
announced that the procession had reached
it, destination. calls were made for Gen.
Quarles who took the stand and made
telling speech.
He wanted them to stand up and rein
augurate the authority Of party. Vote en-
tirely through; let US have no scratched
tickets. Come up, We have heard from
Nicksburg. and what did they dO9 they

r,asnriftr A. tho ssar1alrrzf.rt e lrrarlaF5
speech. Gen. Bate, being loudly called for
took the stand. What did all this enthu-
siaSm mean il meant that they intended
TO stand by the Anglo Saxon race,
even at the expense of the negro.
They must have organization, it was
impossible for any party to succeed in a
contest like this without organization. II
had been rumOred that he intended to vote
for certain individual who had been a
fellow soldier of his, Maj. Albert AkerS,
so he took the occasion to say
in his presence yesterday, that he
had but one brother left from
the battles Of the South, and if that brother
were = candidate and affiliated with the
negro, he would not give him his support.
There never was an election OF more i'm
pOrtance in this county than that Of to-
mOTrOW-never one in which there had
been more involved. They would succeed;
there was no question about that; there
was too much al stake not to succeed. The
cause Of this third party in the Capital of
the county was that the Independents were
palled upon the backs by the Radicals, who
would desert them on election day.
They should stand shoulder to shoulder
tomorrow and cast a solid shot that would
paralyze the Radical party and then there
would be no utilization with the negro.
After abiding 10 the lateneSs of the hour
Gen. Bate concluded by proposing three
cheers for the Democratic ticket, which was
heartily responded to.
He was followed by Capt. sam Donel-
son, who asked all to 90 TO the polls to-day
and vote, as this battle would decide the
one in next November.
James L. Bell was next called out, and
he said he had seen a good many demon
but had never wit
messed any thing rs great as
the present one. He felt proud to be
candidate before such a people. John |
read a resolution which was
adopted requesting the business men
# ihg city 10 close their houses on the |
