of Republicans OH their ticket to
give them a large majority if elected,
They always look well to the main
chance, and are sure 10 keep the
Democrats in the minority, and at
/ tho next election, arc ready to come
in sae l:egularsAif the chauces. are In
their favor. This has been the case
in Charleston, and elsewhere where
they have ever succeeded, The Re-
publican party in this Sfaje, as such,
is as thoroughly organized o-day as
it was in 1868. Thore are a certain
portion of them who arc honestly
tired of their party, and would gladly
come over to the Democrats if We
would give them the chance but
this We viii not do; for we tell them
by cur coarse, to stay whcre they
are, for we had rather vote with and
for Republicans, than to have them
V ote with and tor Us. This is the
simple meaning Of non~orgonization.
We will not organize and give them
an opportunity to join us, but ask
til em to "bolL" and let us join them.
AS for our part, we are tired OF
this course, and do not care to pur"
sue it any longer, but if the fatcs are
against us, SO be it. 1he election in
this county is not fair illustration,
Tor the noneorganization policy in
Oconoc III 1872, sent Republican
TO the Legs lature, and cane within
few votes Of electing colored
gentleman County Commissioner,
and prevented united action on the
part Of the Democrats in 1874. The
action Of the Republicans in that as
well rs this county, proves that
there organization remains intact,
and there is no way OF meeting it
only by counter organization. The
overwhelming vote give MCGOWAN,
was due to the i'll temperate speech
made by Hogc at this place. His
attempt to solidiiy the negro vote by
rehearsing ku klux outragcs in this
and other States, drove the white
Republicans and their influence from
him ; and We would ask the Courier
if McGowan was not regularly nom
mated by Democratic convention
and if SO, how can it make any COM
Pa.i8vm between tic vole for equity
officials and McGowan'S on the
grounds Of Democratic nomination.
Both MCGOWAN and the county ticket
were regularly nominated by D1mo-
cratic conventions, and MoGowan's .
increased vote over that OF the count y
ticket can not be attributed in any
sense of the word 10 non.ol ganization
1t is due wholly, to the fact above
stated, to his personal popularity and
ability over that e A!4 opponent
The non~organzatipn policy sent a

it is necessary iii New York am

does not nccossarially mean the OK

its ticket or ranks. If it is necos
