b,tne. :.
1t is not my meaning that we should
take the pains to deny every error tina
may appear in campaign speeches OF
papers, but / do mean that when state
ments appear as coming from yourself, Of
from others who are robed with the dig
nifty of Office, which ought to attach i'm
<portance and credibility to what they
say, and when these utterances, as in the
instances above cited, are totally false
and affect the character of the State, it is
the duty, I respectfully submit, of the
Governor to deny them. And if.hc (the
Governor) believes them to be true, it is
his duty:to restore peace and order; and
to do so it is his sworn duty to call upon
the citizens to sustain him and enforce
the law. All these assaults are made
against the Democratic party. What
ever may be our political error, in your
estimation, in belonging to that party,
we are none the less citizensof this State,
and as such we have the right to ask OF
you the, protection which in your official
position you alone can give. I'% /
IF th.ie be terrorism and violence In
the State, call upon us to suppress it. and
do not let'the name of the State be per-
yerted to dishonorable political purposes.
You, and no one better, know that the
white people of South Carolina are strug-
Cling as few people ever have done to
cast off a burthen of corruption and
wrong such as yet fewer people have ever
borne so long. In your own words,
speaking of your own, party:
"Reform, if it was mot of itself right,
has become absolutely necessary, or the
State will sink"
"The party has ever been going into
campaigns promising retrenchment and
reform and never performing It,"
"Matters cannot run for six years to
come as they have for the past six years. "
SaThese figures" speaking of Legislative
expenses) II may say are unparalleled
in the history of American legislation.
It is stealing pure and simple"
And, referring to the election OF two
Judges-elected, I may say, by the lead
ing man now on the ticket with you,
'Their election has sent aithrill of horror
throughout the State. \ u l look
to their election as a horrible disaster" !"
'The civilization of the Puritan and the
Cavalier, of the Roundhead and the
Huguenot, is in peril. Courage, deter
mination, union, victory;;~'must be our
watchwords."
"No party can rule this State that sup
ports Whipper and Moses.
There is but one way to save the Repub-
lican party in South Carolina, and that
way is to unload Whipper and Moses
and all who go with them. X -
Neither the administration at Washing
ton, with all its appliances-civil and
militay-nor all the denunciations OF
the world heaped upon me, can save the
Republican party here from overwhelm-
ing defeat during this year, unless we
can persuade the people of this State
that such things as these judicial cleo
tions will be undone and never by posi-
bility repeated"
. You know that the men who were the
leaders, who conducted that election,
and who perpetrated the wrongs of which
it was feeble expression, are the same
men who control the ticket upon which
your name stands. who devised your
party platform, and are to-day your polit-
ical exponents. You know that it is
against all this that our unfortunate peo-
pie are struggling; and yet you know
full we'll that their efforts, although in
the warmth of canvass, are orderly and
within the law. Your manhood compels
you to approve our course, but we do not
call upon you for that. As a candidate
you are entitled to all benefits which can
accrue from the measures which your
followers Tor, if you would permit me, ]
would say your party leaders, for your
independent course was very different, J
have adopted. But as the Governor OF
the State you are called upon to either
contradict the assertion that the law is
overthrow and that terrorism prevails,
or to suppress this lawlessness and it is
our right that you call upon US before
you appeal to the government of the
United States. Our services are at your
command, and whatever is our duty we
are ready to do.
To recur. beg leave again to extend
to you the invitation, and ask of you to
communicate it to the candidates upon
your ticket, as it is meant for them as
we'll as for yourself. It is the wish OF
the Democratic party that you accept it,
for we are earnestly desirous to remove
the bitterness of race feeling, which we
attribute to the prejudices and erroneous
views which have been instilled into the
colored race. And we honestly desire
peaceful and untrammelled discussion,
that the people may become enlightened
on the issues of the day."
Your early reply will be deemed a
favor, and if such be your wish, prepara-
tion will be made to receive you at the
first meeting that it shall be your pleas
ure to indicate.
have the honor to be, very respect
fully, your obedient servant.
A. G. HASKELL,
Chairman State Democratic Executive
Committee.
