for Hayes and Wheeler and Hu.np-
ton. The lattor's character, both Us
citizen and soldier, is entirely above
roproach. And the State Demo
cratic ticket is in full keeping with
the high fame of Hampton. If ali
the American people were put into
"a cauldron and boiled down to
cracking, there could not be Il better
ticket madcnp Hampton has always
been conservative man, and he was
n kind master. Two hundred of his
former slaves in Rchland will vote
for him. The platforms of the two
parties are identical. Hampton has
the honor Of having first advocated
giving the right of suffrage to the
rolorcd man. He is not an office
seeker. His present candidacy was
entirely unsoaght by him. 1t WAS
thrust upon him by Il grateful AID
"pprcciativo people. He will be
c,cctcl.
Tine speaker then drew strong
picture of The evils Of Radical dom
naticn i'll South Carolina, aud
showed hat though the part
has had four trials, it has
failed entirely to give thc pco-
pie an honest administration Of
the public affairs. The Radical par
ty are like Il boy playing bnll-tley
have htd three strikes and they are
oct. Thc party is failure, and is
utterly incapable Of giving to the
State a good government. AS long
us the present kind Of government
lasts, there will be troubles between
the races, and tho co!orcd people
will always be the sufferers. This
results from the fact that the State
government is we;.k, and thc white
people have lost their sympathy for
the negro. on account Of the lattcr's
conduct. Chamberlain is, and must
always be, powcrlcSs to give tho
people protection, because he has
not the confidence of the better por-
ton OF the State, and because he is
too much OF Il coward to take the
proper stand. At the Abbcvillo
Republican meeting, there WAS II
reported disturbance, and he was
urged to 80 upon the street and
quiet the crowd, but he refused.
L went. and soon thcyc was no sign
Of disturbance. The people want
a governor who can and will protect
them. Chamberlain has failed to do
so. AS long as the present bad
government continues the blacks
will suffer, and they deserve TO suf
Ter. The present Radical leaders
care nothing for them. Chamber
lain himself has private vault in
New York, in which he keeps the
money he has made out Of the
people of South Carolina. Cham
hcrl"in and the Radicals have led
on me. They charge INC
with having said that II supported
Hampton, because L feared losing
my property and perhaps my life, if
L opposed him. This is lie, and
Chamberlain is guilty of it. The
cololcd people owe to themselves
and TO liSnt to vote with the Demo
cratic party for Hampton and Il Q
rest OF the State Ticket They will
he IN ali respects better OIL when
thc Democratic ticket is elected i
have IN my possession evidence
enough to damn Chamberlain, but
viii not disclose it ut this time. As
compared with Hampton, Chambct-
LAIN is far inferior. Were his soul
put i'll ltampton'S body, the lattcr
would b" ut once frozen out--Hu
cold is Chamberlain $ nature. Every
consideration urges the people 60
work hard for the Democratic cause.
The colorcd people should try The
Democrats, and if the party fail to
Ito what is right, they should hurl it
forever from power. Should trou-
bic ever come the blacks should be
spared, and the corrupt white lead
crS driven to thc wall.
The snr.,Acr concluded with y
strong appeal to nIl the people 10
work with n will for the Democratic
cause.
III" SpcccH OF JuuSc LOOK was III
all respects strong and effective
one, and We regret that we cannot
give fuller report of it. ITc was
fc1nen'lyinterruptcd with applause,
, and Us he took his seat the crowd
gave hin three rousing cheers.
The chairman here announced
that II message had como from Judge
Mackey, stating that he would be
unable to attend, in consequence of
his judicial duties ut Yorkville.
The next speaker was
GEN. j. d. KENNEDY.
Ho commenced by relating the
anccdotc told Of Gen. Butcher when
