Capt. Waters friends land there name
is legion) that had his name been On the
ticket, he could have carried heavy
negro vote in this Regiment
And finally came Gen. Gary--the ino
imitable Gary. But wo will not attempt
u synopsis of his fine speech. sufhce 1t
to say it was characteristic of the man.
Full Of everything wise and .iudicious'
replete with good advice aud stirring
appeal to the manhood of Edgeheid'
while it aboundod in scatlling rebukes
to Chamberlain and all his ilk. Gen.
Gary's speech was cffrctivein every way,
and will serve to unite with hooks OF
steel the Democracy in the fight, as they
move elbow to elbow in solid phaian1
for the redemption of Edgefield and
South Carolina. Gen. Gary by his inde-
pendent, straight. out, determined, man
ly action, has made his name the watch
word of Democracy. He is emphatlcal-
ly the man for the occasion. ----
w. ]. Ready now made good speech,
in which he illustrated the effects OF the
storm that had burst upon Chamberlain
at Edgefcld, directed by Gary and But
Ter, and subsequently at Newberry and
Abbeville, predicting that Chamberlain
would not be the nominee OF his party.
After Mr.. Ready, jay. Culbreath, Esq,
of Saluda, who now lives in NewDerry,
made few timely remarks on Federal
politics, referring to past and present.
He spoke amusingly of Chainberlain's
discontinue at Newberry. Mr.. Culbreath
illustrates the fact that Edgefield men do
not degenerate when transplanted.
Mr.. CASTOR, of Ridge Spring, our Cam
didate for Sheriff, said but little, aver
ring that the day was too far spent. He is
a strong advocate of action, determined
action. He followed Gen. Hampton in
the Legion, and knew him to be all and
-everSsihsng that great and good people
could require their Governor to be. He
promises to do his whole duty if elected.
We believe him, and shall elect him.
Capt. L. Charlton, our candidate for
Judge of Probate, now came forward to
offer the following resolutions, which
were unanimously adopted:
RESOLVED, lst. That we, Democrats OF
Mt. Willing, heartily endorse the plat
form of the ST. Louis Convention, accept
ed by tho State Convention Of the Demo-
fxy
of Samuel j. Tilden, of New York, Tor
the Presidency, and of Thos. A. Hen.
dricks, of Indiana, for the Tice-Presi
dcncy of the United States, and Will
spare no effort to secure the entire vote
of the people of this State for their elec-
tion.
I'd, That we accept the action Of the
late Democratic Conventions at Colum-
bia and Edgefield G. H., and ratily the
nominations for County, State and Fod
eral officers made by those bodies, and
pledge the nominees, one and all upon
those tickets, our most earnest, Jealous
and active support, as representatives OF
the ehonesty, the Intelligence and the prop
erty of Edgefeld county, and the State
Of South Carolina.
Sd. That we desire to give emphatic
expression to our high appreciation Of
the wise, patriotic and intrepid course of
the Edgefield Advertiser in this political
campaign, and Of its watchful defence OF
the rights and liberties of our people
through many years past.
Capt. Charlton was loudly called upon
for speech. He excused himself, and
in SO doing made the most capital sort of
speech. He said he was no mass meeting
speaker. but would speak for US at any
time at our clubs, and elsewhese. Capt.
c carries every vote in the 10th, and we
hope to see him elected by a huge ma
jority.
And now, Messrs. Editors, with one or
two more remarks, 1 will close my ac-
count of the Mt. Willing mass meeting.
We missed Gen. Butler at this meeting
very decidedly. We love, honor and
trust him and his absence was through
out the day, cause of universally e1-
pressed regret. And scarcely less did
we miss the presence of representative
of yoursssravc and able paper. When
this ca ign shall be triumphantly won,
all Ed arot,o.,.l will poi,it to,the old -Ad
vertiser with pride and gratitude, and
say: "Well done, thou good and faithful
servant" e. J. G.
