To The People of South Carolina:
70 The Board of Canvassers have, by
their unprecedented action to-day, shown
not only their contempt and defiance OF
the Supreme Court OF the State. but
their utter disregard o. their own official
integrity. While the grave questions Of
determining the result of the recent elec-
ton were pending before the Suprem e
Court, composed of three judges be-
longing to the Republican party, and in
direct violation of the orders Of this
tribunal, the board have issued certiti
Gates of election to the Republican pres.
idential electors and state officers, and
have refused to give certificates to the
Democratic members of the Legislature
shown by this same Board to have been
elected, in the counties of Edgeield and
Laurens. This high-handed outrage is
calculated to arouse the indignation OF
our long suffering people, but l assure
them that this daring and revolutionary
act of the Board can have no legal force
whatever / appeal to you, therefore,
in the fullest confidence that the appeal
will not be uuheeded, that you will main
lain, even under that pro vocation, your
character as an orderly, law-abiding peo-
pie. During the past exciting canvass
you have estudionsly avoided even the
semblance of a purpose to disturb the
public peace or to transgress the law
Your cause, and it is the cause Of the
Constitutional government Of the coun-
try, has been carried to the highest court
of the State, and we are willing to abide
by its decision, feeling assured that this
tribunal will see that the laws shall be
enforced and justice secured.
