Federal Constitution, and says: Accepting
and standing upon them, we turn from the

OF Its distinguished reform leaders, assisted
by the eminently patriotic and able COUNSEL

and the dissensions, confusion and NAL adj

give place to concord, good government and

cordaDce with the eclarations OF that plat
form and utterances and acts of our
distinguished leaders, we demand a
genuine and thorough reform in the
state OF South Carolina and call upon all
It's citizens, Irrespective OF race, color or pre-

demption; for IL is evident that substantial
and lasting reform is Impossible within the
ran ks OF the republican party OF this state.
We charge that party with arraying
race against race, creating disturbances
and fomenting difficulties, with prostituting
the elective franchise, tampering with the
ballot box, and holding unfair and fraudu-
lent elections; with having accumulated an
enormous debt, mismanaged the finances
and injured the credit OF the state, with levy
