gard of their own official integrity. While
grave questions determining the result OF
The recent election were pending before the
Supreme Court, composed of three judges,
belonging 10 the Republican party, and in
direct VI .l4tiOn of the orders of this tribu-
ugl, the board has issued certificates Of
election 10 the Republican presidential cleo
5Urs aud the Republican State officers, and
have refused TO give cert ficatcs to Demo-
cratic members of the Legislature shown
by the returns of the same board to have
been elected in the counties of Eigc-
ield and Lsurens. This high handed
outrage IS well calculated to arouse the in-
dlgn.tion OF Our long-sufTering people, but
| assure Them this daring act of the board
can have no legal force whatever. l appeal
to you, therefore, in the fullest 1niience
that the appeal will not be unheaded; that
you will still maintain, even under that
provocatinn, your character as an orderly
and law-abiding people. During the past
exciting CANVASS you have studiously
avoided even semblaEce of purpose to
disturb the public peace or trsnsgress the
law. Your cause, and it Is the cause of
constitutional government of the country,
has been carried to the highest court of
the State, and we are willing to abide by
its decision, feeling assured that this tri-
buual will see that the laws shall be en-
forced and justice secured.
