TO THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS OF YORK
TOWNSHIP.

By reference to certain resolutions passed
at special meeting of the Yorkville Demo.
cratic Club at the Court House, on Saturday
afternoon last, and published in this issue Of
the ENQUfRER, it will appear that every DEM
ocrat in the township, who is willing to abide
the action of the Convention, whether mem,
Der of the Club or not, is cordially invited
to participate with US in the choice of dele
gates. For this purpose the Club will assem-
ble at the Court House, at 8 p. NJ, on next
Saturday, the 2lst instant. Managers have
already been appointed to receive the ballots
of those wishing to vote, and to superintend
the election generally. This club is entitled
to FIVE delegates in the Convention, each of
whom must receive q majority of the whole
vote cast Five alternates are to be elected
at the same time and in the same manner. It
is the earnest desire of he club that it may
be represented by men who are the exponents
of the democracy of the township and not Of
any particular sect or faction. In making
our selection, therefore, We do not wish to
appear exclusive; we prefer rather to throw
open the doors of the club and to extend its
privileges to all who are desirous of acting
with US, feeling assured that the result will
testify to the wisdom of those who have In
augurated this movement. a, .
Let no one stay behind who feels any in
terest ia the action of the Convention. Par
ticipation in the election OF delegates will be.
get more interest still, and this in turn will
react upon the Convention, and make it to
realize all the more keenly the great respon-
sibility which devolves upon its action, and
to strive for the unanimity of sentiment which
is 50 necessary at the opening of the cam
paign. c. E. SPENCER,

The Red Shirt Campaign.
The Democratic campaign, under the
auspices of the State Executive Committee,
was opened at Newberry on Tuesday of last
week, the 10th instant. 1t is claimed that in
consequence of the enforced absence of Cover
nor Hampton, the number in attendance was
not so large as it you'd have been had the
Governors health permitted his presence.
The crowd, however, was quite large, inclu-
ding more than one thousand mounted men,
each wearing the traditional red shirt. The
asseo,blage was addressed by Secretary of
State Sims, Hon. D. Wyatt Aiken, Attorney
General Youmans and Lieutenant-G Governor
Simpson. Good order prevailed throughout
the day.
The second meeting of the campaign was to
have been held at Laurens, G. H., on Thurs
day last On that day the weather was so
inclement that it was found necessary to post
pone the meeting. The Executive Committee
will consequently, make another appoint
ment.
The third demonstration wac made at
Winnsboro, on Friday last. The number
in attendance was not less than twenty-five
hundred, including about one thousand
mounted men from all parts Of the county,
uniformed in red shirts. Of the red shirt ri.
ders. one fourth of the number were colored
men. Speeches were delivered by Lieuten-

ern cities, too, are responding to the call of
their suffering people, contributing to their
relief as their means permit. Savannah, Ga,

Galveston, $4,000, and other cities, from Vir-
