The Gathering Of the Democracy.

The democratic demonstration last Friday
was grand success, and fully sustain a'L.A
siasm and ardor. Not less than 1000 persons
were there, and the mounted red shirts paraded
over 500 strong. One person told us he counted
one hundred colored men in red shirts mounted
and on foot. The Ladies' had handsomely

They arc not Candidates.


1t was announced from the stand. bv o %
Speakers at the democratic meeting last FRI,
that Mr.. John d. Long was not candidae, al
though nominated by the Radical con'ention.-
Some days before that we were told the ssEnrc'by
O gentleman who had conversed with Mr.. Long
about it. We had always supposed MIR. Long
TO be true democrat, but do not remember hav-
ing any conversation with him on that subject
He hos now set himself right before the people, as
many told us he would. There too much OF the
true stern man about him to be used as a cat $
paw for Radical political aspirants to hoist
themselves into office with. Mr.. Long will use
his great influence for the democratic ticket.
1t will also be, seen that Maj. Tench is no Ion
ger q candidate for the Senate upon Mobley's
ticket. The Major has some peculiar Politica
notionsabu but heikaman of too much intelligence
and pride, and too truly o straight-out demo
crat, to rub upon such piebald ticket as the
Radicals have put eout. He is man of more
than ordinary education and intelligence. an'
the time may come when the people will kno"
and appreciate him beter-but not from Kadi
cal standpoint.

Nv Vote shan't Elect Him.

The above is what we heard longtime dem
ocrat say, few days ago, about certain can
didate on the democratic ticket Now, We are
satisfied that that man would suffer his right hand
to be cut off before he would cast vote for
any candidate on the radical ticket. He is too
true O man TO do that; but we ask him what is
the difference between voting fer radical and
"scratching'' the name of candidate on the
democratic ticketH We can see but little. You
don't vote against tfie rsdics; fsdrasohiss.the
democratic ticket, that's sure, and by not voting
for the democrat you reduce his vote that much,
which rs as good as o vote for the radical. You
can defeat democrat and elect his opponent
just as easily by, not voting for him as by voting

SWIMMING the neyil for a Witch.

Those democrats who allow their preju-
dices TO so Var control their honest convictions
of what is their duty to their County, as to
cause them 10 vote fer any candidate upon the
radical ticket, in preference to any one on the
democratic ticket, will certainly swap the devil
far witch, and will be ashamed of 1t directly
their votes are put into the ballot box
They will feel that they have turned their backs
upon the democrats Of Union County and given
so much of their lcountenance and aid to that
party which they know has robbed, oppressed
and disg raced the State. There is not q candi
date upon the democratic ticket who is not Q
better man, morally and intellectually, than any
man on the radical ticket; and how any demo
crat can hesitate in deciding as to which t'
vote for is mystery 10 US.

Radioal...Demooratio Nomintions.

Radical Democratic Nomintions.
The Radicals throughout the State evidently
believe their case to be hopeless. In many of the
strongest Radical Counties they have made
County nominations, but in no case have they
dared to run straight radical ticket. In order
to give respectability and strength 10 their tick
cts they have sandwched them with democrats,
without even saying to the latter, "by your
leave, gentlemen" and in almost every such
case the gentlemen whom they would thus dis
grace have promptly and unequivocally refused
to accept the nominations. A few gentlemn:: Of
influence in Charleston, only, appear so anxious
for Office, particularly seats in the Legislature,
as to allow their fair names to be tarnished by
running upon the Radical ticket, among some
of the most ignorant and worthless Radical
negroes, and nominated ty q negro Convention.
We cannot believe that such man rs c. G..
Memmnger will allow his name to stand among
the motley crew. He must know that the prestige
Of his name will endanger the success of the dem
ooratio ticket now before the people Of Charles
ton, weaken, if not entirely destroy, the demo
cratic party in that County, and give hope and
strength to the Radical party throughout the
State.
When such men encourage detection in their
OWE party, at such critical time as this, upon
whom can ne rely hereafter in times of great
danger to the State. We can tell Mr. Mcmmiu.
ger that if elected upon that ticket he will find
he has sacrificed his good name and all his
influence among the true democrats of the Leg
islature, to obtain a seat in that body. 1t will
be a sad end to q long life of honor and devo-
ton to the best interests of the State
The Radicals in Lancaster have thrown up the
sponge--about half the colored men have come
over to the Democrats.

THE EFOURTH ANNUAL FAIR.
1T RAINED ALL THE FIRST DAY.
Hundreds Prevented From Coming.
FINE DISPLAY OF HORSES.


Unfortunately for the success of our annual
Fair cold rain commenced early on Tuesday
morning which continued until about daylight
the next day, and then cleared off slowly, with
indications Of more rain, until too late for hun
dreds in the country to come in with their arti-
cles and stock for exhibition. Notwithstanding
this unpropiticus opening, the exhibition
far from being failure. True the exhibition
in the Agricultural department was quite mca4
gre, but we know of many who had prepared
articles for that department, and we are conf
dent the rain only kept them away. In the
household and Fancy department the exhibition
was quite creditable.
The cattle department was a complete failure.
In Hogs and pigs also there was O meagre
display. All, we are assured, on account of the
inclement weather, which prevented hundreds
from arriving
THE HORSE DEPARTMENT.
This was the finest exhibition, in numbers and
q~.aities, Of animuisywe ever saw in this State,
not excepting the State Fair.
All things considered, the attendance was
qu;.e large, particularly on the two last days.
The Concert given by the Ladies on Wednes-
day evening was great success. The Hall was
orc wdcd, and the performances were delightful.
At the time of going to press-yesterday noon
the horse racing and other closing exercises
of the Fair were in progress. Wehope to give
| o full report next week.
! President Thomson and Secretary Duncan
deserve much credit for their indefatigable ef-
forts to mako the Fair not merely fnan-
| cial success but credit 10 the County.

A Solid Vote and Victory.
In another column will be found an article
with the above caption, taken from the Charles

Notwithstanding June Mobley says our noti-
ces Of him has given him Importance and
strength in the Radical party-as the denuu-
citation of scoundrel always does with that
party-we tell our democratic friends that he
alone is running the Radical ticket in this coun-
ty, and every man who votes for it is nothing
more nor less than follower of June Mobley.
At republican meeting last Saturday, in San
tue Townihip, he made speech one hour and
three qu9ters long, to the colored people, urg-
ing themto vote the whole ticket nominated by
the Raditsa Convention on the 9th Of October,
and ope4y slated that If that ticket was sue
cessful, 4 even developed much strength, new

onndtssses slcSsia 1850. 9 is the'oniy man
of that party who is eanvassing for the ticket,
and he boasts tlat he will elect every man upon
it.
Now, the QUESTION to be decided next Tuesday
is, shall June nobley and his party friends gov
ern Union County again, or shall we elect hon
est and capable democrats as our representatives
and county Offices? If Juno elects his ticket
this yenr he will do the same in 1880, with
himself upon H. That is just what he is after,

There1s not a man now upon the RADICAL ticket

they are not candidates, therefore you cannot

they are not candidates, they say they do
not want your votes at this election. Those

voting with and for them, you encourage and

their vote in the State and find out how many
weak-kneed democrats they can carry in 1880.
