The plan of small sections Of tlc C"c'.-
t. bringing out tliuir cl ice has reSullc
il giving us the names Of nearly four
tlmes rs ;::any as we need-all gool; men
But arc they in all cases "Oug best, mem"
for the particular services needed?
In how many eases arc good men pre-
vented from allowing their names to be
announce ID by the fact that one of their
ueighbcrs, more pushing than them
selves or with Il more active friend, has
been announced, and by the great labor
imposed by the present plan of canvass
ing the county. y service of hall
dozen sessions in the Legislature would
not be az, onerous and cxac.ing and dis
agreeable ~ orc canvass.
There is III special objection to any Of
the candidates already out, but for This
special service and on thi; special ocna-
sion, many voters in the County would
like {, have the services oil one or more
,f the men so kert back, even if they
have to take his nciyhbor also. And II
there was any way of asccrtaining thr
preference between the candidate already
before the people and tic one so kcpI
back, il is not ccriaiu but their choice
would be ;henow unnamed man, if they
cauld not have both.
These "bl It men" under the circum
st.,.,s,.' cannot HOW be brought ont 10y
individual aud unruncan,raicd inllu@nce
and effort.
70 bring thc;n ont, The people from IL
parts Of the Couasy should unite and
Nominate these mcn, nolIts, foic"s, and
let AL The people say whether they had
- serve us oy not. Let the people, al!
he people, bring them out.
There is NOW no way OF doing this bai
bya coavca.i IN OF somcs1r:. Then let the
voters OF each Township mot the club
in nj organized body as such! sclecs two
o: more true and good men, to meet to-
,cthor on the first Saturday in August,
~ nominate additional candidates to be
submitted to thc voters ut The primary
elections.

There is nothing in this sa a;sc,tion

p op!c the opportunity Of choosing in
the primary elections between them and
any other good citizen
The objection that may BE- urged to thi,
Sill .ges:iom TINT because i: is outside
tie party, it mqy cause Il split will b'
groundlcss. The party in the County is
already "split'' upon the Eighth Article
OF Tie Constitution, forced upon the con-
vcntion and the party by gag law
Tho masses of the Democratic party o!
Edgetield were honest in all the promi
scs they made when trying 70 make
proselytes during tho last campaign, and
they will not 50 back on their position
then If thc party leaders have done 50.
The spirit Of the article declares the
mission Of the party accomplished, and
that there Is nothing in tho future TO be
done by the masses but to vote rs the
leaders say. This is demoralizins.
The article places the Democratic par
ty inantagoniSm with the party oil
the State, and, as far as am informed
and believe, of every other Countyin the
State. It closes the door against all as
pi;au.s from the County for Gubcrnato-
rial dIlu OIIlCl CNCCuliNC 'iIiA' 'OltilN
Against all aspirants for U. S Senatorial
honors i'll tho near future-to all aspi-
rants for Judicial. Legislative, Congress
sional and Judicial Circuit hnnors.
The other Counties feel the need of the
help Of ail the prosclytcS they can make,
If ,rc dn not, and no convention is soin@
to nominate Il man from this County
weighted with ;his Eighth Article.
Whenever the people Of This County
have the Opportunity OF voting ON this
Article, they will repndiatc it.
When III ,t;imc comes, the aspir|nts of
this County for the above named honors'
and their name is Legion, who now 50
crmplacently chtmp The gag placed
i'm their mouths By their mnsicr spirit,
will denounco il with mouths so wide n
to cause the people to wander what kind
o. !, g.;. the hope Of Mha ogicc, co ll'
hue silenccd such mouths.
