Senator Butler Indignantly denies
the published statement that he
knew of the use of tissue ballots in
the recent election in South Caro-.

of such thing until long after the
election. Furthermore, l know that
to carry the State, or any district, by
fraud Of any kind, was no part Of the
plan of the Campaign Committee of
my party. They did not authorize
any such tactics, did not connive at
them, or even know Of them. If
ballot-boxes were stuffed, it was both
wicked and unnecessary, and it can
not be that it was done to any con-
siderable extent. There was no
trouble about our having things our
own way, except the difficulty of get
ting our own people out. For this
purpose only it was necessary to re-
sort to barhecues and uniformed pro-
cessions, The Republicans scarcely
went through the fOrmof opposition. :"

The Solid South.

The Solid South.
Sometime ago we had an article
upon the "Solid South" which some
of our Republican friends took Occa-
sion to dcnounce as "incendiary" and
Unreasonable" If, in this article we
utter that whit to the eye of these
@oialo fellows, may look like treason,
they will make the most Of it. The
bloody shirt has been for years, the
weapon used by the Republican
party to frighten the timid people Of
the north. There is no real danger
in that soiled rag, any more than
there is danger in a toy gun, but de-
signing and selfish republican poll
ticians affect to believe that it will
again be hung at the door.post Of
every northern home if the country
should fall into the hands of the old
and honored Democracy, and by bold
assertions and outrageous lying in
their newspapers endeavor TO induce
the unthinking voters Of the north
to support them in Office, as if they
are the only statesmen in whose
keeping the country will be Safe
Now that the people have become
accustomed to seeing the bloody
shirt Haunting in the breeze, they
are no longer afraid of it. The "sol-
id south is now the cry of Chandler
and other Presidential thieves, who
hope that the cry will be taken up
by the masses, and in the general fear
their frauds and audacity will be
overlooked, and they will be kept
in place by swindled people. 1t is
like the cry of "stop, thief!' started
by the real offender. This weak
dodge may dclude for a while, but
the defrauded and outraged people
will soon awake to their real danger
and discover that the offenders are
those who have cried the loudest,-
When they do awake and come to a
true knowledge of the situation they
will hurl from place and power those
false servants and save their almost
ruined country from the grasp of the
betrayers.
The south has suffered long and
patiently the wrongs that have been
heaped upon it by the daring and
unscrupulous politicians who have
for years had control of it and the
general government. 1t has been in
suited, robbed and despoiled long
enough. Atlast its people have sha.
ken themselves loose from the iron
oppression so long endured, and by
lawful and peaceablc means have as
serted their rights. The victory over
oppression and wholesale robbery
has been nobly won at the ballot box,
Once more the south has taken its
proper place in the nation, and Il
generous people will maintain it
there. The howl of "solid SOUTH
will not have the effect contempla-
ted by scheming politicians whose
day is almost past. When the smoke
of the battle of 1880 shall have clear
ed away the west and the south will
be seen clasped hands, forming tri.
umphal arch over the newly elected
Democratic President and Vice Pres.
idcnt, and the country will send up
one long, loud shout OF praise to
heaven for its delivorance from ruin.
