tensively circulated amorg the color

ghai rooster airing his lungs with
hearty crow. The circular looks to
warm contest in 1880, and the Dem
Gratis should be prepared to meet any
emergency. Democratic rule is the
only hope for honest government III
South Carolina. We deem it eur

publish the circular, and thus warn
the Democrats of impending danger,
that they may ward it of in time to
prevent danger to their organization.

We give this good ncws to, you
down;rodden Republicans OF, Splth
Carolina. Tile Democratic. party says
the Republican party is dead they

are wide awake and don't expect to
go to sleep any more until ths Re
publican party. is triumphant, everyr
where. The Republicans Of the North
will ncter submit to be governed by
the red-sbirted Democrats. of South
Ca. olina. Tie history or tile Demo-
cratic party vii. never be forgotten
by The Republicans. AS it happens
we know something about the history
OF the Democratic party in South
Carolina. They have been anything
to get into power. e
/ will here relate little intidena
that happened in the North recently
There was little boy who had a pep
coon to sell, and he said that he
wouldn't sell it to Republican or 9
Greenbacker; soon q man came a.ong
and said: "Boy I want to buy your
coon" The boy asked: "What is
your poiitics?" II am Republl-
can" "Wcll, sir, you can't get my.
coon." Soon another man came,
along, and said to the hoy ~ want
to buy your coon." "Well, sir, what
is your politics 81 am a Green..
hacker, sir." "Well, sir, you cail'b
get my 'coon." Presently third
man came along who was Demo-
crat, and said: "Boy ] want to buy
your coon" swell, sir, what ID
your polilics?" "Oh, l am anything
| to yot tho coon 1''
That is the way with South Caro-
lima Democrats. When the war broke
onl they we're all Secessionists, and
got whipped in the war; and af,er
the war they changed their ,nate5.to
Democrats, and run d Democrat
against r. X. Scott, the Republican
candidate for Gobernor, and got beat
in 1868. And then they changed
their names to Rerormers, and run
Carpenter for Governor, against r.
*. Scott, and got beat in 1870. And.
then changed their names to Boilers,
and run for Governor Reuben Tom
linson against +. j. Moses, and got
beat in 1872. :,
Then they changed their naihes to
independent Republicans, and run
for Governor John T. Green againss
d. H. Chamberlain aud got beat in
1874. And then they changed their
names to Democrats, and run Hamp:
ton, the fraud, against D. H. Cham
berlain in 1876. So they are sny-
thing to get the coon or the office. ;.
Republicans Of South Carolina,
stand up! We expectftto !see that
your rights are protected and shat in
1880 We will see South Carolina once
more in the Republican colpmn.
