LITTLE SALUDA, Oct. II, 1880.

MESSRS. EDITORS On Saturday
last there was rally of the unterri
fed Democracy of the Saludas. near
Sardis Church, in Edgefeld County.
The red shirts were IN line with bar
ners flying, led by Gen. Gary gu a
splendid charger. Col. 4. J. Cog
gans was Chairman of the mass meet
ing, aud after a few pertinent remarks
introduced Hou. Jas. Callison, the
Democratic nominee for State Sena-
tor. He was received with enthusi-
asw, and made telling speech full Of
wit and wisdom. Then came Talbert,
Denny and Ward, candidates for the
Legislature. Their speeches were
we'll timed, full of sound sense and
patriotism, aud well received. They
all urged upon the people the necessi.
ty of energetic action ou the part of
every man for the success of the
County, State and National tickets.
+. q. Bouhan, the regular nomi-
nee for Solicitor of this judicial Cir
cult, made good speech iii favor of
hiuself as against Mr. Hobbs, who, it
seems, is disposed to oust him if he
can upon the faintest shadow of plea
that Bouham was not regularly nomi
mated. We think Mr.. Hobbs show
ing in the shape of plea, is very H.
describsbly thin, besides the time is
not yet when mau outside Of the
party liues, under any sort Of pretext.
eau be taken up by the voters Of
Edge6eld.
Capt. George B. Lake, our Stock
Law candidate before the Primary,
being introduced, excused himself by
making a good speech. He said it
was unexpected, he was here in the
capacity Of a newspaper reporter, and
had rot thought Of speaking. lie
thanked the people, aud expressed his
determination to do all he could for
the success Of Democracy, from Hau-
cock down to Wilson Corley, cur can.
didate for Coroner.
DR.. VIM. Jennings assured US he
was a stralghtout- he did not
know what the word defeat meant,
especially in so lar as his own caudi
dscy is thereby affected, aud that he
had yet forty years Of life in which tc
work for Democracy, and of course lie
meant in which to be candidate ii
he liked.
General Gary being introduced was
greeted with yells Of wild delight,
He, after paying a Aattcring tribute
20 the yeomanry of this section, and
to our candidates for the General As,
seulbly, said he always regretted hav.
ing to refer to himself; but it had
been said, Gary was sore-headed. He
said he was not, that many other peo,
pie were worse disappointed thau he
was. He endorsed Hancock and En-
glish, and said that more than two
years ago, iu an upper County, he had
nominated Hancock; he believed then
and believes now that he is the right
man for the place-a splendid soldier,
without a stain upon his sword--a
man who had risen above the preju-
dices Of dark hour iu our national
history and proved himself to be a
lover of justice and constitutional lib
erty-a far seeing and patriotic states
man. He believed we could elect him
if We would do our whole duty. In
reference to the State ticket he said
he could not and did not endorse all
that had been done, for he was no
fusionist; nor could he endorse all the
men on the ticket, for he was opposed
to third -termers, and besides he dis
approved of certain acts Of some of
them. Yet, he said, We must elect
them-every one Of them we
could not afford to let them be beaten,
for our political salvation depended
upon the success of that ticket, and
he called upon the people to see to it
that Oh the 2nd of November every
man discharged his duty, aud that
Edgefe!,! must roll up her accustomed
majority for Tilluau, for the State
ticket and for Hancock and English.
He advised every one to keep within
the party liues and elect the whole
ticket, and work for the publication
of the party in 1882. He was, as
ever, straigh;out Democrat, and op-
posed to all fusions aud independent
ism, and that so far from being disaf-
fected or sore.headed, he had pledged,
and would pledge himself to work as
hard for, and spend as much money
for the success of our party as any
mau in Edgeaeld County, Or in South
Caroliua.
No! It is mistake if any one
supposes Edge6eld will play the lag
gard in this supreme hour Of our
country's necessity. We have too
