notice that the campaign, on The part
OF the Democracy, will open on thc
seventh of ScptcmbGr. Meetings arc
set for III different counties, and all
the incidents Of an active campaign
may be expected. There is no doub,
that there will he need OF something
more than mere MOV Of effort on
the part of the Democratic party. Al
ready thcrr is ample evidence that thr
Radicals will make fight all over The
STATE. IN Charleston the leaders arc
actively organizing. and seem to be
doing their hardest work in those
,oralit!cs where they have the best
chance Of succcss--in those sections
where tho negroes most largely out
number TIC whites. lii williamsburg

burg IL is plrpoScd To- rum n regular
l'a'lical ticket, modified, if possible,
by the intcrlartlinm Of trw disal(rcic,l
Democrats. In Aiken there arc sai,
I" ne number Of Garfield clubs, and
the Radicals arc otherwise alert. In
Darlington large Radical mcctin"
was recently held. and there is every
Indication OF some effort to put the old
lh"rh'nc again in working order. In
Chester, the leading white Radical and
carprt-hagGrr, &. e. Macoy, has or
&aniAcd, or tried to organize, the conn
~ cNcc'lvc committee, and il is quite
hE"'y That county ticket will be
nominated. In Marlboro, Ex-,Jn,!ssr
Townsend, Il former Radical Office
hotter, with some other politicians Of
t''e same stripe, and one or two dis
"'lrct'd Democrats, is pressing his So
called "indcpcnlcnt' ticket, and doinw
all he can toarray The negroes on his
sac. In PickcnS, q safe Democratic
county, the Radicals have tormsllv
put out ticket for the House of Rcprr-
Srhiatlrcs. In other counties thcrc
arc signs OF activity among the enemy .
Whlr'' hodr no good to the honest rco-
PIC OF The state. In Fairfield there is
u" ""'""'" sign of life among the
h'Er1cs, but we have no doubt th !.
leaders arc at work among them. dec

''S"ratcd the Senate for four wears
wants TO ,,ci there again. Prince Mar
"h' the most malignant negro in the
county and convicted thief, has his
eye on the House again, and is a bio
man among his dupcs. As to the
general policy of the enemy, it seems
TO be their intention TO nominate q fnll
state ticket. with Il county ticket
"iHrrvcr there seems to be q chonrc
OF success, and TO make hard iirh,
Tor all they can get.
IN 'h's condition of things, tho duty
OF the Democracy is plain. The party
organization should at once be nut in
INC same working condition in which
1t was IN the midst of the campoirn
o' 9eVc"'y-Six. Every club should be
ready ~ every respect for compo;on
work. Meetings should bc held fro.
qncn'ly and regularly. The issucs Of
the can'gaign, the dangers of the party
III State and nation, the best means of
routing the cnemy'should he come in
sight, the different policies to be uscI
d! Inc party as means of victory
'hcsc and all other matters PERTAINING
10 inc interest Of the Democratic porty
should be freely, fully and constantly
discussed. Most important of all Is
inc duty, on tho part of each club. to
put h,srlfin complete campaign or1er
rc""! to move at the first tan Of tho
party drum. This was done IN 1870
wien the difficulties ATTENDING ,bor'
ou&h organization were tcnfold "rc,,t.
CT than they arc now. The coll =,
