THE RECENT ELECTION.

Elections were held in Indiana, Ohio and
West Virginia on Tuesday Of last week.
Indiana and West Virginia elected Govern
ors State officers and members of Congress,
and in Ohio inferior State officers and mem
bers of Congress were voted for.
Indiana voted Republican, as also did
Ohio. In the former State, returns from S5
counties give net Republican majority of
$3.50. The counties to he heard from are
Hancock, Noble, Perry, Upton Spencer and
Union, all of which are Democratic except
Union. These counties gave in 1876 a net
Democratic majority of 1866, which, if there
are no changes from that vote, would give
the Republicans a majority on the State
ticket of 5,325. The contest in the Fifth
District is very close, and will require an
official count to determine the result. The
Republicans claim it by small majority
which would give the Republicans nine to
four Democratic Congressman. From the
most reliable returns, the Legislature will
stand: Senate 25 Democrats; % Republi.
cans; House 43 Democrats 81 Republicans
a majority of IA on joint ballot.
In Ohio, returns from "a out of SO coun'
ties, show Republican gains of 1859, and
Democratic gains of 6,7Sl over the last elec'
ton. The Republicans, besides electing
State officers, elect fifteen out of twenty Con
gressmen.
West Virginia went Democratic The
Democrats claim the State by from 10000 to
$4,000 and the Chairman of the Republican
State Committee comedies it by 5000. 1t
will take several days to settle precisely how
the State has gone, as no reports Of any con-
sequence have been received from the Kanaw'
ha Valley region, where the Greenback vote
was principally cast. Melvin and Mcconnell
ly, Republicans, are elected Judges in the
First Circuit The Legislature will be Dem
ocratic in both branches.

siderable length upon general subjects of for
eign fields for American industry and trade
He referred particularly to Mexico as the
country which offered great inducements to
American enterprise, and gave the results of
his recent observation in that country and the
substance of his private conversations, with
many of its leading men. He said he told
the Mexican people that their fears of the
forcible annexation of portion of their terri
tory by this country were groundless, now
that slavery had ceased to exist in the South,
and that they had everything to gain by
cultivation of closer commercial relations
with the United States. Gen. Grant express
ed the opinion that Mexico could produce
nearly all of the two hundred million dollars
worth of tropical and semi.tropical products,
which we import mostly from other sources,
and would take our manufactures in payment
therefor, thus greatly bene6tting both coun.
tries.

WASHINGTON, D. c., October 18.
To the Hon. Wade Hampton, Columbia, s. @
SIR have to acknowledge the receipt Of
your note of the 1st, handed me unopened BY
Mr.. C. Mckinley few moments ago. After
my return from the West l had this morning
read what purported to be an extract of q
speech made by you and published in the
Ne,us and Courier, and upon your general rep
utation had denied that you made such Il
speech or written such letter as is attribu-
ted to you in that paper. What I stated to
you in my letter of the 2lst of September, 1
believe to be true Notwithstanding your de.
nial, and it can be shown to be true by public
records and as matter of history. As you
had, long before your letter was delivered to
me, seen proper to make public statement of
your views of the correspondence, will give
it to the press without note or comment, and
let the public decide between US. Very re-.

YORKVILLE, S. c.:
THURSDAY ld0RNING. OCT. 81. 1880
PROMPT ACTION NECESSARY.

In the present election, more devoves upon
the upper counties of the State, perhaps than
many of the people imagine. Upon the et-
forts of the people of those counties success
may entirely depend. In recent speech,
Senator Hampton said that eff the great Dem
ocratic counties of the up.country do not think
it worth while to poll full vote, warn you
that when the lower tier of counties is reached
on the day of the election, we will be lost y
This warning should prove a stimulus to the
people of York, and cause them to take no
less interest in the pending campaign than
that of 1876, when the people worked as
with one resolve to free themselves from the
robber band, and when each man felt that
success depended upon his own individual eft
fort. This feeling, actuating every voter, i'm
pelled him to 60 to the polls on the day OF
election, and the consequence was the people
rose in their strength and gained one Of the
most brilliant political victories on record
But with this victory of four years ago, they
cannot now afford to be idle. During these
four years the Republicans have only been
reorganizing their scattered ranks, and just
now they are specially active. At the latest
day they may spring State ticket. and with
organized cohorts may easily gain the day
while the Democrats are quietly at home not
dreaming Of danger.
In our own county, the Democrats have
opposition in two parties, which may, on the
day of election, act independently of each
other, or unite upon ticket in opposition to
the Democracy, in either case causing defeat.
In this Congressional district there are three
candidates openly in the field. The Repub-
lcan and Greenback candidates are both
zealously working, and it may reasonably be
presumed that their adherents are no less
active. The least detection on the part Of
the Democrats may lose their Congressional
candidate. Fifty, twenty-five, or even ten
votes might change the result. Then, not
only is it the duty Of every Democrat through
out the Congressional district, as also all the
Democratic counties of the up country, but
especially is it the duty of York, to turn out
as one man on the day of election, and work
not only to save the county, but the Congress.
sional district, the State, and may be the
United States. Let each and every Demo-
cratic voter feel that upon him alone this vast
responsibility rests. Then will victory perch
again upon the Democratic banner; but if
our own people are listless and idle on the
End of November, their banner, on which is
inscribed "Home Rule and Honest Govern
ment," may 60 dc WI in dark defeat.

HAMPTON AND SHERMAN.

On Monday last, Secretary Sherman fur
nished for publication the following CORES.
pondence, consisting of four letters, which
have passed between himself and Senator
Hampton, of South Carolina: ,.....
DAeGERs SPRINGS, September II, 1880.
To Hon. John Sherman, Secretary cfMe Treas
Iry: 1
S1E-Some days ago l saw a report Of your
speech at a conference held by the National
Republican committee at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, New York, and you were quoted as
having used the following language: "And
now you are asked 10 surrender all you have
done into the hands of Wade Hampton and
the Ku.klux, and the little segment in the
North that is called the Democratic party"
May I ask if you used these words, and if
you did SO, did you mean toconnect me di.
rectly or indirectly with what is known as
the Ku.klux Klap? Requesting an early re-
ply, addressed to me care Of Augustus Schell.
Esq New York, l am very respectfully,
your obedient servant, WADE HAMPTON.

after the parade it will move to the grove in
rear of Major Hart's residence, where the

Yorkville will be entirely suspended ON that
day. The stores will all be closed, and exer-

the day.

have the effect of weakening the Democratic
vote, to unite for the common good in defeat
ing the party that is guilty of every act Of
which the National Greenback party com.

movement, will consider we'll the points which
Mr.. HARRINGTON makes.

composed largely of sore-heads, and we may
fairly style any man who accepts such posi-
tion on it as disorganizer. In South Caroll'
ma there is no middle ground. The issue is
fairly and squarely between the friends OF
good government and its enemies. All who
oppose the Democratic party assist the Re-
publicans and are either their dupes or tools.
In either view they make themselves enemies
of good government, and deserve the condem-
nation which is meted out to the public en-
emy."

The Lancaster Reuiew of last week says
"Four out of the nine precinct chairmen of
the Republican party of the county. who, to-
gether with the county chairman, Charles
Jones, compose the county executive commit
tee. met at this place last Saturday. The OBJ
ject of the meeting of the executive commit
tee is understood to have been for the pur-
pose of deciding the question as to whether
the party will put ticket in the field in this
county. The feeling among those present is
said to have been very much in favor OF
making a fight. The possibility, however,
is-and our information is gathered from a
very creditable source-that the Greenback'
ers of the county will make nominations for
the county officers, and those nominations
will be endorsed by the Republicans"

DEMOCRATIC MEETINGS.

On Saturday next Democratic mass meet
ing and barbecue will be held at Rock HILL
A number of distinguished speakers have been
invited, and an imposing parade of Red>S Shirt
Democracy will be had. We are requested by
J, R. London, President of the Rock Hill
Club, to say that the banner awarded to that
Club as being the largest in the county in 1878,
shall be carried on Saturday by the largest
company of red shirts at that place; and on
Tuesday it will be sent to Yorkville to be car
ried by the largest company here
The meeting at Rock Hill on Saturday IS
preparatory to the grand county demonstra-
tion to be had in Yorkville Oh Tuesday follow
inc. the 26th instant, when it is expected that
the entire Democracy of the county will turn
out and give one day to the cause OF Home
Rule and Honest Government. 1t is the de-
sire of the County Executive Committee, for
the 26th to be the most magnificent political
demonstration ever had in York county, and
such it can be made. Every Democrat is ex-
pected to be on hand, and it is desired that all
who can do 80 shall come mounted and in red
shirts. Besides the stirring music of two
brass bands, there will also be eminent and
popular speakers them none less than
the gallant Hampton, who has promised to
attend. Senator Butler is also expected. 1t
has often been remarked that such demonstra-
tions as distinguished the year 1876 occur only
once in generation but if the Democracy
of York will only bestir themselves, it can be
shown that our people are equal to such emer-
gencies whenever they occur. That emergen-
cy is now upon them, and let it not be said
that through over confidence in their strength,
or from any other cause, they failed.
AS will be seen by the announcement of the
Executive Committee, there will be a grand
parade of red shirts through the principal
streets. The procession will be under the di-
recton of Sheriff Glenn as Chief Marshal, and

TO THE PUBLIC.

ROCK HILL, S. C., Oct. IS, IS8U.
NV name has been used in connection with
the so-called Greenback nominations of this
county, without my knc Wedge or consent. 1
am now, as I always have been, a straightout
Democrat, and therefore denounce any affilia-
ton with the Greenback or Republican parties
as slander upon my character and warn
the parties concerned not to trespass second
time. It is to be hoped that no Democrat in
York county will so far forget himself as to be
deceived by the name of party that has no
chance under the sun of ever coming into pow
er, and surely the Confederates have not for
gotten in this short time what becomes Of
paper currency which has no solid basis.
