its candidate.
The Barnwell s. c. People de
clares very emphatically that
The Democrats I've obtained
control of the State Ga South Caro-
lima, and they intend TO retain it at
erau ho-ard and in spite of the ut
most efforts of local enemies and
their Northern allies"
The Democracy of South Carolina
having gained control of the State,
do not intend TO submit to the an
novance of an election contest, a
free ballot and fair count, every
two years. On this subject the
/ Greenville Is. c. Daiy Mars gives
the following Friendly Advice to
Radicals" "
Mr.. Spier, who acted as Chair
man of the first Radical meeting of
the approaching campaign, and his
/ political associates-Ni ilson Cook
/ and othcrs-would do well to take
advice. The white men Of the State
desire peaceful summer and au-
tumn. They are weary of heated po-
litical strife If they are forced to
/ vigorous action, il Will bceXcceding-
" vigorous-perhaps mpleasantly
SO. The mass of the colored people
are contented under Democratic
/ Government If they are aroused
to the support of an assortment of
/ thieves and malicious ignoramuses,
which Is the only style of ticket that
can possibly be constructed by the
Radical party, it viii only be by the
persistent and laborious efforts of the
leaders. On those leaders the con-
sequences will fall heavily. We
have tested kindness and concilia-
ton for four years some think too
much. If they are proved to have
failed the opposite means viii be
experimental with. The only con-
ceivable cause for their attempts to
renew almost forgotten strife and
subject the State to a renewal of the
scenes of 1876, is pure malice for
they know they cannot win. Those
who cause the trouble will suffer
most from it. Bear that in mind,
/ persons. colored and white skinned.
The contests sought To be forced
upon Us are not to decide questions
of policy or principle between OPP
posite political parties. They are
struggles by the real people of the
State for her life and for the protec-
ton of individual property, life and
honor, and general civilization, dur
ing which society is demoralized,
and material and other interests nee
essarily suffer. Repetition Of these
every two years viii not be submit
ted to. We reiterate our advice to
the veracious and reflective Cook.
and the argumentative and profound
Spier, to be careful how they 90. and

The Aiken { s. c. Journal and Re
Uie10 says
1--WE publish elsewhere a. an adj
vertisement letter to the public
calling for members for a Garfield
and Arthur" club. What this new
game of theirs is we have not vet
been able to see, but it is certain
that they intend to organize and
make fight for something. We
know Just where to direct our forces.
and should we not give the whole
Democratic ticket an overwhelming
majority it will be a disgrace. Since
the Radicals hare once more dared to
Shoio front we must again gointo the
fight and utterly annihilatc them.
For the people Of Aiken county we
/ pledge the Democracy Of South Car
olina that when November comes
there will not be enough of the Rad
ical party left in Aiken to act as
/ pall-bearers TO their dead ticket.
The Greenville 6. c. Daily Ncrs
gives the Radicals a second warm
ing in the following terms:
From now henceforth let thee
/ be no peace or liberation for the
public enemies who have abused
our magnanamity and spumed our
/ forgiveness. We mean that the
white-skinned man or negro who
deliberately enters the fight for the
national State ticket viii do so with
/ the understanding that he will here
I after receive no favor or recognition
/ from white men. Let them under
stand that there viii be no employ
ment for them. that from them the
last farthing viii be relentlesslv ex-
acted that the kindness of masters
viii cease. Any attempt to impose
upon us another Radical State Gov
ernment viii be as bitterly resented
as it deserves, and those who partic-
ipate in it viii have cause to regret
I it for the rest of their lives"
In the Memphis (Tenn.) 1lralaache
a voice is lifted up in thunder tones
for 4 free ballot and fair count.
viz:
White men who dare to avow
themselves here as Republicans
should be promptly branded as the
bitter and malignant enemies of the
South. The name of every North
em man who presumes in this com
munity to aspire for office through
Republican votes should be satura-
ted with stencil. As forthe negroes. :
let them amuse themselves. if they /
will, by voting the Radical ticket /
We hare the count We have thous-
and good and true men whose brave
ballots viii be found equal to those
