THE CAMDEN JOURNAL AND GEN.
GARY.

The editor of the Camden Journal
works himself up into an alarming
state Of excitement because we said
that we regard the sentiments OF
Gen. Gary as entirely inconsistent
with true Democracy, and calls upon
us to explain quickly what we mean
1t is with much pleasure that we
hasten to relieve the anxiety ofthc
journal. Instead OF the Oranrcburu
TINES budding and blossoming too
fast for spring" we fear hat the
'str;,ightoutism' of the journal has
risen SO high that it has forgotten
the platform Of the party. We would
advise YOU brother to look at the
chart, and take your reckoning once
more before YOU wander off too far
into strange seas.
An examination of the Democratic
platform and of the speeches Of Scna-
tor Hampton recognizing the politi-
cal rights Ofthc cOlOrcd man and in
viting him to participation in the
battle for good government, and a
comparison Of the same with the
uttcranccs Of Gen. Gary, would prob
ably develop the inconsistency of
which we speak, and show the editor
of the Journal at least, ''somcthing
new under the sun"
AS we have often said, VIC admire
much i'll Gen. Gary. We like his
boldncss and independence. lie is
clear-hcadcd and brilliant AS
legislator he has almost invariably
been found on the right side. and he
has had the honesty and manhood,
unlike many others, not to be afraid
oi being found in a minority.
For MI these things VIC like him.
but if his sentiments and uttcranccs
arc correctly reported, they are at
variance with the Democratic plat
form, both State and National, and
therefore inconsistent with true
Democracy. f we have been incor-
rcctly Informed we stand ready to be
corrected.
We stand by the Democratic plat
form and the promises Of Governor

In the midst of the widest confusion,
which lasted about an hour and a
half, the election was held, and after
the smoke of battle had cleared
away it was developed that the fol-
lowing were elected the delegates to
go to Columbia
:. l.. Duncan, D. a. Strakcr, +. A.
Webster, j. II. Livingston and Rev.
f. a. Arthur.
"A spirited contest WIS kept up a
long time between the last dclcrutc
and Christian Caldwell, which result
ed, as is shown, by Christian being
left out III the cold. This was a rather
hard blow upon St. Matthews, which
thus received no representation.
After 4 resolution by y. a. Strallcr
instructing the delegates to vote for
Grant delegates TO 90 to the National
Republican Convention, the Convcn
ton adjourned.
Webster of New England and
Strakcr Of Bermuda seemed to be the
ruling spirits. The same old hacks
came up on the surface, the names
being almost idcntically the same
that go to Columbia in every cam
paign. We wonder ifthc eyes of the
colorcd people who work in the corn
and cotton fields will ever be oponcI
to this fact. Will they ever sec that
the Republican party, as it stands in
Orangcburg County, is nothing else
but q machine TO run certain old
hacks into office?

THE RADICAL C0NN ENTION.
A Noisy Grew,

The Radical Convention which was
advertised i'll the "Southrrn Boom
met at the colorcd engine house in
our Burg on Saturday. The meeting
was called to order by County Chair
man Duncan. although it was Il very
short time that it was kept in order
The Secretary j. l.. Williams oi
st. Matthews having completed the
roll Of delegates, it was announced
by the chairman that the Convention
was organized and ready for busi
ness The permanent organization
was then effected by the election of
the same officers. 1t was then an
nolnccd hv the chairman that con
test existed between the following
delegates from Orangcburg claiming
seats in the Convention
f.. a. Webster. John THOMPSON.
ID. y. Strakcr, II. Anderson. {. Flrm-
ing, and ID. j. Amalicr. \ Committee
OF was appointed to investigate
the matter and report who were en-
titled to seats among the worthicS
1t was then moved that the Com
mittcc he confined To 20 minutes in
which to make their report The
Committee went out, and, instead Of
staying only 20 minutes, did not re
turn for over an hour, to report
compromise allowing each Of the
c3Htcsting delegates Il halfvotc. This
report being made, tho cntcrtain-
mcnt commenced in earnest rs soon
as the announcement was made that
til" convention was prepared to hear
nominations for delegates to 90 to
Columbia. Every body wanted to
make a little speech in putting up
his nominee, but nobody wanted to
listen. In the midst of the bcdlam
that In broken loose we caught the
following names of nominees
Christian Caldwell, :. l.. Duncan.
ID. =. S.rakcr, T.. \. Webster. j. II.
Livingston, Ellis Forrest, f.. L.
Arthur, II. III. Haynes and +. Simp-
son. Then came the side shows ON
the motion to close the nominations
y saddlc-colorcd delegate from Lewis.
Vile could he heard above the din
and confusion insisting tha! his seq
tion had been ignored. Delegates
were mounted on the backs Of
benches or on every elevation that
could be found haranguing the little
groups around them. In the mean
time the chairman was making him
self hoarsc trying to restore order
but to little purpose. The command
was repeatedly given to squat, but
there was no permanent "SuuattinT.' .

4 GOOD BEGINNING.

One cannot fail TO be pleased with
the enthusiastic and harmonious
opening of the Democratic campaign.

attended, and SO far as we know.
everything has been done with salts
faction and harmony. Go ON broth
crs as YOU have commenced. and YOU
m'y look for victory. The prospect
is bright with such a spirit.

A HIGH OLD TIME.

The RAIDS met in Columbia on
Wednesday, and, after the usual tur-
moil and blnstcr sent delegates to
Chicago to vote for Grant. Speeches
were made dcnonncing white Radi-
Gals, and Corbin was snubbcd. There
is a strong disposition to draw the
color line strictly.

The Winthrop Caucus.

MANY untrue statements have been circu-
lated about the Winthrop caucus to choose
delegates to the County COMMUNICATIONS
ing are the facts
1t was well known in town for months be-
fore the caucus that Mr.. Carleton was can
didate and would probably he nominated
The town committee in calling the caucus
issued printed notices which were posted all
over town one reek before it was held. Thus
everybody had the fullest opportunity to be
present; a large caucus was held. the deie-
gates were chosen by ballot and not dis
senting vote was thrown, although all the
chief opponents to Mr.. Carleton in the re-
publican party in Winthrop were present and
did not say one word against having Garlic
ton delegation sent to the Convention.
Thus the facts show that another gross
misrepresentation of a packed and secret
caucus fades into nothingness when the clear
light of truth is turned upon it.

Vote the straight Republican
BulldOZing.

Hon. John X. Lynch, a colored man OF
property, character and ability. who has
served in Congress, winning the respect of
his associates, is now the republican candidate
for Congress, in what is known as the "Shoe-
string District" of Mississippi. The district,
which, with a fair vote would give nearly if-
teen thousand republican majority, is now
represented by Gen. Chalmers, OF Fort Pill
low fame. The prospect that the republicans
will dare to vote, and redeem the district.
calls forth from the Maversville Spectator,
the organ of Gen. Chalmers, the following
indignant protest:
We understand that black rascal, John

to the colored citizens in his behalf We

have more respect for the feelings of the
wealth and intelligence of the country, if he
has none for himself Our citizens are now
at peace with each other. and to seek to dis
turb the present peaceable relations would
work hardship on our colored citizens.
As the democrats have murdered scores of
republicans in the campaigns by which this
district was wrested from the majority, it is
not difficult to define the form of hardship"
that will be visited upon the colored voters
if they seek to exercise their political rights.
A vote for DAVIS to-day is vote for free
speech and fair elections in every State.

The State Steal Pictured.

which tells the whole story. Plaisted and
pil!sburv. Garcelon and the tabulators, on a
solemn old jackass, are moving on Fort Gar
celon. Plaisted, with the rag baby and a
Bourbon bottle in either hand, clutching the
reins. points towards the State Capitol in the
distance. and asks an Honest Farmer, leaning
against rail fence, hoe at rest: hen
can | reach the State House, neighbour!
Ouoth Honest Farmer: "Never, my friend,
with that load" The fusion jackass has his
big ears labelled, one democratic, one green
back. The party binders are loose, and
doing Intellectual service. Pillsbury sits be-
hind Plaisted, with a Kingfeld scare in his
anxious face Garcelon clutches a safe en-
blazoncd Fatally defective-Maine and
Alabama while in the dexter hand of the
Executive is banner inscribed, "a free
vote. a full ballot and fair count" The

Altogether, this is Coombs best feat in his

A Frank Statement.

Colonel Fellows. made Il speech last
week which contained the somewhat re-
markable statement; 1--WE hope that
Maine will cast her vote with us for Han
cock but we can get along without you,
for we are going to carry the country. and
when we carry it this year we carry it for
all the time to come" That is equivalent
to saying. Give us victory on a free
count this year and we will have victory
on free count forever after The
Colonel is As frank as Wade Hampton. and
as truthful an exponent of the purposes Of
his party. But the voters of Maine will
see to it to-day that the State speaks
against democratic count-outs and State
Steals, by burying Plaisted under rous-
ing republican majority.

Having before them several tempting invita-.
tons, this company decided unanimously to
come to Bangor, and to help swell the COL
umns that were fighting against rebellion in
the Fourth District. The Augusta Zouaves
were accompanied by the Augusta Cornet
Band, twenty pieces. which stands second
only to the Bangor Band, and that is compl.
ment enough. The Hallowell Zouaves came
100 strong, a company organized but day
or two since, with c. w. p. Osgood, Captain;
Nathan Niles, First Lieutenant; Augustine
Lord, Jr., Second Lieutnant. The uniform
was about the same as that of the Augusta
company, with the exception of blue caps
and trimmings. This company is made up
of the young and vigorous republicans Of
Hallowell, a fine looking body of men. They
were accompanied by the well known Hal
lowell Band of eighteen pieces
