evils OF Democratic rule in South Caro-
ma J. we can never. lot the State 20

liars that compose the Radical party.
we have too many determined white
men, too many honest cOlored men,
TOO many swccthearts and little boys,
all in red shifts, ever to let the heel
of Radical depotism get on South
Carolina again. [Chccrs.] I'll give You
an example Of the way in which white
Democrats help their colorcd friends.
Last year, Mr.. Edward p. Muhtey.
whom you all know, came to me and
told mo if l would undertake the
defence ofAbo Jennings (,l colUred
man who, think, is in rcd shirt to-
daN) on the Charge of murdcrNhe (Mr.
MoDloy) would guarantee nc one hum
drcd dollars. l did so, and Abe was
acquitted. This is the way the Demo
Gratis treat their friends. It is better
to have friends. Joe Rains, Il color
cd Domocrat: eyes, they'sa great item
in this couhtry."] When you: get in
trouble, go to these same throat
Democrats, and you will always find
them yoi'lS trnest friends. You have
heard OF rats leaving u sinking ship.
We'll, now, here's Il rat that has. coi,-
cludcd to leave the Radical ship and
put on a Democratic rcd shirt. Rats
are generally classcd among Radicals,
because they arc such great thieves
but here is one that is going to try to
be honest. Laughter. Now, ir rats
have got to putting on the rc,l shirt,
why OF course every honest white and
colorcd man ought to- tlo the same
thing. IErats have that much sense,
good 'st,ersio,tglft to follow their exam
ple." The colorcd people must range
themselves with the white people, and
vote the Democratic. s'tnte and Nation
al tickets. The Radical, leaders tell
you to vote their Congressional and
Electoral tickets. But If you want to
go with your best friends, and if YOU
want to be on the winning side, vote
the whole Democratic ticket In 1872.
Horace Greeley, the great Abolition
ist. and tho warmcst friend the colcrct}
people ever had, was nominated by the
Democrats, but the colorc,l pconlc,
under the advice Of their bad leaders,
refused to vote for him. These lyin~
leaders said that Horace Greeley was
nothing but q Democrat anyhow, and
the co!orcd people were foolish enough
TO believe this. Who arc running
Hancock now? The honest men all
over the country-both Democrats and
General B. F. Butler,
known friend of the colorcd men, sup
ports HANCOCK, beCai.se he believes
that he can and will do moro for them
t!an the Republicans have done in all
the years of their power. John W.
Forney is another true and tried Re-
publican who supports Hancock. So,
my eoiorcd friends, we must all unite
TO elect this great man President. Put
on the Democratic rcd shirt. like our'l
rat hero. Leave the crowd Of Radical
thieves and officc-scekcrs. We must
live i'll harmony and drop all discord.
we must live in" harmony, and we
must support that party which will
surely bring peace to us all-pcaec to
the North and TO the South, to- the
white man and to the black man-
peace and goodwill to this whole
Union iEcVcry nook and corner Of the
land. Prolonged chccrs.1
Tho Chairman then introduced CN.
Cad. Jones. Of YORK., tho Democratic
for Presidential clcctor from
this district. He was followed bv
Col. Jno. II. Evins, our present and
hc%t Representative in Congress.
Both these gentlemen mado pointed
md entertaining addresses, which we
regret that We have not space to pub
lish. They were listoncd to through
out with close attention, and were
loudly applauded. Ifapcated7N calls
were now made for General Kennedy,
who asccndcd"tle stand and made
short speech which we think was one
Of his very happicst efforts. He was
frequently interrupted with laughter
and applause; ANA wllcn:hc closed was

ADJoURSING THE MEETING.
The speeches being over, Major
Woodward, after thanking the county
for its magnificent display and plcdg-
ing Fairfield foy q rouising Democrat
ic majority III November, declared
tho meeting adjourned. Just about
this time rain drops began to fall and
tho assembled multitude started I'D
town at a-liyely speed. Four-fifths of
the crowd left for homo, but q number
remained for some time. Towards
the latter part of the day it became
somewhat noisy and number ofincip-
lent fights were qucllcd by the cxer-
tons of friends. Fortunately tho crowd
was generally good-natured, and no
serious disturbances occurred, although
