LITTLE SALUDA, Oct. II, 1880.

last there was rally Of the unterrl-
fed Democracy of the Saludas, near
Sardis Church, in Edgefeld County.
The red shirts were in line with bar
ners flying, led by Gen. Gary GU
splendid charger. COL Z. J. Cog
gans was Chairman Of the mass meet
ing, and after few pertinent remarks
introduced Hou. Jas. Callison, the
Democratic nominee for State Sena-
tor. He was received with enthusi-
asp, and made a telling speech full of
wit and wisdom. Then came Talbert,
Denny and Ward, candidates for the
Legislature. Their speeches we're
well-timed, full of sound sense and
patriotism, aud well received. They
all urged upon the people the necessi-
ty Of energetic action ou the part of
every man for. the success of the
County, State and Natioual tickets.
r. q. Bouham, the regular nomi-
nee for Solicitor of this judicial Cir
cult, made good speech III favor of
himself as against MIR Hobbs, who, it
seems, is disposed to oust him if he
can upon the faintest shadow Of plea
that Bouhau was not regularly noml
mated. We think Mr.. Hobbs show
ing in the shape of plea, is very iu-
describably thin, besides the tune is
not yet When a uau outside Of the
party liues, under any sort Of pretext.
eau be taken up by the voters Of
Edge6eld.
Capt. George B. Lake, our Stock
Law candidate before the Primary,
being introduced, excused himself by
making q good speech. He said it
was unexpected, he was here in the
capacity Of a newspaper reporter, and
had rot thought Of speaking. lie
thanked the people, aud expressed his
J determination to do all he could for
the success Of Democracy, from Han
cock down to Wilson Corley, cur can,
didate for Coroner.
DR.. VIM. Jennings assured US ne
was straightuut-that he did not
know what the word defeat meant,
especially in so far as his own caudi.
dacy is thereby affected, aud that he
had yet forty years Of life in which to
work for Democracy, and of course he
mcaut in which to be i candidate ii
he liked.
General Gary being introduced was
greeted with yells Of wild delight,
He, after paying a aattcring tribute
20 the yeomanry of this section, and
to our candidates for the General As.
seu.bly, said he always regretted bav,
ing to refer to himself; but it had
been said, Gary vas sore-headed. He
said he was not, that many other peo-
pie were worse disappointed thau be
was. He endorsed Hancock and En-
glish, and said that more than two
years ago, 10 an upper County, be had
nominated Hancock; be believed then
and believes now that he is the right
man for the place-a splendid soldier,
without a stain upon his sword-a
man who had risen above the preju-
dices Of dark hour iu our national
history and proved himself to be a
lover Of justice and constitutional lib
erty-a far seeing and patriotic states
man. He believed we could elect him
if We would do our whole duty. In
reference to the State ticket he said
be could not and did Dot endorse all
that had been done, for be was no
fusionist; nor could he endorse all the
men on the ticket, for he was opposed
to third-termers, and besides be dis
approved Of certain acts of some Of
them. Yet, he said, We must elect
them-every one Of them-that We
could not afford to let them be beaten,
for our political salvation depended
upon the success of that ticket, and
he called upon the people to see to it
that on the End of November every
man discharged his duty, aud that
Edgefe!d must roll up her accustomed
majority for Tillman, for the State
ticket and for Hancock and English.
He advised every one to keep within
the party liues and elect the whole
ticket, and work for the purifcation
of the party in 1882. He was, as
ever, a straigh:out Democrat, and op-
posed to all fusions and independent
ism, and that so far from being disaf-
fected or sore.headed, he had pledged,
and would pledge himself to work as
hard for, and spend as much money
for the success of ou- party as any
nau in Edgefeld County, or in South
Caroline.
No! It is mistake if any one
supposes Edge6eld will play the lag
gard in this supreme hour of our
countFy's necessity. We have too
