LANCASTER, s. c.. Aug. 11th, 1880.


Mr.. J. r. HUNTER. Sir:-Your
communication of to-day demanding
an explanation Of certain statements
made in my editorial in the LEDGER
of the 4th instant has just been re-
ceiyed. l am free to admit that did
allude to you IN both the sentences
quoted by you from my editorial. In
the Reriew of the 28ih of July was a
communication from you commenting
upon my editorial in the LEDGER of
the 18th Of July on the subject of the
Congressional Convention, in which
You took occasion to speak of me as
follows: at appears his motto is to
rule or ruin" In reply to this per.
sonal allusion by you felt justified
ut the time and in the heat of news
paper discussion to make the remarks
in my editorial of the 4th inst, which,
it.seems, have given you offence. /
regret now that either of us, certainly
that /, should have descended to "per-
sonalities in discussing question be-
fore the public" In nothing contain
ed in my editorial Gid / intend to con-
vey tho impression that you were
wanting in faith or zeal to the Demo
cratic party.
AS to my allusion to your course in
the municipal election Of 1873 in
which was defeated as candidate for
lntendant, it was made under the i'm.
preston that you had supported the
ticket headed by VIM. Nc. X. Mittag,
but / have since learned that you sup.
ported the ticket upon which / was
nominated excepting that you substi-
tuted Mr.. Mittag's name in the place
Of mine. This being the case, Mr..
Mittag, as have been since informed,
being democrat at that time, should
have made no allusion thereto.
1t is certainly not my purpose or
desire to do injustice to any one, and
when a wrong impression is made
through the LEDGER / feel that it is
honorable 70 correct such impression.
Respectfully,
ID. j. CARTER.

some local politicians h~eroabouts, who
knowing little OF the man, accepted the
nominee Of the Convention with that blind
faith that characterizes narrow-minded par
tisans. We predict they will have occasion
to modify their opinion before the close Of
the campaign.
With Grant a. . candidate the Republi-
cans could have. carried their fight into
Democratic strongholds, with every pros
pect OF success; Blaine's nomination would
have aroused his party to such q pitch Of
enthusiasm as would have demoralized the
Democracy in every Northern State; even
Sherman, backed by the money power and
the National banks, might have captured
New York, the objective point Of his party,
but under Garfield the Republicans will
be put on the defensive, and their time
will be fully occupied in explaining several
ugly passages in the political career Of their
leader.
The nomination Of Arthur, Conkling's
henchman, for the Vice Presidency, is as
remarkable as that Of Garfield. He is the
man whom Hayes kicked out of the New
York Custom-house in the interest Of ''civil
service reform" His selection is either .
slap squarely in the face Of Hayes, or an
admission that, although Mr.. Arthur may
be an unfit person to run . Custom-house,
he is fully qualified to act as presiding Off
Ger Of the highest legislative body in the
land.
We believe The ticket will be elected, but
it uill be due 70 the blunders Of . blunder-
ing party, not to any special merit it may
possess, for the man who claims that it is .
strong one is willfully blind or wofully ig-
norant.

The Times Washington correspondent
says on the subject: The President feels
dissatisfied with the Commissioner, not
because of his individual preference for

order Of the President in the matter. 1t

THE sur ON THE REPUBLICAN
PLATFORM.

Tbe New York Sun is happyin its criti-
r;sm Of the platform enunciatsd at Chi.
caco. The document was drawn by the
Hon. Edward P~ierrepont and others, and is
made up, the Sun declares, of platitudes
and f~alsehocds.
nThe intelligence Of the nation" says
tb,. platform, els but the aggregate OF
Az intelligence in the several States; and
the destiny Of the nation must be guided,
not by the genius of any n State, but
bv the average genius of ALL" That, and
much more stuff Of the same sort, is sol
emnly put forth as . statement of the
PRINCIPLES which are to guide and in
spire" the efforts Of tho Republican
party.
Now for = few specimen lies
"The Republican party suppressed. a
rebellion which had armed nearly a mil
lilo Of men to subvert the national au-
thority." No it didn't. The loyal peo-
ple Of the Union suppressed that rebel
lion.
ut has raised the value of our paper
currency from 81 per cent. to the par Of
gold" No it hasn't. The credit OF the
nation and the industry Of the people
have brought the currency to par.
ut has restored upon a solid basis pay
ment in coin for all the national obliga-
tions." No it hasn't. It has stood by
while the laws of trade have operated.
ct has paid $sss, 900. 0Ooof the public
debt" No it hasn't. The people Of the
United States have paid the money. And
but for the monstrous dishonesty Of sue
cessive Republican administrations the
public debt would have been further re-
duced by hundreds Of millions, or the
burdens Of the people would have been
less by hundreds Of millions-the hun
dreds Of millions wasted and stolen under
Grant.
eve affirm that no further grant Of
the public domain should be made to any
railway or other corporation" You af-
frmed the same thing four years ago and
eight years ago. and kept on giving away
the public domain until the people made
you stop.
"Slavery having perished in the States,
its twin .barbarity, polygamy. must die in
the Territories" You pronounced its
death warrant four years ago. and have
not raised . hand to execute the sen
tence.
History will honor Rutherford B.
Hayes That is . lie.
1.-THE reform in the civil service shall
be thorough, radical and complete" You
promised it in 1872 and in 1876. You
will keep on promising it as long as the
promise wins the votes Of fools.
The real platform Of the Republican
party was enunciated at Chicago, not b,
the Hon. Edward Pierrepont, but By
M Flanagan Of Texas. 1t is truthful
and brief What are we here for ex
cept to get oficei"

A gentleman of mathematical turn of
mind has presented in the Boston Post
this view Of the probabilities Of the cam
paign, in connection with the vote of New
York, which is, as everybody is aware,
the pivotal and controlling State. and
without which no candidate, on either
side, can have reasonable hope of an cleo
ton. The Post thus gives it: In 1875
Samuel J. Tilden carried this State with
b2l, $40 votes in his favor, being . major
ity Of 80. 742 over the Republican candi-
date, Hayes, whose vote was 489, 207; the
total vote, with scattering, being LOIS.
502 votes. In the Governors election,
in 1879, the total vote thrown, including
all thrown for Cornell, Robinson and
Kelly, was ST., 923. or l43, 759 less than
in the Presidential contest between Til
den and Hayes. Comparing the highest
candidates on each side with the Presi-
Dental vote. 1t Is apparent that in 1879,
54.0l9 Republicans and 1899 Demo-
Gratis did not turn out and vote for any
candidate. Comparing the Presidential
vote of 1865 with that Of 1875, the effect
of the eight years Of Grants dynasty in
New York was to make the Democratic
gain net four per cent. Of the total Demo.
cratic vote over the Republican gain in
the same time. Grant was q slow horse
In New York, and got slower every year
during his eight years. What comfort
can Republicans draw from the Kelly
i~mbrogliof The figures don't show . ray
Of hope for them. Assume the ratio Of
increase in the vote as il was from the
time they tried Grant in until they tried
him out, and the Democratic vote that
stayed at horne ia 1879 should be los, 480.
Add this to the Robinson vote ts75. 1907
Isl. go, and it is apparent that. should
1000 Of thess who voted for Kelly abide
with or vote the Democratic Presidential
ticket. it viii sweep New York State in
triumph. In another form Of stating the
same proportion, unless the Republican
candidate can carry 70, of the ", 500
who voted for Kelly in 1879, he or II has
no chance to carry New York evon il the
entire Republican vote-scratchers' roll il
conceded TO him.

The police we're notified yesterday
that the bayou bridge on Linden

away by the late rain. This proved
to be a mistake, though a large por-

had caved in. The street at that
point now presents a dilapidated ap-
pearance. A whole flower yard on
the north side fell in some time ago,
and remains so yet.
