Gratis to continue our power in tho State and
to got control in tlU National Government
Our only and greatest danger, rs wo have
before stated, proceeds from feeling oi
security and from want Of full appreciation
Of tho Democratic votes Of tho up country in
tho Presidential election.
After tho primary election all will feel
certain that our county officers arc snfo from
defeat and should the Republicans run no
State ticket. thon tho danger is that largo
number will not so to the polls at the general
election. Tho electors for President and
Vice President aro chosen by the voto Of tho
whole State and every Democratic voto Of
tho up country will bo needed to overcome the
negro Radical majority in the low country
The Radicals expect to carry this State in
the Presidential election and neither money
nor campaigning will be spared to this end
On tho other hand, with our intelligence and
influence, if properly cxertcd, wo can carry
the State and should do it. With New York
and Indiana, added to tho votes OF The
Southern States, Hancock will bo el ted.
OF course wo hope to carry Como ticut,
Oregon, Now Jersey, California q, oven
Pennsylvania. This makes no difference.
Let US unite and work as if tho whole issue
depended on the vote Of South Carolina.

leave no doubt in their minds that Mr..
Chas. Nellis, the republican candidate for

While he was member of the city council
he voted against every colored man who
was proposed for Office and has since 10
various ways shown his enmity for the race
in manner that can leave no doubt Of what
we say. The official record shows that on

PROSECUTING ATTORNEY.

Every citizen of Cairo upon reflection
must cOnceed the absolute necessity of
having anhonest, able and efficient prosecut-
ing attorney for the county. Without one,
situated as We are AZ the confluence Of the
two great rivers with half dozen railroads
terminating among ", thereby aifording
every possible faciity for oyerunning our
city with thieves and cutthroats, neither
life nor property would be safe amongst US.
Heretofore, We have been fortunate in hay-
Ing the office filed with men Of at least
fair legal attainmcntS but owing to the
fact that Cairo has an unusually strong bar,
our prosecuting attorneys have had great
difficulty, as is well known, in enforcing the
law, and protecting the people from the
raids of confidence men and outlaws that
are constantly coming among Us. In view
Of these admitted facts, can il be possible
that any good citizen, who really has ut
heart the well being and good order Of
society, the protection of life and property
in Cairo, desires to soc the position filed AT
the coming election, with q young man
who, though ever so worthy in other re-
spects, is maniiestly, wholly unqualified to
discharged the duties of the office!
1t may be thought by some OF our too
ardent republican friends, who entirely over
look the well being Of our own people that
a young man with but little reading and
no experience at all a, lawyer, sent US
from dry goods store by the generous
people Of Johnson county for that purpose.
will make good enough prosecuting at
torney for Alexander county. But we trust
the better class of the people will take a
more reasonable view Of the matter and in
casting their votes will be controlled by an
honest purpose to conserve the hest inter
ests Of the people Of this county by giving
their votes TO tho candidate vino is best
qualified for the position
Mr.. Lick, young man who has been al
most raised among us, by his good habits
and strictly upwright course Of conduct,

without regard 70 condition or color. has
fully won the universal respect and esteem

evil doors. AS an independent candidate
he asks the suifragcs Of the voters Of the
county for the office.
viii they conserve their own interests
and that Of the public at large by support
ing him for the office, or will they, from
mere partisan motives, support Mr.. Damron,
whom all well informed persons know to
be wholly unfit for the position and whose
election would be equivalent to general
