Inhabitants. The legislative, executive,
Judicial, penal and charitable and public
printing departments Of the government
are ncwrun on a tax Of ithree-q quarters Of
one esmill by the Democratic party, while
sthe same things cost three and one half
mills under the lowest tax levy ever
made BY the Republicans. The Demo-
cratic party has extended the provisions
4of Ehe Constitution relative to the home-
sstesd, 80 as to give to all heads of fami-
dies $500 worth of personal property, and
allow it to be claimed on crops by ten
sants who own no lands, while the pro-
VISIONS of the Constitution framed by the
Republicans did not authorize any but
Landowners to claim the homestead ex-
semption In crops. Our public schools
7 have been improved, snd the whole Of
5our public institutions have been better
Sane more econo omically conducted.
with these facts, which cannot be dis
putad, we feel that It is not asking too
much when We call upon every true man
! in Anderson County to go out on next
Tuesday and both vote and work for the
election of the entire State ticket nomi-
naSeds by the Democratic party. This,
5 however, is not our whole, and perhaps
ncs our highest duty. The Presidential
1 election now pending is of supreme inn
pcltaiiee to; the welfare of our people and
so the perpetuity Of the free institutions
of America. The Republican party is a
sectionals enemy Of the South, and to-
gratifY its vindictiyo hate has repeatedly
done giolence to the Constitution of our
forefafhers and set at defiance every prin-
ciple os human liberty. It has turned
loose, without o trial, revenue officers in
8 the hands of State Courts charged with
murder; asin Che case OF Alexander Mat
tison, who killed Davis, in this County.
EHo was actually taken from our Courts
and, asif to reward his murderous decd,
was given position by the Republican
party in the United States Post Office Do
spartment The whole purpose and ten
dency Of ofRepublicanism has been to sub
vert the Republic and establish nm EN-.
spire, and the shout which went up from
portion of the Republican procession
in New York about ten days ago truly
voiced the sentiment Of the party in say
ing, '.Hurrah for Gen. Grant, the first
King of America Monarchy is the
purpose Of the party in power, and, if it
is successful, we may look forrenewed in
suits and expressions towards the South
TO a,Hjliarize the American people with
nsrrpation and prepare the way for the
Inauguration of q King. Gen. Garfield,
the Republican candidate for President,
is an ardent Southern hater, and his pub
lie speeches arc wreaking with bitter and
vile SANDERS ard vituperations of our
people. It is matter of the last conse-
squence to US that he should be defeated,
and therefore we urge our people to de-
vote enough time and work to tho cam
paign to secure the largest possible ma
jority in Anderson County. This has
been the banner County of the State in
politics. To retain our proud position
we must hold up our vote aud keep dowr
the Republican vote. This can only be
done by good, earnest and patriotic work.
OF course, we expect every Democrat to
20 to the polls and vote the whole ticket,
but we especially urge that they will put
themselves 10 the trouble of working
with their tenants and acquaintanccs who
have not been acting with the Democratic
party. We urge that thero shall bc no
swapping OFF of the Electoral ticket on
any account, and that the whole aim and
effort shall be to secure at least four
Thousand majority for tue Democratic
party in Anderson County on next Tues
day. at least, let us all work SO that
when the day is over we can say wo did
what we could, and be able to claim q
share in the glorious victory which
awaits us.
By ordor of the County Executive
, Committee.
