Woodward, of Fairfield, the opponent
OF Colonel Evins fer tho nomination.
is fair representative of the interests
OF the people in the eastern section of
the District. Hence, Broad River NAV
be put down as the dividing line in the
District. While Colonel Evins has, no
doubt, faithfully represented al sec
fonS Of his district, nevertheless, It is
claimed by large number of the par
~ i'll the eastern section that, having
warmly supported and given the posi-
ton to the western section for the past
four Years. II is now but justice that a
candidate from tho eastern section
should receive tic nomination.
Again. 1t is not forgotten, That in
1874, a gentleman, the peer of any
man in South Carolina, Gen. JOS. q,
Nershaw, accepted the nomination at
considerable sacrifice TO himself, md
Notwithstanding the ovcrwhelmino

Ahe NOhlnntlOn In 1876,
The Spartanburg Herald, of which
Col. u. Stobo Farrow is editor, notices
Major Woodward's letter to General
Erwin, Of Lancaster, on the Congress
sional canvass. After saying that it has
nothing to do with the manner of Sc
Letting delegates in Lancaster, it con-
tinucS:
but we have right to enter a pro-
lest against the unjust charges made
6y Major Woodward against the men,
bcrs of the Congressional Nominating
Convention Of 1876. We were a mem.
bcr OF said convention, and we dcny
that Colonel Evins owed his nomina-
ton in 1876. to ''thc gambling process
rcsortcd to- or to "drawimg names
from Il hat" or that it was "drawn
like quarter of beef Mt a Shooting
imntch," or that che owes his nomin0-
ton in the first instance to luck" os
is charged by Major Woodward in his
card.
TO show the injustice of these
charges made by Major Woodward.
We have only to give the following
statement Of the facts in reference to
the action Of the Nominating Convcn.
ton OF 1876. The convention met IN
Columbia, and was composed Of dele.
gates from all Of the eight counties in
the Congressional District and was
presided over by Col. j. II. Rion, OF
Fairfield. The total vote of the con.
yention was 81, and 18 was REQUIRED
for n majority. The names of Colonel
Evins, Major Woodward and General
hcnnedy were before the convention
and the nomination was made by bal.
lot. We do not remember the cxac,
number OF ballots taken, hut give tho
result of the first ballot and all subse.
quent ballots in which there was any
change in results. On the first ballo,
Evlns received II, Woodward 10, and
Kennedy 5. Several ballots were talcr
without any change in result. Or

change, Evins received ID, Woodward
~, and Kennedy 6. The ncxt ballo,

The FEW RADICAL LEADERS WHO
did not run away from South Carolina
to escape the pcnitcntiary, arc making
lively efforts 10 rcsuscitate their old
circus and incnagcric combination.
They are poking up the animals so as
to get tremendous roar for Garfield,
but thus far have succeeded in raising
only n faint whine. Spartanburg
county apl cars to DC tho starting
point of their menagcrie business, but
why Spartanburg we cannot conceive.
That is tho unlikeliest place in the
world to accomplish anything.
A demand is mado by the faithful
for State ticket. Garfield is a little
too far of to stir up any genuine ell
thusiasm, and some local incentive
must be given. Thus far no patriot
hns stepped to tho front willing to
make the fight for tho sake Of snow
ing III on the fourth Of November,
even though II prospective postofllce
looms up IN the event Of Garfleld's g
victory. AS The postoflice depends
entirely in Gart;eld's success, which
is at present more than doubtful, this
may be an eXplana ton Of the unwill-
insncss to be sacrificed.
But 1t may be set down as assured
that before the end Of the campaign q
State ticket will be put up by the
Radicals if anybody can be found to go
upon il, and if the National Committee
will subscribe enough money to print
tickets. The Democrats ncod not be
too sanTninc ora walk over. That
they will win, no one for moment
doubts, but that opposition Of some
sort will be manifested, is US sure as
anything can be. 1t is we'll to be on
the alert.
