DEMOCRATIC HEADQUARTERS, !
NEwBEREY, S. c., Sept. %, 'S4.J
To the Democrats Of Ne,c6ewy County
Felloac- Citizens:
We are on the eve CT an important
political campaign; campaign which
involves the election, not only OF State
and County officers, but also the cleo
ton of President and Vice-President
of the United States, and q Congress
man from this our Congressional pis-
trict. In 1876 the Democracy OF the
State by one grand, heroic effort rolled
back the tide Of Radicalism and placed
the government Of the State in the
hands of her own people. From the
head-centre of corruption itself had the
sentiment gone forth that ''the civili-
zation OF the cavalier and the Puritan
was threatened" and ruin, political,
social and financial, appeared the i'm
minent result. Against this order OF
things our patriotic people arose in
righteous resistance, and with them
to resolve was to conquer. Since 1876
we have enjoyed the fruits OF our eff
fort. and to-day we can proudly point
to the improved financial status OF our
State and County. But not only have
we improved financially, Law and JUS
tice have been administered to all
classes alike, and no man can say that
his rights have been denied him. so
much has been the result of Democrat
ic control of State and County affairs.
Nav not the Democracy accomplish as
much for the Union by the same de-
termined effort? We have as our
Presidential standard-bearer Grover
Cleveland, who, in his administration
of government in the State Of New
York for the last two years: has cliat-
leneed the admiration of all honest,
thinking men, by his sincere and zeal
Gus adherence to honesty, economy
and reform. On the other hand we
nave as the opposition candidate,
James G.. Blaine, the exponent OF all
the tenets, methods and practices OF
the Republican party OF to-day, which
are most distasteful to the Democracy
and all friends of good and honest
government. Shall this Republican
be elected President? II so, what
means the great Republican revolt in
the Northern States? Let MS Of New
berry County do our duty, and with
our brother Democrats of the Union
make one grand effort towards placing
the Democratic party in control OF
Federal affairs. In 1875, notwith-
standing Federal bayonets, we rescued
the State and elected Democratic
President. BY the force of existing
circumstances we were cheated OF the
President then elected. Now the Cir
cumstances are different, and if we
can elect our man we 1oiW inaugurate
him. Let every Democrat therefore
prepare himself to vote let him keep
his registration ticket in the right
place and on election day let him GO
to the polls resolved to vote the full
Democratic ticket from President to
Coroner. -.
On Friday, October 3rd, We will
have a grand Democratic rally in the
town of Newberry. Butler, Thompson
and other distinguished men will ad-
dress rs on the questions of the day
Come one, come all. Come with your
Democratic zeal, with your red shirts
if you will, and do not let the County
of Newberry appear lukewarm in the
effort to retain honest government in
the State and to secure it for the Union.
