Another Complaining Letter.


We are very sorry 10 have TO publish
such letters as the following but we

Round-trip tickets TO the Rich

$3.50 q do not remember the exact

A Columbia special says: AT a recent
meeting of the Republican Executive
Committee, committee of five was sp-
pointed to present to Governor Richard
son preamble and resolution adopted
by the committee. and in the name Of
the Republican party demand repre-
sentation IN the management Of
the general election in this State.
Governor Richardson to-day sent
the committee his reply. 1t was
in substance that the elections in
this State were now tho faireSt IN the
world and were only corrupt under Re
publican rule. he would make no change
in the present order OF things, for he con-
sidored that 10 accede to the request of
the Republicans would not result in a
iairand peaceful election. He proposed
appointing as commissioners OF election
men Of standing, whose patriotism and
honesty could be doubted 10y none. In
conclusion he said the committee could
not make their demands in the name of
any organized party, as the Republicans
had been so dead in the State for years
past that their non-recognition as a party
was lustifiable.

INFAMOUS REPUBLICAN ISLANDERS Ex-
POSED.
Chairman Spier Whitaker, OF the
Democratic State Executive Committee,
received this afternoon q full report Of
the discussion between Oliver II. Dock
cry and W. II. Kitchen at Iaylorsylle,
which shows what assertions Dockgy
and his fellow Republicans will make
when they think no Democrats are at
hand to show up their false statements.
The report states that Thomas =. Deve-
raux spoke after an introduction by X.
Il. Linney, renegade Democrat. Deye-
raux attacked Judge Fowle, alleging
that he had received $1,000 from
the Republicsn ring which got
the specal-tix bonds IN 1865.
Dockery did not dare make such a
charge while Fowie was in the canvass
with him. and he has evidently inspired
Dcveraux 20 make Il now while ROWE
is elsewhere. Deyeraux also attacked
State Treasurer Balm.
He was followed by Thomas Settle,
Jr.. who characterized all Democrats as
notorious liars.
Dockery was the next speaker, He
renewed his assertion that IN the White
House Alrs. Cleveland had Kissed negro
women. He repeated again and again
this outrageous statement. Dockery' 5
speech was full OF venom and bitterness
Whcn he had spoken Linney gave sig
nal for the audience TO leave, but at this
moment ex-Congressman Kitchen, who
has been assigned to the duty Of
following Dockery. sprung on the
platform and shouted out: &" Make
Vay for the Infamous towards and
liars 70 get ont Of here. He
addressed thisremark to the retiring Re-
publican speakers. II caught the crowd
aud Kitchen held Lis audience for two
hours lie said he. as white man aud
q true North Caroluiau, would see that
Dockcry and his gang made no such
statements unjisputed. and that though
they refused bin division ot time he
wo1ld SEQ that he got every slime. lie
told the Republicans Stat the Democrats
would use tDc negroes as clubs to maui
the Republicans with.
Kitchens fierce and plain talk took
