To the Democratic party OF South Carolina
IA grave .erisie1n the 'Nisory ot6sr slate
confronts us. The life of our party is threat
cned. White supremacy in South Carolina
il endangered. What was predicted hut
hardly expected has happened. An lnde'
,endcnt movement has cen inaugnratrd
nm lndercndcnt ticket has been nominated:
and for its success in the impending election
n co,liIio,, ha- b,cn effected between the
Republican ,urty aud the d.scrtcr, from the
ranke OF tho Democl clncy
A su,sli gathering OF t'z"nS calling them
sclye, .taiShtout Dcu,ocrat', representing
at Il est only defeated mia rity of the
Democrats OF this state, has hcld conference
in Columbia in def nee rf the regularly
constituted authorities Of our panty has sct
nj naupht the action If The regular Demo
cratic convent ors held in august and Sep.
tcmbcr, have proclaimed var against our
Democratic leaders and nominees, and, to
lead them i'm this inic' nccnc strife. they
have nominated q full state ticket with JudEn
Haskell mt its hc,d aS their nominee for
governor.
vBy this action on their part, in opposition
to this action Of m overwhelming majority
of the Democrats of South Carolina, they
have ,cai thcm.clvc3 out Ut the 'arks "t
tho democracy by cnllsng upon the negro
against their white brethren, they have de
ella, ell themselves rca ~ TO Join hands with
the black man in pulling down and destroy
ing tho whi g mans government, and are
really and willing to see South Carolina
again under the heel OF The ahen tyrant and
the igncrInt negro.
..1hcy are, few of them men Of high
social standing and Of great roliic'l inilu-
eucc and cxpcr cncc some OF them men
whom th"ir state has delighted to honor,
nud who have flied high position ns reward

feelings of regret and disappointment that
VIC scs them voluntarily departing from onr
Democratic ranks and suhjccting themselves
TO the ccnsurcs so we'll expressed by Gov
crn?r Hampton when he said that au indie

party of South Carolina must defeat this
Independent movement. No loyal Democrat
