The Pickens sentinel. [volume] (Pickens, S.C.) 1871-1903, 1890-10-09

N poiu Stanu would at any time have I
hecked this, down grade party. The
ight is harder than in 1876 because we
lave waited too long. But it is never
100 late to do what is right. There are
many good men who have been for
'the change" rs it is called. who would |
have affiliated under very different lead |
ers and on sound principles if tho men !
whom we have hOuOrCd and Mr.. Till !
man has maligned-thG men who have
represented us and conducted the goY-
ernmcnt since 1876. and the men who
redeemed the State in 1876, could have
thrown off the "race" terror and h;src-
garded the same and TindicatCd the
principles of our true Democracy.
But the same timidity, honest, but
mistaken, which SO nearly suppressed
us in 1876, had too much TowcT in the
recent canvass, and though heroic cf-
forts were made by Il few, the many
were silent and refused to grid on their
armOr because il seemed to he inferno
cine war. Better that than to SurrCu-
der principle and endorse by u vote the
| blackcSt and most UnfOundC0 charges
that have ever been made against the
State.
| This brings me % the last point: $50
| far rs my brother is concerned you may
state in the strongest terms that his
nomination hy the Republicans was
un>nught by him, and that nc is averSr
| to any such CGalltiOn.'
no such nominati0n has been sought
nor has it been made. The sentence
taken 10y itself may be entirely correct,
! but in con junction with the preceding
| produces u wrong impression. or
course, cannot seek or accept Il nOmi-
nation hy the Republican party, for
am not " Republican; 10 more could
accept nomination hy the Tilman
| party, because its platform is rs anti
| Democratic as is the Republican plat
! form.
But will not avoid the issue, and
will speak the truth as plainly rs can.
No man more than myself drplorcs the
exercise OF suffrage, or | should SAY the
II puts til" weaker in conflict with, the
stronger. The inevitable result where
the AnglO-;IIXNn race meets y weaker
is SUhju|HtjOm. From 1868 to 1876 the
weaker, ted hy white mru, backed by
arm"d force, oppressed the stronger.
In lNb lhC position WiG, reversed. and
THIS state assumed tn" attitude held hy
Other Snut NtHtv---th" white race
dominant and th"rWlugCd race with the
Huitr"T" nHiur!!N passive. This C1ndi-
tiun is anomalous and can only hc con
