WHAT THE HASKELL ORGAN SAYS.
In an editorial this afternoon the Re.
cord says:
"Perfect freedom Of thought has
come and to stay, though it may be
the ruin of the State. Nevermore in
South Carolina will the party lash
drive men into subserviency and to
command the votes of the people. Men
must be nominated who command the
love and respect of the people, else the
people will not vote for them. The bug
bear of negro domination has failed
and men have ceased to fear it, when
it comes to the maintenance of their
manhood and the voting for man

principles of Democracy go there are
just as good Democrats following Col.
Haskell as Capt. Tillman. 49,. There
are now two white mems parties, and
as far as loyalty to the State and sin
cerity of purposes is concerned they are
evenly matched. The only difference
between them is the difference between
the leaders. Choose ye which ye will
