Of violence characterized the public !

could not be dccently and gravcly dis |

The women of this State, who have

moment, heSitated TO appear.
In addition to these bad methods the
uttcranceS of Mr.. Tillman have been u
wrong to the State and all our people.
His speeches have been Il tissue of false
charges, which every man who respects
truth or religion should condemn, not
in words alone. but by the power en-
trusted to his care, his vote ut the bal
lot box.
The right 10 vote is not only Il power
but Il trust, and when the vote is cast 1t
is the ssscrti on the part of the voter
that he believes the man for whom he
votes is competent and fit TO fill the
Office. 1t is vain to say that the action
OF IL political party eXrmptS the voter
from responsibility. His vote affects
not only his own rights, but the rights.
the safety and happiness of thousands
who are dependent on these votes for
the character for the Government uu-
der which they live. The ignorant and

enough to know the rights and duties
of Il citizen is responsible 10 his toun.

one whom he knows to be unfit and
UNIV orthy, makes himself accessory to
| all the wrongs committed by the officer
voted for.
We further Solcmnly allegc that B.
| II. Jillman and his associates Oy diVid-
ing our people, 10y inilaming the lowest
passions, by Scvering family ties, put
! ting father and son and brother against
each other, have done more harm and
! brought greater sorrow on the state
| than the sword or lire or the hand of
man in any other shape has ever be-

Uryd AMI rewarded FOR this terrible
wrong, nor should power be put in
their hands to p"rpetuato the wrong.
1t is Il terrible mistake to think that
| such WrOng-dO"rS ever stop of their
own will. We DO not declare hostility
against our fcllow-CitlZcnS, whatever
may bc their votes. but we do unheSl-
