MY DEAR SIR-I our letter of Sep.
tember I'd, inviting me to attend a
grand Democratic rally" OH the 9th Of
october, at the capital Of Ohio is re-
ceived. | realize fully the Importance
OF the contest being waged between
"Democracy" and Republicunlsm in
your State this year, and would gladly
lend any aid in my power to secure the
reelection OF Governor Campbell. If
he is victorious-and God grant he may
be-he will be the next President of the
nited States. The South In general,
and South Carolina in Particular, has
grown disgusted with the "ways that
are dark and tricks that are vain" of
New Iork's greedy politicians, by
which the national democracy" has
more than once been betrayed, because
OF corrupt bargains in the struggle for
supremacy In New York clty's nunici-
pa! election. We long for a candidate
who breathes a pure political atmos-
phcre, and will reioiceit Ohio shall fur
nlsh the man. l regret my Official du-
ties will not permit me TO be with you
on the day mentioned, in person. but l
will be there in spirit, and bid you God
speed in your glorious fight.
Thanking you for your courtesy, am
very respectfully, b. II. TILLMAN,
Governor South Carolina.
