COLUMBIA S. c., Sept. 13.-The r.
publican corpse in South Carolina has
begun to show signs of life again. It
has had good long and peaceful slum-
Der, and, as soon as it gets thoroughly
awakened, will doubtless fall off into
another death-llke $1,000, it will be so
much surprised at itself.
But to be serious, the Republicans
are on the move now, and getting rea.
dy for the part they are to play in the
coming November general election.
The following address, issued yester-
day by the State Republican Emittee,
shows what is being done, and is entire
y self-eXplauatory.
headquarters OF the State Republican
Executive Committee.
Columbia, S. c., Sept. II. 1894.
To the Republicans of South Carolina:
A political struggle of far-reaching
aud widespread i'm portance is now Ia
progress. Vermont and Maine have al
ready spoken In such grand Republi-
can majorities as have not been known
since the days of Abraham Lincoln.
This Democratic party, in full posses
sion Of every department of the govern
ment for the first time since 1850, has
demonstrated its incapacity to success
tulv administer the government.
Everything seems to indicate that
the nex5 House OF R Represent tatives will
be largely Republican, and that the
landslide Of this November will be but
the prelude to the Republican cyclone
Of 1895. Although illegally disfranchis-
ed by the registration and election laws
of this State, the Republicans of South
Carolina cannot afford to remain mac
tive and Indifferent in this great strug-
gle. Public sentiment is crystaliztng
against these Infamous registration
ard election laws, and whether they
are legally decreed to be unconstitu.
tional or not. Republican House OF
Representatives would not hesitate to
uGsea5 and send home in disgrace those
whose only claim to election is based
on che suppression OF the rlgh! to vote
of large maj ajority of the citiZsn5 Of
the State.
The Republicans at this election
should record an earnest and vigorous
portes5 against their illegal d,sfran-
chisemens. Candidates for Congress
should be nominated in every Congress
sional district, and all RepuolicauS>
should attempt to cast their votes for
representatives in Congress. A record
should be kep5 Of all who are rejected
under the operation of the registration
law, which Hill serve as a basis to con-
test that law before the next National
House OF Representatives.
Congressional committees should at
once arrange for Congressional convex
tioas to nominate candidates for Con-
gress, not waiting for call to be is
sued for State convention.
