Give the Public the Facts.

Editor Columbia Register:
I have always been a Reformer and
I am ready to do my duty in this line
now. am ready to vote for the man
| think would represent my party
best, but am not willin g to vote for any
man who has the least stain upon
him, or the appearance of it. lowe to
my family and my country first duty,
and duty that calls forth my best
manhood. We have plenty of men in
the Reform party who are the best
men In the State, and who would
lose their right arm before they would
vote for a man who has q hurtful
charge against him, and will not press
parties who are in possession of facts
to come out with them. am ready
to vote to-day for Governor Evans if
he would force MIR. MiXson to say if
all Of the charges made by Mr.. Dun
can are false-he owes this to himself,
and he owes it to us. Mr.. Miyson,
who is from our county, owes US
more. He is from among us; he has
no more right to hold evidence that
belongs to the people than he has to
hold money in public trust; neither
has he any right hold to his office
and hide crime if there is any crime.
He should either turn over to the
people the office that belongs to them
or the evidence: [ call upon him to
set US right, and say if any Of the
charges made by Mr.. Duncan in refer
ence to rebates are true. Mr.. Mixson
must come down with the facts.
