The Crime ^Confessed
From National Republican.
tie veal weeks prior to the N vem
In-r elections the National Republi
can learned and.auiiouti'jed tl.a*. tin
D.iuoorats iu South Cmolioa baa
planned to steal the Negro district
in that state. When the miserable
farce was over and Elliott bad been
counted in the Natioual Republican
explained how the crime had beeL
perpetrated. Of course tbs Demo
cratic and Mug lamp papers, with
few exception?, were brnz-m enough
to aseert tlmt Elliot ’»s had IxeD
orougbt about by lawful an I honest
.Methods. Such au assertion was i>
self evident Irtish o id, blit ii war
tuaile sml repeated nil aim g the
Dim x*r. tic sud Mugwump liue?.
Greatly to our surprise there ha
been found iu South Carolina *
Deiuouratic newspaper brave and
honest enough to tell til ; tuitb shoot
ibis iuttinous I m nines?. 1'lic Greeu
vill** Na.va admits nil that has evet
b«fi n ctiargf 1 it these eoliuns in
ltd diojB to til- theft of Sm.lils seat.
It says:
YV« douUt if tlw-« Ita lx en a more
unwise or iihum] proceeding than
the fight against Small#, and the
methods naod in iu iking it. The
fieui&eratiapany of the country ha*
gained one member of the Hoiue of
Representatives to oasiat at the or
ganization Against this lack of use*
ul results iu the defeat of iSnml Is
there is an t unless train of ab*d re
sults. The Republican newspaper*
and political s are given a strong |
ctSt?. they will male the most of it
They will charge that we curved, tl e
elate into districts on curious lir ej
and by by dividing counties to tb ow
he colored vj'e into one difttict,
aud, uot contented with that, have
gone inte thatdistnct aud alu^n the
ole representative They Mull u„t
only charge it. but they wi\l prove it
Our side may, doubtless wit], prove
that the county boards acted within
and hundreds of votes for irregul ari
ties. But the fact wid stand out
bold and unquestioned that Smalls
has been defeated by the official neg
ligence of Democratic officials ap
pointed bv Democratic auth .rity.
The inference that the negligence
wu6 a preai ranged plot to deprive
the majority of its weight will bo loo
plain aud clear for resinco. The
state will put before the country as
being party to a plain, deaerate,
and waniou fraud.’
There you are gentlemen of the
Democratic and Mugwump pres?, as
your good brother of the Greenville
News has painted you. How do you
like your pose? Is the facial expres
sion satisfactory? But .the News
goes on, thus:
We do not heheve the Democratic
party of the country will accept the
responsibility for this election, and
and we know it ought not to do it.
1 lie fact? and figures will be brought
out and put before the world, and it
the Dfcmr crats in Congress give Col.
E liott the seat tiny will be nehl be
fore the world as aiding and abetting
a crime and receiving its results.
Tue barm is not only in tha future
This election destroys the wuik of
years. We have claimed persistent
ly that all doubtful me hods we have
used in elections were .justifiable, as
being necessary for Belt' perstrv.ition,
to defend our families and property
from barbarism ^aud corruption.
That claim is Just and true, and on
it we have won talaratiou and sym
pathy. Now our enemies—and we
have plenty of them —will point, to
this election a-* evidence that we have
been lying, and will cite its wanton
uesa to provb that we have .been in
spired only by greep of power and
the determination t > deprive the Ne
gro of jKilitical rights.
Ttiere is a great deal of meat in
that paragraph whioh we have not
n- w to masticate. It wdl keep, and
there will be luting occasions for its
use. The News closes its article
with loose words:
Tt/e effect on the people of the
slate must be bad. It is useless to
preach honesty and integrity while
the leading and most trusted men of
the state publicly use and sanction
such fuel hods as have been u-ied to
count out Small?. “It’s an ill bird
that fouls its own nest.” Our nest
has been fouled without reasou or
excuse. Wo wish to avoid our share
rf the fouling cs far as possible by
proclaiming as publicly as we can
oiiat we condemn tbe proceedings iu
the black distiict, and hold no sym
pathy with them or those connected
vith them. Tue use of fligrant un
fairness to defeat the choice of the
colored Bepublicans in the one
congressional district allotted to
them is contrary to the honorable
tra iitions aud priciples of our peo
pl- and party, a miserable political
oliirnlfr and a moral wrong.L'Naliuua
