WEDNESDAY,!]
13th SENATORIAL DISTRICT.
DKNOCK ACT OR lND^FENDKNTlNR.
wiucii 1
Two jeacaago, when the democracy of
the 9th CopgroMional district bad rooted
Emory Speer, the fdttlf Giant of fnde-
pen fie otUm , great rejoicing was had In
(he ranks of the democracy of the 18th
Nenatorial diatrict; two ymn prior to
that Dr. Foltao, tbo Big Oiant of lode*
pendentlim, bad been buried in his To*
pendent political $rave; and then w h«*»
Hahoneiem in Virginia dropped front its
zenith Tile a falling star, and.was shroud
ed In the mildew of ita own, corruption,
we ail felt most aa happy as tfxn old sister
a*, campmeeting who felt happy onongb
to hug everybody. And now at this Jute
day shall the 13th Senatorial district go
hacfc on W reoort) for allegiance to or
ganized democracy and reviva the ghost
of IndependentiHto? 1 am relnctant to
believe it; I had rather believe that a
nober, second thought would prevail,
rather than disrupt tbo organized de-
inocraey and bring on all the evils that
wnnld naturally follow this desirnotlve
course.
A prominent citizen informed me that
parties in Sumter are watching the prob
able anccess of the movement with the
view' of running for the legislature jn
Sumter, and then an Independent might
mo for Congress in this diatrict. And
what is pll this fuss about that we sbopld
have all these threatened evils suspended
over our. Iua'K-* Was mt, Major J. N.
Hudson, the Democratic nominee, regu
larly nominated in accordance with the
rules fixed by the convention? Yes; the
rules fixed by the convention required
a majority of the rotes to nominate, there
were eight votes in the convention, two
each from Sobley and Macon and four
from Hntnter; Major Hudson got four aud
a half votes, and one of the Macon county
delegates who had voted with the tolnori-
rentier., and failing to defeat Cleveland's
nomination hare been threatening not
to abide the action of the convention.
Don't all trne democrat* ond»mn tbe
action of Kelljr and bis party ? Can any
Mma'cR in «
aeta through the
declaration of it, convention, Indepcn-
,irnti.nl arts in many way,, in mass
meotiott, gotten up by the aspirant or hi,
follower,, or by individual annoonee-
ment m ft candidate fa : defiance of can*
motion,, end make, « heavy warfare on
tinge and clique,, or any other glindiUg
hobgoblin. That waa Dr. Celton and [
Emory Speer', method.
I do not call KMleylani dr independent
iam democracy.
Hint the 23d day of August camp,
thin year before the 6tli Mf so, I
say, people of ttic 13th Senatorial
District look well to yonr interest,
briber declares that I ar-
d (bat 1 would run an an
independent candidate, if tbe con*
volition refused to nominate me.
Thin I denied in my other letter,
and ns he contradicts my word, I
hog him to allow me to contra
dict his, and beside, 1 notice In the
the Republican that be says 1
promised[him that I would not be
n candidate against him, but now
If Kelley and hi* party j saya that I stated I would. Ilnw
boll, the nomination nnd pula nnt an-! cnn yon reconcile this?
other candidate, will they not be properly ; -
called independent, and la it not equally
aa bod for otbera to do a like thing?
Ho further says that the Murray
delegates actually admitted, in
Ktop, wayward brother democrat,, before 1 open convention, that I would ! un
a mistake haa ripened Into an ivll; do . independent if not nominated,
not act in haete that yon may repent at ; j call upon every mnn who
leieure.

was in that convention for the
proof of this assertion. Gentlemen,
What say
and acted under rule* fired by them nnd ’ ye, men of integrity ?
in accordance with democratic principler. j Mr. Hudson also says that 1
thru it seem* to me that not only all the j referred to the 11. V. R. R., as one
delegates and candidate. iu * ,nw ' j of thc Issues in this election. I

Suintcr county democracy i* bound by
the action of the convention by all. the
rules of party usage* And practice, a* the
meeting at which her delegate* were
elected had been well adverliaed nnd
rverylmdy who felt an interest and waa
able could have attended; it Are* the day
when gubernatorial and congressional
delegates were selected, a good large
crowd waa out and the Sumter delegate*
were elected by about eighty majority.
Isn't it, therefore, a little ineentittent for
a democrat of Sumter county to My he
will not abide the action of the conven
tion, and at the same time claim to bo an
organized democrat? Organized doesn’t
mean to repudia.e. disrupt and tear to
piece*.
Macon county Kent her delegate* to tbe
convention; one of them. Gel. AVillis, the
Nestor of organized democracy iu hfttt
county, was made chairman of the con
vention; they participated in the pro
ceeding* of the convention all the way
through, and on their motion the nomi
nation of Major Hudson was declared
unanimous. Ia not Macon county hound
by the action of the convention? I do
not eee how an organized democrat conhl
say otherwise. 1>om anybody suppose
that Col. Willi* and the other delegate*
will go back on their own action, or that
the democracy of Mnoon county will go
hack on tho action of their authorized
delegates, or their own time-honored al
legiance to the democratic party ?
How with Schley county? She sent
her delegatee to the convention, who
participated in ita proceedings in fixing
the ruj^s of the convention, snd voted,
with one or two exceptions, I believe, in
all the proceedings of the convention.
They did not vote, I believe, in tbe tleo-
tiou of tho candidate. Col, Willi*, the
chairman, who had been voting ail tbe
lima with the Schley county delegates,
ruled that nndcr the rule* fixed by tho
convention Mr.
independent ism?

Kktxow C'lliztxs—In my letter
of the 8th instant to you, defining
my poaition on the principal polit
ical subjects exercising tbe minds
of tile people of this district. 1
studiously avoided saying any—
tiling either for or against my op
ponent, the lion. .1. N. Hudson,
knowing that lie was not accus
tomed, at all times, to controlling
his temper, and besides, 1 had (as
I have lor all other men) a respect
due one man from another, ana 1
still retain that respect towards
him, blit it is due myself, ar.d espec
ially due you, that! reply to hia of
•September 10, in which he makes
(I hope uninlcnlioually) some un
true assertions—an error of the
head and not of the heart. 1 reply
to him in no spirit of malice, but
clnim as he did, the right lo lie the
judge of it. This is lather sharp
in tbe gentlemen. His godfathers
in A mcricus lmd better have a bet
ter understanding, as lie says that
lie is wedded to his convictions,
and that neither hr nor his convic-
i lions shall tdiangc to suit the
vicissitudes or the canvass; but
hear in mind Hint about five weeks
ago he declined to be a candidate,
saying that lie would not enter into
any scramble for it, but he
has changed since then, lor 1
saw him scramble under the
steps of the Opera Hou-e oil
the night of the 2~tli. ol Aug
ust, and there wail impatient
ly until his porter came down and
notified him tlmt be had received
the votes of Hint h.ng-to-be remera-
bered, yes, Hint in mortal, four
from Sumter and the cue half of
one from Macon.
The gentleman says in the wind
ing up of his epistle, that ho has
respcctlully invited me to meet
him in public debate on such terms
ns may be arranged by mutual
friends. Well, 1 have not as yet
received his respectful invitation,
but suppose the mail is to blame,
