The State Press Association. "GREENVILLE, S. C. June 17, 1880. The South Carolina State Press Association met at 10:45 A. M., this day in the rooms of the Greenville Merchants' and Cotton Exchange, and was called to order bv President T. B. Crews. J-Upon a call of the roll by the Secretary, the following members responded : . . T. B. Crews, Laurensville Herald ; T: F. Greneker, Niwberry HEEALD ; T. Stobo Farrow, Spartanburg Her ald; J. A.

Perry, wht wade the fkllowing address of wel come on behalf of the citizens of Greenville. Gentlemen of the Press Associction of South C.xrolina : The citizens of ks#nvillc have h6n ored we as a quondam member of the corps editorial with the pleasing duty of tendering you, in their name, a most cordial and hearty weleotme to our Mountain City. And they have requested me to say to you that it will give them great pleasure to do every thing in their power to wake your visit pleasant and agreeable. We are all proud to have you come here, from every.section of the State and see the growth, prosperity and and handsome improvements of our town since the close of the desolating civil war. Perhaps no town, city, or village in South Carolina has made greater progress in that time, during the past ten or fifteen years, than Greenville. Her population has treb bled itself, and her houses have been quadrupled, whilst her commerce, manufactories, mechanic arts, and schools, and colleges have surpassed all previous ealculation,, and especially since the overthrow of the carpet-bag, negro.seallawag reginme. In which victory you may well say, ".Magna Pars Fui:" I congratulate you, gentlemen, on your organization of the "Press Asso ciation o~f South Carolina." You are a great power in the land, and should keep up the "esprit d corps" of the Press, by union -and association. You are the eustodians of the politics and morals of the State, and have in your keeping the destiny of the Republic. The inappreciable influence of news papers is seen and felt all over the eivilized world. Nothing- has done more to 'enlighten and educate the masses of mankind, than a Free Press. It has in a great measure, destroyed the. power and .influence of the orator and statesman. In Greece and Rome the most enlightened and cultivated nations of antiquity, the people looked entirely to their orators-and statesmen for information, news and guidance on all public questions. The art of print ing was unknown, and* the great masses were ignorant and uninformed. Their' opinious and judgment on all political questions were fashioned and formed at the home and rostrum. But since the art of printing, and the pub lication of newspapers, a little over -two huiidred years ago, and -their wonderful multiplication in modern times, the great masses of the reading public are about -as well informed on the affairs of ~the State as their ora tors anrd -statesmen'. When a public man now rises te address an audience he feels that they.are-abo'ut as well informed, through the newspapers, as he is. Hie cannot sway and move the minds of his audience as did the ora tors of Greece and Rome. The press has elevated the, people to the stand point of the orator. Gezitlemen, wishing you harmony in your convention, a pleasant ex -cursion to Cincinnati, and a safe re turn to your homes, with the convic tion that the Democratic flag has been placed in the hands of a standard-bear er who .will scatter.the Radical ranks, horse, foot and dragoon, in the ensu ing Presidential election. I bid you an affectionate adieu. President Crews said : Governor Perry-As the presiding officeer of this Association, the pleas ing duty is assignied me, in a few brief words, of returning. you our thanks for the cordial and eloquent terms in which you have seen proper to couch your address of welcome. I assure you, sir, we fully appreciate this hearty welcome. And we realize the compliment the more sensibly because of' your long and intimate connection with the history and the politics of this State. We feel these words of welcome, just uttered. by you, the more-befitting and proper in conse quence of your former connection and long association with the corps edi torial of' South Carolina. In the name of the State Press A ssociation, I again thank you, and the citizens of this beautiful, .prosperous city, for. this cordial welcome. Gentlemen of the South Carolina State Press~ Association: 1 would be wanting in appreciation and dull of discernment were I not to eongratulate you upon this large as semnblage lof our membership-by far the largest it has been my pleasure to witness, on any similar occasion since our organizatio n, in 1875. From every part of the Stato-from moun tain to seaboard-I am greeted by pleasant and familiar faces. Numerous as are the pleasures of our annual reunions, they may be made to subserve a more preectical and ------------- labor are as essential.to the physical man. Our annual meetings, while a source of pleasure, may be turned to practical account, by an exchange of opinions and ideas, regarding home, everyday matters in the wanagement of our business, and futhermore, by a free interchange of views and opinions touching our local, State - and Na tional afiairs our atnual Conventions may inure to great and lasting good. But it should not be thought that our meetings are for mere holiday pastime -for social enjoyment alone This is not the only object for which our As sociation was instituted. We propose to make our organzation a thing of permanence- -not a mere season of fun and frolic, to perish on each succeed ing year, with the closing hilarities. And we propose, moreover, to do good to others as well as ourselves-to as sist -and bear our part in developing the material resources of the State to advance her agricultural, cowwer ala and manufacturing interests. It would be wholly unnecessary for me to speak of the great mission of the Fourth Estate, and its alost supreme povers for weal or for woe. These are too well known to require recital. But %yhile this power exists we should not forget that just in- proportion to its potency, for either good or evil, rests the responsibility upon those who ex ercise it. This power-now so read ily recognized by every English-speak :un tongue-should be intelligently ind carefully guarded. Its great wand should be under the guidance of courageous, yet prudent, conservative hauds. Nor should it be used as a medium through which to give cur rency to personal pique or private scandal. thus pandering to the passions :tnd vitiated tastes and weaknesses of ulankind. The newspaper of to-day has a higher, a .nobler office to per form. It has become an ackowledged public educator, and the disseminator of useful knowledge; and its influence is felt and appreciated wherever civil ilization has found a foot-hold. In deed the press is in itself an engine of civilization. It is no less, also, the proud palladium of liberty and the dread of the Monarch and despot. And you, gentlemen, as the repre sentatives of the press of South Caro lina, hold in your.hands the power, by united effort, to add still more to her already- growing prosperity; and you should never relax your exertions un til she attain that position she of right ought to hold-abreast Aith, and the peer and equal of any of the great States of the national compact, in all that go to make up an enlight cned, populous and happy people. And it is here in these an-nual re unions that -the bonds of unity and affection can be most effectually and strongly welded-here, where for the time at least, all local differences and personal bickerings laid aside, (if any such have existed,) we may clasp bands as one brotherhood, united in a common cause--the well-being of our mother St-ate and her Southern sister hood. Nor should we forget that we hold a common interest in the gen. eral weal of our entire country, now that the sword of strife has been beaten into the plough-share of peace. By the blessing and* mercies of a benign Providence there is no chair in our assemblage made vacant by death ; for which I am sure we must all feel profoundly grateful. One year ago you did me the honor of placing the gavel of this Associa tion in my hand. With a feeling of genu!ne appreciation of the honor, I now retuan you that synibol of au thority., .1 hope I have'not been re creant to the trust nor detracted ma terially. from the dignity of this high position. I now declare this association ready for the transaction of business. -Mr. Hoyt reporsed that the follow ing arrangements had been made by the local committee, acting by au thority of the Executive Committee, and in concert with the citizens of Greenville, for the entertainment of the members of the Press Associa tion: 1. Visit to Camperdown Mills. 2. At 5k P. M1. drive around the city. 3. At 81 P. M. attend the comn mencement exercises at the Opera House. 4. At 10 o'clock A. M1, on Friday Excursion to Piedmont. 5.

Eampton Heartily Cheered in the Convontio: Special Dispatch to The News and Courie CINCINNATI, June 22.--The va; Music Hall was fair and good to st this morning when the spacious ga lery and broad deep stage were thron; ed with eager spectators. Nation: sags with their ruddy stripes ga~ the pillars and dome the needed relit >f color, and the rustling of thousan. af fans gave animation to the seen The banners marking the States< the different delegations enabled ti' members to reaceh their destinatie without difficulty. UTshers hurried1I and fro, scores of telegraph boys awai ed impatiently the momentous me; sages which were to carry to ever quarter of the U;nion the tidings0 what was done. As the delegates sauntered in ti: great organ pealed out the We3din March. Now and t*heu a faint chee from the audience welcomed som:e f: vorite member, but when Wade Hlaml ton, preceded by'Senator Butler, can. across the floor on his crutches ti: applause was vociferous, and cries< "H ampton, " " Hampton, " echoe through the air. This was repeate when he went to another part of -tli ball to speak to a delegate. It w: the' most generaV and spontancot eheerinig of the day. The proceedings were opened wit prayer, and Judge Hoadley was calle to the chair. Hec is a rather slende mian, of medium height, with a brigh keen, smiling face and nervous wan ner. With tle manuscript in reac be iIelivered his address, commwenein with "an earnest assurance that he it tended to be entirely fair to evern body." The allusions to the nom2ination< rilden and IIendricks, to their ele< :ion and the disastrous results of th Electoral Commission, were warml ipplauded. At the mention of Ti len's natie the New York delegatiot with most of the delegates from low and Nebraska, and a few from Pent ylvania, sprang to their feet, wavin :heir fans and hurrahing lustily. Th iddress was somewhat long and unt gual in merit, but it was a vigoron presentmnent of the D)emocratic gosp' iceording to Hoadley, and containe nany telling passages. No incident marked the routin work up to adjournment except th affort of John Kelly to obtain recog 2ition by the Chair during the call c :he Staites for standing commwittee rhere~ was a mJingling of cheers an :ises, bOut Kelly w..s ruled out of o~ Icer and the call proceeded..

The supper con prised all the delicacies of the seasot mod the fireworks were both elaborat md beautiful. To night the delegt ion are to be entertained by Co Jones, of Kentucky, formerly of Sout ?oroina. Tihe weather grows warmer, anid hink I can say that there is a geu< al desire to finish up the work her s rapidly as possible.

He has held a.very prominent and infiuential position in the R.epublican party in this State since.1868. The Chicago hotels had a good vtime during Convention week. The I Palmer took $105,000, the Grand , Pacific $100,000, the Tremont 830, a 000 and the Sherman $27,000. Chi ,cago was at least $400,000 richer " when the Convention adjourned than when it met. I The Rhinehart Democratic Club a of Edgefield County refuses to ratify the action of the State Convention e They call for a new Convention to -make nrominations. f- This is like the three tailors in -London who resolved "That we, the people of England, do, &c." Senator Hampton was one of the -prominent delegates at Cincinnati. His appearance was always greeted v ith,i entsiastic applause. Aferw called upon the platform and said he pledged the solid SQuth to .The support of the gallant soldier. Ex-Judge Townsend, an eleventh hour Demaocrat, one of those who changed his politics after they i ceased to pay, is trying to get up an independent "boom" in Marl eboro' County. It is simply a case of "the dog returns to his vomit, eand the sow to her wallowing in the e mure. An old ex-Confed., who was a gallant soldier in the gallant old 3d, when told of -Hancock's nomi r nation, said, "He fought us like a s wild cat ; but he's a good man, Sand I'm glad he's nominated." It is not the Northern soldier, like Hancock. that Southerners dislike. The National Democratic Con vention Met in Cincinnati the 22nd in stant. George Hoadly, of Ohio, was made temporary Chairman. The Convention was organized very readily, the only contest as to dele gates being between the regular Ne 'York delegation and the Tam many delegation headed by the ii repressible John Kelly. Kelly's delegation was voted out almost unanimously. The permanent ' r ganization was effected by the elec tior 'ot ex-Gov. -J. W. Stevenson, of Kentucky, as President. The first ballot was had the 23d; and resulted as follows : Field, of California, 65; I3ayard, of Delaware, 1631; Morri son, of Illinois, 62; Hendicks, of Indiana, 49? ; Thurman, of Ohio, 68k; Hancock, of New York, 171; Payne, of Ohio, 81; McDonald, of Indiana, 3 ; Laveland, of - -- , 5; Seymvonr, of New York, 8 ; Mc Clelian, of New Jersey, 2-; Jewett, of Ohio, 1; English, of Connecti cut, 1 ; Randall, of Pennsylvania, 3; Lathrop, of --- , 1. Af ter the first ballot the Convention adjourned to the 24th. The Convention reassembled at 10 o'clock, the 24th. The result of the second ballot was: Hancock 316 ; B:ayard 113 ; Fields 65. ; Hendricks 31; Thurman 50 ; Til den 6}; Randall 129; Jewett 1; Parker 2; English 19. After the ballot the delegates began to change their votes to Hancock, E.nd he was nominated unanimously. W. H. English, of Indiana, was nominated for Vice-President on the first ballot. The Next President. Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock was born in Pennsylvania in 1824. He graduated at West Point with Gen. Grant, Gen. McClellan, Gen. Burnside and other distinguished men, in 1844. He entered the army as Second Lieutenant. He served with distinguished gallantry in the Mexican War. In the Florida War, 1857, and in several Indian cam paigns, he bore a conspicuous part. In the late War between the States he was one of the best fighters, if not the best, in'the Federal Army. After the War Hancock became a a strenuous advocate of the subor din ation of the military power to the civil. Since 1872 he has been in command of the Military Divi sion of the Atlatiic, composed of the Departments of the Lakes, of the East and of Washington, with headquarters at New York. The next Vice President, Wmn. H. English, was born in Indiana in 1822. He is said to be the strong est man in his own State except Hendricks. His war record is good ; he is a man of considerable ability. and will add materially to the strength of the ticket. The choice of South Carolina was Bayard. We thought he would make a~ better run than any o,ther man. There was one objection to his availability-the celebrated Do ver speech, in which he advocated the policy of allowing the Southern States to withdraw peaceably from the Union. He is looked upon as a sort of a Southern man ; and the fact that he was the almost unani mous choice of the Southern dele gates would have given strength to this view. His candidacy would have raised the sectional issue ; and when this issue is involved the Democracy always suffers. To Han cock there can be no objection. He was a "war Democrat", was a dis tinguished officer in the Federal Army, and has a clean record in every particular.. He is from Penn sylvania, but as Commander of the Eastern Division of the Army his headqgaarters has been in New York for several years, and he is essentially a New Yorker, and .can carry that State. The Woman's Rights women made themselves as conspicuous as possible at both Chicago and Cin cinnati. Susan B. Anthony and other females of the strong-mninded order were allowed to appear before the committee on resolutions and argue their cause. Circulars were distributed through the hall of the Convention by the National Wo mans Suffrage Association signed by Mrs. Gage as President, Susan B. Anthony as Vice-President, Mr's. Spencer, Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. Sheldon, Recording Secretary, Mrs. Jane Spofford, Treasurer, and a Vice-President from each State in the Union. This circular demanded the recognition of wvoman's rights and asked for the insertion, of a plank in the Democratic platform in favor of woman suffrage. Of course, they did not.succeed. What these women need is not a plank, - I - - ~ ......~.i:..i The nomination of Hancock has united the New York Democracy solidly. John Kelly. after the non ination was made, touk the platform and pledged the hearty support of the Tammany wing of the party to the nominee. The vote of New York is almost sure for Hancock. Mr. Jesse B. Anderson, of Abbe ville County, was killed the 19th instant by falling from his wagon, the wheels passing over his neck. Editorial Correspondence. CINCINNATI, Ohio, In the Street. June 23. We are in a whirlpool of excite went, and what with playing bands, Democratic clubs on their way to Music ilall, the human tide unceas ingly flowing, the beer shops, beer gardens, the women, and a hundred other distractions to occupy atteotion, it is next to impossible to write any connected or intelligible account of our doings either as to our impressions of Cincimati or of the trip since leaving (reenville. We propose to do this after our return. Suffice it to say that our treatment all along the journey has been one of large hospi. tality and kind attentioi. To the Ciaciunati Southeru are the Pr=s in debted for a liberality which we dreamed not of. This company have treated us in a most princely style, but of that and all else we must wait to a later day to express. This is the big day of the convention, Hancock has just received the nomination, and joy is unbounded ; but it is useless to write anything of this, as ere our let ter reaches the reader every one will be acquainted with all the particulars by telegraph. We simply write this brief and hurried note to let our friends know that we are having a royal time, if we are crowded in close quarters, and that we shall draw from our notes at a more convenient opportuuity. Gov. Simpson and Gen. Hagood have been with us from the beginning, and have, like all of us, enjoyed the occa sion with zest. Excuse brevity. FOR Tas IHansp. Our Washington Letter. WASIIINGTON, D. C., June 23d, 1880. j Writing on the second day of the Cincinnati Convention, and before any ballot is taken, it is possible to say that everythi.ng so far has been done decently in order, and that a deter mination has been shown to select not only a safe but an entirely proper man as the Democratic candidate. The un fortunate difficulty in New York has been treated in the only way possible the Tammany men, by a practically unanimous vote. being excluded from participation in the proceedings. The two-thirds rule is retained. The unit rule, significant of control by the Democracy of each State, will be ad hered to. The committees are well made'up. The fraud of 1876 is kept well to the front in all that is said. All this.is eminently proper, as well as judicious. If, as there is every reason to hope, the -same discretion should be shown in the further pro ceedings of the convention, the cam paign of 1880 will open most au spiciously for the Democracy, and end in victory. To-day will doubtless decide who is to lead the glorious old party to vic tory next fall. Speculation is useless, ence I will not enter upon it. FOR THE HERALD.
