Mr Bryan won the nomination for x.4 the presidency by his gift of speech. * Judge Parker won by the gift of silence. C. . * * Amoug the tuany big men of the St Louis Convention Johu Sharp Williams was easily the biggest. He tnw ViJmcwl^ \fn AtVinr r U 1U a Wi<K>C -JJ iiilliOVH* ilV ViUV. 1 member of the party measures up to him. Had it not been for his cool, wise leadership that Convention would have ended in a mighty row. While Bryan and Vardaman aud/Tillman were excited to the point of an ger the mighty Williams was poised. Hot for a moment did he lose his head. The Parker telegram madeBryan sick; it made Tillman swear I Ske a trooper; it made Vardaman mad, bnt W illiams kept his head and I saved the party. What a president he.would make! C. * * How delightfully refreshing' in these days of politics, these times when the mno is hunting the* office, troths conduct of Judge Parker in finding thak.telegram to the St Louis convention. The --convention had - m ?a$d.nothing in its platform of the f \ gold or silver question, ignoring for political reasons, that issne. When Judge Parker learned of his nomination he immediately telegraphed the St Convention, stating pointedly his position on the money question, say* ing that he was for a gold standard. 1 He did not desire to hide his position on this important question. He was not called on to declare himself but l his manhood asserted itself and he \ did so. He told the Convention that / he was for gold and if this was not 5' satisfactory to give the nomination to some one else.?How refreshing! There are still some statesman in the land. C. * # The great" Democratic Convention at St Louis has been held and candidates to lead the Democracy have been chosen.. There were numerous aspirants for the first and second nlaces. but from the beginning it r ? w w was clear tc those who carefully read the papers "hat only Judge Parker was to be seriously considered. Mr Hearst, the New York millionaire, had conducted the most remarkable campaign for a nomination that the country has known, spend'ng many thousands of his dollars to have himself named for the presidency, but the American people were disgusted with his tactics and would have none ,of him. Senator Gorman, that master of the game of politics, had ^worked for the nomination, but nothing came of it. Mr Bryan, the .former muster of the party, spent all ,of bis great ability and energy in the interest of the aged Senator Cock rill of Missouri, l?ut his influence was gone. On the first ballot Judge AlUap 3 Parker of New York was norni-1 1 r ?MW'a nated. The fight against the New "Stork judge had not been great and when it was apparent that he was | the choice, of a vast majority the ; nomination was made unanimous, Mr Bryan and other opposing leaders falling in gracefully. From all. that can be gathtied fiom the papers' Judge Parker is the strongest man who could have been named. As a innniug mate he has the Hon Henry G Davis of West Vuginia, former Senator of that State. It appears that little importance was at-* tached to this office. It was thought that a man from the far west, from a doubtful state, vronld be choseu, but the country was given a surprise in the selection of Ex?Senator Davis. Just why this gentleman should have been falTen upon is not clear. He is an old man, of limited reputation, from a comparatively insignificant j state. It may be that his selection was intended as a consolation to Senator Gorman, whose political manager Senator Davis has been. II is reported that the old gentleman has a large purse and perhaps . this had something to do with his success at the Convention. j This is Democracy's ticket. It is without question a strong one. What Senator Davis may lack is made np by Judge Parker's \ strength, v The country seems to be entirely satisfied. The chances for Democratic victory are better than at any time since the election of Cleveland. Judge Parker will get more New York votes than any candidate save Cleveland could poll. The Republicans have heard the news in silence. They had hoped for the nomination of a weaker man. C. TAKE NOTICE.

Cades, July 9:?It was the writer's good fortune to attend the big picDic which came off at Jay last Thursday, the 7th inst., and it has-been many a day since he participated in a feast that would measure up in point of enjoyment and general excellence with this gala occasiou. At 9 o'clock people began to gather at the hospitable home of Mr Simon Poston, where the picnic grounds had been selected, and the crowd increased until 12 o'clock, when it numbered between eight and nine hundred. Nearly all the coun- 1 ty candidates were present and they certainly lost no time in making , themselves known to the people composing the mammoth assemblage, who will have a great deal to do with the settlement of the momentous question, on the 30th of August of who will be our county officers for the ensuing two years?Some of the boys were told that if they did not mind they would be button-holeing some of the citizens of Florence ; 1 I!-. A county, wno live near ine nue. /v large number of ladie6 araced the occasion with their presence. Dinner was served at 1 o'clock and was a splendid spread. After dinner , len.onade was bountifully dispensed. ' The speakers of the day were Messrs ^ Pagsdale of Florence, and Knight of ] Sumter. These gentlemen spoke of c Pythian ism. The occasiou was a * success from every standpoint. The 1 Prospect people know how to entertain their friends and I will be de- 1 lighted when another opportunity to ^ visit that section presents itself. W. M.
