Stato Exccutivo Conunittoo of tho Republican
paMy was in session u groator
part of lust night, making up tho
list ov aolegates the Convention
which met at 12 o'clock to-day.
Tlio connnittco also listened to an
appeal l'or recognition from the redoubtable
Independent. J. Ilondrix
Mctiane.' ' "
At: 12 o'clock to-day tho convention
vras called to ordor. by T. E. Miller,
of lioaufort, chairman of the Executive
Committee. . Ho explained to tho convention
that by ita action to-day it
would bo mado possiblo for tho party
either to hold many moro or none at
all in tho noxt decade. Ilo thought
that tho privilege of voting solely an
electoral tickot was not sufllciont compensation
foirtho dangers the Republican
voter encountered, and ho did not
think it was su(Ucient to keep these
vuiui f lu^uiuui'i -t\ negro .am not care
to bo shot tor the fun of voting for
Blaine niul Logan. Ho said tho call
for a oouvoutipj) included all mankind
in South Carolina who stand in opposition
to inon who defraud ignorant
tenants and labprors, and outrage and
oppress tho Voters of tho State. Tho
Republican party, ho claimed, was
composod'of tho laboring men, and it
is tho'so who make a State great. .Tho
dry Blaine and Logan ticket not being
sufficient to rally tho Republicans in
South Carolina, lio urged tho nomination
of a full State tieket, and intimated
that unless it was done tho party
would be otcrnally dead. The voters
wore learning that thov could not lookabout
for homo protection and they
can oply got it by struggling to regain
control of State affairs, and the hope of
doing this Would arouse great ent.hu
siasm in tho rank and file of the party,
lie hoped tho convention would ho
harmonious.
Oslcndorll', of Berkeley, read tho
cull under which tho convention was
hold and tho purposes for which it was
issued.
The roll was thou called, and at its
conclusion Miller announced that nominations
for temporary chairman were I
in order.
McKinlay, a red-headed, freckled-1
faced negro from Charleston, who was
standing in the aisle, bawled out,
"Mr. Chairman," but Miller looked
over and beyond him and recognized
"Mr. Purvis." McKinlay wilted and
Purvis advanced slowly towards the

utic attitudo and said: ''Sir,' tlierc arc
times when there ?s no necessity l'or a

forces a speech, but this is an occasion
when it is unnecessary for anything
to he said about tho gentleman 1 propose
to pnt in nomination. Ho Is well
known to all of yon as a man of the
highest. and ability. I nominate
Hon. \V. o. Whipper, of Jleaufort."
Prince Rivers, of Aiken, and
McKinlay seconded tho nomination,
fycKinlay pronouncing a lengthy eulogy
upon Whipper. While all ot' this
was going on, Whipper sat a few feet
in front of the speakers, a cane in his
right hand, his eyes tolled upwards, a
complacent smile on his lins and a
general appearanco of satisfaction
illuminating his countenance. lie evidently
believed every word they said
of him. Thoro being no other nomination
he was elected unanimously,
and Purvis and Myers, two bright
mulattocs, escorted him to* the stand.
On assuming tho position of temporary
chairman, Whipper said he would
not say what was usually said, that he
did not seek nor desire this honor, tor
it would not be true if he did. lie
said he had the honor of presiding
over the first Republican convention
over held in South Carolina, lie
begged that order be maintained, but
reminded his hearers that he had the
power to enforce it if necessary and
promised that it Should ho. nrnBni'vn#! nf
nil hazards.
Miller nominated Fordham, "ft
\*oung man that is an honor to our
party," for secretary, but Shrewsbury,
another delegate, said that as the president
of the convention was from the

the secretary should be selected from
tho mountains and nominated W. JC.

Ficoman, of tho Tnfft Charleston delegation,
took tho floor to advocato tho 1
adoption of tho minority report. lie
began by explaining tho mannoroftho
election in Charleston and got along (

to put questions to him. Ho answered
very promptly for awhilo. until (
becoming oxcitod, ho charged political
rascality upon It. Ij. Smith, tho color-.
I editor of tho Palmetto Press. Smith '
was ono of tho opposition, and attempted
to intorrupt the speaker. Another
delegate interrupted Smith, and then
followed a scono only witnessed in
Ropublicati conventions and at negro
minstrel shows. Coats wore thrown
oil', oath? were l'rcoly indulged in and
for some moments an old-fashioned
knock down and drag out appoared
imminent. After considerable effort
quiet was restored and Freeman concluded.
Smith followed. IIo produced
numerous affidavits to prove that

boxes and thus defeated tho will of the
Republican voters of Charleston county,
and he appealed to the convention
not to endorse such infamous practices
by seating the delegation. Taft took
iho tloor, he said, not only to put himself
right personally, but, as county
chairman, to defend tho Republican
party, which had been besmirched
worse by these men than had ever been
done by the Democrats. Ho went on
then to show the clean record of his
party under him as chairman, and concluded
with an appeal to the convention
to scat his delegation.
At the conclusion of Taft's spocch,
Miller, of Beaufort, presented an invitation
to the convention to attend the
memorial services in honor of It. If
Elliott, and moved an adjournment of
one hour and a half for tho purpose of
allowing tho members of the convention
to attend the services. Tho
motion was almost unanimously defeated.
Pinckncv. a coal blnn.k rim*
key, answered Taft mul produced evidence
to prove the chai'gc against the
Tat't crowd. Ho was followed by McIvinlay,
of Charleston, and Paris Siinkins,
of Edgefiokl, as Chairman of the
Committee on Credentials, closed the
debate. Tho voto was taken on the
minority report seating the Taft delegation.
Tho report was rejected l>\ a
voto of ol to 48. Taft arose and said
that, as an honorable llepublican, he
could not accept the majority report,
giving each of the delegations a half
vote, and ho would withdraw; you
may take your packod convention,
with the revenue rin<r. "You up-country
people may take it and run it to
suit yourselves; we have the votes on
tho coast and we are the party; we
leave you to run it as you please."
Then followed a scene of tho wildest
confusion. Motions to adjourn were
made, delegates collared each other

down. This continued for half an J
hour, whon quiet was comparatively
i restored. Freeman, another Charles- 1
ton delegate, stated that the party had 1
degenerated into a mob and lie must 1
withdraw. Points of order were made 1
and delegates in all parts of the hall (
arose to privileged questions. McKin- |
ley finally obtained the tloor. Whip- 1
per ruled him out of order. lie said 1
he would speak, anyhow. Tho pro- 1
! ccedings here, ho said, were disgrace- !
ful to the National Republican party. 5

from the convention. While the confusion
was its highest, Smalls rose to a 1
parliamentary question, and after mov- 1
ing the indefinite postponement of tho
majority report, subsided. I'urvis, of
Charleston, rose to a privileged qucs- 1
tion. Alter eulogizing the grand old
party, lie said he was told that this
convention denounced Iiill Taft as a
ballot-box stufter, and ho would not '
submit to it, and withdrew. Thomson,
a colored delegate from Berkeley,
J tried to speak, but Whippcr kept up a <
constant hammering and advising the <
delegates to be spatcd. Thompson \
said ho intended to talk, and the ;
Chairman ini?ht as well understand it. ;
I Miller asked if the question before the ,
house was not tho majority report. (
The Chairman assured him that it was.
Miller proceeded to protest*against tho (
action about to betaken by the con
vontioh. JIo reviowed all the evi- (
denco before the convention, and went (
oft'on a long tirade against tho rovenuo
ring. I Io gave a glimpse into the past, i
and said that Chamberlain uorrimfnl
and ruined the Republican party ami
left Ellory Brayton to boss the rem- |
nant. that remained. JU severely de- ;
nouneed tho action of the credential
chmmittcc. Ho said the colored inon i
cannot rally around tho Blaine-Logan i
standard bccauso a few white bosses (
want to rule the party for tlioir por- i
sonol aggrandizement. Tlic dobato
was continued till 12 o'clock, and lln- <
ally resulted in the seating of tho <
i Charleston delegations with halt votes. (
Tho convcnlion is still in session, at (

Tt is said that tho bolt begun by Taft ]
I lo-ingiii win uo ionowca by the (lcle

As soon as somo sort of order had

Lickcl bctoro the convention and it wjis

All of (hose nominees arc not entirely
unknown. Corbin was tho United
States District Attorney who prosecuted
tho Ku Klux in 1872, and tho white

Butler's seat, but, as will be romembcred,

Judge Mackoy's description of him
whon the voto seating Butler was
taken is so good a description of him
at this time that I cannot resist the
temptation Jo quote it. Mitokey savs
that while the vole was in progress he
saw (Sorbin standing in the iobby of
the Senate, "the bright gleam of hope
in his malignant eye." IIis attention
was attracted towards the tellers, When
tho vote was announced, and as soon
as this was done he looked again to
Corbin and saw that a wonderful transformation
had taken place. -"Hope
seemed to have departed from him forever.
He looked like a maii who was
dead and ubad died of tubercular consumption.

as a delegate to the Republican National
Convention, he has not been

the nomination, as Iks probably
would not enjoy an expensive and unpleasant

KING'S EVIL
Was tho namo formerly given to Scrofula
becauso of a superstition that it could bo

of tho blood. If this is neglected,

Tubercular Consumption, and various
other dangerous or fatal maladies, aro
produced by it.
Ayer's SarsaparMa
Is the only poxcerf ul and always reliable
blood-purifying medicine. It Isso effectual
an alterative that it eradicates from
the system Hereditary Scrofula, and
the kindred poisons of contagious diseases
and mercury. At tho samo time it enriches
and vitalizes tho blood, restoring
healthful action to tho vital organs and
rejuvenating tho entire system. This great
Regenerative Medicine
Is composed of tho genuine Honduras 1
Sarsaparilla, with Yellow Dock, Stilling

carefully and scientifically compounded.
Its formula is generally known
to tho medical profession, and tho best
physicians constantly prescribe Ayer's
Saksai'arilla as an
Absolute Cure
For nil diseases caused by tlio vitiation of
tho blood. It is concentrated to tho highest
practicable degree, far beyond any
