C., September 10.?The State Democratic Convention assembled to-day in the House of representatives. The assembling: was done with a g^~-? deal of enthusiasm, mutual good i and even good humor. It was generally supposed when all had [ Ik .if / > i?n ? t? o m nnf I" gciLUCTiCU ClAcib CVCiJ j ^ of discord had been eliminated by the f agreement of compromise between the k two executive committees. m The galleries were crowded, there being present among the spectators a large number of ladies. While the delegates came in and took their seats the splendid Capital City Band played some lively airs and added to the spirit and animation of the occasion. Aii nve nil nines past iz ^nairra;m Hoj'tand Chairman Irby ascended the platform. On Chairman Iloyt's leit was his secretary, Wilie Jones, and on the right of Chairman Irby his secretary, G. Duncan IJellinger.* After a pause of a few minutes Chairman Iloyt said: "The secretary will read the call under which this Convention assembles." The call was _ accordingly read. ' Col. Irby then said: "The Convention will please come to order. You will now bear read the confirmation of the call of the oid executive committee." The paper referred to was read by Secretary Bellinger. Immediately thereafter Mr. W. D. Evans, of Marlboro, said: '*1 nominate the lion. H. A. Meetze, of Lexington, as temporary chairman of this Convention." The molron being seconded the question was put and Mr. Meetze was elect^ it vatv large majority of the ConH venCTo^- i As he ascended the platform he was aVi T)a?TS/* i T?A/J 11 AA/1 f A [mum v inti VJU.uv^U the Convention by Col.

The Chair has only to" annaunce that it is now ready to receive all matters looking to the* permanent organization of this body." - Judge A. C.

He asked leave to have the names of the protestants attached later during the day. The following is the protest: "We, the undersigned, declare that under t the constitution of the Democratic party the agreement said to have been made between Mr. Hoyt, the chairman of the State executive committee, and Mr. lrby, claiming to be a chairman of a State executive committee, by which Mr. Irby is to participate in the organization of the Convention assembled thj^dstyTiSimgiilar, illegal and void, and, if persisted in, affects the legality of the Convention, and against the same we enter our emphatic and solemn protest." The motion for the acceptance of the protest was seconded by J. D. Blanding, of Sumter. The President: l,I would suggest to the Convention that before we proceed with this or any other matter a tempo tary secretary be appointed." Accordingly Mr. John T. Duncan, of Newberrv. and Mr. G.

It had first taken up the Berkeley contest, a:ici,aiter neariog uir JSevidence, including the testimony of Porcher Sniith, decided to seat B '".e StanJand delegation. The chief *oa:id of objection to the Porcher inith delegation was that it waselectBd by a Convention which was "illegal B?d unconstitutional."

Mr. J. Antrum Simons moved that I I fifteen minutes be allowed to each side! | l'or the discussion of each of the three j j reports. I After this half a dozen other motions ! I were made and there was so much con-; ! fusion in the hall that it was moved ; : and carried that the hall be cleared of j all persons except delegates. j It was found impossible to clear the j i house. After much discussion pro and con a : ! mnt.inn \v:is thftn made that the minor- I I itv report recommending that neither | delegation be seated be adopted, j Mr. Tope moved to lay that motion i on the table. Mr. Tupper raised the point that the | Convention was not organized and no rules of procedure had been adopted. The Chair ruled the point well taken. Col.

This was done and the'motion to lay on the table was carried^ Mr. Tupper tnen raisea anotnerpoim; i that under the motion just carried the question was settled, and that both delegations were ousted.

The status of the Con vention then was that the roll of uncontested delej gates was not called and there was no I organization whatever. This point was | made by Mr. J. Ancrum Simons before the clearing of the hall. At half-past 12 o'clock the Convention reassembled and Col. Irby took the lloor and moved that W. J. Talbert be elected permanent president. This was | carried with a whoop. Col. Irby then, moved that the temporary secretaries" be made permanent and that the rules ! of the House of Iiepresentatives be | adopted, and that all non-delegates be ] excluded, with the exception of the ! ladies, all of which were carried. Judge Haskell then made a speech in which he held that none of the matters before the temporary organization were before the present body. Carried. Col. Irby then called up the report of the committee on credentials in the Fairfield contest matter. Chairman Jones, of the committee, moved that the majority report be adopted.

The "roll call was resumed and the i majority report was adopted by a vote j of 190 to 80. j On motion of Col. Irby the unseated ! delegates were invited"to seats on the I tloor.

The majority report, signed by sevenj teen members, recommended that neithj er of the delegations be seated. 0. C. I Jordan presented a minority report re' commending that the It. D.Lee (Anti| Tillman) delegation be seated. I 1{. M. Smith, of Spartanburg, moved the adoption of the minority report. ; On mation of Col. Irby fifteen minutes i was allowed each side for debate, i JJefore the debate commenced Col. ' Irby asked the Sumter delegation if it i would agree to the adoption of the ma| joritv report and go home and reorganj ize the county. This was not agreed to, and H. IL : Thomas, of Sumter, who argued the ! legality of the Tillman delegation on ! the ground that they had been elected i under the new constitution, and accord! iug to the resolution of the August | Conveniion, providing that the election j be held by the convention plan. | O. C. Jordan, of Aiken, a Tillmauite, made the argument in favor of the minority report. He said that prior to the election of the delegates it was beyond question there was but one couni ty chairman, and that was Gaillard.: i "When the delegates came to Sumter i j the Tillman delegates refused to enter the Gaillard Convention, which was i the place to vindicate themselves and | show that they were in the majority. I The Tillman delegates had madeamis! take, and that it was not the business | of this Convention to correct. He ap' pealed to the Convention to do what I was right although the heaven fall, i [Applause.] | The minority report was lost by a | vote of ICO to 133. The Sumter delega! tion left the hall.

Judge Ilaskell protested against proceedings in this respect, as the Fairfield and Sumter delegations had been ousted and left the hall. It was moved that the nomination i be by acclamation. Objection was inaue ana tne roii was caneu, tne vote i being by counties, which resulted yeas 209, nays 40. Charleston, Beaufort, Georgetown and Richland voted no.

The Democratic party of Sonth ' Carolina, in Convention assembled, 1 hereby reallirms the platform and prin- ) ciples of the National and State Dem- ( ocratic party, particularly favoring the 1 -c 1 *i.- ? zi 1 ?. c ?: l.. ? ? ( j.ree aim uuuuulcu cuiu<i^c ui anvci, . the increase of the currency and the repeal of the internal revenue system. * We denounce the McKinley tarill j bill as unjust to the producers "of raw ' material and the consumers of the ( country; and especially do we condemn ^ the unnecessary and burdensome in- * crease in the tax on cotton ties and tin 1 commodities so largely used by the ( poorer portion of our people. The ? passage of this bill by Congress will 1 encourage trusts, combines and rnon- s opolies, evils which have so long pp- y pressed the people. We denounce the Lodge force bill as 1 iniquitous, e:n;uia,uug juuni unuus whose nefarious purpose is to establish 1 the supremacy of ignorance over in- ( telligence in the Southern State, thereby engendering race antagonism and sectional animosity. We condemn the action of Speaker ' lieed and his followers as tyrannical and a flagrant degradation of a position intended only for the true patriot and statesman. i Second. We demand the enactment ( of laws that will remove the burdens ' of the people, relieve the existing ag- j ricultural depression and do full and ? ample justice to the farmers and labor- ( ers of our country. < Third. We demand the abolition of < national banks, and that legal tender z treasury notes be issued in" sufiicient1 ( volume* to do the busines of tne coun-! try on a cash system, and that all j { money issued by the Government shall j be legal tender in payment of all debts, j j both public and private. j ( Fourth. We demand that Congress | pass such laws as shall effectually' pre- 5 vent the dealingsn futures of all agri- < cultural productions, prescribing such ^ stringent methods or procedure in ( trials as shall secure prompt convic- { tion. < Fifth. We demand that Congress j shall provide for the taxation ot in- ( comes of individuals and the surplus ] of corporations, thereby equalizing the , burdens upon the poorer classes. ] Sixth. We demand that our State ^ Legislature shall abolish the board of . agriculture; that the privilege tax on j fertilizers and everything appertaining , to agriculture, or mechanics, or industrial education, including the agricul- 5 tural stations, be placed in charge of < the trustees of the Clemson Agricul- < tural College, and upon s.iid trustees \ shall devolve all duties now performed , by the present board of agriculture, ex- , cept the control of the State phosphate ' interests. 1 Seventh. We demand that the South 3 Carolina Collpge at Columbia shall be liberally supported as the classical and literary department of the South Caro- J lina University. Eighth. We demand that the school , districts in the various counties of the , State shall be as nearly as practicable square, and of an area sufficient to allow one white and one colored free school separate and distinct in each district, < and that the school trustees be elected by the people.

That public officers be paid in proportion to their labor and responsibility. Tenth. We demand that the railroad commission shall be given all the power needed to protect the rights and interests of the people, without injuring i the railroads, and that the commissioners be elected by the people, Eleventh. We demand that there shall be a survey of the State's phosphate beds, and their classification into three grades, and that a commission j composed of the Governor.

Twelfth. We demand that a consti- j ; tutional convention be called to give ; j us an organic law framed by our own ! ; people. We believe the present law a i j standing menace to our civilization i and to our educational institutions,! , and that v.e cannot obtain any great | j relief from ou- bundensome taxes till j | this is done, and we have lost faith in j the power to amend the present constitution so that it will answer the requirements. Thirteenth. We rely upon the sense , of justice and enlightened self-interest of our fellow citizens to enforce these : demands, and we call upon and invite ! every citizen who has the interest of j his State at heart to assist us in enforc-i ing these needed rerorrns. we condemn any attempt, cither by word,deed or by unholy allinnce with the enemy to disrupt the Democratic party of this State. White supremacy is the bulwark of our civilization and can only be secured by Democratic unity. The convention then adjourned sine ; die. 1 FOILED FIENDS- lj o Tr:tin Wreckers Destroy Property but v Cost no Lives. v Albany, X.

The -J escape of a large number trom death f ivas miraculous. The train, which was s< twenty-live minutes late when it was a ivrecked, was runining at the rate of J} thirty miles an hour. When the engine * struck the obstruction on the truck it [' was lifted upwards and the whole train was thrown from the track. The forward part of the engine was sus- 11 pended in the air it looked as though it .night fall in the ditch at any moment. | Ihe engineer and firemen both stuck to I ^ ;heir posts. t( The first sleeping car contained 22 P passengers. It slid down the embank- 11 nent and came to a stand still on its >ide. None of the passengers in this h jar were injured except by being " bruised. The second coach fared worse :han any of the others, turning a com- a -?lpf-A snmprsaulf-. and bmrlinf? in tht? e iitcn bottom side up. In this car there * ivas only one passenger, Mrs. Jenkins, " )f Brooklyn, the conductor and porter. -L Mrs. Jenkins was at first thought to be a >eriously injured, but it was afterwards s1 round that she was more frightened w ,han hurt. The third car was thrown ^ lirectly across the ditch at right angles t! ?vith the track and was at lirst taken V or a bridge spanning the abyss. There J1 vere about eight passengers in this ;oach, making in all about 31 passen- n jers who were so fortunately saved P rom instant death. The other five J1 ileepers did not leave the road bed, but " vere lying obliquely across the north jound track. The fourth car was susjended in the air over the ditch, held in -1 position by its only coupling and the ? esistance offered by the other three :ars.

Benjamin Ryan Tillman, the nomiice of the '"Farmers' Movement" party or Governor of South Carolina, was iorn in Edge Held County on the 11th >t" August 1847. His place of birth fas at the I illman homestead, Chester, irhich is but a part of the family states, which cover about 10,000 acres .'his homestead has been in the possesion of the family for more than one undred and twenty years. The Tillnans came to America with Lord Balimore, and settle^ lirst in Maryland. \he name was probably, at that early ate, spelled Tilhgman, as the wellnown general of that name belongs to he family which came over with Lord Jalumore. The settlement in South Carolina of he ancestors of the subject of this ketch was made on Horse Creek, 'dgefield County. Capt. Ben Tillman's ather was named Benjamin Ryan oilman. His colonial ancestors, Ilyans nd Tillmans, were Whigs and'did ood service in open and guerilla warEire against the Tories and other folnvers of Lord Cornwallis. They sufered persecution and retaliated in liiu, uw wir cusluui in me guerilla rarfare of those days. On one tract f the Tillman lands is a place known s Shelving llock, which was often the ?fuge of the Tillmans and Ryans and tlier AVhig families. At another ilaee is an historic tree, on which a 'ory paid the penalty of his crimes. Lt a third place is the Murder Field, d called from the fact that in that an ncestor of Capt. Tillman, a Ryan, was lurdered by two of his slaves. Capt. 'illman now owns about 1,800 acres of ic original tract and lives at his own omestead, called ;'IIigh View," near topers Station, on the Charlotte, Colmbia and Augusta Railroad. Capt. Tillman obtained his elemenlry education at the old field school of rcorge Golphin, at which school Sena3i Butler and Mart Gary were preared for college. lie left school in SG4 and soon thereafter was prostrat:1 by a severe attack of fever by which e lost bis left eye. This affliction lade the young Tillman an invalid 3r two years. When he recovered he ppiied himself to reading and "read verythinghe could lay his hands on " lis chief delight was in poetry and ovels. In poetry his taste was for the tritish classics, Milton, F pe, Dryden nd Scott; in noveis he had all the tandard works, including Scott, Bul*er, Dickens and Thackeray. The iiary at his home, at High View conains a number of the best books of :iis period and the period of the others 1st named. Considering that the bent of his lind has been in the direction of oetry and romance, it is somewhat relarkable that his life work should ave been mapped out as one devoted 3 political and economic reform. This . -ii xt 1- . t i ~ > au me inoie reuifu.ivii.ae as ^<tpu 'illman has not read any of the works n political economy or literature reited to that subject. He paid a great eal of attention, however, to the conition of the State, its 'finances, needs, tc. as he saw them discussed in the ewspapers. In 1867-08 Capt. Tillman lived in 'lorida, and on his return to South !arolina in 18GS married Miss Sallie A. tarke, of Elbert County, C'a. Miss tarke, although living in Georgia, was f the South Carolina family of the tarkes who reside in Fairfield County. >n returning to South Carolina Le deoted himself exclusively to farming, he study of agriculture and general eading. When the revolution of 1870 was eing brought about Capt. Tillman sok an active part in the organization f the Democracy of his section of Edgefield, and subsequently participatd in some of the most perilous undernkings on behalf of the redemption of lie i?tate. As early, however, as 1874, e was actively engaged in lighting: for ,-hite supremacy, and was on hand in lie Xed Tennant riots of that year. Jnder Capt. A. P. Butler, :is a member t the Edgelield Ilussars, he took part a the Hamburg riot, the history of ,-hich is familiar to the country. Lgain, at the time of the Ellenton riot, ewefit-down from his township with company to-the rescue, but on reachtig Rouse's Bridge" he found that the iiliculty had been settled by the United tates troops. The company which he ommanded then was armed and equip ed at private expense. Capt. Tillman followed the fortunes f the Democracy up to the doors of he State House in 1876. at the time of lie formation of the "Wallace House, t was he who took the message to Iampton inviting him to attend the oni'erence of the Straightout party on he nightjbefore the State House was inested by Federal troops. He was one of hp si\- or spvpti t.hrmsnnrl whn stood a front of the Capitol protesting with ohn C. Sheppard against the highlandeil exclusion of the Laurens and idgeiield delegations. It was at this leriod, rather than any other, in which ie laid the foundation for his personal >opularity in his county. He was next ieard of as a delegate to the State Con ention of 1882, in which he voted for Jen. Jiratton for Governor. Iu 1885 he made his first speech at Sennettsville, he never before having ippeard before an audience, and this vas the beginning of the career which (,'U 10 JUS IlUUilUaUUU lUl UUVUU1UL tulay. It is true, however, that although he Bennettsviile speech was his first in general political principles, he had leld the position of chairman of Edgeield County in the most troubled jeriod of its history, and had doubtless iddressed the conventions when occaiion required. After his well-known letter of reirement from politics, which was nought about by his temporary failure it Bennettsviile, he kept up by means >f letters in The Xews and Courier the igitation lor an Agricultural College ;nd other reforms in favor of the iariu.ts. The part which he took in the farmers' Convention of 18ST is of too recent a date to need comment in de uUil in tins Oriel si<etcn,nor is it neces=ary to repeat the history of the famous March Convention of 1890, when Capt. Tillman was put forward as the representative of the farming interests of :he State. Xo subject has ever been more fully iiscussed in public than Capt. Tillman :md his speeches and writings within the past four years, and the discussion has given him a wide reputation all aver the United States. Capt. Tilman is about five feet ten rti/.ViiiO in Vioior'nf orwl /IroscPC ncilfll 1V in the plain but substantial garb of the well-to-do Carolina farmer. " His family consists of a wife and five children ?three daughters and two sons. lie is considered a very successful farmer, his prosperity being due to an undivided attention to business, which lias only been broken by the necessities of hisrecent canvass of the State. All the lines of his face indicate determination and independence of spirit and action, and this impression is1 heightened by the firm set of his lips ! and a very direct and continuous gaze i when in conversation. To the casual observer Capt. Tiliman | [ appears to be very ascetic in habit and j decidedly of an unsociable nature. On the countrarv he is at times accessible, and while he is capable of the most bitter and uncival scarcasm and denunciation, that is not one of his methods of argument which is most generally exercised. All of his arguments on the campaign were very remarkable for being upon facts actual or alleged, llis favorite method in the campaign was the hold assertion of statements from which he drew the conclusions which became the real ooints at issue in the strucrtrle. It was t he exception when he was ever charged with misquoting a public record. : Ilis constructions and deductions were always the sole causes of attack both on the stump and in the newspapers. Ithas been conceded that Capt. Tillman . made a fearless, if at times reckless . fight, and was congratulated on the ' close of the campaign by his opponents . for his endurance and pluck. The more notable of his faculties in debate are his aptness in repartee or rejoinder, and his power of self-control. During the heat of debate in the : campaign there were, nevertheless, sev- ] erai iamentaoie ianures 01 nis eitorts : at self-control, a special instance being ; the Dargan incident during his Ander- : son speech. The amende honorable, ; which was subsequently made to Dargan, was the subject of compliment in 1 nearly all of the papers in the State. j In the house of his friends Capt. 1 Tillman is a type of the sociable Caro lina farmer. Although not communi- , catlve, he is always courteous to vis- , itors and strangers, and he seldom talks J politics unless the subject is broached. : In this way he has succeeded in retaining the friendship of many who are opposed to him in policy and principle. ! The measures which he will advise, J aside from those to which he has mm - I mitted himself on the stump, in all , probability will not be known until \ the meeting of the Legislature. The compromise of the two commit- ] tees has been the cause of great and ] unexpected reaction in favor of the , nominee for Governor. The union of the conllicting wings has produced a very ; patent softening of the asperities be- \ tween Capt. Tillman and his hitherto ; bitterest enemies, of whom there are j nevertheless some who aver that present or future reconciliation is absolutely ' impossible. Capt. Tillman is credited with being ( sincerely pleased with the reunion of , the Democratic party, and it is stated , that he will assist in every way possi- ^ ble towards a perfect reconciliation. , This, in fact, appears to be the policv of the Tillman wing, as was evidenced , by the action of Col. Irby in throwing , no abstacles in the way of the compro- j mise between the factions. The policy ( of the Anti-Tillraan wing in great , part is to accept the new Governor with all possible grace and let the future take care of itself. The State already knows what kind of a friend or foe Capt. Tillman can be. and he has been j so much in the glare of criticism that all that now remains to be criticised or commended is his policy while filling the ofliee of Governor of South Caro- ] lina.?Xews and Courier.

Capain Tilluian refused j. to talk politics, as it might embarrass . him in his inaugural address should he j j be elected. In that address, however, j. he will discuss all matters affecting the j' interests of the State freely. lie spoke j: kindly of Colonel Earle, and says Earle j shook hands with him at Wafterboro.

Said he stirred up General Earle at times by calling him "pet" names, and couldn't blame him for g^ttins: on his dignity at times. lie would have shown the same spirit had he been in Earle's shoes. The reported '-still hunt" of Lecturer Talbert for the seat of his brother George was referred to, and Captain Tillman pronounced Talbert's chagre of pejury because his broteher, while an Alliince man, would not advocate the subtreasury scheme, as being all bosh and nonsense; that the oath taken on entering the Alliance did not bind a member -to. support that or any other bill.

A few old men whose strength gave out fell from exhaustion. The brutal driver, acting under orders from his superior, shot the unfortunate men and removed their chains. No mercy or discrimination were shown. Wives saw their husbands killed before their eyes; mothers saw their daughters outraged and insulted.
