C\, October 9 ? In the ] presence of an immense assemblage of * """'"inoTit citizens aud cheered by the approving smiles and plaudits of hun- 1 dreds of fair women the Straightout Democratic Convention to-night for- j mally declared that the union hereto- j fore existing between themselves and i the Tillman majority under the name 1 and style of the Democratic party of South Carolina should be thenceforward dissolved. The Convention was a gathering notable in numbers and character and it acted with a unanimity, determination and enthusiasm which gives evidence or the large importance and serious meaning of the movementj which it inaugurated. All day the delegates had been gathering and the hotel lobbies teemed with delegates and citizens. The Convention was to have assemUcd at 8 o'clock, but the delegates gathered slowly, and it was ten minutes Liter before the Hall of Representatives was full. , l|jPP Meanwhile, however, the spacious BUI' galleries had become jammed with PPlif spectators, the ladies occupying front iiPjL seats and showing great interest and enthusiasm. There were chairs in the HH^H^^centre of the auditorium for over 300 l:h ^^jons. Two hundred of these were B&ed by delegates, and the remain yjiromptly crowded with spectre also seats ranged around jfov the floor and galleries ^^HflHj^HHSBBjrenvention like appear pi ^Relegation was a large j?e hall with Col. Tom ^ad^bearin^jy^^ ~ofstaodar^^^^l^topped with the placard-word "Fairfield" the red shirt which was fcorne out of the September Convention by the representatives of that county who had been turned out of their seats. Cheers greeted the emblem of Straightoutism. Ah s-if) Juda^e A. C. Haskell's en trance was the signal for wild applause. Yells resounded through the hall and the red. shirt banner was vigorously waved. It was S.30 o'clock when Chancellor Johnson mounted the Speaker's desk. His appearmce evoked another enthusiastic outburst of yelling. He said: ' Fellow-Democrats, we have assembled in conformity to the request of a conference held on Saturday last, and as a representative of that meeting I call this Convention to order and move that Gen. W. TV. Harllee be chosen chairman." TM,f siHoatinn r>f G-em. Harllee's JL*LKs ^UU Wiiv v^aww.w election and it was unanimously carried. Gen. Karllee was recognized as the chairman of the State Democratic Convention of 1876, which had inaugurated the Straightout movement for the redemption of the State. He advanced amid cheers, which grew to a great volume when he took his place at the desk. He spoke as follows: "I am profoundly grateful for this evidence of confidence on the part of the virtuous, the intelligent Democrats of South Carolina. Fourteen years ago I had the honor to be called to a similar position. Our State was then in a condition which required the exercise of all the energy, devotion and manhood of her people. 1 ou nave seen me result. "We are now here to represent the good people of South Carolina. [Cheers.] An address will be presented to you which will present our reasons for as_ sembling. "We will now proceed to business." Mr. James Munro, of Union, nominated Messrs. William H. Lyles, of .Richland, and Edward Kerrison, of Spartanburg, as secretaries of the Convention, and they were unanimously elected. The Chair requested me cnairraen of the several delegations to hand to the secretaries their lists of delegates. The Koll of Delegates.

Barnwell, of Charles- 1 ton, made the point of order that as the * Convention had been called for the * purpose of nominating a full State ? ticket; Mr. McDonald was out of order. ' Mr. McDonald submitted, as a question ( of parliamentary law, that the resolu- ( tion was debatable. ' Tmnationfp. was manifested by many ' delegates, a:id cries of "question" were heard. J The Chair decided that all questions submitted to the body were debatable. Mr. McDonald said he did not know whether lie expressed the sentiments of any one else in the hall or not. Mr. Barnwell (interrupting:) "I ask the gentleman whether he is in favor of going into the nomination of a State ticket or not?" Cries of "Question!" '-Question!" Mr. McDonald: "I am not."

I do not mean to intimate a desire to eject the gentleman, but I say that no gentleman has a right in this hall unless he is in favor of the nomination of a State ticket, and a complete State ticket. [Cheers.] 1 ask the Chair if, under the call, it is not true that the only business in oruer is to 50 into a nomination of a State ticket ?" The Chair: "The Chair is not now in possession of a copy of the call." Mr. McDonald: "If that is the purtVio /v>ll T h-.ivp nnthinr more to WViU Vi. tiiv V/Uii UHI V ^ say." The question was put, and the resolution was adopted by a storm of yeas. One "Xo" was heard from the rear of hall, and was greeted with laughter. HASKELL NOMINATED FOR GOVERNOR. At 8.55 Major Bland?ng, taking a position in the centre of the aisle in front of the Speaker's desk, said: "I have been requested to nominate for the office of Governor of South Carolina a roan whose name requires no comment from me?Alex. C. Haskell." The utterance of this name caused an outburst of wild enthusiasm. Members jumped up and waved their hats and hankerchiefs for fully a minute, and the Fairlied red shirt was shaken vigorously. Major J. .T. Lucas, of Dar lington, "seconded the nomination. JuJge Haskell was unanimously nominated by acclamation. T1IK KEST OF TIIE TICKET. Major Tiios. W. Woodward, ot' Fairfield, his crimson ensign in hand, nominated for Lieutenant Governor a statesman, gentleman and scholar, the Hon. W. I). Johnson, of Marion. [Enthusiastic applause.] Mr. E. B. Ragsdale, of Fairfield, seconded the nomination, and Chancellor Johnson was unanimously made the nominee for Lieutenant Governor. Col. Blanding nominated for Secretary of State amid cheers, Mr. Edwin Harper, of Williamsburg, and he was unanimously chosen. Mr. Alfred Aldrich, of Barnwell, nominated for Attorney General Mr. Joseph W. Barnwell, of Charleston. Mr. G. M. Williams, of Richland, seconded the nomination, and Mr. Barnwell was nominated by acclamation amid great applause. Mr. James Munro, of Union, nominated for Comptroller General Mr. Edmund Bacon, of Spartanburg, and his norn"-ition was unanimously made. Col. B. Pressley Barron, of Clarendon, nominated for State Treasurer Mr. W, A. Ancrum, of Kershaw, who was unanimously cnosen. Mr. S. Porch er Smith, of Berkeley, nominated for Adjutant and iuspeetor General Gen. R. 2s. Richburg, of'Richland, and his nomination was also made unanimously. Mr. Chas A. Douglass, of Fairfield, presented in behalf of the young: Democracy the name of Mr. E. J>. Ilagsdaie. of Fairfield, for the ollice of Superintendent of Education. Mr. Ragsdale's nomination was unanimous. AX ADDRESS TO THE I'EOPLE. Chancell or .Johnson offered the follovvinw n?!.:rpss in iustification of the putting < !!* ; ofjii ticket. It was read by Mr. \V:?. II. Lyles, one of the secretaries, in -m clear and sonorous voice, and was rd with deep and solemn i attention: ; To the i'eople of South Carolina: We as citizens, true to the principles we believe to be right, and as Democrats, loyal to the pledges of our party, faithful to the National Democratic ; party, and adhering to the doctrines ; upon which our government was established in 187(3. state briefly the reasons which have led us to present to you a ticket lor State officers in opposition 1 to the Tillman ticket. * < The lirst principle of Democracy is a i government of the people, by the peo- j pie and for the people. The Tillman government will array class against class. The nomination of that ticket , was not by the people, but proceeded ( for the most part from secret caucuses, , the people being deprived of the right to choose their delegates by primary , election. Noise, turbulence and threats of violence characterized the public meetings and converted them into riotous assemblies, where public issues could not be decently and*graveiy discussed, by which many of our best citi- ; zens were practically excluded, contra- - ry to an pvceceiit iu uia msiui v. The women of this State, who have I been the guides of truth and the em- ( ble:ns of virture and accustomed to ex- t ercise their influence at ail times of ' moment, hesitated to appear. ( In addition to these bad methods the { utterances of Mr. Tillman have been a , wrong to the State and all our people. , His speeches have been a tissue of false j charges, which every man who respects \ truth or religion should condemn, not in words alone, but by the power en- ] trusted to his care, his vote at the bal- lot box. 1 The right to vote is not only a power j ( but a trust, and when the vote is cast it | < - ? - ? ~a+' 4-V*f\ T'A^or ! r IS tUU OU uir prttt ui tuc i i that he believes the man for whom he : votes is competent and lit to fill the i otlice. It is vain to say that the action of a political party exempts the voter from responsibility. His vote affects I not only his own rights, but the rights. 1 the safety and happiness of thousands t who are dependent on these votes for j i the character for the Government vn- j t der which they live. The ignorant and j ^ V c rock less may cast their vote ll Jointly. but he who claims intelligence j. ;ough to know the rights and duties > r?iti7?>n is resnonsiblo to his < oun y and his Goal fie who vi;tes lor ie whom he knows to be unlit an-1 . : worthy, makes himself accessory to : i the wrongs committed by the officer )ted for. " ? We further solemnly allege that I>. ' . Tillman and his associates by divid- 1 ;g our people, by imlaming the lowest * *s*ions, by severing1 family ties. put- . rig father and son and brother against ' ich other, have done more harm and rought greater sorrow on the State { -.an the sword or lire or the hand of lan in any other shape has ever be- . ,?re effected. They should not be honred and rewarded for this terrible , ;rong, nor should power lie put in ' rieir hands to perpetuate the wrong. ( t is a terrible mistake to think that ' uch wrong-do^rs ever stop or their wn will. We do not declare hostility ' gainst our fd low-citizens, whatever aay be their votes, but we do unhesiati'ngly pledge ourselves as men and itizens, true to principle and right, to i nceasi ngly war againstsuch un worthy nen and methods as have thus ruthessiy torn the heart ol' our State in ;\vain, to feed upon it tor their personU gain. We w?U constantly oppose >ecret organizations if used for political purposes, and all that leads to class livisions and ring rule, and, on the tther hand, will contend to the pnd l'cr j i Government which will administer ; true and equal justice to all people, j guaranteeing safety and security of I their rights alike to all who live under ! - its proiecuug uciic. Applause was given the paragraph which referred to the injury which Tollman had done the State. After the close of the address there was an outburst of cheers, and the new declaration of independence was unanimously adopted. A CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE. Mr. Barnwell moved that the chairman of the Convention, after consultatipn with the nominees l'or Governor and Lieutenant, Governor, appoint a committee of seven to conduct the business of the campaign. Carried. Mr. A. T. IIarllee, of Marion, moved the appointment of a committee of three to escort the nominee for Governor to the rostrum. The committee tfSHBii&iflinBiiBi MWHHBHF Deafening yells followed when the committee appeared iwitli Judge Ilaskell. The enthusiasm was wild and general. The delegates were all on their feet, waving hats, while the galleries joined in the ereetin<r, the ladies were particularly demonstrative. Introduced by Gen. Ilarllee Judge Haskell spoke as follows, in a voice so choked by emotion that at times it seemed as"if he could not proceed: JUDGE HASKELL'S SPEECH. Gentlemen of the Democratic Convention of South Carolina, [cries of -? - -i j-'-: j- r. 1 "goou ana cneers.j my uh'ihis, my it*ilo\v-citizp?is, my copatriots: I stand under the auspices ol the patriarchs of South Carolina, where fourteen years ago stood your grand old leader of 1870. [Here thre'e cheers for Wade Hampton, were called for and heartily given.] Unworthy as I may be to follow in his footsteps," I to-night represent the same principles?the dutv of a man to his country and his God?which were represented then by Wade Hampton. [Cheers.] I might say that great* and noble as that leader was the conflict in which he led was simpler and easier than the one which is before us tonight. Then the State stood in one respect as a unit, now its forces are devided, father, brother and son against each other. But t!ie principles of Democracy, the principles of good government, the principles of good faith, truth and righteous dealing with our fellow-men are the same <;s then, and whoever may be against us. the same battle must be fought, however, difficult. We stand to-night on the platform of 1S7(>?just and equal government to all citizens of this State, all who are under its protecting care. We stand here against class legislation, against oppression. against the unprincipled policy of partisans. J3ut, fellow-citizens, I feel to-night I have no more right to make a speech than if I were on the battlefield. Words will not give us victory Thp creaf. crisis is mv.n :is nrm iva have no time to waste on words. The solemn and determined faces before me to-night represent a force determined on action, determined to vindicate the rights of the people, and at the ballot-box we will make the light for good government in South Carolina and win the victory. [Cheers.] I give you my solemn pledge that everything that I can do will be done for good and just government in 181)0. [Pro! ngod applause.] Speeches \v?jre also made by Chancellor Johnson, Mr. Barnwell and Hagsdale. After the speech making Mr. II. W. Shand, of Richland offered this resolution: Resolved, That the thanks of this Convention be tendered to Messrs. Joseph II. Earle and John Bratton for the glorious light made bv them for the honor of South Carolina. This ^resolution was fheered and unanimously adopted. At 9.50 r. M.. on motion of Col.

When asked if lie would state the mrpose <;t' his visit to Columbia just at b;.his time, when the opposition was th entering its forces, lie s:ihl thai he pr iad come to Columbia to get books ' from the State Library, as he needed 1 some which could only be had there, ai lie sent there, however, and could not tc lind them. tc lie was asked if his visit had any significance in regard to the conven- CI tion of straightouts. He replied : "It 1> has none whatever." The Captain said c< this, however, with a knowing look p that seemed to indicate another answer, and taking him on this line the inter- (1 viewer began to question him. a Cr.pt. Tillman was interrogated as to y ?_ Cfi-.ji'orlitrtnt mnvpnif?nt , nisYimvsui wn.jnuifji.w,.. , and convention. lie said that, :il- , though the men who were engineering . it were some of the most prominent in j' the State, he could only have one view i< ol' the movement.

They had left the party of their own accord, and 1 his opinion in brief was, in the words i i of Senator Hampton "Such Independ- ' ents are worse than the vilest Radicals." j "Captain, do you regard the move- t ment with any fear of defeat?" was asked. * i "None in the least. I cannot possibly < have a fear of such a thing. I am the : nominee of the Democratic party of < South Carolina and am as certain of fiftcted Governor in November | as 1 am that I am sitting here. Tins ! movement cp.nnct affect that fact in j j the least. 1 am going to be Governor, j i and I have never felt more confident, j than I do to-day." j "But what if the negroes are voted inj this coming e^tion. Captain. d^^Sg ^7he negroes, if they are voted to a c man in the counties where the people will not oppose their voting, cannot t keep me from being Governor in this ? election. The only thing I have to fear ] from this step is the consequences to t the people of the State two years hence, t Then the negroes will demand reeogni- t tion in the party, and what are they t going to do with them ? This is more t than I can answer, and while I have t j no fears of the consequence of the ne- t gro vote against me, I certainly trem- j iu luuim^ntvi winvi uuiv ?? w j many delegates in the city already. "Delegates!" he said. "Oh, no"; they are not delegates. Who do they represent? Surely not the people. Xo; these men, although many of them are leading South Carolinians, come here not as representatives of the people, but as representative of themselves, and themseves alone. As such they come here and will nominate a State ticket to put ' out against me." i The Captain said this with extreme ; sarcasm. Showing that he was touch- t ing on a tender point. < Capt. Tillman"then said he had some j questions to propound, and his first i was: ( "IIo\v does Columbia stand on the t Haskell matter?" j The reporter replied : '-Oh, the vast t majority are for llaskell." t Capt. Tillman took the matter ser- ( iously. i "Does Columbia think she is the z whole State of South Carolina and rules \ everything? If she does she is mis- 1 taken, and the sooner she gets over the t idea the better it will be for her." ? Col. Irby told him laughingly that [ he should not talk of Columbia, aod he e said: s "Well; but I would just like lo talk t to the people of this city for a while i and tell them some plain facts." ( The reporter suggested that he uti- ( li/.e the hotel venmda to-night, and c guaranteed mm me largest audience lie ever appeared before, but he laughingly declined. When asked by a representative of the Xows and Courier :~r his views he declined to state anything for publication. Captain Tillman Interviewed. Augusta, Ga., Oct. 10.?In an interview with a reporter of the Chronicle a few days ago Captain Tillman, when asked about the Ilaskell opposition, said it would amount to nothing. "1 will burv them too deep for resurrection." said lie. "If they could carry every | c anti-Tiilman vote in South Carolina i along with the negroes they can get they j ( couldn't beat me, but the truth is since ' I have been duly nominated by the Dem- 1 oerats of.South.

' I may go over to Cclnmbia on the Oth (: to see what they do and how they do it, * but 1 have not made up my miud yet." Mr. Tillman went out with Maj. \Y. j. T.

It has for six months past been taken for granted by the Democrats that their party would win the next House of Representatives without the necessity of a struggle, and the Republicans have apparently acquiesced in this opinion.

In ;he effort to throw dust in the eyes of ;he people Senator Edmunds, in his public interview yesterday, nominally Criticises his associates who consumnatedthe arrangement with the Senite Democrats by which the tariff bill vent through and the force bill was Iropped. Bat if Senator Edmunds ivould by kind enough to let the public <no\v the reasons given by Mr. Quay in ;he Republican caucus in favor of the irrangement it would be readily seen ivhy he tacitly concured in the arrangement. If he had been so disposed it ivould have been perfectly competent ;'or him to defeat the pro'posed agreement in open Senate. This -agreement, enginered and carried through by Senator Quay, was a remarkable piece of "practical politics." Without it there is a barn possibility :hat the Senate Republicans by holding Jongress here through October and November could have passed both the force and the tariff bills. In this evenr., u^f-1, aowever, one ui uum m rills could have been delayed until after ;he November election. Could the 'orce bill have been made law in time :o be put in operation for this year's elections, it coulu only have been effect jd by the sacrifice of the tariff for t.he ;ime* being. The postponement of the :arift bill meant no campaign fund, rhe enactment of the force bill perhaps ivould gain a dozen or so members in soutehem Congressional districts, with .he prospect that without boodle two )r three times as many would be lost n the North. So the bargain was uade, and so far as the Democrats were joncerned it is beleived it was the best ;hey could do under the circumstances, it relieved theSouth for two years from ;he impending danger which threatened ;o crush out its growing prosperity and luiet, and it left a choree for permalent postponement of the iniquitous ict. g&The present situation, therefore can Ye stated as follows: The mar.ufac,urers will give the Republican managers any amount of money they may isk,and although the office-holders will ilso be called upon on the sly if necessary, it is not anticipated they will be troubled. With an unlimited campaign ;und, money will be poured into every Congressional district in the whole iouritrv which offers the least prospect )t" bemsr capiureu. Many or tne uis-1 ;ricts where money is to be sent have dready been selected. Mr McComas ivill have all he wishes to help his . e-election iu the (3th Maryland district. The effort, indeed, will be made ;o buy outright every district in Maryand except the 2d and 3d. which are conceded to be too reliably Democratic, [n the whole South, wherever a prospect is seen of successful corruption jf the ballot.it will be instantly availed >f. A Pennsylvania Republican close ;o Mr Quay said to-day money would je belter than the force bill, While the Democratic Congressional ;oimnittee has been content with senling out documents, the Republican jonnnittee has already mapped out the ,vhol^ lield and has its plan of cam .'liijjn for every doubtful district in ,he United States laid down. In Ohio ;heir expectation is to drown the Democratic gerrymander in a stream of jold. and ir, is no wonder that Mr Mc\inley expects to wipe out the adverse Democratic majority especially created or his bfeiifiit by the Ohio Legisluture, vhere ho is aware that no draft whhh le can make for funds will be too b;g o be honored. The Democrats have no corruption uiid, and tliey have 110 source to turn o for any. They must rely upon the irt'.mi.rlo- pvnrp.?inns of the neoDle. Liitl it becomes the.m to iet the people ;:io\v the true meaning of the issues vhichthey are called, upon to decide, documents are very well in their way. mt documents against greenbacks vili hr.ve a poor show.
