Enmity to <*ratify?lie will ro into Office With Clean Hands?Will Uphold the Credit of the State?And will Pay editors in Full?Thanks (o Ills Friends. Mr. President and gentlemen of the convention: After your arduous labors, lasting as tbey have during the whole day an.l far Into the night, It Is natural to suppose that yon are fatigued. I have had some sleep, and do not myself feel any fatigue, but there has been so much sneaking, and I have done so much or it, that I am tired of that sort ot work. 1 will, therelore, be brief. There are some few points that I deem it necessary to discuss on this occasion. You. or the people of South Carolina through you, have conferred upon mo the highest honor | withli: your gift. Thesense of gratification, if I have any, is swallowed up by the feeling of responsibility which rests upon my head to-night. [Cheers] I have Just passed through one of the most momentous and exciting campaigns that this state has ever witnessed, iu some respects, i doubt if any state In the Union has ever been so stirred from centre to circumference as South Carolina has been during the past four months. Now. gentlemen, there was cause for this, and it is perfectly idle to pretend that this jeeuie CIIULJ llao uctu me luuini *. merely the engineer upon the engine which had received its steam from other sources. Most of you have heard me at some point in the campaign discuss the issues which have been presented to the people, and whatever have been the heart-burnings and ttie labor? and they have been great?I say to-night that what has been accomplished in South Carolina?not in my elevation to the governorship, for that is notning?but the principles involved in the victory achieved by the people, asserting the right to govern themselves and select their own officers in tlielr own way, is worth it all. (Cheers.) We to-night have formed a new epoch in the history of the state, and txust that when it shall come to be written the new departure which we all see and feel will be looked bad; to by our posterity as marking a time whicn every man can refer to with gratitude and gratification. (Cheers.) (?f course it is U i 111 cult for me to separate myself from this fight. . or from discussing it from the present condition of it. Somehow or other it has seemed a centre to swing around me as a pivot, so much so that the whole state has been divided Into Tillmau and anti-Tillman. For a while there was an effort made to divide into Democrats and Tillmuuitcs, but, thank God, those who started that have surrendered it, and we are to-night, I trust, all Democrats as we have been all along, and the Ditternes* that has been injected into It, the passion and partisan feeling. Is largely due to the assumption of certain men and certain organs who thus presumed todivide the people because they dared to discuss questions of public policy and assert their freedom. |Cheers.l It has been the cuwtom for all Democratic nominees for governor, or rather it would be consiuerea tne proper ming io cio, 10 uihiik the convention for the honor conferred. To mark the signification of your act to-night, to ensure the change that has been accomplished, you came here, and I came here not. to receive this honor at your hands, because the people had told you before you left home; yon knew and they knew for whom they Mere voting tor governor, and you have come here merely to ratify their will. I thank those ot you my personal and my lo'.itical adherents for your support, for your help, and it has been given with unanimity which should command any ihmu's gratitude, and I I think your masters are the rank and file of! the Democracy of South Carolina, henceforth ! nnd forever, the true and only masters in , this state. I know and feel that with my bkintness.i my frankness?my brutal bluntness you may call it. perhaps?I am hated worse than any i man in Sodth Carolina, simply bccausc 11 have told the truth, so help me God, as Ij thought it was true, and therefore I have eu ??iiaureu euuunva aim hivcu 9ur.ii | as never met auy man in this state before. [A voice: "We love you, though." Cheers.) I Fellow citizens, I have no feellnu of grati-1 fled ambition. 1 have the gratification (,f knowing that the people of South Carolina have vindicated me, have vindicated ray motive, and by their endorsement bave put to y flight and stamped in the earth the lies and slanders that have been heaped upon use. [Cheers.] [Capt. Tillman became very much all'ected at this stage of his speech, and tears were observed to drop from nis eye.] Compared with my competitors, the two honorable and distinguished gent emeu who opposed me, one of the most accomplished lawyers in this state, and the other a most distinguished soldier, what was there about me, If it was not the principles I represented, to bring about this change? I presume, for it Is naturnl lor men to have ambition, that many of you would like to be in my place. Any man who assumes the power and Is a true man and loves the sun e and the people as I do. feels that he has to '"oi.i ,?p, ut rpsnonsibiliLies. and inv feollnir to night Is ibat iny peaceable days are gone. You have put a load as of a millstone, as 1 feel it, upon my shoulders. I have made no pledges In this canvass. I have made no promises, or very few, anil I say to you, and through you to the people, that in assuming the power you have given me, it shall be exercised without fear, tuvor or affection to the best interests and glory of South Caraliua, and tbut in the future, whatever may come, I shall do my duty as I see it, and hope that you Mud the people will never be ashamed of having gone into the field and taken a new, green and inexperienced man, and in some respects with regard to government, an ignorant man and put him at the head of your affairs. [Cheers.j I leel, my friends, that I have been educated in a large degree by the canvass I have made. Few meu In South Carolina have possessed the advantage of such a canvass. 1 have in the last ninety days canvassed among 60,000 of the white Democrats of this state. I have talked to them face to face and felt their pulse,and I believe I know some o; their inspirations and aspirations. We have a good, grand country; It has glorious possibilities, and if wo, as brethren, will unite, lay aside ourliickerings and our contentions, and put away things which are of no moment, press onward and try to bring about new feeling and progress and enterprise tu the state, quit trying to rebuild on its old pedestal, recollecting that we are In the Nineteenth century and must keep up with the procession, and old South Carolina with her varied product, her climate, her geographical position, fchouid, and soon will, occupy a place second to 110 state in the Union. [Cheers.] I feel that it will be necessary briefly in vindication of myself, although, as I have said, the people have vindicated me, but for outside consumption, away from South Carolina, to say a lew words about the canvass and it* results. Possessing ns they did the press of South Carolina almost solidly, wiring dispatches to the Associated Press, Northern people and to the world, with columns of editorials in the leading newspapers, teeming with assertions that I was a slanderer, k demagogue, a dynamiter, a red-Kepublican and other things, the United States to-night stand aghast, lecling symehow that you have gone into a sort oi French revolution, a Sansculotte, who is go-; iiiir in the governor's chuir backed by b horde <?!' ignorant people. Vou know it's a lie. The Intelligence of this state?a large majority of ^ tlie intelligent men of the state are at my buck. [C'lieers.l If we haven't got the polish and the brains, we have at least got virtue and simple citizenship that only wants good government. I began this campaign on a high piano. I wanted to conduct it upon that plauc and discuss the issues on their merits. What did I have to contend with ? Vou nil know it was forced almost to a personal issue, forced to the point of my having to defend myself against the accusations of having slandered South Carollra, when I would have cut my throat rather than state anything to bring her good name into discredit. Because I criticised and dared to criticise men who were in power exercising my right as a freeman to criticise public officers, It was considered that I had invaded an inalienable and divine right to lule, which seemed among some men 1 * """ / ?w?'imw mbipbihii u }ulwm*iam to have been an inheritance. I was compelled to discuss the issues upon a ditlereut status to what I had intended, but the jury of last . resort, the peoplo, sustained me. Having as I said awhile ago a very distinguished gentleman from Sumter, who whs rny opponent, and one of the best lawyers of the State?and you know lie fought mo ably, he made the best of it he could?the people have heard my answer, and you know ttie result. That would be vindication enough here at home,: but how am I to get the news abroad, how is I the good name ot the state to be reclaimed. I' has beeu said, and is now said all over; the United States, that my election means]' that the Democratic party of South Carolina; J have been derelict, and that it is rotten. Be-1 ] fore the Democratic parly, the rank and tile i represented here to-night, I deny it. [Cheers.] Because we neglected our duties, our citizens-hip, and allowed certain elements to get I possession of the government and run it in a: certain way, and because we chose to come ( forward and take possession of our birthright and run it in a different way, does that 11 mean that South Carolina has proven herself j i to be corrupt, low and despicable? I do not think so. It is the llrst time I ever heard that even the legislature constituted the state, or 1 that the state officers constituted the state, or I that the whole Government constituted the < state. J do not consider it so. The people ' constitute the state. The people neglected their duly, and, as I said, when they choose to find fault and come forward and state wa want to straighten this matter, they refnse with an arrogance never before wiotnsscd. I said In this hall two years ago, you are darnm'ng back the water, and when 1S90 comes | with a full head on, you will see some fine grinding done! [Cheers.] I was told theu by one of the leaders of tlie opposition, or one of the leaders of thegoverntnent, "You have your party under your hat; the people don't back yon;" but tie recognizes to night whether I am a prophet or he. I do not prize the vindication you have given me for the vindication alone, for my conscience has been clear aud I sleep all nlghi. I nevt r lie awake and roll and pitch with that bad bed fellow. If the vindication hadn't . come, and had told me to "go about your busi- ! ness, you are not to be trusted,'' I would have j slept just as sweetly, because I have been ac- , tuated all the time from a sense of duty; but ! you have given me a priceless heritage to hand my children. The revolution through which we have parsed? it is nothing else?has nnturally caused a great many meu who are in high places to go to the. bottom, and has placed new men 011 top. Revolutions always do that. Those who : were on ton resisted goiug down. They did ull they could to ket*p the wheel from inovintr, but it would turn. If I am the demagogue, the crank and all tliatsortofttiiiiKS.it will be proven. Time will tell. 1 can only do the best I can. and angels will do no more. You all remember the words of the poet: "He who surpasses and subdues mankind. Mustiookdownon the hate of those below.'' , I must take this hatred as my portion. I cannot help it. it Is here and it seems to me It Is ineradicable. But I can say it milhftilly to-ninht thatl have 110 personal enemity against any Anti Tlllnianiie in .South Carolina who has treated me with decency. There are a few isolated instances where it would be a lie for me to say it. and you would not believe < me if I were to claim that I have no resent- , meut; but take the most of those that opposs 1 me? 1 recognize their right to do it, and I havcnoemnlty to gratify, therefore, I expect not to try to punish those who have op- . posed me politically. My line of conduct, so far as I shall have ???. tho rrftvornmpnt nr nnv rlirpn. < tion of affairs, will be to try to get the best men Mr the benefit of the people. I have mode no pledges to anybody. I am here with clean hands. I have promiseu no- ! body help, or an oflice, or anything of the : kind, if you do thus and so. 1 went before ' the people on t lie merits of the question'; after I vas selected by the March convention I discussed the ((Uestioa on its issues, and 1 stand , here t he nominee of the party for governor, ( and no earthly power can prevent my elec- , tion unless 1 die. ICheers.] 1 I stand here with none of* these contaminating influences which usually surround politicians. I am not a politician, thank God. There aresome things that I could wish different, and one is that those who have oppssed me, having been beaten fairly, honestly ( and squarely, should have long since subsided gracefully; but ten days ago the county in ] which this city is located, by a resolution passed at their convention, under the whoop, instructed ftsdelegates to this convention to i withhold their endorsment from making the nomination unatrmou*. ' Let's contrast things a little. I have been in politics five years. I came here in J&S6 with about 120 men?just came promiscuously people iu t lie interest of reform and ccrtaln policies. Well, they beat us, anil we made the nomination unanimous, went home anil elected the ticket. I came here in 18S8 with 110, lucking only 20 necessary to nominate. We were beaten again, and you know how like good Democrats and citizens, we nuule that nomination unanimous, went forward without a murmur, stood up to the rack like men and elecled the ticket. [Cheers.] Now forsooth, because the people, by a majority unprecedented in the history of the people with unanimity unknown, have seen fit to place mo at the head of the government, what do we behold? Well, the action of Hlchland is like the absence of Pompey's statue at Ctesnr's feast. Caesar was giviun a feast to the populace to try to increase his popularity, and in his vast villas, tine lawn i and flower garden, he hadfset here and there j the statue of every Roman worthy, but Pompey the Great was absent. The very absence! of Pompey, the man who had died for the Koman consiuuiioxj aim mr riuiuuii iiuci lv, an attempt 011 Ciesar's part lo cast a slur upon his antagonist, only called the people's attention to it the more; and Iilchland's refusal to endorse the Democratic nominee and make < his nominat on unai imous only adds?Wei', 1 won't characierizo it, but leave you to fill u out. (Cheers) I will say thut It shows that lack of patriotIsm and the necessity lor Democratic unity in (his slate which you all feel in your bones is the very essence of the life of the stale, : and its posterity. White supremacy you know must bo maintained at all hazard*, and if the majority ot white men are not willing lo submit to the minority, anil the latter appeal to the negro as they threaten to do, and as they have done on the const, it gives me no alarm. You put this Democratic banner in my hands. The Democratic banner was , first, brought Into prominence and held up by j the strong arm oll87t?, and I have no more ! fear of any effort, if it should be made on that j line, of any danger or harm coining to the { Democracy of the s'ate, except In a few isola- , tcdfplaces t'nin If^artliat I will be kllied and 1 have no fear of that. ' i take it upon me here to-night (though it may be unnecessary) but It has gone abroad and it has been told lo my detriment that I , hmi invsetfguarded In Charleston. It is an infamous lie, because 1 knew nothing of II. ami had nothing to do with It, and if it was done I didn't know it until 1 lelt tho city.! (Cheer*.) j I will not detain you much longer, but. there is one point of public policy under the) administration 01 myself and the gentlemen wlioinc you have called to take charge of the government which I deem it necessary to touch upon to night, and that is the public debt, the gravest question that confronts us uow?that is, how to pay those bonds that become due in "Jo, I believe. It has been said by soine of those who claim to have experience in finance that they fear that these inexperienced men would not] be able to refund the debt. My answer to that is this: Honesty knows no experience to pay a just debt. I have always paid my own, and in the name of God, why should I try, as has bi en asse't--d that I would, to do anything to bring discredit upon the state of South Carolina or injure her credit ? With her phosphate beds, which yearly brings In a rental of over fioo.ooo; with a prosperous state from tho mountains to the sea, (for I have been over it, and I know whereof I speak,) .South Carolina should be among the first?and 1 feel before the term of office expires.to which yon will elect me? it will be as high or higher than it has ever ' been. (Cheers.) If an eltort to refund the bonds fail, or If the old bondholders refuse to take new ones < at a lower Interest, then hom-sty demands that the state sell the bonds for what they will bring and pay this debt dollar for dollar. Therefore, I say tliis twaddle about experience is not worth that. It does not need cxperiuiwift t<> nntr un tmnAut It nnlv nAmlu (tin means. I have touched upon the necessity for harmony. I stand here to-nlullt and I plead lor harmony. I begged those gentlemen who o]>posed mc in March to let the leopard alone and he would change his spots, and they would not doit, audi used my claws. Let every true Carolinian. Anti-Til I man or Tillman. come forward and lity aside all feeling of bitterness or a desire for revenge, and hold | up my hand, and the hands of those gentle men wtiotn you will put lu otllce. I say to you ttint South Carolina is bound to move forward, and commence to-night, for we have a new epoch; new forces are at work. I feel like the state has been bom almost?not because I have been put at head of affairs; but | because you, the rank and file of the neople of the state, have begun to study your interest ioolc alter your own affairs and not leave it to a few politicians to run the government. Can I ask you to carry to your people my thanks? I ark you and yours to accept my thanks and my congratulation upon the success of the light which we have fought together. And I beg you, those of you who are , victorious, toendeaver by even yielding some of your rights, If necessary: for God's sake quit wrangling over little inessential points.-; Recollect that unity of the party, even in | tWUlllHO, 1.^ J twi i,U?VIIIUUIJV 111 those counties.
