Platform of the Democratic Party of South Carolina. The Democratic party of South Carolina, in State Convention assem bled, reaffirming the principles and declarations of the State platform of I 137fc and 1S7^. and their continued devotion to the principles of the National Democratic party, and pledging'to that party earnest- co-op eration and support, declare the fol lowing principles as formulating the policy of the South Carolina Democ racy in State and Federal affairs, and invite the aid and support of ail good citizens in carrying them into effect: 1. Wise and just legislation. The impartial administration of equal laws. Economy, with efficiency, in every department of the State Gov ernment. .II. Popular education if-- the. bul wark of tree institutions. Liberal appropriations for the public schools tor the whole people. III. The systemai efforts of the RfirpihiiVm nort,g to objrt>?"l "tym* - South Carolina, by".-rhiog to parti san purposes the appointing power of the Federal Government, is a stand ing menace to the people ot this State and a growing danger to good ;iiizen3 in every part of the Union. The Federal offices in this State are made political infirmaries, and train ing schools for the defeat of honest government in South Carolina. IV. Honest Home Rule. The De mocracy of South Carolina, repre senting the taxpayers of the S:ate and a majority ol the whole people, invite and have the right to expect the sympathy aud support of their fellow countrymen in their strenuous efforts to preserve an intelligent and equal administration of tue govern ment. V. The practice of packing juries in political cases in the United States Courts in this State is a criminal vio lation ot the inalienable light ol every citizen to a fair trial by a jury ol ..is peers. VI. The extension of the fran chise, as a political result of the late war, has enlarged enormously the number of present and prospective voters requiring education iu the pub lic schools. The norden was in creased while the abii ty of the State tOjpbeiir it waa diminished. The Fed eral (Government, by liberal appro priations irom the treasury on tin' basis ol illiteracy, should help the Southern States to cure the evil ol non intelligent sutfrage. A Ndti.nal dangar calla for National aid. VII. Civil Service Reform Ap- T pomtmeuts lo minor offices under j tests that will indicate the qualifie*- j tions of the applicant. Promotion by merit. A fi*ed tenure of office j and no removals except for cause. VIII. Blackmailing public per- { vants under the guise of political as sessments converts the public treas- j ury, to the extent of the contributions called fer, into a campaign fund for the advancement of a political party, thus taxing the whole people for par tisan purposes. IX. The present Protective tariff robs the many for the benefit of the few. Tho duties on imports should be decreased, and an early ?epeal ot j the duty on ccttou ties, on the ma chinery used-in the manufacture of i cotton and wool, and on tools and agricultural implements will stimu late manufactures and be a welcome relief to the farmer and laborer. X. It is most desirable that the in- j ternal revenue taxation be abolished so soon as this can be accomplished : without rendering permanent the ex- j isting Protective system. Rigid economy in the conduct o' the Gov ernment will hasten the day when i the tariff shall be as moderate as in the early days of the Republic aud the army of office-holders employed under the internal revenue laws be ' disbanded. X'. The public cred?t^^s^iourtf and State, must be religiously main-1 tained, '. !' XII. in the conduct of affairs in I this State the Democracy have been actuated bv but one desire, and that is to promote the greatest good of the j State. Only within the Democratic ? party, and by party action, can de fective legislation be remedied with out imperiling the safety and wei! : being of the State. Domccratic unity [is public safety and private security. XIII; In the State-Justice and ] Equality tor all, to ensure harmony ! and good will between the race.-?.

The Hon. Hugh S. Tbomppou is a native of Greenville County and is 46 years of age. He is a grandson o? Chancellor Waddy Thompson, who, for about twenty-five years, wa? one of the Judges of the Court of Equity of South Carolina, and a nephew of Gen. Waddy Thompson wno was for a long time member cf Congress from South Carolina and af terward minister to Mexico during the administration of President Har rison. Col. Thompson was graduated at the Military A.cademy of this State at the close of 1300. A year alter his graduation he was elected | by the board o? visitors assistant pro fessor in the Arsenal Academy st Columbia, and rose by regular pro motion to the muk of Captain, hav ing filled the professorships of French and belie-lettres. During mod. of the war he was stationed in Charles ton, and did duty with the corps of cadets in defence of the city and at different point? in the State. The cadets under his command regarded him with great ariection and confi dt-nce, both as a professor and as an officer in the field. After the war he was elected principal of the Co lumbia Male Academy, and, taking charge of that institution when it| wa=?gfca very iow condition, he raised it to^R Iront rank of classical pchooie in the State. In the Democrat!: Convention of 1870 he was unani mously nominated for State Superin tendent of Education, though not a PiUnt?lfltti^_for. tho nffwu ?nd ho not thought ol for the position. Hf4Q0 unanimously renominated in 1878 j and agaiu unanimously in 1880, and would certainly have been renomi nated without opposition for a fourth term by this Convention, but he with drew at the request of leading mem bers of the board o: trustees, of the South Carolina University, who ex pressed their preference for him an President of the University to fill the vacancy caused by the resigna tion of Presideut Miles. Had he not j been nominated by the Convention j for Governor he certainly would have 1 be?n elected President at the meeting j of the board of trustees in Augupf. i He took charge of the public school system of the State when il was in great confusiou and heavily in debt. Under his administration great re forms have been instituted, and'he j public Behool system of South Caro- ' lina is now rapidly reaching a high ; ?late of efficiency. When Hie mili- j ta ry of Columbia was reorganized in j 1871 he was president of Iba first I ride club, and it was under his com- j mand that ihe Governor's Guard at- i . fained such efficiency as to be ac- ! knowledged hy army otlicers to be j equal to any corns in the army. Hu not only did not seek the. noni- i ination for Governor, but if was weil I known that he did not desire it, and ? this fact was stated upou the ii Dor ol j the Convention after he was nomi- j nated. Col. Thompson i;< a good pub-1 lie speaker, and his name wi ii be a j tower of strength to the ticket. -The Nominee tor JJeutenant-Ciovernnr. j John Calhoun Sheppaul waa boru ; in EJgetield County, July 5th, 1S53. ? He was educated at Furman Univer- J eity in Greenville, and subsequently ; read law in the office of Butler ,v j Youmans at Edgelield. Although young iu years he-soon acquired a j lucrative practice. He was a ?lele- ! gite from Edgelield to ihe State | Democratic Convention of May, 1876, ? and was sent by that Convention to j the National Democratic Convention j which met in St. Louis in that year. : In 1870 he was elected to the Legis ; lature from Edgelield County, and j upon the organization of the Wal- j lace HotiPe was made Chairman < f the Ways and MeanBCommittee, lin was re-elected to the Legialattue in 1878, and was unanimously elected ' Speaker of the House. He was re elected in -1880, and again re dieted Speaker of the House. The Xomluee tor Attoruej-C?euernl. Charles Richardson Miles wan bon. : in St. Matthew's Parish, Orangeburg j County, in 1829, and received hid early education in the city of Charles- ; ton. Graduating from the College of Charleston in 1840, he entered ; the office ot Hon. I. W. Hayne, then Attorn ey-G en eral of the State, and began the study of lawford was ad mitted to practice inj ?ti the Bpring of 18^ mission to in? him hia deputy tc/repreBeoTl , thej in the City Court, and in 1854 took j him into copartnership. Mr. Miles j had large experience in the criminal j prosecutions ol' the First Judicial : Circuit. In 1802 Mr. Miles received I the appointment of assistant Confed I erate States District Attorney. Af ! ter the war, in the latter pait of ? 1865, Mr. Miles resumed the practice : of his profession in Charleston, and ' in 186a he formed a copartnership ; with Hon. H. D. Lesesne. Since the f close of the war Mr. Miles has been j actively identified with all the move ! merits to secure good*government for ! his State and city. In the Fillsbury ! Lesesne contest he was prominent in ! unmasking the rascality of the com I missioners of election. Again, .in lS7o, when the infamous board of commissioners of election and ttfetr" took had, by the most flagrant ras cality, defrauded Gen. Wagener, the^ Conservative candidate, out of election as Mayor of Charleston, Miles was selected to conduct the1 protest and contest in behalf of Gen. Wagencr and his board. Mr. Miles also took a prominent part .in the Tax Unions and Taxpayers' Conven tion of 1871 and 1874. Everybody remembers the stubborn and success ful fight made by Mr. Miles against the plundering of Bowen, his promi nence in the struggle of '70, and in the subsequent proBe?ntion of the public thieves who had so long rioted in Columbia. His latest, though not least, public service was his able de fence of the citizens who were made the victima of the election prosecu tions in the United States Courte last spring. The Nominee Tor Secretary ol' State. Jas. N. Lipscomb was born in Edge field, S. C. He was graduated from the Sou h Carolina College. He married the eldest daughter of Gov ernor F. W. Pickens. ile settled io Newberry County as a planter near Chappell Depot. In 18G0 he was elected to the Legislature. In 1861 he was on the staff of Governor Bon ham at the battle of Manaesae. In 18ti2 he went upon the stall' of Gen. M. C. Butler as quartermaster, but in 1863 was made Adjutant-General of j a division of cavalry, in which posi tion he served to the cloee of the war. In J 872 he became connected with the Taxpayers' movement.

About 1874 he became Master of the State Grange, which position he haf: held continuously to this day. The Nominen for Coaiptroller-(?eneral William E. Stoney wap born in the city of Charleston, in 1830. He was educated in the private schools of Charleston and in 1859 entered the fourth class of the South Carolina Military Academy at Columbia and Company B of the Cadet Corps in his firs! class year. He graduated in| April I860. In December, 1800, he went into the State service as Lieu tenant in the Moultrie Guards, a Ptjtle Regiment, and remained with thi* command until after the fall of ? Fort Sumter. Theri, having been appointed a Lieutenant, in the regu lar Confederate army, he was ordered to Wilmington, N. C., as a drill mas ter; soon after was sent to Richmond, Va., and attached for a time to the stati' ot Gen. M. L. Bonham, in the field at Vienna. Upo i the resigna tion of Gen. Bonham in N vember, ISO I, he wa* transferred to South Carolina on general ftaiT duty, and made Adjutant General of the forces on tl am eis Island, then undere m maud of Col. C. H. Stevens. In May, 1863, he was promoted tb Cap tain. Me wes on Morris Island at the lime ol ?he attack, on the 10th ol July, and remained in Wagner, on the etafl' ol Gen.
