The Republican Convention.
On Thursday last at St. Louis
tlie republican convention nomi
nated Wm. J. McKinley for Presi
dent of the United States on a
Gold and High Protective tariff
platform. McKinley received on
the first ballot two thirds of all the
votes, and the nomination was
made unanimous. A number of
delegates, however, from five or
six Statos withdrew from the con
vention when the gold plank in the
platform was adopted. The lead
er and most noted of these dele
gates is Senator Teller of Colora
do. A number of other delegates
who opposed the gold standard but
did not feel called upon to leave
the convention filed their written
protest against this financial plank
and will work and vote for silver
when they return home to their
respective States. Tho whole
number of these bolting delegates
araouVs to nearly one hundred.
There are two significant facts,
that cropped out during the pro
ceedings of this convention, that
aie bright with hope for-deraocra
cy. First, although the financial
plank declares for gold alone as
tho standard, McKinley himself
Was bitterly opposed to it and fa
vored any kind bf a straddle rath
efthan be forced to* stand up fiat
footed heels together toes out
and to the mark for Gold. The
reason of this opposition of Mc
Kinley and many of his closest
friends to the gold plank is sim
ply that, they are afraid af such a
plank and believe down in their
/itarts that the double standard xoill
win especially as this gold demand
was forced upon the convention
by New York and Massachusetts,
the centres of that sentiment in
this country.
The other rainbow for national
Nomocracy is the fact that so
many silver delegates withdrew
from the convention in high
dudgeon and went home to work
and vote for democracy if a silver
platform be adopted and a silver
candidate be nominated at Chi
cago. Remember these bol.ing del
egates are all republicans and
from republican States.
Thus ar* we "doubly armed" be
cause, we "have our quarrel just."
A?d McKinley telegraphed io
----HiHttis-ihm-if they couid^tTnom?'
nate bim on Thursday to put it
off until Saturday, "tell em" said
he "they can plant their beans on
Friday but do please doo't plant
me on that day, why thats the day
they hang folks." And Mac was
wise, he has enough to carry with
out the super-added load of a nom
ination on Friday.
For Gold Alone.
The following is the financial
plank in the platform of the Re
publican convention at St. Louis,
just adjourned. About the 7th of
July the Democratic convention at
Chicago will cover that plank with
one of gold and silver.
"We are unalterably opposed to
ever}' measure calculated to debase
our currency, or impair the credit
of our country. We are therefore
opposed to the free coinage of sil
ver except by international agree
ment; with the leading commercial
riations of the world, which we
pledge ourselves to promote, and
until such can be agreed, the ex
isting gold standard mus' be pre
served. All our silver and paper
currency now in circulation must
be maintained at parity with gold,
and we favor all measures design
ed tc maintain inviolably the ob
ligations of the United States and
all our money, whether coin or pa
per, at the present st indand. the
standard of the most enlightened
nations of the earth."
McKinley is a straddle bug on a
gold bug platform. Such a wagon
and team will not suit the Ameri
can people.
And when the vote disclosed to
Hanna that Gold was tc be "in it"
inspi te of his protests and manifold
objections,' he simply remarked.
"Somebody stole my nigg.'.rs,"
Hanna thought he had "fixed".the
nigger delegates, but they were
willing tobe "fixed" twice.
Ii alls by the Wayside.
At the Florida State convention
of last week the goldbugs carried
the day by a vote of 173 to 171.
Money answereth all things. There
is not a particle of doubt that
Florida and Michigan were carri
ed over to the enemy by the cor
rupt use of money, and othei influ
ences and that such a programme
will be continued up to the sitting
of the Chicago convention is equal
ly certain. And even in that au
gust body the potency of filthy
lnc::eto thwart the will of the peo
ple will be put to the test.
T.be Lu ray cost f*00.
The Meeting at Manning:.
The first meeting of the State
eampagu came off at Manning on
Monday of this week. Little en
thusiasm was manifested. Ellerbe
and Whitman, candidates for Gov
ernor wo -e there. Dr. Timmermau
was thara candidate for State
'J. rep surer, and had no opposition
and will go in beyond a doubt. But
for the one single sensation o?: the
day it would have- been insuf
ferably dull. That sensation was
the announcement that ?John T.
Duucau was a candidate for tho
United States Senate. Duncan is
a derk in the State Treasurer's
office, bat seems to have more
metal in him than the petty office
ho holds would indicate, and in
d-'fault of anybody better it is
hoped th it he will measure up to
a sort of a decent standard. When
there are so mauy strong intellects
in South Carolina who are anxious
to be United States Seuators it is
simply astounding that not one of
them has entered the field tor this
high office. Earle could have been
elected aft easily as falling off :
log and so cculd half a dozen olh
ers that wo might name.
The disgust of tho Columbia
Stale with the situation is con
tagious :
"Irby retired; Doualdson has
not filed his pledge, so far as wo
can learn ; McLaurin dallied but
did not dare; Mayfield yearned
but fell back ; W. D. Evans put in
a straw bid; Earle * entered the
lists and as Boon as he had enter
ed retreated precipitately. The on
ly man who ventures to stand be
fore the annointed of Tillman is a
State house clerk !"
The St. Louis convention was in
session only a few days. The dem
ocratic convention which meets in
Chicago July 7th, will probably be
continued much longer. This con
vention will doubtless be one of
the most lengthy and exciting in
the history of democratic natioual
conventions, in these respects to
tally eclipsing the republican con
vention just held. It is not ex
pected that the gold.men will bolt,
but that will "lay down" on the
democratic nominees by not vo
ting at all, or by voting the repub
lican ticket. The Tammany lead
ers in New York declare, however
that Ihey wiil support the ticket
??o matter who is uominated. "We
would rather," say they, "support
a silver democrat than a republ
can, although we are for gold."
In legal trials for criminal of
j-i?JOC^nV^th^^iiw^pjjesuwm a joan
innocent until proven euilty. In
trials before the bar of public
opinion -for alleged shady prac
tices, where the people are the
judges and the circumstances draw
the indictment, the rule is the oth
er way and the prisoner at this
bar must prove his innocence.
Erebus ! Cimmerium ! !
John Duncan is to oppose Juo.
Gary Evans for the United States)
Senate! And this is the "dark
horse" the Columbia State and the
Register and tho News and Courier ?
have been promising us every day
for the past week.
Ex-Judge Norton died at Wal
halla on Saturday.
Another Salvation Army.
It seerr^ that there is to be an
other Salvation Army ; and the sur
prising th;ng is that* it is to be an
Episcopal orgai.ization. For some
time there has been a church army
under Ep scopal direction in Eng
land; and it has proved so satis
factory ia its results that it is to
be introduced into this country,
as the United States Church Ar
my. The organization is modeled
after the Salvation Army ; though
it is propose!'to reach a rather
different class of people. It is not
for the slums. "There is to be a
military director, a chief of staff,
field marshals, majors, sides-de
camps," and so on ; and there"wil!
be chariot companies to travel
from place to place, with a driver,
a fifer, a drummer and a bugler.
All of this sounds strangely in
congruous in connection with the
Episcopal church. The motive of
it may be excellent; but it looks
like an awkward attempt of this
stil?, aristocratic body to adjust it
self to the growing conviction
that the church's mission is to the
masses. We are told, that io a
short time there will be church ar
my posts scattered over the coun
try at large. We wish them well
and hope that they may become
promoters of real piety."

riLLMAN IN METY-F0?R.
THE REPLY HE MADE TO
THESE BOND DEAL
i CHARGES.1
HE INDIGNANTLY DENIED THAT HE
EVER RECEIVED ONE CENT OF
THE COMMISSIONS .AND TERMED IT
A MALICIOUS SLANDER.
The State, a #
lu view of the great interest be
ing taken just at this time in the
bond matter it is interesting to
turn back to Senator Tillman's
speech made at Walterboro in '94,
and mako extracts from that
9peech, in which he dealt with the
matter, defying anyone to say that
he or Dr. Bates got one cent of the
commissions.
Senator Tillman said: "First as
to the $6930.65 charged on the
treasurer's books to the redemp
tion of Brown consols and ex
penses. The larger portion of
this was paid for the eugraving
and printing of the bonds them
selves. The balance was the ex
penses incurred by Dr. Bates and
myself when wo went to New York
for two weeks, begging up and
down Wall street. Every item,
with vouchers, can be had in the
treasurer's office. This is what was
spent of the $8,000.
"To the second question, how
much c-f the funds of the sinking
fund commission were expended
and for what? I answer, not one
sent.
"Third, who received the $124,
161.65, (this shoald be $118,125,)
the 2 1-2 percent semi-annual in
terest on the new bonds? I auswor
that I do not know. We did not,
as everybody knows, fund the
bonds in New York, because we
were antagonized by the Charles
ton banks and the feeling there
appeared to be for a gold bond,
which we were not authorized to
issue and which I was unwilling
to have the State issue. After our
failure to do anything in New
York, we authorized Mr. Rhiud to
negotiate the loan of five and a
quarter million of 4 1-2 pei cent,
bonds at par, and expressly in
formed him that if he could sdi
them so as to get any commission
it weuld be all right, but that the
State would not pay him one cent.
So far as Mr. Rhind's financial
3tandiug was concerned, it did not
concern us. We were dealing with
bim as a broker, who appeared to
know his business and who had
discretion and judgment. His as
sociates in the work with the syn
iicate, and who g:>t part of what
ever commission he received, were
Messrs. Lancaster & Williams of
Richmond. I say this however,
that no member of the syndicate
-Lancaster, Williams, Rhind or
my other man-has ever paid one
;ent of this commission to any
3ody in South Carolina that I
enow of, and I def}' anybody on
?arth" under the earth or anvwhe.-e
dse to trace any of this money to
South Carolina, or say that Bates
>r I got one dollar of it."
