Greenville.
Gentlemen of the Press Associction
of South C.xrolina :
The citizens of ks#nvillc have h6n
ored we as a quondam member of the
corps editorial with the pleasing duty
of tendering you, in their name, a
most cordial and hearty weleotme to
our Mountain City. And they have
requested me to say to you that it will
give them great pleasure to do every
thing in their power to wake your
visit pleasant and agreeable.
We are all proud to have you come
here, from every.section of the State
and see the growth, prosperity and
and handsome improvements of our
town since the close of the desolating
civil war. Perhaps no town, city, or
village in South Carolina has made
greater progress in that time, during
the past ten or fifteen years, than
Greenville. Her population has treb
bled itself, and her houses have been
quadrupled, whilst her commerce,
manufactories, mechanic arts, and
schools, and colleges have surpassed
all previous ealculation,, and especially
since the overthrow of the carpet-bag,
negro.seallawag reginme. In which
victory you may well say, ".Magna
Pars Fui:"
I congratulate you, gentlemen, on
your organization of the "Press Asso
ciation o~f South Carolina." You are
a great power in the land, and should
keep up the "esprit d corps" of the
Press, by union -and association. You
are the eustodians of the politics and
morals of the State, and have in your
keeping the destiny of the Republic.
The inappreciable influence of news
papers is seen and felt all over the
eivilized world. Nothing- has done
more to 'enlighten and educate the
masses of mankind, than a Free Press.
It has in a great measure, destroyed
the. power and .influence of the orator
and statesman. In Greece and Rome
the most enlightened and cultivated
nations of antiquity, the people looked
entirely to their orators-and statesmen
for information, news and guidance on
all public questions. The art of print
ing was unknown, and* the great
masses were ignorant and uninformed.
Their' opinious and judgment on all
political questions were fashioned and
formed at the home and rostrum. But
since the art of printing, and the pub
lication of newspapers, a little over
-two huiidred years ago, and -their
wonderful multiplication in modern
times, the great masses of the reading
public are about -as well informed on
the affairs of ~the State as their ora
tors anrd -statesmen'. When a public
man now rises te address an audience
he feels that they.are-abo'ut as well
informed, through the newspapers, as
he is. Hie cannot sway and move the
minds of his audience as did the ora
tors of Greece and Rome. The press
has elevated the, people to the stand
point of the orator.
Gezitlemen, wishing you harmony
in your convention, a pleasant ex
-cursion to Cincinnati, and a safe re
turn to your homes, with the convic
tion that the Democratic flag has been
placed in the hands of a standard-bear
er who .will scatter.the Radical ranks,
horse, foot and dragoon, in the ensu
ing Presidential election. I bid you
an affectionate adieu.
President Crews said :
Governor Perry-As the presiding
officeer of this Association, the pleas
ing duty is assignied me, in a few brief
words, of returning. you our thanks
for the cordial and eloquent terms in
which you have seen proper to couch
your address of welcome. I assure
you, sir, we fully appreciate this
hearty welcome. And we realize the
compliment the more sensibly because
of' your long and intimate connection
with the history and the politics of
this State. We feel these words of
welcome, just uttered. by you, the
more-befitting and proper in conse
quence of your former connection and
long association with the corps edi
torial of' South Carolina. In the name
of the State Press A ssociation, I again
thank you, and the citizens of this
beautiful, .prosperous city, for. this
cordial welcome.
Gentlemen of the South Carolina
State Press~ Association:
1 would be wanting in appreciation
and dull of discernment were I not to
eongratulate you upon this large as
semnblage lof our membership-by far
the largest it has been my pleasure
to witness, on any similar occasion
since our organizatio n, in 1875. From
every part of the Stato-from moun
tain to seaboard-I am greeted by
pleasant and familiar faces.
Numerous as are the pleasures of
our annual reunions, they may be
made to subserve a more preectical and
-------------
labor are as essential.to the physical
man. Our annual meetings, while a
source of pleasure, may be turned to
practical account, by an exchange of
opinions and ideas, regarding home,
everyday matters in the wanagement
of our business, and futhermore, by a
free interchange of views and opinions
touching our local, State - and Na
tional afiairs our atnual Conventions
may inure to great and lasting good.
But it should not be thought that our
meetings are for mere holiday pastime
-for social enjoyment alone This is
not the only object for which our As
sociation was instituted. We propose
to make our organzation a thing of
permanence- -not a mere season of fun
and frolic, to perish on each succeed
ing year, with the closing hilarities.
And we propose, moreover, to do good
to others as well as ourselves-to as
sist -and bear our part in developing
the material resources of the State
to advance her agricultural, cowwer
ala and manufacturing interests.
It would be wholly unnecessary for
me to speak of the great mission of the
Fourth Estate, and its alost supreme
povers for weal or for woe. These are
too well known to require recital. But
%yhile this power exists we should not
forget that just in- proportion to its
potency, for either good or evil, rests
the responsibility upon those who ex
ercise it. This power-now so read
ily recognized by every English-speak
:un tongue-should be intelligently
ind carefully guarded. Its great
wand should be under the guidance of
courageous, yet prudent, conservative
hauds. Nor should it be used as a
medium through which to give cur
rency to personal pique or private
scandal. thus pandering to the passions
:tnd vitiated tastes and weaknesses of
ulankind. The newspaper of to-day
has a higher, a .nobler office to per
form. It has become an ackowledged
public educator, and the disseminator
of useful knowledge; and its influence
is felt and appreciated wherever civil
ilization has found a foot-hold. In
deed the press is in itself an engine
of civilization. It is no less, also, the
proud palladium of liberty and the
dread of the Monarch and despot.
And you, gentlemen, as the repre
sentatives of the press of South Caro
lina, hold in your.hands the power, by
united effort, to add still more to her
already- growing prosperity; and you
should never relax your exertions un
til she attain that position she of
right ought to hold-abreast Aith,
and the peer and equal of any of the
great States of the national compact,
in all that go to make up an enlight
cned, populous and happy people.
And it is here in these an-nual re
unions that -the bonds of unity and
affection can be most effectually and
strongly welded-here, where for the
time at least, all local differences and
personal bickerings laid aside, (if any
such have existed,) we may clasp
bands as one brotherhood, united in a
common cause--the well-being of our
mother St-ate and her Southern sister
hood. Nor should we forget that we
hold a common interest in the gen.
eral weal of our entire country, now
that the sword of strife has been
beaten into the plough-share of peace.
By the blessing and* mercies of a
benign Providence there is no chair
in our assemblage made vacant by
death ; for which I am sure we must
all feel profoundly grateful.
One year ago you did me the honor
of placing the gavel of this Associa
tion in my hand. With a feeling of
genu!ne appreciation of the honor, I
now retuan you that synibol of au
thority., .1 hope I have'not been re
creant to the trust nor detracted ma
terially. from the dignity of this high
position.
I now declare this association ready
for the transaction of business.
-Mr. Hoyt reporsed that the follow
ing arrangements had been made by
the local committee, acting by au
thority of the Executive Committee,
and in concert with the citizens of
Greenville, for the entertainment of

tion:

Special Dispatch to The News and Courie
CINCINNATI, June 22.--The va;
Music Hall was fair and good to st

lery and broad deep stage were thron;
ed with eager spectators. Nation:
sags with their ruddy stripes ga~
the pillars and dome the needed relit

The banners marking the States<
the different delegations enabled ti'
members to reaceh their destinatie
without difficulty. UTshers hurried1I

ed impatiently the momentous me;
sages which were to carry to ever
quarter of the U;nion the tidings0
what was done.
As the delegates sauntered in ti:
great organ pealed out the We3din
March. Now and t*heu a faint chee
from the audience welcomed som:e f:
vorite member, but when Wade Hlaml
ton, preceded by'Senator Butler, can.
across the floor on his crutches ti:
applause was vociferous, and cries<
"H ampton, " " Hampton, " echoe
through the air. This was repeate
when he went to another part of -tli
ball to speak to a delegate. It w:
the' most generaV and spontancot
eheerinig of the day.
The proceedings were opened wit
prayer, and Judge Hoadley was calle
to the chair. Hec is a rather slende
mian, of medium height, with a brigh
keen, smiling face and nervous wan
ner. With tle manuscript in reac
be iIelivered his address, commwenein
with "an earnest assurance that he it
tended to be entirely fair to evern
body."
The allusions to the nom2ination<
rilden and IIendricks, to their ele<
:ion and the disastrous results of th
Electoral Commission, were warml
ipplauded. At the mention of Ti
len's natie the New York delegatiot
with most of the delegates from low
and Nebraska, and a few from Pent
ylvania, sprang to their feet, wavin
:heir fans and hurrahing lustily. Th
iddress was somewhat long and unt
gual in merit, but it was a vigoron
presentmnent of the D)emocratic gosp'
iceording to Hoadley, and containe
nany telling passages.
No incident marked the routin
work up to adjournment except th
affort of John Kelly to obtain recog
2ition by the Chair during the call c
:he Staites for standing commwittee
rhere~ was a mJingling of cheers an

Senator Hampton was one of the

His appearance was always greeted
v ith,i entsiastic applause. Aferw
called upon the platform and said
he pledged the solid SQuth to .The
support of the gallant soldier.
Ex-Judge Townsend, an eleventh
hour Demaocrat, one of those who
changed his politics after they
i ceased to pay, is trying to get up
an independent "boom" in Marl

of "the dog returns to his vomit,
eand the sow to her wallowing in the

An old ex-Confed., who was a
gallant soldier in the gallant old
3d, when told of -Hancock's nomi
r nation, said, "He fought us like a
s wild cat ; but he's a good man,
Sand I'm glad he's nominated." It
is not the Northern soldier, like
Hancock. that Southerners dislike.
The National Democratic Con
vention
Met in Cincinnati the 22nd in
stant. George Hoadly, of Ohio,
was made temporary Chairman.
The Convention was organized very
readily, the only contest as to dele
gates being between the regular
Ne 'York delegation and the Tam
many delegation headed by the ii
repressible John Kelly. Kelly's
delegation was voted out almost
unanimously. The permanent ' r
ganization was effected by the elec
tior 'ot ex-Gov. -J. W. Stevenson, of
Kentucky, as President. The first
ballot was had the 23d; and resulted
as follows : Field, of California, 65;
I3ayard, of Delaware, 1631; Morri
son, of Illinois, 62; Hendicks, of
Indiana, 49? ; Thurman, of Ohio,
68k; Hancock, of New York, 171;

Clelian, of New Jersey, 2-; Jewett,
of Ohio, 1; English, of Connecti
cut, 1 ; Randall, of Pennsylvania,
3; Lathrop, of --- , 1. Af
ter the first ballot the Convention
adjourned to the 24th.
The Convention reassembled at
10 o'clock, the 24th. The result of
the second ballot was: Hancock
316 ; B:ayard 113 ; Fields 65. ;
Hendricks 31; Thurman 50 ; Til
den 6}; Randall 129; Jewett 1;
Parker 2; English 19. After the
ballot the delegates began to change
their votes to Hancock, E.nd he was
nominated unanimously.
W. H. English, of Indiana, was
nominated for Vice-President on
the first ballot.
The Next President.
Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock
was born in Pennsylvania in 1824.
He graduated at West Point with
Gen. Grant, Gen. McClellan, Gen.
Burnside and other distinguished
men, in 1844. He entered the army
as Second Lieutenant. He served
with distinguished gallantry in the
Mexican War. In the Florida War,
1857, and in several Indian cam
paigns, he bore a conspicuous part.
In the late War between the States
he was one of the best fighters, if
not the best, in'the Federal Army.
After the War Hancock became a
a strenuous advocate of the subor
din ation of the military power to
the civil. Since 1872 he has been
in command of the Military Divi
sion of the Atlatiic, composed of
the Departments of the Lakes, of
the East and of Washington, with
headquarters at New York.
The next Vice President, Wmn. H.
English, was born in Indiana in
1822. He is said to be the strong
est man in his own State except
Hendricks. His war record is good ;
he is a man of considerable ability.
and will add materially to the
strength of the ticket.
The choice of South Carolina was
Bayard. We thought he would
make a~ better run than any o,ther
man. There was one objection to
his availability-the celebrated Do
ver speech, in which he advocated
the policy of allowing the Southern
States to withdraw peaceably from
the Union. He is looked upon as
a sort of a Southern man ; and the
fact that he was the almost unani
mous choice of the Southern dele
gates would have given strength to
this view. His candidacy would
have raised the sectional issue ;
and when this issue is involved the
Democracy always suffers. To Han
cock there can be no objection. He
was a "war Democrat", was a dis
tinguished officer in the Federal
Army, and has a clean record in
every particular.. He is from Penn
sylvania, but as Commander of the
Eastern Division of the Army his
headqgaarters has been in New
York for several years, and he is
essentially a New Yorker, and .can
carry that State.
The Woman's Rights women
made themselves as conspicuous as
possible at both Chicago and Cin
cinnati. Susan B. Anthony and
other females of the strong-mninded
order were allowed to appear before
the committee on resolutions and
argue their cause. Circulars were
distributed through the hall of the
Convention by the National Wo
mans Suffrage Association signed
by Mrs. Gage as President, Susan
B. Anthony as Vice-President, Mr's.
Spencer, Corresponding Secretary,
Mrs. Sheldon, Recording Secretary,
Mrs. Jane Spofford, Treasurer, and
a Vice-President from each State in
the Union. This circular demanded
the recognition of wvoman's rights
and asked for the insertion, of a
plank in the Democratic platform
in favor of woman suffrage. Of
course, they did not.succeed. What
these women need is not a plank,
- I - - ~ ......~.i:..i
The nomination of Hancock has
united the New York Democracy
solidly. John Kelly. after the non
ination was made, touk the platform
and pledged the hearty support of
the Tammany wing of the party to
the nominee. The vote of New
York is almost sure for Hancock.
Mr. Jesse B. Anderson, of Abbe
ville County, was killed the 19th
instant by falling from his wagon,
the wheels passing over his neck.
Editorial Correspondence.
CINCINNATI, Ohio,
In the Street. June 23.
We are in a whirlpool of excite
went, and what with playing bands,
Democratic clubs on their way to
Music ilall, the human tide unceas
ingly flowing, the beer shops, beer
gardens, the women, and a hundred
other distractions to occupy atteotion,
it is next to impossible to write any
connected or intelligible account of
our doings either as to our impressions
of Cincimati or of the trip since
leaving (reenville. We propose to
do this after our return. Suffice it to
say that our treatment all along the
journey has been one of large hospi.
tality and kind attentioi. To the
Ciaciunati Southeru are the Pr=s in
debted for a liberality which we
dreamed not of. This company have
treated us in a most princely style,
but of that and all else we must wait
to a later day to express. This is the
big day of the convention, Hancock
has just received the nomination, and
joy is unbounded ; but it is useless to
write anything of this, as ere our let
ter reaches the reader every one will
be acquainted with all the particulars
by telegraph. We simply write this
brief and hurried note to let our friends
know that we are having a royal time,
if we are crowded in close quarters,
and that we shall draw from our notes
at a more convenient opportuuity.
Gov. Simpson and Gen. Hagood have
been with us from the beginning, and
have, like all of us, enjoyed the occa
sion with zest. Excuse brevity.
FOR Tas IHansp.
Our Washington Letter.
WASIIINGTON, D. C.,
June 23d, 1880. j
Writing on the second day of the
Cincinnati Convention, and before any
ballot is taken, it is possible to say
that everythi.ng so far has been done
decently in order, and that a deter
mination has been shown to select not
only a safe but an entirely proper man
as the Democratic candidate. The un
fortunate difficulty in New York has
been treated in the only way possible
the Tammany men, by a practically
unanimous vote. being excluded from
participation in the proceedings. The
two-thirds rule is retained. The unit
rule, significant of control by the
Democracy of each State, will be ad
hered to. The committees are well
made'up. The fraud of 1876 is kept
well to the front in all that is said.
All this.is eminently proper, as well
as judicious. If, as there is every
reason to hope, the -same discretion
should be shown in the further pro
ceedings of the convention, the cam
paign of 1880 will open most au
spiciously for the Democracy, and end
in victory.
To-day will doubtless decide who is
to lead the glorious old party to vic
tory next fall. Speculation is useless,
ence I will not enter upon it.
