[From tho Charleston World. ] COM'MHIA, S. C., August 13,1890. It is 8 o'olook Thursday morning. Tho "August convention" is in session in this oity, in tho hall of tho Houso of Representativos, at tins hour, with tho probability of an all night, seseion. Tho convention has been in sossion since noon, with tho oxception of a few hours' recess. There woro some stormy times during tho procoodings. Tho Antis woro massed togothor on tho loft immediately in front of the speaker's desk, and led by Messrs. Smythe and Haskel', succeeded in delaying for nearly an hom; the final agony which had to come. Scattered throughput tho rest of tho bud were the Tillman delegates, headed by Messrs. Irby, Pope and Pean. IMl'OSSinil.mKH DKMAXDHD. . As fast as one motion was mado by thc Tillman side, Mr. Smythe would demand tho yeas and nays, which, of course, could not bo put, as there was no roll of delogatos before the unorganized eonvontion, and Mr. Haskell would ask where was tho Secretary to call tho yeas and nays, while the majority would back their motions by calling for a viva voco vote, saying that as the convention had no rules, it was ! bound to ignore any demand for a yea and nay vote. At soveral periods a perfect pan demonium reigned. Several dole gates would tako the lloor at th? same time and address the chair while yells and cries would go up or every side. Added to this then wore several hundred persons prc sent not members of tho conventioi who were distributed promiscuously so that at times they would b< jumbled up among tho delegates. RUPlCRlOlt TO PRK.TUDICKS. While the fever on both sides wa at its height, the Tillmanites callinj for their motion "o bo placed befor* tho convention, and the Antis usiiu their host arts to prevent it, Col Irby, of Laurens, who had gono oi tb?? stand and was standing in th rear of Col. Hoyt, told tho latte that if he did not put the qucstio: be, Irby, would do so. Col. Hoyt rc plied that bu intended to put th motion, and did so. Tho greatest possible interest wa displayed by tho ontire city through out tho day, and the galleries wer packed, the fair faces of lovel women of tho capital city bein observable herc, there and ever) where. TUK HAJJ. OI'KXS. Promptly at 12 o'clock thc cor volition was called to order by th Hon. James A. Hoyt, Chairman t. tho State Democratic executive con millee, and by his direction Co Wiley Jones, Secretary of tho execi live committee, read the call ir.id< which the convention met. Mr. Hoyt then said : "Under til call just rend, and as chairman < the State executive committee, becomes my duty toonil this coi volition to order and to prepare tl way for its permanent organizatif I in conformity to tho establish! usage of the party, and, in obedient to the instructions of the Sta executive committee, I havo tl honor to name the Hon. G. Lan Buist, of Charleston, ns temporal President of this convention." THU PlOltT 1IKOINS. This announcement brought burst of applause from tho Chark ton delegation. It was also the si nal for the fight to begin and ll opposing forces tightened their lethe for ti battle royal that lasted thro quarters of an hour. Dr. Snnipson Pope was on his fe in thc twinkling of nu eye and threw an opposing boom in the non nation of tho Hon.- W. J. Talbe of Kdgclield, ns temporary chnirmi Chairman Hoyt wns evidently i poding something of (his sort a he spoke ns follows : "It lins been the custom of t convention to ncocpt tho nominati of tho State executive cornmitt for temporary president. Tl president lins a very simple duty porform. It is to further the orgn zation by a temporary secreta Ho has no further duty to perfo as temporary president. Tho c< volition iins not. made up a list delegates, nnd, so far as I km Ihme is no roll before the oonv< lion." COCK WAS PK1MKI) ALSO. Dr. Pope: "I insist on my nm nation. There is nothing in tho Sti Constitution giving tho oxooutlvo committee tho right to* mnko. this nomination, nnd wo insist that it should come from tho body of thc convention-tho representatives of tito peoplo themselves." [Cheers.] A son; no I. At; Kit l'HOM UK AK. A. T. Smythe, of Charleston : "You have no roll of the conven tion." J. 1\ Boon, of Kdgcfleld : "I will read Artiolo 12 of the constitution. It snys : When tho Stnto Democratic con vention nssombles, it? sh all bo called to order by tho chairman of tho State executive committee; sholl elect a temporary president, nml shall proceed immediately to tho oleotion of pcrmnnent officers nml the trans* action of business. Mr. Benn continuing : "I empha size it, sir; that tinder Article 12, it is made thc duty of this convention to elect n temporary chairman. Thc custom lins been to linnie the tempo rnry officer, but it is perfectly compe tent for this convention under the authority of this article to assume the power." Col. Hoyt : "Thero is a practical difficulty in tho way of carrying out tho article of tho constitution. I grunt Ililli Inc eoiiuliiulioti dues KO road, and I presumo this custom has grown up for tho reason that when a temporary chairman is called to pre sido over the convention, thero is no roll to determine who are members of thc convention. I respectfully ask that the gentlemen who insist on electing a temporary president by -tho voto of this convention provide the ways and means, and as chair man of the executive committee, it will bc my pleasure to conform." THU WAYS AND T11K M KANS, Dr. Pope : "It is customary in all organized bodies of this character to elect a temporary as well os a per manent president. There is a roll of delegates of this convention pub lished in tho Charleston World to day. If you don't choose to go by that, call thc roll of tho counties and .ct each chairman of .tho delegation state how many of his delegates vote and who they vote for. "I insist on this nomination. It is a right the people have; and becauso it has heretofore been tho custom of thc executive committee to name the temporary officer is no reason why wo should give it up to-day. Wo have a majority, and by everything right and proper wo should have the presiding officer of this convention." [Loud cheers.] Mr. Boan : "Suppose some persons hero, who ar* not delegates, should vote, the man elected by that kind of voto would como just as near repre senting thc convention ns the ono suggested by you, sir, (the ohnirman) or the executive committee. I sub mit it is competent for us to go into an election." "HAUCH von xiiii ooosic, KTO." Dr, Pope : "I move that W. J. Talbert bc elected por^ianout chair man of this non volition. How is your nomination, sir, to bo voted on if ours cannot bc voted on?" [Cries from thc Till mani tes, "That's it; that's it," and cheers.] Col. Hoyt: "lt. has not been the custom to vote at all; that's tho trou ble about the' wdiole thing, because there has been no roll provided. The gentleman from Newberry moves that the Hon. W. J. Talbert be elected temporary president ot' this convention, that thc counties bc called cd by thc secretary, and that thc chairman of each delegation shall furnish the roll of delegates." Il A SK K M.'S "SAY." Col. J. C. Haskell: "I don't set! that wc have any right- [Cries ol "Question, question, question," con fusion and cheers which lasted seve ral minutes. Col. Haskell wore n smilo on his face, which finally set tled into nu expression which indi? cated thnt he intended to have hit "say."] After the noise subsided Col. Has kell said : "I would merely suggest to tho gentlemen in this convention thnt they have no right and should not nssumo thc right to say that th< sovereign counties of this State shnl have no voice, or be allowed to tak< any pnrtin this convention. [Cheer* from tho Antis, nnd cries of "(?lies tion, question" from the Tillmanitcs topped by a hurrah for Tillman.] A 1IATT?.H OF WITS, Senator Smythe : "Who is to vot< on Dr. Pope's resolution ?" Dr. Pope : "The del?galos of tin convention." Senator Smythe : "Who art they ?" Col. Hoyt : "Tho question is 01 agreeing to tho motion of Pr. Pope, J of Nowborry." j Senator Smythe : "I enll for tho yon and nay vote." Col. Hoyt: "Impossible to com- , ply with tho call for a yea and nay j vote. Thore is no roll." , DILATOKY TACTICS. 1 Col. Haskell : "I wonld ask tho < [gentleman from Nowborry. what proof ho has that ovory oounty lins i sont delegates until thoy presont ' their credentials and claim their seats. I do not know that you (Popo) ' ure boro from anything oxcept what j I read in the papers. No ono oan know who tho members aro until the : credentials aro sont to tho chair, and thero is no delegnto here until ho presents his credentials and claims his seat. When this is dono wo oan carry out tho organization, and not before." Dr. Pope : "It is not supposed j that when a county is called any gentleman will answer or voto who is not oleotcd. Such an act would liot be in accordance with tho high tone of tho people of South Carolina. I insist that tho roll of tho counties shall bo called, and that tho chair man of each delegation shall rise and state how that delegation votes." Col. Hoyt : "It seems to me that the majority of this convention by a resolution of two lines, oan provide for that emergency." (IKIilCK MKUTS (?ltKKK. Dr.Pope: "I insist on my mo tion." Senator Smythe : "I insist on the call for tho yeas and nays." Col. Hoyt : "Thero can bo no yea and nay voto on this motion. Thero is no roll of this convention." Col. Haskell . "And no one to call it." HOYT KOK THU lt IO HT. Col. Hoyt : "No secretary to call it and no roll. If the voto is put every gentleman in the house who feels at liberty to vote can do so." Mr. Hean: "There is no parlia mentary law for a yea and nay vote before this assembly." Mr. Smythe : "It don't make any difference to us who is temporary chairman. We are losing time by this." Dr. Pope : "I withdraw tho mo tion nominato to W. J. Talbert for tho position of temporary president of this convention." V_. Hoyt: "1 havo simply named G. Lamb Buist as temporary presi dent of tais convention. If the con vention docs not seo fit to accept Mr. Buist- ns its temporary president, then I hope tho convention will pro vide a way to get at ono." Hon. J. Ti. M. Irby: "How cnn Mr. Buist act as temporary chairman without first having been elected by this convention ?" Col. Hoyt: "Tho voto has been taken by acclamation, and I have appointed fellers to. count by divi sion which has tho majority." Col. Haskell : "Did you put Mr. Buist in nomination ?" Col. Hoyt: "No, sir. I didn't hear his nomination." NOMINATED HY YolNTMKNT. Col. Haskell: "I made it and I thought you recognized it. I said before the division was called for I nominated G. Lamb Buist, and I put my finger on him and asked did you hear, and you nodded your head and I thought you understood mo." Mr. Tupper : "The nominations haye not been closed. No motion to that effect." Col. Hoyt : "The question is on agreeing to the motion of thc gen tleman from lidgefield, that Mr. Talbert he elected temporary chair man of this convention, and a divi sion is called for, and Col. Haskell and Gol. Irby are appointed tellers." TOO I.ATK; VICKY SAD. Col. Haskell : "Do you allow us to nominate ?" Col. Hoyt: "Too late." Col. Smythe : "I move an amend ment to the resolution; au amend ment is in order, certainly, to sub stitute Mr. Buist for tho name of Talbert." Mr. Irby : "I move to lay the mo tion on the table." Col. Hoyt: "The question is on agreeing to th.) amendment.1. Mr. Scarborough : 41 submit thc proper course is to determine who aro t)ic legal inombersof this conven tion.

Those in favor of the amendment will ])lease rise and stand until they are counted Mr. William Henderson, of Berke ley: "Call in the citizens of Colum bia to carry this convention, lik % you did when wc met hero, before." THE VOTE. The vote was announced as yeas 7(1, nays 240. Tho amendment was, of course, not carried. Col. Hoyt thou put the original motion, to elect tho Hon. W. J. Tal bert, of Kdgeficld, ns temporary pre sident of the convention, and it was onrried by a vote of 01 to 200, and Mr. Talbert was introduced to tho convention as its temporary president "by Col. Hoyt. The nominations for secretaries of thc convention wero then in order, and Messrs. J. P. Bean, of Kdgofield, and J. T. Duncan, of Newberry, were, nominated and elected. Some one in tho hall nominated W. P. Bussell, of Charleston, as ono of thc secretaries. This brought out yells and laugh ter, and Mr. Irby made thc point that Bussell was not a member of the Charleston delegation. Several Antis exclaimed, "How do you know?" "Provo it." Mr. Buist quickly arose, and said : "I feel it my duty ns chairman of tho delegation from Charleston to say that W. J. Bussell is not a mem ber of this convention." A FORMAL lMIOTEST. After Mr. Talbert had taken tin chair, Mr. J. Adgcr Smythe, of Char leston, on behalf of tho minority filed a formal protest against tlu temporary organization of the con volition ns being illegal, there boiiif no presiding officer authorized tc submit any motion, no organizatioi that could vote on it, and on accouni of tho arbitrary and illegal ru lingi of thc chairman of thc cxecutivi committee in refusing thc deinandi for thc yeas and nays on the severa questions. On motion of Dr. Sampson Pope the roll of delegates was then callee by counties, from thc list puhlishci in the World to-day, and a nuinbc: of changes and corrections wen made. A l'KOTKST FKOM IIEKK ELEV. When Bcrkoloy was called Mi Weber, of Charleston,v protcstec against the names of that dolegatioi being called, saying that thoy liai no representation in tho convention and he then, by request from tin Antis of Berkeley, filed a protest in which they claimed that they wer forced to withdraw from the count; convention before any permauc?i organization was effected, because o the undemocratic, unpnrliamontar; and riotous conduct of certain por i-ons present, which made tho organi zation impossible. Thrtt Chairmai Stanland, when requested by r?solu lion to appoint a committco on OP. uOniiiuH, put on tiireo persons claim "mg to bo mcmbors of the conven tion, though tho right of thosi alleged members had been chai longed. Mr. Stanland herc* arose and sal thcro was no contesting delogatio from Borkolcy. Col. Hoyt: "In accordance with tho usngo of tho party. ll Y TUB CONSTITUTION. Col.
