Vl ually, he was called to order and sat down. J. E. layne. of Berkeley, was glad thatt for oneo lin South Carolina he had th- privil. gu oi* ieeting iii a Conven timi not. controlled by politicianis or th It.g IIS. Ife w%as ul,l the negro in the State had the privilege and the couirage to rise! above party atd refuse to b3 coittrolle I by a certain lass who ca,red nore ror themselves than for the wholt people of the State. The timeo hadi come for tim negro to reject, all such Influences. Every man with a thimiblefil of coimlon sense should see that there was a provideice Iii,l b efore tho negro now, which should be nvuepted. Pollticians with. their eves fixed On the almight y dollar could not see I hese thl rigs. It took men who look to the good of the people to do so and atl vise them. There were now In Soith Carolina two (sliioct eliienits lelonging to a sinfglt party. They had had a falling out upon certain meiasuires, and those meismres were not.hing more nor less than the pure principles on which their part.y wras founded. Those who had violatel thoso princlp)es were those who vero opposmi by Mr. lIaskell n(l his party. The negroes wanted all the peol)le of the .State to P:et along with out friction. Hu wouldgive reistn why the Ias - kell ticket shoulhl he endorsed and sup ported at tilie polls. Who represerited ithe progress of Ihe St ae but t.he I Inas kell iuovemlienlt? But they Could not protect I.heir own interests and those of' his followers withotit protectIng the interests of those who stipported theu in this struggle. A man was grateful to those who came to him in time of need. If the better class of voters wouild rally and maintain the (Govern -ent in tiw- hands of those who now control it the troubles which had vex et tho State would lie romoved. Experience would show how to cor rect existing evils. The idea had gone out that the negro was anxiotis to get control of the Statte as in the past. I The white man who asserted that did not know the negro. ''he better class of negroes were as much opposed to nogro rule of the State as the better h cliss of whites were opposed to its con trol by Mr. Illiman. [Applause.] ''hlev had sense enough to know that the people Wi) paid the taxes must control, but they wished that those who in future controlled should do so in the interest. of the whole people; r that fair laws should he passed; that they would be reiiembe1wred in the jury box and in the executive department. 'le negro simply wanted to stand in this hall, not. wit.h a majority, but with - a fair represnftat,ion, 10 that he coulId voice the sentiment of hij people as no other rman could do. If he could do it 'legally and could east 150,000 votes I every one of them would go for .1 udge I laskell and his ticket. [Cheers.] - )iA the Conferenc,- remomber the piatform of 1876 tipon which lampton had been olected ? Did they remember what l[ampton had saId? lIe promis ed in every county that if the colored peoplo would stand to him he would never forget them and would maintain their rights. Unfortunately Rlamp ton's promises had been lost sight of; 1but Ilaskell stod to what 1ampton hadl promised; the negroes would not turn Deomocr'ats, but they would come so far' over as to sup)port that gent.le mani without one wordo of solicitation. TF. A.

[Apl.lause.] iIe was gladI the negro lbud the opportunity of showing ho wvas as loyal to his white nei<hhor as the star to the pole. E. J1. Snette'r, of Bierkeley, said lie suipposed the idea was it wvould injutre hlaskell to endorse him. But he dlidn't thlink so. lIe advocated endorsement. J-41ne1s Robi)nson, of Columbia, dei clared t ho future hopes of the colored race la~y In this great D)emocratic move mlenit. lIe was inidependelnt of the part,y lash. The State lhad to have a white Gov'ernor and1( the negroes want edl the best man. No miatter w~hom it might offend lhe favored the IIaskell ticket. Tillman wished to change the constitut ion to disfranchise thie negro. Deoath was threatened the coloredl mani who voted for liaskell. lIe was willing to tesr, that (questien.

The nlegri) had crossed in '"16 a worse bridge thai t,his. M\embers were (lodging this respoinsililty and putting it on the ex ecutives committee. Tillman could not, frighten himu from the polls. If T'illmnan said the negroes who voted for I laskell wouldh have to (lie, there would lhe enough left to see him buried. ilaynie o)fTeredI a substittute for the comli li. fee's resolution: "Rtesol vedl t hat we re'commaendh the negroes for the b)ettermei(nt of their condition to veo the Ilaskell ticket,." Tihe Chair (Prof. Morris) put thme (question of atdoptinlg the substitute, and in a breat,h declared it carried. Mutch kickimig and confusion ensued, a Laurenus delegate appealing from the (decision of the chair. The chairman linaily said he did noit propose to be biiiozed andi woulid'L go back on his decision, but for the general satisfac Lion wouild puit the question again. There was a storm of yeas and a few scattering nays and the committee was overruled and the substitute adopted. The result was greeted with great en thusiasm and vociferous cheerIng. At 9 P. M. the following address was presented by the committee charged with preparing it. 'The address is very long andl deair bhat the real duty of the'negro is to do t whitever is in his power to overt hrow I every scheme and plan of the lema Kogues and politicians opposed mo the general intrest of the whole people, amd of course both races. This Cun veution, now nsseubled, has no other mIotV thUl to advise nud discuss dis p:ssionately what it conceives, in con mnon with the better classes of both races in theState, to be the course each ahould take, regardless of race or poli ticd. -fho tddress then denounces the ac tion of the late Itepublican State Con ventionl in deposing E. M. Blrayton front the Stat,e chairaitaship as till work of lenm;t_. ogui controlling the ring, and 1that slich iat.ionl did not rep resent the will and wishes of the party. It thun declares that the Rtepiblican party up to this Convention existed practically In the few or many olice holders under the National Govern mOnt,, and that "an immediate change ought to obtain." 'he address con tinues: "It is commonly spoken on the streets and in tho 'ne wsptpers of the State that the negroes were anxious for it split in tihe Deuocratic party, kno w mIg that a split would alford them a 'plendid opportunity to capture the State out of the hand-i of t.he ptresenlt, rulers, and thus pin;e it into ruin and 1egradation. Triorentlenea who hold ihat view and promulgate the same do Uot voice the sentiments of any iegroes ll the Republican party. There is no lass of citizens anywhere in the United States that are more interested in pure md good government, national and lo ial, than the negroes. They do not want control of the Str'e, they only isk for fair play in the legislative halls, in the jut.licial departments and in !he executIve branch of the Govern ment. If. inl short, the real and ideal principles of thm original llampton Government of '76 are carried out faith filly the negroes woald be contended under Qie circumstances. It should be reinembered the negroes have a record inl this country that is sacred to them and they are proud of it, and to it at ali ti mes and ider all circmnstances now they refer." The remainder of the address d-ali with negro progress since cmancipa tioln. Murray, of Sumter. moved that t-he retlectLion upon the action of the lite Republican Convention be stricke'n from the address. On motion or a Berkeley delegate Murray's motion was laid on the table. The address was then declarod adopted, a demand for a divIsion being ignored by tile Ch-Air. Fordham offeredi a resolution for the appointment of a committee of five to wait upon Governor Richardson and request him to give the Republ!can party representation upon the board of election commissioners. Saxon opposed the resolution as being inexpedient and unnecessary, sayig that tihe ballot-boxes %roubll be looked after and suflicient.ly guarded without afny action Ii the tuatter by this body, and upon Saxon's motion the resohition IVas lail on th* table. A motion was then iade that Mr. Ellery M. Brayton he Invited to address the Convention, which was greeted by loud and enthusiastle cries of "13ray ton! Brayton!" Jones, of Charleston, opposed the mnotloi. This being a colored me's Convention he objected to any white man buing invited to address it. 1layne, of Charleston, took issue with his colleague and iade an earnest ap peal in behalf of the motion to hear an address from Mr. Brayton, which ino lion was then adopted, and irayton wvas escorted to the stand and int ro (1 heed to the Con vention b)y the l1ev. 1t. E. WVall, who had just taken the chair. B3y this tI me the Convention was In an uproar, caused by the oppo nenits of Brayton, some of whom ser med dheterinied he~ shouild not lbe allowed to speak. Murray, of Sumten ir, jumpn ed to htis feet and wildly demanded recognit,ion by the (Chai r uplonl a quest ion of pri vi lege. Murry was greeted by cries of "Put him out." T1hie utnmost confusion and exci tementt pm evalled. D)elegrates amounted the chairs, yelling arid wildly gesticulting. Mitrray dared anyone to hay hands upon him a. II is friends crowdl around him nd~I( e~xp)otulatedl with himn, bait ini vain, he declarimur, with an oat.h, that lBrayton should not, speak unt,Il he had been heard. At this junctutre a riot seemed lilminent, and( the chmai rman, who was piowerless to enforce order, upon the suggestion of a repor ter, requeitsted( M r. Pautl Joinetr, the special State IIotuse police oflicer, to remove Murray from thle hall. Mr. Joynier at once forced his way through the crowdI, and~ taking Murrav by t,he coat c:ollar al,temipted to push and1 drag him toward the door. The nbstreperous Siumiter delegate v igoro us ly resistedl.

Prof. Morris hero resuimed the chaIr andl( by a few calm remarks poured oil upon the troubled waters, Murray be ing finally prevailed upon01 to take his seat. Mr. lirayton was then introduced to the Coin vention and proceeded to speak, andl was listened to respectfully anid attent,ively. Ile paid his respects to the State Convention which had deCposedl hint fromt t,he Stato chtairmtanship. The corrutpt agencies emnploye~d to control that contvenition couild not, lie declared. be app)roved or end(orsedl by the party. iIe then turned his attention to the present p)olitical crIsis. No one, he said, could tell wvhat the outcome would be, biut lie felt sure that out of the breach In the D)emocratic party there would result good for the whole peo ple, good to both races. lid dhidn't be lieve there was a Republican in the State that had not rejoiced over the way In which the Tillman movement tad swept the State, andl that they had Elso rejoied in the fact that t,he ino rity of the D)emocratic party had risen in opposition to the movement. It )pened the eyes of the wite people, tad aroused a spirit of independent sam, and1 the result in the future would Je a bettor condlition of things in this >ld hide-bound State of South Carolina. lie expressed thie belIef that the change which wouuld result from the present )olticall crisIs would bring about a de0 tree of toleration andl consrvaitlim w'hilch would glvo the niegroes rights mid justice now deuiled them, and that he pledge ade by llampton atnd his >arty in 187t wouild yet be tulIlIed. At the concluislon of Mr. JBrayton's peech Murray, of Stuter, denounted he act,ion of the chairman in ref using o accord him a hearing oni his ques ion of privilege as ungentlemanly and mnparliamientary. He also denounced Irayton, in whose interest he declared ,his Convention had been called, said Ia princIpal object was to split the >arty In 1892 and he appealed to the nembers of the ConventIon not to ullow themselves to be tied to lBray on's coat-tails.
