Capt. John D. Browne, who was for
ears sergeant-at-arms of the House,
eas elected sergeant-at-arms.
Gen. McCrady said: "I believe that
his convention was called for the pur
iose of making nominations for State
flicers. (Applause.). I propose to
f'er a resolution that a committee of
ne from each County be appointed to
uggest a ticket to this convention.
'hat the members shall be appointed
iy the delegations. The call states that
his convention was for the purpose of
naking nominations. Every gentleman
ame here for that purpose. Have we
ome here simply for the purpose of
>assing resolutions, or are we going to
urn views into the embodiment of cAn
lidates to go before the people?"
After considerable discusaion on a di
Iision 167 voted for the adoption of
reneral McCrady's resolution. The
iays asked for no further count. The
Dllowing committee was then formed:
Alken, D S Ilendeisen; Barnwll, F M

The convention then took a recess
mtil nine o'clock, when it reassembled,
tnd as the committees were not ready

1. L. Orr be requested to address -the

>I the convention was to d,;se neans
imd select a can(.'-ae on whom the
Vhole people '.imn uite and give peace
md uroeperiy to the State. Ilis whole
--art was in it. The condition of the
itate was almost as prccarious as it was
S't76. Ile did not charge that the of
Icers were dishonest but they wei e not
vorking for the best interests of the
state. IIe urged unity andl saidl that a
special organizaition was necessary, for
:nt,hnsiasmu could not carry the cam*
aign. Work would have to be (lone in
very townshipi of the State and it would
)e wrong to suppose05 that t,he work
vould end here. The only way to dis
~nthrall the people was to work in every
>art of the State. iIe believedl that uf
ill)present would put their shoulders to
he wheel, avoiding strife and att,empt
ng o'ly to reach the hearts and minds
>f t,he people t,bey would lbe successful
n their undetaking andl Tillmnan would

Mr. Scarborough called for a speech

aid that lie was implressed with the
ouvlction thiat it' the gentlemen p)resent
vould return to their homes to carry

here couldl be but, one result. Now w~as

is is the puriity of a daughter to a fasther.

Lfnd the Legislat,ure it, is time for t.he
ieoplle to rise up and say that such ani

o which lie was elevated. Let t,he peo
die know Ihat, we condemn tihe course of
mUan who madL:e base ei-arges against,

estoration of peace an I harmony is

nes set, in inotioni by th.a convent,ion
vouldl result in the restoration of har

Mr. L. W. Yioumanis of Blarniwell was

Mr. Leroy F., Youmans of Columbia
text, took the floor in response to calls.
Ic said that he had been a member of a
unumber of conven ations held in the hall
ut nione that could equal the piresent
lie. Two years ago a convent,ion hadl
Lssembled in the same hall, a conven
ion of Democwrats, not, called by the
egular organizat,ion, but a meeting of'
heir own accord to lay plans to bring
bout a change in the State government
nd( to suggest, a dlistiniiishled gentle
ian for Governor. The present con
'entlon was similar; it was a meetinz of
)emocrats not called by the regular or
anization, to lay plans for a chlange of
lie State government, it not being cona
ucted as they deemed right and to sug
The privilege of the floor was ex
tended Col. John C. Ilaskell, and he
made a speech with rather fewer sting
ing sayings in it than usual. The
farmers must be appealed to rise and
vindicate the name and fame of the
State. Ile denied Colonel Youmans's
proposition that the two March conven
tions weic similar-the first was a class
convention which excluded those who
had for years served their State, while
in the other all classes were represented.
Ile talked a little about the appreach of
the time for refunding the State debt,
and the decrease in selling price of State
bonds, and the loss of revenue from
IhOs3)hate litigation.
After some other gentlemen had
spoken Gen. Hampton, as Chairman of
the Committee on l'iatform and lesolu
tion, rol orted the following
PLATFORM:
This confo rence, assembled in re
sponse to the address "to the Democrats
of South Carolina," declares its endorse
ment of the purposes and declarations
expressed in that address.
We declare our fellowship with all
true and honest Democrats of South
Carolina, regardless of factional differ
ences, and pledge our faith to the Dem
ocratic party of the State as now organ
ized. We declare our unalterable con
viction that all conflicts among Demo
crats must be conducted inside the
party lines; that the Democratic voters
of the State constitute the only tribunal
to which we will present our grievances
and the demands arising from those
grievances.
To that tribunal we do now address
these declarations and appeals.
We have a just pride in our State.
Iler history is the history of the best
and most glorious parts of the life of
this Union; her soil isconsecrated with
blood shed in defence of liberty and
right; her people have developed heroes,
martyrs and statesmen, and have re
sponded to every demand upon their
patriotism, courage and energy.
A new emergency is now here and
must be met. We must adopt new
methods and rely on new sources of
wealth and bases of commerce. We
must accept the plain lessons of present
facts. We are a borrowing people and
our interests demand that capital be
invited here for investment, that com
petition in lending may be developed
and money cheapened. Our one hope
for becoming an independent people
with surplus money is to encourage
the coming of new population and in
vestment in industries which will de
velop our natural resources and give
home markets for the production of
our farms. We must do this or see our
young men and our farmers confronted
by a hard choice between leaving their
native State forever or remaining here
in hopeless poverty.
To undertake this great and neces
sarv work with hope of success the
people must be united in feeling and
purpose, our party must be solid so
that there will be no possible fear of its
failure in control of our ffai.m we
must have a safe and.'%in-lvative gov
ernment and sa fe and conservative
methods of- 'givernment.
We M ibmit that the course of the
lie;.d of our present State administra
t',on both before and since his election
-has been in many respects unwise and
unjust.
We believe the tendency of his
methods and policy is to destroy the
credit of the State, to the injury of the
people, by making it impossible to re
fund our State debt at a reasonable
rate of interest such as is given in ss
ter States of the South.
To involve us in long and expensive
law suits without proper cause, eating
up the substance of the taxpayers for
the enrichment of the attorne3s and
coul t oflicials.
T1o keep alive discord and strife which
end(angers the party (on which the
safety of the State, her women and her
children depends) by constantly adding
to the number of the (disaffected.
To make a servile Legislature and
an intimidated judiciary and there
by to pervert what should be the re
sponsible and protecting government
of a free people Into an absolute dicta
torship. with all power in the hands of
one man.
To make the Governor the master
and king of the people instead of their
servant.
\Ve present to our fellow D)emocrats
for nomination for State oilices by the
next D)emocratic State Convention, or
by a direct priminary, men who represent,
no factions, but all the Democrats oif
the State-conservative men who will
inspire abroad confidence in the stabil
ity and moderation of our State gov
ernment, while guarding at home the
rights of the people and holding a just
balance between labor and capital for
the good of both, because the two must
work together if we are to prosper and
make progress.
We favor the speedy adjustment of
the matters now pending in the courts
between the State and various corpt ra
tions on a commton sense and business
like basis, so t hat all may bear a jurst
share of taxation, all rights may be
clearly undlerstood, all int erests may be
guarded and enterprises for the good of
the State and people may be encouraged
without injust,ice to any.
We demand of the next General As
sembly such legislation as will give us
a reasonable anid equitable system of
asseasment for taxation, so that all
may pay honest shares of the expenses
of government, and we will demand,
also, the continuation of the work of
comnpleting and opening Clemmon Col
lege.
We pledge ourselves, if enktruistedl
with p)ower, to protect tine credlit of the
State by sacre'dly meeting every just
obligallon.
WO pledge ouirselves to take no st(ep
bakwardl and to respect andl obey the
will of the p)eople as heretofore ex
pressedi conce'rning the policy of our
State governmient.
We dlenounce the proposition to in
crease the poll tax to three dlollars a
year because it would unjustly put a
burden on peop)le not able to bear it.
We pledge ourselves, however, t,o use
every just means to further develop
and Improve our public school system,
the deficiences of which cannot be over
looked.
We pledge ourselves to the most rigid
economy in the administration of the
government, made more than was
necessary by the misfortunes or the
people and thle impending defIIency in
our T1reasury, resulting from the un
wise management of the present ad
ministration, threatening an increase
of taxation next year.
We oppose and will labor to change
the present system of mannaement of
the penitentiary, U y which convict
labor is used to make cotton in com
petition with honest farmers and
laborers, but a cause of loss to the State
and her taxpayers. The convicts can
be best and most profitably used in
public works, especially on the pullic
roads. While our farmers are being
urged to reduce their acreage in cotton,
because it is claimed that our popula
tion has outgrown the capacity of cot
ton to support it, it is not right that
the State should use her cheap labor to
add to it.
We accet and respect the will of the
people as expressed in the election of
1890, as meaning the larger participa
tion and stronger and more direct in
Iluence of our agricultural population
in the control and management of our
public affairs.
We charge that the presont constitu
tion of the State Democratic party is
unfair and undemocratic and con
structed in the interest of machine
politics and bossism, destractive of in
dividual rights and local self-govern
ment and evasion of the clearly ex
pressed demands of the people for a
direct primary for nomination of State
oflicers. Nevertheless, while it is in
existence it is the law and should be
obeyed, and we call upon the people ti
resent the flagrant violation of the
party constitution by the present exec
utive committee chosen to represent
and act for the entire party in the in
terest of the present administration by
the creation of unfair rules which deny
Demccrats the right to express their
sentiments by their votes.
We disclaim any hostility or ill-feel.
ing to any element or faction of our
party; we recognize and respect the
right of others to honest difference of
opinion and claim the same right for
ourselves.
It was unanimnously adopted, though
it could be seen that many delegates
were disappointed at its conservatism.
Mr. ). S. Henderson, Aiken, chair
man of the Nomination Committee,

Tihose Counties unrepresented or

Alr. Graydon moved that each County

committee tIhe number to be varlied ac
cordling to the size of the Counties.
Adlopted.
'Thme light of the ilghit was then hiad
over the question of demnanding a pri
mary.
Mr. A aron C7ann m p)roclaimedl that
Laurenis wanted a primary for State
oflicers, and moved that the convention
demand it of the September convention
of the D)emocratic party. The house
was badly split on this subject.
Mr. Alauldini moved to amend by in
serting the May con vention for the Sep
tember convention, lie acknowledged
that to grant it the May convention
would have to violate the Conatution
which expressly provides that all con
stitutional changes must be made by
the September convention, lie made
an earnest spe-ech for primary.
Mr. A . iB. Willian ms said there wasp
this difliculty about adilng a primary
at the May conivenitioni: I f Tiillman's
party saw that the con venition recog
nized the right of the Many coniventioni
to alter the const Ituintionm so as to grant a
[primary, whiat was t.o hinder It from al
tering the constitut ion more thani that
by nominating a full State ticket'?
Voices: "The" woul o ar od
that." 1( o hr od
le adlded that he had been fighting
for 1t years for a p)rimnary but now was
not the time to ask for it. T1illman will
use a demand for a primary, if you
maike it, against you in the lower Coun
ties of' tihe State; i[n fact he has already
given an Interview on that subject and
will make capital out of it ini time black
C'ounties of the State.
.Mr. X1-3 . Murray made the convinc
omg argu1ment of the fight on this sub
ject. T1hie May convent ion had nmo con
stitutional right to order a p)rinmary, and(
if it (lid at the request of this faction
what would hindeir t he convention trom
nourinatmg a State ticket, and then
Governor TlilIlman 's opponeonts would
have to support him or place themselves
ini the at tituide or bolters, and lie was
not wiling for anything like that to
ccur.
Afler several other speeches the do
manud for a pri:nary was laid on the
table. Tlhe miost convincing argument
was th at of M r. Murray that if the oppo
nents of Tillmnan got the majority of
delegates in thme September convention
they would niot want to changc the sys
tem, for having gone through one
heated campaign anid won, they would
not like to put the qluestionu again to the
peopile and risk carrying the direct pri
mary after having carried the nrimaries
for delegates to the September conven
tion. If the Tillmanites won it would
be useless to ask them to give up their
advantage and risk a direct primary.
On motion of Air. Henderson Mr.
Williams took the chair, and resolu
tions of thanks to Mr. Dibble for the
splendid manner in which he presided,
and Messrs. Ball and Woodward, the
secretaries, were adopted.
Mr. Dibble resumed the chair, anid
the convention shortly befor,, I o'clock
a. m. adjourned.
Faten to Death by Ants.
TomBnSTONE, Ariz., March 23.-The
Indianu have always been known for
their devilish ways of torture, but it has
remained for a baud of Mexican bandits
to capl the climax. "Mutch l1enry's''
band of horse thieves raided llemry
Withers' rainch on file Carita river re
cently, driving away all hitl stock.
Withers started after the band single
handed, and Bucccede(l in shooting down
three o' them from ambush before they
discovered that only one man was vur
suing them. They sucuceded inl cap
turinghimas lie was trying to get away.
Death was his sentence. But shooting
was too easy a death. Wither, was
taken out on the hot sandheds and left
to lie naked for six hours, fully exposed
to the sun's rays. This was not enough,
and he was then carried, still nude, to a
bed of cactus bushes, where he was laid
on the sharp points. iIe was bound
tij,htly to a stake, and then a large ant
hill, which was near, was toriL open
with sticks, and he was left to his fiate.
The insects sn armed out and over
Withers' body, and within two hours lie
was dead from their bites. The ants
(lid not leave him alone. however, until
every particle of Ilesh was eaten from
his bones.
A prisoner of the band was taken
where lie could witness the whole al'
fair, and was atterward turned loose
and told to tell the people that that
would be the punishment of all who
tied to kill a member of the hand.

L A KEmVOOD>, N. J ., March 19.-"There
is no truth whatever in that silly story,"
said ex-'resident Cleveland to ine, this
eveninet.
IlIe had just finished reading the story
in this evening's Telegram to the effect
that previous to his having written the
letter to Gen. Bragg, of Wisconsin, in
which he left it to be inferred that if
the people so willed it, lie would accept
the )enocratic nomination for the
're.lidency, he had prepared a letter
for the Associated 'ress in which lie
positively declined to hoi a candidate.
Alter writing it., however, the story
went, he was pursiiaded to destroy it.
"Why," resuied the ex-President, "I
never dreamed of writing such a let Ier,
and surely If I had penned such a letter
I certaiily would knov something
about it. Well, well'" lie coitiliued.
"So they say Mrs. Cleveland induced
ine to suppress a letter that was never
written. Tnat silly story is an absurd
one, for the imain fact that Mrs. Cleve
land never intierferei ini political mat
ters inl wlich I atin con4cerned.
"'I'he only letter I have written of
late was the one to Gvn. Bragg, and
that was writ ten ini a hurry, and just
when I was on the poiit of leaving for
mly gzniming trip. 'hIat letter, which
the ('eiieral ha seeti lit to give to the
press, expressed ny views plainly. I
did not think it the tine I wrote the
letter that it would ever lie use( ini thie
manner It has, or I ight have taken

" l'hen, lr. Clevelaind, I ani to iluder
stadit tliat you never wrote such a let

for the sinple reason that yoti are in

"I do not put it in tiI:t light," said
MIr. Cleveliand, "bill, as I never d reamed
of writing any smch letter I cannot 11ii
derstand why th papers will pubish
