The .Convention was a gathering notable in numbers and character and it acted with a unanimity, determination and enthusiasm which j gives evidence or the large importanctaml serious meaning of the movement, Which it inaugurated. All day the delot? s had been gathering and the hotel lobbies teemed with delegates and Citizens. The Convention was to have assembled at 8 o'clock, but the delegates gathered slowly, and it was ten minutes later before the Hall of Representatives was full. .Meanwhile, however, the spacious galleries had become jammed with bi eetators, tho ladies occupying front Bt;its ancl showing great interest and j enthusiasm. There were chairs in the centre of the auditorium for over !10<) persons. Two hundred of these were occupied by delegates, and the remainder were promptly crowded with spec-1 tators, as were also seats ranged around ' the hull, J loth the Moor and galleries presented a convention like appearance. The Fairfield delegation was a large one. It entered the hall with Col. Tom "Woodward at the head, bearing by way oi standard 011 a pole, topped with the placard-word "Fairfield" the red shirt which was borne out of the September Convention by the representatives of that county who had been turned out of their seats. Cheers greeted the emblem of Straightoutism. At 8:10 Judge A. C. Haskell's entrance was t he signal for wild applause. Yells resounded through the hall and the red shirt banner was vigorously waved. It was 8.JO o'clock when Chancellor Johnson mounted the Speaker's desk. His appearance evoked another enthusiastic outburst of yelling, lie said: "Fellow-Democrats, we have assembled in conformity to the request of a conference held on Saturday last, and as a representative of that meeting i call tills Convention to order and move that Ceil.

The lirst prineiple of Democracy is a government of the people, hy the people and for the people, i'hc Tillman government will array class against id ass. Ihe nomination of that ticket was not hy the people, hut proceeded lor the most part from cret caucuses, Hih people being deprived of the right to chojse their delegates !?y primary election. .Noise, t m imleiiee and threats >1 violence characterized the piildie meetings and converted them into riotmis assemblies, where public issues Bonld not. lie decently and gravely dismissed, by which many of our best citizens \\? re pr.i' t icallv excluded, contrary to id) precedent in our history. The women of this State, who have awytfrM moment, hesitated to appear. In addition to these laid methods the utterances of Mr. Tillmar* have been a wroinj to the State aiul all our people. 11 is speeches have been a tissue ol' false chances, which every man who respects truth or religion should condemn, not iu words alone, hut by the power en trusted to his care, his vote at tlio ballot. box. Tl i' right to vote is not only a povvel but a trust, ami when the vote is cast il is tli!1 assert i on the part of the votei that he believe* the man for whom In votes is competent ami lit to (ill the cilice. It is vain to say that the actior of u political parly exempts the votei from responsibility. Ills vote affect' n<?t only his own rights, but the rights the safety and happiness of thousand: who an-dependent on these votes foi the character for the tioverninent un der which they live.

He who votes t'oi one whom he knows to be unlit am unworthy, makes himself accessory t< all the wrongs committed by the ollieei voted for. Wo further solemnly allege that 11 It. Tillman and his associates by iltviil ing our people, by inflaming the lowes passions,by severing fatnilv ties, put ting latin r and son ami brother agains each other, have done more harm am brought, greater sorrow on the Stat than tin! sword or lire or the hand o man in any other shape has ever tit fore effected. They should not lie hon orgd and rewarded for tins terribl , wrong, nor should power be put i | their hands to perpetuate the wrong ( It is a terrible mistake to think tlui such wrong-doers ever slop of thei own will. We do not declare hostilit against, our fellow-citizens, whatevt | uiay be their votes, but we do unites i tatingly pledge ourselves as men an cm/ens, irue id principle .11111 rigui, i unceasingly war against such un worth | men and methods as have thus rati 1 -ssiy torn tin; heart of our State i twain, to fecal upon#t lor Uieir persoi al gain.
