by substituting Governor and Lieutenant Governor, for State officers. He believed that the question of primary contained within itself the question of life or death for the Democracy in South Carolina. He spoke for many gbod Democrats when he said that the party in South Carolina was rather tired of conventions. Whether it was true or not, there were individuals who believed that conventions were controlled by politicians and primaries by the people. It was not Democratic to deny the voter the right to vote. He spoke the unanimous sentiment of Abbeville, and he believed of the Third district, when he said that every Democrat wished to be able to cast his vote for the man of his choice. Mr. Ansel said that the proposition was the choice of the Democratic Convention of Greenville County. Primaries were more popular now than ever before and would be _a;Ti -II.. .. .1 i_r? nll?,la/l aim murtj ^cucinii^ nuupicu. jnc nnuugu to the action of this Convention in permitting Congressional primaries as an evidence of the acceptance of the primary principle. He favored primaries because he was a "people's man." 0. C. Jordan, of Aiken, retorted by asking if the people who had represented the State in conventions since 1876 had made such grave errors in selecting candidates as to necessitate this change ? Had they erred in selecting Wade Hampton, Johnson Hagood and such men down the line of years to 1886? ["No, no," and applause.] Had this Convention made a mistake in choosing John Peter Richardson? [Loud cheers] Take the situation now. When the county candidates got through their ravage among the farmers there wasn't a yellow-legged chicken in the country. [Laughter and apSlause.] If you turn the candidates for tate offices also on the people there won't be enough corn left to feed a donkey. Again, what will it cost to get a nomination? Would you say to the man without means, "You can't get an office?" [Great applause and cheering.] How soon will it be that men will get into office simply upon their capital. Then will not the pockets of the candidates forced to travel over the State be soon filled with free passes, subjecting them to corporation influence? Great 1 4<Onncf inn^" HppUlUSt, CU1I1U91UU iuiuturaui v^uvouuu. Cel. Rucker, of Anderson, struggled for some time to raise his voice above the din. At last he managed to say that Mr. Jordan's expense and free pass arrangement were inconsistent. No one approved the choice of this Convention for Governor more than he did, but he thought the people should have the right to choose their officers. Mr. Benet's amendment was lost without a call of the roll. Mr. Henderson moved to table the original resolution. The roll was called and the State primary proposition was tabled by the decisive vote ot 174 to 96. This disposed of the reports before the Convention. Col. Orr moved that the committee on resolutions be discharged. A motion was interposed to adjourn sine die. There was thereupon a great hubbub, which at last ceased sufficiently for Col. Orr to continue. He said that he made the motion to bring out an amendment to the constitution providing for representation in convention in proportion to the number of votes cast at elections. Mr. Smythe vigorously attacked this embodiment of the Greenville "idea." The gentleman, he said, knew that he had had that resolution in his pocket yesterday morning. He had put in one resolution (that relating to a general primary) but he had kept the other until now, and now, when a large number of delegates had left, he wanted to discharge the committee and bring up the matter. It was making an unfair issue. ' Col. Croft said that the motion was so unjust to a large part of the State that he did not apprehend that it could be adopted. He thought it useless to waste time in discussing it. It would outlaw Beaufort and the Black District. [Wild cheering, lougcontinued.] Not for the purpose of a gag law but to prevent a useless discussion, he moved PaI / rooAlntlnn IV lilUlU VV1* Vii O ivuvtuvivui Col. Orr rejoined that he could not believe that the gentleman meant to charge him with unfair conduct. He had held the resotion back because if the primary plan had been adopted, it would have been useless. As the State primary had not been adopted he wanted to get this proposition before the body. On a viva voce vote, the Greenville idea was buried under a tremendous majority amid great cheering and confusion. Col. Henderson being called to the chair, Col. Haskell offered the customary resolution of thanks to the officers of the Convention, which, in this case at least, were thoroughly deserved. They were unanimously adopted in committee of the whole and presented by Col. Henderson to Presideut Hagood, who, upon receiving them, said : "Gentlemen of the Convention: I thank you for the kindly feelingsexpressed in your resolution and congratulate you upon the work you have done. In my opinion it has been wise and judicious, and will redound to the credit of the Democracy of South Carolina. I bid you heartily a pleasant return to your homes." The gavel fell and at 6.35 P. M. the Convention of 18S6 ended its labors. For the Yorkville Enquirer, y THK GRAND JURY'S REPORT. Editor of the Enquirer:?In your issue of the 2Sth ultimo, my reply to "Grand Juror" has brought out the writer, which I did not know positively; but from recent occurrences in the grand jury "room, I was morally certain was W. II. Stewart, of Fort Mill. It was a "pitiable plaint" that this psuedo Presentment had not been published under the signature of the foreman, which would have been a plume in his cap?for him, in his Hudibrastic manner?to have said, "I wrote that Presentment for the Foreman, Lowry." He could then have been styled "a Plumed Knight the Second." Stewart lias since appeared in the Enquirer of August 4th, which is a full exhibition of his grievous disappointment in his paper, which I admit was passed upon by the grand jury, but who by their votes cannot make lawful what is unlawful. From the organization of the grand jury, in March last, to its unpleasant closing, Stewart has shown his disappointment, his mortification, in not having been selected Foreman, which at the closing scenes culminated in his usurpation of that position, by which long-established precedent has made the exclusive work of the Foreman. Of this he writes that he was ignorant. This is 110 plea, only among ignoramuses. Does he not know that there is no law defining the duties of a grand jury?Constitutional or by statute?only what is established by precedent, and that is the common law? He* could then see that his paeudo Presentment is but the offspring of a "small ambition," and a gross and unwarranted usurpation of the rights and prerogatives of the Foreman, which if he possessed that courtesy known and recognized among gentlemen, and said: "I would like to write this presentment," cheerfully it would have been conceded to him. There is an ancient law maxim, Pulsus in uno, falsus in omnibus, which is, wrong in one thing, wrong in all. If the premises are false, all deductions therefrom must be false. Stewart writes, August 4th, (see Knui-ikkr) "Before offering the report I disclaimed the idea of being officious, and refused to offer it if there was any objection." This is absolutely false, and carries in the statement the perfect absurdity of the proposition ; for what sane man, acting* as chairman or foreman of the grand jury, would refuse to hear the reading of a paper of the contents of which he knew nothing? Such arbitrary ruling would do in the times of Lord Jeffry or the High Commission. My objection was made after he read his paper. His plea was, "the jurors wish to be discharged, and that ho could write faster." lie now writes, n >>?? UUuo ?, . request." I accepted his explanation, frivolous - as it was. Accepting this explanation did not j fnake me acquiesce and accept his illegal pre- | sentnient, which I distinctly stated to the jurors, [ at the same time he disclaimed all discourtesy to | the Foreman. Take his conduct as a criterion j by which to judge?his nonsensical tirade sign- I ed "Grand Juror ;" his malicious conduct in get- i ting six of the grand jurors to sign a card, the i principal and important proposition of which is j false. He again writes (see Enqcirkh, August 4th) | "I thought I heard the Clerk read, just before ; he read the special committee's report, close j with the words, 'John T. Lowry, l'oreman."' | This is eoriect, Mr. Stewart, and I congratulate j you. The Clerk read the proper Presentment, j written in pencil,-signed as you allirm, and as j you write; then he read the special committee's report, to which report you pinned your illegal document, and to which thero was no name, and was the last paper read. Here you unconsciously testify against yourself. Writing of the presentment in synoptical form, ! Stewart goes on, "Did you hear this, Mr. Clerk? ! Did you, Gentlemen of the Grand Jury? I did j not hear that speech, or I would then and there replied to it." Who ever heard of such bom- [ bast? You are again a witness to convict yourself: ' "After hearing the name of J. T. Dowry, Fore- j man, the Clerk read the special committee's re- ' / port, signed W. H. Stewart and others," the ' name of the Foreman does not appear after that | to which he testifies. He further asserts that the special committee's | report has been interlined. Correct, Mr. Stewart. He writes that "he did not so state to the Court, because he had not made the examination." This is why it was interlined. All of the offices were mentioned in their special report except the Probate Judge's, which had the appearance of a secret thrust at that official, and which I stated in a foot-note on the written presentment was an unintentional omission on the part of Stewart as chairman of the special committee. I interlined it from my knowledge of the office. Fault-finding and a captious spirit is the character of a few men. And now to the card of Stewart's, written by him and signed by six of the jurors, and to which h'e asserts he can get more of them to sign, which apparently would overwhelm and brand me as the aggressor in this farce, forced on me at this man's disappointment in not seeing his paper in print as the legal presentment of the grand jury. "Truth,*tho' struck to earth, will rise again ; The eternal years of God's are hers." The card of Stewart, signed bysixof thejurors, is correct in part, which I will not now itemize, and totally erroneous when they are made to say: "Signed by the Foreman." I have one silent, indisputable witness which stands an impregnable barrier and which will override all human testimony on this point, viz.: Stewart's pseiulo presentment, written in his own hand, unsigned by either himself or the Foreman. It is this illegal document of Stewart's which each of you assert I signed, which isnotsigned. You further sav, "which we will demand at our next meeting." This is Stewart's strategy to get possession of this paper. All of you, or any other person, can see it and satisfy your minds with this fact. Your reference to the Columbia Record as authority for criticism on the part of the presentment amounts to naught. I have the opinion of a few of the Circuit Judges and also of attornej'S, that Article 4th, Section 26th, of the Constitution, which prohibits a Judge from applying the law to tho facts in criminal trials is the cause why crime is and has been so fearfully on the increase. Their opinion is entitled to irfore weight and consideration than thfe Columbia Records, of which paper few, if any, know its existence. If you nad examined the Presentment and compared with your paper, you would have found this idea in yours : "The increase of crime," which was a subject of discussion in the jury room, although, as you assert, "challenges and ignorance of juries" was not" mentioned. The ideas, or subject matter, are synonymous? the phraseology is different. The balance of your card it is unnecessary for me to answer. I was surprised to see six names on that paper'of men who I supposed would not lend their names to wrong doing. I know that you are mistaken about this paper being read in 'Court. I am not surprised, however, at R. M. Plaxco's name as first 011 the card. He, in this, as in all other issues with Stewart, has shown himself to be Stewart's faithful man Friday and looks on his boss as being infallible. John T. Lowry. l? 1.
