It is hoped ho may ha spare 1 ma.iy years yet, and that this alluck will not — ro ve fa'al. The house occup’.ed by Mr. Juuie* Stot hart has been greatly improved by a new coat of point. Various other improvements eve going on. Messrs. Giles and Milbnro’s residences have been enlarged, and fresnemte up with paint. Jas. L. Quinby A Co. are gatfteg in and opening up an immense stock of goods, and all of our other merchants are preparing for the fall trade. Styx. Brace Up. spoke bitterly of the policy ol keeping u n- jjr,' ole ' ~8 }: as maJl agents on the various railroads when plenty of white men wanted the positions. The speech was not well received but as an act of courtesy was accorded faint applause when he resumed his seat. The following preamble and resolu tions were then offered by M**. F. M. Mixon, of Aiken, and adopted after some debate: Whereas, the State Democ , 'alic Convention submitted to the people of each Congressional District the question whether Congressmen should be nominated by the primary eleciion or Convention, said question to be settled by a Convention to bq called for the pui pose, therefore be it Jtcao’vrd by this Conven io.i, That the executive committee of tu-s Con gressional district is hereby request ed to call a Convention early in the campaign of 1888 to settle the said question and provide rules for the pri mary, if that plan be adopted. The following resolution was tnen introduced bySfr. W. It. Kolly, and was seconded by Mr. Mike Brown, of Barnwell: Resolved, That the civil service as applied by President Cleveland meets the views of the Democrats of the Sec ond South Carolina Congressional dis trict. Mr. Kelly supported his resolution by a speech in which he stated that he widely differed with Mr. Tillman inMs opinions concerning Mr Cleve land’s Administration. Considerable dscussion then ensued of a somewhat desultory character, during Which Mr. M. B. Woodward, of Aiken, Introduc ed ike following as a eubsikub fur Mr. Kelly’s ’•esclutionu Resolved, That we the Triple of the Second Congressional District, eu.- dorse the Admir-ipir^Kon of President Grover Cleveland, as Wise, Judicious and patriotic. < i Mr. Woodward then made An elo- uueni and forcible speech, eulogiz ing the Ad mi n is tra .ion of Mr. Cleve- laud,and alluding with ielling effect to themxnnor iu which he had elood by his persona! pledges as well as the pla-tforn; of the National Democravlc par,y. Mr. Woodward w*s highly partisan purposes of mere party mia- isterial officers in the departments at Washington, and in such custom houses or post offices as have fifty or more employees, which classes do not include moro th in one-fi.th of the Fed end appointments, yet we are unai terably opposed to “civil service policy by analogy,” wnlch studious _ keeps Republicans iu and Democrats out of most of the other five-sixths of the Federal positions, including many thousand fat staff appointments that ought to be filled by none but the par tisan friends of the Administration who put it into power. When Mr. Talbert first rose there was much confusion and a motion for adjournment was made before he could read his olatform. Upon see ing this Mr. Tillman rose and begged that the motion to adjourn bo w drawn U> allaii Mr. Talbert to read his platform cts it wl$ oi**. tehich he endorsed. The motion to adjourn was then withdrawn and Mr. Talbert read the above platforn. As soon as he finished, the motion to adjourn wag renewed and carried. Thus was Mr. Tillman the nominee of the Second Congressional District left iu the larch, without a platform to stand on and at variance with the Convention that had juat gi /en hi in a unanimous nomination. Certainly a most uni que and remarkable position for a rep resentative to occupy iu reference to his constituency. The geutleaunn who furnished us the facta contained in this report, were delegates to the conven tion, and they expressed the opinion that Cleveland’s Civil Service I’oiicy would have been endorsed by two to one if a vote had b«cn forced. The reason wdiy tho vote was not forced was simply out of sym pathy for the awkward position iu which Mr. Tillman had unnecessarily placed himself. The Aiken delegatee all speak in terms of the highest commendation of the hearty ’ ospitHity shown by the 'ood citizens of Johnston. The dele gates were all assigned to pleasant quarters free of expense and were elegantly entertained. mten riant.

He said in substance that if tiie Con vention propot l to endorse the Ad min'it ml ion of Grover Cleveland that he would res'gn the nomination, if tie people would give him a primary ©iection. He said he was ready to take the stump and discuss ihe ques tion with anybody, and that he would show to that convention whether the people of ihe Second Con gressional District would endorse what he had said in regard to ihe Cleveland Amniuhlrutiou. This unseemly demonstration flded ihe majorh v of Ihe members witu surprise and d sgusi and it is thought that if the no mi na ion had been deferred uutill a 1 ter the speech some one else would have ep-esented the Second Coogtesshmal District in the next Congress.
