Platform of tlie Repubh:an Par
. ty ot. South Carolina.
1. Tho republican party of the
slate of South Carolina, in convention
assembled, believing tluit the princi
ples of equal civil and political rights
' arc vital to the interests of good
government, and that they can only
, be enforced by the party which has
engrailed them upon tho state and
; national constitutions, hereby reaf
firms its confidence in the national
republican party by pledging firm
adherence to the platform adopted by
the Cincinnati convention in this the
one hundredth year of American in
dependence.
2. Wc hereby jdedgc our undivi
ded support to the standard bearers
of that parly,.Rutherford 15. Hayes
and William A. Wheeler, whose un
blemished and statesmanlike record
in the past is sufficient assurance that
all reform lying within 'the province
of their respective offices will be
earnestly prosecuted and the nation
al government wisely and cconomi
cally adminislsrcd, with due regard
to the rights and interests of the
whole American people.
Wc heartil) endorse the adminis
I tration of President Grant, so honest
ly and economically conducted as to
exalt the nation in the estimation of
tho world and advance its faith and
credit. Wc recognize in the soldier
states man and president a linn, devo
ted lover of American liberty, a stern
unflinching champion and protector
of the rights of American citizens at
[ home and abroad, and we will ever
i hold in grateful remembrance his
eh < ds in war, iu peace, in nil th t
mai.es our country great--though
the youngest of the nation?, yet the
cipufl of'?ll. ? * r |
?I. '1 hat in pn.coiiting t?> the yen- |
pie of South Carolina our nominees
lor the' li;gh officio of the state for
tlie eonii-'g two years; we believe we
frbi old make plain ami unmistakable
j 11 c i.ims ami principles to which we
I <l pledged, in ilie'event of their
eleeth-h; hot in glittering ^moralities
t-l reform, but in specific and substan
tial articles.
;">. We declare our abhorrence and
repudiation of nil forms of violence,
intimidation or fraud in tho conduct
of elections, or for political purposes,
and denounce the same as a crime
against the lihcity of American citi
/ ms as well as the common rights of
humanity; ami, while we insist upon
and will jealously guard the right of
every citizen freely to choose his
political party, and deny the unfoun
ded charge that the republican party
countenances any intcrfcreacc with
colored voters who may choose to vote
the democratic ticket; we protest
against and denounce the practice now
inaugurated by the democratic party
in this state of attending republican
meetings and by show of force and
other lerms of intimidation of dis
turbing such meetings or taking part
therein without the consent or invita
tion of the party calling them.
G. We pledge ourselves to thorough
reform in all departments of the state
government; where abuses shall be
found to exist, and, as an earnest of
the same, declare our purpose of sub
mitting to the qualified voters of the
State the following specific reforms as.
amendments to the State constitution.
1. That the present adjustment of
the bonded debt of the State shall be
inviolable.'
2. That the general assembly shall
meet only once in every two years,
and that tho length of no session
thereof shall exceed seventy days.
3. That the number of sessions of
courts of general sessions and common
pleas shall he reduced to two annu
ally in each county, with power re
served to the judges to call special
sessions when necessary.
4. That the veto power of the
governor shall bo so modified as to
allow of tho disapproval of a part
without effect upon the rest of an
act.
5. That agricultural interests shall
be relieved from burdensome taxa
tion by more cqutiablc distribution
of tnxes and by the inauguration of a
.system of licenses fixed upon fair prin
ciples.
G. That no public funds shall ever
be used for .the support of sectarian
institutions.
7. That the enormous evil of local
and special legislation shall be prohi
bited whenever private interests can
be protected under general laws.
8. And inasmuch as the system of
free schools was created in tho .State
by the Republican party, and should
be especially lostcrcd and protected
by ;it, wc pledge ourbolves to the sup
port of the. amendment to the Slate
constitution, now before the people,
establishing a permanent tax for the
support of free schools, and prevent
ing the removal of school funds from
the counties where praised.
7. Wc pledge ourselves and the
nominees of the Republican party of
this Stale to the securing of the fol
lowing purposes by legislative enact
ment.
1. The further and lowest reduction
of salaries of all puhficservauts con- j
sis tent with the necessities of govern- i
111211t.
2. The reduction of fees and costs,
especially of attorneys in civil cases,
and the amendment of the laws gov
erning the settlement of estates in
such manner as to secure a more
economical administration and settle
ment of small estates.
o. The immediate repeal of the
agiiculturnl lien law.
4. Public printing to be reduced at
least one-third of the present appro
priation. -
5. Convict labor to bo utilized un
der such laws as shall secure bumano
treatment, and t!>o support of con
victs without needless expense to the
Slate, ., , . ._St
I). The annual appropriations for
! public institution^ to be economically
made ami properly expended.
7. The number of trial justices to
be reduced throughout the State, and
oaeh justice to b;? assigned to specific
territoiy, with moderate salaries to
'cover costs of criminal business, ad
justed in prop rti>>n to population.
S. Recognizing the enorm ms ex
pen.-e of fencing farms, anil the
senreity of timber in some sections of
the Mate, we feel it to be noecssary
that practical relief he afforded to the
people of the State, and we pledge
ourselves to secure such legislation
upon the subjects as will give to the
electors of each comity the right to
regulate this question for thcmsclvcs
U. That whereas in some of the
upper counties of the State certain
evil disposed persons have induced
many citizens to diregard and violate
the revenue laws of the United States,
by representing them to be oppressive,
and in violation of the rights of the
citizen j and it is apparent from the
action of the national democratic
house of representatives that the
revenue tax will he continued, we
therefore earnestly recommend that
his Excellency, the Prcridcnt of the
United States, do grant a general am
nesty and pardon for all violations
previous lo this time. And the sena
tors are hereby instructed, and the
representatives in Congress nie re
quested, to urge this action without
delay.
10. Wc charge the democratic
pnrl3' with perversion of all truth
and history; with opposition to all the
interests of the masses; with fostering
class preferences and discriminations;
with a denial of rights to those who
do not accept their political dogmas;
with constant and persistent antagon
ism to the principles of justice and
humanity; with a resistance to the
manifest will of the people and spirit
of the age; with a determination to
make slavery national and liberty
sectional; with a purpose to rend tho
union in twain to perpetuate human
bondage; with plunging the nation
into a fratricidal war; with deluging
the land in blood and filling it with
sorrow atid distress; with burdening
tho people with a debt that makes a
higher taxation necessary and con
tinuous; with opposition to the recon
struction of the States thoy had vio
li tly forced into confederacy; with
^resistance to the passage antl ratifica
tion of the amendments to the consti
tution of the United States made
^accessary by the results of tlic war,
.which clothed the humblest in the
Bation with citizenship .and' placed in

cTomniunilics; with assa.'sinations and

was a steadfast adherence to the
principles of the republican party;
with thron tenings of violence and
ilcAth against those who advocate tec
perpetuity of the republican party;
.wjith armed preparation and hostile
intent in the States of the South,
intending by .such a formidable array
frighten or force Republicans into
n support of their party ami partisans,
or to remain away from the polls;
with dissembling to the North by
assurances of an acceptance of the re
sults of the war, a desire for recon

opportunity to secure what they have

A Remarkable Family.
About sixty miles cost of Albany,
on the Boston road, is situated the
town of Washington, Mass. High up -
among, the Berkshire hills, it has*
little to boast of, cither in soil or
population. It is one of those char
acteristic New England towns- in
which the inhabitants love to repeat
the saying, when asked, " What can
you raise here?" "We build school
houses and raise men." Ex-Goveruor
E. D. Morgan was one of the products [
of this town. Not far from his birth 1
place resides, to-day a family by the
name of Tettro. The husband, Isaac,
was born in Canada, in 1319, but has
been a resident of this country for
over twenty years. When abou t
thirty-two years of age he was mar
ried to Lidia Doras, a widow with
three children, making twenty-live iu
all which she has brought into the
world. She was fifty-six years old
when her last child was born. Of this
numerous progeny there was only one
pair of twin?; two only died in
infancy; seven died after their growth,
and sixteen arc living. Ten were
boys and fifteen girls. The second
crop, or grand children, at present,
numbers thirty-t'ircc.
The mother of this great family was
one of sixteen children, by the name
ofSheppard. She was married when
she was sixteen, ami widowed five
years after, in which state she re
mained three years. Her married
life, comprises thirty-seven years.?
