E. H. AULL, EDITOR. FRIDAY MAY 13 The State Convention. The state convemTio4n meets next Wednesday. In only a iew 'f the con ties has there been any expression on the subject of a choice of a candi date as the democratic standard bear er. The sentiment in this state. how ever, seems to be largely in favor oi Parker, and yet the idea prevails that the south would be willing to take ani. good and clean democrat who woula st.nd a chance of winning. There are, here and there. a few Hearst men in this state, but so few as not to amount to much. The nomination of Hearst would mean the election of the republican candidate without an effort. What the democracy wants is to get together on a platform and a can didate and victory this year for the national ticket will be easy. There is little for the state conven tion to do. except to elect delegates. It would be well to send such as are in sympathy with the democracy of the state and yet we do not believe it wduld be wise to instruct our del egates. We are aware of the fact that there are democrats in this state who do not favor the nomination of Par %ker because they believe he is in sympathy with the Cleveland wing of the democracy. and many because he has been endorsed by Cleveland. The state convention should be har moniousi and its work should. be quickly done. It seems to be pretty well agreed that three of the delegates at large will be Senators Tillman and Latimer and Gov. Heyward. For the other places there will be three contestants -Gen. Wilie Jones, Mayor R. (s. Rhett and Col. Jno. C. Haskell. Mr. Rhett's friends are urging his elec tion with some vigor. It would be a: nice compliment to Charleston to put him on the list of delegates. but if Col. Jones stays in the race he has a great many friends in all pa#ts of the state who will stand for him. We do not think Mr. Haskell will develop enough strength to make him a factor in the race. The- district delegates are to be selected by the delegates from the different districts. Very few names have been mentioned for these positions, but no doubt. a sufhi cient number will be found to fill the positions. . Dr. Tracy is attracting large crowds to his tent showvs. His first an nouncement when the tent was spread was that his lectures were free, but that he had a box at the door and any one who felt so inclined could make a voluntary contribution to aseist in the payment of expenses. That sounded well and had the ring of tin -selfish devotion in a righteous cause. After the exhibition of stereoptlcain views had been advertised pretty welli a silver offering, it was anounced, would be made. This in the shape of an admission of ten cents to every one who appeared. This was done on Sunday night and it i2 said the tent was packed, some fifteen hundred peo ple being present. They were at traacted by the steropticans rather than the lecture. The pictures arL said to be very good.. The point is if some one had come here with the same class of show ana announced that he was going to charge for his exhibitions wouitld he have been permitted to exhibit on Sunday night under the shadows ort the churches for the purpose of mak ng money ifor himself and would he have been permitted to spread his tenm had to pay to get in nless he first paid his license? Wherein is the dif ference except that Dr. Tracy comes with the published announcemem that his tent meetings are iree to ever% bo('; and that he is in the work for the g(d he may d1 and then. after advertising himself. you must pay it vlu arc admitted and with the tent crowded every night the income mut amount to more than expenses. There can be only one of two conclusions it was feared voluntary conitributi(ns w; 4tld not cover expenses. or the ex hibitions are given for the money there is in them. It is entirely legiti mate to give these exhibitions foi pay. and they are said to be very good. but why advertise them as free lectures in behalf of temperance and not live up to the advertiseinent. A woman's idea of a man with loose habits is one who frequently gets tight. NOM INATIONS SENATOR. I HEREBY ANNOUNCE MYSELF as a candidate for the office of State Senator.
