SP.NATOn liuiv'n HI'EBCH,
If I >voro to consult my own fool
ings I should not utter a word -on thin
question ; hut, Mr. President. 'occupy
ing the position that I <lo, holding rt
high trust as the guardian of tho Dom
oeroey of Houth Carolina, wor0 I to
faiWfi respond for tho grand old party
when sho has beeu challenged, (and
shaino for it) by her greatest bonefloi
ary. I say, Mr. President, not in ill
will, but in truth ond eandor and
honor, to the ncoplo of the Htato, that
when thin "10(Jgotlold Domoorat, an he
has so proudly proclaimed himself upon
this floor, challenges the party over
which 1 have tho honor to preside,
that 1 should be recreant to my duty
if 1 did not defend it.
When this Kdgefiold Democrat who
wos tnkeu from a lowly position, but
an honorable one, j?ud raised to tho
highest in the gift of tho people of
Houth Carolina, proclaimed himself as
an "Kdgolleld Democrat." 1 must Hay
that 1 know boforo what on "Edgo
fiold Democrat" was. (Applauso.)
Mart ( lai*y was an "Edgefield Demo
crat." (Applauso.) Hut, Mr. President,
Mart ( lory was not that kind of an
Edgefield Democrat. IV! art Clary was
a Houth Carolina Democrat. (Cheers.)
Now, Mr. President, where aro wo ?
I regret that I have to talk so plainly
nit i am talking here? who aro
we? What aro we? How came wo
here in this convention? You have all
heard of the manifesto that was issued
in 1800. It iH a prominent document.
Tho people of tho Htate have a right to
know about it. fdiud something to do
with tho revision of that document bo
fore it was issued. That document
wan at lirst so framed that it addressed
all the people of tho Stato ? white,
black, Republicans and Democrats
alike. 1 entered my protest that un
less it was changed, I, as a Democrat
and loyal son of the State, would not
go into it. 1 was willing to make tho
light under tho maehinory of tho party;
to capture that machinery that tho
people of the State might control, and
therefore at my suggestion tho words,
??To the people of tho State," which
included oil elasses and complexions,
were changed to "To tho Democrats of
the State," and the words, "We will
abide by tho result of tho September
convention," inserted at the end. I
insistod upon that because I was a
Democrat, and unwilling to destroy
tho Democratic party of the Stuto.
Under that flag tho people of this
State put tho government of tho Stato
into the hands of the Reform faction.
Hut for that pledgo in the manifesto
tho March convention wottld have
failed.
We eamo in claiming to bo Demo
crats. Wo aro enough Democrats to
elect our governor twice, and that
dear, old, rotton party, aw some call it.
now, was good enough to clect soiuo
people to tho United Htates Senate,
but it ain't good enough to elect some
pcoplo to tho Presidency of tho Uni
ted States. Now, that's what's the
matter with Hannah! (ApplaiiHo and
laughter.
Are we, Reformers of South Caro
lina, to bo mere tools in tho hands of
any man ? Aro wo to acknowledge
the fact that we aro carried in his
breeches pocket to be delivered at any
minute ? I will tell you, sir, that I
for ou&jun not to be carried in tho
pocket oRany man, I was opposed to
bolting /n 1 HIM), when I think my
friend, the Kdgolleld Democrat,
thought a bolter worse than a Rad
ical.
Am I. the legal head of the Demo
cratic party, to sit tamely as a sheep
and allow the party to bo delivered in
to the hands of the enemy ? ()h, my
dear Reform friends, 1 nuij talking
plainly and honestly to you, and if you
fall but with me, I am sorry for ib
l'our years ago you woro such Demo
crats that you required tho electors
nominated by this convention to nign
a pledge to vote for tho nominee of
the Democratic convention.
Tho idea of I S nu n out of 911 going
into a convention and saying to the
balance, "We have got to tlx this plat
form; wo have got to name the man,
and we have got to be above suspicion,
or we are going to bolt." Why, that's
simply rebellious. If that's the way
you are i;oing you hail as well stay at
home. Why not propose to turn tho
wholo matter over to South Carolina
ami let her run it.
The convention ought to instruct its
delegates to abide by tho nomination.
The free silver men need not bo afraid.
They will control the convention by at
least a hundred majority. And yet
you say we must go there and run the
thing or bolt !
Hero in a possible candidate foi
Presidential nomimtti. u ' within tho
hearing of my voice. I have no objec
tion. If they nominate him in Chicago
I will <to as much for him as I have
mi_for him in South Carolina in tho
past, atuTS^think every ono will agreo
that I have <n\ne as much as any ono
else. He is wiling to go into that
convention and take pot luck with the
others, and yet here is tho convention
dodging the issuo. Why, you delegates
hero don't represent 5,000 votes ir.
Houth Carolina; you didn't make a
test of the thing in any county in tho
Htate. There is no use in talking about
it. There aro 1 02,000 whito Demo
crats in Houth Carolina, and yon may
go from county to county, and I will
guaranteo that wo doh't represent 10,
000 men any way. And yet you aro
going to break tho record of tho Dem
ocratic party with a possible Presi
dential candidate in our midst, by
dodging thbr issue. J*et us for decency
s&ko Abide by the result, whatever it
moy bo? for Democracy's sake and for
poor old Houth Carolina's sake. Here
yon aro endorsing a man for the Pres
idency on a platform, saying, "If you
don't do our way wo will walk out."
Voioo ? "Walk whore?"
Houator Irby? "(lod ubovo kuowsl
Wo will ull bo anltamcd of this foolish
ness iu throo yuurs. A boltor never
amounts to anything and its only two
or throe yours when, .you boo liim ooiu
ing buck and bitting down oa tho
mourners' bonob.
Now, Mr. President, in conclusion,
this is my lust offleinl uet us chairman
of tho Demooraoy of thoHtato. Wo hftvo
had much troublo ? whon Curoliuiuns
divido both sides huvo troublo. Wo
huvo boon successful beouuso wo
clung to Democracy. If you hud
deserted it, un eomo of your
leaders, who don't liko mo now
wanted to in 1M1)2, ami who would huvo
gone if I, as head of tho j??r ty , hud not
hold them back, wo would never huvo
accomplished what \\t) have. Tboy
picked up Mr. Jtowdou, who i? emmoi
eutious und honest, and pitched him
iu tho Htrcuiu of Populism; but they
came back uud behaved themselves
whon they uuw whatu rough timo ho
had of it.
And now, sir, lot mo Hay that if I
loso tho friondship'of every ^ Reformor
and every Dofuoorut iu South Curolina
it will bo tho proudest act of my lifo
that my last otHoiul act as chairman of
tho Democratic party of tho Htuto, was
to sound u warning to my frionds, to
tho ltoforinors of Houth Oarohnn not
to desoi t tho parly, if we do, white
civilization, to say nothing of 'white
supremacy is gone. Whenever wo di
vido and go Juto another party, tho
breach thut in only factional will bo
wideucd and mudo permanent, and
white civilization in Houth Curolina
will ho destroyed. My frlouds, it it?
the greatest blonder that has over been
mudo in Houth Carolina, and you will
hco it. Ifwofltund together wo, will
go to Chicago, or our delegates will
go th?ro (for 1 don't think I'll go)
(laughter); and bo received as friends.
Hut if you dodgo this you will bo
hissed as traitors and enemios iu -dis
guise.
KK NATO 11 TJLIjMAN's 8PKKOII .
Mr. l'rosidont und Oontlomon of
tho Convention : Wo huvo had many
remarkably interesting exhibtions,
such as our past history hasnovor Boon
the liko of. I suppose that so ill-as
sorted and uncongenial a combination
us tho ouo that has exhibited its von
oui here on this iloor has nover boon
equalled. Wo have had hero a man
who has boon honored by Houth Curo
lina n great deal more than ho hus hon
ored himself?
' Heftator Irby ? "That's a lie!"
Houator Tillmuu's reply was lost in a
storm of cheers nnd counter cheers,
while a prominent Reformer of tho
dispensary foroo lugged iu a huge
pitchfork.
Hciuitor Tillman, continuing, as soon
us tho storm had somewhat subsided,
said: Wo have had this man, u repre
sentative of tho people of Houth Caro
lina, undertake to speak to us hero as
a master, and toll you to your teeth
that you uio not representing tho peo
ple. I pray Clod, such assurance I
Why, ho could not have been elected
to this Convention if lie had not mudo
a combination with the Conservatives.
And what is all this about? Is there a
syllable in the principles that wo advo
cuto that' is not Democratic? Tolk
about bolting, I know that our peoplo
despise tho idea of a man goingoutr.nd
pulling in the negroes, but two of tho
xnou who have spoken hero
huvo done it. And still they eomo to
us and say, "Don't even hint at a pro
posal to go to Chicago unprepared to
lie down uud lot tho Hliylocks and gold
bugs trapr'plo on you." '
I have been doing more than ony
other Democrat iu Houth Carolina to
bring about a revival of ..tho hopes of
the Democratic party in tho nation,
und muko it go forward as tho party
of tho people, rather than as tho tool
of the moneyed classes. Two years ago,
when I was runniug for tho senate, I
told the peoplo of Lexington county
about tho rascality uud treachery of
Cleveland, and said to them, "If this
man is a Democrat, I am no Democrat,
and so help 1110, Clod, you will never
find mo iu alliauco with him." (Ap
plause. )
You are told that the Hhcll manifesto,
(which I wrote, if you want to know it)
was altered at tho diroctinn of tho
senator froiu Laurens. Mr. President,
when tho Reform movement started in
l.SMii, and Richardson was nominated
in the opera house, I moved to muko
his nomination unanimous. And again,
in when tho machine was too
strong for us, I moved to mako it una
nimous. Hut when I was put forward
by tho common people, as the expon
ent of tho new Democracy? tho only
real Democracy wo ever hod iif*Soutli
Carolina, as the other whs otly an oli
graehy theno men got up and wont
out. Went where? They went to tho
negro and begged tho Republican
party to Mistuin tho old oligarchy and
retain (hem in oftieo. And now
they to eomo to us and say,
"You must^obev the national Demo
cracy and crawl in tho mire for it."
Jefferson taught no such, and Jack
son taught no such doctrine as this.
What aro parties ? They are orgatii- [
zations to accomplish what they believo
to bo the best policy for the govern- j
ment. Tho Democratic party has fol
lowed its lender, Jefferson, f?r moro
than n hundred years and clung to his
principles uutil four years ago and
mow they say we must r.ot bolt! Thcra
is no obligation to a freeman to stand
by a party that has deserted its prin
ciples just because it is labeled Demo
cratic. We have been hampered by a
negro majority in Houth Carolina, and
Democracy meant whito supremacy
and nothing moro. Hut now, no man
can claim that I did not, in tho Con
stitutional convention, rise above per
sonal considerations aud ondoavor to
Kivo the peoplo of tho Htnte an organic
law that would last for all time, and
insure them good government. And '
now I can turu to theso men and say
to them that wo are ready to moot them
with their negro vote. If they want
to draw tho inane with the Democracy,
howover, let them do it under tho
namo of Democracy.
He (pointing to Henator Irby) says
that the Democratic party was good
enough to elect mo as Henator, and
that tho troublo now is simply that I
want to bo President. I think, my
frionda, that tho gentleman has simply
miaunderstood tho situation, and that
all of this outcry ia simply duo to tho
fact that tho gentleman wants to ho
Senator again. Ho far as my desiring
to be President of the United States in
concerned, I tiew \\ limply in this
wav: In tho first place, I come from
a Stato that is hated nil over tho North
boeauso sseession originated hero? I
n in no fool. WijtWvor el?o may l>o
said of me, no oue liaa ovor accused
me of being a fool. Thorefore, when
they accuse me of haviug u presidential
bee iu my bonnet, they simply mag
nify the purpose* and hopes of tny
heart. I have done my best to elevate
ami liberate the people of Month Caro
lina, uiul my nmbition is to do in the
national Held in those other down
trodden States wh*t I ha vO done here,
ff I should recoivo the presidential
nominution l should roo*>ivo it with t??
name misgivings which roany of you
had when i was nomtutied here iu
181)0; becanae I won hi realize tho
greatness of the tank that 1 would have
before me.
You oanuot expect to overcome soo
tioual prejudices in seonriug tho pres
idential nomination. Vfi you huw Jit to
put me forward, I woujhl load the par
ty, aa 1 led you ! (Che era.) And if I
am defeated, aa I woulu expect to he, I
would Iohq no aleep on aocount of it,
but would be just aa contented an 1
would have boon if 1 had. been defeated
in the State. /
Though wo may split <>u tho Fodoral
ticket and have two oloo total tickets iu
the fall, thoro ia no re:??on why wo
should have a split in State polities.
Wo can go on auil nomimte and elect
our State and county ofll sers ?s here
tofore, unless some of tlu*ia men (horo
Souator Tillman's voioo and mauuor
expressed great animus) whom tho
devil hna taken upon tho riountain, go
to tho negro aud try to bxiug tllo black
man into Squth Carolina politioa as nn
arbiter o( affairs. Hut if they do wo
can go right on and take oaro of tho
Btate, auyway.
What principles have wo abandomod?
Voioo ? "Nouo,"
Thoro ia nothing in tho platform
that even hints at tho abandonment of
principles. Wo are simply oaying to
the Noithorn friends who hay? htood
by us as long aa they could keep thoir
hands in our pockets, that they can no

The Blue and the Gray.
Both men and women aro apt to feel a little
blue, when tho gray hairs begin to show. It's
a very natural feeling. In tho normal condition
of things gray hairs belong to advanced ago.
T Thoy have no business whitening the hoad of
man or woman, who has not begun to go
down the slopo of lifo. As a matter of fact,
tho hair turns gray regardless of ago, or of
life's seasons ; sometimes it is whitened by
oickness, l*ut more often from lack of care.
When tho hair fados or turhs gray there's no
nood to ronort to hair dyos. Tho normal color
of tho hair is restored and retained by tho use of
Ayer's Hair Vigor.

THE
GIRL
BIGHT.
When the girl comes to be a woman ?
fook out. If she starts out in vigorous,
womanly liealth then it is pretty safe to1'
say she will be a healthy, attractive,
beautiful woman.
The beginning of womanhood is the
real crisis in a woman's life. Nearly
always something is wrong then in the
distinctly feminine organs. Maybe it
isn't very serious ? no matter ? the time
to stop disease is when it starts.
. McELREE'S
WINE OF CARDU1
will bring girls safely through the crisis.
Taken at the first indication of weak
ness, it never fails. "It regulates tho
monthly periods with perfect precision."
Its action is dircct upon the feminine
organs that above all others, ought to
be strong and well.
, Start the girl right. Don't expose her
to the dangers and tortures of dragging
weakness, bearing down pains, nervous
prostration ?tid the debilitating drains
co common t# women.

abhorrent "local examinations."
