The proceedings W’ere like a chapter from old times.. The political weather prophets ron up storm signals early and kept them flying until the sundiung low In the West. The contest for the mastery between the Fred Nix and Wesley Dixson wings of the “grand old party” was decidedly vivid. Both sides seemed ready to battle for their right* with harder arguments than words not found in any catechism, but the gentle advice of Chief Swann and the timely counsel of Justice Burckhaltei and much sonorous Afri can eloquence calmed the convention as soothing syrup and slippers quiet sleap murdering urchins In the small hount ol drowsy morning. Every precinct In the county was represented, eighty three delegates t»eiug present. All w*ere colored, moro or less, except blonde Post Master Yarn, of Bamberg.

Many a merchant has rubbed through a tight place with a stiff upper lip. On the verge of bank ruptcy, he talked easy and frees and bore himself like everything waa mov ing on swimmingly, and so preserved his credit with the timid and weathered the storm. But the farmer can’t fool anybody, and he has no need to. What If be were to flatter and "put on.” It wouldn’t kill the grass or help his crop a bit. lie deals with honest old Earth, and she can’t be tickled, except with a hoe or a plough-share. He may brag a little on sofne out-of-the-way field that no one Is apt to see; but bragging la not the farmer’s style. I smiled Inwardly a few Sundays ago, at a Baptist meet ing, on overhearing a deacon behind mo whisper to the brother who sat next him: “You ought to see my swamp corn.” There was an undertone of ex ultation In the remark that made the brother to whom it ' was addressed mourn, for he wore a face of due length, and had just been complaining of drouth and the prospects of starvation. There is another and a better reason than the one assigned already. As the farmer carries along a variety of interests, hardly any dispensation of Providence Is favorable to them all, and, human like, he grieves over the farthing lost more than he rejoices over the shilling gained. I was forcibly re minded of this conflict of desire and in terest the other day. .A parcel of fod der had been pulled and was curing fast under a scorching sun; by to-mor row morning it would be ready for stacking. Good sun. Good sunshine. Just the weather for curing fodder. Why don’t I feel more thankful? Be cause the potatoes seem to say: “Mighty dry—can’t make anything at this rate.” The patch of rice, wilted and sick, cries ont for rain. Aa for the peas, they are at a etand»tllL Presto, change!

We have met here as the representa tives of a majority of the Democratic people of 8outh Carolina. This con vention is different from any other here tofore held lu South Carolina, inasmuch as you have come direct from your mas ters—the people. You have not been constituted by suy N thimble-rigging county convention process, or “club’’, busines«, delegating its power* to send you bere. But you have come right straight from tho ground, fretth from and iu immediate touch aod sympathy with the people. The issues of the campaign through which we have just passed are well un derstood, and It l* quite unnecessary for me to rehearse them now. One of these issues—and perhaps the one that was fought with the most bitterness,and ex cited the most enthusiasm—was wheth er I should be returned to my home la Edgefield with the stigma of the dis grace upon me that 1 was an unworthy and incompetent public servant, or whether 1 should receive the plaudits of my people as having tried to do mv duty. (Cheers and applause.) The ef forts put forth by those who believed that I wa* unfit to govern this 8tate were perhaps worthy of patriots, be cause they certainly fought me with all the ardor, enthusiasm and vigor of men engaged in a patriotic undertaking. But. 1 am not here to stigmatize their motive*. 1 am here ready to acknowl edge that there are good men 011 both sides, patriot* on both sides, and tbat those who fought the Farmers move- nfnnt and Reform iu 8tste affairs ipade their fight on what they believed. 10 be tiyir duty.
