The Paris exhibition has been opened by President McMahon and promises to bo a grand euccee*. Address of (ien. Johnsou Haifoud to (he -, County Convention. Genllenwi of the Convention : . You are arsombted under itrstnietious of the State Exeoutive Committee to re organize the Democratic party of’ Barn well county in view of the approaching campaign. This reorganization must be Under the constitution adopted l>y the party at Co lombia in August, 137t>, and which, by the resolution adopting it, was net to take effect until now. Much of detail by this constitution is left to the dirco> tion of the County Conventions. It w^s deemed judicious to allow a Targe latitude in such matters, that each county might adapt itself to the special circumstances of its condition. The State Executive Committee, however, instructed by tlif' experience of the last campaign, arid bearing in mind the general circumstan ces surrounding the party throughout the State, Lave’recoin me tid'd certain matters of detail for tbg consideration of nil (he counties. Their recommendations iu these particulars have only the force they are entitled to frem the source from which they emanate. You arc only bound by ihe constitution of tho parly, adopted in the Stale Convention, width leaves these mutters to your discretion. Two of these recommendations accord with the pracliee adopted in our county in tire last campaign. First, that the County Chairman be e.c~oj]xci<j Chainnan of the Executive Committee, and of all county conventions; nnd second, that the County Executive Committee consist of the county chairman and juvsidents of local clubs. Wc did, indeed, have au executive committee in name, con sisting of the county chairman and a delegate (not the president) from oath club; but it was/ound to be one wheel too many in the machinery, making its action slower and gi'ing no additional power. It soon became necessary to summon to all important meetings the presidents of the eftibs, and in priVCTTce they were tho executive committee itself. YoU have twenty-six clubs—I fay only tweptyisLx clubs, because iu your organi zations the colored dubs arc not distinct, but each affiliated with its local white club, and while in all county conventions the two are entitled to representation ac cording to membership, both white and colored; yet in representation on tho county executive committee they can count os but one club and are entitled to but one representative ns such, under the constitution adopted by tho conven- tiotii Beside#, thjkgivc^ yoU twenty-six members, a body already almost too large for efficiency in such a committee. It would be Wfcll by resolution formally to adopt the suggestions of the ^tate com mittee which you have already found to work well in practice. The further sug gestions of that committee to make a complete and classified register of voters, was so thoroughly done by you iu the last campaign as to greatly abridge the lalror of doing it now. You have only to revise and note the changes in the printed register then made. This, how ever, is so important to anything like systematic and effective canvassing that I feel that ! need not urge upon you to do ItYtV cnce ancl.wcJl. Tho remaining ^uggestiou by-4he State executive com- ittee^tbat in sc fc^dtnwty^ffipce and to the conduct of human affairs, in the language of harft^een proteefed.

It cannot, therefore, bo said that the clubs aie not. the democratic party of this ebunty,' and that their vtfiee does not express its sen- tfintnfr t • • N 'Fho other fenturo of the plan, that a majority of the votes cast be necessary to a selection, is vital. Nb man should be put forward as a candidate who is not tho choice of at least & majority of the individuals whom party alliance compels to vote for him, and what more decisive expression of this choice can be bad tkau when each voter expresses it for himself. The remaining suggestions of the $tate executive ccmmitKx; look ro tho preven. tion of independent democratic candi dates. Of this in our cOuuty I have nc fear., By organization and discipline, making your strmN^th-“as the strength of teu,” you conljfiri iu the last campaign a minority ojft,800 into t^jj&ajority of 1,178, and yon are sane men. You are not going to throw away tho weapons by which you won and by which you can retain the fruits of victory. This is n free country; any citizen, vhhe of black, has the undoubted right to solicit the suffrages of hisfeMow-chizetis for any office but require him to db it ujjdcr his true colors. If* he is a republicau Ft him fight under the ILiek flag of his parly. If ho is u democrat let him he found duly commissioned by democrats, striking .for the right beneath the broad banner of equal rights and honest gov ernment. You will, I afn sure, atrip the assumption of democracy from any one who announces himself a candidate in op position to the expressed wishes of tllw majority of the party and consign him where he belougs^to-the radical ranks, by the aupport of which he catrjdone hope to be elected.- Let mo not he mis. understood. Twi; years ago our party was brought into existence4n SoulTi Caro, lina by loug years of misgovernment. wliieh we felt we could no longer endure and live, and which, uowthat judicial in- V (Stigation has unfovered its corruptions is a.stench in the nostrils of the whole w. rid. Our object wi.sto drive it fn m the land and adjust the relations of our own people of both races upon t lie-.only basis upon which any adjustment cau stand, a basis of right, in which life, liberty and property are each recog nized for.protection, and intelligence ami honesty required for the administration -of government. YTe rallied under the nania of democrats because of the mem- oiios of the past, and bneaiisc to the democratic party of th^ day wa looked with greater hope for that better govern ment which all parties pronii.->e and which the republican party had so conepiou ously failed to give. Enlist log in the national demomtio rwpkz we Dure the party true allegiance and served it fait fully ; but for the redemption of our lo cal government we claimed a wider lath tude. ’When the State convention met in August, 1876. it adopted a platform which did not- rt jwl t-ho -honest isrpubli- can who felt that affinity with thieves was not a necessity of party allegiance. This was the origin of ourparty, :ind in the struggle that ensued, a struggle un- pandleled iu .the annals of this or any other country for devoted effort, wh ile the Federal ticket Wus defatted, the State was redeemed. Our meed of success was due to the wise.conservatism which framed the platform on which we fought Without the republican vote that was attracted to otir State, ticket,-it, too, with most of tho county tickets, would have at that time been assuredly defeat ed. Thus, coming into power, every pledge of tire platform Imsbcen redeem ed in the administration 'of the State government. Thc-rcpublieans who voted with us then are now, with few exeep* Hons, arfiemocrats in full liccord with the party, and the services of others who, repudiating all fellowship with the foal crew who disgraced the name of republi can in South Carolina, yet retain their’ affiliation with the national party, have been gratefully recognized. Soch is the hirtory of the party to which we belong, has passed its crhysalis state and is now on a period of growth which hing can check but a departure from the prtndpfes of right and justice upon which it was founded; and while this summation has been reached, the republican party in our State has by niia in South Carolina, devoted to the State and willing to do anything for her, yet if bo U an Independent now afol makes us run tho risk of losing the 8trte or-county, is the worst enemy of South Carolina.” If the unity of the democ racy is so essential, if the individual deui ocrat is reprehensible who, for- tho sake of office, .palters with republican votes, as such, equally esSetA’ml is it, iu my judgment, tint our party should main- tiiu a policy Of continued aggression, nnd.as party fofm no eombinatioria with the other iu the division of power. Base your platform upon a broad con servatism and pdt forward as the expo nents of your p'dicy true and tribd meu from yoUr own ranks, whoso character and history is a guarantee that yOu mean what you say. Invite every citizen to aid yon in the combat for equal rights to nil, and good government for the wRole..' If, as before, the better ch»ss of republi cans heeds your appeal, welcome them into your ranks on equal footing," if they wiilenli.-t ns democrats, aud fight with them as honored auxiliaries if tbev are content with (bat position. The then- tvhose patriotism brings them to your side in this capacity dn one campaign will, for the most part, bo valued addi tions to your own nftuter -roll in the noxl. I have used the Word conservatism a.-- tnocracy oflhli hjato shou’tl, iu iny judgment, adopt; hut thi v «.;d piogref- sive more aptly .expresses whut I mean in this connection. A belitl'iu the great principles of government which underlies that party, tho white people-tif South Carolina holds as. au inheritance^ ITpou these there is no difibrence itnorig them and from these there is no likelihood of tlieir departuto. Ti e only subject upon which we differ is ttic new factor in our politicitl life—the negro citizen, aud Ids relation in a just and well ordered gov ernment. We arc here confronted with the fact that while many of these are ab lied with us in politics, the republican party is almost exclusively composed of tbehL-atuljhe matter n further compli cated by the afTdhFma! fact that, as a class, they are poorly qu•u!fie:T fofotliej>di>i -u! ! duties of citi/.onship, arc!
