The State Convention.
The cal of the State Executive
Conlmltice for a convention In Junle
as ovoked considerable discussion.
Among tle exchanges received at this
offie thus far, the-Aews and Courier,
the urniweil People anld tle Kershaw.
Gazette favor a nomination of State
oflizers inl Juno. The papers in the
tupper selioi of the State, so far as
lieard froiml, oppose tihe Ileasure, the
o'jection generally being that tle
cuapaign would be too long and ex
pelnsive, and1( thle no011lnationls premall-!
ture, as beig Imlade in advanee of the
N.ttionial platform.
It is a m1atteor of regret that some of
the papers have been intemperate inl
their remarks. The Edgefleld Advc
tiser sligilatizes the call as without
preerdent, ad perhaps a usurpation
and abise of power not (lelegatte(I to
the Coimmitee. The call is, inl our
Opinion, poorly supported by prece
deit, but. we Callot -eo how it iR a
usurpation of power. The Coimittee
is entrusted with the dty of' calling a
coivenl(ion, and. its tle consititutioni is
silent on tle poinlt it wolkd Iv" a

Ot' the right we thinik thiere ennu be no

will not (iscuss it as a possible Demo

On tie other hand, the .Vews and
CJourier' Is luotunoate In applying tI.e
ep-lihets 'hlysterical" and ''habitulal
revilers" to some of those who depre

andt forbearance are requIisite to a sue

- While not denlying _tlIn. C'mwiliittee

blunder. We have car'eflily3 consider
ed the ar'gLiuments of thie advocates of
the mleasur'e, and1( they have no:
ch'anged our 0opinion1 iln tile least.
As to prlecedenOit, the exampile of' the
State of Illinois is cited during the
-present year. Unlfortunately (.he
Democr'ats have not carried1 IhlloIs ini
n age, and have no0 expectationis of'
dolig so in all age to conme. It mat
ters nlot how their tinminlation is made.
But We ventureo to say that the nom11i
nation of a State ticket by a domninat
party, or' eveni ini a douibtfiul State, ill
advance of the Presidential niomuinau
tion is without any respectable p)rece
dent. SouthI Carolina is the last plate
In thie wvorld to introd1uce an inntova

Is waiting to colme out in July would
be defeated in August. as wvell as in
Junie. This is at violent supposition ini
those ditys of' dartk horses. The p100
pIe sometimes get tir'ed of a standing
ciandidate and go with a r'ush for a1
new muan. Again, the .News and
C.ourier apparently assumeIIs that thie
governiorhip is the only7 (illee ini queLs
tion. While this~ ra1ce has pre'tty genl
erially sett(( ldowni to two mniia, the
other' oflices have not been muentionied.
As hafs been wvell saidl, new1~ isisues mayv
spring up lin the camipa ign requiirinhg
diflXerent candidates. lInd thle tahv
C onvenition ill 1876 niomiiinated ni canii
daite for governaor, who wo hIluzhave
been the nman? Such an upheaval is
- not likely to occurt this year, buti it is
sat'er to -take no risks, especially' as an
"ear'ly lmniinationi is so u tter'ly' unealled
. for. It is a strItnge fact, that1 as til as

that "It will do no harm," which pui

Again, every one feels (lhat (lie par

thou threw this apple of d1iscordt right

that tile popular voice was smnothered,
and the will of the 'people forestalled ?
A June netnination would not only
give the time r'equiisiteo to organize a
