Senator.&au~lard theom Fose and said MEr. PRESiDNarT I jise, to plce I' ~ pominat~in a gentlenlanm for the. ?ffie tance of this office fi the econoniy of our State goviernmeut-oanuot be over estimatedi To place the .11ajal man ageinent of the State, with all the an thority It in'volves, judicial and admin. inistrative, is to invest the office with powers that, more than any other de partment of administratIon, may be wielded for the welfare or the injury of the State. By wise and prudent exercise of its powers the honor and credit of the State may be exalted as by the purest administration. On the other hand, they may be debased by unwise and imprudent conduct as I' her recent y ast history. J may well, then, become this joint assembly to pause and consider carefully with whose honor this most Important trust is committed. If this assembly will pardon me I will narrate briefly the record of the gentleman whose name I mean to propose. General John Bratton, of an honored lineage, at the beginning of the late war, entered the service, as we supposed, of Southern Independence, as a private soldier. By constancy, falthful devotion to his duty, and by indomitable pluck, le won his way, step by step, until the latter part of the war found him the brave commander of as gallant a brig ade as shed honor on Southern arms. At the close of the war he retired to his farm and shared in that capacity in the material reconstruction of this p rostrate and well-nigh ruined State. In 1876, when eight years. of Republi can misrule had taught the people of this State that they could expect noth ing from the existing party adminis tration and that their only. hopes lay in the Aetermined efforts of her sons, General Bratton was again in the front of the contest sharing in the trials and in the success of that supreme effort. In the campaign of 1880 he was called to preside over the executive commit tee of this party in the State, and self poised, wise and judicious he managed the contest with a success that the political character of this assembly best attests. But, gentlemen, General Bratton for these services claims no reward; with iln the discharge of duty was nnselfish and constituted its best reward. To present him in his true character, I take the liberty of reading a letter from him of a strictly private nature and one never Intended for other eyes than those of the person to whom it was addressed: "Youi' kind letter and enclosures reached me last night, and boy and horse were taken care of as you wished. In reply I can odly say that it is impossible for me to go down, as I am confined to the house by an ugly 'cold.' If my friends wish to put me up for this position I shall not oppoi e their wishes, and if the people shou:d desire my services in that particulh r place I would gratefully accept; but I would not, if in the best health, go to Columbia oin such business. I say this from no spirit of exaction from my friends, or affectation or assump tion of great merit for myself, but I say it deliberAtely, believing that the condition of our politics requires ac tive work on the part of any ian wlio may aspire to offilee, and knowing that I possess no transcendent merit that. would render me an exception to the general'rule. While I would appreci ate honor from my people as niuch as any man, I would think less of myself if I gained an office by seeking it 'would feel that I had Arcrificed 13w4 substance for the name or title. Such ideas, -Quixotic though they be, are real, and such being tihe ease I have long since felt that my friends wouli. be too heavily weighted for a success funl race, alld hence my unreasonable course heretofore. I could not will inigly subject thenm to defeat that would result froma my own folly." This letter exhibits f'im as he is and shows that In honoring him the State holners herself. Then, gentlemen, having unbounded faith in the patriotism, Integrity and wisdom of the gentleman, I place him in nomination as a man who I as been always in the front when the contest was warm, and always in the rear when rewards wvere distributed. Mr. J. M. Johnson and Mr. Haskell seconded (14e nomination of General B1'atton. Mr. Simonton called attention to the discrepancy between. the provisions o1 the Constitution and those of the act On the subject. The former provideE for a viva 'vocc veo and the -latter for a ballot, lie suggested that'-the joint assembly should dissolve and each house discuss the matter ini its. ownl chamber and meet again in-the evening. Mr. Henderson said that the act muat be obeyed till it is declared unconsti= tutional by a court. The chair ruled that lie was bound to order the elec tioni Co proceedl by ballot according to the act undenwvhich the joint assembi; had convencd. . The joint assembly" then proceedled to ballot.
