County. Convention. inAJg!ant protest against the unpro roked attacks upon the party and the State as calculated to- destroy the righteous supremacy of the white man, subversive of the best interests of the commuomreath. 4. at John Bratton, in hisperson, life and convictions, is the example of true Democracy, and whether in de feat or in victory he will always be the champion of the more cherished rights of the masses. 6.. We commend our hoiored fel low-citizen to the party as one who would honorably and fearlessly and ably discharge the duties of the Chief Executive of the State, and as the Governor of all classes, he would execute the law, uphold the dignity of the State and preserve her credit, her prestege and her good name at home and abroad. T. K. Elliottintroduced the follow ing resolutions: Whereas, at the call of the County - - Chairman and Executive Committee of the- Democratic party of Fairfield County,. delegates from the variou clubs assembled in the Court House or Saturday August 2, 1890, forming the County Convention; and whereas, it accordance with' the constitution 01 the party, State and County, a repori from the Executive Committee on the enrollment and representation tc which each club is entitled was pre sented as. the basis of temporar3 o on; and whereas the Count) ruled that this report wa co ionally the only proper me thoc of-determining the temporar3 otgizatn; and whereas a nunibel of d' esto the Convention refusei to be ' and by this ruling of tht County Chairman and withdrew fron "-'the Convention. Sit- resolved by the Democatit Convention of the County of Fairfield That the action of the County Chair man is hereby unanimously sustainec and confirmed, and that we the mem bers of this Convention do herebj declare our intention now and alway to adhere to the constitution of th Democratic party as that law in accor< with -which the wishes of the peopl, are to be regulated and ascertained. Besoloed, That we deplore the ac tion ofthe 'withdrawing delegates, a hasty, inconsiderate and tending t disrupt the party, and we trust tha they, will realize that the unity of th party is of more importance thai mere temporary success and return t< their allegiance. Major Woodward, in speaking ti these- resnlutions, indicated a mos ardent desire that all things that couli be done. consi,teut to our positioi shkuld be done to induce the with cdrawinv members to return. Maj Woodward made a motion to thh effeet that a committee be appointed b; the Convention .to confer with th delegates who -had withdrawn with - view of coming to an* understandin; by which thley could be induced t return to the Convention. This me tion .caused considerable- discussion but 'the sentiment of the Conventiel was so strongly opposed to anythini that looked like a compromise that th The fllowingresolutionwaspassed Resolved; That the Jefferson Monti Longtown be -admitted as regula Democratic Clubs, but not to partici pate in this Convention. The Convention then adjourned. eting of the Seceders. fri eon Saturday. ~August tL 2nd wihen the 4.oanty Chaairm.an calle4 the convention to order it was plair to sll that there would be a desperati * conteat, and that this conventioi * would be unlike any that had assem bled here in the past-in -fact every oni looked for just what took place-s split. The Tillmanites took exceptiot to the ruling o.f the chair and went out in a body under the leadership o: Messrs. Lyles and Buchanan. The~ first went to the Opera House, bu could notprocure it. They then re turnedio the rt.'e of J. B. Crosby where they imnpruvised a conventioi -' - consisting of the r'illmaan faction. They elected J. W. L:.les as- temporar3 Chairman and D. Stevenson tempo rary secretary. After the election of temporar3 chairman,-Mr.. W. J. Johnson moves that delegates come forward and - en roll their Dames. Theenrollment being complete, Mr Bulow moved that the Bis thewo,i Club,- of which -Dr. Campbell was president, be. rejected, and that thii .one of which A. Dunn was presiden b e admitted to a seat in this Conven tion. This motion was carried b3 accamatution. Some one, the reporter coald no -learn, moved that Ridgeway Club No. 1'be rejected and Club No. 2 be sated, was also carried by acclamation The club from Monticello was alsc .admitted and the Jefferson Democratis Club rejected. Thie chair in putting the questior said, "All in favor of admitting Monti cello say aye; all opposed, no. All ir favor ot rejecting the secessionists sa~ After thee matters were dispose : the relI was called and the follminn clubs answered: Blythewood, Bean Creek. -Cedar Creek, Feasterville Greedbrier, Horeb, Longtown, Mossy Dale, Monticello, Rlidgeway, No. 2. Fifty4wo delegates answered tc their names. Whether or not thes were delegates there was no way : ascettaining as no precaution wat taken 'by the assembly to prevent itsell from being imposed upon, no comn mittee on credentials was appointed, everybody seemed to be at liberty tc 'rote, as the whole thing was done by acclamation; not once was ballotting resorted to to decide ani- question. Mi. 0. W. Bachanan at this staged -the proceedings made a speecta ini wrhich he characteriz ed the action di the D)emocratic Convention then goiri, *on.in the Coort llon<e as "revolution *-auy-and done with the view to chisel anad defraud the people out of their rights." lie indulged in much more of the same adrc of- talk. ie was wildly cheered at the conclusion of his "revolutionary"address. The nermanent organizstion was then efiEcted by the ele--tion of J. WV. Lyles as County Chaitman, and D. Stevenson secretary. The following gentlemen 'were elected as delegates to the State Convention: Booknw,. 0. WV. Buchanan, J. B. Turaer. S. 11. Rutland, T. L. Bnlow and T. W. Traylor. Alternates J. R. Cnrlee, C. A.

Ruff moved that if they thought it was for the best interest of the party that they be instructed to vote for Tillman's nomination. This motion waa withdrawn. J. M. Kirkland moved that they be instructed to vote for Tillman first last and all the time. What ever became of this motion is hard to say. The confirmati',n of the Executive Committeemen was next taken up. All Tillman Clubs were represented. The resolutions offered by Mr.O. W. Buchanan will appear in our next issue. (' -.t McMeekin offered a se. of resolutions regulatinu the admission of negroes to the clubs, which we could not procure.

Tuesday, August 5. : 1890 FOR GOVERNOR : JOHN BRATTON The County Convention. We publish in to-day's issue of THE NEws AND HERALD a full report of the proceedings of the County Con vention of 2nd inst. The outcome is of course a matter of much regret to I every honest and thoughtful Democrat, and it is difficult to fcrccast how far - reaching may be the results of Satur days work. The intelligent public is r entitled to judge of the merits of the issues upon which the secession in the L Convention were based. In order that the question may be squarelyputtoourreaders we will re produce so much of the proceedings as I relate to the issue. Heretoforewehave Shadno contests among the clubs onthe subject of proper representation in the County Convention; we have had no serious issues upon which our people were divided and hence the inecessity o f such a fight never arose. In the fresent battle the lines were sharply drawn and the contending forces have be - e aly_equal in strength, ence the maz Tero"opralir1ct'ite .apportionment of delegates among the Iseveral clubs was obviously an in Iteresting question. The Constitution of the party pro vides that each club shall be entitled to one delegate for every twenty-five enrolled members. In anot her section of the party law, it is provided in sub stance that the several clubs of the e >unty shall operate uinder the control of the County Executive Committee. Thbe clubs are to enroll, representation is based on enrollment, and the County Executive Committee, under the authority of the section of the Cennty Constitution quoted, called upon the clubs to send up their respective rolls five days before the meeting of the Convention, and appointed a comimittee to revise and correct the same and re port to the Convention the result of its work. Thie was done by a sub-com mittee composed of representatives of both factions. The work of the committee was the work of each and every member, and as the report itself shows was con curred in by all -the gentlemen com prising that body. The comm'ttee was in session all day Frida1, sat with open doors, received and heard all testimony offered and thereupon made up its report, which was the bone of so much contention on Satur day. As we understand it, the Tillman forces wanted to ignore the action of the committee and to have first of all a committee on credential~s appointed. The op,position took the ground that it was premature to appoint such a com mittee until there had been an enroll ment of the clubs and their delegates on the basis of the action of the Exe cntive Committee. 'that from this re port alone could the Covention base a temporam y organization. The anti Tillmanites desired an enrollment of the legally existing clubs and that the finding of the Executive Committee should only be the law of the Conven tion in its temporary organization. They did not oppose the appointment of a committee on credentials, but took ground that there must firsat be a body with members to move, aud members to vote, an,d members to be appointed on such committee. Chuair-man Gail lard held that the findings of the Exe ctive Committee were priaafacie cor rect and must tbe the basis of tempo rary organization. The ruling when stipped of all parliamentary language simply meant that the Convention must first be organized by and made up of delegates whose seats were in no wse contested; that if contests were to be heard and determnened there must be first of all some body consti tuted anid organiz ed to hear them; that no one should sit in judgment upon his own case. LU. S. Gov't Report, Aug. 7, 1889. Powder ELY PURE Executive : Committee, coming as it did with the full sanction of the party constitution, entitled to respect, and in a measure the obedience of the Con ventiou,- but it afforded the only evi dence whereby the Convention could determine prima facia the number of delegates each cub was entitled to. The Tillman delegates withdrew from the Convention because, Chairman Gaillard in his honesty and wisdom decided this question adverse to their partisan views. Capt. Gail lard was the lawfully elected and qualified County Chairman, and as such it was his duty to construe and annource the party law as he under stood it. This he did and for nu other reason the Tillmanites withdrew from the meeting. Surely no position could be moze untenable or less defensible. Many of the more conservative of their num ber, we feel sure, regard the actior taken as ha,ty and ill-considered. We shall confidently expect thal sober reflection will briig back ow friends to the authority of the party aj expressed in its constitution and voicei by its mouthpiece, the (Cunty Chair man. Capt. Gaillard is right, ouw friends are wrong. When they see i we know they will be brave enough t< I rotnri to their former allegiance. The Law of the Case.
