The executive, committee which met on Friday last fix od tito date of th" convention \<> elect delegates to tin- National Democratic Con vention May 17th. This StatoCon vention will elect tuen who will in all probability name the next Pres? ident of tho United stat? - Inas much as the suggestion of Crover Cleveland as the man, is a foregone conclusion, it may seem a small matter who will represent tin Stat?'. Not - >: ti??- body will in addition, be called to prepitrotho platform of the party,--?the docu ment Upon which dopend in rt groat measure our success. We know not who will be brought before thc convention, but simple justice gives the choice of a dele ga to from tin'- Congressional L>is? trict, to Lauron-, and no man \\i'l reflect nore credit upon his cou I ly and state than our young and pop ular mayor, X. 15. i dal.

All the counties in this Dis trict have been represented except Lauren- and possibly I ilion, und as Union luis no candidate in tho held, we trust thc c invention ' ill give this honor tb Laurens. Mr. Dial possesses ail tho qualifications, ?lound on Iho doctri no of thc pa rty, a forcible speaker, pleasing nd I ress, and withal, Inti abundant moans to defray his own expenses and make every way, ii creditable representa? lives in st. Lou] . A Pourtli Plan Suggested. Some newspaper onumorules three ways by which Slate o Ulcers cnn bc nominated. Ki rsl, by Stale Convention, with representation on tlie basis of population, itu at present; second, by a state Con vention on tho basis of Domccratic voter-, and t!iird, by a State Pri mary. The ADV BUT [sien ? - opposed to the prosont plan, and our reasons thorofor may lie given In n few word-. Thu volco of tho people at largo is not heard, because it i- not raised. Very fow men outside tho Conventions have had thc remotest idea who would bo nominated, timi even delegates have had no ehoico before tho assembling of tho Convention. A lld, while WO would not reflect upon any man nominat ed, this haphazard mode of securing nominations has been detrimental to tho interests ?d' tho State in various way-. The HOCOnd mode fails to give relief for what wo beliovo to be tht! defects in the present modo. Representation on the basis of Democratic strength, while moro nearly Just than tlie- present modi-, does not moot tho ease. Tho third, by tito Primary, is rapidly gaining In favor through' out tho upper portion of tie- State, hut, while much better than either of the other t wo, ls far from perfect? Ltd tis for a moment notice tho drawbacks to tho Primary, and then consider a fourth plan by Which wo may have all (ho good of the throe modes preserved with out tho Objectionable features of any. The Primary works compar atively well in tho counties, win-re lt can bo managed fairly, but even thoro we have every year more il legal voting. It was never design cd that any but true- bine Demo crats should partake of this luxury, yet wo see those who caught fish goiib? down tho i (foam, now setting for them anion" tho Domocrats, In eager desire to roll up ma jorities many men, even in Laurens County, have not Hesitated to bring loads Of negroes to the polls- In ti .Stale election this would be In oreased, and ero long the brother in black would bold tho balan?a of power Jn CloSO edt! tests.' Instates where only one political party ex ists, it would be hazardoMs lo trust to loo il machines to make these nominations, The mall) point to be gained is I" havoji thorough discussion of is eues hy the candidates before the nominations. This is all-impor tant, anti in no other way can the people form correct ideas upon is sues, nor otherwlso can they give an cxprosseion of their views. The ^election of a man as the Demo cratic candidate for Governor should moan., noe that he hus hoon | 1 most successful In pulling tho strlugs of a convention, or that he wields more Influence by reason of family vonni ?tions, otc.j Injt it should moan that ho represents n policy which the pcoplo <>f South I Carolina after n deliberate investi* ' gatton und forethought have decided to adopt. Unless 'Jo- bo expressed in a nomination we have lost true democracy and aro fast encroach* lng upon tho confines of att aristoc racy, Divest the word nrlstoc- ' racy of its vulgar acceptation, in a political sense it comes nearer ! describing tin present management J of tho dominant party than tho name the party boars. Tito fourth plan, which we sug gest, by which nominations can bo made ?- tin"-: Let there bo a can vass of tho stat*- by the cami ??lates. ! Then, upon the prescrit or tho pro posed basis of representation, let the delegates to the convention bo chosen in thc same manner us tho members of tho legislature. This is the plan adopted in several states, and i . thc most practicable, in oiir Judgmen', vet devised. ? .
