C, JULY 11, 1000. The Democratic Convention. Caezar: "The ides of March are come. Soothsayer: Aye, Caezar, but not gone." The Kansas City Convention is hi to?y It was done a- the rest, with much conference, much log-rolling much elooutlonislng, overwhelming en thusiasm. It was so at Philadelphia - it was ever thus. There is nothing like a noise?half the world is fooled by it The sinn: I toy whistles us he passes the grave yard to keep up his couruge. After the hurrah, the leaders put on their study ing caps and do the brain work to win, The result U Bryan, the expected, and Stevenson, who's a sur vival (.f Cleveland, and who had not boon considered. Tho el*!o0C men in the Democratic organization wi re in the convention,a marked feature. There was but one issue?whether to make the financial p'nnk predominant in the platform? tho moderates prevailed and the money question is stuck upon the outer ed e. while imperialism, trusts and mil lar ism are topmost and centrally placed, and well studded with wrought and toughened spikes. So tho forces are in array and the light is on. It was a har monious body and this was unavoidable, as Bryan dictated every step taken ?the crossing of i's and "dotting of t's. Bryan against I lanna and the Unit od States und for that matter the earth. Look at the back of your old FChOOl atlas and see tho picture of a fellow bearing the globe oil his shoulders. One strange leaturo was the m'ghtt toast that Hill, of New York, proved ?the Convention goinsr Into spasm when his name was cnll?d or he showed himself in the vast throng. This w is specially so with tho Southern men? supposed to be populists. And thus it looks as if the Southern representa tives had not the courage of their eon viotione?-swinging to the oont tails of their leaders when the pinch came Tillman leaned clean out < f the per pendicular towards Townc, the popul iat candidate and the South Carolina delegation w'jre well selected for Lieu tenants. Tillman was South Carolina on all the committees, and Tillman n ad the platfot m for the Chairman I Resolutions and did it In TJP.inaac?s(pff' Style with effect. .-Tke cimimiftecma-' from this State to notify Bryan is W. B, Wilson, of Charleston, and to notify Stevenson is .I. A. Mooiu-y, of Green ville. Of course this Stato is all right and all we can do is to insist upon 010 rich men to show their faith by their works in contributing iibcra iy of the einews of war to be used in doubtful States. As THE ADVERTISER has be fore said the election determines whether this govcrumi lit remain"" It repub io in fact or an empire w i h a great standing army and foreign pos sessions under the name and title, lie pviblic. In the meanwhile, kind Laurctlf reader, don't conclude that we think the Convention made a mis'ake in se lecting Den Tillman out of the Sou:l Caiolinn delegation for important posi tions. Wc have a notion that many el the South Carolina delegation und many more of tho (' invention, were in sympathy with Hill's ideas. Hut there is auch a thing; as hypnotism in these times, ordinarily covered by another well known phrase. Hero is about tie way of it?"And he had a son, whose name was Saul, a choice voting man, and a goodly:and there was not amony. the children of Israel a goodlier per* B?lHiian lu'? from his shoulders and up ward he was higher than any of the people.'' Tho Democratic party i.? thoroughly untied and will light 'ike tigers, it remains to be seen if their lines are thiek enough. They have smokeless powder and the maufcor rille ?"he best of the argument. Notice to Confederates.
