ELi E1 IT 11. AL L, ILi TUR. ELBERT IH.A ALL. 111;,rietvrs. WM. . HOUSa.1 jt KX;iVBE RA. *%. (:. TI.E COUNTY cONvENTlON The County Convenltliin whi?ch melc] here on Saturday, got through with its 1 binieit(ss Sim1(,thilV and easily a:wl with no jarring. There was no nece"ity for any, for the big majority scn med to all think alike. The caucus of the Till iiai men, hell before the (oCtventl)i met, arranged the work th:a tl:y pro posed for the Convention to (o anMd the anti-Tillman men ofereed no appo sition, and if they had it would have been useless, and the work was done smoothly. Altogether it was a very pleasant and harmonious gathering of Democrats. It was a full Convention and all the delegates remained at their post until the (onventionh adjourned. In fact they had all gathered in the Courthouse before the hour for the meeting of the Convention. Outside of the allusion or insinuation or charge of Delegate J. H. ('happcll that some of the Clubs in Newberry were endeavoring to get representation on membership that they did not have th;ere was .othing to mar the harmony of the meeting. This charge we must say, in our opinion, is unjust and was not called for. The gentlemen who belong to the clubs to which he made reference are all honorable men, and we are sure would not if they could ob tain representation to which they were not entitled. At the meeting to which he referred all the rolls were present for the purpose of revising and com parison with others, and to correct them. Delegate S. Pope endeavored to criti cise the old Executive Committe for having tied the hands of the Conven tion in calling the Convention. In regard to that matter we desire to say that we believe the members of the old ,Committee are fair and impartial gen tlenen, and that when the call for the Convention was issued they did not suspect that there would be any desire to elect delegates to the September Convention, as this eounty has never heretofore elected delegates to a State Convention until just a few days be fore the Convention mievts. "A man must serve his time at ev'ry trade, Save csnsure: critics all are ready made." Another thng that was done on the motion of Delegate J. A. Sligh, was the recess for the organization of the new Executive Committee. That we sup pose was intended as a rebuke to the old Secretary, who would have been Secretary of the Convention. As the editor of this paper was that Secretary, we feel free to say that we have no ob jection to that action, although it was contrary to all precedent, but the old Secretary had no desire to hold on to the office and had no objection to being relieved of. the duties. There can be no other explanation of the motion, and if Delegate Sligh is satisfied we are. As to the preambles and resolutions of Delegate S. Pope we have no criti cismi to make. The resolutions carry with them their own explanation. As a delegate we voted against them and would do so again. T.ihost wvho voted for them had the right to do so and wve do not question it. We do not think there was any neces sity for another Convention so soon. If the Tillman men have a majority in the county what use is there in hurry ing this matter through so rapidly. Surely they are not afraid of the edu eating influences of this so-called "campaign of education." But the idea seems to prevail with the leaders of the Tiliaman mnovenment to carry it through with a rush, and strike while the iron is hot, and if the people, the great majority of the voters, wvho will. not be benefitted one way or the other, are satisfied, wve will not complain. We would like to ask them, however, wvhat it all means and what benefit they expect to derive, if they think they wvill be rid of the politician and the office-seeker, we would like for them to look the situation squarely in the face and answer for themselves. We had been under the impression that the question of a primary wasa principle for which they were contend ing, but it would seem to be only a convemencice. Altogether we have no fault to find. The m:inority in the Convention be haved very nieciy and wvas treated (ouirteously by thie manjority.J So muchi of otur space is takeni up j thmis wecek with the proceedings of the County (Conventioni that we eannot give anyvthingz~i like a accoulnt of the c:LTnpalignl nact ings.

The three clubs in the uwrnshll) c~uld not agree as to th umber each should have, and on n ion of J. K. P.

Sligh for vice-president and was elected without opposition. D elegate TI. H. ('romner nominated elegate John Henry Chappell, treas er, and he, too, was elected withou: dissenting vote. D)r. S. Pope moved that the rules of i House of Reprismltatives govert> .e deliberations of the convention hIh resolution was adopted. D)r. S. Pope moved that all speeches limited to five minutes, and that nc -legate be allowed to speak hut twice, ittout unanimous consent, whicla otion was also adopted. Delegate J. A. igli muoved that the various townships report the member y selected for the Executive Committee by the same, which motion was adopt ed by the convention, and the follow ing names were presented, and upon . motion of Delegate Sligh the selection was conirled by the convention: Township No. l--W.

Sligh moved that the e convention take a recess of lifteen minutes for the Executive Conittee to organize, which was done. e After the recess when the conven e tion was called to order, W. H. Hunt, e Jr., stated that the commit tee had or 1 anized by the election of W. 1). I-ar Idv Chairman and Jno. T. Danncan See retary. Delegate Duucan then relieved the old Secretary of the burdens of the office. Delegate W. H. Hunt, Jr., then read the report Qf the old treasurer, J. 0. Peoples, which showed a :tlance on hand of $2.85, which the olu Executive t Committee had the honor of transferr ing to the new committee. Jno. W. Scott moved that the report be accepted as correct, which was done. Delegate W. H. Hunt, Jr., read the new constitution prepared by the old Executive Committee, as published in Le The Herald and News of last week. t He stated that the Constitution was te prepared under the direction of the e County Convention, and under the ap prehension that the old constitution had been lost. The old constitution had been found, however, and was published in The Herald and News alongside the new one. Delegate J. L. Keitt said there was no objection to the old Constitutiun, only that it was thought to be lost, but inasmuch as it had been found, he moved to lay the report on the table, which was done, and the new Consti tution prepared by the old Executive Committee was rejected. Delegate G. B. Cromer thought some plan ought to be suggested to have en grafted on the old constitution the amendments that had been adopted. Delegate J. L. Keitt theri moved that the Constitution be amended by inserting in the section on clubs, after the words "Any five Clubs" the follow ing: "And preserve a record of the State and County Constitutions of the Democratic Party and have said record at each County Convention for its use," which amendment was adopted. Of course there have been some amendments to the Constitution since its adoption in 1878, and these go with it and are of force now. One is the in crease in representation in the County Convention, which amendment waE adopted in LS2. The Constitution as published in The Herald and New, last week is the same as adopted in 1878 without the amendments. -Delegate E. S. Keitt said he had in tended to bring to the attention of the body the necessity of making a new apportionment of representation in the Convention for the various townships. The present apportion ment was made some seven or eight years ago, and he thought it would be well for the Exe cutive Committee to get a roll of the various clubs and apportionr the repre sentation on this basis. He therefore moved that the Executive Committee request each and every club to send up their roll, and that the apportic,nment in the towvnships be made on this basis. Delegate S. Pope moved a substitute for this motion. He said we were here for a certain p)urpose. The old Executive Commit tee have tied our hands. And we cannot, under the constitution and the call for this Convention elect delegates to the State Convention, and we must very soon have another convention, and he did not think there would be time before this to make the apportion ment. Delegate J. A. Sligh thought the amendment was a good one, and he hoped it would prevail. Delegate E. S. Keitt thought the rolls could be sent up and the. appor tionment miade on them, and there fore mioved to lay the substitute on the table. Delegate Pope thereupon with drew his substitute. Delegate J. F. J. Caldwell thought that in providing that the presenlt ap portionment stanid in the old coastitu tion that the difficulty wvould be met. Delegate John Henry Chappell said that as chairman of his delegation he did not think that the sending up of the rolls would be the proper way to apportion representation, and thought the Committee would have no way of knowing that the rolls wvere correct. He said as chairman of his delegation he had great difficulty in securing for his club proper repr-esentation. That he met representat.ves from other clubs in this township to apportion representation and that he had great difficulty in getting his rights. It was only by his being familiar with every body in the Township, and knowing those who had died and had moved away. He intimated that some of the clubs were keeping on their rolls mem bers who were dead and who had moved away several years ago. He thought if the rolls were to be taken it woald be necessary to have some one to vouch for their correctness. Delegate James McIntosh defied Delegate Chappell to show,-anything wrong with the roll of his Club on which representation was claimed, lie did not propose to ask representation in the Convention on members who had died or moved away. The roll was open for inspection. Delegate W. E. Pelhamn also objected to the insinuation of Delegate Chap pell, and with much warmith said as for his Club it did not ask nor expect represetation for members not ac tively belonomng to the club. Delegate .7. R. Irwin thought that the apportionment was based on p)opu lation and not on the Democratic vote. Thnle President informed Delegate Irwin thas it was on the basis of the Democratic vote. Delegate Keitt's resolution wa~s then adopted. Delegate Jno. WV. Scott said that hie had heard thlat a call had been issued for a Congressionial Convention to be held in this District at Belton on the 5th of July, and lie movedl that.the Convention go into the election of eight delegates to that Convention. Delegate WV. H. Hunt, Jr..* stated that the Conventioin was called to dle terine whether the Congressman from this District should be niomiinated by primary election or by coms ention, and that the call for said convenitioni had been issued after this Couiity (Con vention had been called. Delegate Jno. W. Scott then nonmi nated thbe following delegates: Jos. L. Keitt, Col. L. Blease, J. A. Sligh, J. T. Duncan, J. H. Chappell, I. M. Smith, . U. DeWalt and P. H. Koon. There being no other nomiinations these gen tleen were elected by acclamation. - Delegate S. Pope ~moved that the delegates be instructed to vote for tile Sprimary plan of nominating a candi date, which was adopted. - -Deegate Juo. WV. Scott mioved that ithe delegates be instructed to fill anyv vacancies in their numiber, which was also adopted. -Delegate J. A. Sligh moved that the Executive Committee be instructed to call another Convention twvo wveeks from Saturday, that is on the 12th day of July, to elect delegates to the ttro State Conventions already called by the State Executive Committee. Delegate J. R. Irwvin wanted some' other day. Saturday did not suit the people of his section. Friday, the 11th of uly was then inserted. Delegate E. S. Keitt thought that Was too soon. lie could see no use ini electing delegates so far ahead of the meeting of the State Convention. The date fixed will make it at least a month before the first State Convention. Delegate Keitt's suggestion did not meet the approval of the others, and )elegatc Sligh's motion requesting a convention on 11th July was adopted. Delegate S. Pope then offered the followintg resolutions and preaubles. lie reai themt very rapidly and with mitch earnestness, and seemed to us to be v"ery 1m11uch excited, although le savs it was only his enthusiasm. They were received with applause: \'HIrERE.Is, The question of State Primary was made by us in the State Convention, and we were refused it by that body in May 1SSS and; \WmIt:I::tS, The Farmers' Conven tion which met in Columbia in March last asked the State Executive Com mittee to call an early State Conven-, tion to which this question would again be submitted, and; Wii EREAS, Capt. B. R. Tillman in his Ridgeway speech said that he hoped that the State Executive Con mittee (which met in a day or two af terward) would call an early conven tion for the purpose of giving us an early Primary, and; \HER-:As, Said Executive Commit tee did meet, and, by a vote of thirteen to one, did refuse to give us a State Primary, and called a nominating con rention instead, to meet on the 10th day of Septeniber, 180, to nominate candidates for State officers, and; \VEREAS, Conventions have been called in several of the counties to elect delegates to said convention, and in one county delegates to said Septem ber Convention have already been elected, and; WHEREAS, Said Executive Commit tee, which refused to call a convention when they met first in May last, b,.ve met again, to wit: on the 25tlh day 'f .June, 1890, and have called anot..er convention to meet on the - day of August 1800, to decide whether or not we are to have a Primary, and; WHEREAS, Said cominitte have at the same time shown their opposition to the majority of the Democratic Par ty of this State, not only by their ac tion above stated, but also by passing a resolution to use funds belonging to the Democratic party, and contributed in part by those whom they are op posing, for the purpose of publishing campaign literature against the candi dates of the majority of the party, and in favor of the others, thereby showing a desire, if possible,to defeat the will of the people. Now therefore be it, lResolecd, 1st., That we favor such an alteration of the State Constitu tion of the Dlemocratic party as will give to the Democratic people of this State a State Primary in 1892, and at each election thereafter, at which only white Democrats shall vote, and the candidates receiving a majority of the votes at said election to be the nomi nees of the Democratic Party for the re spective offices. 2d., That we condemn the partisan action of the Executive Committee of the Democratic Party of this State, and we call for their removal at the first Democratic Convention which shall meet. 3d., That we favor a change of the Constitution so that hereafter the con vention shall select the member of the National Executive Committee of the Democratic Party. 4th., That we condemn the action of the Executive Committee of Richland County in giving a portion of the time of the candidates for State officers to two gentlenmen who were not candi dates, and thereby depriving can idates of their right, under Article 14 of the State Constitution, to addre's the citi zens of Richland County, living out side of the~ city of Columbia. 5th., That we condemn the action of the "Richland Campaign Club," com posed in part of office holders of the State Government, for their insulting conduct towar'ds' Capt. Tilimnan and the other candidates on the Farmers' ticket, and those who favored that ticket (who were the guests of Rich land County). 6th., That we thank that Christian gentleman and gallant soldier, Gene: a! Ellison Capers, for his action on the stand when Capt. Tillmnan was insulted and attemipted to be bowled down. 7th., That Capt. Tillman and those who are assisting him on the stump deserve and have our heartiest thanks for the manner in which they passed through the ordeal in Columbia, and we say to them all, go on with the good work, go on establishing the frights of the p)eople, go on breaking up and exposing wrong-the people are with you, and the time is not far distant when your efforts will be crowned with success, and a grateful people will rise and call you blessed. When he had finished reading thme resolutions and the applause had sub sided he said: "I feel that I should say one word in offering these resolutions. The whole people of South Carolina and of Newberry County are in favor of Capt. B. R. Trillaman and reforni," and he thereupon moved the adoption of the resolutions. Delegate James McIntosh did not favor the resolutions. He did not think that the pot ought to call the kettle black. After the treatment given Bratton and Earle at Newberry, Laurens and other places, he- thought we had no right to say one word about Columtiia. He said it was wrong to array county against county. He de manded the ayes and noes on the adop tion of the resolutions. Delagate Cole. DelegateC.L. Blease said that he hear tily agreed with the resolu tions and rose to second themi. From Greenville to Spartanburg, and all through the up country Tillman and Reform had been the wvatchword, and the Tillman train had glided smoothly along and when it reached Columbia they grabbed it and tried to stop it, but it moved on to Lexington and Edgefield and at these places received an ovation. By these resolutions wve condemn the actioi in Columbia, and I hope they will be carried and that Ben Tillman will be carried into the Governor's chair. D)elegate J. A. Sligh said he desired to say one word. BeI disliked to array county against county, but he thought the resolutions wvere just. Richland was the only county that had dared to put up other than candidates to speaki on campaign day. Hie thought Hamp ton was a grand old1 man, but he should not interfere wvith this camp~aign. He .m did nmot believe the party' would split. When the smoke of the campaign lears away we will all work together. Thie State Executive Committee met the other day to determine whether we should have a primary and called at onvention for the purpose. It was a rowning man catching at a straw. Their action is hypocritical. When a: we wanted a primary they refused us. When they imet in May they hadl the latform of the Farmier's Convention efore them. After they see the farmi ers are determined one time then they fUer us the primary. He was op posedl to the priimary now, but favoredt t for 1S*:2. Delegate JIohn Henry (Chappell said hat were lie animated by nmo other hain the p)urest motives of his heart lie in ould second the resolutions. But in E dditionm to that, he was chairman of a elegation that represented a club that vasin favor of B. R. Tillmian and that g ntededi to elect biru. Not that we love Earle less, but that w.e esteem a& fj ibian more. D)el ega te Chappell losed with a burst of eloquence equal s o Patrick Henry. Said lhe, 'Live or i (lie, sink or swim, rise or fall, survive * r erish, we intend to elect B. i. Till- o an Governor of South Carolina." - Delegate W. G. Peterson objected toF that p)art of the resolutions which pro- .. vided that only white Democrats g hould vote. He said Dr. Pope tried Id o get negroes to vote Democratic / tickets in 1876, and he did not think ve should exclude them now. (A voice in the audience said. "Denmoeratic ne- fr r aint no acont" ). The Secretary begaii the call of te oll b>ut D)elegate J. F. .J. Caldwell' noved that the vote on resolutions be Ib aken by sectio,ns. He said there were sh ;ome sections he could vote for but oc lould not vote the whole. at Delegate S.
