BrSINES-LIKE CION ENT:o\. The Convention was a thoroughly business-like one, but bad they :ot been fortunate enough to have secured the Hon. Samuel Dibble as chairman the session might have continued un til to-morrow morning. With espe dition the delega:es, after a hard night's work, can go home this morning.

The first wild outburst of enthu.iasm was when Greenville County's delega tion was called and Jae L. Or:'s nanie as reached. The members gave vent to their pent-up enthusiasm for the giant of the Piedmont. When Rich land County was reached there was snother wild hurrah when the name of Wade Hampton was mentioned. COMMITTEE ON RF oLrTIOxS. The following committee on re,solc tions was appointed: \i. B. Woodward, Aiken: W. C. McGowan, Abbeville: E. B. Murray., Anderson: Johnson Hagood, Barnwell: Henry T.

At this juncture Gen. WVade Harip :on, who occupi9d a seat in the RiTh andl delegation, arose and for some ime his voice was drowned by the aip plause which was given him. He slid :hat he camne to work and not to talk. [f this committee,upon which my deJe gition has done me the honor to place me. could he limited to time, we migh t withdraw now, and no resolutions would come in before 9 o'clock. It would give the convention no time to aff'er resolutions. These resolutions will have to be taken up separately. Let every gentleman send his resolution to the comnnmittee anid let us withdraw and consid1er them. I hope that they will not be instructed to report to the con vent ion at so early an hour. If that is lone the committee will have to repor. to the Convention that they have done no( work. Trim FI;rrr' ON NoM I NATIOss. Then came the first fight of the even ing. No one thought the qjuestion of nommination wouldl come up) so sudden lv, and the indirect manner in which it came ump provoked a hard fight, in which those favoring nominations came out victorious. G;en. McCrady led the fight and found a good opposition. Hie saidl he believed that the Convention was called here for the purpose of making~ nominations for State officers. [A p plause.] He offeredI a resolution that a committee, to consist of one myan from each enunty, he appointed for the pur pose of suggtesting a ticket to the Con vention: that mnembesrs shall be ap pointed by the respective county dele. gationis. TheC call for the Convention was for thme purpose ofmnaking rinmina tions. Everyone was hefre? for a pur p e. I did not suppose~ that we camer hero., said1 (en. McCrady, to 'sonsider whe:he-r w.e would do anything, anmd hen say that we would not and go honme and do nothing. WVhat are we* her': for if not for that purpow-T hfav we co~me her': simply for thme piurpose~ of pa.ming reslutions, or are we going to pu?t views' into th~e ernihodimnent v*f "andlidiatez to go before t he peopl'.?

Is it not better. therre. 1o have a (om mittee to suggest a ti ket, and disc:ss how that can be arrangd&' Mr. Kirby S. Tpper. of Charc'sion. said there was only one fa i:In the Convention ar which all deiegates had had sacrifieed their time, it being the best plan to dtefe. the present Admin istration. It was dist.astefa! to him. but he felt bound to oppose the M Cra,iy resolution. It would be :mise to make the nominations by conmit tee. Mr. Scarborough. of Sumter, said he did not want to be misnetood. for he wanted nominations from (,vernor down. Mayor Bryan. of Cha:ieston. said that under ordinary circumstances h would oppose such a plan. but ib:.t the delegates were present to wrest the State from the present Administrat ion. whieh had arrayed class a ainst class. and what we want is not John Smith. but the best men nominated, andi to elect them. He did not w.ant any log rolling, and thought that a committee trom each county could best subscrve the purposes of the Convention. The two questions tobeconsidered are, who are the best men an' whether they can carry the election. Mr. Rodgers, of Bennettsville. said: We are all here for a ecommon purpose. Our first utterance was to demand a primary. He wanted l)emocraey pure and simple. ('aucussing shoull be avoided as much as possible. What we want to do is to unite the )emocratic party. Ie thought the comttmitter idei savoredl too much of I rbyismi. Mr. .1. M. H-udgen's chairman of te Laurens delegaition. remarked that it wa~s a necessity to have the symipathyv of (lie farme~r, with the tuovement :ni to obtain such aid, caut ion and cons~er vat ism would be reqluisite as to whion the Con vent ion nned. ('ertanin meni would tnther vote againi for Tillhnan than for any ill-chosen notmineces of t he (Convention. Hei incident ally rema:rked that he did not. use a free pass andl hadl to pay his board bill. lie thought the matter could best be submitted to such a committee. Mr. D). S. lIenderson,. of Aiken,. agreed with Mr. Hudtigens~ andl ot her speakers. iIe suggestedl ihe report. fromt the com':iittee would ntot. interfere with the non -eleet ion of such namesu. G en. E. W. Moise', te patrni t of Sumter, brought t hinugs to a crisis whlen in rinaging words hue sajid: It. is hiighi timte that~ we (d0 some'thling, and wha. we wanrt mioro is soldiers who will fol low the leaders in ihis hat I le of I i:ie'. The resluton furnishes t.heser sohliers. rTe debate ha:s gone toa a siuffbict. length, and 1 do ask that. thie debiate dii now close.

The firrt outlook of debate occurred ear the close of the ession, when a lelegate from Abbeville, who had been nntructed to a9k for a primary, arose and offered a re?olution aaking that. the convention demand a primary of he May convention. Mr. Canmon, of Laurena, introduced s a ubtitute that the den-and be made of the eptember convention and not the May. Ex-Governor Maulini favored the demand. Mr. Williams. of G4reenviile, 'aid he r'ame to (kolumbia a redl-hot primary demander, but eaw tihe risk of asking for it. If it was eomeeded that the Maiy convention had a right to grant a primary anit change its consit itution in that respect. it could on the game groundQ change the ennotituth'm and nominate a ticket in May-. Mr. Anderaaon, of A wierson, made a rong, clear argument against the dle nand for a primary. It would give lhe May convention a loop-hole, and acm he moanhintery coul no.t he gotten in operation in time for the May con vent ion it would he beet not to try to gt that, but that he felt eure they enib carry the Heptember con vention. li I thought it heat to look at the prac ical aide of the quleetiont and no! make the demand. Mr. W. C. Met4owan, of Ahbbeville, aaid he "ame here favoring a demand, ut onw it would Ilaad to a trap andl he wanted to make the fight ctrictly in he party linea. and that he wanted to defeat Tillmnan. aa he falt; pure woul hep done.

The t'!f" trporca from ra'Iagutn WRitb. ont AntIntfe Preeedent. tNew York son.] It was reported in the cable despat ?hes of yesterday that : certain French oroman named M.Carie .uneau, iving in the ottskirts of GoTyaqnil. in Rkosder, had i?st brouzht into the world at ore ri rt h sever wel-ormed and hieathy :h)iMdro,.. From time to time despatches irorr. various partz of the world se h oses of this kind. There 'asa Lime when a birth of triplets wo%M be -,nly telegraphed. P>ut the newse ad ing pnbic soon grew blase utpon the uiject of tri plets and only a birth 'of ,our was counted worthy of note. At the present time vuth annonnttce qre not infrequent, arrd eases of five st a birth 're not very rare. In several medical works ecteite upon the snbject yesterday no redre wt found of any ntimber greater than nve. In one work by the emi'ent utu(hority, Playfair, statistics of twin triplets, and qnartets were given, shoW ing that both twins and tripters were not extraordinary, but that qnartets were found even in from 21M.004 to S, N ,i cases of childbirth, according to the count'ry. Piayfairmentions lite at a birth but gives no statistics tlpon the suhect, evidently regarding such cases as too rare to forn a basis for a propo* tion. 'everal doctors were also seen but none of them had even heard of so many as seven at a birth and were therefore inclined to regard the sto&y as exaggerated. It seems that, while twins and trip lets are of frequent occurrence in clci iied countries, born of clvilized moth era, quartets are seldom born eaept among barbamus or semi-barbarcus peoples; anr. the same is true of quib tets. There have been stories printed of nine and even ten children at a birth, but if these were true. they havefaied to come to the attentlen of any statilt elan in Fuch authentic form as to be worthy of mention. As the total weight of all the childret a woman has had at a birth has never beeb known to exceed for.-teen pounds, the weight of each of these seven little Juneaus must have been two pounds or les. It is further pretty certs.in that none of them will live, as even it the cases of fire at a birth there are bbt one or two instances of any of the chlilden having lived more than a few houts. -be Poet's n''.ny.

Keitt has no interedt ini the pending contest in this State because he has "cut loose from the democratic party ". and intimates that Colonel Keitt's failure to be elected United States senator explains his wrath against Tillman. As we understand the ease, Colonel Keitt oceupies the same position with most of tihe alliance leaders, and if he is out of' the party they are. Their po sition is that they shoiuld submit their claims and demandis to the democratie party, test their strength with the peo ple in fair primaries and aI.ide the re sult.
