They were as uine a c:.a t of men a,
ever delibera.e on:rahirg they
thought would r--d 'un d to the zo,d of
the State.
The hall of the House of Rpresent -
tives was crowded to its utost ct
pcity for comfort. The galieries were
well filled. and a number of ladies
joined in the applause. Conspicuous
among those who met with enthusias
tic receptions were the nominees for
Governor, John C. Sheppard. Lieuten
ant Governor. Orr, Ex-Gov-rnors
Hampton and Richardson.
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
proceedings of one of Carolina's critical
and importaut conventions will form
an important leaf in political history.

THE FIRST EXTIIVSIAM.
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.

O''ATTON TO HAMIPTON.
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

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

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.

AS TO 1EMAN1 FOR PRt!TARV.
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

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.

Tlhe News and Courier thinks UOlonel
Ellisont S. 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. TIhat is, for the present. For the
future. U,overno,r Tilbnnn himself de
elaredl ir' his speech at Newb,erry that
the trendi is towal'rd the breaking up of
the f!9' p'arties. If Colo,nel Keitt is out
all the 'ethors are.
