to see the people retting to that point
where they can dir witiout making

tain their re-pective positions with all
the vigor of their intElliet andl( tongue,
and still do it in a friendly and ha :imo
nious In:a::ner.
Evervb:>dy seems .ati,i.l m ith the
work, but there can be no doubt that
in the minds of all fair-minded persons
a great i:just'ce was done those fifty
three Democrats who begged the privi
lege ofa Democratic Convention to per
mit theml to forml tienselves into a
Democratic clib-lifty-three DemIno

their old c;: . : a rali when

therity the constituion of the party
confers upon the covntion to refuse
their app"leatio:n, tit an:hority is
tyrannicaly e xercis.d by its refusal.
No matter what t:e ei u'S of the
separate orgama 7aon, n iaiphaiy
tyranny to order these gent:Cmen1 back
to the club where, in thei.' opinion,
they haivr bhe lii-tn-ated anId with
which~ tiey cann:iot be exi .eted to be
in harmony. And it is peculiarly gross
tyranny when the alternative may be
the loss of the right to vote irt.e cotun
ty and State pinaries. They mnay join
other clubs and it is to be 1:oped they
will, but they Can now do so only at
great inConeiece. And what good
can it all do? We shafl be very much
disappointed if a sense of justice in tile
Decmocrats of tihis county does not re
buke this action in a very practical
way. We like to see just ice dione all
parties and faction:s.
There was one thing very evident in
the convention on M'onday and that is
that there is no third party sentiment
in this county.
The Tillmian faction and( thls wh ~lo
opposed the nominlationl of (2evelandI
were in great haste to take their dose
of crow and seemied ec5iily anxious
to administer it themselves. The con
vention was scarcely organiized before
the resolutions endorsing Cleveland
were ')resenited. The Herald and News
commiends this spirit.
Mx. Sii was gIad they came fromi
his side of the house. The He:.ald and
News is glad it was done. We have
never had any opinion that it would
be otherwise in Newberry Cotunty. Wie
are all good Democraits, however we
may differ on minor matters.
The ruling; of Chairman Pope in re
fusing to put theC motion askin:g for an
aye anid nay vote was arbitmary, btt
nobodyv is out of humor about it.
On the whole it wais a very pleaisanIt
convention. Somie good speaking, but
not mnany converts, as the vote attests.
The Prohibitionists have out their
candidates; the Third party have put
forth theirs, and the two old parties
have selected standard bearers. Nowv
if the Woman Sutirat;ists woutld comxe
alonlg with theirs, things wotuld possi
bly liven up politically by ant'i by.
Third party ismU does not seemi to pre
vail in thi; secedon, niteUnr does it take
very much root.

There was a big crowd in Newberry
on Monday. It was really a big day.
.-aleday, fourtin of July, county con
vention, barbecue at the factory, last
dav 1or registering, and a caucus. If
thl:se things would not bring a crowd
of Ii -ii together in this count.y of poli
tics and politicians what would. No
thitn" else could do so unless it were a
circu, and then the men would only
core so that the children could see the
animiai. The convention see ned to
draw the crowd. At least the court
houle was crowded during t:Ie pro
etlings of the convention'.
The Tillmanites held a caucus in the
tiorning before the convention, in the
oillee of Justice Mayhin, and arranged
the work in hand.
At twenty minutes past eleven
oclock, County ('hirnan J. A. Sligh
called the convene,on to order and said
that nominations for a temporary
ciu:rnan were in order.
)elegate J. S. MeCarley placed in
nomination Dr. Sampson Pope for
temporary chairman. There being no
o,t her nomination he was elected. Del
e ate _McCarley also nominated A. E.
P. Bedenbauglh for assistant secretary,
ani he was elected.
I)r. Pope thanked the convention for
the ditinguished honor that had been
conferred upon him, for he did eon
sider it a distinguished honor to preside
over a convention of Democrats.
Secretary MIaybin then read the call
for the convention, and the rol. of clubs
was called and delegates enrolled.

A quorum being present the chair
man aninouinced that the convention
was ready to go into perman ent organ i
zation1.
D)elegate J. S. Hair moved that the
temporary organization be made per
manent, which was adoptec.
Chairman Pope again th'anked the
convention for the honor and said he
would discharge the duties of his posi
tion to the best interests of the Demo
cracy to the best of his ability.
M r. John W. Earhardt then ofTered
thefollowing resolutions:
"WJlEREAS, G;rover Cle"eland and
A. E. Stevenson have been nominated
for p)resident and vice-president, re
spectively, by the National Democratic
Convention at Chicago, and as it is the
duty of every true Democrat to support
the same, therefore be it
"Rlesolcd, Trhat we, the Democracy
of Newberry County, in convention as
sembled, do hereby pledge ourselves to
work and vote for Grover Cleveland
and A. E. Stevenson."
Delegate J. L. Keitt saii: "I don't
rie to oppose the motion. I recognize
tre fact that every member of every
party is under obligations to support
the fnominees of the party. But I can
not vote for the resolution and I don't
intend to do it. I believe that Cleve
lan d is opposed to the interests of the
masses of the people of this country,
and to the principles for which we
have been fighting. There is one thing
.ich is above party and that one
thing is principle. I don't believe.that
Cleelan d represents those pri ncip)les
for which we have been striving and
therefore I wont vote for the resolu
tion."'
This statemfen]t from Delegate Keitt
was rather a bombshell thrown into
the quiet and harmonious convention,
but it fell flat and made no noise in its
explosion. It was evident that 3Mr.
Keitt stood solitary and alone in his
unique position. His sentiments did
not find responise in any other heart
present. The resolutions were unani
mously adopted in the Tillman caucus
held in the morning, although we be
lieve 3Mr. Keitt was not present.
Delegate Gleo. B. Cromer said: "I
am glad to be able to vote for the reso
lutr,ns, not because Cleveland is the
n oineei of the party, but because be
stands as my individual choice. Be
cause he stands in response to the up
rinsing of the great tidal wave of the
rank~ and RIje of the Democracy of this
country. Because since the clays of
Jet!rson and Jackson there has been
no truer exponent nor nobler de
fender of D)emocratic principles than
( rover Cleveland. [Applause.] Be
case lie stands above quibbling and as
the embodiment of integrity and hon
est. [Applauise.1 Because when he
had! it in his power to tri-n, and secure
hs eketion, he wrote a letter that
oughit to have been written, although
it o st the the party its victory. I will
vt' for' the reso,lutionls because they
~od aloft the banner of Democracy in
thei haands of a tman who is a man-a
an who can't be bribed. It is morti
fing to meC to hear the charge that
(1ve land is not a man of the people,
but is undecr the influence of WVal
stret -rmd the money pewer, whlen it
i,a ac tat Cle-:eland stands for low
taxe in n a the friend of the peotple.
Wa ll treet has always demanded high
\::xe and a high taritT. Clevelanid
stnd as the pride of the Democracy
o this counitry. It. is mtortifying that
av gentlemlan should stand up in this
VonvXniioni as a D)emocrat and as the
rersentative of Demnocratic constitu
ens.ad opp)ose resolutions endorsing
t e Democ rat ie nominees. It is morti
rin to mue that any genitleman should
'*is oni thi- flor andI oppose these reso
i-in. Inam no politician, nopa
uk h: 1no ofice and am asking
fr n'e, but am here as a private citi
ze n democrat. If I know any
t'~hintabot honor, if I knowv anything
abouit integrrity, if [ know anything
abou't the history of tis country, Gro
ver (-eveland stands today as the high
et expo'ent of true American citizen
hip."'t (Great applause.1
DeedatcJ. L. Keitt, said: "I am fully
sati ed thar I am in a fearful minority.
ut 1 -tand by my position and what
I hav e sad. I am a Democrat and I
avcate the principles of Democracy
as taght by JelTerson. ltut as I un
(Ieriamd themi they are not the prin
Ciples of Democracy upon which (leve
land stands."
Ifelegate Cron.:r: " I i - you say y(t!
believe principle to uc aibove :y!iv ina
or above any party, how can you claim
to be a Democrat representiig Demo
cratic constituents"
Delegate Keitt: "I represent D)emo"
eratic principles and as a Democrat I
am always i eady to attmd on the plat
form of the party to which I belong.
Delegate Cromer: "'here' where I
stand. I have always been a Demoeral
and have always bowed gracefully t(
the mandates of the party as expressed
by the action of the majority. I have
always stood by the party. The sarlt
rule that says I must vote for Mlr. 'ii!
man if lie is the nomnlinee, says that In'
friend must accept Mr. Cleveland. I
would like to ask Mr. Keitt if he will
vote for the )enocratic nominees.
De'eate Keitt: "I don't stiy that I
wont vot, for thenonltieesof the Den
ocratie party. If I ami a metiler of
the party at the timne of the -lection I
will vote for the notmiites of the pai ty.'
Delegate J. A. Sligh: "I: the caucus
attended this morning by Tilblrlai mel,
Alliaucemen, farmer's novenent men,
these resolutions were unantiliotiuly
agreed to and adopted. They Caml
from our side and I am glad of it. We
are good Democrats and propose to
abide the action of the maj,rity and
support the ticket of the party."
Delegate Peterson called i>r :ihe nyc
and nay vote, but the call was wih
drawn and the resolutions adopted.
There was great applause and eheer
ing for Cleveland, and if 31r. Keitt
voted no iis voice Was drownied in the
applause.
t-SE.:;I.SS RESOLTION.
Delegate John T. Duncan offered
the following resolutioi which was
adopted:

Newberry County repelk tne insinua

The following petition was then pre

to himt that the petitionl has this nmuch

I)elegate S!igh Wai hn "nted t(
i vote inte!!igeltly. II was a menlber
of the executive conriuit'"e, but memin
bers of the conmittee, in voting for a
Scall for the convention, had expressed
110 opinion at all, He was not express
ing his Views as to how he would vote.
ie wanted to aek Mr. Hunter some
qcetiois.
A this juncture I)elegateJ. L. Keitt
askc."d that the name of A. ('. Thon
ason be substituted for his, as i ha'l to
go away on the train, and it was done
am,id an1 outhurst of applause.
Mr. Cromer's motion was withdrawn
and a motion was adopted permitting
each faction from St. Luke's to Submnit
t heir Cast to the convention, aid Mr.
('rone'r then renewed his mr,otiotn t 1it
tho petitit: be granted.
llelegate Sligh said that when the
COmmilit tee adopted the resolut ion c:Ill
in - the convention it was the im.der
standing that these gentleien would
appear before the convention.
Meegnte Caldw\\ell said it was htis uno
derst:aiiing that the conveniot ion ld
do as it pleased.
D)elegate Sligh resuming said be
wanted to a.k Mr. Hinter some (ues
tions. tI I)id these ;3 men originally
belong to St. Luke's club and becorne
diss:itl-ied? (2 Do these 5: men live
in that innediate CoiinI1i:Unnity? I,t
\Where does this c4iu) pr:p"-e to hold
its neetings? (4) Do any of these men
live near any clubs already in existence?
I want to see if there is any necessity
for this club. The constitution is very
guard(led on tlhis point and it is not only
for Newherry County, but for the whole
State. Two years ago there was a
fearful break from our ranks and it is
Just all we can do now to keep t lie par
ty together. If we encourage every
little faction in the county the Demo
eratic party will go to pieces. Many of
these men are goo( Democrats atnd
good Tillman men. I want to get the
facts, and then I will know how to
vote.
Mr. 11 T. C. lunter then made :
st:temient for the petitioners. lie s:;id
he was very sorry that there had bet-n
any objeeti(on to this petition. We
doi:'t wan11t any new elub unile:-s there
is a good and sul'cient reason shown
for it. Iwo years ago I was president
of the club and was asked by a member
to call the club together for the reason
that at a caucus helb at Newherrry it
was determined to have a club vote to
put out a legislative ticket. I was not
subject to any caucus and did not think
this club primary was )etncratic and
at first refu-ed to call t he lub together.
But believing as I did that it th::t ti:e
a mllajor"ity of the meiubers favored tIe
club prim r ty, 1 :terward; deciidd to
call the clbi) together :nd did sto, hut I
would not renin:l and participie in tlt
eiectionl and( called the vice prt"sident to
the chair aint I resignetd as presidont.
Tihe chailrnan of the Executive (n
iiittee also resignl and withdrew Ir:n
tile eiuh. I felt that this business did
not belong to a Democratic club. A ny
who so desire may go into a caucus, but
it was not the business of a Democratie
club.
As to the difterences this year Mr.
Hunter read from the "statement Of
fact" published soe time ato by the
geitlemten now desiring the eiub,as set
ting forth clearly their side of lt
lir. Hunter said that he felt that the
grant ing of this petition wouid conduce
to hariony and peace among the I)eiii
oerats of St. Luke's, but lie wanted to
say for Iimtself and every ;e itlni: i
whose name i signed to the pietition
that they were good and true D)emio
erats and even if tile convent ion refused
the petitioni they wotulid how gracefully
to that manidate.
Mr. N. It. Lester also made a state
mtent. IHe said two years ago lie was
secretary of the club and opp.osed the
preliminary primary arnd the effort to
bind the minority has been the cause of
tile trouble.
Mr. A. E. P. Redenbaugh said tht
tile umjority should rtile. We had no0
opposition to any members meeting and
having vote if they desired, hut we did
not want the vote in the club to) bind
the minority.
Delegate L. P. Miller:~ "f thingsconi
tinue as they are it is difleult to tell
where South Caroiina will land. To
understanid this question, let us go back
to the origin of these clubs. They were
instituted in noi man's intere(st, but in
the interest of the Democratic party.
Go b)ack to that lime and let lifty white
citizens ask for the formation of a
new club andI there would be no cques
tion. We woul. d say, whly, yes, brethi
ren go arid org?aize/ your club. Let us
do that way to-day."
Delegate~A. E. P. Bedenbaugh: "tIt is
stated het e that I saidl that those whlo
dill not sole wotild be bound by the
action of the mai:jority. I will read you
our statemlemi."' Hie theni reaid the state
ment of facts as published last week.
Several questions were asked Mr. Re
debaugh as to what he did say, but
e stuck to his published stateluenit of
facts and answered by that.
Delegate Hair said he knew nothing
of what was (lone in 1S890. When we
met to organlize thi.s year Mr. Hunter
asked if members would be bound byv
the preliminary primary. I did not
think that a Democratic club had a
right to bind. Nothing wa said about
these gentlemen ini the club. Wheni
we met to hold our caucus some onie
said that lIhose opposed to Tiilman were
in thle majority and while t hey wiere
siginig th e roll, atn before they fini
ised, I mived that we adj urn to meet
next S~at urday because the antis were
in the miajority, and the moot ion pre
valed.
President Nichols wais called on for
a statement for his rulinig. Hie said hie
ruled they bad ia right, tojin the eiuib
but thiere was no0 secretary presenit.
ie rulledI they were biound only by thu
colstitutionf of the party.
D)elegate Cromer then spoke elo
quently and strtotniy for thle petition.
He said, thin k of 53 Demiocrats Co)nung)
