A Mr. Stevenson on taking the chair I thanked the convention for the honor, doubly an honor coming from such a grand old Stato as Sonti Carolina. Tho convention was meeting on the transition from one century to an other, to elect delogates to name a standard boaror to ushor in the now century, a loader standing in the shoes of Thomas Jefferson. Ho look od back and referred to South Caro lina's great growth in taxable proper ty, in cotton manufacturing, second now to Massachusetts, and in tobacco growing. Wo now have a united front and have rolled Uack the dark cloud of Negro domination. Rairoads are being .uilt here faster than in any other State. It is a phonomenal ro cord for a decado. The convention appointed com mittoos of one from each county on platform and resolutions with Sen ator Tillman as chairman, and con stitution and by-laws wvith Mr. DeB3ruhl as chairman. A large number of resolutions wvoro p)resented, Colonel Hoyt's re quiring the pledge to support the national nominees and a vigorous p)latforml from the same sour-co be ing among them. T1he election of the four delegates at large was then entered upon and quickly disposed of. Mr. Gentry, of Spartanburg, nomi nated Col. Wilie Jones, of Rich land. Geo. E. Prince, of Anderson, niom inated Congressman Latimei ISonator Ilendersoni named Giov ernor McSweoney. Governor Sheppard, "in behalf of the Edgefield delegation," named Senator B. R. Tillman.
