He made a number of speeches, all of which were capital, advocating strong Democratic doctrines. Every where he received a warm wel come and his presence excited considerable enthusiasm. The trip was undoubtedly made in the interest of his candidacy for the Presidency, but we believe he is as far from receiving the nomination as ever. His warm reception is no index to his pop ularity in the South. Any Democrat of equal prominence would have received like atten tion. A reaction seems to have al ready set in throughout the country against him and the action of his snap convention in New York. The anti-Hill re volt in that State is assuming large proportions. Not only in its numbers but in thecharacter of the men leading it, the move ment finds its influence and weight. The anti-Hill State convention, which meets in Syracuse in May, will represent between 200,000 and 300,000 Democratic voters of that State and the delegation that the con vention will send to the Nation al Convention will impress upon the latter body the fact that Hill is not the choice of the rank and file of the Democracy of New York and that his snap convention was unfair and un wise. Hill never was a favorite among the Democrats of the West and his schemes to force himself upon the party have tended to increase their dislike for him. Hill “booms’' that have been attempted in the West and Northwest have fail ed completely. In the South his populaiity is at a minimum and in New England, to use a slang phrase, he is “nowhere”. Every day it becomes more and more apparent that Cleve land is the choice of the people. He is not held in high favor by the politicians, but his very honesty has made him the people’s candidate. The fac tional fight in New York may prevent his nomination. It may cause the people to choose some one else merely for the sake of policy. One thing is certain, however, Hill in his attempt to sidetrack Cleveland has not in creased his own popularity, but has made himself distasteful to a large majority of Democrats. If Cleveland is not nominated a Western man will win the prize. — TO DAY’S CONVENTION. The anti-Tillman State Con vention meets in Columbia to day and we earnestly trust that the results of its deliberations will redound to the good of the State, restore the Democratic party to its former harmonious condition and once again unite the white people of South Caro lina, “a people that should be united, not divided.” Nearly every County in the State will be represented at the Convec tion by a full delegation. The delegates are for the most part men of recognized ability,whose faithful services to South Caro lina in the past will ensure their devotion to her interests in the present crisis. They are con servative and will do nothing radical. They love the State and her people and their actions will be guided by the desire to restore harmony, peace and pros perity to our much beloved land. It is from the characters of the leading spirits of the Convention and the laudable purposes for which they are called together, that we derive our hope that the meeting to-day will be produc tive of good. The mass meeting for Darling ton county held on Monday is a source of gratification to those who approve of the movement. It is true that the meeting was not large, but it was larger than even the most sanguine had hoped for. The notice given for the meeting was very short and a larger attendance was not ex- p e c t e d. A majority of those present were farmers and this in itself has a pleasing significance. Deterra .nation characterized the action of the citizens in attend ance. They are bent upon do- ing everything honorable in their power to restore good gov ernment to South Carolina. We await anxiously the out- come of to-day’s Convention, trusting tha' no stone will be left unturned to bring to us the happiness of a people again uni ted.
