Even it was dominated by “King Caucus”, was very unruly at times, and had for results what no one need be proud of. But it even went further in that it Hill’s New York convention did it. It remains for the Demo crats of the little State of South Carolina to be placed in the lu dicrous position, before the rest put the Democracy of South of the country, of condemning f „lrolina in a very ridiculous, not to say unfortunate, position. Among the resolutions adopt ed was one endorsing the Ocala platform. Yet this convention the man whom they will have to support.

On Friday night four masked men stopped a train, near Sand- ford Fla, and attempted to rob the express car. They killed the express messenger and seri ously wounded another man. The train hands drove them off before they could rob the car.

Could the spirit of Thomas Jefferson but visit this world it would hardly recognize in the Democracy of South Carolina the great party that he organized nearly a hun dred years ago. Again, this Democratic State convention refused to adopt a resolution condemning the Third Party. We ask all sensible people what do they think of this? The Third Party is the enemy of Democracy and is threatening its destruction, yet men claiming to lie Jeffersonian Democrats and followers of the great leaders, Calhoun and Jackson, refuse to condemn it. Verily, these men by their ac tions have reduced their claim to Democracy to the mere shadow of a name. They call themselves Democrats but are anything but Democratic in their actions. The South Carolinadelegation will cut a slim figure in Chica go. Do those eighteen men sup pose, in their own conceit, that they will be heard in that great convention of nine hundred members ?

They replied: ‘El temblor! Didn’t you feel the temblor?’ To me it was a trifle. Two weeks later I was giving a swell dinner to the diplomatic corps in Santiago. In the midst of it came a temblor, a very lively one, and every man of the party leaped from his seat and rushed for the door or the window. I said to myself: ‘Of all the cowards I ever met with these people exceed.’ But, lioys, I hadn’t been in that country more than three months before no quarter-horse in Tennessee could beat me in a break for the front door when one of those temblors made his appearance.

The State convention did a rather queer thing when it con demned Grover Cleveland in such strong terms, because, First, such action is unpre cedented. It frequently happens that a State convention endorses its favorite candidate for Pres ident, but never before has a State convention condemned a 1 prominent candidate of its own party. Second, such action is bad politics, for the South Carolina Democrats may have to support the man whom they have con demned or else bolt the party. They may thus be placed in a very embarrassing position. Third, in the present instance, such action is exceedingly fool ish for it stigmatizes as a tool of Wall Street the man who will very probably be the nom inee of the Democratic party. Right in face of the fact that Cleveland lacks b u t a small number of votes to get the nom ination, our State convention heaps abuse upon him. On the very day our convention was held, North Carolina, to ken to pieces.
