member of the party measures up to
him. Had it not been for his cool,
wise leadership that Convention
would have ended in a mighty row.
While Bryan and Vardaman aud/Tillman
were excited to the point of an
ger the mighty Williams was poised.
Hot for a moment did he lose his
head. The Parker telegram madeBryan
sick; it made Tillman swear
I Ske a trooper; it made Vardaman
mad, bnt W illiams kept his head and
I saved the party. What a president
he.would make! C.
* *
How delightfully refreshing' in
these days of politics, these times
when the mno is hunting the* office,
troths conduct of Judge Parker in
finding thak.telegram to the St Louis
convention. The --convention had
- m ?a$d.nothing in its platform of the
f \
gold or silver question, ignoring for
political reasons, that issne. When
Judge Parker learned of his nomination
he immediately telegraphed the
St
Convention, stating pointedly his
position on the money question, say*
ing that he was for a gold standard.
1 He did not desire to hide his position
on this important question. He was
not called on to declare himself but
l his manhood asserted itself and he
\ did so. He told the Convention that
/ he was for gold and if this was not
5' satisfactory to give the nomination
to some one else.?How refreshing!
There are still some statesman in the
land. C.
* #
The great" Democratic Convention
at St Louis has been held and candidates
to lead the Democracy have
been chosen.. There were numerous
aspirants for the first and second
nlaces. but from the beginning it
r ? w w
was clear tc those who carefully read
the papers "hat only Judge Parker
was to be seriously considered. Mr
Hearst, the New York millionaire,
had conducted the most remarkable
campaign for a nomination that the
country has known, spend'ng many
thousands of his dollars to have himself
named for the presidency, but
the American people were disgusted
with his tactics and would have none
,of him. Senator Gorman, that master
of the game of politics, had
^worked for the nomination, but nothing
came of it. Mr Bryan, the
.former muster of the party, spent all
,of bis great ability and energy in the
interest of the aged Senator Cock rill
of Missouri, l?ut his influence was
gone. On the first ballot Judge AlUap
3 Parker of New York was norni-1
1 r ?MW'a
nated. The fight against the New
"Stork judge had not been great and
when it was apparent that he was |
the choice, of a vast majority the ;
nomination was made unanimous,
Mr Bryan and other opposing leaders
falling in gracefully. From all.
that can be gathtied fiom the papers'
Judge Parker is the strongest man
who could have been named.
As a innniug mate he has the Hon
Henry G Davis of West Vuginia,
former Senator of that State. It appears
that little importance was at-*
tached to this office. It was thought
that a man from the far west, from a
doubtful state, vronld be choseu, but
the country was given a surprise in
the selection of Ex?Senator Davis.
Just why this gentleman should have
been falTen upon is not clear. He is
an old man, of limited reputation,
from a comparatively insignificant j
state. It may be that his selection
was intended as a consolation to Senator
Gorman, whose political manager
Senator Davis has been. II is reported
that the old gentleman has a
large purse and perhaps . this had
something to do with his success at
the Convention.
j This is Democracy's ticket. It is
without question a strong one. What
Senator Davis may lack is made np
by Judge Parker's \ strength, v The
country seems to be entirely satisfied.
The chances for Democratic victory
are better than at any time since the
election of Cleveland. Judge Parker
will get more New York votes than
any candidate save Cleveland could
poll. The Republicans have heard
the news in silence. They had hoped
for the nomination of a weaker man.

The Picnic at Jay.
Cades, July 9:?It was the
writer's good fortune to attend the
big picDic which came off at Jay
last Thursday, the 7th inst., and it
has-been many a day since he participated
in a feast that would measure
up in point of enjoyment and general
excellence with this gala occasiou.
At 9 o'clock people began to
gather at the hospitable home of Mr
Simon Poston, where the picnic
grounds had been selected, and the
crowd increased until 12 o'clock,
when it numbered between eight and
nine hundred. Nearly all the coun- 1
ty candidates were present and they
certainly lost no time in making ,
themselves known to the people composing
the mammoth assemblage,
who will have a great deal to do with
the settlement of the momentous
question, on the 30th of August of
who will be our county officers for
the ensuing two years?Some of the
boys were told that if they did not
mind they would be button-holeing
some of the citizens of Florence ;
1 I!-. A
county, wno live near ine nue. /v
large number of ladie6 araced the occasion
with their presence. Dinner
was served at 1 o'clock and was a
splendid spread. After dinner ,
len.onade was bountifully dispensed. '
The speakers of the day were Messrs ^
Pagsdale of Florence, and Knight of ]
Sumter. These gentlemen spoke of c
Pythian ism. The occasiou was a *
success from every standpoint. The 1
Prospect people know how to entertain
their friends and I will be de- 1
lighted when another opportunity to ^
visit that section presents itself.
