The proceedings of the State Convec? tion last "week furnish a very important lesson to GOT. Richardson and others who- have control of the affairs of government, lt is well known that the Farmers' Movement demands the most economical government compatible with efficiency and that the legislation be more ia the interest of the masses of the people. The vote in the conven? tion, 191 for Richardson, and 114 for Earle, who was not a candidate, is very significant indeed. The anti-Richard? son vote was not sectional by any seana. As the official statement will - show that it came from every part of the State. Therefore the opposition wes not against Richardson bnt the policy and ideas he represented. Con? sequently if the feeling as demon? strated by the vote in the Convention last week can be relied upon there are a good many in the State who do not believe that everything is jost as rt should be. The defeat of the primary resolutions for the nomination of State officers by a vote of 192 to 89 evinces the fact that the majority of the people of this State are convinced that it is an unwise step and that it would endanger more than it would secure the peace and harmony of the democratic party ; but the question will be agitated, and if tome method can be devised whereby -every County can retain its present strength, then in all probibility it will be adopted. The little tilt between Col. J. C. Haskell and Capt. B. R. Tillman this time was on rather a small scale and .hows that both of these gentlemen have profited by experience and have learned lo control their tempers. A noticeable feature of the proceedings of the Convention was in the selection of the committee to notify Gov. Richard? son of his nomination. His principal escort who came tn with him arm and arm was Ben Tillman. Verily the un expected always turns np somehow or otter. Now that the Convention has .done tts work, let the Democracy present a ?oked front. . Our report is made up principally from the Columbia Register, with some clippings from the Augusta Chronicle THE MOVEMENT TO MAKE EARLE GOVEENOE. Let the office ,;cek thc man and not the man the office, was the inspiring principle and uncontrollable desire that animated one hundred and fourteen del? egates who supported and voted for At? torney General Earle for Governor against his absolute refusal to allow bis name to be used in that connection in the State Convention on last Thursday. IQ this demand and cry for Earle for Governor there was nothing personal whatever. It was the very embodiment Of a principle that grew brighter and brighter and dearer and dearer to the understanding of the delega*cs thc more it was talked over and looked at in the true *ense of a government of thc pco pie, for the people and by the people, first, last sod all thc time. There is SO other way to look at it cr to account for it. Two and two make four and so it is with equal accuracy that the true inwardness of the desire of these dele? gates to make Earle Governor eau bc arrived at. But there are none so blind as those who do not want to see ; ?od to this class we DOW address oar selves io considering the question, Where does the antagonism to Karie come from ? In order to show that it comes from the Charleston clique, a few points io refereuce to his political coarse ?rill have to be given. in the ?ist place, while io the Sen? ate ie earnestly advocated an amend etseot to the Constitution whereby 'Charleston would be deprived of one of ber senators. In the next, bc favored a re-appertiootucQt of representation so as to give each county ita just repre sentation. Of coarse Charleston posed these measures. Then be feated Mr. Miles for Attorney Gen* And during his administration of office, he has given two opinions w have tended to increase this fcelio opposition to bim. The first wat reference to taxation of banks, wbei be showed that what is known as bank surplus could not escape tax?t I The banks of Charleston had h i I means carried to their surplus fui and this bad not been required to pi dollar of taxation. This opinion right and proper, both as a questio constitutional law and State pol There eau be no dispute among la wj as to tbe law, and the people ?nderst that. the common man should no required to pay a tax upon his hors cow while the capitalist is enable* board op his thousands without cont otfng to the support of the governm* The second opinion above referrei was in reference to an ordinance pas by the City Council of Charleston, j milting the sale of certain articles Sunday. His opinion ai Attorney G eral was asked as to the legality of 1 ordinance. As duty commanded h he advised that it was contrary to laws of the State and expressed bis grete that such an ordinance sho have been passed in the face of Christian sentiment of the State. 1 above, we think, indicate the grot of opposition sn the City of Charles against Col. Earle. But this feel does not exist against him with people at large, but only with that cl that bold the reins of government. Is Col. Earle a Tillmanite ? As has always stated for more than t years past, he is in favor of a separ Agricultural College and is further favor of devoting the Land Script Fu and the Hatch Fund to its establi* ment. At the same time he has alws been and now is an earnest friend a supporter of the South Carolina Colle and of the Citadel Academy. There similarity between what is known as t j Farmer's Movement and his own pri j ciples as above indicated, and no ft j tber. But he is opposed to the Charit ton clique or to any other political coi ; bination controlling the government the State, except so far as consiste with true Democratic principles. Was Col. Earle a candidate for Go ernor ? He stated before the Coure tion met, time and again, that he w I not a candidate, and it was so publish* j at bis earnest request. The night b ?fore the Convention he received a tel gram asking his consent to put h [ name in nomination for that high offic Ho promptly replied, declining ti i honor. On the morning of the Coi I rention be wai called upon by name , oas delegations and earnestly solicite ito ron. To ene and all he positive! declined to allow his name to be use* i and he requested the Sumter deleg* tion to state, if his name was placed i nomination that it was w-thout his coz sent and against his protest. He ba been asked weeks before the Con vet i tion met tbat if there should be a cris ? in which the people of the State shoul call upon bim to serve as Governoi would he under such circumstances rc fose ? He replied that he could nol consistently with bis doty as a patrioti citizen ; bot at the same time he sai that he did not anticipate that such contingency would arise, and befor tbe Convention met he admitted tbs he had made this statement, bot agaii reiterated thc same opinion. This b had supposed would be sufficient t have prevented the use of his name but while the Convention was in ses sion,*a message was brought to bim a bis office to the effect that in spite o bis declination some of bb friends oi the floor of the Convention had express ed the determination to ron him any bow. ne immediately sent message to the Sumter delegation and to hi brother, Dr. Enr?e, of the Grecnvilli delegation, to announce most emphat ically that -if nominated he would no accept the nomination for Governor Notwithstanding all this the balloting proceeded, and our distinguished fellow j citizen received 114 votes-his owi j brothel supporting and voting for Rich? ardson. Now, after Col. Earle bac ! taken this lofty position and stuck to i j against all the temptations that wen j thrown in his path, how unjust it wa? fer some to make efforts to put him ic a false position in order to elect a Charleston man against him as Attor? ney General. Col. Earle highly appreciated thc honor the delegates conferred upon hiui by voting fur him for Governor, and we know that he has the approval of hiv own conscience, and that his cutir? course in this matter will be eudorsed by all those who appreciate the couduct cf a brave and honest official and a true and patriotic man. CLEVELAND'S LETTEIl OF AC? CEPTANCE. ! President Cleveland's letter of ac j ceptance of the re-nomination to the . Presidency is a dignified and ahle doc '? ument. it is as clear as it is honest, j I and in pla:** English he S3ys that "un ! necessary taxation is unju>t taxation." j He goes before the country on this I j great i.^sue. At the same time he can ! didi y defines his position most clearly j when he anuounces that "wc have cu ; tercd upon no crusade of free trade, j Thc reform we seek to inaugurate is j predicated upon the utmost care for cs I tahlished industries, a jealous regard i for the interests of American labor and a sincere desire to relieve the country from thc injustice and danger of a con? dition which threatens evil to all the people of the land,'' and in thc same \ characteristic style he declares further on that "the absolute doty of limiting the rate of tariff charges to the neces? sities of a frugal and economical admin? istration of the government seems to be perfectly plain.'' President Cleveland bas taken in the situation and knows that our national existence is confront? ed with the evil of a great and growing surplus which* must destroy or be de? stroyed, and he intends to destroy it if the people will only stand to bis back in the fight. There will be no surren? der in this-fight. The people are being robbed of their rights and something most be done to relieve them of the in? iquitous tariff system tba* ia now bleed? ing us to death. Cleveland says it must not be tolerated. Congress bas tolerated it. The appeal is now made to the nation itself. Cleveland is on j tbe right side of this great question and it is the only true line to keep in the campaign. Cleveland is for the people, as every word and Hoe of his letter of acceptance shows ; and it has been truthfully said of bim that "be found the Union in un? rest and bas given it peace. He hts onited the intelligent patriotism of the North and South against the coalition of ignorance and fanaticism upon which republicanism at the close of the war was forced to depend. He has taught the world that the Southern Confeder? acy, so far a? the credit and security of the Union is concerned, is a historical dream. He has maintained honorable peace with the nations. Every good and wise measure of the republican domination, every definite achievement of the war, has been protected and con? served. The sword has been sheathed and the Commonwealths of the Repub? lic resis no longer under its shadow. And in his high office, whether regard? ed in a personal* domestic sense, or as the official embodiment of the nation's dignity and will, Grover Cleveland has borne himself as one worthy to be re? membered with that lioe of heroes and statesmen like Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Jackson aud Lincoln, and worthy, too, of the renewed confidence which was given them, by a grateful people in their re-election to the Pres? idency.
