SATISFACTION GUARANTEED. Aug 19 o The State Convention. The State Democratic Convention of South Carolina, convened to elect delegates to the National Democratic nominating convention, has met aod adjourned. As has been known for weeks, the sentiment of the body was strongly for Tillman, but it was not expected that it would be the most intolerant and radical body that has assembled since the Tillman faction has gotten into power. Utterly without regard for the rights of the minority! utterly unable to appreciate the principles and motives of men who fight for the right I as they see it, they came, and they went. With no other gide than that might is right, with no desire for fairness and gloating over a display of brute force, they acted. When the anti-Tillman minority re corded their protests by voting against measures they were laughed at with groans and derisive remarks. While the wheels of the majority bad been pretty well greased, there was some friction, and there are some disappointment and bitter feeling among the Reformers. There were exciting scenes on severat occasions?the only approach to them since 1376 was at the conven tion a year ago when pistols were drawn during a controversy between Col. Woodward and Dr. Pope. In his determined protests against the unjust ruling of the chair, Col Raskell demostrated what a man can do. For two hours before the ad journment of the body it was the most disorderly assemblage that has met here in years. The speeches of every one were repeatedly and continuously interrupted by persons upon the floor, and one or two dele gates with more whiskey than brains iu their heads, were particularly annoying. At 12 16 State Chairman Irby call ed the Convention to order. Mr. Irby was nominated for temporary chairman but declined and W. J. Tal bert was nominated and elected Mr. G. Duncan Bellinger was elect ed Secretary. A ^jmmittee on credentials con sisting of one from each delegation nut contested was appointed. Mr. W. M. Jones of Spart an burg entered a protest against the Oconee delegation on the grounds that the County Convention had endorsed the Third Party Platform and voted down a resolution endorsing the Democratic platform. There was a contest entered against seating the Richland delega tion. After an hours recess the Commit tee reported that the delegations from all the counties not protested be seat ed as reported and that the Oconee delegation be seated. The following report was also read : In the matter of the contest from Richland county we respectfully recommend that the following dele gates be seated, to wit : W. II. Dent, Joseph Bates, W. .1. C*thcart, S W McKenzie, John C. Haskell, R. W. Shaud, W. T. Martin, Chas. A. Douglass, Richard Singleton and N. G. Gonzales. We beg leave to further report and recommend that Reform clubs in Wards I and 2 are the legal Demo cratic clubs No. 2, in the iespective wards, said clubs being pr?sid?e over by Messrs. Elkin and Brook?, and that representatives suggested by said clubs shall be recognized as the legal representatives in the executive com mittee until a convention shall be called to elect representatives from said clubs. John L. M. Irby, Chairman. Mr. Simmons, of Charleston, pro tested against the seating of two Keform delegates in place of Regular delegates who were not present, and claimed that the vacant seats should be filled by Regulars who should be named by the six Regular delegates present. He was ruled out of order and it was decided that the question must be settled by the Charleston delegation itself, consequently the Reform delegates having their eight delegates present and two of the eight Regulars being absent the Re formers had things their own way. The temporary organization' was made permanent. A motion to have no committee on platform and resolutions but consider everything coming up in open con vention. The motion was passed. A motion by Mr. W. A. James, Jr , to limit all speeches to five minutes was voted down, and one to limit speeches to ten minutes adopted. A motion io reconsider and appoint a committee on platform and resolu tions was adopted Mr. Jordon, of Aiken opposed the reconsid?r?t ion. He said that it was useless to have a committee, for everything had already been deci ded iu the caucus and that it would be time wasted. He spoke at length and with vehemence, and at no time did he seem to consider that tbe mi nority had any rights whatever. The motion was favored by Dr. Sampson Pope, W. C. Benet, John C. Hask?l and others The following committee on reso lutions was appointed : Abbeville- W. C Benet. Aiken?0. E Jordan. Anderson?D. K. Norn's. Barnwell?W. H. Duncan. Beaufort?Thos. Martin. Berkeley?J. S.

The convention adjourned and re assembled several times, awaiting the report of the committee, which final ly reported at 8 p. m. The convention reconvened at 8 o'clock. Mr. Timmerman, chairman of the committee c:i platform and res olutions, made the following report of resolutions offered in the commit tee : THE MAJORITY REPORT. By A.C. Latimer, of Atiderstm: We the Democrats of South Caro lina, in convention assembled, and representing as we do the voice and sentiment of the people of our State, declare : First. That we are true and loyal Democrats, and endorse and will evet support the principles as enunciated by Thomas Jefferson and re-stated by such statesmen as John C. Caihoun and Andrew Jackson ; and on those principles we plant ourselves, and will remain. Second. While we earnestly favor and demand a reduction in the one rous tariff duties, and that the bur den of such taxation be fixed upon the luxuries, and not upon the neces saries of life?and then only a suffi cient revenue be levied for the main tenance of our Government economi cally administered, we hold that a matter of equal and paramount impor tance for the relief and prosperity of our people is an increase in our cur rency, and that our Government issue its money direct to the people at a low rate of interest and upon such solvent security as they can fur nish. Third. We see with displeasure and apprehension that the money changers of Wall Street have in vaded the sabred temple of Democ racy, and that they will try and force upon our party a candidate represent ing not the wishes and well being of our people, but their own selfish in intere8t. We assert that Grover Cleveland does not represent the prin ciples of Democracy as taught by our forefathers and as we understand them. Fourth. We therefore enter our solemn protest against the nomina tion of Grover Cleveland or any other candidate known or believed to be selected in the interest of and at the dictation of Wall street, but we demand as our standard bearer a man for the people and with the people, and who will serve the people and not any class or faction. Fifth. We shall look upon the nom ination of ex President Cleveland, if forced upon our party by the Chica go convention as a prostitution oi the principles of Democracy, as a repudi ation of the demands of the Farmers' Alliance which embody the true prin ciples of Democracy and a surrender of the rights of the people to the financial kings of the country. Sixth We believe we voice the sentiments of a large majority of the white voters of South Carolina when we assert that the nomination of any Wall street candidate would create grave dissatisfaction in the State De mocracy. (Favorable ) By D. K Norri8, of Anderson : We, the Democratic party of South Carolina, in convention assembled, recognizing the depressed condition of the people, the reign of the pluto crat and the unequal laws of the na tional Congress, hereby affirm our faith in Democratic simplicity. We pledge anew our allegiance to the principles first enunciated by the illustrious statesman who founded our free institutions and established the Democratic party to protect and preserve them. [The Ocala platform is inserted here ] (Favorable) By N. G. Gonzales : Resolved, That the integrity and success of the Democratic party in the South are menaced by the Third or People's party, and we condemn those who are instrumental in spread ing the membership and advocating the platform as enemies of the Demo cratic party. [Unfavorable.] Resolved, That to make the position of the South Carolina Democracy clear and unmistakable, we denounce the St. Lou 13 platform, which is being used to support the pretensions of the Third party in the South. [Unfavor able] Resolved, That we pledge the Democracy of South Carolina to abide by and actively support the nomina tions of the National Democratic party at the Chicago convention and the platform upon which such nomina tions shall be made. [Favorable] By John Gary Evans of Aiken ; Resolved, By the Democratic party in convention assembled, that it affords us great pleasure as a grateful people to return our thanks to our present State officers for their faithful, wise and economic manner in which they have administered our Stale government 2. That in their efforts to equalize taxation, whereby corporations shall bear proportionately with the farmeiH and laboring classes the expenses of the government, we pledge them our hearty co operation. tf. That it has ever been the cus tom of our party to reward good and faithful servants In lliis spirit we ask our present State officers to again stand for re-election and hereby pledge them our earnest and hearty support [Favorable j By Frank T, Ilardee, of Beaufort : Whereas an act is now before Con gress appropriating $23,000.000 to deepen the Savannah river below and above the city of Savan nah, Ga.?if this act becomes a law the work will injure and de stroy 20,000 acres of rice land assessed at $600 000 ; therefore be it Resolved, That we respectfully request this Administration to take such steps as are necessary to protect the property of the State, and we fur ther request our representatives in Congress to use every effort to prevent such injury to the people of our State or to compensate them for loss they may sustain by such legis lation. [Recommend that it be ie ferred to our delegation in Congress to investigate and take such steps as they may think fit ] dissenting report. The undersigned, a minority of the committee on platform and resolutions, dissent from the report of the com mittee. First. Because it is grossly unjust to assail a distinguished citizen of the United States upon charges utterly unfounded upon facts, and in words violative of propriety and utterly unworthy of a convention of the State of South Carolina. Second. Because the financial policy recommended ie unsound, dishonest and, if adopted, will be ruinous to the interest of the entire country. John C. IIaskell. W* ST. J uli en J ertev, G. W. Nichols. Mr. D K Norris moved the adop tion of the majority report. Mr Simmons moved the adoption of the minority report. Mr. Douglass of Richlaod was recog nized by the chair. He stood here al most alone, bat be would protest against the most outrageous resolutions that had beeo offered in a South Carolina conven tion io a quarter of a century. Are we going to adopt these aesolutioos which set forth what is not true ? Is it within the bounds of propriety that the Demo crats or South Carolina io convention, assembled should insult Grover Cleve land ? (a delegate here inquired wheth er a quo could here and insult this convention. He was ruled out of order by the chair, who did not think that aoyone had been insulted ) Mr Douglass declared his inability to insult the convention ; he was here to asked this body not to insult that man. He is denounced as tbe tool of Wall street, and as prostituting true Democratic principles?is there a man who can rise in bis seat and show that it is true ? If they cannot, be asked the convention to rise io its manhood, repudiate these resolutions and spew tbom from their mouoths. He urged that Cleveland was no experiment ; that be bad won the only national Demo cratic victory in thirty years, and that he bad been elected by tbe people and not by Wall street. Io his four years' service no man can point aught against his character, brain or ability. His four years io office was an oasis in a great political desert. The speaker insisted that Cleveland had stood by the South, not as a cham pion of the South, but as tbe champion of the whole couctry. From childhood to manhood Cleve land bad been ao enemy of trusts aod bis Administration bad been unanimous ly endorsed by bis party in 1888. He warned the convention to mark his prophecy that if these resolutions were adopted tbe day would come when tbey would regret it. If he is your nominee in Chicago are you going to stultify bim and then go to tbe polls aod vote for bim ? For the sake of propriety, for tbe sake of the party, do not in the excess of power take this action.'' Mr. Therrell, of Charleston, spoke against Cleveland. He did not stand by bim in '88 and was against bim now, but if nominated they should support bim to a man. He asked that they would not stultify themselves by sup porting this man who was defeated on tbe same platform in 1888. Mr F. C. Csughman took possession of the floor. His point against Mr. Cleveland was the reiterating of tbe false charge which has been recently freely circulated in this State by his enemies, that Mr. Cleveland had invited > Fred Douglass aod his white wife to a select reception at tbe White House. Mr. Kirkland, of Kcrshaw, an Alliance man was the next speaker. The charges against Cleveland bad been fully answered by bis endorsement by tbe Democratic party of the union, includiog the solid South, at St. Louis in 1888. These resolutions were the most unwise action any party ever took It wo lid have been a grand thing if South Carolioa had united in the land slide of endorsement of noble manhood. Mr. Gary, of E Igefikld, here de manded the previous question. Col. H ask?1 II gained tbe fl tor and spoke iu behalf of ihe minority report I confess, said he, that I have, with the deepest mortification, seen a display i made tonight where charges were made against a gentleman with no foundation. I have beard the ridiculous charges of Cleveland having invited Fred Doug lass to his house, aod from t.ie lips of his private secretary, Dan Lamont, I have heard that they are ridiculously false. I am wi ling to assume the responsibility for saying so. Siooe his retirement into private life he has conducted himself with a dignity that bas commanded tbe respect of all. The gentleman who undertook tonight to sustain charges against Cleveland, when asked for his proof, said he was not giving a list tonight. That was because be had none. Cleveland did not please some Demo crats. He made mistakes, but they were not in the line of going into jobs which paid bim or which rewarded those connected with him, and be never promoted friends or punished enemies. He went out of office with more re spect from hi? political enemies than any man who sat in tbe Presidential chair during the last thirty years. And from Maine to Texas he is heing called upon again. The signs of the times are that Cleveland wiD be nominated at Chicago. If he is, aod you adopt these resolutions against him, what are you going to do about it?you office seekers I'm talking to ; there are a plenty of you?when you have denounced him as a prostitute of Wall street ? Are you goiDg to swallow your words ? W. O. Guy of Chester spoke in favor j of the anti-Cleveland resolutions. Dr. Sampson Pope did likewise and j said he was not the man to carry tbe party to victory. H C. Burn of Darlington, spoke1 against Cleveland, alleging that his financial policy was crushing the farm ers, ere. Editor. J. H. Moore of the Charles ton San, for the Reform delegation from Charleston repudiated the denunciation of Cleveland?the strongest Democrat in the country. The man whose misfortune was to be several years ahead of his party. His delega tion repudiated the denunciatory utterances of one of its members who had spoken. (Therrell ) j The anti-Cleveland men realized the effect of Col Haskell's speech and cast around for somebody to counteract it. There were loud calls for Mr. W. C. Benet, who responded. Ho declared that the resolutions did not denounce Grover Cleveland?it was the action feared in the Chicago contention that was denounced. The gentlemen who sustained the minority report seemed to be in a Rip Van Winkle sleep. The Democracy owes no debt to Cleveland. He squandered the fortunes of the De mocracy io 1884 and committed party and political suicide. Something has arisen since 1884 that Cleveland does not seem to realize?the uprising of the people. If he could read the signs of the times he would see that he is not the choice. Cleveland ought to think about the Alliance and the Farmers* Movement. It was so much the worse for the Democratic party if Georgia had elected Cleveland delegates. The reason these resolutions were adopted were to meet the danger of the Third party?warning the Chicago convention that if Cleveland was elected there would be great danger of a Third party in South Carolina, (voice : Never ) If Mr. Cleveland should be elected the men who framed these resolutions and vote for them will vote him. The question then recurred on the adoption of the minority report, which was rejected by a vote of 237 to 49. At this juncture Mr. Ernest Gary moved that further consideration of the report be suspended pending the elec tion of delegates to Chicago, Carried. Mr. Jordan nominated Tillman, Irby, Stokes and Talbert. Mr. G. W. Nichols took the floor and began to nominate another ticket, when some one moved that the nominations be close. The chairman recognized this, despite the fact that Mr. Nicholls was still on the floor endeavoring to make nominations. The motion was carried. This brought Col. Haskell to his feet, protesting that it was not right to close the nominations while a delegate was on the floor speaking. The Chair?The convention is twenty-one years old and can take of itself. It is responsible for what it does. Col. Haskell then entered a protest against the arbitrary action of the Chair in refusing to listen to a nomination offered by a delegate. Before Col. Haskell yielded the floor the Chairman replied that be appealed to the convention and said the protest was in their hands. Col. Haskell?The Chair can't stop me. I still have the floor and intend to keep it. I protest against the flip pant answer of the Chairman to a mem ber of the convention, whose servant be is. [Hurrah for Haskell !] By this time the excitement had grown great. Col Haskell was in the aisle, near the Speaker's stand, and a lightning like colloquy was going on between him and the Chair, meanwhile the different sympathisers crowded around and yelled for their respective sides. Col. Talbert lammed his gavel and shouted to the convention that he appealed to them. Col. Haskell held the floor and said that forty Chairmen c* aid not override him. Some one shouted, Put him down," at d Col. Haskell told him he couldn't do it "The Chair," said he, "in violation of law, order and justice, has cut off nom inations." The Chair?I deny it. I have done no such thing. Col. Haskell?I again respectfully submit The Chair?The delegate will take his seac. Col. Haskell?I have the floor. I have been trying to submit a parliamen tary motion and have never lost the floor. I will make the motion if I have to stay here all night. The Chair?Well, make it. Col. Haskell?I desire to submit a protest against nominations being cut off while the man making tbem was on the floor. The Chair?A motion was made to close the nominations and I put the question. Col. Haskell?You cut Nichols off The Chairman?Tbe gentleman mis understood me. Col Haskell?Well, then, you made a mistake that ought to be repaired. Col Talbert attempted to sustain him self by the convention. Mr. Benet said he bad no doubt the chairman would be sustained. If a mistake had been made it was the Convention's fault and he moved that the motion to close the nominations be reconsidered. This was carried. Mr. Nichols then nominated the fol lowing persons for delegates at large. John W. WofTord. F. W. Wagener, W. C. McGowan, D. S Heoderson. talbert* s insolence. The Chairmao?Are you ready for the question ? Is Richland ready ? Are Charleston and Spartanburg ready? (Mr. Benet, sotto voce: Oh, pshaw I) Col. Haskell?Richland, Spartan burg and Charleston can attend to their I own business without any improper suggestions from the Chair.

L Donaldson of Greenville, was elected a member of the National Dem ocratic Executive Committee by accla mation For the next two hours the conven tion resolved itself into a regular mob The confusion began when the Tilimao ites moved tbe adoption of Jno. Gary Evans* resolution endorsing the State Administration. Col. Haskell made the point of order tbat tbe secretary bad gone ob! with the original in h?3 pocket and that it was not before the convention. - Some one offered a new resolution, and Col. Haskell made the point of or der that by resolution the convention bad decided tbat all resolutions must be submitted unread to tbe committee on platform aod resolutions. This proved a 'stumper" for the Tillmanites, and tbey vainly endeav ored to get around it. A good many insisted that this resolution had already been adopted, while others were equally as sure that only tbe Latimer and Nor ris resolutions bad been adopted. One delegate "claimed" tbe floor and another told him he couldn't bave it and confusion reigned confounded. Such yelling and hurrahing was proba bly never excelled before. Tbe Tillmanites were obliged to eon cede tbe fact that there was no way to adopt the Evans resolutions. Accord ingly a delegate offered tbe following : Resolved, That we view with pride and gratification the Administration of his Excellency Governor 13. R. Tillman and the other State officers, and tbat we heartily endorse them for re elec tion. Col. Haskell made the same point of order as to there being no committee to refer the resolutions to : Col. Caughma:: moved to suspend the rulee and adopt the reeolntion. Joo Gary Evans was in tbe chair and be ruled that as the committee bad been dismissed the convention could entertain the resolution. Col Haskell appealed from tbe rul ing and demanded tbe ayes and nays on tbe appeal. Tbe chairman said the convention had no rules and that tbe ayes and nays could not be called. Mr. Jones, of Spartanburg, told the chairman he was running rough-shod over tbe minority. The water got too hot for Mr. Evans, and he yielded the cbair to Col. Tal bert. Col. Haskell then spoke on the mo tion to adopt tbe resolution. He had hoped that tbe majority would not force the minority iuto any action where there was any sting. He asked for what was Tillman to be endorsed. (Cries of "everything.") He said tbat by tbe Comptroller General's re port furnished yesterday it vas seen tbat in the last twelve months Tillman's management of tbe phosphate matters bad caused a loss of $130,000 to the State, and tbe end is not yet. Mr. Jno. Gary Evans made a fierce attack on Col. Haskell, substantially the same as wbat be said at tbe recent session of the Legislature, calling bim a political ass io a lion's skin, said that he posed as a patriot, .who was a corpo ration attorney while in the Legisla ture. Col. Haskell interrupted him several times saying his assertions were not true and Mr. Evans retorted tbat be would prove tbem or slap bis face. Col. Haskell's reply was, "You d?o little fool, what do you mean ?" Mr. Evans went on tj charge that Col. Haskell's empty .sleeve had often shielded him from danger. [Voice : "Ob, no!"] Col. Haskell in replying said that be did not know whether to character^ Mr. Evans as an ass in a puppy's skin or as a real puppy. He had been in he'ter places than any of bis name had ever heard of and he never relied on his one arm. The statement was a mean and shabby ooe. He lost his arm while a youth, but be was at Fort Sumter in 1861 and at Appomattox in 1865. As to tbe remark that some one, supposedly he, had been on Wall street assailing tbe credit of South Caro lina, if applied to him it was a foul lie. When men for whom be bad pitiful con tempt were guilty cf such petty snarl ing at him be passed it by. Col. Caughman had his say about the "infallibility of Governor Till man," etc., and for a considerable time there was a perfect Habel of voices that precluded anything like transacting business. Finally, about 2:45 o'clock iu tbe morning the long fought for en dorsement resolution was rushed through with shouts. The Gonzales resolution, given above, that was reported favorably, was then passed with two amendments by Messrs. Benet and Morris, as follows : "And we instruct and pledge our delegates elected to said convention to abide by the nominations of said con vention " We pledge the Deraooracy of South Carolina to abide by and actively sup port the nominees of tbe South Carolina September Contention." At 3 o'clock the Convention ad journed ?Condensed from The State. - M T Judge Cooke is now a full fledged Tillmanite, and this is one of the surest signs that the cause of our farmer Governor is in peril. The Judge delights in the advocacy of waning causes, and is always ready for immolation upon the altar of his country lie has been a member of almost every political faction in the State during the last sixteen years, and two years ago he declined to assert that he was a Demociat when his vote was challenged at the polls Afterward* he made application to President Harrison for the position of District Attorney under his Adminis tration, and claimed to be a Republi can at that time, lie is now in full fellowship with a Democratic club, and it is rumored that he is going to be a candidate for State Senator in opposi'ion to Mr. Danaldson. The Judge is an entertaining stump speak er, and will make the Senatorial race a lively affair, as he speaks about as well from one standpoint as another. If he is not a candidate for the State Senate, however, we will expect him to hunt a place in some other direc tion. The Judge is not turning around just for He fun of the thing. ?(jrectivilU Enterjtrise. j Dates and Places for the Campaign Meetings. ??? The State Democratic Executive Committee met in this city last night and made all the arrangements for the coming political campaign meetings to be held throughout the State* And in the allotment of dates the Richland meeting to take place in this city is fix ed for the 4 h of July. This was evi dently done to raise the largest crowd of working men possible in the endeav or to turn the meeting to Tillman. The committee bad its work all cat and dried and it did not take it more than ten minutes or fifteen to do what it had to do. The following are the dates for hold ing the varions campaign meetings.

The date fixed for the holding of the Marlboro meeting will conflict with sur vivors1 celebration in that connty and ? the Marlboro member of tbe committee asked that it be changed on that ac count. The commit'cemeo being push ed for time, io order to get to the Alli ance conference, io consequence turned the matter over to a special committee consisting of Messrs. Pope, Gray and Willoughby, to revise tbe list and re port this morning.?State, May 18. ? ? "Political Perjury." The State directs the attention of Governor Tillman to this clause io the con stitution, Article 1, Section 26: 4'In the government of this common* wealth, tbe legislative, executive and judicial powers of the government shall be forever separate and distinct from each other, and no person or persons exercising the functions of one of said department shall assume or discharge the duties of any other " Io the teeth of this plain law the governor has designated Lieutenant Governor Gary, of the executive branch, and Speaker Jones, of the leg islative branch, to sit as justices of tbe supreme court io cases in which the present justices can not sit because of being interested parties. It looks as if the governor was determined not only to violate precedent by goiog out of his way to rebuke tbe circuit judges, who have always heretofore performed such duties, but to break the law io as many different ways and directions as possible. It is curions how exactly and faith fully Governor Tillman has imitated tbe faults of former administrations while neglecting their virtues. Under him a new line of promotion and a new ring have been established. Precedent has been closely followed io the matters of salaries and expenditures, free pass es aod failures of rail road legislation. The conservatism, dignity and business like methods of the preceding State governments have been absent. Now comes "political perjury*' to make tbe th ng comf1 e It wi I be remember ed that when oo tbe stomp two years ago the governor showed cletrly that tbe senators who bad failed t > vote for reapp ?rteinment had disregarded the plaio requirements of the constitution which they had sworn to obey. That, he contended, constituted perjury. Ho afterward modified it to 4'political per jury." Now to please two of his special friends and prominent supporters or to gratify bis wrath against tbe j edges of the State be has violated the constitu tion he swore to obey?violated it want only and directly. By his own rule it is a clear case of 4'political perjury.'*? Greenville News. Now Try This.
