Mr. Patterson then renewed his mo?
tion about nominations. A motion
about a skeleton ticket scheme for all
officers was laid, on the table. Then
there was several other motions. Gantt
then renewed hts substitute to have
2,000 tickets printed and have the vot?
ing io a secret primary, the votes to
be banded in to the secretaries and
, counted. In the meantime this was
withdrawn again and the nominations
of candidates, without opposition, were
entered opon. It was decided to make
the nominations without speeches:
Mr. R. L. Gooter placed the name of
Jshu Gar; Evans before the boose for
the nominee for Governor. This was
received with applause and seconded
from all parts of the house. He was
nominated by acclamation.
Just as the votiog was in progress
Mr. Jervey, on behalf of the Charles?
ton delegation, said that his delegation
desired to refrain from voting for nomi?
nations. They did not consider the
platform a Democratic one. There
were many 4'ughs" from the delegates.
Mr. Watson theo presented the oame
of Dr. Timmermao for Lieutenant Gov?
ernor and he was likewise nominated.
Mr. Jervey made the same announce?
ment. Mr. Patterson jumped up and
cried : "We have stood this thing long
enough. If they can't stand the plat?
form let them leave the hall. They
come here and addressed us as Demo?
crats-He was called to order by the
chairman, amid cries of "stop."
Mr. Tatum placed in nomination the
name of Dr. W. T. C. Bates for State
Treasurer and he was declared the
nominee.
Mr. Scruggs did the same as to Mr.
O. W. Buchanan for Attorney General
and he was likewise nominated.
Mr. I. H. McCalla moved then that
the convention proceed at once with the
nomination of a foll State ticket.
Mr. Gantt now came to the front
with his remodeled substitute that 2,000
block tickets be ordered printed con?
taining the names of ali the candidates
to be voted for ; that when the ballots
were prepared the delegate shoold pot
his name and county on the back ; and
that the convention take a recess till 8
o'clock. Mr. Sligh raised the point of
order that this was an omnibus motion
and could not be entertained ; that the
motions therein must be separated. Mr.
McCalla moved to lay this on the table,
but this failed and the Gantt motion was
adopted.
Then a committee consisting of
Messrs, Cooper, Appelt and Mayfield
were appointed to conduct tbe nominees
for Governor and Lieutenant Govercor
to the hall. In the meantime the con?
vention took a recess till 8 :30 o'clock.
The convention reassembled at 8 :45
o'clock. Mr. Cooper took the floor and
forthwith a lively spat ensued in which
Larry Gantt figured very prominently
and unenviably. Mr. Cooper said first
that the committee had consulted with
the nominee for Governor and he pre?
ferred for all nominations to be made
before he came to the hall.
Mr. Cooper then moved also to do
away with the scheme to vote by bal
fot. He moved to reconsider. He had
found during the recess that there was
a great deal of dissatisfaction with the
scheme and as this was the last con?
vention of the kind in South Carolina,
he thought the scheme should be done
away with here.
Mr. George Evans then took the
floor. He said that since the convention
tion bad taken the recess some of
them bad taken it on themselves to
ascertain the effect of the block ballot
scheme. They had found that there
was great dissatisfaction about it.
Many considered the scheme one to
accomplish a snap judgment; the
working of a ring scheme to relieve
some of the delegates from their prom?
ises through a secret ballot. Then
again it would take about three hours
to count the vote as there were seven
candidates to be nominated. He
wanted to see unity established in
"our" ranks. They had stood the old
viva voce plan since 1876, and as this
was the last convention to nominate,
owing to the change in the constitu?
tion, it was best to stand to it. He had
been in favor of the block ticket scheme.
Larry Gantt rose, his eyes snapping,
and his beautiful face flushed with re?
sentment. He cried that Evans in?
sinuated that there bad been sharp
practice.
Evans-I said nothing of the kind.
Gantt continuing, bis form swayed
by excitement, said he defied any body
to charge bim with sharp practice. It
bad been charged by the Colomb
State and Charleston News and Couri
during the campaign that there w;
dissatisfaction in the raoks and that
would ran through this convention
"and^* said he, "1 believe it will 4
through this convention. This COD ve
tion today has decided on a direct pi
mary, it does for the whole State, i
the name of God won't it do for th
convention ?" I have the good of th
movement at heart as much as any mai
I am afraid of no man living, or no ms
dead. (Laughter.) Are we children
We decide to do a thiog ; theo go 1
supper, come back aod want to do som
thing eise. Maybe we went to son
blind tiger or dispensary. We cann?
do anything unfair* or improper io th
convention. (Laughter.)
Mr. Watson theo took the floor. E
said he happened to come from 00
of those counties which had no cat
didate. They wanted nothing, bc
good feeling, peace and h arm OD j
Why the necessity of taking up th
secret ballot ?...a? this convention
(Cheers.) Let the whole State koo
how we voted. If we do this, it wi
be the only thing that can stan
against us hereafter. Well, I've tack
led a lawyer ; now let me tackle
newspaper man (turning to Gantt
He wanted to know bow it was tbs
2,000 of those tickets were printed be
fore the convention decided to prie
thora.
Gantt mumbled some explanation
denying that he had anything to d
with it.
Mr. Watson held np a ticket am
cried amid great applause, Here's on
of them now.".
Gantt stammeringly saki that b
knew nothing of the preparation C
them ; another party had it dooe. H<
did not.
Mr. Watson sai ? it looks like a soaj
judgment scheme to him.
Mr. Gantt said Mr. Duncan of New
berry could explain it.
Mr. Berhe made some rather discoo
nected remarks 00 the subject oe
Gantt's side.
Mr. Duo can then paid he wished tc
give a fair aod square statement of th?
matter. He had gone upon his owe
authority and had the tickets pr?par?e
early io the afternoon, knowing the j
could not be gotten ready in an hour 01
two, and be had not told Mr. Gantt oi
what he had done until after Gaott had
offered his scheme.
Mr. Patterson said it was wrong to
make any reflections on Mr Gantt.
Gantt bad not thought of the scheme
till he mentioned it to him the night
before. His delegation had no candi?
date. He though it was a good
scheme and bad voted for it, but
thought now it wa? best to go at it
viva voce.
The Gantt scheme was then recon?
sidered and laid on the table. The
convention then went into nominations.
There were several surprises in the
nominations.
The selection of a nominee for Secre?
tary of State came first. Mr. Shuinan,
of Greenville, nominated Mr. John R.
Harrison. Mr. Cunningham nominated
Mr. D. H. Tompkins and Mr. R. A,
Lancaster presented.tie name of Mr.
L R Hill. The ballot resulted as fol
lows :
Hill, 5S ; Harrison, 99; Tompkins.
145.
The above vote would not have nom?
inated on the first ballot. Spartanburg
and Aiken changed their votes, and the
result was : Hill 30, Harrison 93,
Tompkins 179. The latter was de?
clared the nominee.
Messrs. A. W. Jones and James
Norton were placed before the conven?
tion for nomination for Comptroller
Tb? result of the ballot was as fol?
lows J
Jones, 126 ; Norton, 176?
For the office of Adjutant General
the names of Col. J. G. Watts, Gen.
R. N. Richbourg, Col. Brailsford and
Dr. J. Minus were placed before the
convention. The vote was as follows :
Watts, 136; Richbourg, 56 ; Brails
ford, 25; Minus, 81. Watts was de?
clared the nominee.
For the nomination for the office of
Superintendent of education, the names
of the present incumbent, Mr. W. D.
Mayfield, Jos. L. Keitt and G. Walt
Whitman were presented. The vote
was as follows :
Mayfield, 207; Kiett, 85, Whitman,
10. Mayfield was declared nominated.
The names placed before the conven?
tion for the office of railroad commis?
sioner were J. A. Sligh, H. R. Thomas,
W. D. Evans. W. H. Yeldell, J. C.
Wilborn, J. W. Gray, Jasper Miller,
and J. H. Koon. Each delegation
voted for three men. One delegate
wanted to know if they could plump.
After the vote had been taken the wild?
est confusion obtained for a half hour
The vote was hard to handle without
complications, but it was made a per- j
feet puzzle by the changes of vote an- j
nounced every moment from the flo-jr.
There was no end of confusion and
more wire pulling than one could see io
half a life time ordinarily. The chair?
man was powerless against the Bedlam'.'
No two delegates were in their seats.
It is impossible at this late hour to
give the detailed vote as originally
taken. The summary of the original '
vote, however, is as follows : Sligh,
129; Thomas, 158; Evans, 213;
Yeldell, 151 ; Milborn, 152; Gray, 45;
Miller, 24; Koon, 9. The resultas
announced finally was as follows: J. A. j
Sligh, 94 ; H. R. Thomas, 193 ; W. i
D. Evans, 207 ; W. H. Yeldell, 176 ;
J. C. Wilborn, 197; J. W. Gray. 23 ;
Jasper Miller, ll; J. H. Koon, 33.
Evans, Thomas and Wilborn were
declared the nominees.
I On motion of Mr. Watson the con
vention recooMdered its action reqaii
iog ail resolutions to be submitted t
tbe committee, and decided to coostde
any resolution ordered.
Just at this moment, as Mr. Watso
wat? about to offer a resolution, tb
committee sent out to escort the norn
nee of the convention for Governor int
the hal!, oame in bringiog John Gar
Evans and the other nominees. Tber
was wild applause as they mounted th
stand. The chairman introduced Mi
Evans as "the next Governor of Sont
Carolina.
Mr. Evans spoke as follows:
Gentlemen of iife Convention an
Fellow Democrats :
Few men, gentlemen, in the histor
of our State have been honored as
have been to-night by you. Recog
nizing the fact of my youth, I hav
felt that I can indeed thank yo
from the bottom of my heart for thi
honor. I would be false to myse!
if I told you I thought this is th
happiest hour of my life. I feel tba
the responsibility resting upon ra;
shoulders is indeed great. But I fee
that with the united democracy am
with the people of South Carolina
whom you represent, supporting me ii
my efiort for honest government, tba
my efforts will not prove futile an<
that the will of the majority of th<
people of South Carolina will be cat
ried out at ali events. (Applause. )
Our government is a govern men
of the majority, 3nd should I be elect
ed to the position of chief execntivt
of your State, I feel that I would b<
false to you should I not carry out tin
will of the majority, when it is fairly
expressed, at all hazards (Ap
plause.)
We are, gentlemen, Democrats
.We see here men who fought for the
principles of Democracy ; we see herc
men who sat upon the laps of theil
mothers and heard of the brave deed?
of their fathers who fought for State'(
rights, men who sat there, childrer
then, men now, Democrats now-mer
who imbibed Democracy with theil
mother's milk. Tell me that those
men, tell me that those grayhaired
sires, could be false to South Caro?
lina ?
It comes with bad grace, from any
South Carolinian, seeing your com?
plexion, seeing and hearing yotu
principles, and hearing the voice . ol
South Carolina expressed at the ballot
box, to say that this grand old State
is not safe in your hands. (Ap?
plause.) There are some citizens in
South Carolina who are fond of attach?
ing a tail to their Democracy.
We are Democrats. We are not
Cleveland Democrats. We are not
any other kind of qualified Demo?
crats We owe allegiance to no man.
We owe allegiance to the principles
which were fought for by you and
your fathers and my father, and those
principles must be maintained at all
hazards (Applause.)
We have reached a state in the his?
tory of our country which was pro?
phesied by your own statesman,
Calhoun. We have reached a state
now where parties are not defined by
principles, but are drawn by geogra?
phical lines. We find true Demo?
cracy in the South and in the West
the home of principle, whose men
fought for State's right?, and who are
against a centralized government.
We find on the contrary the oppon?
ents of Jeffersonian Democracy,
which meatr. equal rights to all and
special privileges to none-we find
those men-living iu the North and
the East. We find an.effort to cen?
tralize the government confined to a
section which has grown rich upon
the success of principles which have
robbed the farmers of the South and
the West.
What is our Democracy ? In 189G,
I make the prophesy here that thc
South and the West will be called to
redeem the Democratic party from the
plunderer and the monopolist and the
millionaire, who are growing fearful,
if they do not have centralization of
the government that those million will
become the halter which will surround
their necks.
A great deal has been 6aid in your
convention about Democracy. A
great deal has been said by people
outside who attach tails to their
Democracy against you. In natural
history we read that the ape as he
grows old becomes suspicious of his
tail. It worries him mentally and
physically until he dies, believing
that that appendage is the cause of
his death. Such will be the fate of
such Democrats in South Carolina
(Applause.)
There assembled in Ocala under the
Southern sun, under the shades of the
palmetto and almost down on the
."Swanee Ribber," a body of the
honest yeomanry of the country.
Those men did not go there as poli?
ticians, not as representing party,
but they were there representing the
agricultural interests of this nation.
They set forth lhere certain principles
which are commonly known as thc
Ocala platform. Those principles
were set forth as principles that were
necessary to rescue their government
and to save your interests which is
the basis of all wealth, agricultural?
ists, from the clutches of the Northern
Shylock.
We who are dependent on agri?
culture for our existence sympathized
with them We said in our conven?
tion, 'This is true Democracy, and
we endorse it here/ and I endorse it
now. [Applause.)
But they say it is not Democracy.
Bear with me a minute, and let me
show the ignorance of people who
criticise and condemn you. Let me
show you that those people can
recognize Democracy when they i
it it printer's ink. Let me refer
this platform.
The Democratic party in conv
t?o ii aRSsembed at Chicago endori
a platform of principles. They
true aud represent honest gove
ment and are dear to the hearts
every one of you. They have b(
endorsed by your convention prop
ly as true Democracy, and th<
principles connected with them ha
been endorsed, and I will show \
that the National Democratic party
convention assembled in Chicago 1
incorporated a majority of t"h<
principles, and that the Democra
majority in Congress have enact
into law every principle of that pl
form not so adopted save one.
ls not that the highest evidence
its Democracy ?
It reads as follows: "We derna
the abolition of national banks
That is Democracy as formulated
Sec. 8 of the Chicago platfor
When they asked for the abolition
the tax on State banks what did tl
mean ? It meant death to natioi
banka because they cannot compc
with State banks whose issue
untaxed.
"We demand that the amount of t
circulation medium be speedily i
creased to not less than $o0 p
capita."' The National Democrat
platform deplored the state of affai
of the farmers of the country, callii
attention to the tremendous mortgaj
indebtedness upon the farms, ai
called on Congress to afford rel ii
How was that to be obtained if n
by an increase of the circulatir
medium ? So that plank is include
in the national platform.
"We demand that Congress shi
pass such laws as will effectual
prevent the dealing in futures of s
agricultural and mechanical produ
tioti8 ; providing a stringent syste
of procedure in trials that will secui
the prompt conviction, and imposin
such penalties as shall secure tl
most perfect compliance with tl.
law." That has passed the Hous
of Congress, where the Democrai
had over 80 majority, but was defea
ed by the Senate. So, is not tlu
adopted by the Democracy ?
"We condemn the silver bill recen
ly passed by Congress, and deman
in lieu thereof the free and unlimite
coinage of silver."" That demand i
made absolutely in section 7 of th
Democratic platform. If Englis
means anything it means that free an
unlimited coinage was demanded b
the Democratic party, but under th
prostitution of the President of th
United States a diflerent constructio
was placed upon that demand and w
were cheated and defrauded of it
benefits. (Applause.)
"We demand the passage of law
prohibiting alien ownership of land
and that Congress take prompt actio:
to devise some pian to obtain all land
now owned by aliens and foreigi
syndicates ; and that all lauds nov
held by railroads and other corpora
tions in excess of such as is actual1/
used and needed by them be reclaim
ed by the government, and held fo
actual setters only." That is sectioi
6 of the Democratic platform adoptei
at Chicago, and almost identical ii
language.
"Believing in the doctrine of equa
rights to all and special privileges U
none.'" Those are Jeffersonian prin
ciples which are set forth in the Chi
cago platform.
We demand that our nationa'
legislation shall be so framed in the
future as not to build up one industry
at the expense of another.'" This ii
almost identically section 5 of the
Democratic platform adopted at Chi
cago.
"We farther demand a removal ol
the existing heavy tariff tax from the
necessities of life that the poor of our
land must have." That is the Demo?
cratic plank of the Chicago platform
demanding a tariff for revenue only.
BDt what have we to-day ? We have
a Democratic House, a Democratic
.Senate and a Democratic President,
and we had the right to expect a tanti
for revenue only, and yet we have a
bill comparatively little better than
the McKinley bill. Why? Because
the South and West now raise raw
materials cheaper than the Northeast,
and they leave a high protective tariff
on manufactured products and demand
free raw materials because the farm?
ers consume manufactured articles
and sell the raw materials We asked
for bread and they gave us a stone.
"We further demand a just and
equitable system of graduated tax on
income." That is not incorporated
in the Democratic platform, but it has
been passed as a law by the Demo?
cratic party in Congress. And that is
the stumbling block which will make
Republicans of every Democrat in
the Northeast Already the Repub?
lican Legislature in one Northern
State has ratified the course of the
Democratic Senators of that State io
their opposition to this measure,
which is not in this platform, and
which has been enacted by the United
State Congress. And yet these men,
these men who say that we are not
Democrats, support a man who voted
against that provision, a man who
leagued with the Republicans to
defeat that provision, and to defeat
silver legislation and other principles
of pure Democracy included in the
Democratic platform.
"We demand the most rigid, hon?
est and just State and nationa! govern?
ment control and supervision of the
means of public communication and
transportation, and ii this control a
supervision does not remove 1
abuse now existing, we demand 1
government ownership of such mei
of communication and transporatior
They have never demanded t
government ownership of rail roa
They simply demanded the control
the railroads, and when we come
the point when it will be nece6S2
to keep them from owning the pt
pie then we will demand governm?
ownership, and not till then. Is i
that pure Democrocy and for t
protection of the people ? That I
been enacted by Congress when t
interstate commerce bill became
law and we only ask that the co
mission be given full power.
When you passed your railro
commission law you gave your co
mission absolute control of the re
roads, with power to fix rates, sci
dules, connections, etc., but you ha
never demanded ownership of t
roads and you don't desire it.
"We demand that the Congress
the United States submit an amen
ment to the Constitution providi:
for the election of United Stat
Senators by direct vote of the peop
of each State." The Democrat
Congress has that enacted into la
and a Democratic Senate defeated i
So you see every plank of th
platform save one, which is the su
treasury, is included in the Deni
eratic platform and those which a
not have been enacted into law by
Democratic Congress. The su
treasury is simply a plan put forth ?
an evidence of a disease existin
among the farmers who demanded
these doctors of the nation to c
something to cure that disease.
Have not the people the right 1
petition Congress ? I maintained th
before the people and I claim tin
they have such a right under tl
Constitution of the United Stales,
am a true Democrat and I stand o
the national Democratic platform an
I stand on the Ocala platform. I wi
not fool my people, let it cost m
what it may (Loud applause,)
Now, gentlemen of the conventior
I say this because it has been fiun
in your laces as a taunt. We i
South Carolina are a noble peoph
We should not cherish animosity an
do not We invite every true an
honest citizen to come with us an
join in this bill of rights to preserv
white supremacy. White supremac
is worth more than party principl
(loud applause) and the man wh
opposes these demands, who oppose
the free and unlimited coinage (
silver, cannot stand before his peopl
and claim to be a Democrat. (Ap
plause.)
We are a united people. We stan
here united, and if I thought, gentli
men, that my nomination and m;
election meant unhappiness lo th
people of South Carolina and threaten
ed the institutions of my State, whicl
I love, for every true patriot loves hi
State, I would ask you to take bael
this nomination, and I would prer
God to put out the spark which glow
in my heart. (Applause.)
If elected- I shall be Governor o
the entire people. I shall know nt
faction and shall see that the will o
the majority is obeyed and the inter
ests of the minority are protected bj
all the law and power which is placee
in my hands as your Chief Execu
tive. (Applause.)
And now I shall leave you. ]
congratulate you on the work thal
you have done to-day. I congra?
tulate you upon the bold manner ii:
which you remained steadfast tc
principles and the pledges you made
to the people.
I promise you that the Dispensary
law, which seems to be the bone oi
contention among some people, bul
which I believe to be the only solu
tion of the whiskey problem, and the
only rescue of the people from the
tyranny of the whiskey ring, I shall
enforce to the very letter. (Ap?
plause.)
I thank you for your kind support,
gentlemen. I thank you as the
Democratic party and as the repre?
sentatives of the people, and when I
pledge you my heart, when I pledge
you my hand, and when I pledge you
my head, I have done all that mortal
can do. You do the rest and sup?
port me, and I assure you that the
proud banner of the Palmetto State
which you have placed* iu my hands
shall never trail in the dust as long as
South Carolinians are true to princi?
ple and to South Carolina (Tremen?
dous applause.)
At the conclusion of Mr.. Evans'
speech the other nominees, with the ex?
ception of Dr. Timmerman, spoke
briefly.
A committe vus sent to bring Gover?
nor Tillman io, but he could cot be
found.
Mr. Watson offered the following,
which was adopted with a rush :
Resolved, By the Democrats of South
