union isiths only hope oflsucoess, and
give these nominees that support which
is due TO the principles enunoiated by
the Convention, OF which they are the
embodiment. Personally, they arc un-
Objectionable, and by education are
amply qualified for their high trusts. " :;
GREENvLnE.-The Mountainee, says:
"Tho proceedings of tho recent Con-
vention held in Columbia, to inaugurate
o reform party in this State, will be
found on our first page. The necessity
for such measure has been made too
plainly apparent to need explanation or
bolstering. Republican rule has 80 en-
barrassed the people as to demand an
earnest and searching reform in the whole
machinery of government. But while
We give cordial acquiescence to the
movement, We are panied to state that
we cannot oonsoientiously yield an un-
faltering support to all the results of the
Convention. We do not think the nomi-
nee for Governor the right man, and Sc
riously doubt whether he will be able to
carry with him the support of any con-
thus will be added to the humiliation of
defeat the damaging influence of COM
promise of principle. Beyond this, we
state no objection now."
The Mountaineer supports Gen. But
Ter, but not Judge Carpenter.
CHESTER. Reporter says:
eve surrender our editorial columns to
detailed report of the proceedings of
the Convention that assembled in Co.
lumbla on the 18th instant for the pur-
pose OF lnaugurating measures to reform
the State Government, by substituting
honesty for dishonesty, justice for in
justice, and on equal regard for the
rights of all, in place of partial and
prejudiced administration of the laws.
The Convention was large and enthu-
siastic one, and it's deliberations were
marked with tho utmost harmony and
earnestness. The name adopted for the
new organization is singularly felioitous,
implying union of all parties, classes,
conditions, and colors, for the great pur-
pose of reform.
YORK. Enquirer says:
San exciting campaign is promised for
the salvation of the country; but, for our
part, we propose to keep as cool as pos
sible. The weather is sultry enough now,
and our stock Of caloric during the sum-
mer will not be increased by avoidable
mental agitation. Our people are patri-
otto, and will try to assist in saving the
country. but they wish to do their share
of the work as quietly as possible. They
will, at any rate, strive for victory over
the grass which is now threatening their
crops, before they invest heavily in poll
tics"
The Darlington Democrat, the Sumter
TFatcAmaa, and the Spartanburg SPARTA,
receive the movement without comment.
The Guardian, (Columbia,) strongly en-
dorses.
WILLIAMSBURG. The Stu endorses
the movement.
KEIsHAw. The Camden Journal does
the same, and makes vigorous appeal
in its behalf.
BLAURENs. s.-The Herald says:
"The spirit of the movement-the life
of the ne,o party now organized-is re-
form in the administration of the State
Government. The present state OF
things in South Carolina is so oneroue
to oil good citizens as to appeal to our
manhood for an effort to throw it off.
The Scott dynasty must be overthrown.
To be rid of it demands q manly effort
from all good citizens and honest men.
We move forward as citizens, disregard
ing Federal politics, old issues, and indi-
vidual prejudices.
ABDEyInLE.- Press and Banner
is reticent.
UNIoN.-The Times reserves it's com
ments until the candidates are heard
from.
The Greenville Enterprise defers it's
comments. The Darlington .Somherne,
is silent, and the Spartanburg RepuJA-
can follows its Charleston con1.ere.
