tended welcome to the visitors from
Massachusetts, New York, Georgia and
other States, Maj. G.. L. Buist introduced
the orator of the day, General J. B.
Kershaw, of Camden. Gen. Kershaw
spoke for about an hour and half, and
was frequently applauded by his audi
dience. His speech was indeed finished
production, and its delivery showed that
its author was speaker of attainments
and ability.
After the conclusion of Gen. Kershaw's
speech, the ceremonies were closed with
benediction by the Rev. W. H. Camp:
bell, chaplain of the Palmetto Guard, and
the companies filed off to the different
houses assigned for their entertainment.
A great many of those who were not
connected with any military company
returned by the first opportunity to the
city, while others remained until late IN
the afternoon, preferring the pleasant
breeze on the Island to the intense heat
in the city.

whole, and it was brilliant success, and
everything passed off to the satisfaction
of the citizens and visitors, and reflected
great credit upon the ability and zeal of
| its managers. Give Charleston credit for
the success with which this centennial
celebration has been attended.
From Wednesday until Friday evening
every train that left the city was crowded
to its utmost capacity with passengers
leaving for their respective homes; not,
however, without thankful hearts that
they had been permitted to witness and
participate in the festivities of this auspi-
ccious occasion. The hospitalities exten-
ded to all visitors by the Charlestonians,
was only excelled by their tropical eli
mate. The number of visitors to the
centennial is variously estimated at from
10000 to 10000.
In addition to the attractions OF the
centennial, there were other occasions
of interest during the week that con-
duced to the entertainment OF the strang-
ers, the most prominent among which
were the races between the sailing and
row boats and the baseball match be-
tween the Savannah and Charleston
Clubs. But we fear we are trespasslng,
and will desist from further account OF
our pleasant trip to Charleston.

the demonstration is complete that the
first step in reform must be the peoples
choice of honest men from another party,
lest the disgrace of one political organi-
zation infect the body polite, and there
by, taking no change of men or party,
we can get no change of measures and no
reform. All these abuses, wrongs and
crimes are the product of sixteen years
ascendency of the Republicans them
selves; but their reformers are voted
down in convention and displaced from
the cabinet; the party's mass of honest
voters is powerless to resist the eighty
thousand holders, its leaders and
guides. Reform can only be had by a
peaceful civil revolution.
We demand change of system-a
change of Administrations change OF
parties, that VIC may have change OF
measures and of men.
A MINORITY REPORT.
Gen. Tom. Ewing, of Ohio-At the re-
quest of several members of the Commit
tee on Resolutions, present minority
report as to one phase of the platform.
The undersigned members of the COM
mittee recommend that the following
clause in the resolutions reported by the
committee be stricken out: "As such
hindrance, we denounce the resumption
clause of the act of 1875, and we here de-
mand its repeal" cheers and they re-
commend that there be substituted for
that clause the following: "The law for
the resumption of specie payments on the
first of January, 1879, having been enacted
by the Republican party without delib-
Grafton in Congress or discussion before
the people, and being both Intellectual to
secure its object, and highly injurious to
the business of the country, ought to be
forthwith repealed" Cheers.

Great confusion followed this motion,
and many motions, amendments and
points of order were submitted. 1t was
with difficulty that the President kept
ANYTHING like order during the exciting
contest between hard and soft money,
which was involved in this clause and its
proposed amendment. The adoption of
the majority report condemned only the
date fixed for resumption under the act,
while the adoption of the minority re-
port would condemn the whole act for
resumption. The previous question was
called and sustained. Upon the motion
to strike out the clause in the majority
report and insert the minority report, the
vote stood-ayes, 219; nays, SIS. The

The following resolutions were offered
and adopted:
Re,oEved, That it be recommended to
future Democratic National Conventions
as the sense of the Democracy here in

two-thirds rule be abolished as unwise
and unnecessary.
ResoAed, That the States be requested
to instruct their delegates to the Demo-
cratic National Convention to be held in
1880, whether it be desirable to continue
the two-thirds rule longer in force in ma
tional conventions, and that the national
committee insert such request in the call
for the next convention.
Mr.. McMichael of Missouri presented
the following resolution, which was
adopted:
Resolved, That we, the delegates, here
by pledge our Individual and united sup
port to the nominees of this convention; !;
esteeming it a positive duty to employ
every honorable means for the success Of
the same in the November election.
Mr.. Riley, of Nevada, offered the fol-
lowing resolution:

vention be rendered to the president and
Board of Directors of the Merchants Ex-
change of St. Louis for their liberality in
presenting the use of their magnificent
building for the deliberations of this Con-

pursued BY It's acknowledged leaders in the
House Of Representative, shows It 10 be .
reactionary party, opposed TO progress and In
favor OF oVerturning those measures which
suits of the war,
10. To restore power to a party that en-
deaVored TO betray the Union, that placed
every obstacle IN the way of preserving It, that
discouraged enlistments and the raising of the
needed revenues, that tried to elect a Presi-
dent In 1854 on the expressed declaration that
the war of the Union was a failure, and that
has placed itself on record against those
amendments to the Constitution which gave
political rights to the freedmen and protected
the Treasury of the nation from Confederate
claims would be an act of national suicide un-
paralleled in the history Of the world.
II. It has been challenged to show to the
people a single public act performed during
the past twenty years on which to base its
claim for support and confidence, and up to
the present time no answer has been made to
the challenge.
IS. 1t has given proof of its unftness to
govern the Union by nominating man ior
the Presidency who at the breaking out Of the
war publicly proclaimed his disapproval OF its
object, during its prosecution secretly favored
the Confederates, and at Chicago, in 1864,
signed resolution declaring the war for the
Union failure.
10. The false income return of Samuel j.
Tilden for 1862; his failure to make any re-
turns subsequent to 1868; his unwil,inguess to
pay his share of tax that was relied upon to
pay the expenses of the Government during its
severe trial; his intimate association with such
politicians as VIM. N. Tweed; his manipula-
tion Of railroad schemes; his participation in
the profits of the Illegal paper currency Of the
mining companies of Michigan, and his whole
record as a lawyer and a politician prove him
to be as unreliable as the party that supports
him, and as unworthy of the peoples conf
dence. The nomination of such a ma1 is little
short of an insult to the honest and intelligent
sentiment of the country.

10 He is in favor Of free schools and the

VERY SIsNIFIcAET.-The Democratic pIil.
form is being changed to suit every locality.
It is one thing in the North, another in tKs
South. In the Rome Daily Meas, Rome -,
and the Weekly Courier, OF the same place, th6
following is the version given ~f one Of fhs
Democratic planks: ~
''Reform is necessary to rebuild and esfSdS-
lish in the hearts of the whole people thsi
Union, eleven years ago happily rescued rom
the danger of corrupt ssnsTGliSn which, lffes
inflicting upon ten States the rapacity Of aSrsa

Offices of the Federal Government itself aFiEE
incapacity, waste and fraud; Infected Sytes
and municipalities with the contagion Of iis17
rule, and locked fast the prosperity Of Al -

The original text, as published in Gnrthen
papers, is as follows:
''Reform is necessary to rebuild and estao-
lish in the hearts of the whole people t1e
Union, eleven years ago happily rescued non
the danger of SscesSi0H Of States" &c -
The change is a slight one, 70 be sure, out Z
very important one. The Northern version +
to lead the friends of the Union to believe thai
Democracy is In favor Of Union and opposed
to secession. The Southern version is 70 ims
press upon the Southern mind that Demoeraeg,
is friendly to the Lost Cause, and openly IN.
favor Of the principles Of secession. Like the
man who stands as the Presidential candidate
on this platform, Democracy has two taeesl
neither of which has an honest expressiops
