E. E. MURRAY,
County Chairman.

The Republicans of the Fifth Con-
gressional District have nominated as
their standard-bearer Robert Smalls, the
colored Congressman who stands convic-
ted in the Circuit Court of this State Of
receiving bribe. he will oppose Col.
Tillman in this contest, and will, We
hope, be badly beaten. His nomination
by the Republicans is very appropriate,
as it shows how corrupt their party is
still. 1t has not been purified according
to an honest mans idea of purity.
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1878-08-15

There is something peculiarly and suf-
feringly suggestive in the word Boils.
Many suffer with this exhibition of i'm
pure blood which dis6gures the person
and annoys attendants and associates,
when they could be made clean and
their blood kept pure by using DR.. Bulls
Blood Mixture.

S. Fillebrown, A. W. Curtis and H. II.
Logan, of Richland.
Mackey moved that the convention 60
into an election for chairmen of each
Congressional District and the various
counties; also, that recess of five mill
utes be taken in order to allow the sew
eral delegations to make their selections.
Adopted.
After the recess the various congress
ional and county chairmen were elected.
A motion was adopted empowering the
executive committees of those counties
not represented in the convention to
elect their several chairmen.
Fillebrown moved that the rule re-
curing ten days notice before holding q
Congressional Convention be suspended
30 as to allow the delegates from the
Third District to make their nomination
during the day. Adopted.
A motion to reconsider the vote where
BY the resolution for committee to wait
on Governor Hampton was laid on the
table wss made and put, and the Chair
seemed to think "the ayes" had it, but
Mackey was not satisfied, and called for
q division. When the count was made
there were Al votes in favor of and %
against the motion.
A motion was then made to adopt the
resolution, and decided in the affirmative.
No sooner had the Chair announced
this result when Miller, of Beaufort,
moved for its reconsideration.
BampGeld seconded the motion and
said that Christian, the most radical Re-
publican in Beaufort County, on Thurs
day, had been recommended to Governor
Hampton for appointment as Commis..
sioner of Election for that county, and
he was appointed Immediately. After
this, he asked, do you suppose that
Hampton will not act fairly and give us
a just representation on the boards OF
election commissioners For my part,
he said, I believs he will "tote fair" and
if we appoint this committee to wait on
him after what be has done it will appear
very disrespectful to him.
Shrewsbury moved TO lay the motion
TO reconsider on the table, which was
voted doyn by considerable majority.
Miller's motion We then put and car
ried.
Several members now gathered around
Straker, the original mover of the reso-
luton, and, after whispering in his ear
for a few minutes, he said: "Mr. Chair.
man. I withdraw the resolution" and
thus it was disposed of after occupying a
great deal of time.

ANYTHING which Imay say to the public IN
this communication The position OF the
Democratic patty in the parish OF kicii'and
demands sober, sc Fious reflection. The con-
ven,lon has met, and that which threatened

possessed Of little influence. still desire to
use what have to bind together again tliai
which has been severed-the broken bands
of the Democratic Brotherhood. Are there no
means to DO this! Is there no remedy? Will
naugh, but frud atone! Is it possible that the
democrats of Richland are 80 blinded by par

lose sight Of the great issue before ns, the
wiping out Of the last ves,ige of RadIcaiism,

the genius Of republican governments con

party, and Notwithstanding the objections
(unless they I've Of very serious nature) tina
the minority may have to him, party usage
party fealty and Justice demand that these b'

Ii is consonant with the practice of the dem
