close of the last canvass, and that the

| The President then addressed the Con-
vention as fCllows:
GENTLEMEN OF THE CoNvEYT1os-It is
| with feelings of sincere qualification that I
| meet with the representatives Of the hnicr-
son Democracy to-day.
Two IsaEs ago, st the bsginntng of the
| most eventful political campaign ever known
in the history Of our State, / was placed by
your partiality and kindness at the head of
| your organization, and given the command
| OF your serried hosts, who won such a mag
| nificent victory by the peaceful eser=yr of
| the ballot. am here to-day to surrender
| into your hands the trust confided to me by
your generosity, and it Is simple .candor to
express MY earnest thanks for the unmixed
kindness, unlimited confidence and ready
cooperation at ell times accorded in tho
discharge OF my delicate and responsible
duties.
fraught with difficulties and dangers OF no
| little magnitude. AS the unity and har-
| mony of our party Yves essential to rescue
e civilization two years ago, SO ghese i'm
portant attributes are necessary to preserve
that civilization in all its grandeur and sta
| Anderson County which blazed the path
way to success in that dark hour of peril
| and dependency, 90 should you press for
ward now to inauguratet the men,ures whiche
will show to the world that you are i'm
| movable and fixed In the purpose to perfect
the glorious work so auspiciously begun.
1t was an Anderson newspaper which de-
fled and denounced the usurper Chamber.
| lain, when there Was an almost unanimous
expression i'll his favor throughout the
State.
1t was in anderson County tha. The first
Democratic Club YVES formed in 1876, andit
was here that the first Democratic County
Convention was held.
1t was in Anderson that Wade Hampton
| made the opening srcech of that brilliant
campaign which made him the Governor of
Sonth Carolina.
1t was Anderson County that gave the
largest majority Tor the Democratic ticket,
according to population.
| 1t was Anderson County that secured
more votes OF; the coIored people, according
to nnm-era. than any ether County l.: tho
State.
The achievements cs the past impose o
corresponding resi- onsibility for the future,
ind it depends largely upon the unanimity,
! earnestness and zeal with which you enter
this campaign whether or not. the i'd - Of
November next will witness like results Of
your activity and energy in the cause of
good government and q thorough restora-
ton of peace and prosperity TO .Lr State.
In my Judgment, .Sesc results can only
be secured through the ,gencies employed
and ghe principles enuncfnted In the last
campaign. The Democracy of South Caro-
lima went before the country upon plat
form broad enough and wide enough for
affiliations md irrespective OF race. We
proclaimed our acceptance, in perfect good
| faith, of the settled issues growing out of the
| wax between the Staten, and appealed to the
momentous issues then confronting us as
embracing 81, with which which Nc lad to deal.
In the language of our platform, we discoun-
! tenanced all disturbance of the public peace,
denounced eli instigators and promoters
| thereof, end invoked aii-of onr fellow-citi-
iorbearance and cultivate goodwill. We
pledged ourselves to protect the persons,
rights and property of all the people. Upon
| this paramount issue, which involved the
perpetuity of liberty and the preservation OF
Anglo Saxon civilization, we extended o
cordial invitation to every Democrat ,and
Republican who wes willing to unite With
