THE ANTI-THURMAN UNDERCURRENT IN THE
ONO CONvENTION--Gen. Andrew jackson War

Congress. He attended the recent Ohio de To-
cratic convention In Columbus He was and
now is an ardent Thurman man. Gen. Warner
was put In nomination as a delegate at large to
the CINCINNATI convention, and was defeated.

Thurman, led by the Payne, Jewett and Bishop
forces that while everybody talked Thurman
and dld not antagOniZe his endorsement in any
way; thal no delegate at large could be elected
nntll ne mad pledged himself as TO second choice
Ior either Jewett or Payne: that the undercur-
rent Tor Doth OF these candidates was sufficient
10 control the convention. Hence the General
attributes his defeat as also the defeat OF Gen,
Rice and j. Frank Mckinney TO the fact that
neither OF them would pledge themselves to any
second choice, being for Thurman first, last and
all the time.

matter should have boon postponed until
August, but we submit cheerfully to tho ex-
pressed will of the majority and shall do all
in our power to mako both our State and
National ticket successful. The die hos boon
cast aud wo trust evory Democrat will con-
sider well the Importance Of the issues at
stake and leavo no stono uniformed to preserve
and perpetuato our present power in tho
administration of tho State Government.
Tho ticket placed in the fold, though not
composed Of brilliant and foroible campaign
speakers, possesses qualities of head and
heart worthy Of confidence and support.
Con. Hagood has long been noted for his
administrative abilities md he will ontcr on
the duties Of his ofice with tho additional
advantage Of four years experience in tho
Offices about tho capital. Respected by all
for his known integrity. honorcd for his
services to the State in tho past, and known
to possess both experience and qualification
for tho Office he will recoive the ready support
of tho party. Con. Kenncdy and Col. You
mans are eloquent speakers and possess
qualifications for the Offices for which they
have boen nominated. Messrs Richardson and
thompson arc also considered good speakers.
So that in case of aotivo opposition wo will
be ablo to mcot our adyorsarics at all points.
Tho ontiro ticket is composed of mon IF OK
emplary character and admitted ability.
Our danger, if any, in the present cam
paign will proceed, not from tho ticket nomi,
mated, but from tho indifference and division
likely to DO born Of past success and tho
absence of opposition in 1878. Tho Chairs
man of the convention said truly, thcro is
ofton greater danger in SUCCESS than in
defeat in tho absence of opposition than in
aotivo opposition. Defeat and actiyo opposi-
tion tond both to unity and oncrgizo party,
whilo success breeds indifference and luke
warmness,
In the campaign of 1878 the ontiro vote Of
this county was but littlo moro than the
Democratic majority in 1876, showing q
falling of in votes pollcd of nearly one thou
sand. Let our people, without entoring into
tho campaign actively at present, loso no
opportunity to quiet my probable disscnsion
or to encourage oscry ono to turn out and
vote ut tho election. Wo want to carry our
State for tho Democratic candidate for the
Presidency as we'll rs for State officers and
with iull vote this can be dono.

The End Of tho Republican Par

Whoever may be nominated at ChioaEy ny
to day or tomorrow, the proceedings of tho
Convention have already shown TINT the
Republican party, which nominated its first
successful candidate for Presidbnt in that
city twenty years ago, is about to bury
itself whero it was born. It ID
not to be expected that tho Republican
party will at once dissolve simply booauso
it has logically demonstrated that it ought
to dissolve, or because it has boon shown in
tho Republican discussions over tho Re-
publican nomination that not one of it's
conspicuous candidates is Gt to bo President
of tho United States. Parties which havo
outivcd their usefulness moy still for a
timo run on ttoir headway, but this can.
not continue tor many years, and tho mo.
mentum of the Republican party is obvi.
ously almost exhausted. Tho Republican
party, organized to accomplished definite =
purpose, survives us all organization for the
! distribution of patronage. Its "bosses"
oontine themselves entirely to that function.
There will still for years DO many tllousauds
OF men who will call them selves Repub!i-
cans without knowing or tobiug tho trouble
to inquire whut they mean by it. Without
the support Of many thousands of suoh
men the occupation of political leader
who is not statesman, but only q "boss,"
would be gone altogether, instead of only
becoming increasing difficult But the
informing spirit of tho Republican party
has departed, aud the body, tho "organiza-
tom" cannot long survive its departure.
1t remains for tho Cincinnati Convention to
show whether tho same epitaph which, as
all men who see anything now see must bo
written over one of tho great political par.
tics of this country, will or will not servo
for them both.-Ncw Yorh Word.
| WASHINGTON, D. c., July 2.-The
South Carolina Senators succeeded in cous-
ing tho retention of all tho appropriations
| for improvements in navigablo waters of
tho State, which the House had given in
tho river aud harbor bill, and obtained
large increase for Charleston harbor. Mr..
l1vins was very anxious to huvo something
given for improvements in his district, but
Senator Butler thought it best to apply to
Charleston harbor tho greater portion of
the increase tho Senate was willing 10 allow,
because of its superior Importance, and to
provide for work Of less consequence
hereafter.
Tho State has Jared we'll in this bill, in
comparison with somo others, better, por-
.haps, than any except States represented on
tho committee on commerce.
Tho Senate increased the aggregate of
the bill to about nino millions, and it is
feared by its friends that tho President
will veto tho bill and mako modicum of
glory for his administration by placing
check upon Democratic extravaganza with
the peoples money. 1t should bo noticed
however, that Of the thirteen votes against
the passage of the bill only two were Re-
publican.

TIE PLATFORM.
Mr.. Picrrcpont, of New York, offered tho
following platforms:
After reviewing the administration of tho
continued confidence and support OF the
people, and submits for their approval tho
following statements Of principles and pur-
poses which will continue to inspire it:
First. Afirms that tho work Of tho last
twcnty-ono years has been such as to COM
mend itselfto the favor Of the nation, and the
fruits of the victories should bc preserved;
that tho discovered union, happily restored,
should DO rcrretuatcd; our credit never to be
impaired and Tho rcyiving Of industries Of the
country be further promoted.
Second. The constitution is tho supreme
law, and not nero contract Of confodorated
States 1t made nation. Some powers arc
denied to the nation whilo others arc denied
to tho States, but tho boundary botwccn tho
powers delegated and those reserved is to be
determined by tho nation and not by State
tribunals.
Third. Popular education is to DO left to
tho caro- Of the State; but it is tho duty Of the
National Government to aid that work to tho
oItont of it's constitutional duty.
Fourth. Recommends that the Constitution
be amended SO as to forbid tho Legislatures
Of each State to mako any law respecting the
establishment Of religion, and to forbid the
appropriation Of public funds to support
scctarian schools.
Fifth. AfIirms the belief that duties levied
for tho purpose of revenue should SO discrimi'
nato as to favor American labor.
Sixth. No further grants Of tho public
domain to railway corporations. Slavery
having porishcd in tho States, its twin bar.
barity, polygamy, must dio in the territories
That everywhere tho protection accorded tc
citiaons Of American birth must bo socurod
