Col. ThOmps"n's nomination will be
well received throughout the State, and
he will unite every rccuncilablc element
In the Democratic party. In nominating
him tho Convention recognized II well
founded and popular demand for II new
man" Office seeking may be all right in
itself, but il is sometimes destructive of
tho chances of the candidate for success.
In almost every case tho Convention
threw tho active candidates Off tho track
and nominated men who may have been
aspiring, hut not so much. The entire
State ticket is q good ono, nnh will give
very general satisfaction.
From tie ihbcriHc .Mdium.
Col Thompson is Il scholarly man, u
graceful writer and an eloquent orator.
IIu will create general enthusiasm III the
coming canvass and mako one OF the
best Governors we have ever had. Hon.
j. &. Sheppard WAS nominated i.ieuten-
ant-tiovernor without opposition. Heis
II gentleman of tine personal appearance
and splendid abilities. He filled the
Spenkcr's chair in the House for two
terms, and is acknowledged by all par
ties to have made tho best Speaker we
have had for many years.
From tie .NcmL0ry Hrdd
The ticket s good one, and will give
satisfaction. The Convention did its
work we'll. II was the finest political
bndy that cvur assembled In South Caro-
lima. This work furnishes no suspicion
of swapping or log-rolling. or any sort
of trickery: but i'll every part is the out
spoken voice Of honest, independent
mon. or course the ticket will not please
evcrybody-no ticket woull--but 1t
ought to give universal satisfaction.
;.inu so mote II DO"
From the Chester Reporter,
They aro NIL good men and true, and
their lives have proved their devotion to
South Carolina and their faithfulness to
duty. Our preGerant ea have not prevailed
in the selection of several of the nomi-
necs But all that is forgotten now, and
wo will 20 forward into the campaign
with but one thought, and that shall be
tn leave no Stono unturned TO swell the
grand Democratic majority i'll November.
From the Sumter Spirit Of The Times.

which shall lead III on To n career OF un-
paralleled political and financial pros
perity.
From the GrrenriVe Neus
Hugo s. Thonpson's name Is received

" hile that of Con. Bratton or Gen. Ken
nedy would have fallen upon cold ears,
and been received in the State Mt large
