ECHOES OF THE STATE PRESS.
-, From the Hampton Guardian.
The nomination, of this ticket will send a
thrill of Joy throughout the State. How happy
the thoughtl Hugh S. Thompson, the patriot,
the christian, the statesman, the friend of
the white, the friend of the black, the friend
of all mankind. And Sheppard the young lion
of Edge6eldl This is glory enough for one
day.
.at From the Columbia Register.
The Convention finished it's work, as we
think, from the standpoint Of unselfsh patriot
ism. The body as'we look over it, we esteem
one Of the finest we have ever seen assembled
in South Carolina, so if We have done any;
thing wrong we do not see anybody to better
the body was unquestionably fine. The nomi-
nations will knock hole as big as house in
anything like opposition. And when the body
wound up by putting Ellison Capers upon the
ticket they ssjust went and done it" in way
which will sweep the State literally from the
mountains to the sea. 1t is useless to stop
to give such a man a character. He is a
household word with good and brave men
everywhere in the State.
From the Chester Bulletin.
CM. fThompson's nomination will be well
received throughout the State, and he will
unite every reconcilable element in the Demo-
cratic party. In nominating him the Conven-
tion recognized a well founded popular de-
mand for a. ssnew man. Office seeking may
be att right in itself, but it is sometimes de-
structive of the chances of the candidate for
SUCCESS In almost every case the Convention
threwthe active candidates off the track and
nominated men who may have been aspiring,
but not 50 much The entire State ticket is a
good one, and will give very general satls-
faction.
From the Apbeville Medium.
Col. Thompson is scholarly man, grace
fill writer and an eloquent orator. He will
create general enthusiasm in the coming can
vass and make one of the best Governors we
have ever had. Hon. j. G. Sheppard was NOM
mated Lieutenant Governor without opposl-
ton. He is a gentleman OF fine Personal ap-
pearance and splendid abilities. He filled the
Speakers chair in the House for two terms,
and is acknowledged by all parties to have
made the best Speaker we have had for many
years.
From the Newberry Herald.
The ticket is a good one, and will give salts
faction. The Convention did its work we'll.
10 was the finest political body that ever as
sembled IN South Carolina. This work fur
nishes no suspicion of swapping or log-roll-
ing, or any sort of trickery ; but in every part
Is the outspoken voice of honest, independent
men. OF course the ticket will not please
eyerybody-no ticket would-but it ought to
give universal satisfaction. "And so mote
It be.''.

They are all good men and true, and their
lives have proved their devotion to South
Carolina and their faithfulness to duty. Our
preferences have not prevailed in the selec-
tjon of several of the nominees. But all that
Is forgotten now, and we will 60 toward into
the campaign with but one thought, and that
shall be to leave no stone unturned to swell
the grand Democratic majority in November.

mo better man could have been chosen, and
the true people of South Carolina will flock to
his standard to elect him next November.
His character and purity of life, and his abil-
ties as leader will hush whatever OF dissen-
sion has crept into the Democratic party,
within the past year. He will be our next
Governor. and South Carolina under his ad-
nninistration will continue in its march OF
civilization, progress and advancement.
From the Union Times.
The nomination of the Hon. Hugh 5. Thomp-
son for Governor gives unbounded satlsfac-
ton in this community. He is undoubtedly
the strongest man in the State, and ne Will
unite the Democracy with as great enthusiasm
as Hampton could. Thompson and Victory
must be the watchword from now until the
election. ....-

The Democratic nominee for Governor, the
Hon. Hugh S. Thompson, is gentleman
against whom nothing can be said by any
party or faction in the State. He is, in every
sense of the word, man Of the people, and If

Democrats could not have selected better
man.

us on to a career of unparalleled political and
financial prosperity.

The proceedings of the Convention were
exceedingly harmonious throughout, and the
result should be satisfactory to the people, for
all the states were broken, the candidates gen.
orally ignored, and strong ticket made up OF
new men from all parts of the State.
From the Greenville News.
Hugh S. Thompson's name is received with
enthusiastic satisfaction and cheers, while
that of Gen. Bratton or Gen. Kennedy would
have fallen upon cold ears, and been received
in the State at large with Indifference and
silence which would speedily have broken into
murmurs. ....
