STATE POLITICAL ITEMS.

The two factions of the Democratic club
at Anderson are unable to reconcile their differ
ences, and the split, which is over municipal
matters, promises to be permanent.
THE Chester Democratic Convention, which
met on Monday of last week, was harmo-
nous gathering of the Democracy. Delegates
to the State Convention were instructed to
support Gen. Bratton for Governor, and J. J.
Hemphill, Esq, of Chester, was endorsed for
Congress.
The Lancaster County Democratic Con-
vention assembled last Monday and elected the
following delegates to the State Convention !:
Ira b. Jones, DR.. G. G. Welsh and Col. II. f.
Cleburne. The Convention also elected the
following delegates to the Congressional Con-
vention Maj B. F. Miller, J. F. Gregory, NJ.
J. Hough, J. r. Massey, j. NJ. Caskey and A.
w. Heath, all of whom will support Gen. j.
B. Erwin for Congress.
- The Union Times has authority for stating
that r. B. Lyons, of Union county, is not now,
never has been and it is not probable that he
ever will be a candidate for Congress; and
furthermore he warns every newspaper Editor,
Reporter, Publisher and devil that he will
take the last button from them or him, in
suit for slander, if they dare again to represent
that he is desirous of taking seat among
such God fOrsaken set as now control Con-
gress.
Says the Bamberg Chronicle of Thursday {:
"While in Charleston last week, we were in
formed by member of Democratic club in
ward 3 that great efforts would be made by
said club to send to the State nominating con-
vention delegation favoring the nomination
for Governor of an independent candidate,
naming at the time Col. E. B. c. Cash We
would suggest to the members that they tie
mill stones about their necks and plunge into
the briny waters of the Ashley or Cooper River
instead of making any such idiotic attempts
as mentioned above"
Georgetown being in the black district, the
Democratic convention recently adopted the
following: ''Resolved, That it is the sense of
this convention that it would he the course of
wisdom for the Democratic party OF the 7th
Congressional District to make no nomina-
ton for member of Congress; trusting that
as the Republican party is in large majority
in the 7th District that they will feel the re-.
sponsibiity of having proper representation
and will select candidate who will intelligent
ly represent the material and other interests
of this District.''
Says the Augusta Chronicle: Mr.. Tilhnan's
speech in his own defence was noble one and
must have caused great sensation. He COM
pletely put down Horr, the end man of the
Rennhlican marty The perrymander of South
Carolina Congressional Districts is nothing to
what any Eastern or Western State would
undertake in case vast hordes of unfriendly
negroes massed themselves politically against
the whites. If the next house be Democratic,
Mr.. Tilman will turn the tables on his present
prosecutors. He will return to Washington
and have grand vindication in the 18th Con-
gress. Meanwhile the rotten Republican craft
is welcome to the fellow who but for Wade
Hampton's clemency would be garbed in striped
garments and an inmate of the penitentiary.
