Tho State Radical Convention met IN
Columbia last week. The News and
Courier describes tho Convention as n
howling mob There was neither brains
nor decency in it. The fight was between
larayton and Taft for the State Chairman
ship. The revenue wing of the party
triumphed and Br,lyton won. On the
question of nominating State ticket it
seems tho convention was divided, the
low country negroes fnvoling and tho
up-country negroes opposing ticket.
Tho up country darkies at first prevailed
and laid the ticket on the table, but III the
small hours Of the morning, when many
Of them had retired to tako q snoozo be-
fore departing for their homes, tho ticket
was taken from tho table and nominated,
the Pickons and Grcnnvillo delegations,
according to- tho Greenville News not be-
ing aware of the action Of tho convention
ontil they arrived in Grconyille. Here is
the ticket: For Governor, d. 7. Corbin,
carpot-baEgor and Il malignant hator of
the white people of the State: Lieutonant
Governor, ID. a. StralSor, colorod carpet
baggor from Bermuda; Adjudant and In
specter General, General Carlos Stal-
brand, carpot-bagger; Treasurer, c. G.
Macoy, c"rpet-ba8ger; Secretary of State
II. l.. Smith, colored; Superintendent Of
Education, Rev. Joshua Wilson, colored,

white; Comptroller General f. i. Saw

ane white pcoplo OF tho State that tho Ro-
publican party i'll thisStato has not chang
ed its purposes since the days of Moses
and Chamberlain. AS for our part, We
are glad the ticket has been nominated.
1t will revive in tho memories of our
people the days of Radical rule and
plumber in the State. It will solidify
the Dcmocratic party, nervo each indi-
vidlml member to greater action and
bring out full yoto i'll November. They
must bo benten overwhelmingly. Dem

well in selecting John s. Kountz, of Toledo, o.,
for the new Commanders Chief This is said
without the least disparagement Of the gentle
men who were his competitors for that honor
able position. They are all admirably qualified
for the place, and would have discharged its
duties with zeal and ability. But Comraae
Kountzs qualifications are unusual. In the
first place, he is representative private soldier,
and one-legged one at that.

long campaign amid the mountains and valleys
Of West Virginia. in al It's laborions marches,
raids and retreats in the sharp fights at Cot
ton Hill, Logan Courthouse, Wyoming, Prince

skirmishes, Drummer Kountz was ever in his
place, ever kindly and helpful to his comrades,
ever cheerful and resolute under all manner of
discouragements and hardships, and ever ready
70 take up gun when gun was needed more
than his drum.
His regiment was transferred to the Army
Of the Tennessee and with 1t Drummer
Konntz took part in the siege of yicksburg,
participating in the bloody assaults Of May 10
