COLUMBIA, ,. o., June 26.---The
State Democratic Convention
which met here to-day proved to
be one OF the most remarkable DO
litical assemblages that South
Carolina has ever seen. It accom-
plished more work in five hours
than similar bodies generally per-
form in three days. It was a mod
el deliberative assemblage. Its
personelle was admirable. It's
smooth working was due largely
to the tact Of it's presiding officer,
Colonel Charles H. Simonton, Of
Charleston, who is, perhaps, the
ablest parlimentarian in the State.
Everything ran along smoothly,
and not one Incident happened to
mar the harmony Of the proceed
ings. There was 8 notable alb
sence Of speeches, and the entire
session was taken up with work.
The program had been clearly
mapped out by the executive com
mittee, and it only remained for
the Convention to ratify its re-
Communications. The following
were elected delegates at large to
the National Convention:
Wade Hampton, Of Columbia.
christopher Suber, Of Newber-
Leroy r. Youmans, of Column
bia. .....
F. w. Dawson, Of Charleston.
The following are the district
delegates:
First.-W. St. Julian Jervey, Of
Charleston, Jas. F. Izlar: of Or
angeburg.
Second.-J. w. Moore, ofHamp-
ton, and ID. S. Henderson, Of All
ken.
Third.-W. 4. McGee, of Ander-
son, and J. G. Cary, Of Oconee.
Fourth.-W. b. Stanly, Of COL
umbia, and j. B. Cleveland, Of
