SOUTH CAROLINA DEMOCRATS.
President Cleveland Indorsed by
the Convention.

the Convention.
COLUMBIA, Aug. 5.-The Democratic
State Convention to-day nominated j. IL.
Rice, of Abbeville, for Superintendent of
Education; Isaac S. Bamberg, of Barn
well, for Treasurer; Joseph II. Earle, of
Sumter, for Attorney General; A. NJ. Ma
nlgault, Of Charleston, for Adjutant Cen
eral, and w. +. Stoney, OF Berkeley, for
Comptroller. The ticket includes three
OF the present officials, Mr.. Richardson,
State Treasurer, getting the nomination
for Governor, and the nominees for
Comptroller and Adjutant General being
lncumbents. The committee on platform
omitted civil service plank, but the con-
vention by large majority restored IL,
reiterating their confidence in civil service
reform. The convention then adjourned
sine die.
SOUTH CAROLINA'S NEXT GOVERNOR.
The nominee for Governor of South Car
DINA, Col. John Peter Richardson, is the
present State Treasurer. He has an ex-
cellent record, both as a civilian and
soldier. He is a thick-set, genial man,
about 80 years of age, and has had great
deal OF experience as legislator. He IS
the fifth member of his family who has
been Governor of the State. His father
was Governor in 1910. He Is practical,
progressive farmer.
THE PLATFORM.
The platform renews allegiance and de-
votion to the principles of the party, and
enunciates the following principles and
policy In State and Federal affairs:
/. Wise and just legislation and impair
tiaI administration OF equal law.
9. Popular education is the bulwark Of
tree institutions, and favOrs liberality in
the support of schools for the whole peo-
pie.
3. The present protective tariff taxes
the many for the benefit of the favored
few. Duties on imports should be de-
creased. Early repeal of the duty on cot
ton ties, on machinery used in the manu-
facture of cotton and wool, and on tools
and agricultural implements, will stimu-
late manufactures and be a measure of
relief to the farmers.
A. The public credit, national and State,
must be maintained.
The fifth asserts that Democratic
rule in the State signifies public safety
and private security.
The sixth uphOlds justice and equality
for all to insure harmony between the
races, declares against sectionalism in
policy or feeling in national matters, and
maintains the indissolubility of the Union
one flag, one country, one destiny.
The seventh declares for civil service
reform, for appointments to minor offices
under tests that will indicate the quail
locations of applicants, promotion by
merit, fixed tenure of office, and no re-
moVal except for cause.

TED TO IMPRISONMENT.

a Brief Resume of the Incidents which
Led to the Sensational Exposures and
Trials-Hon Charles Dougherty NOmi-

trict ConventioD-Duval Entirely Ex-
cluded
JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Aug. 5.-lnfor-
mation comes that the State Pardoning
Board at Tallahassee has committed the
sentence Of A. B. Bidwell, one of the con-
y1cted Sara Sofa murderers, from death to
imprisonment in States prison for life.
Bidwell, it will be remembered, was one
VI the notorious gang OF Sara Sofa thugs
bf Manatee county, an oath-bound secret
organization known as the sara sofa
Vigilance Committee, which terroriZed
Ebe neighborhood of Sara Sofa Bay during
the years 18S4-65. The members of this
terrible organization were bound by oath
90 stand by each other and obey ali orders,
even to the taking of life. Two murders,
those of Harrison T. Riley and Postmaster
kAbbe, were traced TO the doors OF this
gang. The people of Manatee county
rose against them. Nearly the whole
party was Jailed, and at their trial last
July five or six OF them were convicted OF
murder in the first degree.
OF those convicted were Willard, An
herson, Cato and Deymon, the last two
named of whom were used as witnesses
for the State, and upon conviction, along
with Willard and Anderson, were recon-
mended TO the mercy of the court and
sentenced to Imprisonment for life.
Leonard f. Andrews, Edward p. Bacon
aud Alfred b. Bldwell were at the same
time convicted of the murder of Harrison
RnpOn H.
drews and Bidwell as accessories
before the fact, and sentenced to be hung.
An appeal was taken to the supreme
Court of the State in the cases of the last
Fhree, the verdict of the lower court be-
ing confirmed some two months ago.
Pending an appeal to the pardoning
board, Andrews, Bacon and Bidwell were
confined In the Jail at Pine Level. On the
might OF June % Andrews and Bacon
overpowered the ailer, made their
escape and are still at large. Bid we'll
w ould not escape. but remained in Jail,
awaiting the action of the Pardoning
Board or the day of execution. Bidwell
IL former resident OF Buffalo, \. Y;
now an old man 81 years Of age, and dur
ing his trial and since has produced let
tiers from prominent citizens of that city
,festifying to his excellent character and
reputation while resident there.
Among these letters was one
from President Cleveland. 1t was
not denied at the time that
Bidwell was a member Of the Sara Sofa
Vigilance Committee, but his active
participation in the murders was not
blearly proved in the opinion of many. In
fact there are many OF the opinion that
Bid we'll is an innocent man. This action
nj the Pardoning Board, under the cir
cumstances, will meet with the approba-
ton of those who have Kept up with the
history of this cause celebre.

No Troops ordered to Fort 3,iss.

WAsHINeToN, July 26.-In the House. to day,
Mr. King, of Louisiana, offered a resolution
which was referred to the committee on foreign
affairs, requesting the President to communicate
to the House information concerning the alleged
illegal detention of A K Cutting, an American
citizen, by the Mexican authorities at Paeo del
Norte, and also whether an additional force of
United States soldiers has been ordered to Fort
Bliss. 1t is stated at the War Department that
no United States troops have been ordered to
Fort Bliss in anticipation of trouble at Paso del
Norte arising from the reported refusal of the
Mexican authorities to release editor Cutting. 1t
is stated, further that the concentration of Next
can troops at that place does not of itself signify
probable rupture of the present peaceful rela-
strategic military movement against revolution
AIRY parties in Mexico.

this region this morning did damage to the
amount of $350,OG0. The storm was the most
severe known for many years. From almost
every town along the river reports are coming of
great damage. Houses were flooded and struck
by lightning, and trees and fences washed away.
Almost every railroad entering the city suffered
from landslides Entire fields of wheat and
corn have been destroyed, and at one point near
Evans City a strip of woodland seventy-five
yards wide by three-fourths of mile long was
1eveled by tornado. At Pine creek. along
Butchers run. and in the Sewickley valley, the
water flooded the houses and many families were
forced TO flee to escape drowning. A number of
persons were injured and killed by lightning,
including Porter Purveance at Leechburg.

Mississippi "Regulators. {"

New ORLEANS, July 26.-The outrages per-
petrated upon negroes in Newton county, Mis-
sssippi, by a band of regulators" prove more
serious than at first reported. The difficulty
arose from a negro entering government land
which was claimed by white man. The mat
ter was tried in the courts and resulted in a
victory for the negro The regulators took
up the quarrel, and in the difficulties that en-
sued four colored men, Manuel Thames, Simon
Thames Abraham Dale and L. Williams were
killed. These outrages had such effect upon the
negroes that hundreds of them left the county
and they are still leaving it as fast as they can
get away Many crops have been abandoned in
consequence of the fight of the hands, and it is
impossible to get any laborers to take their
places. The best citizens of the county are op-
posed to these outrages, but the band OF "regu-
latorsa have go terrorized everybody that it is
feared it will be impossible to secure evidence to
convict them in the trial which comes I'D before
the District Court Monday.
