THAT CONFERENCE.
Captain +. w. Dawson and Il. X. Tillman
Meet in Augusta.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Aug. 5.-Thc
correspondent OF the Augusta Chronicle
in writing about the State Convention
says: One night in June last Capt. F.
w. Dawson, of Charleston, and Capt.
B. r. Tillman, of Edgefeld, met at the
Globe Hotel in Augusta and held long
conference. Their presence was known
in Augusta 1.-THE time. 1t was soon
noised in Carolina that the meeting had
taken place and the fact was mentioned
a hundred times in this convention.
BoIl gentlemen have repudiated any
idea ola combination. Captain Tlllman
declares that he is only seeking agricul-
tural reforms andls not responsible for
the political movement. Captain Daw-
son says that he is supporting the Till
man reforms only so far as they affect
the farmers. What they talked about
on that clear, calm night. no one knows,
but the rumOrs growing out Of the con-
ference have shaped this convention and
changed the personnel of the State ticket
entirely. The meeting Of the highlands
and low lands was not rclshcd by the
clans, and the rumorcd combination
has been laid very low. AS for Gov.
Sheppard, he is 4 young man with 4 fine
practice at law. lie has long future
and q bright one. He was thrust into
the canvass by forces which he did not
control. EdgcGcld has made Il gallant
fight and the Chronicle regrets the over
throw. The Tillman element has not
played a leading part. Their caucus
decided to support no candidate as a
body, leaving the farmer delegates to
sustain their individual preferences.
Tillman made 4 gallant fight for his
distinguished county man, but falling Ill
this, he did not attempt to dictate L
choice Of candidates. Richardson and
most Of the nominees have not been III
sympathy with the Tillman movement
us many of the State politicians under
stood it, but the farmers agitation is
not without its good effects. although 1t
has been too violent and extreme III
some of its features to command support
from the State at large. Many OF the
planks of the Tillmm platform are
sound and strong, and as fur as 1t looks
for the better education an, cnlightcn-
ment of farmers. it will be helpful. not

Death of Mr.. TildeH..

Hon. Saml. j. Tilden died at his
country residence in New York after a
short illness last Wednesday week. He
was one of the most illustrious men;of
his day, and was elected President OF
the United States in 1876, but was
cheated out Of it by the to I commits
sion, and Hayes counted in. Great
honor was paid the memory of Mr.. Til
den all over the country, and his name
will occupy Il conspicuous place in
American history.

Trouble with Mexico.

Recent events seem to Indicate that

er war with our sister Republic Of Mex
leo i'll consequence Of the arrest on
United States soil, trial and punishment
Of Editor Cutting for committing a crime
in his own country and the killing OF
one Asscsurcs by Mexican officials,
both of whom arc accredited citizensgof
the United States. We are willing to
leave the matter in tic hands Of Sccrc-
tary Bayard, who is both manly and
wise and sufficiently jealous of the honor
OF his country to sec that she suffers nc
indignity at the hands Of another govern
ment. 1t does not matter whether Mr.
Cutting is an adventurer or Mr.. Asses

of this country and wrongcd, they should
be protected by their government, an(

The State Convention.

The work of the Democratic State
Convention will commend itself to the
Democracy of the State. The candi-
dates put in the field are in every way
worthy of the honor conferred upon
them and will he triumphantly elected
by the people. rs will be noticed, the
Convention has given lis almost new
deal, only two of the old State officers
being renominated for the positions
they now hold. 1t is true, Col. Richard
son is one OF the present officers, but
we believe that he owes his nomlna-
tion to the fact that he was opposed
by the present Governor, who was
seeking Il denomination, and, this be-
ing the case. he can. also be claSScd as Il
new deal man. Altogether the ticket
is most admirable one. and will he
enthusiastically endorsed all over the
State. The Convention, which was truly
representative body, was very con-
servative in all of its actions, and re-
fused by very decisive votes to make
any radical changes in the laws govern
ing the party. The attempt on the
part of some of the up-country dele
gates to rob the low country Of its fair
representation in the councils of the
party met with the defeat it so richly
deserved. We hope this will be the
last attempt Of the up-country to
throttle the low country. Such a thing
can never he brought about, from the
fact that men love justice too much to
permit such an outrage to be perpetra-
ted on this section Of the State, and for
this reason, if no other, this attempt
at political rape should he abandoned
by our Greenville friends, who seem to
be the leaders in the movement. The
Convention, by voting this measure
down decisively, put its seal of con-
demnation upon the sectional howl
that has been coming down from some
parts Of the up-country for Il long
time, and we hope it will he the means
of stopping this ceaselcss onslaught on
this section of the State. All we ask
is our just rights, and we are certain
that we will take nothing less.

A Full vindication of DIR. Neynardic.

When the rumors concerning DR..
Mcynardie were atloat in the COM
munity, the Dispatch could not, in the
face of his recognised piety and learn
ing, give them countcnance. That the
position Of this paper was the correct
one has been proven by the recent rigid.
and yet calm investigation made at the
instance of The church by eminent min
listers connected Herewith. These
ministers were the Rev. D. y. Darby,
D. D., Rev. Thos. &. Herbert, Rev. j.
Marion Boyd, and Rev. S. B. Jones,
d. d., all Presiding Elders. They met
at Trinity Church Parsonage, in this
city, under appointment Of of Bishop
John G. Kccncn, and called every wit
ness who could possibly throw light on
the case. What has been the result !:
Exactly what conservative sentiment
believed would be, and that is, that DR..
Meynadic'S character has upon it no
stain Of immortality; that whatever ncr-
vines and opiatcs he uses arc necessary
to his health. and arc taken medic nally,
under the direction of skilled physician.
This result is exceedingly gratifying to
the community in which DR.. Meynardic
has laborcd so faithfully and Zcalously
for q cause which his entire life has
illuminated.-Charlcston Dispatch.
