splendid triumph.

ed gentleman, and will administer the
duties Of his position with impartiali-
ty to al the people and with q pur-
pose Of promoting the good Of the
entire State.

Richardson, is the present State treas
urer, and his management of her f.
nances has been most satisfactory.
IS legislator ne has had consider
able experience and his record as g

Fairfield Neocs and Herald: The
nomination of Col. John Peter Rich
ardson is a triumph for the conserva-
tive clement IN our politics-for those
who are opposed to class conflicts
and class legislation-for those es-
pecially who opposed the combina-
ton which IS openly charged to have
been made.
Col. Richardson will fill the Office
with credit to himself, with honor to
the State, and with satisfaction to al
her people.
Georgetoom Enquirer: The name
of Richardson, who comes from race
of Governors, adds dignity and lus-
tre to the ticket. His administration
of the finances of the State during
the past four years has been marked
by fidelity, sagecity and ability: He
is a broad minded, liberal and pro-
gyessive citizen, a Jealous and consci-
entious official and a courteous and

Laau'ens -4dre,ttser: John Peter
Richardson is the choice OF the peo-
pie, and his nomination is singing
rebuke to those who would pretend
that the Democratic administration
since '76 has been a failure. Mr.

He represents the conservative ele-
ment Of the State, and yet those who
desire real reform can but rejoice in
this selection.
BaymueN Sentinel: The ticket chos-
en- by the State Convention, held in
Columbia last week, is capital one,
and we believe gives general satisfac-
ton throughout the State Its head,
Col John ?. Richardson, is a gentle
man who has long been prominently
connected with our Government az
fairs, and is shown by those who en-
Joy personal knowledge of him to
be e man about whom the entire
membership Of the party Will rally.
Poimetto Post: With the return Of
Democratic ascendancy in the State
since 1876, we have had the peerless
Hampton, the lofty Simpson, the in
exorable Hagood and the polished
Thompson. How fit a successor to
these will be the genial, humane or
nate Richardson. Like his predeces.
sors, Governor Richardson will be
restricted by no dictatory interference
with matters of public policy. Elec-
ted, as he will be, by the unanimous
voice OF the united and victorious
Democracy, with the unanimous en-
dorsement Of its representative body,
with no pledges but duty to fulfil,
and no animosities to rufie, he Will
enter upon the discharge of his high
and responsible duties as his pre-
decessors did-with an eye single
TO the welfare and prosperity CT
his native State which he loves 50
we'll.
