affairs Of the State, no safer man
could have been chosen. =
In him our people will find a states.
man with no prcjudiccs rs to class,
and an executive officer consumed
with the desire to discharge his whole
duty in accordance with the dictates
Of lofty manhood and the best in.
tercsts Of his beloved Carolina moth.
or. His nomination is Il happy cs.
cape from an unwisc effort TO pandrr
to class prejudice and to excite Gle.
mcnts of dscord among the most
conservative and patriotic Of the cit.
izcns Of our dear old State. His
nomination is the triumph Of that
fratcrnal and conservative patriotism
which knows no class, but which re.
cognizes an indissolublc bond of
union between all citizens Of every
occupation and every section Of this
grand old State. Let us accept this
verdict rendered by the discreet rep
rcscntativcs Of the Caucasian man
hood Of our State, as the true inter
probation Of our duty to each other.
and devote our best energies to the
material and moral development Of

The work Of the Democratic State
Convention has given entire sati8fac.
tion in these parts. The ticket is Il
good one, and the people here are
rejoicing at the overthrow Of the
"unholy alliance.
The action Of the convention has
demonstrated some very pleasing
truthcs. 1t has shown that in South
Carolina, the people are supreme re-
gardlcss Of farmers movements and
newspaper alliances.
1t has shown that our representa-
tive men have the conviction Of their
opinions, and the manhood to express
and maintain them.
II has shown that the rarmcrs-tuc
bone and sincw Of our land--arc not
the plant tools in the hands of .icm.
agOgucs, some are disposed to .hink
they are. II has been shown that
bossism, whether exercised by an an.
ricnltural Moses, o: city editor. ~
both combined, Will rot ba tolerated
in our State politics.
1t has shown IN unshaNcn faith in
the Democratic administration since
1876, and by its actions cxoncratcd
our officers from the vile calumnics
that have been hcapcd upon them.
1t has shown q spirit of fairness in
showing under the "Grccnvillc ideas" ,"
and giving our citizens in the Black
Districts fair vote in our cOnvcn-
tions.
1t has shown too it's willingness to
trust the people in the administration
Of tho government, by giving them
the option Of clecting their Congress
sional and judicial representatives by
primary election, if they So desire.

The work Of the recent Democratic
Convention is very generally com
mended and approved. The ticket is
undoubtedly Il strong one, and will
receive the undivided support Of the
untcrriGcd Democracy. The defeat
OF Colonel Miles for Attorney Gem
eral Was q great surprise, and looks
very much like in3ratitudc in tho
party. lie has been one Of the most
successful Attorney Generals thc
State has ever had, has conducted
some OF the most important cases,
and by his ability saved the State
rom a loss Of several million dollars.
~ re election was due him, and his
defeat is mortirying to his numerous
friends.
ComDlnations were tho order of the
day. IN TACT, there were altogether
too many OF them for tie good Of the
party. The supposed Gr not actuaN
existence OF one combinations caused
the formation Of a more powerful one
IN opposition, amt Resulted in the
