PARTY LINES IN STATES.
SOUTH CAROLINA'S PRESENT OF
FICERS RENOMINATED.

The Proposition to Nominate State or
ficers In the Future by Primary
Election Causes a Lively Debate
The Nominees and Platform of the
Minnesota Republicans.
COLUMBIA, s. c., Sept. 6.-The demo-
cratic state convention met here at noon in
the capitol building. James l. Orr of
nan, ami the temporary organization was
subsequently, made permanent.
4 resolution was then offered looking to a
primary election for the nomination of
state officers in the future.
j. p r chardson and w l.. Mauldin, the
present incumbents, we're renominated for
governor and lieutenant governor.
A recess was then taken until o'clock
this evening.
When the committee reassembled the re-
manning incumbents of the state offices
were renominated.
THE PLATE
The platform iudorses President Cleve-
lands policy, calls for a reduction of the
tariff and repeal of the duties on cotton
baRging, ties and agricultural implements.
A resolution was adopted ratitying the
national Democratic nominations.
THE MAIN ISSUE.
A spirited debate occurred on an adverse
report of the committee on resolutions on
the proposition to nominate the state execu-
tive officers by a democratic primary. This
is an internecine struggle by the democrats
of what are known as the upper Tor white
counties, who wish to derive the full benefit
of their superior numbers in the party.
B. r. Tillman of Edgeheld, leader of the
farmers movement which has stirred up
the state for some time, led off in opposition
to the committees report and in favor of a
state primary, and delegates on both sides
of the question followed in vigorous and
earnest debate.

They Make a Boast of Their Record
on the Liquor Issue.
ST. PAUL, MINI, Sept. 6-This was the
second days session of the republican state
convention. The chief Justice of the
supreme court, James Gillian, and the
associate justice, L. w. Collins,
were renominated by reclamation. Three
candidates for governor were placed in nom
ination, Messrs. Schaffer. McGill and Mer-
riam. William r. Merriam was noni-
mated on the sixth ballot. The platform is
very long. 1t points with pride to the
party's record in adopting in its platform
and honestly carrying into execution the
most practicable and efPectual restraint
upon the liquor traffic which has yet been
devised; TO the reduction in the number of
saloons in the towns and cities and their
extinction in the country places and
smaller villages; to the better observance Of
the law and marked and general i'm prove
ment in the public morals, which has fol
lowed the adoption of the high license
principle, and pledges itself to its continued
maintenance and enforcement, and that no
backward steps shall be taken in the eff orts
to secure most effectual control of the liquor
traffic.
1t denounces the attempt of the Demo-
cratic party to coerce the Senate of the
United States into ratification of tho So
called fisheries treaty by covert threats of
injury to the growth and pros
perity of the northwest, through the
destruction of certain competing RAILWAYS.
1t condemns the policy Of the Democratic
party in failing to protect great American
Industry from the encroachnients of a rival
power, and its selfish and dishonest course
in refusing and delaying admission Of the
territory of Dakota in order to maintain
and perpetuate democratic control of the
government.
The platform also extends sympathy TO
the disfranchised republican voters in the
south.
