| South Carolina entitled to be Governor.
There was no precedent in South Caro-
| lima giving two terms to any man as
! Governor. In 1882 Kennedy and Brat
| ton canvassed the State, and Ihomp-
! son was nominated.
/ He had nothing to say against Rich
ardson, but there are many other good
men in the State Just as much entitled
/ to be Governor as Richardson. DIR.
/ Pope thereupon offered the following
rs a substitute for the resolution of Mr..
; Miller:
WHEREAS, There is diversity of
opinion as to who this county favors
for Governor; and
WHEREAS, 1t is proper that full
expression shall be given, coupled with
the vote of this convention, as to the
same-now be it
Resolved, That as each man is nomi-
mated for the position of delegate to the
State convention, he shall say whether
he IS for Hon. John P. Richardson for
! Governor, or against him.
Mr.. Miller moved to lay the substi-
tute on the table. DR.. Pope called the
ayes and nays, and on the call of the
roll the motion to table was lost by a
vote of 122 to "A.
The following is the vote:

Mr.. George Johnstone thought the
substitute was not explicit enough
He said we should know who we are
voting for. If we are against Richard
son let us know who we are for, and De
moved to amend the substitute so that
delegates when they are nominated
shall state who they favor for Governor,
and not simply whether they are for OF
against Richardson.
DIR. Pope thought the substitute as
plain as the monday sun. possibly 6
little too plain. He moved to table the
amendment.
Mr.. Johnstone thought that motion
unfair, as it cut off debate, and DR.
, Pope withdrew the motion to table.
MIR. George Johnstone then spoke tt
his amendment. He was not there tc
champion the cause Of any man fol
Governor, but he believed in fair play
i, and if the gentlemen were opposed tx
Richardson let them say who they
favored. If they are agreed on maj
he saw no objection to naming him
That was fair, he thought. DR.. Pope
renewed his motion to table the
, amendment, and the ayes and nay:
were again called, and the amendment
> was tabled by vote of 104 to 80.
, The motion was then on the adoption
: of the substitute of DR.. Pope.
: Mr.. w. H. Wallace then spoke
against the substitute. He though
> The whole thing harmful. Why single
: out J. P. Richardson? He has made {
: good Governor. He has met every re
Guirement and responsibility put upor
, him by his party. If we can't sent
, delegates to the State convention O
: good Judgment, and able to act fo1
themselves and the best interests of tht
party, why we had better not senc
> any. Mr.. Wallace then read tit
amendment TO the State Democratic
: Constitution adopted at the last Stat'
convention, which says candidates TO-
Governor and Lieutenant Governo
shall be expected to address the peopl'
and define their position on the issues
of the day.
DR.. S. Pope then spoke for his substi
tute, and Mr.. George Johnstone agalns
, it.
. Mr.. John w. Scott was opposed to J
P. Richardson's denomination. ~
:, thought J. G. ScheDpard was the
. favorite Of the eanti-Richardsod party.
Mr.. Geo. 3. Cromer thought tina
Democratic principles made it neees
sary and incumbent upon South Caro-
lima to nominate J. P. Richardson, ,wh'
: is a manly man. While the darl
horses were galloping around loose il
. the pasture j. P. Richardson was obey
ing the call of his party in making TIN
canvass of the State as mapped out b.
the State executive committee. Afte
Richardson has obeyed your call VIII.
do you want this convention to 81
down on him?
the question was called, and the sub
s stitute offered by DIR. Pope was adopted
!. The following delegates were then pu
in nomination: Sampson Pope, J. A
Sigh, J. R. Irwin, P. c. Smith, J: L
Wise, John w. Scott, J. G. Nee!
It. J. Hunter, w. A. Hill, r. c

Smith, Hill and Carlisle declined am

Of Mr.. J. S. Hair, were elected by &C
