e. A. Webster have got your slate fixed,

sion. 1t met Immediately after the
adjournment of the Convention.
Brayton's supporters are staggered
Dy their defeat. They attribute it TO
the free use of money by the Admins
tration Office holders.
george /. Cunningham, they assert,
corrupted the Convention and bought
up enough delegates to defeat Bravton.
Ihey have not abandoned hope, how
ever, and say that Brayton will have a
much larger vote for State chairman
than he received tonight.
The delegates have plenty of money
and are spending it freely. Tho busi-
ness of the saloons nearby the State
house indicates that there is Doodle
atlOat.
The committee on credentials sat I'D
all Thursday night hearing the con.
tents. and at a. NJ. when the Conven-
tion reassembled, had not reached its
conclusions. A committee was sent

Andrews, of Sumter, moved tor five
minutes rule, no member to speak
more than twice OH the same subject.
jenkins, of Berkeley. was not ready
for the question. "'rhe reason, Mr..
Chairman, for my non-readinrss is
this" He then opposed gag law.
Andrews declared that nothing but
gag law was known in Berkeley Coun-
ty. 1t was poor rule that didn't
work both ways.
prioleau, of Berkeley, jumped up and
shouted eXcitedly: "Stop that! Don't
insinuate on Berkeley. We had to do
that to keep down the money power"
| The irrepressible jenkins rose to a
question of personal privilege. He had
been particularly attacked by the
gentleman from Sumter, who belonged
to the ungodly ring which was trying
to rule politics in South Carolina. It

Dickinson suggested that too much
food was being given to the newSpa-

discussion.
Jenkins kept up his humorous re-
marks for some time. to the great
amusement of his faction, who whoop-
ed him up literally. Atlast an amend
ment by Jenkins, extending the limit
to ten minutes, adopted.
| Fred Nix rose to do something he
had never done before-make an apol-
ogy tor good behavior. He admitted
that he had got somewhat excited last
night from the manner things were
proceeding here and the rulings of the
Chair. He might make an apology to
the Convention, but not to the presid-
ing Oflicer-for he was responsible for
it. He recounted his efforts to obtain
recognition from the Chair and their
failure. The Chair saw and heard him,

| NIX made a rambling speech, touch
ing fragment'rily upon Il dozen sub
Jects, but rather obscurely. He had
said last night he was afraid he might
be forced to support Tillman. 1t was
very hard, for he was something of an
aristocrat himself. Cheers and laugh

men. When we got such in Office there
would not be so much oppression of ne
groes. He might be excluded from the
Republican party, but he wouldn't vote

Miller tried to interrupt him, and
Nix appealed to the Chair. If the
Chair had not the manhood to protect
him in his rights he (Nix) had the man
hood to protect himself. [Cheers.l He
alluded to his course at the Chicago
Convention. which seems to have been
privately criticised. He had voted for
Alger because he thought best. He
