yention Of the Democratic party, which
assembled in Columbia on August IS,
instant, withdrew from the convention
and have published an address to the

say they withdrew because the conven.
ton proceeded to amend tho constitution

to do 80. The convention was called to
consider alone the question Of primary
or no primary for the selection Of dele.
gates to tho September convention. The
Withdrawal OF those delegates, unfortu-
nate though it may be, is not q bolt from
tho party. 1t is to be regarded rs q pro-

Political Reflections.

We give our readers this week a full
account Of tho proceedings Of the State
convention. 1t 10 worthy Of tho close
study and careful consideration Of all
Democrats.
1t is sadly true, thatit might, yea, that
1t should have boon, D great deal better;
but it Is equally truo, it might have been
q good deal worse. There was oxtreme
action on both sides, and the conduct of
some Of tho mombers at times was dis
graceful. Tho hllibustoring methods
adopted by tho Anti-Tillman faction to
impede and obstruct tho proper and
necessary organization Of the convention
was an unfortunate blunder, and
amounted to q challenge to tho large
majority That it should submit. to tho
dictation of the minority in the selec-
ton of q temporary chairman. The
bitter tight YER this mattor unduly oxas-
porated both factions, the natural consc-
quenco of which was extreme and doubt
full action by tho majority in certain
other respects.
Legally there was n serious question
whether this convention had tho right to
elect n now Executive Committee, and
mako q new party constitution, boing
called rs it was, to determine tho solo
and simple question of primary or no
primary for olcoting delegates to the
September Convention. AS q loyal pro-
position, much is to DO said on both
sides.
But tho fact is, these things were dono,
II tho convention being u legal body
which represented tho Democracy of
South Carolina, ovory Democrat in tho
State is bound by its action. There ia
and can DO no alternative. We must
either abide by it's decision and stronu-
ously labor to carry out its bohcsts, or
give aid and comfort to tho Radicals,
which course would DO suicidal,

The Texas Democrats Teach Pure
Democratic Doctrine.

Tho Democratic State Convention of
Texas convened in tho city of San Anto-
mia, 18th instant, for tho nomination OF
State officers. James S. Hogg was nomi-
mated for Governor without opposition,
A strong platform was adopted, some
planks of which arc worthy of study by
South Carolina Democrats, especially
when it is considered that large pro-
portion Of the convention was composed
of farmers and ardent Alliancemen,
whose ideas dominated in all that was
done. We cite tho second, third and
fifth paragraphs of their platform as of
than passing interest TO South Caro-
lima Democrats at tho present crisis;
Second. That tho Government of the
United States has only tho powers ex-

hnlieve taat .iio Voipotuiiy VI the Union

Of tho Federal Government In all depart
mcnts to tho legitimate and economical
exercise of the powers so expressly con-
fcrred upon 1t.
Third. That on this principle we oppose

for revenue only. We oppose the collcc-
ton and distribution by tho Federal Gov

election law recently passed by tho Re.

the Federal judiciary upon the power OF
the States.
Fifth. That we arc opposed to tho con.
tinuance of the national bank system,
and demand tho abolishment thereof as
500 rs by law tho same can DO done.
We demand the passage of laws prevent
ing tho creation of trusts and providing
for the dissolution OF those now In exist
