was as follows:
THE PLATFORM.
That the Democrats of Scnth Caro-
lima in convention assembled, and rep
as do the voice and sentiment
of the people of our State, declare
First, That we are true and loyal
Democrats and endorse and will sup
port the principles as emunciated by
Thomas Jefferson and reiterated by
such statesmen as John G. Calhoun
and Andrew Jackson, and Oh these
principles we plant ourselves and will
remain.
Second. Wb;:.e we earnestly favor and
demand a reduction in the onerous
tariff duties and that the burden of
such taxation be fixed upon the lux
uries and not the necessities Of life,
and then only a sufficient revenue be
levied for the maintenonce of our Gov
ernment economically administered,
we hold that matter of equal and
Importance for the relief
and prosperity of our people is an in
crease of our currency, and that our
Government issue its money direct to
the people at low rate of interest and
upon such solvent security as they can
furnish.
Third. We see with displeasure and
that the money changers
of Wall Street have invaded the sacred
ten- e of the Democracy and that they
will y and force upon our party can
dida representing not the wishes and
we'll. ing of our people, but their own
selfsl" interest. We assert that Gro
yer Cleveland does not represent the
principles of Democracy as taught by
our forefathers and as we understand
them.
Fourth. We therefore enter our SOL
emn protest against the nomination of
Grover Cleveland or any other candi-
date known or believed to be selected
in the interest of and at the dictation
Of Wall street but We demand as our
5tandard-5earer man for the people
and with the people, and who will
serve the people and not any class or
faction.
Fifth. We shall look upon the NOM
natiou Of EX-President Cleveland if
forced upon the party at the Chicago
Convention as a prostitution of the
of Democracy, as repudia-
ion Of the demands OF the Farmers
Alliance, which embody the true prin-
,iples of Democracy, and a surrender
If the rights of the people to the finan-
,ial kings of the colntry.
Sixth. We believe we voice the sem
,iment of the large majority of the
white voters of South Carolina when
We assert that the nomination of any
Wall street candidate would create dis
satisfaction in the State Democracy.
y TEST FOR THE ALLIANCE.
The committee then submitted the
ollowing resolution introduced by
Delegate Gonzales:
Resolvcd, That we pledge the De-
Of South Carolina to abide by
md actively support the nomination
If the National Democratic party at
be Chicago Convention, and the
platform upon which such nominations
hall be made.
The committee ncxt reported the fol-
owing resolutions favorsbly:
PROPOSED RENoMINATIoN FOR TILL
NAN.
Resolred, by the Democratic party in
assembled, That it affords
Is great pleasure as a grateful people to
eturn thanks to our present State Off
ers for the wise, faithful, just and eco
lomic manner in which they have ad-
our State Government.
2. That in their efforts to equalize
a1atlon, whereby the corporations
hall bear proportionate]y with the
armers and laboring classes expenses
+ the government, we pledge them our
hearty cooperation.

resent State officers to again stand for
e-election and hereby pledge them our
