Gen. McCra5y, in explanation, said

how that can De arranged:
Mr.. Kirby s. TuppeC, OF Charleston,
said there was only one feeling in the
Convention for which all delegates had
had sacrificed their time, 1t being the
best plan to defea; The present Admin

he felt bound 70 oppose the McCrady
resolution. It would De mnwiSe 70 make
the nominations by commi;tec.
Mr.. Scarborough. Of Sumter, said he
did not want to he misunderstood. 70:
he wanted nominations from Governor
down.
Mayor Bryan, Of Charleston, said
that under ordinary circumstances he
would oppose such plan, hn; that the
delegates were present to wrcst the
State from the present Administration.
which had arrayed class against class.
and what We want is not John Smith,
but the best men nominated, and to
elect them. He did not want any log
rolling, and thought that a committee
from each county could best subscrve
the purposes Of the Convention. The
TWO questions to be considered are. who
are the best men ar, whether they can
carry the election.
Mr.. Rodgers. Of Benncttsville. said;
We are all here for Il common purpose.
Our first utterance was 10 demand
3 primary. He wanted Democracy
pure and simple. Caucussing should hc
avoided as much a, possible. What we
want to do is to unite the Democratic
party. He thought the committee idea
savored too much Of lrbyism.
Mr.. J. VI. Hudgen's chairman OF the
| Iaurens delegation. remarked that il
was necessity to have the sympathy
| Of the farmers with the movement and
to obtain such aid, caution and couSCr-
| vatism would bc requisite AZ to whom
the Convention named. Certain men
would rather vote again for Tillman
than for any ill-choscn nominees Of the
Convention. He incidentally remarked
that he did not use free pass and had
to pay his board BILL He thought the
matter could best be submitted to such
q committee.
Mr.. d. S. Henderson, OF Aiken
agreed with Mr.. Hudgens and other
speakers. He suggested the report from

Gen. +. w. Noise, the patriot o.

in ringing words he said: II is iigl
time that we do something, and villa!
we want moro is soldiers who will fol-
low the leaders in this battle OF peace.
