COLUMBIA. Sept. 21.-Gov Tilman and his
ticket have been nominated. and the State
Democratic Convention has adjourned with
but little OF the ment that was anticpa-
ted. The proceedings were cut and dried In
the Tillmanite caucus. The conservatives
stood no show whatever in the Convention.
and tho 25e followers OF Gov. Tillman simply
took the bit between their teeth and calloped
through.
During the morning there was q squab bble
among the Tillmanites in caucus as to
whether they should nominate D. A. Townsend
or W. C. Benet for Attorney-GeneraL The
caucus took a recess to allow tho Convention
to assemble. but. after being in tho Conven-
tion less than two hours. they took recess
and went back to the caucus.
This was repeated. and at 8 o'clock this af-
ternoon the Tillmanites decided they would
nominate Townsend. The Convention then re-
assembled. and Gov Tillman and tho present
State officers were rem ominnted.

platform.

tions on behalf Of tho conservative element

support the nominee OF tho Democratic party.
In accepting tho nomination Gov. TiIlmRu
made very conservative speech. over which
the Ti!lmanites went wild. He characterized
the feeling in the recent campaign as having
been malignant in its intensity.
Ono OF the most bitter and exciting issues OF
the campaign had been whether he should re-
turn home with the stigma Of being unworthy.
or whether he should receive the plaudits OF
the people. lle had nothing harsh to say
against the opposition.
He said that for those who fought hin, he
brotherly love and friendship. in the hope that
we may bridge the chasm il it may be done"
