Senator Verdier's name was pre-
sented from the 7th district, but was
subsequently withdrawn "by request %
"Boss" T. w. Stanlard had not been
heard from up to this time, ana aftss
preparing himself for the attack on the
chair moved that the rules OF the
House of Representatives. 80 far,a ,as.ap.
plicable, be the rules Of the convention
during its session. Everyone seemed
to be perfectly satisfied with this sppa-
rently innocent motion and it was
unanimously adopted.
Mr.. McCslla wanted the convention
to get down to genuine work and, real
izing the matter Of platforms would be
the real nut the convention wonld
have to crack, moved that q COMMITTEES
on platform and resolutions be ap-
pointed to consider all papers without
their being read in convention. Each
delegation suggested its member OF the
committee which was named as fol-
lows:

When Chairman Pope called for res
olutions the expected flood Of manu-
script and political eRasion was not
forthcoming. II was indeed great
surprise when only two sets OF resolu-
tions were introduced, one from each
faction, in the convention. r# 8
THE RESOLUTIONS THAT WERE NOT
ADOPTED.
Gen. Edward McC Grady, as the repre-
sentative Of the Conservatives, handed
up the following remarkably strong
paper: ,g -.
Resolved by the convention Of the
Democratic party OF South Carolina,
now assembled, Thas We; adopt the
platform Of principles announced by
the National Democratic party recent
ly assembled at ChieaRo, and pledge
ourselves TO 8 full and hearty eo-operae
ton in securing the election Of its dis
tinguished nominees, Grover Clsve.
land, Of New York, and Adlai Steven
son, Of Illinois.
This resolution Ia in strict sceofdance
With the uniform practice es the con-
vention of the Democratic party in
this State, and is, indeed, IN the exact
and same words 40 that adopted by
the Democratic convention on the l0th
of August, 1915, whereby the conven-
ton Of that year pledged the support
of the party In this State tS sae plat

Convention which nominated Samuel
J. Tilden for the Presidency and
Thomas A. Hendricks for the Vice
Presidency. In the next Presidential
election, that Of 1880, the convention
of the Democratic party in the State,
which met on the Cd OF June to choose
delegates to the National G Convention,

electors as we'll as nominate State off,
GERS, and thus to avoid the necessity Of
another convention that year. And az
the National Convention hsd not YET
met and announced its platform, oul
convention adopted in sdvanee the
following resolution pledgins the party
in the State generally TO ths principles
of the National Democratic party:
: 'The Democratic party Of the State
of South Carolins, in convention as
sembled, reiterates its adhesion to the
doctrine Of the great National Demo
cratic party and renews the declaration
of principles laid down in it's platform
cf 1876 and 1875" .-.
In 1894 the same policy Of transact
ing all the business Of the party at one
convention, that called to choose dele
gates to the Nstional Convention, was
pursued. But the convention of thai
year was careful again to announce It's
adherence to these principles og the
National party, to renew its pledge te
their maintenance and to promise il
advance to support the nominees O,
