candidate representing not the wishes and
vell-beng Of our people, but their own selfish
interest. We assert that Grover Cleveland does
not represent the principles OF democracy 0s
taught by our foretathers and as we under
stand them.
A. We therefore enter our protest against the
nomination Of Grover eveland or any other
candidate known or believed to be selected in
the interest and at the dictation of Wall street.
But We demand for our standard bearer a man
for the people and with the people who will
| serve the people and not any class or faction.
5. We shall look upon the nomination of ex-
President Cleveland If forced upon the party at
the Chicago convention as prostitution of the
principles Of democracy, as Reputation OF the
demands Of the farmers alliance, which embody
the true principles Of democracy, and surrender
of the rights OF the people to the financial kings
OF the country.
s. We believe we voice the sentiment of
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.
A minority report sdeprecating the at
tack on Mr.. Cleveland was submitted by
the platform committee and was showed
under.
A resolution denounoing the third party
was killed.

vention assembled. that it affords US great
pleasure as grateful people to return thanks
to our present state officers for the wise, faith
full, just aud economic manner in which they
have administered our state government.
2. That In their efforts to equalize taxation
whereby corporations shall bear proportion
ally with the farmers and laborng classes the
expenses Of government, we pledge them our
hearty cooperation.
g. That it has ever been the custom Of our
party TO reward good and faithful servants. In
this spirit We ask our present state officers to
again stand for reelection, and hereby pledge
them our earnest and hearty support.

Evans, a young leader of the alliance ele-
ment. Col. Haskell was called an ass in a
lions skin, and retorted by calling Mr..
