before the recess hour, occurred on motion
OF Gen. McCrady TO appoint committee
on nomination.
Gen. McCrady said: believe this conven-
tlon Is called for the purpose OF making nom:
nations for Governor and state olhcerS ana
suppose that n committee 10 consist or one
purpose of suggesting n ticket to this conven'
ton. the members OF which shall be appoint
ed by the tifIeren, delegation.
Mr.. w. Fl. Parker, of AbberilIe:
II .ems TO me this body should first
decide if they will go in TO nominations before
Il committee for that purpose is selected.
Gen. McCrady: The call for this conven.
ton as have stated was for the purpose Oi
fornIiy with that cali What are we here for
ifnoL ior that purpose? tApplause) Shall
we go home having done nothing?
One OF The hits OF the evening was made by
Ex-senator Scarborough, of Sumier, who, IN
talking on the resolution, said he did not
think that the Convention was bound by the
call OF the thirteen. 1t would be undemocrat-
lc. 1t would be Irbyism 1t would be Iillman'
did not propose To put the nominations In the
hands of Il committee. for one am moi
through planting corn. but propose 1, 10 leave
my corn implanted rather than to see TlIlmaE
orTillmanism perpelrated. HeeXpressed thu
highest regard for Gen. McCrady.
Gen. McCrady, In explanation, said that the
Con ven tIon could object 10 the report of the
committee. BY his plan the proper officers
can be selected. They are 10 suggest good
ticket, and the Convention still has rs much
voice us 1t ever had. You viii! note that II Is
very remarkable thing that we are here with.
out a single cnndi didale: not a single person
here is seeking Office. Is II not better, mere
fore, to have 4 committee to suggest ticket,
and discuss how that can be arranged?
Col. Knox Livingstone: will vote against
the motion Of the gentleman from Charles

ought 10 be made upon The floor OF this con-
venlion. (AppIause) We have assembled
here for that purpose. and we want THIS 10 oe
n Democratic convention In act as well as In

present let him present 1t upon this floor and
let each man exercise the privilege and right
he has TO say whether he iavors that lndivid'
ual, and not have n few to so and concoct q
ticket. Let US have these nominations In this
Democratic convention In u Democratic man-
npr. (Applause)
Maj. E. b. Murray: I believe this conven-
tiun Is assembled for II higher purpose than
making 1oniinationS in the manner which or.
dinnry conventions nominate. am glad
there nre no candidates before this conven-
tion. {Applause) We here tonight hunt.

Interest Of The whole people Of South CAROL !
