Editor j. II. Moore of the Charleston
Sun, for the Reform delegation from
Charleston repudiatcd the denunciation
Of ClCvCland-the strongest Democrat
in the country. The man whose mis-
fortune was to be several years ahead
OF his party. His delegation repudiated

MIR. W.. &. Bcnet declared that the
resolutions did not uenounce Grover

mocracy III 1884 and committed party
and political suicide. Something has
arisen since 1881 that Cleveland does
not seem to realiZc-the uprising of
the people. If he could read the signs
OF the times he would see that he is
not the choice Cleveland ought to
think about the Alliance and the Far
merS' Movement. 1t was so much the
worse for the Democratic party if
Georgia had electe d Cleveland dele
gates. The reaSnn these resolutions
were adopted were to meet the danger
OF the Third larty--warning the Chi
cagO convention that if Cleveland was
elected there would be great danger of
a Third party in South Carolina. CA
voice: Never) If Mr. Cleveland should
be elected the men who framed these
resolutions and vote for them will vote
for him.
| The question then recurred on the
adoption of the minority report. which
was rejected by vote of 237 to 40.
AT this juncture Mr. Earnest Gary
moved that further consideration of
the report be suspended pending the
election of delegates to Chicago. Car
ried. Mr.. Jord0n nominated Tillman,
lrby, Stokes and Talbert.
Mr. &. w. Nichols took the floor and
began to nominate another ticket,
when some one moved that the nomi.
nations be closed
The chairman recognized this, des-
pite the fact that Mr.. Nichols was still
OH the floor endeaVoring to make nom.
nations. The motion was carried.
Col. Haskell protested that it was
not right to close the nominations
while delegate was on the floor speak
ing.
The Chair-The convention is TWEEN
| Jy one years old and can take care Of
itself. 1t IS responsible for what it
does.
Col. Haskell then entered a protest
against the arbitrary action of the Chair
in refusing to listen tOa nomination
offered by delegate.
Before Col. Haskell yielded the floor
| the Chairman replied that he appealed
to the convention and said the protest
was in their hands.
Col. laskell-The Chair can't stop
me. still have the floor and intend
to keep it. Iprotest against the flip
pant answer Of the Chairman to a
member Of the convention, whose ser.
want he is.
BY this time the excitement had
grown great. Col. Haskell was in the
aisle, near the speakers stand, and a
lightning-like colloquy was going Oh
between HIM and the Chair, meanwhile
the different sympathiZCrs crowded
around and yelled for their respective
sides. Col. Talbert lammed his gavel
and shouted to the convention that he
appealed to them. Col. Haskell held
the floor and said that forty Chairmen
could not override him. Some one
shouted, "PuL him down." and Col.
Haskell told him he couldn't do it.
"The Chair" said he, ain violation of
law, order and justice, has cut off NOM
nations"
The Chair~.I deny it, have done no
such thing.
Col: IIaSkell-I again respectfully
submit.
The Chair--Tho delegate will take
his seat.
Col. IIaskell--I have the floor. |
have been trying TO submit parlia-
mcntary notion and have never lost
the floor. will make the motion if |
have TO stay here AL night
The Chair-Well, make it.
Col. IIaSkell--I desire to submit a
protest against nominations being cut
OIL while the man making them was
on the floor.
The ChaiT-A motion was made to
close the nominations and put the
question.
Col. Iaskell-Ion cut Nichols off.
The Chairman--The gentleman mis-
understood me-
Col. Haskell Well, then, you made a
mistake that ought TO be repaired.
Col. Tai bert attempted to sustain
himself by the convention. Mr.. BGnet
said he had no doubt the chairman
would be sustained. If mistake had
been made it was the Convention s
fault and he moved that the motion to
close the nominations be recOnSidered.
This was carried.
Mr.. Nichols then nominated the fol-
lowing persons for delegates at large
John w. WonOrd, +. w. Wagener, w.
&. McGoWan, ID. s. Henderson.
The Chairman-Are you ready for
the question? Is Richland ready? Are
Charleston and Spartanburg ready

Col. llaskcll-Itlchland SpartanDurg
and Charleston can attend to their own
business without any improper sug-
EeStion3 from the Chair.
