here to-day. The principal business was
the adoption of a c!ear-cut address to tho
Democracy Of the State. There can be no
mistaking the position Of the Conserva
tiyes. The address is as follows:
COLUMBIA, s. c., June %, 1892
Fellow-Democrats of South Carolina
The wires have Just announced the nomi-
nation of Grover Cleveland for the Pres
idency of the United States by the Ma
tionai Democratic Convention at Chicago.
The Conservative Democracy OF the State
accepts this announcement with joy, and
will work for the success of the ticket
against secret foes within the party, as
well as outspoken opponents. we felt
that the Democracy of South Carolina, the
rank and file of the party, had been plac-
ed in false position by the recent Con-
yention in Columbia, dominated by Ben
iemin r, Tillman and his satellites, when
it denounced Grover Cleveland as un-
worthy of Democratic confidence; but the
grand council Of the Democracy Of the
Union has given back the answer to the
slanderous charge by endorsing Grover
Cleveland for the highest Office in the gift
of his countrymen. Let lis then insoribe
upon our banners: Cleveland and Steven
son, Sheppard and Orr; Democracy and
victory.
The campaign has opened for State OFF,
ces. The State Democratic Committee
has appointed the County meetings, at
which candidates for State offices, and
none others, are allowed to speak. In Au-
gust next, at primary election, you will
vote for delegates in your respective
Counties, who will attend State Nomi-
mating Convention in September, and the
September Convention will nominate the
Democratic candidates for Governor,
Lieutenant Governor, and the rest of the
State ticket. Finally, in November next,
at the general election, you are to support,
with your united votes, the candidates
nominated by the September Convention
against such candidates as may be nomi-
mated by your old antagonist, the Repub-
lican party, or by the Third Party, COM
monty called the Peoples Party, or by
both.
Since the redemption Of South Carolina
In 1876, under the glorious leadership OF
Wade Hampton, who bore the banner OF
the Democracy to victory over the vile
crew of Radical spoilsmen who had dis
graced and well-nigh ruined our beloved
State, our elections have been decided by
the action of the Democratic party in its
nominating Conventions, because The
white people Of South Carolina, remem-
bering the period Of Republican misrule,
determined that there should be no repe-
tition of its disgraceful history, and with
ont distinction Of GLASS Or occupation sup
ported at the polls true and tried Demo,
Gratis to be their public servants in the va
rious Offices of the State Government,
And although most of the time the Repub-
lican party had the Presidency Of the Fed
off Yf fn
its foothold in our State and ,-roughout
the South By trying to pass odious elso-
ton laws and force bills, these attempts
of our enemies have been prevented by
the Democrats Of Congress, who have al
ways rallied to our assistance in every
emergency, and have defeated these dire
designs UPON our prosperity and peace.
During four years of the period alluded
to Grover Cleveland, the most illustrious
Democrat in our party, was President,
and under his patriotic administration OF
