platform adopted at the Minneapolis
Convention.
That We most heartily endorse and
ratify the nominees of that convention,
Benz. Harrison and Whitelaw Reid,
and pledge to them our answering
fidelity and support, and We hereby
declare that with a ''free ballot and
fair COUNT the State of South Caro-
lima would be placed in the column OF
Republican States by majority OF
40, 900 votes,
| That the Democratic party Of South
Carolina, by its Infamous action in de-
feating the will OF the people b force
and fraud, deserves and must receive
the condemnation Of all just-minded
persons.
That the registration and election
laws of South Carolina, by means OF
which the Democratic party OF the
State is enabled to give the nominees
of that party the electoral vote of the
| State, deprive us of the benefits off re-
publican form of government as de-
| clared by the Constitution OF the Uni
| ted States, and call for the interposl-
ton of the National Government to
protect US in the rights and liberties
guaranteed to US by the fundamental
| laws of the land.
That we hail with satisfaction and
earnestly appreciate the words OF sym
pathy expressed in the platform OF the
Republican state convention. OF New
York for the suffering Republicans OF
the South, and call upon the Republi-
can States throughout the North to
take up the refrain and continue to
keep it prominently before the people
| of the country until sentiment so
strong be moulded that the iniquities
be made to cease and the nation be re-
ilieved of a standing reproach.
That It'll hedeclared intention of the
Republican party by steadfasay main
tanning the policy of protection to
| American labor, to elevate the masses
of the people and by wise extension
of the doctrine of reciprocity to enlarge
our markets for the products of our
farms and workshops.
That the meagre and inadequate
educational facilities afforded by the
State, is Just cause for serious and
anxious consideration, in view Of the
large percentage of illteracy within
| our borders, and the outlook for the
future of the youth who are to be
fitted and prepared for the grave and
responsible duties of citizenship. That
in liberal progressive education the
future veal and prosperity of the COM
| monwealth is assured, while criminal
neglect of a matter of such promise in
| it's Importance will assuredly tend to
| demora!ization and result in serious
consequences under the changed con-
ditions of society. - =
That we hereby tender our most sim
cere sympathy to President Harrison
because of the illness of Mrs. Harrison,
and we; hope for her. speedy restoration
to heaith. ~

Resolved, That in view Of the fact
that large majority of the Republi-
can voters of the State have been de-
priyed of their rights to vote by the
unjust operation of the registration and
election laws of the State, we deem il
iinadvisable and inexpedient: to make
nominations for State officers, but we
urge the Republican voters in every
part of the State to- support the Ma.
tional ticket.

convention adjourned without nomi'
mating a State ticket. .....
