being no opposition.
Two-THIRDs TILLMANITEs.
| DARLINGTON. - The Tilimanite
strength in the convention was sixty
seven as opposed to thirty-two ants.
The latter made gallant and steady,
though necessarily hopeless, resistance
to the large majority that confronted
them. All the officers and delegates
elected and all the action taken was in
! accordance with the cut and dried pro.
| gramme laid out at the Tillmanite
caucus which was held in the forenoon.
The convention was very noisy
one, and it was with considerable diff
Guilty at times that the presiding officer
was able to keep it under any sort Of
| control.
STATE PRIMARY DEMANDED.
SPARTANBURG.-C was a
stormy one. The Tillmanites, seeing
that the Conservatives were in the ma
| jority, entered several protests, and the
| committee on credentials reported
against seating the Spartan burg dele
CATION because they did not hold the
polls open two hours. This caused
considerable discussion, but when the
convention saw clearly into the matter
they seated the delegation with only a
! few dissenting votes.
G.. w. Nichols was elected chairman
by majority often votes. A Conserv-
ative delegation to the State Conven-
ton was elected by majority Of five
votes. A resolution instructing the
| delegates to support Hill in the State
Convention was lost. The delegates 60
uninstructed.
A resolution to nominate the Master
for this county by primary was carried;
also to elect all State officers from Gov
ernor down by primary was carried.
Spartanburg has never seen just such
a convention, but it is closed after six
hours session in tho interest Of union
and harmony and everybody seems to
be in good humor.
THIRD PARTY AFFAIR.

endorsed the Ocala demands. A resolu-
tion was adopted endorsing Tillman

was no discussion or division.
TWO DAYS WORK.

and Courier reports says that the con
vsntion would not be organized before

LEXINGToN.-The following dele
gates to the State Convention were
elected G. NJ. Eird, J. S. Shuler, J.
Fl. Counts, H. J. Seibeis, ". D. Seay,

as to Presidential candidates, though it
is believed that neither Cleveland nor
Hill is favored. The delegation is solid
for Tillman. No Straightout was al
lowed place on the executive con-
mittee, not even when recommended
by his club. DIR. D. NJ. Crosson was
elected county chairman. Resolutions
enclosing Tillman's administration and
DR.. J. w. Stokes for Congress were
