SOUTH CAROLlNA'S REP BLICAhS.
A Full Set of Electors Nominated-The
Conventions Platform.
COLUMBIA, S. c., Sept. SN.-The repub-
Iican state convention adjourned at 5
O'Clock a. m. after much frivolous discus
sion over small matters. A full set Of elect
ors was nominated
The folio wing is the platform adopted:
THE PLATFORM.
We the union Republican party of South
Carolina. in convention assembled, do hereby
reaffirm our allegiance TO the principles OF the
national IN on Republican party as set forth in
the platform adopted at the Minneapolis con-
vention; that we most heartily indorse and
ratify the nominees of that convention, Benja-
min Harrison and Whiteaw Reid, and pledge to
them our answering fidelity and support; and
we hereby declare that with a free
s DaSt of and South c fa6 Would be
placed in the column Of republican states by a
majority OF 40 600 votes; that the Democratic
party Of South Carolina, by its infamous action
In defeating the will OF the people by force and
fraud, deserves and must receive the colde u
nation of all just-minded persons; that the reg
istration and election laws of South Carolina,
by means of which the Democrat C party OF the
state Is enabled to give to the nom nees or that
party the electoral vote of the state, deprive us
of the benehts of a republican form OF govern
Tnent as declared by the constitution OF the
United States and call for the interposit on or
the national government to protect us in the
rights and liberties guaranteed to us by the
fundamental laws of the land.
TIE NATIONAL PLATFORM ENDORSED.
We hail with satisfaction and earnestly ap-
preciate the words of sympathy expressed in
the platform of the republican state convGnVlon
OF New York for the suffering republicans or
the south, and call upon the republican states
throughout the north to take up the refrain and
continue to keep it prominently before the pen-
pie of the country until sentiment SO strong be
lod elat arior will m Oaa ca
and the nation be relieved of the standing re-
proacn; that it is the declared intention Of the
Republican party, by steadfastly maintaining
the policy of protection to Amer
lean 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
meager and inadequate educational facilities
offered by the state is just cause for serious
and anxious cons Iteration, in view of the large
percentage OF illiteracy within our borders, and
the outlook for the future of the youth who are
to be itted and prepared for the grave and
responsible duties Of citizenship.
THE EDUCATIONAL PLANK.
That in a liberal and progressive education
the future veal and prosperity of the common
wealth is assured, while criminal neglect of
the matter of such promise in its Importance
will assuredly tend to demoraliza tion, and re
sult in serious consequences under the changed
conditions of society; that we hereby tender our
most sincere sympathy to President Harrison
b cause o. the illness OF Mrs Har rison and we
hope Tor her speedy restoration TO health.
NO STATE TICKE7'.
No state ticket was nominated for reasons
contained in the following resplution, which
was adopted after a lively fight:
Resolved, That in view of the fact that a large
majority of the republican voters of the state
have been deprived OF their right to vots by the
unjust operation of the registration and cleo
ton laws OF the state, we detm it inadvisable
and inexpedient to make nominations for state
officers, but we urge republican voters In every
part Of the state TO the support OF the national
ticket.
There has been no state republican ticket
since 1876, when Wade Hampton beat
Chamberlain for governor, and many dele
gates thought a state ticket should be put
up TO show that the party is not corpse in
South Carolina. The party leaders were
against it and no ticket was nominated.
