party and to populist doctrines,
have alieDated us from our fell
low democrats of the Union and
have brought the party in South
Carolina into reproach as to it's
alignment with the national DEM
cratic platform, adopted false aud
undemocratic principles and pro-
mulgated them in the name and
under tho banner of democracy
and.
"Whereas, the democratic m, ,ss.

mittee actually perplitting anoth-
