Augusta Chronicle.
COLUMBIA, S. c., Sept. 19.-The
State Democratic Convention was
called to order at IL o'clock to-day
by Senator Irby, chairman of the
executive committee. Over 300 dele
gates were present, every county
being represented. A large ma
jority are Tillmanites, only one
delegation, that from Charleston,
being Conservatives.
A new constitution of the party
was adopted, which provides for a
direct primary for every candidate
for any Office from coroner up.
The platform endorses the Ocala
platform, as we'll as the Chicago
platform; demands the free coin
age of silver at a ratio of 16 to l
and endorses the dispensary law as
the best solution of the dispensary
question.
One section of the platform, as
at first drawn, which denounced
President Cleveland for failing to
carry out the pledges Of the party
and for prostituting Congress by
patronage to carry out his policy,
was finally killed. and no mention
of the President or the national
administration was made.
The Charleston delegation tried
hard to get the convention to come
out aquarely on the Democratic
platform and denounce Populism,
but their efforts were defeated by
an overwhelming vote.
The convention then nominated {:
John Gary Evans for Governor.
". H. Zimmerman, Lieutenant
Governor.
w. T. G. Bates, Treasurer.
O. w. Buchanan, Attorney Gen
eral.
The convention took a recess un-
til $50.
The nominees are all Tillman-
ties and had no opposition. The
Charleston delegates announced in
the convention that they would
not support the nominees because
they were not on true Democratic
platform. They were hissed and
jeered and started to leave the
hall, but for some reason did not
do 80.
On the convention reassembling
balloting for other State officers
was commenced and resulted:
For Secretary of State, D. H.
Tompkins, now Tillman's private
secretary.
For Comptroller General, James
Norton, now chief clerk in that
office.
For Adjutant and Inspector Gen.
eral, John Gary Watts.
For Superintendent of Educa-
ton, W. D. Mayfeld, incumbent.
The convention was harmonious,
but the balloting took some time
owing to the fact that there were
several candidates for each of these
Offices.
The convention concluded it's
labors by nominating W.D. Evans,
H. r. Thomas, and J. G. Wilbern
as railroad commissioners.
John Gary Evans and other
nominees addressed the conven.
ton, after which it adjourned sine
die.
SHORT AND ToLERABLY SWEET.
The following is the platform
adopted:
1. The representatives of the
Democratic party of South Caro-
lima, in convention assembled, do
reaffirm their allegiance to the
principles of the party as formu-
lated by Jefferson and Calhoun,
and their successors in Democratic
leadership.
2. We reaffirm our allegiance to
the platform adopted by the Demo-

The Custer guards expect to be regu
larly received by the state on the 22nd
inst, when Gen. Silsby and Gov. Shell
don are both expected to be there.

Speaking Of the meeting of the state
central committee of the republican
party, to be held at Mitchell on the 21st
inst, to name the time and place for
holding the state convention, the Gus
ter Chronicle has the correct under
standing of the matter when it says:
"If we remember rightly there was q
kind of tacit understanding among
the members of this committee two
years ago, that Hot Springs claims in
this direction should be considered this
year, and we hope the committee may
bear this in mind,- as it is about time
the Black Hills should receive some-
thing in the way of recognition for
what she has done for the party of
progress"

The general sentiment, SO far as the
STAR is able to ascertain, is favorable
to granting the franchise that has been
asked for by j. NJ. Metcalf and associa-
tes for putting in an electric street
railway. With the possible exception
of changing the time for it's completion
from one year to four or six months,
and making one or two other minor
changes, the opinion seems to be unan-
imous for it's passage. A street railway
is one of the greatest necessities of the
city at the present time. With such a
unanimous support of the measure
from the people, and with company
amply able to carry out it's provisions,
as well as being quite largely interested
in the welfare of the town, there is
every reason for believing that before
fall we can boast of an electric street
railway. We want it.

Dan Coughlin is a free man. the jury
returning verdict of mot guilty" How
strange! Tried once before for the
same crime, murder, convicted and i'm
prisoned- supposed for life. Now upon
some technicality he obtained a new
trial-everyway similar to the first, ex-
cepting different jurors is de-
clared not guilty. In one instance
someone has clearly been done most
serious wrong, and justice has been
slandered. Each time the case was
evidently fairly and impartially tried,
and the results are directly the oppo-
site. The one placed Dan Coughlin in
the penitentiary, the other sets him
free. With law and justice SO vacillat-
ing, SO uncertain, SO weak going to
the two extremes from the same evil
dence- -convicting man at one time
and acquitting him at another, is it any
wonder that we so often hear someone
declare that Law is a farce, and that
there is no justice in it?

The democratic Sturgis Advertiser
must be hard up for political bombast
when it will give space to such a con-
temptable squib as this:
"The republican editors of South
Dakota have given up their annual eN-
cursion because of democratic ma
tional administration. 1t is wonderful
what clap-trap the subsidized republi-
can state press will enter into to please
the republican state government
When it comes to excursions, summer
outings, ETC., there have been no party
lines drawn with the South Dakota ed
itors, and it comes with mighty poor
grace for a Cleveland postmaster's or
gan to harp about a subsidized press.

BEAUTIFUL SYLVAN LAKE.

The water outlet was closed at Sylvan
lake a few days ago, and the lake is now
gradually filling up. The dam is of the
most perfect and substantial character,
all former leakages having been effect
ually obviated. The extent of the lake
has been largely increased by building
the dam ten feet higher than it was
when first constructed, and the pres
ence of large quantities of snow war
rants its filling up early in the season.
The lake promises to be very popular
resort in the future, and will doubtless
be the mecca for numerous heat strick-
en- tourists from abroad during the
coming summer.-C Custer Chronicle.

1t has been decided by the commit
tee in chSrge to hold the Black Hills
soldiers and sailors reunion at Sturgis
on July 4. This date is not altogether
satisfactory to everybody who might
attend, nor to all who are interested,
for the reason that many places expect
to hold celebrations of their own, and
loyalty to home would keep them there.
The reunion would thus have too much
competition throughout the Hills to be
assured of a very large attendance from
the outside. The opinion prevails here
that it would be wise for the committee
to change the date.

there is now not much doubt but that
it will pass the sentate after it has gone
through the usual gauntlet of discus.
sion. Then the house will concur with
its:accustomed alacrity-and democrats
will roll over one another in their
rush to obey the commands of the
chief. It is believed, however, that the
law will not finally go into effect, il
passed, until September.

SUPPLIES GETTING Low.

Statistical returns to the department
of agriculture show that there are more
than twenty million bushels less wheat
in the hands of the farmers in this
country than one year ago. From re-
ports from all branches of industry the
same conditions seem to exist-the
supply being very greatly reduced from
what it was one year ago. This of
course is not strange; it is expected,
for manufacturing establishments have
been gradually closing down, or run
ming with but little help, for more than
year. All had been running at full
blast and an immense supply had ac-
cumulated, to meet all demands of a
prosperous people. This surplus has
thus far served the wants of the
people, whom financial panic has made
more economical, but it is getting low.
Wholesale establishments that previ-
ously carried immense supplies in their
respective line, like the farmers wheat
bins, are largely reduced from what
they were year ago. The bottom of
the supply is being reached at the store
houses, and the demands continue to
go out forsupplies. The efactories, then,
must of necessity resume operations
they are now gradually resuming, even
though many of them may be on short
time and with scant help. Yet the de-
mand causes the renewal of operations.
This fact is of course encouraging, but
the consideration that labor will receive
for it's services depends upon the com
petition that labor has to meet. The
more factories we have the less compe-
tition there will be for labor. If com
petition is confined to America the
compensation will doubtless be good,
while if labor here must compete with
foreign labor, no telling how low it will
drop.
From this we see the bright and the
gloomy side of the situation.
One Indicating, from the enever-ending
demand for goods of all kinds, that the
fires in the factories must again be re-
kindled, and idle hands set to work.
The other side is doubt, and there
fore gloom. Labor may find employ.
ment, but the question of wages being
in doubt leaves the matter still serious
Congress has the power to settle that
question promptly and to the great
delight of American workingmen
Let them do their duty and settle that
The sooner the tariff question is settled
in one way or another, just that much
sooner can the complete revival OF
manufacturing enterprises take place
having some definite basis from which
to regulate prices.
But the factories must operate tc
supply the needs of the people, and
thus will the ebbing industrial tide be
forced to change, and we believe soon
Congress may, and must, declare who
shall be competitors; whether the scale
shall be American or foreign, high OF
low. But in any event the indications
to us are that the low water mark ir
industrial affairs has been reached.
