The people's journal. (Pickens, S.C.) 1891-1903, 1894-10-04

Charleston was specially interest
ing. Gen. McCrady and the rest
of delegates except Mr.. Fishburne
were earnestly opposed to nomina-
tions.
M'CRADY SPEAKS FOR FOR CHARLES
TON.
Gen. McCrady explained what he
thought to be the attitude of the
people of Charleston, and that the
two Senators, the members of the
House and many others regarded
themselves u pledged to the regu-
lar nominees already in the field
and that a full vote could not be
brought out for Il new State ticket.
Mr.. Fishburne presented tho other
side of the picture and thought a
strong vote would rally to another
ticket. So it went and the coun-
ties kept up their reports, varying
here and there. May be at another
time something will be said about
these reports.
The summary of tho reports
vary. One of the most careful
delegates told me that eight coun-
ties reported favorable to nomina-
tions, fourteen against nomina-
tions, eight doubtful and four
counties not reporting or present.
Another report was that seventeen
counties were in favor of making
nominations of a full ticket.
ALL COUNTIES REPORT AND TALK BE-
At 8. rs the reports from the
various counties were all in and
then began debate about how
to let each of the delegates talk.
A motion to limit the debate to
four hoars and to allow every dele
gate present tenminutes time to
debate the advisability of making
nominations if he sawft.
THE QUESTION OF NoMINAT1oNs.
MIR. Saunders, of the Spartan
burg delegation brought things to
focus by making IL melton that
nominations should not be made
at this time. Then the oratoricnl
pyrotechnics began, and at 12.4 40
the debate is still in progress.
THE SPEAKERS FOR AND AGAINST.
From what can be heard the
principal.debaters against nominal
tions are: Howell, of Colleton
Woodward, of Aiken; Mower, OF
Newberry; Dantzler, of Orange
burg; MCGOWAN, of Abbeville ;
5 a Il II crs, of Spartanburg.
Among those favoring nomina-
tions thus far are; Capers, of Co.
lumbia; Graydon, CT Abbevillo !;
Simms, of Barnwell; n. Boutwell,
Butlor, eff Union; Dargan, of Dar-
ling; Verdier, Of Beaufort.
Application has been made for q
correct roster of the delegates,
through the break in the door, but
it was fruitlcss.
THE CAUCUS DECLARES FOR NoMINA-
TIoNs.
At twonty minutes to 2 the cau-
Gus decided to mako nominations
by a majority of 33.
A delegate from the low country
who has just left the hall, says
that the vote was 80 to 1913 in fa-
vor of nominations. Tho infor-.
nation is that the delegations are
worry much divided. Had Marlbo-
70, Sumter and Kershaw sent del
egates nominations would have
been defeated, if the reports as to
counties ars correct.
TWO DELEGATIONS LEAvEI THE HALL.
Later Delegates coming from tho
Convention give different results
as to the vote on the question, ere
solved, That is is inexpodient to
make nominations at this timo."
One delegate said it was 1873 to 90,
another that it was 80 to 1913, but
the majority was given at 28 or 33.
As soon as tho vote was an
nounced Capt. Dantzler, of Or
angeburg, said that his delegation
considered itself virtually instruct
cd, and with the exception of Col.
Goodwin and II. M. Rush, tho
entire Orangoburg delegation ro-
tired from tho hall. Nowberry, as
