1t ..ccuses the White People of the State

COLUMBIA S. c.. Feb. 9.-The fol
lowing is the platform adopted By the
late Republican Convention:
We. the Republicans of South Car
olina. in convention assembled for the
purpose OF organizing the Republican
party of the State on broader, more
liberal and more progressive basis, do
declare our principles as follows:
"On national questions we declare
adherence to the essential principles
of the National Republican party as
set forth in its platform of prlnclp les
at Minneapolis in June, 1892, that IS
to say:
1--WE are in favor of moderate and
reasonable protection for American Ia
Dor and American capital against the
cheaper labor and cheaper capital OF
other countries.
We are in favor OF sound tull value
money. whether OF gold, silver or pa
per currency, for all classes of the peo-
pie, for the "breadwinner" as well as
for the capitalist, for the poor laborer
in his hut. as we'll as for the million
aire in his palace.
I'VE are IN favor of a government
service based on merit and capacity
instead of on the corrupt and deoaslng
Jacksonian system OF 10 the vlc1ofS
belongt the spoils.
We are in favor of free and fair
ballot II all public elections. and an
honest count of the votes. for all clas-
scs Of citizens, whether native or for
e:cn born, whetha" white or colored.
THESE we regard as the fundamen-
tai principles OF the National Repub!:l-
can party: and we believe they are IN
no sense sectional and in no way hos.
tile or inimical to the best interests OF
the South or OF our own State. But
in local State affairs Our position IS
Deculiar and we arc under the necessi-
t. OF accommodating ourselves to the
