by party that has deserted its priu-
ciples just because it is labeled Demo-
cratic. We have hecn hampered by n
negro majority in South Carolina, and
Democracy meant white supremacy
and nothing moro. But now, no man
can claim that did not, in the Con-
stitutional convention, rise above per-
sonal considerations aud eudeavor to
give the people of the State an organic
law that would last for all time, and
insure them good government. And
now l can turn to these men and say
to them that we are ready to meet them
with their negro vote. Ii they want
to draw tho issue with the Democracy,
however, let them do it under the
name of Democracy.
He pointing to Senator Irby) says
that tho Democratic party was good
enough to elect me us Senator. and
that the trouble now Is simply that L
want 10 he President. / think, my
friends, that the gentleman has simply
misunderstood the situation, nnd that
mll of this outcry is simply due TO the
fact that tho gentleman wants to he

concerned. l view it simply in this
way: In the first place, / come from
State that is hated nll over tho North
because secession originated here-I
am no fool. Whatever else may be
said OF INC, no ono has ever accused
me of being fool. Therefore, when
they accuse me of having presidential
bee In MY bonnet, they simply mag
mfy the purposes and hopes of my
heart. L have donc my best to elevate
and iibcrnte the people of South Caro-
Ina, and my ambition is to do in tho
national field in those other down
troddel States what | have done here.
IL l should receive the presidential
nomination I should receive it with the
same misgivinSs which many of you
had when L was nominated here in
1870; because l would realize the
greatness of the task that l would have
before me.
You cnnnc: expect to overcome sec.
tionnl prc;ldices in securing the pres
ldenti.i nomination. If YOU saw tit to
PIT me forward, l would lead the par
'Hy, as led you (Chcers) And if L
am defeated, as I would expect to be, I
would lose no sleep on account of it,
but would be Just as contented as 1
would have been if l had been defeated
In the State.
Though we may split on the Federal
ticket and have two electoral tickets in
the fall, there is no reason why we
should have n split in State politics
We can go on and nominate and elect
our State and county officers ns here
toforc, unless some of these men (here
Senator Tillmnn's voice and manner
expressed great animus) whom tho
devil has taken upon the mountain, go
to tho negro and try to bring the black
man into South Carolina politics as IN
arbiter OF affairs. But if they DO we
can go right on and take care of the
State, anyway.
What principles have we abandoned?
Noicc-''Eone."
There is nothing in the platform
that even hints ut the abandonment of
principles. We are simply saying to
the Northern friends who have stood
by us rs long ia they could keep their
hands in our pockets, that they can no
lunger dictate to us.
