Prohibitionlsts Put Out Their Platform
and Ticket.

COLUMBIA, S. c., April l5.-The
political campaign Of 1893 has now
virtually opened. The State Prohi-
bition Convention has been held and
the full State ticket has been nomi-
mated as was predicted. The politi-
CLANS have been very much surprised
at the personnel Of the ticket, and the
wisdom displayed in making the plat
form SO brief and pithy. The prohi-
bition movement is now no longer re-
garded by any n as q matter of lit
tie Importance. All realize fully that
it means ~ olively1Iight all the way
through and its possible sources Of
strength are many.
The mex move on the political
cheokerboard now is the holding Of the
ward and precinct meetings and coun-
ty conventions throughout the State
preliminary to the May convention Of
the Democratic party. That V
ton is expected 20 be an unusually in
~teresting and eventful one.
The prohibition convention was
A0o 0R vi - ACplCCCatutltO anu luCcl-
llgent body Of men and everything
moved along tremendously. There
was but little useless talk. The con-
vention was very particular to let the
world understand that its fight was to
be made inside the Democratic party.
There vas marked unanimity of ac-
tion; nothing shows this better than
the brief and emphatic platform
adopted, as follows:
The prohibitionists Of the State of
South Carolina, in convention assem-
bled, on the 14th day of April, 1893,
hereby adopt the following platform.
First. We declare our allegiance to
the regular Democratic party and our
suggested nominees stand pledged to
abide the result Of the Democratic
