Republican Convention.
The State Republican convention
was held in Columbia Wednesday
night. Edward Deas, Of Darlington,
was elected state chairman and Rob-
ert Smalls, of Beaufort, was elected
vice chairman. w. D. Crum and l..
w. c. Blalock were nominated as pres
idential electors at large, and the fol-
lowing were nominated from the re-
spective districts: 1stAGeo. Holmes;
2d-T. A. Odom;, 3D.. W. Tolbert; 4th
H. H. FELTON,; Fifth-R. P. Roberts;
9Th, M. K. Holloway; 7th, Geo. w.
Murray. w. E. Boykin was appointed
executive committeeman from the 9th
district. The following platform was
unanimously adopted: ;"The Republi-
can party Of South Carolina in conven-
ton assembled reaffirms the principles
of the platform adopted by the Repub-
lican national convention held in Phil
adelphia, upon which Mckinley and
Roosevelt were nominated, and prides
itself upon it's connection with great
national party formed for the -correc-
tion Of great moral and political abus-
es; upon it's glorious achievements FOR
humanity and right, and upon the
commercial and industrial prosperity
vouchsafed to the people through Its
wise and judicious legislation, enforced
by honest and patriotic executives. In
no crisis of the nation has more con-
fidence been bestowed upon chief
MAGISTRATE than that through which
the present administration has passed
and Is now passing, and in no case has
that confidence been m9re .worthily be-
slowed than upon that plain, honest
and patriotic man Of the people, VIM.
Mckinley. No president has ever COM
tended with more grave and difficult
problems and no president has ever
contributed more to their happy and
proper that President Mckinley should
have received a unanimous renomina-
ton at the hands Of his party and the
American people show their good judg-
ment and love for the nation when
they demand and guarantee his reelec-
uon in November next, to the end that
four years more Of prosperity may at
tend the people and that the nation be
saved from impending dishonor and
ruin. The Democratic party after
shifting issues from 16 to 1 has now
settled upon the bogus issue OF i'm
perialism, and claim that no people
should be governed without their con-
sent, while the people Of this and other
states have constitutions and laws
thrust upon them by a minority which
deprives the majority Of the right to
say under what laws and by whom
they shall be governed. We endorse
the administration in it's domestic and
foreign policy and stand firmly with 1t
in suppressing the insurrection In the
Philippine islands, and condemn the
Democratic party for aiding and abet-
ting the Filipinos in their unwise
course in striking down the hand that
is lifted to help them. We condemn
the Democratic party for it's illegal and
unjust election laws; for its blind par
tisanship in the selection Of commits
sioners and managers OF election and
for it's boasted policy of disfranchising
100000 voters of the right Of suffrage,
and we point out to the world that this
is imperialism run mad. Upon these
issues we invoke the aid Of al patri-
otic citizens the state in the elec-
ton of Mckinley and Roosevelt for
president and vice president respect
ively to the end that peace and good
will, honor and prosperity may attend
the people and the nation throughout
it's borders"
