TIE DEMOCRACY
Meet in State Convention and
Elects National Delegates.
A HARMNiOus GATHERING.

Stir Up Strife Severely Re-
ouked by the Con.
yention
The State Democratic Convention
met in Columbia OF Wednesday in the
State House, and vas called to order
by Col. Willie Jones, State Chairman at
Il o'clock
The convention was opened with
prayer by DR.. w. E. Evaus, rector Of
Trinity church, just as the city bell
struck u The convention stood dur
ing the prayer. The prayer was gen.
eral in character but thoroughly appro-
pirate to the occasion, concluding with
the Lords prayer,
Mr. Breazeale. Ct Anderson was
elected temporary chairman. MIR.
Breazeale was elected unanimously,
end Col. L. f Campbell, Governor
| McSweeney, A. H. Patterson, F. B.
Gary and Col. Hoyt were appointed
committee to conduct him to the chair
amid applause and laughter. The COM
mittee did tbs work well.
Mr.. Breazeale was then introduced
and he thanked the convention for the
honor. He explained why the conyen-
tiou had assembled. Siace the last con
vention in this State new issues aud
problems had arisen aud many events
had transpired in the political world.
Almost throughout the world there had
been uprisiprS Of the people in behalf
Of liberty. The Uoised States had paid
60 unimporiant par. in this work
Cuba had been freed from SPANS yoke
and now had Republican form Of gov
ecnment But now the United States
was subdulDg another people in the
Philippines This was agsinstth prin-
ciples for which our forefathers had
fought. The Republican party seemed
to have forgotten what our forefathers
endured at Valley Forge. The Demo
cratic party stood against this and for
the principles for which she had ever
stood-for government for the people,
Of the people and by the people. And
under the leadership of that great COM
moner, VIM. j. Bry an the party hoped
in November to take charge Of all these
things. Mr.. Breazeale paid his re-
spects to trusts 1t would be a fight
this year largely between the American
people and the trusts. Bryan's name
was platform in itself. (Cheers }
Mr.. T. G. Haner was elected tempo
rary secretary and Mr.. S,aucell was
elected sergeant-at, arms. Both were
elected without opposition.
