COLUMBIA, May 1T.-At the session
Of the Democratic convention last
night the delegates to the national
convention were chosen from the var
ious districts, the party platform offer
ed by Senator Tillman was adopted
and other resolutions of Importance
were passed.
The feature of the night session was
the protest of Col. l.. w. Youmans, of
Barnwell, against Mr.. Gcntry's resolu-
ton endorsing Senator Tillman. Col.
YOumans made vigorous speech at
tacking Senator Tillman and his course
and he moved to strike out so much of
the resolution rs referred to .Mr. Till
man. Col. Youmans' action was some
what of a surprise to the other MEM
bers and was entirely uncalled for. He
got little sympathy for his attack from
the other members, who were unani-
nous in their endorsement of the polit-
ical attitude taken by Senator Till
man.
This was the Gentry resolution which
caused tho Youmans' speech:
Resolved, That wo endorse the
course of Hon. B. r. Tillman in the
United States Senate, and especially
the able manner in which he has ex-
posed and condemned the hypocrital
imperialistic policy of the Republican
administration. That his efforts to in
culcate honest methods in public ex-
penditures, and his expose of frauds
and steals in armor plate contracts en-
title him to the thanks of his State and
Of the republic.
The following report was the only
change in the constitution presented
