most enthusiastic democratic outpour-
ipes that ever was witnessed here and
the enthusiasm manifested was I'M
hounded. The speakers were fluent
and convincing to all reasonable peo-
nile. The mission of the present con-
stitutionsl convention was especially
portrayed by those who addressed the

which they are engaged was appreci-
sted by all present-certainly all demo-
crats-who have for over third OF o
century lived under the present Under
wood constitution. The scarecrow set
up by republicans that white men we're
to be disfranchised was completely
annihilated and the true objects OF the
convention were set forth, The speakers
were severe on the individual who now
poses as the republican candidate for
Governor, exposing his weaknesses
aud his pique st the democratic party,
with which he so long consorted, be-
cause he was not deemed suitable for a
position for which he aspired. If any
democrat were impressed with any OF

were allowed their way in the South.
