TRIBUTE TO JUDGE MCIVER.


Whereas Hon. Henry McIver, at
the bidding of the democratic party,
has served the whole people Of South
Carolina for rs years, first as asso-
ciate Justice and latterly as chief JUS
tice, with distinguished fidelity and
ability, having in his first opinion in
1877 settled finally, and properly, as
is now universally conceded, the
question of the receptive rights of
d. H. Chamberlain and Wade Hamp.
ton as to the governorship Of this
State, and having once for patriotic
reasons declined the office of chief
justice, his lifelong ambition, TO
which after years of patient service
as associate justice, he was finally
elevated by unanimous vote of the
general assembly, and
Whereas he is now suffering from
disease which prevents at present the
active service which he has
been accustomed to render, and in
flicts acute suffering upon him; now
be it
Resolved by the democratic party
Of South Carolina in convention as
sembled:
l. That it hereby desires to ex-
press the debt of gratitude of the
people Of this State to the distln-
guished chief Justice and to assure
him Of it's warmest affection and sin
cerest sympathy IN his aflliction, and
to express tho hope that he may long
be spared to counsel and guide the
great court Of which he is the ornat o
head; an example Of industry, learn
ing, probity and patriotism which
should be both an example and an
inspiration to the men who are to
assume from time to time tho bur.
dens and responsibilities of political
and professional life in this State.

This resolution was adopted with
the following amendments: Strike
out the word slender" and insert the
words under twelve years of age"
| CoNDEMNINd M'LAURIN.
Mr.. L. l.. Rogers of Marlboro Of
fered the following:
Resolved, by the democratic con-
vention Of South Carolina, That the
course Of j. L. McLaurin as senator
from this State in the United States
senate, is hereby condemned.
There were several other resolu-
tlons presented to the committee
that were laid upon the table for the
reason that the subject matter is en-
braced in those that we're recon-
mended for adoption.
TIE PLATFORM ADOPTED.
On motion Of Mr.. Stevenson the
platform as read was adopted.
THE HORSE GREEK TROUBLE.
The Blouse resolution relating to
the Horse Greek trouble, as given
above, was taken up, with the favor
oble report, and Senator Gruber
asked for the minority report. The
minority report was read as follows:
We the undersigned members on
the committee on platform and reso-
lutions to whom was referred the
resolution Of Mr.. Cole l.. Blease with
reference to certain lockout of cot
ton mill operatives in Aiken County,
beg to submit this as q minority re-
port: That we cannot concur with
the views Of the majority report, as
we have not sufficient information to
form correct opinion and because
we believe Mr.. Blease's resolution to
be extreme.

CHILD LABOR.
The child labor mattor WAS then
taken up. Mr.. Dorrah moved to
strike out the resolving words. The
convention exceeded its authority.
The Legislature composed of demo
Gratis should settle this issue.
Mr.. Thurmond said democrats, of
I course, differed about many matters,
but they never failed to act. This is
al important matter, policy that
should be adopted. He discussed
some of the reasons and pictured the
conditions Of tho children of the
mills.
MIR. r. B. A. Robinson thought
that the people of the State had
right to say how they would work
their children. He wanted peace in
the party.
Mr.. Harrison of Fairfield spoke
earnestly in favor Of the resolution
! 1t Was wise in this convention to OK
press itself in this matter.
Senator Raysor Of Orangebnrg
moved that tho resolution be indefi-
nitely postponed for the reason that
the matter should be discussed by
the general assembly.
After several had tried to get the
floor the vote on tho motion to in
definitely postpone the whole matter
was taken. There was bad tangle,
which carried Senator Tillman to
his feet for the first time. The mo-
ton was lost, 81 voting to lndefnite-
ly postpone, 145 to the contrary.

would avoid complications.
Mr.. Blease insisted upon the ap.
pointment Of two committees which
would be more representative and
Democratic.
Mr.. McKeown of Chester followed
and agreed with Mr.. Blease.
Senator Robert Aldrich thought
one committee all that was necessary.
lie moved to table the substitute.
but withdrew for the time being.
MIR. Evans of Marlboro said that
now there was much discussion of
proposed changes in party platform,
rules and constitution. It was most
important that these matters should
be handled with judgment and care.
All candidates would be bound by
the action of this body.
Mr. Josh Ashley said all the re.
ports would have to come back to
the convention. "Whatever the
committee done and ought'er done"
would have to be passed upon. One
committee was enough.
Mr.. Evans of Marlboro again
stated the provisions of his substi-
tute. The substitute was then
adopted in short order.
The committees were then elected.
OTHER MATTERs.
Senator Grnber called attention
to the fact that there was no treas.
urer. Mr.. j. e. Boggs of Pickens
was elected while he was asking
what the question was.
The roll Of the members of the
State Democratic executive commit
tee was then called and the elections
made by the county conventions
we're confirmed, on motion of Mr.
Bnist of Charleston.
Resolutions were then called for
and number were presented and
several were read from the desk be-
fore being referred to the proper
committees.
