LAUBENS. H. C, JULY 11, 1000.
The Democratic Convention.
Caezar: "The ides of March are come.
Soothsayer: Aye, Caezar, but not
gone."
The Kansas City Convention is hi
to?y It was done a- the rest, with
much conference, much log-rolling
much elooutlonislng, overwhelming en
thusiasm. It was so at Philadelphia -
it was ever thus. There is nothing like
a noise?half the world is fooled by it
The sinn: I toy whistles us he passes
the grave yard to keep up his couruge.
After the hurrah, the leaders put on
their study ing caps and do the brain
work to win, The result U Bryan, the
expected, and Stevenson, who's a sur
vival (.f Cleveland, and who had not
boon considered.
Tho el*!o0C men in the Democratic
organization wi re in the convention,a
marked feature. There was but one
issue?whether to make the financial
p'nnk predominant in the platform?
tho moderates prevailed and the money
question is stuck upon the outer ed e.
while imperialism, trusts and mil lar
ism are topmost and centrally placed,
and well studded with wrought and
toughened spikes. So tho forces are in
array and the light is on. It was a har
monious body and this was unavoidable,
as Bryan dictated every step taken
?the crossing of i's and "dotting of t's.
Bryan against I lanna and the Unit od
States und for that matter the earth.
Look at the back of your old FChOOl
atlas and see tho picture of a fellow
bearing the globe oil his shoulders.
One strange leaturo was the m'ghtt
toast that Hill, of New York, proved
?the Convention goinsr Into spasm
when his name was cnll?d or he showed
himself in the vast throng. This w is
specially so with tho Southern men?
supposed to be populists. And thus it
looks as if the Southern representa
tives had not the courage of their eon
viotione?-swinging to the oont tails of
their leaders when the pinch came
Tillman leaned clean out < f the per
pendicular towards Townc, the popul
iat candidate and the South Carolina
delegation w'jre well selected for Lieu
tenants. Tillman was South Carolina
on all the committees, and Tillman
n ad the platfot m for the Chairman I
Resolutions and did it In TJP.inaac?s(pff'
Style with effect. .-Tke cimimiftecma-'
from this State to notify Bryan is W.
B, Wilson, of Charleston, and to notify
Stevenson is .I. A. Mooiu-y, of Green
ville. Of course this Stato is all right
and all we can do is to insist upon 010
rich men to show their faith by their
works in contributing iibcra iy of the
einews of war to be used in doubtful
States. As THE ADVERTISER has be
fore said the election determines
whether this govcrumi lit remain"" It
repub io in fact or an empire w i h a
great standing army and foreign pos
sessions under the name and title, lie
pviblic.
In the meanwhile, kind Laurctlf
reader, don't conclude that we think
the Convention made a mis'ake in se
lecting Den Tillman out of the Sou:l
Caiolinn delegation for important posi
tions. Wc have a notion that many el
the South Carolina delegation und
many more of tho (' invention, were in
sympathy with Hill's ideas. Hut there
is auch a thing; as hypnotism in these
times, ordinarily covered by another
well known phrase. Hero is about tie
way of it?"And he had a son, whose
name was Saul, a choice voting man,
and a goodly:and there was not amony.
the children of Israel a goodlier per*
B?lHiian lu'? from his shoulders and up
ward he was higher than any of the
people.'' Tho Democratic party i.?
thoroughly untied and will light 'ike
tigers, it remains to be seen if their
lines are thiek enough. They have
smokeless powder and the maufcor rille
?"he best of the argument.
Notice to Confederates.
