Thc Boston Herald has been study
ing thc results of thc recent elections.
As thc result it declares that th ero
has boen no year since tho war-not
even that remarkable one of 1874,
which was followed by seventy or
eighty Democratic majority in Con
gress-when tho local elections
showed smdi steady and sweeping
gains against thc party in power as
they have shown in thc North, the
centre and thc East this year-ev
erywhere, indeed, in which thc pco
plo have voted. Jt indicates not
only a widespread feeling of dissat
isfaction on thc condition of tho
tariff, but an emphatic disapproba
tion of thc course of President Har
rison, thc action of Speaker Heed,
and thc unscrupulous effort, as seen
jn thc Montaiin election and in other
instances, to overthrow thc influence
of tho people in our form of govern
ment. Thc Democratic party never
had more important work to do, nor
more encouragement to enter boldly
upon it.

On motion of Major Younians it
wns determined to appoint a com

Nominations were made from thc

were elected : John J. Dargan, of
Sumter, L. W. Kounians, of Barn
well, Iredell Jones, of York, Thos.
W. Woodward, of Fairfield, and C.
S. Land, of Clarendon.
At 12:20 c. M., thc Conference took
a recess until 5 p. M.
Tl IK AKTKKNOOX SKSSIOX
of thc Conference was, like thc
earlier one, open to tho public, and a
large number of leading business
men, upon ascertaining that they
could sec and hear tho proceedings
of the meeting, attended and took
seals around the large room, which,
(turing one session of tho Legisla
ture, while tho interior of thc State
House was being reconstructed,
served as tho Senate chamber. Ad
ditional supplies of chairs were
brought in for tho conferees, who, at
5:22 v. M., had arrived and taken
their places in thc center of the
roam.
President Jones and Seorotajy
Dargan sat side by side at a long
table ami were Hanked by reporters.
Tho Chair at the hour named called
thc Conference to order and request
ed Coi. L. W. Younians, thc (./'hair
man of tho committee appointed lo
prepare an address, to submit lin
committee's report. Col. Younians
produced au assortment ol' letti;
sheets, bearing inscriptions in three
or four handwritings, eloquent evi
dence that the address bad be
brought to the Conference in no
body's pocket, and read slowly and
with deliberate emphasis tho follow
ing paper :
"Tho situation of political affairs
in South Carolina demands the im
mediate consideration of every good
citizen. As Democrats and farmers,
seeking no personal gain, but infill*
enccd by strong convictions as to the
good of our State, wc desire lo pre
sent our views to thc Democrat ic
voters of the State, nod to ask for
these views a fair and thoughtful
consideration.
"The Democratic party is indicted
by some of its own members for
favoritism, for relinquishing its func
tions to an oligarchy of aristocrats,
for betraying thc confidence placed
in it by thc people, for wasteful ex
travagance, even for corruption.
Your natural foes have not alleged
so much. Men within tho party,
claiming to represent 80 per cent of
tho Democratic voles and having
aspirations for office, have not sub
mitted their claims according lo thc
usual methods upon their merits to
thc judgment of a Democratic Con
vention; but upon fictitious pretexts
havo formed a party within their
party, hold a Convention, adopted a
platform, practically nominated a
candidate for Governor, and by
moans of an organized campaign
committee propose to force their
candidate upon tho ?3tatt) Demo
cratic Convention in thu name of the
fanners of South Carolina.
"In this departure from the usual
mothods, in our judgment, there ?s
an innovation pregnant with great
danger to thc unity and harmony of
thc Democrat ii; party. Conscious of
thc fact thal the purity and integ
rity of our institutions depend upon
thc solidarity of tho party, we view
with tho greatest apprehension thc
delib?rate declaration of the candi
dato, which, in our opinion, arraya
caste against casto, ami, dividing tho
whito pcoplo, ondangors Anglo
Saxon supremacy. Helioving that
upon tho perpetuity of tho Demo
cratic party in ?South Carolina as at
present constituted depends the peace
and prosperity of tho State and thc
general welfare of tho people; believ
ing that tho methods of nominating
State ?ffic?ttl by that party in tho past
havo been fair, honorable and just to
all classes of our citizens, regardless
Of occupation or calling; believing
that thc administration of tho Slate
Government has been in tho past
and is at present able, pure, honest
and free from corruption; believing
that an attack upon thc party under
these circumstances is fi reflection
upon thc intelligence and integrity
of thc people; believing that thc
party's mott ., in thc future should
be as it has been in thc past, 'Equal
rights to all, special privileges to
none,' wc, thc undersigned, farmers
and Democrats, desire lo enter our
solemn protest against thc unusual,
unprecedented 'and revolutionary
action of thc Shell Convention.
"As Democrats wc cannot witness
without protest thc control of our
party by a faction; as agricultural
ists wc will not permit our honorable
occupation to bo degraded into a
spoilsman's 'machine;' as citizens wc
will not be silent, under misrepresen
tation. Wc believe that itt these
declarations wc voice the sober opin
ions of a majority of our Democratic
farmers. Thc success of tho 'Till
man movement' under thc 'Sholl'
call would mean tho discredit of thc
Democratic party by itself; it would
declare slander truth and reward thc
slanderer. It would embroil thc
party, make local quiet impossible,
and check the industrial develop
ment of thc Stale. In tho oyes of
thc country it would be a verdict
against thc Democracy of South
Carolina. Wo confidently appeal to
that Democracy to arouse itself, and
to support our protest against the
aggrandizement of ono man at such
great cost lo thc State."
Tlie address was signed by thc fol
lowing members, all of whom were
present: [redol? .Iones, President ol
thc Conference, York; John J. Dar

Tho Conference punctuated tb
address with applause, cspooinll;
that part expressing thoir tletcrmi
nation not to allow tho agricultura
interests to bo degraded into a spoils
man's ''machine." There was mor
applause at tho close. Thc questio
of tho adoption of tho address wa
put, and Col. Youmans, speaking t
it, made a strong but short speed
Ho said that thc address presente
thc views entertained by thc commit
Icc and, he believed, held by all c
tho members of tho Cohforonc
present. Thal South Carolina ha
been ruled by an oligarchy of aristo
orals; that Hampton and his assoc
ates and successors had not repr<
sen ted thc common people of tl:
State as well as others; that ot
Government had been inefficient <
corrupt, were assertions which coul
not bo sustained and which the Coi
foronco would feel bound to rojee
Since 1870 tho Government of Soul
Carolina has been as pure and patt
otic as any which ever presided ov<
any organization of civilized heine
[Applause] Tho committee hf
been conservative in its report, b
with a tolerance for differingopinioi
of some of tho brave mon who hf
sustained thc State in its new deel
ration of independence in 187C,
felt warranted in challenging pro
of tito charges against tho Dothoor
oy which had boen made to dolu<
them-charges which, as tho ropo
had stated, exceeded those mudo 1
|our natural foes. [Applause.]
Thc address was then unanimous
adopted.
President Jones stated th
twenty-one counties were represor
cd in this Conference, but tho tin
afforded for the preparation hi
been so short that in cases who
gentlemen invited to attend h;
boen unable do so it had not bo
I practicable to invite others to tn
thoir places, but lie cou'."! announce
that in only two eases had tho nu?
swore been unfavorable. Soino of
tho replies from those who wore un
ablo to bo present woro so pleasant
that ho would ask tho Secretary to
read extracts from them in evidence
of the interest and approval of thoso
who woro compelled to bc absout
from tho Conference.
I.1CTTHKS OK SYMPATHY.
Secretary Dargan then rend tho ex
tracts presented :
1. Berkeley-C. St. G. Sinkler,
Eutawvillo : "Count upon mo as ho
ing cntiroly with you in this vitally
impartant matter. I will work vig
orously to defeat the man." (Pre
vented from attending by illness in
family.)
2. Spartanburg-J. W. Stribling,
Slribliug : "I sincerely hope your
Conference may roach a satisfactory I
conclusion, and that wo may bo able
to avoid any division in our Democ
racy." (Unablo to attend person
ally.)
3. Union-J. T. Douglas, Union :
"I am sorry I cannot moot with you,
but circumstances over willoh I have
no control prevent. Your lotter
came to hand while I was away on
my farm, consequently did not re
ceive my attention sooner."'5
4. Bickens-I). F. Bradley, Pick
ens: "Thc objects of your meeting
meet my hearty approval, and you
may rest assured that wbothcr I at
tend the mooting or not your efforts
to defeat Tillman and promote thc
best interests of thc State will have
my hearty approval and co-opora
tion."
0. Oconcc-John VY. Shelor, Tu
galoo : "1 fully endorse the Confer
ence you suggest, and it is with
great reluctance I write you tho
above excuse. I have looked upon
tho Shcll-Tillman movement from
its* origin and conception as sensa
tional ami calculated to do much
harm and little good, except to ad
vertise tho originators of the move
ment and bring them lo thc front,
and when you analyze tho whole
matter you find self-aggrandizemenl
at the bottom with no merit at al!
to sustain it."
G. Chester-li. A. Love, Chester
"Wishing you abundant SUCCOSB."
7. 1 lorry-Jeremiah Smith, So
oastec : "1 will say further that 1
think Tillman will not get a respect
abb; following in I lorry. * * Th?
Alliance is doing well here. Agri
cultural business is well advanced
Politics have not disturbed us mud
yet."
8. lidgefield-IL A. Shaw, Ham
burg. "If nothing prevent I wil
lill your appointment on thc 28d.'*
?). Lancaster-John B. Erwin
Lancaster: "Lancaster sent dele
gates (myself among them) to th
Shell Convention to oppos
nominations as (langerons to ibo in
tcgrity of thc Democratic party ii
South Carol ?ha. * - ' - I do no
regard thc Shell Convention as
farmers' convention. Tho mnjorit
of thc farmers present voted again*
nomination. Thc measure was cai
ried only by thc assistance of th
men from Charleston. This dostroj
cd tho farmers' strength. Tho as
peet at present is a dissatisfied win
of tho party against thc regain
Democratic organization and, I ma
add, tho civilization of tho Stat?
tho supremacy of thc whites. Tili
you, gentlemen may succeed in d<
vising some plan whereby to dofet
the scheme of this arrant demagoga
is most desirable, but how to net fe
thc best under tho circumstances,
think, will require much thought an
prudence."
Col. Dargan then spoke briefly ail
earnestly. It had been stated c
tho floor of thc Shell Convention, 1
said, that thc people needed politic
education and wished public que
lions to be discussed before them c
tho stump. This wish thc mon wli
were herc to-day proposed to mc
to thc fullest extent. Our pcoplo i
need political education. That
demonstrated by tho fact that
movement like that of Capt. Ti!
man's has boon able to attain i
present dimensions, and wo propo
to do our part in educating thoi
and wo sock in this tho co-opcrati<
of all who arc interested in the w(
fare of tho State. Tho education
thc masses would bring them ovor
j our side, for on our sido wo had tl
right. [Applause.] Let us go fe
ward among tho pcoplo with tl
torch of truth and enlightenment

entirely upon the press. A gre

Too many courses at dinnor.
Too many chestnuts.
Too many women who support
their husbands.
Too many liars.
Too many bores.
Too many tircsomo plays.
Too many books written to soil and
not to read.

many babios, and while thoro aro
plenty of babies and plenty of love,
thcro will always bo plenty of hap
