VOL. I. mXSHASTHE LEAD I democratic State Convention on in South Carolina. ftHE OCALA PLATFORM PROBABLE i sol*position of the Conditional Bolt Made ia the Anti-TlUman Convention Ke mains to be Seen—The Fight on to the Finish. Columbia. S. C., September 10.—The democratic state convention meets at 'noon today. This morning’ arrivals complete the list of delegates, and the 'convention shows every evidence of being one of the largest, and perhaps loudest ever held in the Palmetto. [John Garry Evans will be the nominee for governor. There is a quiet scram ble among reformers for the' other places. The convention, will, in all ; probability, again adopt the Ocala plat form, though there are some who are willing to meet the conservatives half way. That there will be two tickets both claiming to be democratic is almost certain and a short, butexcit . ■ ing campaign will result. What the republicans will do remains to be seen. It is rumored that they will revive and take a hand in the fracus. One of the principal features of the loonvention will be the disposition made of the feeling brought out in the anti- Tillman convention yesterday. This convention adopted a series of resolutions in which it was demanded of the state convention which meets to day that they adopt the Chicago plat form and explicitly declare true and loyal allegiance to the national demo cratic party ; that it, at the same time repudiate and rescind the action of the state convention of 1872 which adopted the Ocala platform as the principles of the democratic party of the state ; that the state convention nominate no one not in full accord with the principles of the national democratic party or no one who acknowledge allegiance to the Ocala platform or to the principles of the populist party. An executive committee of one mem ber from each county was appointed which shall call the convention again should the state convention fail to car hut. these demands. OFFICERS ARREST OFFICERS. bloody Riot In Chicago Among Constables, Detectives and Gamblers. Chicago, September 19.—Shortly af ter 1 o’clock yesterday afternoon a squad of detectives from Matt Pinker ton’s agency attempted to raid the gam-- bling house of Harry .Varnell, ex-copn ty boodler, at 119 Clark street. Thp inmates of the establishment had been advised of the intended raid and made a stubborn resistance. Several black eyes and bloody noses were inflicted and the row continued until Varnell secured warrants for the arrest of the Pinkertons from a near by magistrate on a charge of disorderly conduct. A squad of special constables descended upon the detectives and took -them to the Harrison street station and the gambles went to work to repair damages. Varnell was open as usual last night.

Upon questions of na tional politics it says: The republicans of New York in con vention assembled, extehd hearty greet ings to the republicans'.of Pennsylva nia, Rhode Tslaud, OregoW, Vermont and Maine for their prompt and just judg ment on an incompetent democratic administration. They voice the verdict of the people that the path of protec tion is the path of prosperity. And we congratulate the democratic sugar planters of Louisiana on their courage ous declaration of independence of party trammels that endanger the ma terial prosperity of their Mate. Charges “Perfidy and Dishonor." We invite the people to compare the pledges of the democratic party with the performances of a democratic ad ministration. The fitness and capacity of the democracy to govern must bo judged by Its record. Its most import ant achievement thus far has been fitly characterized by the chief executive of its choice as one of “perfidy and dis honor.” Denouncing political corrup tion, it has rewarded the largest con tributors to its campaign fund by the best of all foreign missions; denounc ing trusts, it permitted one of them to to formulate its tariff bill; promising a continuance of the vigorous foreign policy established by the lamented James Gillespie Blaine, it substituted a "policy of infamy" when Hawaii was freely offered us; denouncing the Sher man act as a cowardly makeshift, it was enabled to repeal the silver pur chasing clause of that act only by the help of republican senators; arraign ing protection ns “a fraud upon labor,” it passed a mongrel protective measure so tainted with scandal that it barely escaped the veto of a democratic presi dent ; advocating free raw materials and an extension of our foreign trade, it destroyed all the profitable recipro cal agreements made by President Har rison ; pledging itsoly to the payment of "just and liberal pensions,” it treats the anion soldier as if the grand army badge were the badge of beggary and brigandage ; pledging retrenchment. “Odlou* Incom. Tax Hill.” It exceeded at the last session of con gress the expenditures of the corres ponding session of the last republican congress by 827,000,000 in the fact- of decreasing revenues, and after it hud added, 850,000,000 to the public debt while pretending to be in favor of in dividual freedom it hastened to enact an odious income tax force bill, em powering deputy collectors to enter the homes of citizens and compel them by threats of official summonses and heavy penalties to disclose their prlvc affairs.
