Beckett, B. Belliman, N.C. Boylston, G.L. Buist, Wm. Byrne, Jas. Conner, W.A. Courtenay, F.W. Dawson, Hugh Ferguson, John Gonzales, T.A. Huguenin, James Kelly, Charles Kerrison, Jr., H.M.

Although the minutes extend from December 28, 1875 through November 5, 1878, there is also a list of the Executive Committee and Delegates to the State Convention for the Election of 1880. The Democratic Party dominated the political scene in post-Reconstruction South Carolina from 1877 to the 1970s and was a much more conservative body more analogous to the present day Republican Party.
