HON. J. H. EvINS FOR RENOMINATION.


EDITOR OF THE ENQUIRER: The question
of selecting candidate to represent the
Fourth Congressional District in Congress is
already attracting the attention OF the peo'
pie; but for one, I must confess that think
it matter about which there need be no per-
plexity in the nominating convention, as l
feel sure there should be no division in senti-
ment among the people. would respectful
ly urge the denomination of our present Wor'
thy representative, Hon. J. Fl. Evins, ofSpar-
tanburg.
Col. Evins is we'll known in York county.
During the last canvass he visited every Sec
tion of the county, and addressed the people
at various points, doing yeoman service in
lighting the battle for Home Rule and Re,
form. He is entitled to as much credit for
his action in the sphere in which he labored
during those memorable days, as is our worthy
Governor; and for this, if nothing more, he
is entitled to farther recognition at the hands
of grateful constituency. But farther than
this, it can be claimed for Colonel Evins that
he is a gentleman of fine attainments' dlgnl-
fed bearing and unsullied character, an hon,
or to the District be represents, and has, du-
ring his Congressional career. done nothing
to forfeit the confidence of the people ia the
high trust con6ded to him. Of his avaisbil.
ity there can be no question. Thoroughly
known throughout the Congressional District,
highly popular-for he is c.s of the people
and makes friends wherever L. goes-and a
convincing and effective public speaker, he is
eminently the proper person to bear the Dem
ocratic banner in the next campaign.
