Gov. Gary said in his speech at
Hampton the other day that this WAS
a campaign Of men and not of meas
ures. We thought the motto Of the
''refOrmers" was measures, not men.
But it may be interesting to many to
hear from one as high up in the coun-
ellis of the "reformers' as Gov. Gary,
that it is men and not measures or
principles that ~e are having all this
furore and excitement about. It is re-
ally refreshing. We have heard Seve-
raj strong "reformers' say that they
preferred Sheppard to Tillmau, but it
was the measures they wanted. 1t
is grand and praiSeworthy to make
battle for principles, but-"you know
the rest

The campaign in this State opened
last Tuesday at Barnwell. We pub
lish condensed report Of the meeting
at Hampton. The Speeches at all Of
these places were about the same. At
Barnwell, Hampton and Beaufort the
attendance was small, the order good
and very little enthusiasm manifested.
At Walterboro the meeting was not
large but exceedingly disorderly. The
bowling down process was tried on
Col. Youmans, but without avail.
Both sides are satisfied with the re-
suits and the impressions made. The
Herald and News hopes that feeling Of
satisfaction will continue, even on and
until after the August primary. There
is no reason why it should be other
wise.

In the recent chapter of deplorabIe
physical disturbances that have afli!ct-
ed humanity, none have been more
frightful in suddenuess and relentless
fury than that on Sunday morning, the
9TH instant, When two cloud-bursts pre-
cipjtated :, volume of water between
Oil Citv and Titusvil!c which quickly
changed the peaceful valley into vale
of death. The flood Of water caused the
breaking Of dam and the escape OF
pent-up waters, which in the mad rush
overturned oil and benZine tanks.
The escaping oil soon covered the
surface Of the swelling stream, and
either from the lightning or from burn
ing coal from al engine passing the
bridge. the oil was iguited and the wa
ter soon became a seething, surglng
flood of flame, carrying death and de-
s.ruction for eighteen miles; for two
miles of which railroads, factories, re-
tineries and residences were all de-
stroyed. Terrific explosions of oil wells
were heard, the lurid flames and smoke
filing the air. The telegraphic report
further stated that many were pros
ti.ted by the shock never to rise, while
those who could escaped to the highest
points. The dreadful alternative OF
burning to death in their houses or
drowning in sea Of fire was before the
doomed inhabitants, and many rushed
into the water Some barely escaped
with clothing and hair burned off and
with sight:ess eyes.
Over hundred lives are known to
be lost and many others are missing,
of which a number are children. The
loss to this Pennsylvania valley in
property it is estimated will reach up
wards of S2,0O0,O00.

THE WORK AT MINSEAPOLIS.


Harrison and lteid-not Tom Reed,
but WhiteIaw Reid-is the outcome OF
the Minneapolis convention. \ good
ticket for the Democrats to beat.
This ticket should unite the South IN
its defeat. Harrison is pledged to the
Force bill. The Republicans are not a
happy family, although Mr.. Blaine
says all true Republicans will forget
their differences aud unite to elect the
ticket.
Mr.. Reid will hardly add strength to
the ticket. He is editor Of the New
York Tribune, the paper once edited by
Horace Greeiy, who was also i candI-
date for the Presidency.
1t will be IN all probability, Cleve-
land against Harrison. The signs OF
the times at present look as if Cleveland
could easily defeat Harrison this year.
There are many prominent Republl-
cans who are not satisfied with the
work at Minneapolis.
The platform says nothing about free
coinage of silver, but intlmates very
strongly the passage Of a Force bill,
and demands the use Of both gold and
silver as standard money and that all
money issued by the government have
the same debt paying power.
The Harrison forces were We'll organ
izeG, and then he had the advantage OF
an army of office holders who Of course
gave their influence to Harrison. The
small vote received by Blaine and the
large vote gwen Mckinley was perhaps
due to the fact that the Blaine men
saw their weakness and thought tc
make stampede to Mckinley, perferr
ing him to Blaine, but the Harrison
men did not stampede. They knew
their strength and held theil
ground, and Harrison was nominated
on the first ballot. Reid WAS nomi'
mated by acclamation and the whole
was made unanimous.
The Democrats will hold their con
vention next week at Chicago.
