He touched on the pension question,
saying that he had always been con-
servative in regard to pension legisla-
tion. But when a man had been put
upon the rolls by the deliberate act of

never be disturbed in his rights except
upon the most unquestionable evidence

GOV. MI KINLEY
was introduced by Capt. Carson in few
well.chosen words. He looked in silence
a moment upon the sea of upturned
faces and upon the patient thousands
pressed in solid mass on the side walks
and streets surrounding the Court House
lawn. 1t was magnificent audience,
such an one as had never honored an
other man in Highland county. In an
instant all was still as death, except the
wind as it whispered to the dancing
foliage. Quietly and calmly the Gov.
ernor began. Soon his voice gathered
strength, and, although he had talked
to many immense crowds he paid es.
pecial tribute to this one, and expressed
a hope, almost against hope, that he
might be able to make them all hear
him. In this, however, he was attempt.
ing what even his splendid vocal powers
were unable to accomplish. Four or
five thousand of those who were nearest
heard this wonderful speech, but there
were probably as many more who did

The Governor dwelt very forcibly up
on the fact that the government and its
citizens were passing through very &c

should rise above party considerations
This year politics was business and bus
mess was politics. Party names should
be lost sight Of. AS widely separated as
the two parties were on vital issues both

one was wrong. We should honestly
endeavor to find out which was right
and give that party our vote whether we
had hitherto voted with it or not. He
was not here to advise the people, but
to advise with them. From all candid
kminds comes the inquiry, whats the
matter with the country? What's the
cause OF our distress?" Once knowing g
the cause, we'll soon find remedy.

should be the equal of every other dol
