Albany Herald: AS a friend of Hon.
H. G. Turner and one OF his humble sup
porters in his senatorial race. the Herald
| would like very much to have him 20 to
Atlanta and make another speech-this
time a campaign speech. When Mr.. Tur-
ner spoke in Atlanta on June
30 he was embarrassed by a
combination of circumstances. Con

was in a state Of uncertainty, and Mr.
! Turner was himself a member of the con
! ference committee to which the differ
| ences between the two houses of the con
gress on the tariff had been referred. And
| then he had been invited to Atlanta by
the chamber of commerce of that city,
and his text was given him in the,
invitation Instead of making a campaign
speech for himself, as most politicians

given him by the business men of At

read him out of the Democratic party, we
want to see him go to Atlanta and make a

SOUTH CAROLINA.
Aiken Times, Candidate Evans

enough Offices to go around.
News and Courier: "Tillman," says
Irby, is as good d democrat as lives and
will never leave the party 1t is worth
the attention OF all observant citizens
that Messrs. Irby and Tifman are pre-
pairing to climb back into the democratic
wagon. The popuist streak in the west
is growing dim, and the move in that
direction does not promise to pay.
Columbia Register: The latest rumor is
to the effect that the conservative demo
Gratis feel unable to mold up their end Of
the line in Joint discussion with the re-
formers and are going to call in outside
aid. Bourke Cochran, John B. Gordon,
Charles f. Crisp and other distinguished
