to obtain my seat. | should prefer to
have died on the field of battle than to
have gone through what | did then
with my mouth closed and ny hands
tied The Senator declared that he
had never been identified with either
party in State politics and never ex-
pected to. The papers Of both sides
criticised his conduct. The COnserva-
tives had criticised him for standing
by his principles OF fifteen years held
long before the Alliance was born or
thought of, in his fight against the re-
peal of the Sherman act. He denied
the sIander that Democratic Senators
had been bought. The newspaper re-
porters and editors, he said, had not
done the Senate tariff bill justice and
had failed to give the bills true pur-
port. Then he declared that the bill
was one of tie best ever presented, and
announced himself in favor of the re-
peal Of the 10 per cent. tax on State
banks as measure of financial relief.

throat. You can all hear me it you'll
sit down.
The Governor, defending the August
convention, asked: "You want for
Governor man as much like me as
you can get, who will keep the wagon
in the middle of the road. Now, do
you want to give the Ants chance to
come in and determine who of the Re-
form candidates shall govern you? If
that Reform committee, which meets
in Columbia tonight, should be so
treacherous as to call off the Reform
convention, then you will have to
watch and pray, too, to save your
selves.
The Governor put in a few words for
the nispensary, characterizlng its en-
actment as compromise between
common sense and fanaticiSm," and
explaining his reasons for reopening it.
