LEGISLATIVE CANDIDATES SHY.

men will not care to risk losing the
chances Of future preferment by leading
what they fear is a forlorn hope.
1t Is for this reason that Senator Butler
insists so strenuOusly ona separate box IN
the democratic primaries in which the
popular choice for senator may be regis
tered, and by the result of which both
candidates bind themselves to abide.
Such proposition, although the primary
has always until now been one of his con-
slant hobbies, the governor declines. pro-

he eXpauates on the necessity Of a joining
OF the south and west against the greedy
east, and his enemies interpret him as
nominating himself as the national stan
dard-bearer OF new party looking to
this union for strength.
BUTLER's REGRErFUL TALK
Senator Butler, in a regretful sort Of
way, speaks of the differences between
himself and Grover Cleveland on Ques-
tons of finance and mildly defends the
President as an honest, if misguided.
politician. He urges the necessity OF
state banks of issue and manfullV champ
ions the tariff bill as the best measure of
the kind that has been before congress
since the war. The senator too. intimates
that the country could stand a larger
greenback issue. But these arguments
are not the burden of his song. They are
merely incidental to his warfare on the
disPeuSdrV scheme and the charges Of
corruption in connection with it. which

THE RACE FOR GOVERNOR.
The race for governor is frolic confined
to reformers. They have arranged a plan
for a state convention to which DELEGATES
are TO be elected from clubs whose mem
bership shall be composed exclusively OF
those who will agree to stand By the re
form nominees. This convention will
meet on Aug. a. and nominate either
Controller General Ellerte a Young
farmer of Marion county, or Secretary of
State lindal, an Old farmer OF Clarendon
county, or State Senator John Gary
Evans, young lawyer of Aiken COUNT
or Clerk of the Seuale Pope, an old DOCTOR
OF Newberry county
Then in the primaries of Aug p. when
all the democrats, including anti-Till-
NANTES, have right to vote. the reform
erS OF high and low degree will support
this nominee to a man. 1t VIII be seen

and have arranged 10 eliminate their op-
