TINDAL'S CANDIDACY
For the GOvern0rship of South Caro-
OIinn Has Upset Calculations.

Columbia S. c., June 10.-(SpeciaI. 1.-The
entrance of Secretary of State Tndal into
the gubernatorial contest has turned topSy-
turvy the calculations and predictions of all
our political seers. 1t will be remembered
that early in the spring Mr.. rindal was
generally spoken of as a candidate ana
that he attended several meetings and de-
Iiyered speeches OF a mild and lnotfensive
character compared to the somewhat parti-
san ones of young MIR Gary Evans.
Later on Mr. Tindal published letter
in which he gave out the impression that
he would not be candidate, md for two
months urged peace and unity ana nlu-
tuaI forgiveness of sins between the polltl-
cal factions. His utteranceS were Regarded
as remarkably liberal, and assuaS'ng to
the existing strife and bitterness between
South Carolinians, considering that they
emanated from man who nad been origl-
nally and persistently identified with the
Illman agitation. Suddenly two weeks
ago Mr.. Tindars name appeared in the
way of a suggestion i'll q number of re-
form county weel6lies and The Manning
Times, a leading reform paper of the east
ern part OF the state, published in Claren-
don, Mr.. Tindai'S county, printed a strong
editorial urging Mr.. Tindal to take the
field.
1t almost seemed that there had been a
preconcerted arrangement among Illlman-
lie papers of a less violent tendency to
boost him and the belief is that lie will
command the support of peace-iovinS Illl-
NANTES throughout the state well
attract encourage from many conSery-
atVes.
Mr.. Tindal is n scholarly man with a Eu-
Topean education, suave in mis- manners
and good speaker. 1t is claimed by many
persons however, that he is imbued with
advanced socialistic notions ana The proba-
bility is that he Will prove an intense advo-
cate Of the dspensary scheme ami other Of
the Tillman ideas regarded by the opposing
faction most radical
Notwithstanding Mr.. TndaPs entry, pres
ent Indications are that John Gary Ev&xs
still has a good lead and Ellerbe S chances
viii be more impaired by TindaPs candidacy
than his. Evans has had nothing to say
since the supreme court nullifiad the dis
rensary. The opinion still prevails to some
extent that the dtspenSarias viii be re-
opened the moment the composition of the
supreme court is changed by Justice elect
cary taking his seat in July, 10 which the
fact that county dispensers are merely re-
tired en- half pay, as it were, lends color,
and If this surmise should prove true it VIII
have the effect of a tremendous boost for
Evans who, after Tillman, is the Recognized
dispensary exponent.

the railroad track seemed to become the
general meeting place for them. The little
station soon covered with them Inc
trains crushed hundreds and every engineer
opened his sand box when he struck the
locust zone. To have made the driving
wheels catch without sand would have been
impossible
When the train in question drew up at
Ayenel station this. morning there were d
few locusts aboard They had peen COM
ing into the train for five minutes, pul not
in such numbers as to cause any lnconVen-
ienca excant TO the more timid. Those who
had no fear of them enjoyed catching them
and eXaming their wings ana WonueiahS
at the glazing, red eyes
The heat had caused almost every window
in the train to be opened. When the Train
came to stop the passengers leaned oul
to look at the hundreds or thousalus VI 'ii0
locusts the ground
Sxyarmed Into the Train.
They would have been satisfied with thls'
but the locusts were not before TIC pc
sengers were aware what was happening
the pests had swarmed up the SIDES OF the
cars, over the platforms ana through me
windows and doors into the cars Ihey
e,,, about in the cars rested on the seats,
which were resigned to them, and craWled
along the floor. An invasion OF mice INTO
a female seminary would be nothing to the
scene which followed.
Women screamed ana Stoou Oh Lie Sedto
with their skirts drawn up so as TO AVOID
immediate contact with the crawling OBJ
iects They soon had to let go their skirts
and pay attention to keeping the locusts
from their hats and faces. The more tim;d
passengers started for the doors, but at this
moment the car started. The rush of wind
seemed to disconcert the pests. Those on
the outside of the cars dropped off, and
those inside chung closely to the seats or
floors, and were soon thrown out of the
windows by the train hands, who started
through the cars.
All the way to Point Pleasant the locusts
were being dropped along the track as the
cars sped on. An old rairoader on the train
said he had been in half dozen wrecks,
had been held up twice in the west and
thought he had had about every other eXpe-
rience a ralroader was exposed to- but this
event was d new one to him.

England as the apple of Sodom to their lips,
but which they resented and scorned.
Mr.. Power, republican, of Montana, ar
gued against putting wool on the free list
Mr.. Higgins, of Delaware, took the floor
to oppose free wool. He had been speak
ing for over two hours, and had entirely
lost sight of the tariff and of free WOOL
but had discoursed upon the Canadian ques-
ton, the Hawaiian question, the steamship
line between Vancouver and emma, the
smuggling of Cinnamon over the Canadian
border into the Uuited States, and varl-
Gus other matters, when he incidentally
referred to the United States civil war
Just then Mr.. Harris, who had evidently
been an unwilling listener, broke out with
this question: "And what answer did the
senator from Delaware give when that is
sue of war was presented, a good many
years ago."
81 gave the same answer that I give
now was the reply.
Mr.. Hoar, who had been listening, broke
in with an inquniry as to what the question
was.
Some War Talk.
"The senator from Delaware" Mr.. Har
ris said "was suggesting that this bill was
issue of war between the sections. He
had departed from the wool schedule and
from the tariff bill and was discussing the
issues of 1861; and / was a little curious
to know what he did then"
II did not go to Mexico" Mr. Higgins
interjecte6.
"a great many northern men at that
time Mr.. Harris went on ignoring the
remark, "shouldered their muskets and
went into the army. What did the senator
do?"
''Shouldered my musket for a little time
said Mr.. Higgins.
II suppose it was for a very little time
Mr. Harris remarked in bitter Tone "and
! hope that he will shoulder it for still
shorter time in the senate hereafter in ref
erence to this tariff question"
THAT answer Mr.. Higgins retorted.
'may or may not be worthy of the
ator from Tennessee. / was presenting, in
a serious argument on serious question,
matters absolutely germane to the bill. l
was showing that the ultimate issue and
outcome of this conflict was, as in 1861,
whether we should have two flags and two
countries; and | say now that we should
not adopt a policy that would create In
the north the same conflict that we had
then in the south.
Mr. Higgins then went on with his speech
and finished it.
Mr. Dolph, of Oregon, declared that with
wool on the free list the sheep industry of
Oregon would be doomed.

a number or replies to letters sent to every

the governor who was defeated for con-

Colonel Tillman has not expressed an in
