Columbia Register; There is talk Of Tai
bert entering the senatorial race. There is
doubtless no foundation for it, as Mr.. 1albert
Is not likely to give up a surety of reelection
race for senator. Besides he is one of Till
man S hackers and supporters.
Columbia State: The entire vote cast in
primaries on Saturdaywill hardly reach l5.-
600 1t may be as low as $4,000 1 he reform
vote in 1892 in the race between Sheppard
and llllman, exceeded 50 coo and according to
the reform organs, there have been large

which he has bowed to Gov. Tillman at every
stage.

Evans forces In Charleston TO be fair and i'm

won the first fall at least And right here
we would like TO remark in Mr.. Evans hear

state which has without opposition sent a
SOLID Evans delegation to the reform cOnVen.

Evans, Evans should be solid for Charleston
These be strange times and there Is nothing
like casting an anchor to windward. Mr.
