ton. He is a director of the Farm
ers' and Mechanics Bank Of this city.
In 1882 he was elected to the

In 1890, through not candidate

prosperity of the people. This, |
am sure, is the sentiment which has
been expressed by the Reformers and
which has resulted in my nomination.
There has been one law which has
been fought more strenuously than
any other in the history Of cur legls-
lation, that is the Dispensary law
The overwhelming sentiment of the
people of South Carolina is that that
law has in view the happiness of
the whole people, and the voice of
the people must be carried out, let
the consequences be what they may.
(Cheers The people have spoken
by their representatives, and 81 per
cent. of the honest white men of
South Carolina have spoken in favor
of it. Gentlemen, that voice shall

peace and harmony are the great
objects to be desired and to be OBJ
tanned by all civilized governments,
yet you must recognize that in South
Carolina, where there has been but
one party, such an idea is an ideal
conception. There can be no such
thing as unity in the midst OF poll
tica! dissensions. Our principle is
that the majority of the white citizens
must rule and the minority must sub

cause of dissension to-day IN the
politics of South Carolina.

The speech is regarded as one OF
the best which Mr. Evans has ever
