"I doubt that ,John." said another.
Gel Tindal declared that when your
own newspapers and leaders begin tc
slander and abuse each other the unity
of the Reform party is in danger. He
spoke vigorously for party harmony
and magnanimity towards the con
qupred Ants"
Your friend, Mr.. IIemphill,' he
said, "made the lnsinuation. a mean
InsinuatioD, that from my speech at
Hampton he believed that l had an
understanding with the Ants. | said
no such thing" Favorable comments
from oue portion Of the crowd were
several times interjected. Col. Tindal
made his dispenSary argument.
Voice-If you are Governor, and
believe you will be, will you enforce
the dispensary law?
II will to the letter." replied the
speaker. (Cheers.) Il believe am the
only man who can entorce it, he said
"because can unite more of the moral
forces of the State IL its support than
any other man (Cheers.)
"TEot out little John" was the cho-
rus from the colonies. Mr.. Evans
came forward and was welcomed with
twice or three times as much applause
as any other gubernatorial candidate
for Governor, but not nearly equal to
Tillman's.
Evans said this race started out with
four horses.
Voice: "We have EN- yet
Evans: "No we haven't. Pope bolteG

ter.) He shot good deal OF his ammu-
milton at Ellerbe for attacking him and
at Pope and Jindal for trying to do
away with the Bsform con INVENTION. He
asserted that the Conservatives were
playing 'possum and showed where
they are still alive and scheming to
kill the Reform movement. He refer
red to Haskell's letter of few days
ago. Senator Evans said that the peo-
pie pay merchants more money than
they do lawyers and took hand pri-
mary on it.
Voice: "Now ask all who haven't
paid merchants what they owed to
hold up their hands" Naughter.)
He charged that the newspapers all
hate him. The News and Courier
won't even publish his speeches.
The correspondent of it told him
that it does not print what be
sends down. He said that no matter
whether the Conservatives like the
Dlspensa1y law or not it is going to be
enforced ii it takes the whole State of
South Carolina to do it. (Applause. y
He said if there is any back down on
the Dispensary it is goodbye to Re-
form. He said the Darlington war
was premeditated and asserted that
800 rifles were shipped to Darlington
from Charleston on the day before the
constables went to Darlington. This
was plain evidence of premeditation.
He said, in response to remark, that
be is going to "step into Tlllman's
shoes as sure as there is God in heaV-

of both sides have been stabbing him
in the back.
RICHBOUEG, WATTS, ETC.
Tne small frecrackers entertained
the people VINO renamed 10 see Lhelr
gyratlons There was spat between
General Richbourg and Colonel Watts.
A man in the audience asked Colonel
Watts if he had always been Tillman-
ite. He answered that in 1890 he voted
for General Bratton for Governor.
Colonel Watts made the usual charges
against General Richbcurg.
The latter answered that Colonel
Watts was not at the Executive Man
sion when Governor TilIman was in
danger and asked why did Governor
Tillman relieve Watts of the command
of the troops at the Penitentiary and
put him (Rlchbourg) IN command?
The Governor, he SAID, had more conf.
dence IN him because he was an old
soldier.
This ended the speaking and the cam
paign of 1894 passed into history, this
being the last meeting to be held.
