CLUMBIA, S. G., Aug. The State
campaign OF 1894 is now thing of Tho
past. AS result of tho campaign and
tho recent meeting oftho Sigh executive
committee, IL is pretty easy TO zoe now
that by this time next week the euber.
material contest, rs far rs Messrs, El
lerbe and TIndal are concerned, will be
no longer q matter of in tercst.
1t is pretty generally conceded that
the two gentlemen named are now
doomed TO defeat in the State conven-
tlou next Thursday, and that Evans is
to bo tho Reform nominee
Ii such u result comes about, thcn the
long-iought battle narrows to q eUuare
light in the general primary between DR.
Pope and John Gary Evans. DE-. popc's
name docs not 60 before the Reform pri.
mary. If such is thu outlook-and
Evans friends claim that their is now no
longer doubt Of his receiving the nomi>-
nation-ttcn bo:h Tindal and Ellerbe
arc barred from going any further.
An entirely now Il sht will be on.
lGvans' frlends will have TO battle with
DR.. Pope's friends, who will very likely
decline TO participate in the Reform pri-
ma,ies on Saturday. The vote on Sat
urday, therefore, will tell pretty we'll
what Pope's strength is not considering
any other vote which may 60 to him, il
there be any.
Az any rate Pope, under tho circum-
stances named, will not be out of the
race by q good deal. He has made, 1t
IS understood, many friends recently by
his action in kicking out Of the traces.
Now there Is considerable doubt as to
nrI, Fl <1ol
are gong to kick out Of tho traces they
Will have TO do it by tomorrow night, for
The Reform primaries take place Satur-
Day. Ii the results of these primaries
throughout the Safe eau bs ascertalnci
on Saturday night, the result OF the State
convention on Thursday next cali he
told.
There Is good deal of silent dissa.-
is!action among the general primary I'D
vocates with regard to the Sligh commit
tees action. This may, or may not,
develop into a sentiment strong enough
to induce Tindal and Elletbs to Withdraw
their pledges, already filed.
An Evans man yesterday, leaving cut
OF the matter entirely any consideration
OF Pope's chances, said that tho whole
| thing was going to result in the nomina-
ton and election Of the folio wing ticket,
| and if the element Of doubt as to ElIer-
be's course and Pope's primary race was
| removed, all would doubtless agrse with
him:
| For GoVernOr-John Gary Evans.
Lieut.. GOvernOr-Dr. w. II. Thinner
man.
Attorney General-O. w. Buch anan.
| State Treasurer---W. Il. G.. Bates.
| Superintendent Of Education-W. D.,
MayGisld
Comptroller General--A. w. Jones
Secretary of Stated. II. Tompk ns.
A6iutant and Inspector Gen eral-
John Gary Watts.
Now as to the elect of the campaign
on the Senatorial fight, Iillman's friends
CLAIM that he comes out of the stump
battle stronger than ever. The general
opinion, however, is that tho stump
work has been mole beneficial to Butler
than ID Tillman. Buffers friends re-
gard his chances as much batter than nt
any time heretofore.
AS to the effect of the campaign on
The dispensary outlook, it is aaid by ono
who ought to know, that Governor
Tillman is fully satisfied, by his tests
OF the crowds al the meetings on the dis
pensarY, that the great body of the peo.
pie demand the dispeusary; that he ex-
poets them TO send q Legislature here
which will re-enact the law and pass a
| metropolitan police law, forcing q largo
number Of such police ON all cities where
with to enforce the law, and that they
will enact law providing f>r changes OF
venue in liquor cases.-State.
