and repeated once more their o!t,told
tales before one of those small but en-
thusiastic" audiences, as apologetic and
charitable newspaper men sometimes
say of theatrical performances Where
the gate receipts scarcely pay board
bills. Speeches were made by Stokes,
Tindal, Whitman, Ellerbee, Egars, But
Ter and Tillman.
Gen. Ellerbe got vigorous and LAID
the ring business on John Gary with 8
trowel. He first touched up the Spar
tanburg end of the State by showing
up Gantts inconsistency in packing
that county for the Aiken man. lie

dealing against the sage of the Pied.
mont Headlight in this wise:
Can't wrote me that his county was
for me, and that it was impossible for
him to carry it for any lawyer. Yet
with these Misrepresentation and lies
they have taken that county from me,
and it's no less than robbery. That is
certainly evidence of ring; and be-
lieve that the rank and lille OF the peo.
pie will smash it as we smashed the old
ring. One of my friends told ne here
today that they had already packed
this county for John Gary Evans.
The Buckley" braves didn't relish
this plain talk worth copper, and
they began to flare up at the intrepid
Marion swamp fox.
"Who told you that?" asked one of
the hosts.
"Give US his name," shouted several
others.
But the General kept that to himstlf,
saying that he did not believe the Ber-
kleyites could be packed.
"Pm cripple" cried the irrepressiole
Ham Murray, "and can't be packed"
And as he went on peppering Evans the
bumptious boys in front yelled, Look
out john "You look like a Governor
already"

Evans we're elected he would put all
his family In Office. He did not think
all the Reform plums belonged to the
Garys and Eganses.
The Aiken game cock had his gatts
on today and he sank them deep into
Gen. Ellebee. He spoke with probable
significance of some men who held sal
aries sitting in bomb proofs in Colum. :.
bia during the Darlington troubles,
while he was standing at the Cover
nor's back.
This was greeted with tremendous
applause from the Dennis family.

Evans at Gen. Ellerbe.
The General tried to explain that he
had been a member, but had to quit
Evans waltZed into him, declaring that
there was something rotten in g. man
who joined the Alliance and than quit
it. He said that Ellerbe, il elected,
would give all his brothers office. He
apologized for spanking little Willie
and putting the darling infant to
Sleep" adding that Ellerbee made 1t
necessary by whining.
Evans proceeded to make a very Sc
rieus charge against the Supreme
Court for their decision against the
dispensary law. A gray haired man on
the stand asked if the judges didn't get
a little whiskey.
81 expect they did get little through
the back door," shouted Evans. "Judg-

they were ali drunk, except Pope
Gen. Buffers speech contained a
statement about the expenditures of
the dispensary. He said:
I have presented extracts from Mr..
Traxler's report for the quarter ending
January 81, 1894, on former occasion,
but the facts have never been grouped
as l have them now. If they can be
satisfactorily explained, l would be
very glad to have it done, es l do not
wish to make an unjust accusation
against any man.
Although Mr.. Traxler may be pri-
marily responsible, and l have no rea-
son to doubt his honesty or integrity,
Governor Tillman's name is signed to
the report and of course ne must stand
by it. The following is the statement
of assets and liabilities for the quarter
ending January 81, 1894:
