thousand stands of arms, two million

New York, Aug. 29.-The Financier,
commenting on the weekly bank state
ments, says the excess of reserve is
much above the average at this sea-
son for long series of years preced-
ing the panic Of 1893. The heavy in
flow of foreign gold aggregating near
Iy fifteen millions had marked effect
and money rates promise to fall ma
terially. No doubt imports continue
until the legitimate demand for money
is satisfied. Nothing but an unfore-
seen panic can put rates back to the
figure held for several weeks past.

OF Defeat.
By Special Wire to the Sunday Light.
Columbia, S. c., Aug. 29.-Of all the
moves that have ever been made on a
political checker-board the most strik-
ing were witnessed in South Carolina
last night. Up to within the last
hour, the first after midnight, the Off
cial returns contained in specials to
the state, with one. small county mis-
sing, could not show who would be
the winner in the senatorial primary.
At 1870 the missing link was gathered
and the result is that Evans has to en-
ter second race in which the con-
sentative vote, quiescent in this con-
test, will come out, and his defeat
by Judge Earle is deemed certain. A
total vote of over 10000, one of the
largest ever polled in the state, has
been accounted for in the complete
returns. Evans gets 3S,391, Earle 3d.
9S3, and Duncan $500. The combined
vote of Duncan and Earle is 39,351-
$50 more than Evans. The vote in
the second primary will be heavier.
Duncan's vote is almost certain to
go to Earle, along with the heretofore
silent vote. Evans seems to be very
blue.
McSweeney is an easy winner for
lieutenant governor, Mayfield almost
doubles Robinson for superintendent
of education. Watts defeats Rich
burg for adjutant general by several
thousand. Ellerbee is overwhelming
ly nominated for governor.
The second state primary to decide
between Evans and Jos. III. Earle, the
next highest, will be held Tuesday

Now what are the people saying
about these three gentlemen, Noon
an represents sound currency and

resent Mexican dollars.
Noonan represents American hon
estty, American solvency, Aner1cqn
wages, American industry, while Nc
Rae and Slayden are representatives
of country that pays 12h cents a
day wages.
Why should Slayden attempt at
this time to be candidate? The peo-
pie say it is that he merely takes his
chance, as a gambler, in the political
rush; if Bryan is elected he will COM
mand the pie counter.
McRae is representative or q
branch of the Democratic party-his
party has been swallowed up by
Bryan.
The good people of this city have
but one duty before them, that is to
return Judge Noonan.
Judge Noonan is TuNe American,
he believes III the principles of the Re
publican party; he believes in the best
money in the world )for the American;
in the best wages lof the world for
the American; in the greatest protec-
ton in the world for the American;
in the fullest freedom. political and,
religious, for the Americana; Judge
Noonan is an American from the
soles of his feet to the crown of his
head.
No free trade, no free silver for A.
mericans. We want the best money
the world can afford for our people:
we want the highest wages for our
