PORTSMOUTH

SCORE by INNINGS.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1896-08-26

The speech that Uncle George Till
man made on the occasion of the laying
of the corner stone of the courthouse for
the new county of Saluda, some time
back, is still going the rounds of the
press, and deserves to be studied. The
speech was mainly in advocacy of town.
ship government. The speaker called
special attention to the fact that although
there is lots of talk about the people hav-
ing the right to choose their own officers,
as matter of fact, eleven-twelfths of all
the officers in the state are appointed
most of them by the governor and others
by other officials. Uncle George argued
that this was all wrong. The people
should be allowed to choose their own
election manager, their own township
commissioners, trial justices, and in fact
all their officers. While county govern
ment is necessary for the enjoyment of
liberty, peace and happiness, township
government is still more so. There is a
great deal of truth in what Uncle George
says about this matter. The new consti-
tuition provides for an elaborate system
of township government, and we believe
that one of the best things the people of
South Carolina can do at this time, is to
put this system in operation in every
county.

Immediately a man rose in the audi
ence and proposed q vote of thanks
to Mr.. Tillman, but there were score
of shouts of "No." The senator sat
entirely unmindful Of the turmoil that
was created for the instant, until the
chairman could call the meeting to
order and introduce ex-Congressman
Turner, of New York, who also made
silver speech.
- The New York Journal says, in
its report, that there was feature Of
Mr.. Cockran's address which caused
his admirers and supporters some
alarm, and that was wherein he began
attacking the farmers. He declared
that the silver agitation was but a con:
spiracy of the farmers. AS he said
this hand reached out and pulled bis
coat tail. Just whose hand it was
could not be told from the press seats,
but it looked strangely like that Of
Perry Belmont. Mr.. Cochran paused,
bent his head, listened to few whis'
pered words, and then begun an eulo.
gy of the farmer as the creator OF
wealth.

BRYAN OR MCKINLEY.

Notwithstanding the boasts of parti-
san papers to the contrary, it might be
well to remind the people just at this time
that whether the next president is to be
Mr.. Bryan or Mr.. Mckinley, is one that
could be answered only by the prophets
of old.
THE ENQUIRER gets great many
newspapers from all sections of the
country, and which seem to represent ev.
cry shade of political opinion. 1t has
studied these papers with the greatest
care, and while it would be pleased to be-
lieve that Mr.. Bryan is going to have a
walkover in November, it confesses that
it is unable to base such belief upon solid
and substantial grounds.
The gold standard and Republican pa
pers have described Mr.. Bryan's speech
in New York as failure. They are re-
ferring to the speech of Mr.. Cochran as a
big success. AS matter of fact, however,
Iu6T6 lS uO uOuDG Cudg OuO SOClllah uoih
onstration was gotten up for the express
purpose oftrying to counteract the tre-
mendous effect Of the Bryan demonstra-
ton of the week previous. And it failed.
This is evidenced by the fact that all the
big newspapers are Dragging shout it yet.
Had it been success they would have
left it long ago and turned their guns in
other directions.
Mark Hanna is worried. He went to
New York several weeks ago for the pur-
pose of collecting funds. Wall street was
solid for Mckinley. Hanna did not ap-
pear to be very much alarmed, and the
millionaires did not deem it worth while
to contribute. Hanna came back to New
York again last week. This time he has
assumed an air Of deeper interest. He is
telling the Wall street people that the

AT ROCK HILL TOMORROW.

The success Of the bicycle races and
other sports proposed by the Rock Hill
Athletic association sometime ago having
been prevented by inclement weather,
arrangements have, been perfected for
the carrying out of a similar programme
tomorrow-Thursday.
The first feature Of the days entertain
ment is to be a match game of baseball
between the Rock Hill and Orangeburg
teams. The Orangeburg team holds the
championship Of the state, and the Rock
Hill team has fine record. The game
has been set for II o. clock 9. m. and will
no doubt be an exciting one.
But the most interesting event by far
will be the bicycle races. All Of the fast
est southern amateurs are expected to be
among the participants, and the local
scorchers will also be in it. To the win
ners of the races, the association proposes
to give about $500 in prizes, including a
800 Rock Hill buggy, that will 60 to the
fastest rider.
The exercises Of the day are to be
wound up by german at the Casino,
with music by an Italian band.
Great crowds of people are expected
from all the surrounding towns, and to
facilitate their going and returning Messrs
E. F. Dougherty and T. B. Lumpkin
have arranged for special excursion rates
on the different railroads. People living
along the line of the o. r. & G. west Of
Rock Hill will be enabled to leave fol
their homes at p. M, 6 p. m. and at
a. m. next morning. A big time Is ex-
pected and the occasion will no doubt be
largely attended.
