THAT Mckinley is the choice Of a
large majority Of the republican vot-
ers of Wisconsin for president is
indisputable; thata squad Of republic
can bosses are averse to his nomin-
alton there is strong suspicion, which
leads the Milwaukee Telegraph to
warningly exclaim: Let no man go
from Wisconsin this year TO sit on a
high branch and watch for loaded
wagon, as buzzard watches for u
carton, and then, with his mouth
wide open for the federal worm, come
back and build up sentiment on
the claim chat through his efforts
Wisconsin was steered to promin-
ence, and the least that can be given
him is 4 foreign ministershfp."

of all classes, and he was sorry that the
business men of ofYorkville were not to hear
hem discussed. He illustrated the gener-
al theory ofthe order by relating circum-
stance that was recently witnessed among
some sparrows on the streets of Augusta.
A sparrow was accidentally besmeared
with paste. Other sparrows, however, by
wetting their wings with water, moistened
the paste sufficiently to relieve their
mate Of his predicament. Men should
have sense enough to assist each other do
as the birds, at least, and the Alliance is for
the benefit of affording the opportunity
for such assistance.
President Keitt took up most of his
time in discussing the financial question.
He had but little to say about the politics
of the Alliance. What he said was more
question of measures than men. The
Alliance had agreed upon certain prin-
ciples and formulated certain demands.
It stands for these principles and demands
above party or personal considerations.
The free and unlimited coinage of silver,
he said, was one Of the demands, and he
went on at length to explain the justice OF
the proposition. He argued that the prin-
cipal need of the people of this country is
greater volume of circulation, and this
is to be Secured not only by the free
coinage of silver, which of itself is made
quate; but also by the issuance of legal
tender notes. The fight from now on, he
proclaimed, il for re-adjustment OF the
| currency laws of the nation.
Though a more extended synopsis
would be interesting, could the space
be spared, a full report under the cir
cumstances would not be fair to either
speaker.

The Abbeville Press and Banner OF
April l is to hand with an interesting
sketch of Editor Hugh Wilson's expe-
rience Of 81 years in journalism. The
story occupies six columns of small type
and is delightfully."- entertaining through
ont. We feel as if we would like TO
reproduce it, and we would do so were
it not for the fact that the general reader
who does not know Mr.. Wilson, would
not care for it. But, all the same, this
article will prove of great value to the
publishers throughout the State. Editor
Wilson is undoubtedly the best equipped
newspaper man in South Carolina, and
his experiences, as related in the article
mentioned, may be taken by all OF his
brother journalists, young and DID, as
a HISTORIAN text book. We hope to see
The Press and Banner continue to pros

CARD FROM MIR. ]. &. LILLY.

Mr.. Editor: Last weeks issue of THE EN-
oUIRER contains q card from John May In
reference to his conviction in the court OF
sessions for violating the dispensary law. Mr.,
May states that whatever he may have done
at other times, he was not guilty In this case.
The issue before the court and jury was which
told the truth-John May or myself; and
after being instructed by Judge Witherspoon
to give the prisoner the benefit Of every reac
sonable doubt, he was found guilty as charged
in the indictment and as testified to by me.
can can, therefore, well afford to Ignore Mr..
May and his card !; but desire to state TO
the public how l became connected with this
case. did buy the whisky as testified to by
me; but was certainly not voluntary wit
ness, and never knew for considerable time
how 1t came about that I should have been
summoned as O witness in the case. My name
was given to the grand jury or solicitor by
some other party or parties. / did not then,
and have never since desired TO appear In
the case as a witness against Mr.. May but
when put upon my OATH there was nothing
left for me to do but swear the truth, even II
1t did hurt Mr.. May. AS 10 receiving twenty
dollars in the event John May was convicted,
1 have to say, that did not then, and do not
not received 1t, and under no circumstances
would consent to receive anything more than
my witness fee Of 81 and mileage.
II could have been bribed, could have mad
of the way. l was solicited by one who pur-
ported to have come from Mr.. May, TO keep
out of the way on the day of the trial, and Mr.
May, ON THE DAY OF THE TRIAL, earnest.
ly entreated me to swear that l never bought
or paid for the whisky, and appealed TO my
sympathy for his family in the event OF his
conviction. - d.,
MIR. May says that no one who knows him
would call him q fool l am not interested
enough in this matter to argue the question;
but 1t is to be hoped that his reputation ior IN
telligence stands higher than his reputation
for veracity Those who were prsSsent. durihg h
testified that he had never sold liquor unlaw-
fully, and when this startling statement came
from the doctors lips, 1t provoked smile from
the most serious.
Upon the whole, think the public Will con:
cur in the opinion that Mr.. May has gotten on
very light indeed, and Is still ahead OF the
game, 'on velvet as it were. Of course the
public will regret that the doctor Is not myor-
ably impressed with the dispensary law, but
it must console itself with the reflection that:
