HowLING DOWN COMMENCES.
Judge Earle was introduced anC
WAS received with cheers and counter
cheers for Evans.
The Judge said that he appeared te
discuss issues dispassionately and
without feeling. They should be dis.
cussed with intelligence and not fol
hurrahs from the boys. He said thai
he appeared before the people OF Fair
field II 1890. He said then that the
remedy for the evils which the people
suffered was not to be found IN the
State governments, but the relief mus
come from Congress. If there is any
hope for the country it must come fron
the Democratic party.
A vcice: You got that black eye
ye,?"
Judge Earle: You cant give me
one, sir. | come here to discuss issues
win gentlemen. My remarks are ad
dressed TO gentlemen and only gentle
men,"
The young man who made the re
marx was most etfectually squelched
and kept quiet from that on and never
opened his mouth again TO cheer
friend or foe.
Judge Earle said he had never apol
oglzed for anything he had said that
WAS right. He said in 1890 that the
Shell manifesto was false asfar as cor
ruption In the State government was
concerned. He went on to show What
had been done during his incumoen-

No matter what the Reform party
has done he had as much pride in 1t as
any South CarOllnlan, but the remedy
must come from the national leglsla,

be an income tax, So that men owning
enormous fortunes should pay taxes
in accordance with their wealth.
Another evil from which we suffer
is the protective tariff. He then went
INTO discussion of the monetary queS
