SOME STRIKING ARGUMENTS
A Governor and Judge Came to Blows at a
Campaign Meeting.
A Lively Contest for the United
States SenatOrship Going on in
South Carolina.

South Carolinians here are watching with
much interest the progress of the CAM
pa1gn in that state. So far there have been
10 developments against the Chicago ticket,
except here and there an announcement
that some man who has been prominently
identified with the democratic party for
years will support the republican ticket.
All the interest centers in the fight for state
officers and for United States Senator. The
campaign now on is preliminary to the
democratic primaries. which will name the
candidates for state officers, members of the
legislature and county officers.
The Main Fight for the Senatorship.
William H. Ellerbe, ex-controller general,
fas opposition for the gubernatorial nomi-
nation, but 1t amounts to little, and he will
be the next governor of the state having
the backing of Senator Tilman and Gov
ernor Evans. The fight for the United
states Senate is warming up, and there Is no
teilinS wnat may turn up before the end of
the campaign. Senator Irby, 1t will be re-
memebered. withdrew from the race when
ne saw that there was no chance for his
reelection. The candidates are Governor
Evans, Judge Joseph H. Earle and John
Duncan, the latter an ex-member of the
legislature and now clerk in the office of
the secretary of the state Mr.. Ducan has
been, and Is STILL making charges against
Governor Evans of crookedness in connec-
ton with the refunding of the bonds of the
state, but has been unable to prove any,
thing he has said. Governor Evans Is sup
posed to have the Endorsement of Senator
TIllman.
Governor and Judge Fight.
At the campaign meeting at Florence la st
week Governor Evans referred to Judge
Earle and NJ. Duncan as "f1ce dogs" fol-
lowing at his feet and initiating him.
Judge Earle did not consider this proper
language. and called upon Governor Evans
for an explanation. The explanation was
Eot satisfactory, and Judge Earle slapped
Governor Evans in the face. The blow was
returned. and the two men had fsticuff
on the platform in the presence Of a thou
sand people. They were soon separated,
rot much damage having been done. They
have been speaking from the same stand
at different places since, but the alteration
has not been renewed, although it has been
expected. Judge Earle is a circuit judge,
and Is an ex-attorney general Of the state
He ran against Tillman for governor in
1890, but afterward upheld Tillman in his
state administration. He was elected cir
cult judge for this. The general opinion Is
that unless Senator Tillman withdraws his
alleged support from Governor Evans, the
governor will come to the Senate. Senator
Irby Is supporting Judge Earle.

an overwhelming Bryan and Sewan victory

TO WORK FOR MCKINLEY.
What the National Republican Pro
tective Association VIII DO.

What the National Republican Pro-
tective Association Will Do.
The headquarters Of the National Repub-
lican Protective Association, which was
organized about two years ago, and which
Is said to have clubs in nearly every state,
have been opened in the Capital Savings
Bank building. COO F street
The presi lent of the association is James
w. Poe. ex-member of the legislature of
North Carolina, and the secretaries are j.
NJ. Lee and e. V. Davis, well-known col
ored citizens.
The purpose of the association, 1t Is an
nounced by the officers, Is to organize the
colored vote in every state south Of Della
ware for Mckinley and Hobart This will
be done by the organization Of clubs In all
the southern states.
Secretary Davis said to Star reporter
this morning that the association will do
much work. The organization of clubs, he
said, would be the feature of the work hut
lots of literature would be sent out. The
association would have good deal of this
printed itself, but would get a great deal
more from the national republican commit
tee. That which the association will print
will be particularly appropriate to the col
ored race, and will bear on the effect of
free silver on that race.
rs there much silver sentiment among
the colored people in the southern states?"
Secretary Davis was asked.
THE reports we receive from North Car
olina show lots of free silver sentiment
among the colored voters there. We will
pay particular attention to that state, and
will try to show these men the error of
their way. If it vas not for this sentiment
We would be almost sure to carry North
Carolina, and we believe we will do so any
how after We get to work among our peo-
pie down there. We will also put in lots
of work in West Virginia and Virginia, but
at the same time we will not neglect other
southern states"
Mckinley and Hobart flag will be flung
to the breeze across F street and the quar-
ters of the association will be made invit-
ing to all callers.
