Howled at by a Few, Who Succeed ia
Making the Meeting the Most Disgrace
full of The Campaign.
WMNsBaRo, S. c., Aug. 5.-The
campaign meeting here yesterday was
q disgrace tothe county and the State.
There was more rowdylsm IN the crowd
thsn at any other meeting up to date,
8 circumstance deplored by the order
ly, law-abiding cluZens OF the county
without regard 10 political faction.
Six or eigh. men not only made dis
gushing spectacles of themselves by
howling AZ speakers with whose sentl-
ments lney dld not agree, but by their
conduct brought ooium upon their
county and Slste. In justice, 1t must
be SAID, that the assembiage ass whole
was attentive and anxious to hear, but
9 little coterie of half a dozen Or more
men moi only would permit them 10
listen, but almost preclpltaLed hghS.
The most charitable thing TO say OF
them is that tney were drunk, tor 1t
would be hard TO imagine how men In
their right minds would create such q
disturbance over nothing. The same
speeches were made that have been
made throug hout the Slate, and which
have been listened to quietly and
decently elsewhere, not word was ut
tered To justify the outrageous and
riotous conduct of these few men.
When the chief of police attempted to
quiet two of them. resistance was made
by their friends TO their arrest and 1t
took the combined efforts OF Governor
EYans, Sheriff Ellison and other
peaeeable citizens 70 quiet them and
prevent s 6ght, though nobody want
ed to fight Them. rney seemed bent
solely on creating disturbance and
they abundantly succeeded in dlsgrac-
ing themselves and making so called
campaign of education q howhng
farce IS far as Fairfield County is con-
ceraed.
There were probably 400 people a:
the meeting. The court house could
not hold them, so the candidates spoke
nom an improyised platform IL the
court house yard IN the orciling sun.
GOVERNOR EVANS OPENS.
The meeting was opened with pray
ar by Rev. Mr. Ferns and Chairman
Lyles expressed the hope that the
meeting would be 8 quiet and orderly
one. He first introduced Governor
Evans. He said the Office OF Cover
nor was the greatest and most honor
able that the people could bestow upon
any man. While the office Of Unlled
States Senator had larger salary II
was not s position of greater honor.
He asked for the office Of United
States Senator believing that he knew
Ihe needs of the people and the farm
ers. Eight years ago manifesto was
adopted IN South Carolina, which has
become the law of the Democratic par
". He proposed TO discuss those Is
sues and not insinuations Iaat may DC
made. You know aI ABOUT those IN
stnnations. he SAID ne hoped these
Iellews could prove that he was to re-
caiye any rebates. lie SAID ne would
take time to say something about the
latest insinuations, which were that
he wanted to buy from hrm that of
tered bribes. he sad the man (Huo-
pelD came to him and said ne could
supply liquors at from 5 TO 15 cents
less gallon than the State was pay
ing. He told the agent 70 put hls
prices In writing. He did so and the
offers are now In the drawer In his
Office. He said. he told the Comnls-
aoner of the offer, and he was told OF
an offer to give Large rebates. Ee did
not urge that liquor be bought from
this agent and that was all ne mad to
say aDout it. The attempt to sneer al
me even is like cutie fish which
about to be caught jets out black
scum 70 hide Itself. 1 defy any man
TO show that I ever got one cent from
the Dispensary or any other depart
mant of tne government that was not
Justly due me as an officer and honest
man.
But we are to show our fitness to
represent you In The national govern
menr. You must not think mat De-
cause yoR won victory III the State
that you have won the fight. Don't
think you can send man lnere not IN
sympathy with you. You don't want
to take frozen vlperS 20 your bosom.
Self preservation Is the first Law OF na-
lure and you farmers must stand To-
gesher ana put men IN the national
halls of legislature who represent your
views.
The opponents of the farmers de-
manls cossed us and called US anar-
chists. But we have made the Demo
cratic party adopt our platform and
our demands are the principles OF tnal
party.
Everything in this State depends
opop Lne price OF cotton but II has
been going down and down. Why
Ii
A voice: @That's what we want to
know"
Governor Evans continuing said
that the supply OF money regulated
the price. He went on 10 say that
when he got 10 Washington he and
Ben Tllman would have three eyes
on the scoundrels. They are trying
TO insinuate that Tillman IS against
me, bur he said, II know you. What
tney say goes LII one ear and comes out
The other" (Cheers.)
The question OF free silver simply
means we want 10 put more money IN
circulation, increase the price OF cot
ton and other products and help you
pay your oeDts. But they say lhis
wI Run gold out OF the country. But
Is that gold herei No. Cleveland

bonds to keep S15O, 900, UuO of gold IN
