form faction. he stood where he did
IN 1890. He was Democrat. He did
como before all and asked for peace.
Continuing he said: "We don't want
any more Quarrellipg. We want to
stand together. We want to DO neigh
bors, to reform these things that need
reformation" He did hope South
Carolina would present solid front
and work together for such reforms as
wero needed. He said he heard moth
ing of free silver in the public cam
paigns of 1890. 1892 or 1891, although
it may have been discussed in the Al
lance. He then entered upon dis
cussion of the silver question. Tho
people of Pick"ns are independent and
will not vote IS they are told. They
will not bo commanded, but will vote
as they th:uk is right, and whatever
they do will meet his approval.
MIR. Duncan said all were Democrats
and it was nn insult for Judge Earlo to
claim to be better Democrat than
others. He then took up Evans's re-
cord and said he professed mauy
things and did other things. The dis
pensary message was contradiction
throughout. Governor Evans. he said
had admitted he wanted to go back on
the dispensary board. He repeated
"John wants to go back" on the board,
and went to the story about Hubell's
offer to Mixson and, Evans's ordering
Nixon to buy from Hubbell, and how
Evans told Mixson that Tillman
had filled his pockets out of the
dispensary. Governor Evans tried
20 turn this of by laugh,
in which his friends joined. He
tried to get Evans to make denial,
and IL he made denial it would be
proven on him in twenty-four hours.
He said the best thing for Evans to do
was to make no explanations as he con-
tradicted himself, and then branched
Off on the bond contracts and denoun-
ced it as at other meetings. Evans
has done you," he said, "at every op-
portunity, but has done nothing
for you" Governor Evans, he
said, had been slaudering all
around, and he lad said of
an insurance agent at Anderson:
THAT scoundrel has done as much
rs steal when he accepted 2 per cent
rate when the rate was reduced by the
Tariff Association" and hc by this
very language convicted bis brother,
VINO got two per cent rate. Evans
had better be hitched to the traces and
wait to see if he was bulker, for he
can live on interest in bond and rebate
commissions
Gen. Eichbourg and Gen. Watts
came next. Gen. Watts emphasized
Gen. Richbourg's candidacy on the
Haskell ticket, and Gen. Richbourg

General Earle was the first Senate
rial candidate To speak. After few
| introductory remarks he said lie had
been requested to express lis viewa
upon The Dlspensnry. That is not u
matter connected with the Scnntorship,
still ns Il South Carolininn he was in
tercstcd IN the question ana would ex-
press his views. 1t WAS unfortunate
that so many people were encouraged
to establish vineyards in this part of
the State and then declare the manu-

State should not have declared it was
wrong to manufacture and sell wine,
wheE it went into the business itself to
make money. 1t had perfect right to
