stated'at Walterboro was true then an,

Rhind organized the syndicate will

responsible instruments in the transac
tion, were in constant dread that the
deal would fall through and the State
debt, not be refunded, as one obstacle
after another presented itself. The
judges OF the Supreme Court lent every
assistance-in their power by speedily
determining the questions of law pres
ented TO them. Every department oi
the State government was willing and
anxious to lend aid towards refunding
the debt.
Governor Evans had nothing to dc
with the transaction except in his Ca
pacity as attorney to the broker, whose
commission was at stake If the deal
failed.
If you were not blinded by prejudice
and passion you would be bound to
acknowledge what every lawyer in the
State would assert and sustain-that
his being State Senator could in no
wise make 1t dishonorable or dishonest
to practice his profession under the
circumstances presented in this case.
III you will remember, my last words
to you that night when we had that
conversation at Mr.. Bunchs, were
Take care that envy is not at the bot
tom of this, and that the people in the
State house do not accomplish the over
throw of the Reform movement, If you
keep on fighting one another in this
way" and now repeat the warning.
II l saw anything in Governor Evans
conduct to condemn, 1 would not hesi-
tate, but believing, as do, that he has
been guilty OF no official misconduct,
cannot lend any help to drag him down
or allow anyone else to use me as the
instrument Of his undoing.
yours truly, b. r. T1LLMAN.
+. P.S.-Governor Evans has written
me asking an explanation Of your
charges, ETC., in connection with our
conversation, and l have sent him a
copy OF this letter as an act of Justice
to him and to you. B. r. II.
On Governor Evans concluding the
letter Duncan said: Governor, will
you permit question ?"
Evans: mot one, sir. l want no
moro to do with that man. l told the
buy jackass with some of my fee. I'll
give it Duncan TO advertise himself
with through the State" Laughter
AS for Judge Earle, ho was doing
more good on the bench sending people
to the chaingang than he would in
Washington.
Voice-What will you do there?
Evans: Teach sense to people like
you"
Judge Eacle, he thought, had better
answer the kollock questions. He had
not done SO yet.
Earle-"I am will ing to answer them
from the stump at any time they are
propounded to me. Now, if any one
will ask them"
Evans-"Sit down; 1 don't wish you
to make my speech"
Earle--"Don't speak to me unless
you wish an answer"
Evans then appealed to the crowd
not to turn down their old leaders.

Mr.. kollock-Has he ever retreated?
Judge Earle-He has on the stump

After answering the questions, Judge
Earle said he had, so far as he knew, but
one enemy and he wished he had not
that one. There are some men with
good qualities who are SO imbued with
hatred and prejudice as to see no good
qualities in any man they disliked.
He hoped to see the day come in South
Carolina when that would cease.
Mr.. kollock-We are not making a

Judge Earle-I have nothing to do

Earle said: "These men say | am not

Governor Evans -Why,I was running

Cen. Earle--I thought the date OF
your conversion was at the meeting In
Aiken.
Gen. Earle closed by asking the pee.

not have gotten him any votes, but Il
certainly gained him sympathy.

form Making and President Making.
st. Louis, June Ex-senator Lodge
today expressed the opinion that gold
| had practically won and that there
| would be an absolute declara ton for
| the existing gold standard in the plat
form. He said this sentiment had been
growing rapidly ever since the delega-
lions had begun TO gather. There had
been a little slump yesterday. he said,
but there was general rally OF the
gold forces today and the prospects
were brighter than ever
The Mckinley men along the gold
standard forces are considerably con-
cerned over the story which has gained
| circulation to the effect that Mr. Hanna
has thrown his influence against a de-
claration for gold. Said one Of the most
prominent of them today:
'Mr. Hanna is not making the plat
form and is not trying TO make il. He
has been giving his entire attention TO
the selection Of candidate for the pres
idency and all he has done on the plat
form question is 10 collect suggestions
He will be satisfied with whatever the
committee on resolutions and the con-
vention do"
During the evening an Informal con-
ference of some of the Leaders of some
OF tneSllVer forces was held in the
rooms Of the delegation, at which Sen
alter Teller Of Colorado, Mantle of Mon
tana, Dubois of Idaho and Cannon OF
Utah, Representatives Towne of Min
nesota and Hartman of Montana, and
Messrs. Lennon Of California, Mott Of
North Carolina and Taylor of Tonnes

went over the situation, discussing the
probabilities in the conven ton, and CIV
ing some attention TO the form Of the

a majority of those present being men,

There were no bands in evidence, nor

pavements about corridors Of hotels.
Stale cigar smoke hung heavy, and me-
dallioned citizens from back seats who
had forgotten TO go to bed rubbed their
eyes and looked about for the arrival
of leaders who were late In putting in
an appearance at the headquarters of

was to be seen at the Massachusetts,
