A PlTlFUL STR ADDLE.

OF the five candidates for the
senate, Mr. Mel aurin and Mr.
Mayhcld have so far had least to
say about Senator Tiuman. Mr.
Duncan declares that he is Till
man man and Colonel Irby has
indulgcd in aIlusions to that DIG
nitary which, in our opinion, were
neither pertinent nor necessary.
Mr. McLaurin has decided that
Tillman $ tariff views were identi-
cal with his but Mr. McLaurin
was namely enough to say that
Tillman had followed him in this
new departure and not he Tillman,
in which Mr. McLaurin stravcd
far away from the recognized
coat-tail swinging method. Dcs-
pitc the claims Of Messrs Duncan
/ 'hN Nv hiiH, llc Illlulilil ana NC
Laurin views of the tariff appear
very similar and the candidates
who attack Mr. McLaurin and mt
the same time defend Mr. Tillman
make their important selves
ludicrous.
1t may be said, however, that
Mr. Tillman has assumed two
diamctricaIly opposite positions
as to the tariff. He declare, in
one breath that if there is to I've
tariff stealing, the South wants
her snare. In another he pro-
claims that his object is to over
load the tariff bill so rs to destroy
the protection idea by making it
absurd. 1t is likely enough that
the former view is what Mr. Till
man really holds and that he and
Mr. McLaurin are one il their ad-
vocacy of protection.
But tn" effort by some of the
candidates 10 br with Tillman and
against McI.aurin ON the tariff

They were left in the camps as

They also took some clothing and
other things belonging to the
camp.
The dogs have returned to the
camp, but the convicts are still at
