he thought, was, to say the least,
uncharitable, and he assured the
other candidates, one and all, that
when they came down in the Sixth
district, all of them would be
treated with courtesy, and none
of the. candidates down there
would assume to take hand IN a
fight that was none of their bust

charges and insinuations which
were being hurled against him.

upon his breast, and said
the Great God that looks down
from above knows that every
heart throb here is for South Ca
rolina and the principles of her
people.
His last remarks were singu-
larly touching. During their de-
liverance the silence in the court
room was such as could almost
be felt. He seemed to have the
sympathy of almost every mem
ber of the Dig audience, and he
turned away, there was nothing
left for his hearers but to give
vent to their feelings with a cheer,
and it was given with a will.
When he had finished, Mr. Me
Laurin turned to his table as if to
gather up the notes he had been
using in his speech. He was no.
ticed to place his hands apart, as
if in a kind of a study. Then he
suddenly went down, and friends
who rushed to his assistance,
found him insensiblc. He vas
carried to an adjoining room, and
after several minutes, was rcsu5ci-
tated with great difficulty. DR.

near, took charge of the case and

long continued physical and men

although the senator is an unusu-

Tho Baptist Social Union of Manhattan Island

listen to discussions on good government

to tho toast Democracy and tho City," eluci-
dated tho objects of the Citizens Union, Of
which he is Chairman, and declared that only
by tho means mapped out by this organization
could tho victory bo won in tho coming cam
paign. John Sabine Smith, who responded to
"Tho Duty Of. tho Citizen In Municipal
Politics." said that ho had received one
OF tho Citizens Unions circulars, and he was Of
tho opinion that by following the prccepts in 1t
the citizens would delegate the power Of gov.
ernmcnt to a comparative fow. He declared
that tho only hope of victory was In the harmo-

ment is tho most arrogant, most bitter.
most determined sort Of government, and
when cxcrtcd to its full force is the most severe
and most tyrannical. Tho man who is too lofty
to attend the primaries of his party ought to be
disfranchised, as IL is only by ths means that
we can hope to attain the best results"

GAS HARMONY IN CHICAGO.
Consolidation OF the Various Companies NoW
said TO He Probable.

CHICAGO. May 6.-The favorable report al
Springfield OF the Senate Committee on Corpora
tions recommending the passage Of the consoli.
daton gas bill and the frontage bill indicates
the early success OF those bills. Up to yesterday
1t was asserted with apparent show Of truth
that until the Ogden Gas people changed front
the prospects of consolidation were slim. Along
with the statcmcn that the Senate Committee
at Springfield had decided upon favorable re-
port for the bill camo the announcement that
the Ogden and Chicago gas interests had come
to terms and that therefore the opposition had
been removed.
All sorts of rumors were in the air to-day 40
to the terms on which this compromise had been
effected. The most radical and at the Same
time the most positive had 1t that the Gas Trust
had simply agreed TO buy out the Ogden at itS
own valuation. The cOnsuInnation OF the deal.
SO the rumor had ii, was not TO be until all the
Chicago companies had united under the terms
OF the Consolidation act. Meantime the Ogden
crowd were 10 maintain outward signs OF oppo-
sition as stoutly as ever. 1t was said that mat
tors would shape themselves so that the Ogden
osition. and thereafter q he Frontage act would
prevent any further mushroom companies from
SpringinR into existence TO disturb the Cquanim-
ity OF tho gas monopoly.
The details OF the truce have not been made
public. The officials all deny that the Ogden
believed. however, that the trust acting through
Anthony Brady of New York. who came here to
conduct negotiations has bought out the ORdoa
on its own terms.
