QUIET AND ORDERLY.
IRBY BEHAVED HIMSELF AT
MONCK's CORNER.
A Very Small Crowd Present
McLaurin and Irby the Only
Candidates There.

Manck's Corner, S Gully G.
This was n quiet meeting with
about one hundred persons pre-
sent.
CoIored lrby mad, the opening
speech. He said he was unwell,
but he made Il very good speech
devoid of personalities and devot-
ed himself principally to his re.
cord as ieformer and his sympa-
thy for the common people and
what he had done for them in the
constitutional convention and in
the reform faction.
He said he had no confidence or
trust in politicians and that they
should be frequently weighed.
He said that any man who was
chapcroncd by Editor Gonzales
was to be watched by the refor-
mers.
Senator McLaurin said that he
was delighted with the temper
and style of Irby's speech and
hoped that the two candidates
would conduct the campaign upon
the plane of todny's meeting.
McLaurin said that when the
reform movement needed him he
fought for it, but that this is IL
day of progress and that the best
man can be elected, and he was
still reformer and had never
apologized for any position he
ever took. He said he had never
consulted with or made any trade
with Gonzales or anyone else.
He said his tariff views were en-
tlrcly new and he never consulted
with Tillman, who now concurred
with him.
The votes were badly divided
and there was no enthusiasm. Both
speeches were on high plane.
Candidates John Gary Evans.
John L Duncan and S G. Mayfeld
were not at the meeting.

Col lrby, amid the applause,
then cried out: "'Then that is

report, and there the incident
closed.
Col lrby then went on to say
that all he wanted WAS fair play
and that he expected to have it or
die in the attempt. This provoked
much applause.
Col lrhy begged pardon for this
personal ailusion and then went

could not be depended upon. He
said he could agree with
Mr. MclIaurin i'm at least one
thing, and that was the kind things
ne had said about Charleston.
He was today the friend of Char
lesion; not, however, for votes,
but was Charleston's friend be-
cause of her record. He now
and always opposed scctionaIism
and never maligncd the people of
Charleston. The people of Lau-
rens and the Piedmont were proud
of the history of Charleston.
When Charleston adopted mis-
taken policy and favored an "avaiI-
able" man up to 1876, the Pied
mont people followed Charleston,
but made the break in 1876 and
took the yoke promptly from the
neck of the people.
If the railroad facilities were
better the Piedmont would deal
here more than at present. He
had many friends in Charleston
and was proud of them He had
been Charleston friend and felt
that this was known; he had shown
it when he was chairman of the
Democratic executive committee.
Col lrby said that it was very
good to talk about duty on rice
and lumber and Sea Island cotton
in this country, but that the peo,
pie in the up-country who ate the
rice would rejoice that they were
being made to pay tribute to the
few rice growers in this State.
He said that 90 per cent. of the
people outside of the coast tier re

NANTES and could never get close
enough to Tillman, but in Charles
ton it was different. AS for him
self, he was a Reformer, but one
who was always liberal to Charles
ton.
Tonight Irby for the first time
mildly ridiculed McLaurin. He
said that when McLaurin went to
congress he started his record with
a speech soundly abusing the
aristocracy of South Carolina.
in being elected to congress he
defeated his best friend. He said
that when McLaurin was elected
attorney general it was said he
had never had Il case IN the supreme
court. He said that McLaurin
could blow his own trumpet bet
ter than any man he ever saw.
He said that McLaurin would
better have remained in the house
on the committee and that his
light could have shonc better there.
Col lrby said that no one ever
knew how McLaurin had gotten
on the ways and means committee.
but it was not through his merit.
Reed, McLaurin and the Almighty
alone knew and no one was telling
how it was done.
He suggested that if McLaurin
were elected that Charleston would
suffer aS never before from sccti-
onaI prejudice, but he did not state
how that prejudice was to SO re-
suit, but reserved that for later
time. He said he did not expect
many votes here, as he had been

McLaurin in the course of his
speech said that while Irby was
so kind rs to repudiate the sup
port of the State that he ought to
remember that the Greenyillc
News had inclined toward the
candidacy of lrby. TheState had
supported free silver while Editor

ghost dance gold convention. Nc
Laurin said that "'little rantanker-
Gus Billy Balls support was worse

If "this thrower of vitriol ever
came to his support he would
think of repudiating the support. "
He said that when Tillman made
his race he would have to look af-
tor it and go before the people
just as he has to do and Tillman
could take care of himself. Nc
Laurin says he is reformer and
stands to principles. The speech
es of 1rby and McLaurin were
both dignifed. McLaurin told
lrby that he would be very glad
to continue the campaign on the
plans adopted to-day and that it
wound instruct the people.
lrby said he only came out to
represent true reform and demo
cratic principles as no one else
seemed willing TO keep those ban
ners OFT of the dust.
McLaurin made pocketbook
speech saying he was looking out
for the pocketbooks of the South
and devoted most of his speech to
his record stating what he had
done as to rice and lumber.

Denver, Sept. THE Democrats Of
Colorado yesterday decided that here
after there shall be no more fusion by
that party with any other. After q
heated session John A. Gordon. OF Las
AEimas county, straight Democrat,
was nominated fer supreme court judge
by the decisive vote OF 233 to 167. A
notable event was the announcement
made on the floor Of the convention by a
silver Republican that Judge Hayt, who
was nominated last week by the Re-
publicans at Denver and Silver Repub-
licans at Glenwood, would not accept
the Denver nomination because it would
necessitate his Endorsement of the St.
Louis platform, whereas his sympathies
were with that promulgated at Chicago.

Gratis. after referring in laudatory term.

ing his election to the presidency in 1900
says: I'VE believe the free coinage OF
silver at the ratio of 16 to / to be the
paramount issue before the people Of the
nation and until settled rightly it should
be the supreme question in every elec-
Ion, whether national or local. We ex-
pressly pledge ourselves to do all in oul
power. whether alone or in conjunction
with others who believe in the same
thing, to defeat any candidate who &C.
cepts a nomination by those who are

ali that is past Movements, growtbs
and revolutions, advances and retro

evolution to bring it forth, yet men are
prone to turn their backs on the things

From the days Of Nums. 1900 years
