The Beaufort Meeting.

Not hundred were at the meeting at
Beaufort. Rain kept all under the
piazza. All the candidates spoke ex-
cept Ducan. There was considerable
pice about the speeches.
Irbv devoted most attention to the
newspaper arrangement to syndicate
the reports, charging that it was in Nc
Laurin's interest and done to deprive
readers of the speeches, and was un-
Just, unfair and the like. He said Con
zales and Hemphill kept up factional
strife and that it would be best if Con
zales were drowned and Hemphill
hanged. He said Ellerbe wrote letter
to conservatives offering to remove the
metropolitan police and failed to carry
out the promise.
Evans was asked if he expected votes
after he had put Charleston under met
ropolitan police, but refused to answer
any anonymous question.
McLaurin spoke entirely on tariff ex-
cept to say he had generally been fairly
treated by the press; that he had no
deal with them and that they ran their
papers like farmers do farms to make
money and knew their business.
Good deal of pleasant repartee be-
tween McLaurin and Evans.

TILLMAN is NEUTRAL.
How He and lrby Was Brought
Together.


Together.
81. B. H." in special to The State
from Washington, under date OF the
18th, says in reference to the pending
senatorial contest in the State:
Personally, the relations between
Irby and myself are friendly, at least
they are not so strained as they were at
one time, but that fact has no signif.
canoe whatever, 80 far as the senatorial
campaign is the State is concerned.
We were brought together by mutual
friend year or so ago without any
possible reference to present CT future
conditions"
Speaking of his alleged connection
with the Irby-Evans combination to
defeat McLaurin he said: 'While in
Washington some time ago Evans
talked with me about his candidacy for
the Senate and l advised him against
it and the announcement Of his candl-
dacy in the newspapers was a surprise
to me, and was even more surprised
TO see that Irby and Evans were run
ming together-surprised because they
had knitted each other SO mercilessly in
the past"
Now" he added, 81 want it under
stood that am taking no part in the
contest. I Twill not be drawn into it,
and any statement to the contrary is
absolutely false. The people must
decide it for themselves.
About the possible result he had no
opinion to express. He will remain
here until congress adjourns unless
called home by the illness of Mrs.
Tillman.

CHEAP RATES sEcUREp
To the State Reunion OF ConfederAte
Veterans at Greenyille.

To the State Reunion OF ConfederAte
Veterans at Greenyilles
Considerable interest is being mani
tested in the coming annual reunion Of
the camps of the South Carolina divis-
ion of the United Confederate Veterans
to be held in Greenville very shortly.
The following information from the
Greenyille Mountaineer win be cf spe-
cisl interest to those intending to attend
the reunion:
It is only q short time until the Con-
federate survivors of the State will 40 I
cept the invitation extended to them
last year in Charleston, and viii hold
their annual convention In our city. AT
the least calculation there will be SIX or
eight hundred visitors on that occasion,
including the ladies and others who
will accompany the veterans, and the
low rate of fare on the railrosds Will
induce many to come along who are not
specially interested in the CONVENTION.
Greenyille will have to stir Itself 70
complete satisfactory arrangements Tor
the comfort and enjoyment OF our
guests during their stay among US. ana
while the invitation was given BY the
repressntati YES of veterans in Charles
ton, their action has been sanctioned
by our citizens generally, who Will pc
delighted to Join with the veterans IN
giving a most cordial welcome to their
comrades.
Camp Pulliam has charge OF the ar.
rangements for the convention
1t is not expected that free entertain
ment will be given to the veterans, al :
though many of them will find the
latch string on the outside in private
houses, but the hotels and boarding
houses will be asked to give reduced
rates.
It has been decided that q grand pic
mic will occupy the attention OF our
visitors for one day, and the co-opera-
ton of the Daughters of the Confeder-
acy has been asked to perfect the nec-
essary arrangements. The ladies gen.
orally will be solicited to help, not only,
in the city, but throughout the county,
as it is desirable to bring our people
from every section to commemorate the
assembling together of the Confederate
soldiers on this occasion. The annuA
Grafton will be delivered by a dlstln.
guished Confederate, and the day Will
be made memorable in every respect.
Another feature of the week will be
q reception rendered to the young
ladies who are expected to come as spon-
sors for the various camps In the State,
and on this occasion the Sons OF Vete-
rams will acquit themselves as becomes
the loyal representatives OF their
fathers.
Hon. W. L. Mauldin, as chairman OF
the committee of arrangements, has So
cured the reduction of railroad fare TO
one cent mile each way, and this fact
alone is sufficient to assume that there
will be large attendance OF veterans
and their friends when they know that
Greenville is making suitable prepara-
tions for their coming.

The Aiken Meeting.

The campaign meeting at Aiken was
attended by 800 or 400 voters, about one
ninth Of the voting population Of the
county, the audience being much
smaller than usual at such meetings.
Ex-Governor Evans, who spoke first,
said that Senator McLaurin was work
ing as Democrat in Republican livery,
and that he should join the Republican
party. He said that McLsurin voted
for 800 per cent. duty on wool IN the
committee.
Former Senator Irby stated that
Evans was his political child and that
when Senator Tillman favored the cleo
lion of Eilerbe as Governor, he told
Evans he would see him elected and
made Governor. Tillman came to the
assistance of Evans and elected him
Governor. Irby said that if he had not
found Tillman and run him for Cover
nor, Tillman would still be selling IS
worth of butter week. in copperas
breeches. Irby denounced the use OF
colofed labor in cotton mills, and held
that colored labor was satisfied anc
best adapted to field work.
Senator McLaurin said he never
rented farm lands to negroes, though he
could get large rents from them. He

The Barnwell Meeting.

There were about 400 voters at the
Barnwell meeting. It is said that this
county will go for Mayfeld, and if
there should be q second primary the
vote viii be divided.
The speaking here was delayed be-
cause. of the late arrival of Mayfeld,
who was the first speaker. He spoke of
the confidence his people had In him
and said that if elected he would work
for economy. He said the dispensary
has made no money.
Irby went for the Governor and said
he showed lack of Democracy in not
treating General Watts as he had treat
ed priyates. He said Ellerbe was wrong
In dismissing privates and not repri-
manding Watts. applause The
first thing he would have done, said he,
If he had been Governor, would have
been to remove the metropolitan police,
without the asking. He insisted that
Ellerbe was pledged to removal and
that Neal told him that Ellerbe was
afraid that Evans would move the
metropolitan police force from Charles
ton and take credit for it.
Evans said that this was fight for
principle and all could unite omit. He
said McLaurin advocates Republican
doctrine and principles and should go
with that party.
McLaurin said he was talking and
acting on business principles and that
he believed in looking to the best in
terest of his people. This he said was
statesmanship.
McLaurin said that last year Irby
and Evans were questioning each others
motives and honesty, and now they
pose as the true blue Democrats and as
friends. He said Egyptian cotton was
used in this country and he wanted to
drive it out.
it was good meeting and the audi
ence was very attentive.

Technology, addressing the grammar

said he voted for high tariff on wool
in committee because his vote made alb
solutely no difference. He was stand
ing by his friend, Congressman Bailey,
and the issue was as to free raw ma

The Hampton Meeting.

The campaign meeting here was at
tended by 800 out of the 1,5O0 white
voters. Senator McLaurin wanted to
know how many thought his tariff pol
icy right. About half the audience
raised their hands and applauded.
Later on Ex-Governor Evans called fol
. raising of hands of all who raised
short staple cotton and only three o,
four raised their hands, much to the
amazement of all.
Senator McLaurin said that Egyptian
cotton had almost driven out Pee Dee
and Allan cotton. He favored the
Latimer dispensary bill because he
thought the State and not the nation
should dispose of the liquor question
for South Carolina. The Ex-Governor
said that if Senator McLaurin's tariff
views prevailed it would impose 40
DER cent. tax on the farmer who used
manufactured goods.
Candidate Mayfield opposed the State
dispensary and denied emphatlcally
that he was in any political combina.
ton, as he was the very first to an.
nounce himself as candidate.
Senator Irby denounced all alleged
political plots to elect McLaurin and
said that the newspapers were not civ,

said General Butler told him that Nc,

he had no recollection of the matter.

ElIerbe Denies the Insinuation.

tor Irby's insinuation made on the
stump in the last few days, that he had
entered into deal before the last elec-
ton with the people of Charleston to
remove the metropolitan police in ex-
change for the vote of that county, is
as follows: "The statement that haye
ever made q deal, political or other
wise, to secure q vote is absolutely
false. No citizen of Charleston, or Of
the State, ever made q proposition for
me to vote for me for Governor If l
would remove the metropolitan police.
