thoughtful consideration. We regret ex-
ceedingy that we are unable to give syn
opsis Of the speech, as we depended on
getting it from him and he left here with

Mr. El!erbe Was followed by L. ). Big

self and deprecating his opponents. In
fact, there was nothing in MS speech
worth noting. He made several attempts
to be funny and excused bimself for being
"hnmolsome, but if there was anything
"Lumorsome, his hearers knew nothing OF
it until be gave them the information.
The last OF the Congressional party to
speak Was j. VI Johnson. This gentleman
opened his speech with answers to ques-
tons published in HE TINES. He gave
about the same answers in writing and
they appeared in this paper last week,
therefore We will not criticize, but let the
people he the judges as to whether the
questions propounded b7 US have been sat
isfactorily answered. In older that Mr..
S answers could Re fairly judged,
we reproduced our questions With his an
swers aud our readers are in possession Of
both and are competent to Judge. After his
explanation of his political past, Mr.. John
son then proceeded to discuss briefly, as
he had but a short time, the national issues
of the day. He said in substance that the
Ills we complain Of are directly traceable to
the Republican party, which is the party OF
monopoly and the party Of trusts. This
party struck down one-half OF the primary
money of the conntry in 1873, and as a
result each gold dollar has enhanced to the
value Of 200 cents and silver bullion, while
having purchasing power to buy as much
of any product As ever, will buy say one
halt as much gold as prior TO 1878. The
Democratic party stands for the restoration
of silver 10 where it stood before the Re
publican party struck it down. The speak
er hoped that long pull, q strong pull and
a pull altogether would elect Bryan or some
other free silver man to the Presidency IN
1900 He favors a tariff for revenue only
with incidental protection placed on luxu-
ries, such as silks, plate glass, ETC., with the
protection taken off from articles of con-
sumption which are used largely by the poor
as well as the rich throughout the land.
The audience treated ali the candidates
and each of them received ap-
plause. Ellerbe, Johnson and Norton were
without doubt the favorltes.
Chairman Eradham then introduced the
Senatorial candidates, commencing with
DR.. Woods who made first rate speech,
com pairing favorably with some OF the best
speeches. He was followed
bv J. II. Lesesne, who a,so made i good
speech. The campaign party was then
taken iu charge and the inner man was
looked after.

CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES..

The candidates aspiring to the seat
in Congress made vacant by the ele-
vation of Hon. John L. McLaurin to
the United States Senate, are now on
their campaign tour. They began
their meetings in this County and the
people had an opportunity to see all
OF them. Packsville, Manning, Coles
Mil were visited and those who felt
interested enough in the contest at
tended at least one of these meetings.
They heard the speakers and formed
their opinions about the candidates.
At present we viii not undertake to
influence the people one way or an
other il making their selection, but
re will say this much, and that is, the
candidate of our selection appears to
be the favorite in this County. He
has caught the ear OF the people and
that is where lie looks for support.
We Will not have anything to say
against the candidates who accept
the Democratic doctrine laid down
in the Chicago platform and we think
all of them are Of that faith except
Captain T. D. Bryant, who is dis
ciple OF Palmer and Bucknec, and he
is the man who reluctantly admitted
his candidacy for the Legislature with
negro as a running mate. We do
not regard l1r. Bigham as a caudi-
date because he has not complied
with the rules Of the Democratic
party. He came here and entered
the race and left without paying his
assessment fee. SO Bryant and Big
ham, as far as we are concerned, are
not in it, Bryant is a gold bug and
Bigham is humbug.
The otter gentlemen we propose
to treat as legitimate candidates, and
rs far as we know are entitled to the
consideration of the voters of this
district. Each of them have about
the same platform OF principles and
as to their political records we think
the people have already been inform
ed. EIIerbe, Norton, NcLaurin and
johnson are names from which the
people can make a good selection and
We sincerely hope that every voter
will turn oat or August 31st and cast
lis vote as his conscience dictates
We hope the day is past when a
man can sit down in little County
ofice or little law Office and dictate
who shall be voted for. The two
meetings we attended was proof con-
elusive to us that the people are do
ing their own selecting and when the
election day comes on we expect to
see the man who made the best i'm
preston receive a large majority OF
| the votes. In selecting your candi-
date, remember one thing; let reason,
not passion, be your guide

The fact OF some OF the candidates
for the United States Senate avoiding
the discussion Of national issues is al
admission that McLaurin has the best
Of the argument and that he is right
in his conclusions. His opponents
realize this, and to divert the public
mind from McLaurins S unauswerable
arguments, they seek to make local
issues the material for their claims

the United States Senate have moth

A Genius IN Construction.

There is genius up in Juneau whom
it would pay some newspaper owner TO
catch and put to work. He is already
sending news, and under date of August
Z relates that some of the ingong gold
hunters, dlsrelishng the Canadian Gus
toms officers, threaten to ignore" them
"peaceably if possible, forcibly if neces-
sary" Among the several and various
blessings which the Creator has bestowed
on man without apparently, depriving
himself of anything, the power forcibly
to ignore has not hitherto been counted.
II was Coleridge that invented the word
"ignore;;" If not incommunicado he will
please have the goodness to hand up a
decision as to what he meant bylt. The
notion of ignoring by force and arms re-.
minds one of the Irishman who treated a
