A South Carolina Debate.

Senators Tillman and McLaurin of
South Carolina desire to be reelected
senators from that state. Rival SEN
atOrs are no more considerate Of each
others feelings in Carolina than they
are in Nebraska, and the joint de-
bates are an interesting example Of
the use OF English in the south when
heated by ambition and the wrath
engendered by accusations and cOun-
ter-accusations. Tillman has charged
McLaurin with plagiarizing. Nc
Laurin replied in speech at Column
bia, 8. c.. last Saturday. He said
that Tillman had wanted to make a
presidential candidate out Of Teller
of Colorado, who had said that a ne
gro was as good as a white man and
was entitled to as much share as
white man in the government. Any
proof of statement Of negro equality
to a South Carolina audience is dam
aging and Senator Tillman was prop
erly indignant. McLaurin said he
tried all the time to keep the discus
sion on high plane but that with a
man like Tillman it was very dlfii-
cult thing to do. He said this after
he had denounced Tillman as be.
lever in negro equality, as a dema-
gogue stirring up class prejudices, as
;af
The significance of this speech is the
fact that these words were said in
the south aud that both men are still
alive considering that the consequent
ces of such strong words are limited
to calling names, the prospects OF
peaceably settling imputations cast
upon southernman's honor seem to
be improving.
