gnnixe Republican Party.

Ennixe Republican Party.
Columbia, S. c.. Aug. PA large
political meeting was held at Spartan
burg. S. c.. to-day at which all the
candidates opposing McLaurin made
speeches. Senator McLaurin again de-
clined to be present.
Senator Tillman sustained a painful
accident to his eye and left just before
the meeting. He came to Columbia
and had the cinder cut from his eye.
He gave out statement here to-day
in which he attacked the mill owners
for coercing their employees. warning
them not to make slaves of our white
people" In the statement he also re-
viewed his political course, showing his
loyalty to the Democratic party and
McLaurin's disloyalty.
The meeting was not an eventful one,
the only sensation being a speech of
Congressman Latimer, in which he Sc
verely attacked McLaurin and denounc-
ed the senator's entire course. Indeed.
all of his speech was a condemnation
of McLaurin's attempt to organize a
Republican party in South Carolina.
The candidates go to Greenville to-
morrow. Greenville is McLaurin's
headquarters, and it was expected that
Senator Tillman would attack him on
his home ground. Senator Tillman
will be unable to be present on account
of the accident to his eye.
