August kohn sends to the Charleston
News and Courier from Grccnvillc an
extract Of McLaurin's points:
Second. 81 have broke up" he said,
NEGRO government and carpetbagism
in South Carolina"
Third: | am Il Democrat, in spite Of
all the SANDERS that have been Circu-
lated against me.

out OF the State, and ! am free fr> m
Tillman's coat Ia l.
Fifth Nobody but fool would now
make speech on free silver
Sixth | am an cXpausionist.

81 killed Cock R0bin:with my little ar
row Killed Cock Robin. There was an
old impression that Hampton and the
red-shirterS bad something to do with
the exodus of the carpet baggers."
Again, Tillman's coat-tail OF old
time was of some service and the young
Senator is in danger OF being charged
with short memory,
Nobody but fool would now m AXE
speech on free silver This comes
after the funeral and looks like gazing
into another pair Of bright eyes.
"The only way he can be defeated is
to be forced out of the primary" But
hasn't the Senator voted himself out of
the primary? He is certainly cam
paigning on his own hook now-no
democratic committee is making his ap-
polntmcnts here below seem to be
the rc'sonel chapcroning him:
They hail from the East, they hail
from the West, they hail from the
North and from the South and a
good y number OF them are at present
hanging hard and fast to Uncle Sam
uel's calico coat tails and have been for
goodly days. Here they are:
OF course the feature of the day was
the speech Of Senator McLlurin, but
quite Il neat speech was made by Capt.
). A. Mooney in introducing Mr.. Nc
Laurin. Capt, Mooney first called on
DR.. &. S. Gardner to open the meeting
with prayer, which he did, and then
Capt. Mooney made glowing present
alton of Senator McLaur;n. There was
quite large number on the stage ,
among them werei DR.. Bayles, New
