stone with both feet. Col. john.
}stone said he was defeated on 2h,
sub treasury issue. but Mr.. Lati-
mer denies this andssaid the far
mers didn't claim to understa, d
II fl nance question, but
asked for the sub TREASURY or som.-
thing better.
/, Mr.. Latimer then repeated his
his explanations Of his ship-subs;~
dy speech and tho PENNSYLVANIA.
Railroad matter. He again made
his business talk and went over h,s
record in detail and seemed to have
made a good impression, but sal
down in utmost silence.
HON, JOHN GARY EVANS
is here to discuss questions relatipp
to tho public good and not to ay:
grandizement Of self or family.
The man who follows the "husi-
ness policy" in Congress generally
takes all he wants for himself, and
If anything is left gives 1T to the
"poor people, The r publica.,s,
when they loot the treasury, do it
under the guiso of business. lie
is not going to admit that his com
petitors have more sense than Ii.
has and plead with the farmers to
como 70 lis rescue. lie Is here ;r
fight his own battle.
MIR. Evans then went over }l.!
fight against Republicanisn hlal
years ago and denounced the "$co,j
business as the biggest humJuy
in the United States. Mr.. Latiu,ei
boasts that he increased your tax
100000 to send you moro Sc 1t. ~
you want only seed, send some LuHN
nigger there who will vote with !
the Republicans, and he will grt
more seed than any white DomD,
crat you can send. This thing Of !
standing in with the Ropu5lic,ns !
10 the way McLaurin started on the !
road to Republicanism. When a |
man gets rich in Congress, comcz
back and boasts of ii, an expana~
tim is in order. Gov. Evans made |
his usual discussion of the tariff
measure and was well recrived
HON. GEORGE TOMBSTONE.
was the next speaker and ate: 4 !
few Introductory remarks, turned
his attention to the spe ecch Gf Mr.. |
Latimer. ''The honorable gentle
man from Bolton seems trying to
ride in office OH my back. Would
it not be more manly TO try to 60
in on his own inertia"
Col. Johnstone re asserted that
he was defeated on the sub. treas.
ury issue and that Mr.. Latimer
has admitted that this was a mis-
taken policy.
Hen then discussed the protec-
tive tariff. He will not allow any
personal feeling to enter into this
campaign. He is tho happiest
man you ever saw, because he bears
no malice in his heart. He be.
lieves in an economically admins.
tersd government whore every man
will have an equal opportunity. |
Col. Johnstone is genuine orator
and makes splendid appearance.
HON. D. S. HENDERSON,
was introduced as the man who
has been styed Ithe "Demosthenes
of Aiken county" He came as a
stranger in Israel, but when he
looked out upon the manly, intel
ligont faces before him, he felt sure
that justice would be accorded even
to stranger, and justice is all he
asks.
He then reviewed his work in
Constitutional Convention and the
Legislature. He does not object
to the sending Of seeds, but a repre-
sentative in the National Congress
should not forget to speak the senti.
ments of his people on all national
questions. The Republican party
is tho mother Of trusts, tariff and
imperialism. We need united &C.
ton in the Democratic. party.
HON. J. J. HEMPHILL.
says Mr.. Latimer seems to think
that the five lawyers are all run.
