THE HON. W. j. TALBERT,
of the estate Of Edge6eld. Col.
Talbert said that Mr.. Hayward had
taken some of his thunder, but if he
| did not get his votes he would for
give him. Col. Talbert would have
no text, but no man should aspire to
public Office without proper realiza-
ton of its responsibilities. Espe-
cislly was this true when the high
and honorable Office of governor of
South Carolina was the Office in
question. Duty and courage, sin
gleness of purpose, looking for re-
ward only in the appreciation of the
people. He was mindful of these
considerations and would be through
out his campaign, and if he got votes
enough he would be elected. (Ap-
plause.) He never intended at any
time to resort to trickery, hypocrisy
or unfairness to win votes. When
this is the case, when votes are
bought and sold, then We can trem-
bic. Mr.. Talbert cited a recent
occurrence in Augusta, and said that
the growing expenses of South Caro-
lima campaigns have aroused the
indignation of many, He wanted to
live to see the day when any man,
| otherwise qualified, could aspire to
any Office within the gift of the peo-
pie, whether he had money or not.
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR TILLMAN
came next and was received with
slight applause. He made illusions
to what his predecessors had said
and was not in favor of further taxa
tion even for good roads. He thought
that COL Talbert might be running
for the Office of United States sena-
| tor, Judging from his zeal in attack
ing the trusts. If Talbert meant this
why did he of his own volition leave
the halls of congress, where he could
really serve the people and seek the
Office to which he now aspired? All
the candidates agreed upon the sub
iect of the child labor bill. It was
his privilege as presiding officer of
the senate on tie vote to save this
bill in the senate. Col. Tillman
spoke of his first opinion of the pro
posed bill and gave the reasons for
his change of opinion. He stated
that 10000 more colored children
than whites were now being educated
in South Carolina He believed in
pensioning the old Confederate SOL
der and had favored the 100000
proposed at the last Legislature. He
favored better system of distribut-
ing pensions and was opposed to the
establishment of soldiers home, as
it sounded too much like the poor
house.
In conclusion it was not for him
to say how he had filed the Office
with which he had been honored.
He would leave it to the senators to
say if he had not done the best he
could. If elected in this race, hap
pen what may, nothing impure, un-
worthy, dishonorable to his God, his
nation or himself shall be recorded
against him.
Some applause greeted the con-
clusion of Col. Tillman's remarks,
which had been listened to with the
closest attention.
DIR. ". r. ZIMMERMAN
spoke under the disadvantages of a
late hour and dinner time. He re-
joiced at the opportunity of meeting
these friends There wa :, he said,
no Clncinnatus in this racA. On the
contrary, the candidates are perau
bulatlng the State, asking for votes.
He was not surprised at those want
ing this honor. If so fortunate as to
be elected he would do right. He
