of Cross Keys.is Senator. Was
second time had sppeared asking for
office, thank for support given on
former occSsion Has since been close
student of poliHsel questions. There
are no Issues. al lis quiet in. State
politics. Nsser In the history of the
world has the. money power been so
great as now. Our efforts should be
directed against this tendency to CEN
ttalized power Senator should not
ony be honesk,, conscientious and intel
| lEent, butinaneutial with the BODY.
Ho should live as becomes his high DO
sition. He shouM not board on q some
back street in Columbia. He should
stop at place bsftting his high and
honorable position. Would have
voted sgains. the 8 day IS year old
road law. II isjthe most infamous
law that ever dissssced the statute
books. 1t is taxa5ion without repre-.
sentation. The tiling for which our
forefathers threw ofl{she British yoke
What voice hasSs jss eighteen wear
old boy in this gdYersihent. Gives
Senator Douglassl tfedit for intro
ducing the bill that Knocked out the
old soldiers homo and supported
them at home, also his work in get
ting the appropriation to the old
soldiers raised, but credits other
motives than love of the old soldier
as being responsible for his work in |
their behalf. Attacked Senator |
Douglass on his vote against the ap- |
preparation for the erection of the |
South Carolina monument at Chic
anauga Park, as being the blackest
record against him of any record left
by any Senator before him. He
denied Senator Douglass statement
that there were only two regiments
VINO fought in the battle there, and
read a letter he had received from
General Walker, showing tho
troops from South Carolina who took

from two o'clock till dark. No more
appropriate place in the world for
the monument to commemorate the
valor and heroism of South Cardinals
troops. He gave 2 fine description
of the battle ground and the position
of the different forces and the resist
less charges made by the confederats.
Would be disgrace for South Cars
olina not to be represented with the
other Southern States.
1t is a National cemetery and other
States were represented by monu-
ments. He would have voted for the |
appropriation for South Carolina's |
monument. Referred to the heroism |
of the soldiery of South Carolina.
Had never held Office, both his op-
ponents had. Honored Senator for |
his grand war record, but did not |
think it should entitle him to life |
tenure of Office. Mr.. Fowler, in a |
more humble capacity, was possibly |
as faithful and brave, though he has |
not referred to it. Honored them
both as much as any man living.
The rising, intelligent young men
should have q chance, else, why
educate them. Capt. Douglass can
have no hope of rising higher but
clings to his place like death to
dead niger. Acknowledged having
differed with his friends on political
questions, but everyone always knew
where to find him, was willing to
stand by what he had done. Had
never been accused of barking with
the hounds and running with the
hare. His errors had been errors of
the head and not Of the heart. Had
not voted for Haskell ticket. Showed
letter from T. j. Alverson and others
to prove he had voted the straight
Democratic ticket. Charged that
the returns had been stolen for 1894.
Sarnps Pope received only one
white vote at Cross Keys-let-
ter to prove that man who voted it
had moved away, was read. AS to
Constitutional Convention had voted
for Judge Wallace and had no apol-
ogies to make. Would serve to the
best of ability if elected.
Referred to Tillman's letter pub
lished saying that mans democracy
