Notes Of Interest.
Columbia. June :. Special: The
Chief object OF interest and Il subject
OF general conversation is the ap-
preaching campaign - the summer
stump-speaking in the Democratic
party. Whilst the withdrawal of
Senator McLaurin necessarily changed
the character of the contest for the
succession TO the place which he now
holds. yet interest in that contest
continues to be very considerable. 1t
is true. there will probably not be
much in the way Of discussion Of
ISSUES OF questions Of public policy
ON which the Democratic voters may
be said to entertain conflicting opin-
ions. There is general concession that
the money question need not now en-
gage the time Or thou Tiit OF people or
OT aSpirantS. Many careful; observers
OF public events conSi Ter that the sill
Yer question was finally settled in the
last light for the Presidency. How
ever this may Ja. there can DC 10 &C
caSiUn. among the candldatGS Tor Nc
Laur!n'S place, for any agitation Oi
the silver question ab"ut WAich. as
MATER Of fact. the people Of South
Carolina are practically Of one mind.
The candidates 70: the Senate may
therefore content themselves with a
mere statement of their position.
The money question being thus ellmi-
mated, there will be better opportunity
to present other matters Of immediate
interest imperialism, trusts, tariff,
Cuban policy. phe separation OF the
State canvass from the senatorial
gives ample time for calm discussion
Of these matters, and the qualitica-
tionS of the candidates already an
nounced for interesting the people are
all that may be desired, The list is
as follows:

purpose.
