ard. The mighty chasm widened at
the convention. Congressman Richard
F. Bland of Missouri, silver Dick"
the old war horse of the free silver
coinage movement, was the logical and
apparently the inevitable candidate for
the presidency. His nomination seem
ed to be a certainty until thing hap
pened hitherto unprecedented in Amer
lean politics.
Bryan of Nebraska, known as 1.-The
silver tongued orator. and "the boy
orator of the Platte" mounted the plat
form and delivered a brief but bold
and masterful speech. His vibrant
voice rang out over the heads of the
$4,000 persons in the vast hall, pene-
tratlng with clarion intonation to the
farthest corners. The customary up
roar of a great political convention,
which the strongest of oratorical lungs.
as a rule. cannot quell entirely, was
hushed into unbreathing awe. No such
eloquence ever before had been heard
in a national convention. The man
and the occasion had met, and the man
had mastered the occasion. The ad-
dress was an imprisoned appeal for
bimetallism and an exalted glorifica-
ton of the new Democratic financial
| doctrine. When the orator closed with
| his epoch making metaphor Of 1.-The
cross of gold and crown of thorns'
the enthusiastic appreciation of his
| sentiments and of the man himself
was indicated by a whirlwind of APP
plause beyond description.
| And William Jennings Bryan was
nominated for the presidency Of the
| United States.
Flashed to the remotest reaches Of
the nation, the news was the most SEN
sational political titbit that ever took
the wires. Bryan was but one year
above the minimum age required by
the constitution Of the United States
/ for a president While some of his
speeches in congress a few years be-
fore had given him a momentary repu-
tation, he was practically unknown to
the nation at large, and particularly
so to the great eastern section of the
country. Never before had a great
party nominated for president a man
living west of the Mississippi river.
Never before had so young a man
been nominated Never before had an
orator won the great prize by a single
speech. Democrats, Republicans. Pop
ulists. everybody wondered how the
newcomer would conduct himself in
the campaign.
Presently the wonder turned to
amazement. Young Mr.. Bryan was a
campalgner-there was no doubt as to
that He injected into American poll
tics a presidential campaign such as
the nation never knew before. Men
called 1t a whirlwind campaign, and
such 1t was. The whirlwind road was
the railroad, and II carried the candi-
date up and down and across the land
upon an amazing schedule of travelling
and talking Mr.. Bryan travelled in
that campaign more than $4,000 miles
and delivered considerably more than
1000 speeches. He made forty-nine

What the Legislature Ac-
complished the Past Week
The Work Before 1t.

Columbia special in Mondays
News and Courier Tie House
during the last week has done
great deal of work. Perhaps
the chief thing it has accompl
ished in the way of progress is
the disposition of the lien law
question, the bill to repeal the
law having been passed after de-
bate extending over two days.
The House has not yet taken up
the matter of railroad rate regu-
lation, the special message of
Governor Ansel having been
sent in on this subject only on
Saturday. Neither has the Ii.
quor question been touched on
this last week, and since the pre-
liminary skirmish on the Nash
prohibition bill there has been
nothing said on the subject. The
Charleston low license dispensa
ry bill has been killed; there
was only one round in this fight
and the bill was put to sleep
without any todo whatever.
The elections was disposed OF
early in the week and since that
that time the members have set
tied down to business in earnest.
This session there is no definite
policy ahead; the General As
sembly having defined itself on
the liquor question last year, is
now rather much lost to know
what to take up, and the chance,
as frequently said before in this
correspondence, is an exoellen
one for constructive legislation
that will do the State real bene.
fit. But there is not much evil
dence of constructive efforts;
there is food of bills, over ono
thousand in this General Assem-
bly's two sessions, but many of
them are local measures, many
more are wholly impractical and
visionary, and only few are
destined to accomplish any sub
stantial results.

Tillman's Great Speech His
Views on Immigration and
the Race Question.

~ N. 1illman last night deliver
ed in the state capitol an address
on immigration as it affects the
race question. He spoke in re-
sponse to an invitation from the
general assembly. The address
lasted not quite two hours and
was closely followed by those
present.
Cn the race problem the sena-
tor touched, arguing in the main
for repeal of the 18th amend
ment Of the constitution of the
United States, but his main ar
gument WAS that South Carolina
needs more settlers of the light
sort, the kind authorized in the
act creating the department. OF
agriculture, commecre and i'm
migration, and the only way to
get these settlers is by advertis-
ing the advantages of South Car
o!lna-a plan now being used in
he West, where there are also
many advantages, where the ne
gro is not met in competition.
Senator TillrIan aualyzed the
result OF his lectures In the North,
told of the disappearance of Sec
tional feeling and closed with a
strong plea for more education
of the whites, calling attention
to the growing extent of the edu-
cation of the negroes, pointing
out the fact that the constitution
of 1895 was only a tenn porary
remedy and emphasizing the
growing danger of the use of the
educated negro for political pur-
poses.
He believes that the most
dreadful crisis is ahead of us and
claimed that he could prove it to
an intelligent audience. Some
have said there Is no race prob
lem; that it was solved by the
convention of 1S9 5; that the ne.
groes are now quiet, why stir it
ups These very men were op
posed to this convention and as
II was one Of those who sdgoca-
ted the convention have a right
to speak and chow that every.
thing is not quiet"
1t is true the new constitution
disqualified many negroes and
that the government IL now con-
ducted by white men, but his
analysis OF conditions is that de-
spite the educational and suffrage
qualifications, the expediens is
only temporary, not Q remedy
but the best that could Be done
at the time. Therefore he want.
ed to warn the people ,bat the
terms Of the constitution reoujr
ing man TO road and write or
pay taxes on $500 Of property
before he could vote, might roact.

showed that more negroes were

phaslze this, but they are here.
Nothing has saved the South
from the negro being tho balance
OF power but the democratic pri
mary. He referred to North
Carolina and "the capture of
that state by Pritchard". Such
thing would not happen in
South Carolina in his day.

the problem had not yet been

there was only one answer to the

In America with the most glor
ious history. All this should
nerve us to get at once more
white men and white women in
South Carolina. In his travels
acFos the continent he had not
iced that other states want more
settlers and great many of
these states have far more advan
tages and it could be easily un-
derstood why the people are not
breaking their necks to get here.

do not want newcomers. He
would ike 30 adopt that theory,
but conditions are such that set
tiers are needed and are neces-
ssry. As to what kind is best,
he declared that he had fellow
feeling for the English, German
and Irish, having that blood in
his veins. He, however, in going
through this state was struck
with the good stock, the pure
blood and the fact that every ci-
tizen was proud of the state.
More of this kind are needed.
