He said that the present superintend-
ent of the asylum lives in a house il

Attacks the Legislature.
The legislature was scored. for
creating new Offices, among them the
State board Of charities and correc-
tions. "If any man can show me
where this Office has done dollars
worth of good Ill vote for that man
for governor" he said. He charged
that the secretary of the board re-
ceives more than the governor of the
State, adding the amount for eX-
penses.
The former governor charged that
there are two men in the State hold
ing commissions under the present
governor as constables who have
never made a raid in their lives. One
of these, he said, works in cotton
mill and receives So day for being
constable-all to build up a political
campaign.
He declared that he would not at
tack any mans personal character
during the campaign. but he would
take care of himself in the event his
own was attacked.
The head of the State convention,
Mr.. Blease said, was one of the lead
ing corporation lawyers in the up
country, being attorney for the West
ern Union Telegraph company. The
Blease people offered the convention
a farmer instead, but he was turned
down" for a corporation man. He
said that the reason he suggested
Gov. Manning as a member of the
big four" to the national Democratic
convention ives because he respected
the governors office, not because he
mas one grain of respect for Richard
I. Manning.
He hooted at the idea of saying
that factionalism was dead, charging
that the present administration car
ried everything its own way by the
use of the steam roller showing the
strongest sort of bias and prejudice.
Mr.. Rlease. said that he was glad
that the convention had turned down
the request of the warehouse commits
sioner for place On the programme.
He said that he had told Mr. Nc
Laurin to follow the campaign this
summer. He himself, no had prom

new flour mill, e-,s:it miles from the
county seat, yesterday. The former
governor was applauded frequently
Mr.. Blease declared that he Was
not ru2ning for governor now be-
cause he wanted the job, but he was
runains because he was representing
the great band of ''reformers" whlcn
was organized in 1890, ard because,
at a conference of the followers OF
this movement held in Columbia, at
which there were 262 representative
South Carolinians present, he was
called upon again to lead the fight for
the people. He said that he had en-
deavored then, as he had endeavored
before. to get another to take up the
cause: but to this they would not
accede and he was now running be-
cause he felt that he could be Of
service to his people not to himself.
Mr.. Blease declared that no living
man knew the reasons which moved
him to resign as governor four days
before his term expired, but one OF
them was to give the Baptists OF
South Carolina an opportunity to have

greatest men, the late C. A. Smith OF

Law and Order.
Mr.. Blease, charged that more white
women had been assaulted by ne
groes since he left the governors
Office than in ten years before; IA
more white men have been killed by
negroes in South Carolina since. he
gave up the goyernorship than before,
and yet, he said, people talk about
law enforcement and accuse the
BIease administration of lawlessness.
All this crime is not being perpetrat-
ed by "Bleaseite convicts" either; for,
he said, only two out of the enormous
number of 1875 that received pardons
or paroles from him had since gone
wrong, according to the best infor-
nation obtainable. The speaker
charged that aine crimes out OF every
ten in South Carolina are committed

admirers. He said that a day or two
ago he was asked by man If he
7ould turn out the convicts as he
did before if BE were again elected
he replied that he would not, because
they were not in the pentteG tiary and
on the -chaingangs to turn out-he
had cleaned things out during his
four years IN the governors Office,
he said.
Six convicts had received pardons
or paroles from the present governor
on Friday, he said, and, according to
the reports they were pardoned a.
the suggestion of the pardon board,
to whom strong petitions had been
made; but during his administration
he had no need for pardon board,
he went down to the penitentiary and
opened the gates. The law then, as
now, provided for a pardon board and
he gave these positions to his friends,
but acted purely On his own initiative,
he declared, saying further that he
was governor, "and even my bitterest
enemies won't deny that fact"
Mr.. Blease said that the present
governor is not the governor of the
people, but the acting governor con-
troled by corporate interests and born
with silver spoon in their mouths. >
Plea for Education.
The speaker made strong appeal
for education, asserting that the hope
of the country depends upon the edu-
cation of the boys and girls. He
scored the legislature for what he
termed extravaganza in its appropri-
ations to Clemson, Winthrop, and
other higher institutions, and for al
legged inequality in the distribution Of
public funds to the rural schools. No
body on earth knows and nobody will
ever know, he said, how much money
Clemson college gets. He said that
the average country boy and girl
could never reach the point where
they can enter these colleges and that
the free scholarships are handed out
to the rich-to those who are amply
able to pay for their children's school
ing.
Mr.. Blease said that when he turned
Dr.. Babcock out of the asylum his
opponents declared that no other man
could fill his place; that the insane
had been treated unfairly and the
asylum itself ruined, but as soon as
the other forces came into power,
they put in a man who used to be Sec
-retary TO the State board OF health at
salary of $1,000 a year at the head
Of the asylum, with salary of $4,000,

Trouble with the walls of the drain
age canal in the Waiolama reclama-
ton work at fIilo has been exagger-
ated, according to statement made
today by Acting Superintendent w. e,
Woodward of the department of pub
lie works.
"On short section of the completed
wall shows slight depression, not
more than half an inch or an inch,
he said. "The wall is not sinking
out of sight or anything like it. The
trouble is that we have now come to
a part of the swamp much softer than
that previously encountered.
This section of the wall hast start
ed sinking, showing us that we have
now reached point where We find
the remainder of the wall to be built
is going to sink If we put 1t in by
the same methods used in the part
already built We will have to build

Engineer w. R. Hobby of the pub

stability of the remainder to be built.
