ordinary brilliancy at the bar be bad v been selected as attorney. Just about tbis time Earle turned to Detective Newbold, wbo was sitting on the stand, and said: "If I do tbis gentleman an injustice, I beg bis pardon ; but it is said that be has been employed to go around the etate to protect Governor Evans." Evans?He went around with Tillman. About tbis time the stand fell with a crash ; but nobody was hurt. As it went down Governor Evans denied that Newbold was there to protect him. "I can protect myself," he said. "I do not need any protection." Earle?If you did, a detective would v not stand in the way. Evans?No, because I would be before him. ??-? - -1? this is an cnwas p,by> icuibi?cu Earle and then went on with bis speech. There were uo further developments of further interest except that Earle said he wanted the statement of Mr. Tompkins about the dispensary meetings for future use. v AT BENNKTT8VILLE. The Bennettsville meeting was in most respects a repetition of that held in Chesterfield the day before. During a colloquy between Earle and Evans, Earle warned Evans against a repetition of the delicate language be used toward him at Chesterfield. Evans said he would use such language as he saw fit and Earle replied : "Then *? you will do it at your peril." Earle continued to insist that Tillman was not aware of the connection between Evans and Rhind, when Rhind was employed to manipulate the bond deal, and Evans read the following letter: Tbenton, 8. C., July 20, 1896. v To Hon. J. T. Duncan, Columbia, S. C. My Deak Sib?Your letter of July 5th, addressed to me at Chicago, reached me in the midst of the hurly burly attending tne national convention, and of course there was neither time nor inclination to answer it. I reached home on the 14th, but had not recovered from the fatigue and excitement before the shocking tragedy " occurred which snatched from me my first born. I mention these things by way of explanation of the delay in replying to your letter. Frankly,.! must say that I am sorry you wrote any letter, for as I am dragged reluctantly into this matter, I must speak with my usual bluntness. I have always regarded you as my personal and political friend, and as a good and true Reformer; and for personal n. reasons I would be glad to help you in anyway. You have a perfect right to aspire to any office in the gift of the people and to use all honest and honorable efforts to secure votes. I must say, however, that you had no right to make use of the private conversation which you had with me in a manner calculated to deceive the pub ;n lie. mere woe uuuuug iu wo u?uio of a consultation about it. You did not breathe a word, or intimate even your purpose of becoming a candidate, and the tenor of our entire talk was, as you know, one of malignant criticism, on your part, of Governor Evans, while I defended him or a9ked for proofs of your accusations. I did tell you that I expected to v take no part iu the election of senator because I believed the people of South Carolina to be competent to judge for themselves, and that I have no right in anywise to attempt to direct or dictate their decision. You did me a wrong, when, as you are reported to have said in one of your recent speeches you claimed I could "make whom I pleased senator." It is an accusation v of "bossism" which the people must resent and which you yourself must feel to be untrue. If you were not in the heat of battle in which selflove and vanity are calculated to blind you, you would see what is apparent to every unbiased and calm mind, that you are unjust to Governor Evans, ?" ? -3 ??? AAMAlllQIAnO V* O f UUU uavo juiupcu iu tvuuuoivuo iuat k. are unwarranted. How can Governor Evan9, working for or accepting a fee from Rhind for legal services rendered before and after the contract with the syndicate was signed, be distorted into "dishonesty ?" Rhind received a commission for his services to the syndicate ; Governor Evans is to receive a fee for his services to Rhind. I did not know the nature of the agreement between them, because it did not concern me. But I did know that Evans was acting as Rhind's attorney for I could not help but know it, when he acted as counsel in both the friendly suits brought before the supreme court, in connection with the bond issue. His connection with the case is a matter of record. What I stated at Walterboro was true then and is true still. Governor Evans had nothing to do with the making of the contract or the signing of it. That was the work of Dr. Bates and myself. Rhind organized the syndicate with the assistance * of Lancaster and Williams, and they agreed to pay him a certain commission. Dr. Bates and I, responsible instruments in the transaction, were in constant areaa mat me ueai would fall through and the state debt not Be refunded, as one obstacle after another presented itself. The judges * of the supreme court lent every assistance in their power by speedily determining the question of law presented to them. Every department of the state government was willing and anxious to lend aid towards refunding the debt. Governor Evans had nothing to do with the transaction except in his capacity as attorney for the broker, whose commission was at stake if the deal failed. If you were not blinded by prejudice and passion you would be bound to acknowledge what every lawyer it v' the state would assert and sustainthat his being a state senator could it no wise make it dishonorable or dis honest to practice his profession undei the . circumstances presented in this case. If you will remember, my last r words to you that night when we bad our conversation at Mr. Bunch's were : "Take care that envy is not at the bottom of this, and that the people in the state house do not accomplish the overthrow of the Reform movement, if you keep on fighting one another in this way," and now I repeat the warning. If I saw anything in Governor Evans's conduct to condemn, I would not hesitate; but believing, as I do, that be has been guilty of no official misconduct, I cannot lend any help to drag him down or allow any one else to use me as the instrument of his undoing. Yours truly, B. R. Tillman. P. S.?Governor Evans was written me asking an explanation of your charges, etc., in connection with our conversation, and I have sent him a copy of this letter as an act of justice to him and to you. B. R. T. When the reading of the fetter was coDcluded, Mr. Duncan said : "Govornor Evans, may I ask you a question ?" Evans?Not one, sir. I want no more to do with that man. I told the people at Charleston I was going to buy a jackass with some of my fee. I will give it to Duncan to advertise himself with throughout the state. AT DARLINGTON. The campaign meeting at Darlington developed nothing of importance except that Judge Earle answered questions that had been propounded by A. G. Kollock, after having first made Eollock admit that he had gotten his information from J. J. Dargan, the man who tried to stir up the Negroes in the last campaign. One of the questions insinuated that Earle bad with drawn irom ioe legiaiHuve iu 1876. Earle explained that he did so for the good of the party to make room for a man who had announced bis intention to run as an independent. He denied the insinuation that he bad advised a bolt when the Sumter delegation was unseated in 1890, but admitted that he was very angry. He had, however, refused the next day to run as an independent and had refused to support Haskell. Dargan tried to ask TV- ?1 ~ nnoodAna Kut. T?.nrlf> r?nn ?jQUC OUUIV VjUVOWiuuuj wv?v v?-? temptuously ignored him. EvaDS and Duncan spoke as usual. Earle and Evans were both cheered; but the majority of the crowd seemed to be with Evans. POPULISTIC CONVENTION. ' Probability of the Endorsement of the Democratic Nominee. During the past week, St. Louis has again been the all absorbing centre of political interest. The Populist and Silver conventions convened last Wednesday, and both Republicans and Democrats have been watching closely to see what they are going to do. Since the action of the Democratic convention at Chicago, the Populist leaders have been in a quandary. The Democrats either adopted literally, or in a modified form, all the important ?Via T>iinnliata a n ft lpft. UCIiiOUUO VI bAIV JL V|/UI?W%W) wmm practically nothing upon which a new party can stand. The Populist leaders, of course, have all the while been preaching measures above men, and the rank and file of the party being among the most earnest and sincere voters in the country, that they must now vote with the Democrats is a logical consequence. The leaders recognized this as fully as anybody and that is what gave the trouble. When the Populist delegates first commenced to arrive in St. Louis on Monday and Tuesday, they were totally at sea as to the best course to pursue. Most of the leaders advised that they keep "in the middle of the road that is that they go on and adopt a platform and nominate candidates regardless of what was done by either of the other old parties. They advised that if Bryan and Sewall were endorsed the Populist party would go out of ex istence, and at its next convention the Democrats would abandon the principles it bad set up. Other leaders, like Lafe Pence, urged that the only thing that the Populists wanted was measures; the Democrats were offering to give them all the relief they could hope for ; by voting for the Democratic candidates they could win, and the fight would be over; the only thing that could be saved by independent action would be a few sheriffs and justices of the peace of benefit only to the individuals who were drawing salaries. "Coin" Harvey, ex-Governor Waite and several others of the most influential leaders backed Pence. Finally, a majority of the convention seemed to come together on the proposition to endorse Bryan, but to put up a southern Populist for vice president instead of Sewall. The objection urged against Sewall was that he was a national banker, and no Populist could consistently vote for him. The convention was called to order on Wednesday morning by H. E. Taubeneck, chairman of the executive committee, and Francis Marion Butler PorAlino xvaa olppfprt tpmnn. U1 IIU1 111 vaiviiuu) *?v<w?vv* rary chairman. Butler made a speech that was well received, and it showed ' a decided leaning toward the policy of nominating a new ticket. The report of the committee on platform was as follows: First?We demand a national currency, safe, sound and flexible, issued by the ! general government only, a full legal tender for all debts, public and private, and | that without the use of banking corporations. Second?We demand the free and un, limited coinage of silver at the present , legal ratio of 16 to 1. Third?We demand that the amount ol the circulating medium be speedily in creased in sufficient quantity to transact | the business of the country on a cash . basis. Fourth?We demand a graduated in come tax. i Fifth?We believe that the money ol . the country should he kept as much aa . possible in the hands of the people, hence we demand that all state ana national i revenues shall be limited to the necessary expenses of the government, economically and honestly administered. Sixth?We demand that postal savings banks be established bv the government for the safe deposit of the earnings of the people and to facilitate exchange. Seventh?Transportation being a means of exchange and a public necessity, the government should operate the railroads in the interest of the people. Eighth?The telegrapn and the telephone; like the postofflce system, being a necessity for the transmission of news, should be operated by the government in the interest of the people. Ninth?The land, including all the natural sources of wealth, is the heritage of all the people and should not be monopolized for speculative purposes and alien ownership of lands snould be prohibited. All land now held by railroads and other corporations in excess of their natural needs, and all land now owned by aliens should be reclaimed by the government and held for actual settlers only. rT"? k?? u-oon f Kn f tun fan. lac Ulg UgUV ucinvvu vuv f TV w 1MV lions came uu Thursday over the elec liou of permanent chairmau. The "middle of the roaders" nominated James Caropiuu of Maine, for the pus ition, aud the Bryan people nominated Senator Allen of Nebraska. Allen was elected by a vote of 768 to 564. The Bryan peole were enthusiastic, and the "middle of the roaders" were very much cast down.. Nothing else of importance was done during the day ; but before adjournment, it looked like a certainty that Bryan would be endorsed. Whether Sewall would be endorsed also, was a matter of doubt.
