C., on Thursday evening of laat wct>k4 'J'bo Senator wiih one of the spcake s of the occasion, and addressed the bri! Ilant assemblage present in part Oi follows: Mr. Toastmaker and fiontlomen: \ dofdr? to make a statement of somewhat a personal naturo beforo proceeding with this bpooch, which i intend to deliver tonight. A certain newspaper correspondent in the i-ily of Washington has persistency spread tbo report that I was coming to Char lotto to make a speech whie.h would launch a now party in tho south. The report is absolutely false. If 1 had any auch intention good ta te would j?re vent mo from taking advantage of an ?"importunity of this kind. I am con tent to advocate within Democratic lines the policies which 1 believe to be best for tho south, and when 1 can no longer do this 1 am ready to retire to private life. In the south we are today realizing Rome of tho dreams of its far-reaching statesmen and,,busings men of fifty years ago. With p;v>pheUc eye, thev saw tho Indus.rial and commercial possibilities of <>nr highly favored southland. "With an advance of Thought that is really surprising they suggested en terprises of wonderful magnitude for its upbuilding a,act commercial domi nance. From 18"S t:> 1 GO. conventions were held to voice the demands of a deepsfralcd public sentimea-t for in dustrial progress. The stoVy of these movements is chronicled in a South C-aiollna publication, which, under the name of Debaw'8 Review, did fjfr the Hd south what the Manufacturer's Itc cord is doing for the south today. The same spirit which enabled our fathers to leave tho field of do>at wit'll nothing but their courage and their characters left, still lives, in the souCh, and inspires yuu today in your great undert akirg. The plans of the great southern busi ness men and statesmen of fifty years ago are no longer Idle dreams. Post poned by a cruel war which destroyed our social and industrial system, and which for years reached co-operation In national undertakings aimor-t lm possiblc, such men as 1 meet he e to niirht n.JX} making t.bese dreams actual living realities. WHAT WAHS SETTLED. Talk about the "New South," the name is misnomer. It is ^ the same old spirit revived which sixty-.years ago made tho south the doralhant power in this nation?a position '.of which nothing but war could have Mb. bc-tl her. What we need now to again attain that proud eminence is the sime broad conception and the same com prehensive grasp of tho true situation. The last .wenty years have wrought an industrial revolution lo the south, which must find expression in our so cial and political life. Tho time is pft-st for the discussion as to whether this government is (o be one consolidated in its structure or ft loose aggregation of (so-called) sov ereign States. The elvil^war settled that. v It Is useless to discuss the question of whether this Is to he a purely theo retical Democratic government, or a:i expanding and giant Ropubllc. Tho Spanish war settled that, Why not then accept conditions as they are and make the ftiost of them? The agitation of such issues only serves to sidetrack broad American doctrines and should not l>e mads party questions because they grow out of actual political and economic ?con ditlons, which it is beyond the powwr of either party to change. I care no', of what political falt.h the occupan* <vf the white house might have been: for, if a true American, mindful of Jhe honor and dignity of the nation, tho results of the Spanish war could not be widely different fronv-what they are today. Why should our people be the only ones to close their eyes to what is Kolng on? Why should we move along in the same old ruts and Insist that political policies and old tnJJWWfl^ long since dead, are vital living issues, ftnd depend upon them for the salva (Jon pt the south. IjK^BON OF M'KLNLlEY'S TRWMPH. The triumphant re-election of Mr, McKinley In "the last campaign Is fu}l of significance. It is a stubborn fafct confronting tho Democratic party to day, suggestive of reproachful remem brances and fearful menaces. What a reflection that this new Democracy did not carry a State where the issues were discussed and judgment passed by the people upon them on th*l> merlts. Of course with u? It bar been impossible to decide electlooiupon U ium. It has been simply a question of white supremacy. In the north and tha west, dissolved Into factions, taint *4 by the errors of Republicanism and (ha follies of populism, the party could not withstand the tide of popular op inistftri excKed, by unreasonable crltl cUsnof the oondtfSt of a foreign war. an4 by the Ttctoos and Ins?diary, ap a&d* M IK tbit month of to class hatred^ and pre principles were lost afeM eC and tn an tnsana effort to se ere pa^ty saceeee at any eortjba at socialism wKb 99*k. o' I years have been Allen, Toller. ami I I'ettlgroW, all of them ablo men but urn* a Populist, ono a high-tariff Ito publican, and tl^o other, l do m>t know what. All of them opposed to Stati banks of Issue with proper safeguard ami most other things we hoed .In th< south. This was called t ho "New Democracy" In e-ontradistUu lull from the old, and some of Its leaders -iitel that Its Weeds wore revol .itionary and wore so designed to bo. To sow discontent with industiia waditlon#4 and distrust of th.? govern l'ng power; to array class again-t ? !a<-?. in the hopo of securing fancied so-la and industrial equality, is to my mind the lltHt slop in revolution. The south Is the American end of America, in no section is there so small a fo.Vigu element, so much conservatism, and to pure a patriotism. What a political paradox then it is for our people to bo the allies of profaned revoluti >nis;s elsewhere. To my mind it 1b folly to oppose ex pansion under the name of imperial I ism. It deceives no man of intelll I gonce. He understands that there is | no analogy "between Vifis country an ft I the Roman Empire, and that thoso l who talk of imperialism do not take Into account that power which is born | ot our free institutions, h iorU-efm n the hearts of our peoplo stronger than ! any ever built of stone. As long as this is there they can never become blaved; and when it is doad it mailers not whether under republic or empire, they become an easy prey. It depends upon the people, not the government, ! whether they be slaves or freemen. It Is tho people that make tho govern ment, not the government the people. With a brave, strong, intelligent peo ple, with a free press and popular edu cation, there can be"' no imperialism. Why rhould we be afraid to trust our selves? The whole tendency or tho times and the spirit of the at>,e is to ward Democratic instead of imperial istic ideas of government. livery member of the American con gress, when it comes to a foreign pol icy, a foreign war, and army, a na\y, a merchant marine, or any other .ques tion affecting our honor as a nation, or our prosperity as a people, shoul 1 be free and unira.nineieu to vote as i;U ?judgment, and conscience dictates, l-'or myself, 1 would not, under existing conditions, he willing to y4old a seat in the United tftates senate upon any other terms. To allow others to think for mo upon thene great questions is a cowardly evasion of my responsibili ties, and a criminal neglect of the t rue interests of those wlio select me. We are now in tlx; commercial arena, contesting with tho other nations fo the trade of the world, h'o far wo have built up our foreign trade by in tense absorption in the Internal de velopment of our domestic Industries. We now produce sufficient for tin; needs of twice our population, and not to find a market for our surplus is to invite stagnation and decay. The most striking feature in our ex port development is the remarkable and constantly Increasing demand for our iron and steel. Within six years wo have advanced to the position where American iron and steel enter* i into the construction of every bridge j and railroad in the world or fixes the ! price therefor. f I saw In the papers a few flays a?o that, the Baldwin locomotive works in Philadelphia were supplying the Rus sian government with 150 locomotives for the Trans-Siberian railroad. Th'> facts surrounding this sale are of pe culiar Interest. The KussiiLn govern ment owns Its railroads and main tains large shops. It puts a duty of t cents per pound on Imports, but. when It came to supplying the equipment for this giant road of 8,0:0 miles. It Was found that tliey bud to come to the United Btates. And yet, seven years ago the first iron shipment abroad was from Birmingham, Ala. The south must play an import-ant part in our country's future. For a third of a eontury she has been ham pered by a struggle for mere exist ence, forced to devote all of hor energy and statesmanship to the maintenance of white supremacy. Thank Ood. thi^ is permanent and assured beyond poradvonture of doubt At last"' she has emerged from her' forlorn and prostrate condition; freed from her en thrallment, she can put herself in touch with the best thought of the age, and again exercise an Influence In national life. I believe the time will con/e when the south will be the hope and salvation of this nation. Ht marvelous growth in manufacturing enterprise?, her development of na tural reeoureos, and hor rapid advance In progressive thought and action. Is making her again the leading section In this country. The centre of manu facturing Jn the United States has bwm transferred from/frail River, Mass., !o XJoJumbla, 8. Of But If we would mako the m<?it of our opportunities we must renounce sectional prejudices and support broad national policies, looking to the creation of foreigi market*/ the expansion of trade and the upbuilding of a common country. We must demand And have for the south a [full share of the benefits as well as kfee.burdens of national life. The south is vitally Interested In the Asiatic markets. Her manufacturers are studying the needs of the people in an intelligent effort to torn oat pro ducts suited to those markets. The al > ? I a mt '^0 a . # r? tunttmi of WMJ cosnv mw crwing in recent troabI?fhee caused a glut of ?oodL whfoh l? affected by a fMlin? of three cents a pound In raw cotton.

Senator Mcj.anrin said: j ' I did Intend to vote with the ma ] Jorlty of tho Democrats against tho ratification of the treaty, for reasoh*! on rely of party considers!

In a for eign war already on Jt made the neonle on our troops rebels, and not ns intruders, 'i he im <la\s lacking before an extra session could be call ed might be productive of untold harm. I have never seen the day since when I was not glad that I did have the strength to vote an I thought right. I <1id so freely and with no pledge nr promise to any man. 'Immediately It was published to the world that 1 had been promised Judge Simon ton's place. A more in famously false and cruel slander was never perpetrated. "There hasn't been a time in fivo years when I haven't wished that I could decently and honorably get out of public life. When President Mo Klnley offered me the place intended for a Democrat on the Philippine commission I declined and told .iim that I never wanted anything for my self at his hands, but If through me ho could help South Carolina I want ed him to do it. This is all I ever desire or expect, and If I did not feci that I was helping and could help- my state nothing on earth could Induce me to submit one hour longer to such YitujjcraUon and abuse. "it is no new role," continued the senator, "for Senator Tillman, lie began his career by slandering and j abusing "better men. I have naught but contempt for an intellectual bul ly and shameless pretender masquer ading as a statesman. . n moral pigmy posing as the champion of honesty." , Concerning the charge of plagiar ism Mel .anrin suid: "So far as plagiarizing I)r. Van Dyke's sermon is concerned, it was largely due to accident. I was much struck with its beauty of thought and diction. I had a borrowed copy and dictated from It three Or four senten ces to my stenographer, and in the original, which any one can see, are the words 'paraphrasing the recent utterances of a distinguished divine,' etc. Tlioy were Ief( out of the copy. After making the speech I went south on the next train and never saw the speech again until it was In print. My secretary did not notice it and had distributed several thousand before my attention was called to it." In conclusion Senator McDaurin made this caustin comment: "I sincerely regret the mortification to the sensitive, delicate and refined nature of my colleague. Honors are even, however, for I can assure him that I have experienced similar pangs at some of the 'pitchfork tunes' which lie playcM to the disgust of the senate and the delectation of the gallery loafers.'
