The reception committee was at the
lepot at ?1 :iK) p. in. on Monday to receive
jofernor Thompson. .Senator Hampton,
Vttorney-tieneral Miles and lion. I. M.
Jryan, and escorted them to the resilences
of the gentlemen who were to cnertain
them. The Abbeville Hand in its
iplendid red wagon, with numerous
Juited States liags floating therefrom,
ed the procession to the depot. The
iovernor's Guards formed in open
auks in the depot, and the honored
ipeakers passed tiirough to their carriages.
Outside Maj. Zeigler, with fifty
nonnted red shirts, was ready to wel:ome
thein with a yell of 1870.
At night the torchlight procession
van formed at the Court House under
'omiiinnil of Cliinf 'Marshal Honhnin.
dnj. Zeigler's company, Captain Evans'
jobarion company, Captain C. A.
tY kite's company ami Captain J. B.
Moseley's made tip a contingent of two
nindred mounted men. Tho Governor's
jnurds and very many others on foot
welled the throng. Led-.by the Abberille
Hand the procession; armed with
laming torches, marchc'd to a point opposite
the residence of Mr. J. M. Giles;
.hen countermarched and proceeded to
i point opposite the residence of Col.
Robertson, and returned to the square
tnd was massed in front of the balcony
jf the new hotel. Upon this balcony
tvere a large number of beautiful wornin.
Hon. \V. C. Benet, with some of
he speakers, occupied central places.
As soon as the music ceased, Mr. Benet
ntroduced Gov. Thompson to the enthusiastic
audience below. The Governor.
in view of his much speaking in
this campaign ami of his onerous duties
jn the morrow, excused himself after
thinking the audience for their warm
welcome, and saying it gratified him to
?ee that in gallant old Abbeville the
tires of enthusiasm and patriotism that
redeemed South Carolina in 1876 still
blazed brightly. As soon as the Governor
had finished, loud ?:ries arose for
Hampton; but he was not present, and
the chairman introduced the Hon. C. 11.
Milts. The Attorney-General said he
liad often hoard that South Carolinians
were the hungriest people for speeches
lie over saw, and from this demonstration
he thought it was true; but that on
the morrow they would have their fill.
Tho Attorney General paid some graceful
compliments to the chivalry and
beauty of Abbeville. Hon. 1. M. Bryan,
Klector at Large, was next presented.
Mr. Bryan spoke well and wisely that the
county of Abbeville was consecrated in
its past by memories of the illustrious
statesman Calhoun, the brilliant orator
McDullie, and by the lives of hundreds
of warriors who died in her defense. Mr.
Bryan was loudly cheered. At this
juncture the crowd called lustily for
Mr. Bcnet, and in response he made a
speech lull of wit and hapjry hits. He
said infer alia that he wunted the band
to learn to play before the 4th of November
the Mulligan Guards. That Mr.
Blaine had been dancing to the tunc of
Fit Iter's hornpipe, and on the 4th of No- i
vein her would be buried to the tune of
the Mulligan Guards.
After Mr. tenets speech, cries of
Cothrau! Cothran ! arose and would
not be stilled. The ?Judge had refrai.ied
from getting on the stand, and wus
standing quietly in the rear of the
crowd. But he ^vas unearthed and
brought forward amidst wildest enthusiasm.
The Judge spoke in that magnetic
voice that led the Democracy
of Abbeville in the stormy days of '7(5.
He said he did not think the Judicial office
ought to be carried into politics and
it was fortunately true that there was
now no great necessity. But if necessary
he would take the olfice into politics
for the salvation and redemption of his
Slate. The crowd unceremoniously unhorsed
the Chief Marshal, and escorted
him to the stand. Cupt. Bonham said
that in this campaign he was prepared
10 expcim ni? cioqucnce 111 action ana
threatened to court martial his men
who h:ul so summarily dismounted him.
Cries of Gary ! brought Col. K. B. Gary

The Democracy Triumphant.
TJiia day considering all tho tdvorse
circumstances has been a grand triumph
for the loyalty of the Abbeville Democracy.
Tho elements conspired to bring
defeat upon tho occasion?tho discouraging
prospect of tho crops, was enough
to dampen the ardor and turn patriotic
thoughtrf towards provision against the
.wolf at tho door. Notwithstanding all
this Abbeville County has shown her
true fealty to the principles of democracy
and tho honest effort for reform.
?ne nas spoil me ucpArtmg guests with
recollections of a gala day, unsurpassed
ho far in the campaign. It was without
doubt the finest display that has
been made wince 187(5.
Before the dawn's last star had paled,
the roar of tho catinon from the Antrcville
artillery opoued tho ball. From
dawn until ten o'clock the mounted red
.shirts from all parts of the county were
pouring in up every hill by which the
town is approached. Their enthusiasm
found vent in cheer after cheer, as they
moved towards the rendezvous. Tlu
clouds' of dust almost obscured tht
horsemen.
The place of meriting had been np
pointed at the park in front of the Pres
bytorian Church, And thither the clam
werq mustered. At ton o'clock n?;*rlj
all had gathered except tho Troy aw
Duo West contingent. Hy clever
o'clock the sweet strains of tho Du<
Wost Coruet Band led by 1). H. Magill
Ksq., the best amateur cornetist in the
State, were hvard approaching, ami soon
the column took up the line of march
headed by Capt. M. L. lionham, .Ir.,
Cliief Marshal ami Aides W. S. Cothran
and L. Ward law Smith. They were
followed by the Abbeville Hand which
was in .splendid tune. Then followed
Maj. Zoigliri's company of over three
hundred men. The Major showed that
he was eminently the man for the place,
and vindicated the wisdom of the choice
of the two clubs at the Court House,
who elected him Captain, lie had a
splendidly mounted and equipped command
and carried the day. Then followed
in "magnificently stern array"
the following most excellent commands :
The Antrevillc mounted club and the
Antrevillc Artillery, commanded by
Capt. John 10. Hrownlec, 150 men.
Tiik Link ok March.
The Lowndesville Club, Capt. J. H.

The carriages containing the distinguished
speakers, were interspersed in
the procession.
The Governor was escorted down by
his Guard of Honor, "The Governor's
Guard"?a juvenile command under
Captain Hertford Parks. This command
looked admirably?uniformed in red
shirts and fully up to the enthusiasm of
the day.
. Down Main street the column moved,
"majestically slow" until they reached
the intersection of Main and Magazine
streets. Turning down Magazine street
the red shirts moved on ; the Bands in
the mean time playing inspiring pieces.
A short line of march down Depot
street thfen brought the column to the
Fair Ground, where arrangements were
made for the'speaking.

Dr. H. T. Sloan, v ^ .
A ft or lit- Sliinn'H urnver. Mr. HonoL
the County Chairman, yamc forward a;ul
said:. jpLadies
and Gentlemen: J do not knowhow
to express the sentiments uppermost
in my mind ns I stand looking at
this vast assemblage of the red shirt
Democracy, from the uttermost parts of
Abbeville County. You ore on honor
to your county ond the whol j litate of
South Carolina j^>proud of you. It is
not my purpose" nowever, to moke you
a speech on this occasion, but 1 have the
high privilege and honor of introducing
to you one whom you 1iaVe honored for
eight years?six years as Superintendent
of Education and two years os
Governor of the State?and who has
never proved recreant to any trust. I
refer to your distinguished Chief Executive.
Governor Hugh S. Thompson.
Governor Thompson was received
with tremendous applause, and after its
abatement, spoke in substance as follows:
Oovkiinoii Thompson's Oi.'KEch.
Mr. Chairman, Ladies ond Gentlemen:
The Confederate General, Forrest, when
asKCU me uesi way 01 winning uuiui.-k,
replied "Ily getting the most men on the
field first." Abbeville County seemed
to have acted on this advice, for she had
more men here than he had seen anywhere
in the State during this campaign.
He wns confident from the magnificent
demonstration of welcome given
the canvassers last night, that the Democracy
were in earnest, and that tho enthusiasm
would remain unabated until
the 4th of November should roll up a
magnificent majority for the Democracy
and for Cleveland and Hendricks. Nothing,
though, had pleased him more than
the attention he had received from that
band of boys, tho Governor's Guards,
and he desired to thank them fov.it. and
doubted not but that the material of
which great men are formed were in its
ranks, and who would grow up to make
Abbeville as famous in the future as her
; Calhoun, McDuffie, Wardlaw, Perrin
and Burt had done in the past, \ He had
come hcrtf, though, to givo <nj) account
of his stewardship, and was glnd to ho
able to say that every pledge had. been
redeemed. He compared the condition
of tho State with tho ten years previous
to '76. and showod urt tho&oou#e"5uW
of Democratic government to^thjjfjvw pT
low taxes, -impartial administration of
tlfu.laws and security to life and property.
He regretted the absence..oft',the
Stato Treasurer, who was much better
prepared to show up these facts. . He
then referred to the ticket recently nominated
by the Republicans, but feared
them not, and if the people South
Carolina expressed at" the-' ballot-box
their dcHiro to retain the Democracy in
power, nothing short of the bayonets cf
tho United States army could place a
scalawag in the gubernatorial ichair. He
regretted the indifferenco manifcsced in
a good many places to tho Federal election.
It was important, in order to perpetuate
the good government ,at home.
He then branched out intb the history
of. the two parties, showing that the
Democratic party took charge of the
government in its infancy and made it
the admiration of the world,' while the
Republican party was conceived in hate,
born in animosity and cherished in corruption.
He then compared tho two
Presidential candidates, and closed by
i saying that ho would havo no fears of
the result if the Democracy of the
whole country would do their duty as
nobly as ho knew the men of Abbeville
! would.

| interrupted by great applause. At the
, close of his speech and after music by
( the Abbeville Band, Mr. Benot came
, forward and said that J.udge Cothran,
, though Unwilling to mako' .a speech,
j would introduce tho next speaker. Thi#
was received by an universal outburst
of applause, which continued for several
| minutes. After quiet was restored,
. Judge Cothran said:
r - JlTDOF. J. S. COTIIKAX.
I My friends: I never, felt prouder ol
1 old Abbeville than to-day. Wo have
2 been together, too. in times that hav<
, I tried men's souls. You have *ccota<
plished grand results, and I know thai
you will never consent to their being
undone. Hut i am not to make a speech,
I am to introduce to you one imioli
mory accustomed to it now than 1 am.
and who can doit much better?one wh<
like Paul* has sat nt the feet of CSamaliel
?our last Attornej'-General, as true n
man as ever lived, the Hon. Charle>
Richardson Miles.
ATTOHNEY-G KNKItAI. M11.KS.
Mr. Miles was received with great enthusiasm,
and made a chaste and polished
address. His style was pure anil
his demeanor dignified, in striking bul
pleasing contrast to the typical stum[:
orator
?"Who spends his toil
Kin- the vain Irihntc of n smilo."
Mr. Miles urged upon the Democracy
the importance of turning' out at the
polls that the liberties we had gained in
'70 might be protected That the Hepublican
party was alive yet, and it*
eHurts in the face of defeat convinced
him that they had a great amount ol
fighting qualities left yet. Particularly,
said lie, ought the Democracy bo alerl
to overcome the immense Republican
majority in the lower part of the StaU
and give the electoral vote of tho State tc
Cleveland.
Mr. Henet announced that he had
been so fortunate in capturing one Judge
he thought he would try it again, lie
would call on him not as a Juilgf! but a*
a soldier to introduce it General. The
cheers and cries for McGowan were
exceedingly en thusiastic.
JuiHiK McGowan.
Judge McGowan said: That wan t
glorious shout; [applause] I love to heni
it! [applause.] It sounds like music ir
the air. It reininels me of olelen times
when you fought and bled and stifFcrce
together. I know.it comes from kinel
hearts, from prouel bear's, from loving
hearts?just such hearts as 1 know the
people of Abbeville, have. But I have
not a speech for you; I have a duty te

Death of Dr. Eihvin I'urkcr.

> We writu with unfeigned sorrow of
. the death of J)r. Kdwin Parker, which
event occurred at his home in this town
about half past five o'clock on Sunday
evening, Oct. 5. He had been sick more"
1 than a week, and Ins relatives had given
p up all hope of his recovery, but the end
1 came suddenly at last and the communii
ty was startled by the announcement of
I his death. Dr. Parker was the eldest
1 son of the late Captain Thomas l'arker,
> and was the brother of our townsmen
5 Win. II. Parker, Esq., and Mr. Edward
1. Parker. He graduated in medicine at
' tho Charleston Medical College, and
* practiced in this county and in Alabama
* and Mississippi. After his return from
the West he settled in this place where
he has since resided. He married Miss
Eugenia Calhoun, the daughter oi .

was sixty-one years old. He was pecu>
liarly faithful to his profession. At all
* hours and without reference to the condition
of the weather or his own health.
3 ho responded to the call that summoned
him to the bedside of tin; sick and suf*
fering. Even after his fatal illness had
set in he arose from his bed to visit a patient
in whose case he felt much interi
est. Literally he died in the harness.
i Monday evening at five o'clock he was
1 laid to iest beside his wife, in tho KpisI
copal cemetery.
a He died of congestion of the lungs
t and suffered much. Who will not utter
1 the prayer that God will give rest to his
soul, and comfort his bereaved and
t stricken family,
