Tlio speaking by the Senatorial
candidates here Friday was at- ,
tended by probably TOO people,!
including a good contingent from
Chester comity. 1 here were but
two speeches, Mi jMayliold iiav- |
in<? announced his withdrawal!
from the race at Yorkville and

cumiitioi), iie having been so ov<?r-1
c'. ; io by t . xilit* fpealunj; it
Yorkville that he fainted as he
v i*.it out of the court house.
Irby and ICvang were the only!
speakers present. The speaking
took place from a temporary stand
in the court house yard. l'he meet- |
ing was opt aed bv an appropriate j
prayer by Rev. S. X. Wat.-on,'
when County chairman 1'brtei '
introduced Col. Irby as the first1
speaker. Col. Irby made a good
impression upon our people, few |
of whom had ever heard him bo- i
fore. Evans had a good many |
friends in the crowd, though there (
was little enthusiasm manifested
by the crowd for either of the1
speakers.
liuth used a good deal of pop-:
py cock talk designed to catch
the votes of the unwary. For1
instance, Col. Irby argued that!
McLaurin's tarill' views were Re
publican, but he admitted having!
voted for a tariff on rice in the'
Wilson bill, lie told the people
that the suit of clotiies for which
they had been paying $4.50 or $5
would now cost them $12 or $15
and that that is a result of the
tarilf favored by McLaurin, when j
in lact the Diugley bill was not
voted for by McLaurin at all, but
is a purely Republican measure,
advocated and passed by the Republicans
to supplant the Wilson

crease in the cost of clothing is'
nothing like as great as this;
"Statesman out of a job" would |
have the people believe. If you j
will ask any dealer in clothing j
about the increase in the price ;
he will tell you that it is not over
ten per cent, as W. (Jati6on, J,
M. Heath and T M. Fitzpatrick
told us. That means that the
suir ior which you paid $4-50,
would now cost you not, over
$4.75 and the suit for which you
paid $5 under the Wilson bill !
will now cost you not over $5.501
instead of $PJ or $15, as stated by
Col. Irby.
Mr. Kvaus advocated free raw
material at somt* m^th, which
means that the producer of the
raw materials is to have no
protection while the men who
manufacture the raw materials j
lff'\ Illl tllM riPAlnnluwi nn.l I "
cause of the duty beintr placed on'
the manufactured prod nets alone,
the protection thus furnished the
manufacturer"is necessarily very
much groater than if divided between
the raw material and the
manufactured product. These are
fair specimens of the arguments
produced by the-e two speakers.
The following is the reporter's'
account of the speeches as published
.n the daily papers;
Co! Irb\ br-gsn by disclaiming
that lie was a "prophet or the
son of a phophet," but a few days
ago he had said this race would
narrow down to Kvans and him-l
self and "to-day it looks as if'
that prophecy were fulfilled."'
Mr. McI.aurin had down the pit'
yesterday and Mr. McLaurin was
lint In.iluv Willi tliu^u "'"I' '
atorv remarks, Col. Irhy, then
briefly reviewed hi? political
record from bin election to the
legislature in 18NS to his with-1
drawal from the senatorial race
last year. He was prevented from |
entering that race because of the
enmity ho had incurred in oppo-1
sine the adoption of the sufl'rage
clause by the constitutional convention.
Truth is, he declared,'
had Karlo stayed out of the race

the same candidates then as you
have to-day"?Kvans. McLaurin

tives would have supported Mc-1

Laurin. Taking up his record in !
congress, Col. Irby said he had i
cast the deciding vote tor the!
Wilson bill, not that he favored
it, but because he thought it preferable
to tin McKinley bill,
which, would have been perpetuated
lor some tune had he voted
against the Wil-on bill. McLku-!

1 if he favored a diiect tax and
ho answered he did, if it wen
possible to secure the passage of
such a law.
After speaking his 45 minutes,
ho said he would like to show the
people some of the double dealing i
that i< going on and would do so !
were lie well. He contended, how-'
ever, that (ionzales has a scheme I
afoot, to destroy the reform move-1
inent.
"Who is Gonzales V asked I rby,!
and answered that "Gonzales is
the man who, ever since the reform
movement, has sought to
neutralize the vote of the poor
white man by voting the negro."
In concluding, he divided the
conservatives into three rlas-cf?
the hyena class led by Gonzales,
who would vote for the devil him- j
self if he would destroy the reform
movement; the mild conserva
tives who were democrats and,
who were going to vote for "nieM ; i
and the third class who say that
all the candidites are scoundrels ,
and they are not going to vote (
for any of them.
Mr. Kvans at the outset of his'
speech, ieiicitaieu liiuiBelf iiini. ho
had one of his opponents dead \
and the other two sick. It was ,
only by the use of stimulants, he
said, that Irby was able to speak
to-day.
Irby?The only stimulants I've
taken is paregoric. (Laughter.) ,
Mr. Kvans, proceeding, described I
the talk of Irby in opposition to i
the suffrage clause. In the midst J
of it he was interrupted by somo
one in the crowd asking about
rebates. Shaking his linger in the
direction l rotn whence the inquiry
came, Mr. Evans told his inter-1
locator "to shut up that ho had i
heard those dirty lies last year. I
They had been disproved and he;
did not propose to have them told
on him in the future. They were|
only harbored in the breasts of
such cattle as his questioner, and)
if ho did not like his answer he
could "lump it." Mr. Evans being
runs aroused, he proceeded to |
denounce the newspaper nssocia-,
tion ami declared they published |
hut the jokes of the speech ?s an !
left tiie discussion of the real issue
out.
Following up his attack 0:1 the,
combined press of the state, lie
singled out The News and Courier,
which ho said, had edit or idly
condemned McLaurin's tanfV policy
before the campaign. It was
now supporting Mchaurin.!
"Doesn't this look like a nigger
in the wood pile' Is this honest
journalism lie asked.
Mr. Evans, t.aving by this time;
over-m?9tered his eholer. fer live'
minutes or more, indulged in
some of those jokes which he but
a short time before had condemned
the newspapers for publishing.

The democratic! doctrine demauds
a tarill' for ''revenue only '
and free raw materials, declared
Mr. Kvans, and McLaurin favored
neither. Free raw materials, such
as wool, sugar, iron, were a bene-,
fit to tho farmer. If manufacturers i
had free wool which would make
it cheaper they could make cheaper
goods and the farmer could
therefore buy them for less. "You
will have to repudiate Wra.

The News and Courier favors
free raw material, but "it blows
hot one day and cold the next, so
that you can't tell where it
stands," asserted Mr. Evans as he
picked up that paper to read an
editorial where it took issue with
Mr. Mcl.aurm on free raw material.
After reading the editorial he
epitomized it thus: "In other
words, they say Mcl.aurin is a
republican, yet they are supporting
him to-day as a democrat.
Why? Because they hope to return
The State and The News
and Courier to political power in
South Carolina. Mr. Evans then
made his tariff argument along
his usual line.
Col. Irby and Mr. Evans were
asked at the conclusian of their
speeches if they favored the
Stokes bill for the curtailment of
salaries paid federal officers.
Both answered, uyes."
After Col. Irby had finished
his speech chairman Porter announced
that Senator .1. L Mc.
Laurin was to have been the next
speaker, but that he had been unable
to reach here on account of
his physical condition. He then
read the following certificate,
which is self explanatory:
