In IS90 he was again elected a member of the House, taking a prominent position as one of the leaders and in introducing several of what was known as "Administration measures." For the past four years he has been chief clerk in the Comptroller General's office, a3d is regarded as one .of the leading Reformers in the State, and he has been a hard worker and has done much of the work of the office.

THE NOBLEST RoMAN OF THEM ALL. Mr. Belton Wation introduced the following resolution, which, of course was unanimously passed. Resolved, by the Democrats of South Carolina, in Convention assenibled, That we heartily endorse the candidacy Df the Hon. Benj. R. Tillman for the United States Senate. Although it was nearly 1 o'clock tome of the delegates wanted to hear 3overnor Tillman, and had the com mittee sent to invite him, but found that he had gone home. The customary resolution of thanks to the chairman was passed, and with a burrah and handshaking with victor ious candidates, and explanations with the others, the Convention adjourned with little thought of what it has done as to platform or anything else. The Convention had worked hard, and the delegates were no doubt glad to go home. THE NEW CONSTITUTION. dopted by the State Convention Held September 19, 1894. Article 3.

ATrLTA GA, PARKER'S HAIR BALSAM A LECTURE ON DEMOCRACY. t Speech of John Gary Evans before the I September Convention lie Says that the Dernocralic and the Ocala Platformas Embody the Same P'rincipleo. [Special Lo News and Courier.J COLUMBIA, September 20.-The g speech of Nominee John Gary Evans I to the convention last night was an important political event. It has put the position of the convention in its i strongest and best light, and has de- < fended as best could be done the mixed 4 platform that was adopted. It was one 4 of the beat speeches Mr. Evans has I made, and the text of the address is i given in full. He Aaid: ] Gentlemen of the Convention and Fellow Democrats: Few men, gentle- I mein, in the history of our State have I been honored as I have been to-night I by you. Recognizing the fact of i my youth I have felt that I can, in deed, thank you from the bottom of I my heart for this honor. I would be ( false to myself if I told you I thought i this is the happiest hour of my life. I I feel that the responsibility resting upon my shoulders ii, indeed, great, but I feel that with the united Democ racy and with the people of South Car olina, whom you represent, supporting me in my effort for honest government, 1 my efforts will not prove futile, and , that the will of the majority of the people of South Carolina will be car ried out at all events. [Applause ] Our government is a government of the majority, and should I be elected to the position of Chief Executive of your State I feel that I would be false to you should I not carry out the will of the majority, when it is fairly ex pressed, at all hazards. [Applause.] We are, gentlemen, Democrats. We see here men who fought for the prin ciples of Democracy; we see here men who sat upon the laps of their mothers ana heard of the brave deeds of their fathers, who fought for State's rights men who sat there, children then, men noW, Democrats now-men who im bibed Democracy with their mother's milk. Tell me that those men, tell me that those gray-haired sires, could be false to South Carolina! It comes with bad grace from any South Carolinian, seeing your com plexion, seeing and hearing your prin ciples, and hearing the voice of South Carolina expressed at the ballot-box, to say -that this grand old State is not safe in your hands. [Applause.] There are some citizens of South Carolina who are fond of attaching a tail to their Democracy. We are Democrats. We are not Cleveland Democrats. We are not any other kind of a qualified Democrat. We owe allegiance to no man. We owe allegiance to the prin ciples which were fought for by you and your fathers and my father, and those principles must be maintained at all hazards. LApplause.1 Why, we have reached a state in the history of our country which was pro phesied by your own statesman, Cal houn. We have reached a state now where parties are not defined by Drin ciples, but are drawn by geographical lines. We find true Democracy in the South and West, the home of principle, whose men fought for State%9 rights, and who are against a centralized1 gov ernment. We find on the contrary the opponents of Jeffersonian Democracy, which means,equal rights to all and special privileges to none-we find those men living in the North and East. We find an effort to centralize the government confined to a section which has grown rich upon the suc cess of principles which have robbed the farmers of the South and West. What is our Democracy? In 1896, I make the prophesy here, that thbe South and the West will be called upon to re deem the Democratic party from the plunderer and the m.onopolist and the millionaires who are growing fearful, if they do not have centralization of the government, that those millions will become the halter which will sur round their necks. A great deal has been said in your convention about Democracy. A great deal has been said by people outside who attach tails to their Democracy against you. In natural history we read that the ape as he grows old be comes suspicious of his tail. It worries him mentally and physically until he dies, believing that that appendage is the cause of his death. Snch will be the fate of such Democrats in South Carolina. [Applause.j There assembled in Ocala under the Southern sun, under the shades of the palmetto and almost "Down on the 'wanee Ribber," a body of the honest yeomanry of the country. Those men did not go there as politicians, not as representing party, but they were there representing the agricultural in terests of this nation. They set forth there certain principles which are com monly known as the Ocala platform. Those principles were set forth as principles that were necessary to rescue their government and to save your in terests, which is the basis of all wealth, agriculturists, fiom the clutches of the Northern Sl'ylock. We who are dependent on agricul ture for our existence sympathized with them. We said in our conven tion, "This is true Democracy and we endorse it here," and I endorse it now. [Applause.] But they say it is nos Democracy. Bear with me a minute and let me show the ignorance of cer tain people who criticise and condemn Jou. Let me show you that those peo Ayer's Sarsaparilla is not a secret preparation. Any physician may have the formula on application. The secret of its success as a medicine lies in its extraordinary power to cleanse the blood of impurities and cure the most deep-seated csses of blood-disease. HEART DISEASE_30 YEARS! Short Breath, Palpitation. Mr. G. W. McKinsey, postmaster of Xokomo, Ind., and a brave ex-soldier says: "I had been severely troubledi with heart disease ever since leaving the army at the close of the late war. I was troubled with palpitation and shortness of breath. I could not sleep on my left side and had pain around my heart. I became so ill that I was much alarmed, and for tunately my attention was called to Dr. Miles' Heart Cure I decided to try it. The first bottle made a decided improvement in miy condition, and five bottles have com pletely cured me." G. W. McKINSEY, P. M., Kokomo, Ind. Dr. Miles' Heart Cure is sold on a.ositive arantee that the first bottle will beefit. druggists sell it at 81;' 6 bottles for 55, or It will be seti, prepald on reept of prce rOn: sALX BY AIL DRtTGGT ile cannot re%-;nize Democracy when hey see it in printer's ink. Let me efer to this platform. The Democratic party in convention ssenbled at Chicago endorsed a plat orn of principles. They are true and epresent honest goverument, and are lear to the hearts of every one of you. rhey have been endorsed by your con mention properly as'true Democracy, nd those principles connected with hem have been endorsed, and I will how you that the National Demo ratic party in convention assembled n Chicago has incorporated a majority if those principles, and that the Demo ,ratic majority in Congress have enaet d into law every principle of that latform not so adopted save on,-. Is iot that the highest evidence of its )emocracy? It reads as follows: "We demand the abolition of na ional banks." That is Democracy as ormulated in Section 8 of the Chicago latform. When tbey asked for the Lbolition of the tax on State banks vbat did that mean? It meant death o national banks, because they cannot ompete with State banks, whose issue s untaxed. "We demand that the amo'tit of the irculating medium be speedily in reased to not less than $50 per cap ta." The National Democratic plat orm deplored the state of affairs of the armers of the country, calling atten ,ion to the tremendous mortgage in. lebtedness upon the farmers, and called m Congress to afford relief. How was hat to be obtained if not by an in rease of the circulating medium? So hat plank is included in the national )Iatform. "We demand that Congress shall ass such laws as will effectually pre ent the dealing in futures of all agri ultural 'aad mechanical productiong; >roviding a stringent system of proce lure in trials that will secure the yrompt conviction, and imposing such >enalties, as shall secure the most per ect compliance with the law." That ias passed the House of Congress, where the Democrats bad over eighty najority, but was defeated ny the Seu Lte. So, is not that adopted by the Democracy? "We condemn the silver bill recently >assed by Congress, and demand in ieu thereof the fiee and unlimited oinage of silver." That demand is nade absolutely in Seetion 7 of the Democratic platform. If English means my thing it means that free and unlim ted coinage was demanded by the Democratic party, but under the pros itution of th President of the United tates a different construction was Alaced upon that demand and we were cheated and defrauded of its ben 4fits. LApplause.] "We demand the passage of lawE prohibiting alien ownership of land, tnd that Congress take prompt action :o devise some plan to obtain all landE ow owned by aliens and foreign syn. Jicates; and that all lands now held by railroads and other corporations in ex ess of such as is actually used and need d by them be reclaimed by the govern ment and held for actual settlers only." Ihat is Section 6 of the Democratic platform adopted at Chicago, and al most identical in language. "Believing in the doctrine of equal rights to -all and special privileges tc none." Those are Jeffersonian princi pies which are set forth in the Cbicagc patform. "We demand that our national legis lation be so framed in the future as not to build up one industry at the expense f another." This is almost identically ection 5 of the Democratic platform dopted at Chicago. "We further demand a removal 01 bhe existing heavy tariff tax from the necessities of life that the poor of our land must have." That is the Demo. 3ratic plank of the Chicago platforml lemanding a tariff for revenue nly. But what have we to-day? WE bave a Democratic House, a Demo. ratie Senate and a Democratic Presl. ent, and we had the right to expect a tariff for revenue only, and yet we bave a bill comparatively little bettei than the McKinley bill. Why? Be. ause the South and the West now raise raw materials cheaper than the Northeazt, and they have a high pro. tective tariff on manufactured prod ucts and demand free raw materials because the farmers consume manufactured rtices and sell t,be raw materials. We asked for bread and they gave us a stone. "We further demand a just and 'quitable system of graduated tax or incomes." That is not incorporated in the Democratic platform, but has bees passed as law by the Democratic part3 in Congress. And that is the stum bling block that will make Republi SPRICKLY ASH, POKE ROOT AND POTASSIUM SMakes ~3Marvelous Cures m~i Blood Poison E3Rheumatism rand Scrofula SP. P.

State has rati fled the course of the Democratic Sen ators of that State in their opposition to this measure, which is not in this platform, and which has been enacted by the United States Congress. And yet these men, these men who say that we are'not Democrats, support a man who voted against that provision, a man who leagued with the Republi cans to defeat that provision, and to defeat silver legislation and other prin ciples of pure Democracy included in the Democratic platform. "We demand the most rigid, honest and just State and National Govern ment control and supervision of the means of public communication and transportation, and if this control and supervision does not remove the abuse now existing, we demand the govern inent ownership of such means of com munication and transportation." They have never demanded the gov ernment ownership of railroads. They simply demanded the control of the railroads, and when we come to the point when it.will be necessary to keep them from owning the people, then we will demand government ownership, and not till then. Is not that pure De mocrazRand for the protection of the people? 'That has beer. enacted by Con gress when the Inter-State commerce bill became a law, and we only ask that the commission be given full power, When you passed your railroad com mission law you gave your commission absolute control of the railroads, with power to fix rates, schedules, connec tions, etc., but you have, never de manded ownership of the roads and you don't desire it. "We demand that the Congress of the United States submit an amend ment to the Constitution providing for the election of United States Senators by direct vote o! the people of each State." The Democratic Congress had that enact*d into law and a Democratic Senate defeated it. So you see every plank of that plat form save one, which is the sub-treas ury, is included in the Democratic plat form, and those which are not have been enacted into law by a Democratic Congress. The sub-treasury is simply a plan put forth as an evidence of a dis ease existing among the farmers, who deminded of these doctors of the na tion to do something tA cure that dis ease. Have not the people the right to pe tition Congress? I maintained this be fore the people and I claim that they have such a right under the Constitu tion of the United States. I am a true Democrat, and I stand on the Motional Democratic platform and I stand on the Ocala platform. I will not fool my people, let it cost me what it may. [Loud Applause.] Now, gentlemen of the convention, I say this because it has been flung in your faces as a taunt. We-in South Carolina are a noble people. We should not cherish animosity, and we do not. We invite every true and honest citi zen to come .with us and join in this bill of rights to preserve white suprem acy. White supremacy is worth more than party principle, [loud applause] and the man who opposes these de mands, who opposes the free and un limited coinage of silver, cannot stand -before his people and claim to be a Democrat. [Applause.] We are a united people. We stand here united, and if I thought, gentle men, that my nomination and my election meant- unhappiness to the people of South Carolina and threat ened the institutions of myState,which I love, (for every true patriot loves his State,) I would ask you to take back this nomination.and I would pras God to put out the spark which glows in my heart. [Applause.j If elected I shall be Governor of the entire people. I shall know no faction and shall see that the will of the majority is obeyed and the interests of the minority are protected by all the law and power which is placed itn my hands as your Chief Executive. (Ap plause.] And now I shall leave you. I con gratulate you on the work that you have never done to-day. I congratulate you upon the bold manner in which you remained stead fast to principle and the pledges you made to the people. I pro.nise you that the Dispen.ary law, which seems to be the bone of contention among some people, but which I believe to be the only solu tion of the whiskey problem, and the only rescue of the people from the tyranny of the whiskey ring. I shall enforce to the very letter. [Applause.] IIt thank you for your kind support, gentlemen.
