The Senatorial Campaign.
The Big Meeting in Lar. caster
Saturday, the Glorious
Fourth?Fine Speeches
Heard by an Appreciative
Audience-?The Eagle's
Tail Pulled by More than
One Candidate--"What the
Speakers Had to Say.
Lancaster's Senatorial campaign
meeting held i ere Satur- j
day?the ''Glorious Fourth'"?
was an unqualified success in j
every particular. The attendance
was large, crowd orderly
aud the speeches of the caudi
dates remarkably good?belter
than those made at other points
?due, most hkely, to the inspi
ration of the day and the enthusiasm
of the audience. The
meeting was held in the court
house, which was crowded, at
least 400 persons being present.
County Chairman \V. P. Caskey
presided with his usual dignitv
and introduced the speakers,
each of whom was limited to 25
minutes. At the chairman's request,
the Rev. O. W. Carini
chael, pastor of the A. R. P.
church, opened the meeting with
a particularly appropriate prayer
i j * I
me lirsi speaker mirouuceu was
MR. JOHN* P. OfoACE, OF CHARLESTON,
candidate for U. 6. Senate, who
begau by saying 132 years ago
today our nation was born?132
years ago today there rang forth
that immortal Declaration which
at once established beiore the
world that the people of America
at least were tree. Already the
thuudering cry of Henry had
been heard and the battle ot
Bunker Hill had been lought.
The people were then in the
gristle state, the muscle ot tnauhood
developing later. It is not
unfitting that we on this day, the
Sabbath ot the Nation, should
depart from the usual order, go
back and look at the past, lelici- j
tate each other aud read the i
words ot the man who made the
Nation?not the Declaration ot
Independence, tor we all know
it, aud it was yet to be crowned
by the vietorie- ot Washington?
but the words of the Sage of
Monticello, not the lather ot his:
country, but the prupl.et ot his
country, whose words contain
the essence ot Democracy. The
speaker then read jellerson's
first inaugural address, which lie
declared embodies all the principles
ot democracy. Continuing j
his remarks he said he didn't;
believe that men should divide
along geographical lines, but on
moral and philosophical lines

ferson, characterizing him as the
founder of democracy. lie drew
a distinction between the Ilatnil ;
Ionian and Jeffersonian ideas of
government, the termer being
now represented by the lie pub-,
lican party?the party ot special
privileges, and the latter by the
Democratic party?the party of!
equal rights to all He pointed !
out how Jefferson arrayed himself
with the masses. In choosing
a representative, lie -aid, tlie i
people should apply the test as
to whether he is ot the Ilatnil-1

Ionian WA JX. :
Choose h man who feeis every I
wound inflicted on you doubly!
as though it were on himself?a
man who teels the lash on his'
back. The speaker said he:
didn't have time to go into all |
the issues dividing the Demo-;
cratic and Republican parties,
but took it for granted that his
hearers kmew the difference between
th^iii. k4You wouldn't
think of asking me/' he said, *'if
1 were a Democrat alter I had
taken the pledge." Referring;
to ship subsidy, tie said it wa<
the quintessence of protection
and can't be reconciled with
democracy. lie said he asked
- THE
one of the caudida'es at Camden
Friday 'f he ever believed in
ship subsidy, aud the candidate
replied that he didn't rememoer,
A man ought to be able to re
member whether he has always
been a democrat or not. He
asked the question again, and

the question direct to-Mr. Rhett.
who promptly told Mr. Grace to
go ahead aud complete his own
statement, adding that what he
had to So)* would be said when
it came his time to speak. The
speaker then asked Mr. Rhett
something about his not voting
m 1896. whereupon the latter
fired a question or two at his
interrogator, asking him if lie
didn't believe in lree silver and
free trade. Mr. Grace replied
yes, in the principles of both.
His time being up, he was grant,
ed five minutes more to explain
his position, which he did by re
counting the well known conditions
during the panic of 1896
the dearth of primary mouty,
the suffering of tiie debtor class
the demand for an increase ol
the currency, etc. He said the
new discovery of gold fields had
furnished the couutrv with the
increased circulation needed
COL. GEORGE JOHNSTONE OF NEWBERRY,
was the second candidate for the
Seuate to speak. He said it afforded
him pleasure to appeal
once again before a Lancaster
audieuce as a caudidate lor the
U. S. Senate. He thought it
exceedingly appropriate that the
meeting should be opened with
prayer. He then paid a beautiful
tribute to Mr. Carmichael's
prayer. He said it most accurately
outlined the duties and
responsibilities of the voters and
also the qualifications ot their
representatives. He wished that
the words could be embodied in
the mind of ever\ citizen of the
laud. The foundation ot the Republic
rested upon the intelligence
and virtue of its citizens,
lie said he would try, under divine
guidauce, to measure up to
the requirements ot citizenship
as laid down by that man of
God. The eloquent speaker de
clared that he didn't come here
to feed ou empty issues and
chad an intellectual people such
as lie was addressing He then
referred to some of the great
men Lancaster has produced?
the immortal Simuis, Crawford
and others. He also threw a
bouquet at the chairman, saying
that he might well be taken for
a portrait of Cleveland, the great
Democrat whose death the country
now mourns. He said he
came here to talK about the great
product ol this country?cotton

life. The South is coutrnntei!

During last panic when you ap

thus relieve the situation. You
couldn't borrow money because
the currency system isn't sufficiently
elastic. Not a centralized,
but a decentralized system
is what is needed. No system
of finance is perfect, but one
should be elastic enough to relieve
local necessities. The
speaker criticised the daily pap!
ers for not giving fuller reports
of the campaign meetings.
COL. W. W. LUMPKIN, OF COLUMBIA,
was next introduced as a candii
date lor the Senate. Though
hoarse with cold, he made an
eloquent speech. He began by
saying : "My wife's husband is
not very pretty. I have 7 ot the
i best children you ever saw
1 in your lite. But they are
so atraid they'll do wrong
they won't do 'nothing',
so I have to work tor the whole

I went on to say that lie was only

that he has spent half ol his life,
time iu this State and has held
various positions of honor here?

portrayed his coming to
i this State as a Confederate soldier,
