Maybe Old Ben Played the Foo] and Maybe he Didn't. Well the big circus at Chicago has passed off and a knight errant has been chosen to lead the silver host. It was a convention, the pro totype ot which is noe to be found in history. A platform demanding the most radical changes ever be fore sought by any party, was blowu forth in trumpet tones to the country. The scenes eracted, the deep passions stirred reminds one of the Cha ri ist agitators, or ballot reform fanatics in Eng'and, or the wild open air concourses of Irish home rulers, swayed and en frenzied ny the buming eloquence of O'connel. Whon we see the staid and decorous Dan.el manifest ing the ardor of youth a? he join ed the Bryan procesi?n, waving aloft the Hag of the old Dominion, need we be suprised a the enthu siasm of younger m?'u? And too the tact of Bryan in taking advan tage of the frame of mind of the convention after th* speeches of Tillman, Hill, Jones, and others, to make a speech of broadest pa triotism, was marvellous. It was more than tact it was positive genius-it was the highest form ol political wisdom. Many are surpised that old stagers like Boi s and Bland were left out. If the ma ter is rightfully considered, there should be no cause of sur prise. Neither of thes : men had au enthusiastic following outside of one or two states. They were nam ed as poeibilitief, because they were the best known of silver ad vocates and wore from the middle west. Silver had uo apostle as protection had in McKinley. Con sequently when " the man of the hour" appeared, the luke waru followings of Bland and Boies foll towards lum as a stone falls to the earth. Many are saying that "'old lien -" played 'he fool in ?ais speech. Maybe he did and maybe he did'nt. He certainly told nothing. but the truth. He saw he did'ut stand any showing for the nomination-he J" has seen it for some time. Some oliy way uytbat it' h$ h&d'iiiwti I the proper tact bte might have come in on the home stretch as Bryan did. Looking at the cae*, calmly, we sae that the situation was al together different as between Bryan and Tillman. The firs' was from an unobjec'ioual place, had no bit ter national enemies; and had strong agents at work. Tillman had none of these advantages. Who knows but that Tillman took the wisest course of getting the presidency? Bryan is not elect- 1 ed yet. True, ho bas a fine pros pect beform him ; but many a finer summer has had falling leaves and "November tears" for its harvest. But were Bryan even 1 elected, free silver is by no means an assured fact. Harrison was a "Force bill" man. but the force bill aeverpassed. Free silver may be an issue again. Stranger thiugs have hap pened. If it is, who can predict Til! nan's chance? McKinley was . as much a possibility in 1892 as Tillman was in 1896. Yet how overwhelmingly was he beaten in the former year and how triumph antly he carried the dav in the lattor. The Scotch have a proverb, "tho best laid plans of mice and niHi, gang aft aglee," A truer say ing never was uttered. If silver in any way miscarries in the next four years, B. R. Tillman will her ablest champion. The question is a sectional one. Any man who says the North and Eaet-are not arrayed against tho South and West, is speaking through his hat. Tillman has ta ken stands in state politics that the most intelligent men thought he would fail in but he always came out ahead. Who knows but that Tillman's speech is but the beginning of a drama of many parts? I do not wish to be *aken as op posing Bry an. I do hope "the grouudsweel" ma)' seat him in the president's chair, which his high cut.racter and statesmanship would brilliantly adorn. SEMPHRONICUS. A contrivance for quickly stop ping machinery-as in the case some person is being drawn be tween cogs or rollers-has been de vised by a French electrician. On touching one of the series of push buttons placed at convenient points the power is shut off and a powerful brake is apohed to the fly-wheels. A twenty horse-power engine, working at ninety revolu tions, was stopped in two-thirds of a second. _ THE BOY WAS TRICKY.-An em inent Ph ladelpbia divine was one dt-.y walking along one of the prin cipal resident streets of that city, and saw a small boy earnestly try ing to ring a door bell. "My boy, do you want to ring that bell?" asked the clergyman. "Yes sir," responded the urchin. The preacher stepped up and rung the bell for the lad. "Now run like the devil," said the boy, and be darted away leav ing the preacher to explain the ringing of the door bell. COL. HASKELL REPLIES. To THE EDITOR OF THE STATE : I have today seen your paper o the 23rd and 24th ; in the first tonn is a report of the campaign moot ing at O h era w, in wh.ch Mr. Jnhi Gary Evans is reported as saying "John Haskell says the Evans boyi howled Hampton down, but bf knew it was a lie." For severa years I have carefully avoided ex pressing in public my opinion o! the humiliating events that havi oocurred in our old State, culmi nating in ttl?' deep disgiace which put this vile little demagogue it: the governor's chair. He hus gon< out of his way to make a wanton attack on me and seeks to makf political capital out of it. I don't believe that the people of our State if they know him, would nupport him for any position and I believe that many who disagree with rafi in politics, will not hesitate to be lieve anything that 1 say and this induces me to take notice of wbai I would otherwise treat with the utter contempt that I feel for this peron. First, as to his charge, when he pretends to quote me, he knowe that be willfully lies. General Hampton went to Aiken, not as a candidate, but as an invited guest. A few of the audience treated him with great rudeness; no man, w:bo knewajything of the facts, doubt ed that Evans encouraged them in this conduct. He bas denied it then and doubtless if it serves bis purpose, will lie abjut it again. 1 never spoke >f the Evaus boys, foi I did not suppose that he bad any followers, even among those who insulted GOL. ral Hampton. Aud now a word to his career. I was a member of the lrgislature when he first came there and was counsel for th* Richmond and Danville road. I heard of him as a lawyer of rather low standing at the Aiken bar. From conversa tions 1 had with him I came to the conclusion that he wanted t > be employed by the railroad. Soon af ter my professional connection with clearing the tillea of coal and iron property in Viigiuia and North Carolina took up FO much of my time that I resigned as counsel for the Richmond and Danville railroad. I was consulted by the officers as to who to retain, and among others, advised I hem tc employ in some capacity Mr. John Gary Evans, as I warned them hf would give trouble if uot bought, Very soon he was put on ai ?.-. di rector of one ot the branch roads in Carolina. Within a few days (if his appointment, his bro iler from Edgefield and his uncle from Georgia, appealed for the first time in the general assembly as attor neys for the Dauville railroad The}' did the same at the ensuing sessions until Mr. John Gary Evans was dropped from the board. Now I challenge him to write tc the party who employed him and B6?ft ifh?-mihs?-y that.thie appoint ment of brother and uncle was not made to secure his influence against hvstile legislation. Don't let him just deny; of course he will bc ready to lie out of it. He knows who emp'oyed him; let him ask that man in writing. As to the bond matter, Mr. Rhind stated to the syndicate that of the large.commissions which he retained, the bulk had to go to parties whose influence was need ed in the South Oarolina genera: assembly. If he dares to do it, let him ask Rhind who he referred to. If he dares to do it, let him ask Dr. Bates to answer the categori cal question as to who got the money. If he dares to d) it, let him have the checks for payment produced and see who endorsed them. Any man who will act dis honestly will lie to protect him self. Don't let him stand on Till man's letter until Tillman has cleared his own skirts of partici pation in the job. DISPENSARY AND INSURANCE. He has never dared to deny that since he became governor the State and dispensary insurauce has been taken from reliable agents and given io bia brother immedi ately after his comiug to Colum bia as an insurance agent. It won't do for him to 6ay that this wal don? by his subordinates ; no sen sible man will be deceived by such astatement as that for one in stant. Noone will doubt why al] bonds of keepers of dispensaries were suddenly required to be exe cuted by surety companies, whe were represented by the same brother or why his blanks wen enclosed in official envelopes foi execution. I see it is said then was $4,000 in it for the family. Ii is impossible to legally convict anj party when they have the recordi in their own bauds and will no let them be -jeen but by partisai friends. But for this 1 feel con fident in the whiskey rebates, feei in tho phosphate business as wei as in the binds and insuranci matters we would find a very rot ten state of affair.3, but unlesi South Carolinians are much lowe than I imagine, they will neve select as their representative ii the senate of the United States i man, who to numerous charges o dishonesty and corruption, an swers: "I stand on the crimina plea of not guilty; you must prov* it." And now Mr. Editor, I h a vi done with this dirty little puppy with his pockets filled with bribe'i money. He has gone out of hil way to iusult mo and I denounci him as a dishonest d?magogue Wi;h this I am done with him un less he gets in my way, when '. will kick him out as I would anj other little cur that snaps at me.

Lines to the Memory of Miss Tillman by a Loving; School Friend. Tlie Columbia State bas recked a letter requesting the publication of the tribute below irom a Virginia girl who was a schoolmate of the subject of the verses. In this letter the young girl says "she was my schoolmate, and I want in some way to do h.?nor to her. I know that Columbia was a happy home to her, and I wish that there my lines should be printed." 'Tis true, her brief, sweet life is done So swiftly caine the summons to ou dear one. E'en on lightning's pinion, a call above To lieav'n, the hallowed heaven of God's love.
