MAYFIELD WITHDRAWS From the Race, Having Failed to PrQve McLaurin a Populist Evans Severely Arraigns Mc Laurin, Who, After Finishing His Speech, Faints-Irby Also Sick. Columbia Register. Yorkville, Aug. 12.-There have been meetings during this cam paign that have been full of per sonalities, others that have been verging on the sensational, but to day's meeting was dramatic. Gov ernor Evans made some reference to it but it was even more intense ly dramatic than one might sup pose from the mere statement of ? that fact. At times, although the audience showed its partiality, there was an abflute qu ,et and deathlike still ness in th 3 courthouse with its 600 or 700 people. First of all, in a manly and straightforward way, Mr. Mayfield admitted the wrong that he had done Mr. McLaurin by charging him with trying tc organ ize the populist party in this State, and then to redeem his pledge made at Chester yesterday, for mally withdrew from the race. It was unexpected. The style, the provocation and the consumma tion are all so unusual in South Carolina politics that it made it all the more startling, and when Mr. Mayfield concluded he was cheered to the echo for the posi tion he had taken. Then came Governor Evans, who threw unusual fire, and, as Mr. McLaurin said, "unwarranted per sonal feeling," into his discussion. Mr. Evans spoke longer than usual and so enthused was he and determined that he rose on his tip toes to emphasize what he regard ed as the lack of loyalty on the part of McLaurin to bia friends aud his false position. The exonerating statement of Mr. Mayfield a?d the seveie ar- ; raignment of Governor Evans had spurred Mr. McLaurin up to a de- j lided pitch. He had said nothing :rom his seat, and when he arose | t was plain to see that he was go- I ng to make onei of the speeches of ll lis life, which he did. He spoke y pith all the ardor and feeling that h ie had, and at one time during the 1 eadiug of a letter from Congress- ? nan Bailey, justifying his vote on ? he wool schedule, he gasped for 8 ireath and came very near reeling L ver, but he manned himself and v rent on with even more than his lc ronted vigor, and it was but al' ninute after he had finished hi&r I c peech that he fell to the floor like j. log, completely exhausted. Ititi .'as the work of conflicting emo- j d ion, exertion and the heat, and it * Dok nitro-glvcerine tablets to en I n iven the sluggish heart. It was, Q owever, nothing serious, and soon h fter McLaurin waa taken to his J w otel, where he recuperated. n Then Col. Irby, one of the cen-1" .al figures in the play of the day, 0] as absent. A severe attack oil ?olera morbus had incapacitated M im from attendance, and he, too, * iring the afternoon was suffi-1 ! ently recuperated to be out. THE INCIDENT OP THE DAY. M But the incident of the day waB T ie withdrawal of Candidate May- ? ?ld. Mr. Mayfield had made his L istomary speech, attacking the hi riff views of Mr. McLaurin and y< isisting that he was not now nor T< iver had been in a combination, hen he went on to say that yes- fr rday and on previous occasions J tl i had charged McLaurin with j qi iving written the populist plat- a* rm and attempting to organize Q( at party in South Carolina. At Wl >artauhurg he denied the charge, BO it after getting what he regarded wi further evidence, as well as that a? sterday of Dr. Strait, he would L thdraw from the race and if he Rj oved them McLaurin himself ar ould withdraw. He said he rn: ide the charges in good faith P10 I WC d that he never misrepresented y one. He was now satisfied Wfl >m what he had heard, and from wi ?.elusive proof shown him by thi ;Laurin, that he did dictate the {*a I CR? pul i st platform and that Mc- ILJ urin did succeed in striking out f0I it portion relating to orgauiza- to n in this State, and to Mr. Mc- Uni urin more than any one eke wa s due the credit that there was populist fight in South Caro- ? a. He believed that the state- did nt made by Pr. Strait was ocr- roa t as he understood it, but fur r believed that M McLaurin -\ 5 telling the truth. He now the r that Mr. McLaurin, rather |8ai? n violate personal affairs, had lined to make any statement, [ with the conclusive proof that rea, now had.he was willing to say to ? t he had misrepresented Mc- reP irin, and to add that he had e' ' ked to prevent the destruction L he democratic party in this p]aj ;e. He thpii said that in view the can rea avo of what he had stated at Chester and personal reasons be would announce his withdrawal as a candidate for the United StatoE senate. This, he said, was nol in the interest of Mr. McLanrin Mr. Evans or Col. Irby, but because he thought it was right and because he meant what he said. He said he had not mentioned his intention of withdrawing except con. fidentially, and did not expectant mention of it, as it was unwarrant ed. He Tcould not wave his hanc for cr against any candidate, foi he differed with all of them OL some matters at issue, ana the) were all men of ability, and then with a beautiful peroration as t( the brighter day that was aheac for South Carolina, and thanking his audience and the people foi the attention shown him, he withdrew from the field, with much applause. Mr. McLaurin, aB Mr. Mayfield was walking back to his seat, met him, clasped his hand thanked him for whe t he had said. JOHN GARY EVANS. Then, after the band had played its installment. Govornor Evune took the floor and said that the audience had just witnessed the dramatic retirement of his geiod friend Mayfield, but that he would pick his fliot and try it again. A public office was, he said, a trust, and if Mayfield had any conclusive proof that cleared McLaurin cf tte charge of populism it belonged to the public. The people were the masters and entitled to the information. He said it made in difference to him what Mayfield thought, for Strait was an honora ble man, and so were Latimor and Talbert honorable men, and they would all repeat the charges made yesterday, and, moreover, "that mau" approachnd him and for more than au hour begged him to join the populist party with him. About this time there was considerable applause for Mr. Mc Laurin, also for Evans, and a few hisses. Evans quickly took it up, said that nobody could scare him and ?hat ho could talk all the better against such people. He went on to 6ay that Mayfield had no right to put Strait in a false light unless he produced the proof. Mayfield said he believed what Strait had said. Then Evans jumped at him ami wanted to know how he could be lieve McLaurin and also Strait. Mayfield said that tho whole point was that McLaurin had corked against and succeeded in preventing ti populist organiza tion for South Carolina. Evans said that McLaurin :hrew Bowden out into tho stream o seo how he could swim in the populist sea. and when Bowden vas swallowed up McLaurin let jo of his populist heresies, Gov. Svans then went on to say that ie ran against the bosses for governor and that the Colleton )lan was advocated by Koester md others who opposed him. At the outset said that Tiliman ras made to send down a letter in irhich he repudiated the March onvention, and that McLaurin rent all the way to Spartanburg 0 enter the race, and after he ame to Spartanburg and saw how he wind was blowing, he returned 3 Washington and wrote that enuueiatory letter against "me nd Tillman." While he knifed me never knifed him or any other ian in the back, and if I had sold ly vote against Wallace, I could ave been attorney general, for it as offered to me first, but I ever go back on my friends. He )peated|that he went on McLa rin's official bond and was still 3 it. Then he went on to speak of [cLaurin's voting for Duncan ad Earle, and said that not only ad McLaurin told him that he as going to vote for him, but lat Ellerbe had assured him that McLaurin was for Evans, and, loreover, he had consulted with im as one of his political friends, t Edgefield, when twitted, Mc aurin said that he had tried to alp Evans out of a hole, and jsterday he had said that he had )ted against him, which was all complete surpiise to him. After speaking of political iendship Gov. Evans went to ie tariff and free raw material ?estion, which he vigorously gued, and when talking about e wool schedule, he said that od would have to keep the peep) irm with th*1 eternal sun if that n were returned to the senate lich excited much laughter and iplause. He said that Tillman's de would not cover the republican dy of McLaurin. He read from .yan's free raw material speech d said that he would hate ightily to get out of the race, for had McLaurin beaten, but he luld make the same proposition free raw material-tha?, if it s not good democracy, he would thdraw from the race. He said it the only thing that McLaurin d ever done was to put more res on the people's back. After ( hour had expired, he asked . a little more time in which expose McLaurin'8 tariff views lat the close of his speech there' s applause. He was told to go by the crowd, but was quite ?austed. V. letter announcing the can lacy of G. Walt. Whitman was d. SENATOR M'LAURIN. Vhen Mr. McLaurin got up re was decied applause. He 1 that of all the record-breaking ipaigns, his waB the most ?arkablo ; that he had tried to id personalities, but for sorn? son he seemed to be singled out >e branded as a populist and a ublican. As a matter of fact, rv reform congressman in 1892 elected on the Ocala platform, ch was adopted as the state form, and that was in substance populist platform, an 1 why he st a: ?i Pi it tt th ed vc th sb m ed eli pl re rii if bli do sb do ab foi tio an sh onie brand* . ki.ov/ six lo. .. __j influence to secure free silver, and if he was more prominent in this work, it was not his fault. From the first moment he saw that the only hope was in a combination of the free silver forces, and he work ed to that end. And to his record, it needed no vindication, and he had been far enough in this campaign to seo that he would be elected by a big majority. (Much applause.) He said he was sick and tired of having to make explana tions, for everybody knew that he was not a protectionist, that he was not a republican, that he had been elected four times to congress, that he had been elected attorney general, and there was no use to drag him down ta get his eaJary. The people were not going to elect somebody else on charges against him. He then went on to explain hia tariff views andonis position against free raw material as heretofore, and on reading a letter from Congresman Bailey, in which it was stated that they both voted for a reduction on wool. Mr. Mc Laurin had to pause for a minute or two to gain strength with which to go on. Mr. McLaurin said that Evans may sneer about his licking the feet of the Yankee nation and voting for Texas wool but South Carolina had to remem ber that this was not the time to build walls around this state, but that, mon with big, broad ideas had to come to the front. He said he saw no reason to lug in this populist business. Dr. Strait jumped up and said: "Do you deny it?" Some of the crowd cried to him to sit down that it was none of his business Dr. Strait said that he was afraid of nobody, and Mr. McLaurin invited him to 6ay whatever he wanted to, and wont on to say that he had no recollection whatever of having told Strait with what he was credited with saying. Then Mr. McLaurin asked Strait lo repeat exactly what he had said at Chester, which Dr Strait did, which was that Mc Laurin had told Strait and Talbert that the time was ripe to join the populist parly, and so on. Mr. McLaurin said that he had never thought of organizing a populist parly, and again related how he, Sibley, Tillman, Bryan and others had worked to get the free silver populists, republicans and democrats to unite forces Evans and others seemed to forget that last year the}' were crying 16 to 1 or bust, and he wondered if Ulis was true democracy accord ing to their present notions. Dr. Strait wanted to know whether McLaurin charged him with saying anything about these matters, and McLaurin said he never heard Strait say anything about anything. McLaurin went on to say that it seemed bad ei: jugh for him to havo three opponents constantly jump ing ou him, and now for a congress man to follow him around in his district was most uncharitable. He would promise that when the party arrived in his district they would he treated with absolute cordiality. Mr. McLaurin said that he supposed the conversation referred to was about the time of the Willard Hall conference. Dr. Strait said that it was not, Dr. Strait said that he was not at that conference. McLarmn-But I was. (Ap plause.) McLaurin went on to say that at the Willard Hall ;onference Senator Stewart jumped m him, and to there told him that ;here waa absolutely no place in South Carolina for a populist party md that he would have none, and hat the democracy answersd[?very rarpose for him. What he thought he people wanted was a live, ictive, intelligent and energetic opresentative, and they would put he hand of affliction on a lonentity who acted as a stumbling ilock. (Much applause.)

After all the teachings of our atesmen, both dead and .living, fier all the years of waiting and iffering from the iniquitous re jblican doctrine of protection, is not the \ery irony of fate that 1?re should now be a member of e United States Senate accredit 1 to South Carolina teaching and ?ting for protection? It is none e lees strange that this Senator ould hold his seat by appoint ent by a governor recently elect i by the people of this State and :cted from that class of our peo e upon whom this burden has Ste?I most heavily. It is useless for Senator McLau l to talk about his democracy ter espousing the most abomina 3 and haled of all republican ctrines. The late war effectually ched the good old democratic ctrine of Stale's rights, and out all there'a left in the plat en, besides the monetary ques n, is the power to tax the people, d an economical administration. di til vi Si Ai vi Pi bj J ne tit se; un Bs an i th?

'..- s; nay, we believe that had gold been offered him he would have spurn ed it ; but flattery, most cunningly disguised, did what perhaps gold could not do. vin our imagination, j we saw the paid agent of greed and ' monopoly-"Czar" Reed, with sa 1 tauic ears and forked tail, personi fying his hellish majesty-take our junior Senator upon a high mountain, and with his face turn ed toward the glittering dome of our beloved national capitol, say to him: "Fall down and worship at the shrine of protection, and riches and honor shall be yours." At first his hot Southern blood re belled, "and we saw resentment o'erspread his handsome face; but in a moment of woaknesB the tempter whiepered: "Why con tinue the useless struggle so long and uselessly carried on by your predecessors? See them now in their poverty, with no one to do them honor, then see what this doctrine has done for Hanna, Mc Kinley and me ! Come and par take with us." He fell, and great was the fall ; and as they came down from the mountains the re publican hosts came out vith bau ner? to meet them, singing. "Great is Czar Reed, for he has broken the solid South!" Thousands of Confederate wid ows and orphans, often wanting the necessaries of life, have been) forced by this undemocratic doc trine to contribute-of their hard earned dollars, while millions of wealth have been accumulated in the protected North - building palaces on land and sea and buy iug husbands from the effete no bility of Europe for their pamper ed daughters. It is insult to the manhood and intelligence of southerner to ask him to vote to continue for a day a system of rob bery so long forced upon the peo pie. That McLaurin should have failed to see through the renubli can flattery and blandishments is almost unpardonable. The Western republicans have received a rude awakening and are fast breaking away from the pro tection delusion which has held them as slaves to the East; the republican majority in the Senate is melting away, and they are look ing South for members to fill up the vacancies and for converts to their doctrine of piotection, Ever -?ince the war the republicans have tried every conceivable means to jontrol the votes of the South, but failing to do so, they have sneaked into our lines and hood-winked a ?rusted sentinel : but if the voters )f South Carolina are fooled by juch chaff, they will be acting with ts much wisdom and humanity as he Africans who sell their off ering ior glass beads or red calico. " We had hoped that the coming senatorial election would bo a mere ?hoice of men, but McLaurin's ?hange of front has carried it far neyond such narrow confines; it s fraught with greater danger than my election since 76. Factional ines should be forgotten in one upreme effort to blot out, once or all time, this abominable re lublican heresy. Once allow our ongressmen and senators to dicker nd trade with the agents of mon poly for place and honor, and all ope of the mapses escaping the oirdens of taxation and oppres ion will be gone. May the Great Ruler who holds ie destinies of uations in the hol )w of his hands deliver us from ach a calamity. W. C. SMITH. Williston, S. C.
