The Senator's ad dress was eonsei vative. lie pun tribute tc> the memory of Senatoi Karle, and gave an aeeoiint of Itiown political stewardship. mi MeLaurin was warinlv received and sat down with th 'pleasing as surance of having made a ?r<?<?? impression. Then the storm brok<. Kx I* S Senator .John L m Irhy \va introduced, and for three-?juarter of an hour was enacted, asexcitim scones as perhaps have ever heei witnessed at a campaign mcetin in this, or any other State. Thing looked serious time and again At one time Irhy and xcLauri were only prevented from clinch ing hy the interferei ce of thos on the stage. Irhy in his speech applied th severest language 10 MeLaurin an<l he came to the front. When Irhy rose, the cheers f<? MeLaurin wcr deafening. II mndo an opening sally, Mcl.aurii tnndo an apt aside, and the cheer ing was such that Irhy, despit repeated elTorts, could not go on Then when chairman Purdy ?juiet ed the cro-vd, he started out agai by charging the crowd with trvin to howl him down. lie said h knew that it was all fixed up i this hot-bed of Ilnskellism an* conservatism. l'rettv soon h aid lie did not care how many o these city henchmen tried to pre \enthim from speaking. chairman I'urdy advanced the ind said (hat it was J In * r d -ire t ive Irhy a respectful heaiine nd he asked that lie would apcat that insulting Ian jua c f he could n??t he respectful, the .id not want to hear him. Th utomittoc was not responsib! ' ?r the outbursts of f. cling. 1 rh replied that they hud insulted hit I lirat. Irhy went on then and eharr. terized MeLaurin as a ring treu.< ed, striped and specked [>oliticiar He charged him with dishonest and with Iwing guilty of treoso i:ud treachery. lie said that t! foulest conspiracy thai ever exis ed in this State was now in fori and MeLnurin was the benefieinn Finally, Mcl.anrin, who ha turned pale, jumped up and face him, Haying: 'Irhy, let's have an understaiu ing right here. We have know each other some time. Von ean accuse mo of dishonesty. Yo can't insult me in that way.' The two men faced each othei Irhy relented what they had sa'u and added; 'I say further that i | you hit 1110, you'll be hit Imok.'j ! At tliis junctor?, Kditor Appcl i rushed up to Irhy mid told him he wopld have a reply, charlcs I'.lliUTiUcl rushed ill Ul'.d said to ! Irhy: 'No one hut a coward would talk that way.' Irhy replied that no one hut a coward would insult a guest. Mr n I'urdy and others got the men I quieted, the house being in an 'uproar. When Irhy finished, mcLaurin denounced the charge that - I O ho whs in a combine as absolutely false. Irhy retorted that he would prove it. No other candidates appeared, though Irhy said that other pled' ges would he filed, and the fast and furious meeting ended, having . lasted only one hour and twenty minutes. Irhy said that he is in the fight to succeed Meuiurin. and that he will make an active campaign. . and stay in the race until the end. Ciovernor Kvnns has decided not i to contest for the place.

The opinion expressed by c> Clovernor Kvans that -Irby secuis to have more friends than we credited him with" appears to be generally entertained and now some of the politicians are trimming their sails. Here is what South Carolina's congressman in Washington have to say about it: Mr Latimer said: 'I am not committed, and I lold McLaurin so yesterday. 1 have no conceal mcnts in the matter. If McLau rin's election means a combination to defeat Tillman's re-election, 1 am against him.
