It is announced that the purpose of the meeting is to protest against the action of Mark Hanna in appointing John G.

It does not seem that Roosevelt is much worried over any possible action the Republi- i can organization may take. j Shot by a Robber. j Greenville, Oct. 15.?T.

It. was his t maiden effort, and that the negro's I neck whs saved is probably due h to the very sk'llful and able de- 11 fence Mr. Todd made m bis be- u half.

We publish elsewhere today an xeeptinnallv strong editorial from he Charleston Kyenim; Post in irhkh the real reason why Tillman nd The Col it rain a State oppose AcLanrin is vigorously exposed. ^ "he Post shows as we have en- . I " leavured to do, that the frantic j ffort, of the Tillmanites to exclude ' ^ doLaurin from the democratic, irimary is directly due to a whole o?ie fear lest his intelligent, and id vanned views on the National is- ( ,nes of the day take root in the nihlio mind and eventually build ip a progressive sentiment which annot fail to sweep Tillman and lie aotequated heresies into tl.e political waste basket. The manifesto of the Executive Committee "with which Tillman lad something to do" and for which The State stood sponsor was concocted to get rid of MeIjiurin at one full swoop. Hut ' h? good sense ami liberty loving sentiment of the people was out aged hy the boldness and injnsice of thie revolutionary scheme ind they plainly indicated their ntention of having something to iftv in the selection of ft United ( States Senator to represent them The next scheme to get rid of dcLatirin appears on its face to L I 4 ~I j I 'Pi Ci-i. invw uctjii omened uy i ue oiiue, dthough doubtless also inspired \y Tillnmn. This, as we explain, id a dav or two ago, was nothing ( ess than a proposition to pre. scribe an extraordinary oath for dcLaurin as a condition precedent o his becoming a candidate before he primary ? in oath which no nan of self-respect could take and vhich neither Hampton, Hemphill, Henderson, nor Johnstone would itultify themselves by taking.? ( he same sense of justice which nimated the people to repudiate dot number one, will also explode >lot number two. The people of South Carolina are not going to ^ leprive themselves of their inhe ent right to hear hoth sides of the . jroat public questions of the hour. . They will not delegate to Mr. 1 Tillman and The State the excluive privilege of not only naming ^ he candidates thev shall vote for, nil of constructing the platform . ipon which they shall stand. The ^ imposition is so monstrous ? so ubversivo of the cardinal princiI lies of freo speech that it must ' all of its own weight. The disingenuousness of each , ? . . I nd every one of these conspiracies ^ o prevent McLaurin from going efore the people of this State as democratic candidate is palpable ' rom the fact that concurrently ' irith the scheme to exclude him rem the primary invariably comes hj boastful assertion that if Mejuurin is allowed to make the race o will only receive the support of little handful of "debauched" nd "bribed", manufacturers, merchants and bankers?an element in the community really not yorth considering. Of course to tudents of the situation who mix rilh the people and note from day o day the sure and steady spread if the progressive idea,such bursts if braggadocio are simply emus, ng. They are intended to keep ip the courage of the voters who lave not yet been emancipated rom the yoke of Tillmanism, and 1 vho it is hoped by Tillman and tho 1 'ongaree orpin may ho kept in lolitical bondage by playing upon ' heir political prejudices and fears. j I'his is the class that will never' j >e given a chance to decide upon { he merits of the McL.aurin cause ! f Tillman's henchmen can prevent t t. If McLaurin can muster only i beggarly support whence comes ;ho motive for all these revolu:ionary efforts to keep him out of :he campaign ?
