Ml uay. uarnogiomans rcemed somewhat enthusiastic and really m cc enjoyed the speeches. About 600 voters and a few?but very 8C ehoioe specimens of vote influencers were out to see and hear what 11 w was going on. Candidates seem to be gelling e( more fervent in spirit as the days ? go by. Today their fevor wus a a* troug reminder of the zeal with which a home missionary labors ni when he goes forth to seek and to ir save. The candidates, as request- hi ed, were weighed in the balance tl and all found ? wanting votes. ni It was a lleyward crowd, ap- ai plaud, cheers, hurrahs and flowers d' all testifying to this fact. At the A close of his speech Capt. Heyward ai was asked if he "had been a Hask- h; ellito-" His immediate reply, b; 4I have never done anything but at support the regular nominees of cl the Democratic party and shall always do this," brought the most << alpervading cheers and applause of the day. Cancler had the J su crowd completely and lively col- a? loquies between Messrs. Wilborn and Evans and W'lborn and Mob tjj ley seemed to give zest to the en- j joyment of the crowd.
