Maj. Brawley and Br. Stokes at ; Chapin. We attended tlie excellent cue furn:~1?3 AT*. P AF Frick in tlie isuru uj Aixt - * . ? _ thriving town of Chapm on Saturday, and found here citizens cheerful, happy and prosperous. The discussion on the National issues of the day between Maj. Brawley and Dr. Stokes drew an attendance of between two and three hundred persons, many of whom were ladies. The speakers were accorded a respectful hearing, as they always should be. They scathed each other at times, but in the best of humor. Maj. Brawley made some very good points and Dr. Stokes "got mere occasionally with both feet, and everything passed off pleasantly. From what we could ascertain Dr. Stokes had about two-thirds of the voters, though Mr. Brawley was loundly applauded at times. We give below a much fuller report of the speeches, taken from the State, than our notes would have given: Major Brawley expressed gratification that his first appearance in this campaign was in the county of Lexington which deserves to be remembered as the first county in South Carolina that was redeemed from wila Tf 1,o^ -f-rnin 1S79 nn. lvauioai x uxu> ai uiiu ** ? %. * til the preseDt day been one of the staunchest Democratic counties in this State. There were perils threatening the Democratic party today, from foes without artd enemies within; there were influences at work which, unless checked, threatened to put the people of this State out of accord with the National Democratic party, upon the success of which in this election depend all of our hopes for the future. He referred to the action of the ?i:? Ittl'tf CUIi VC/Xitiuu ?IIICU ucuuuu^cu Cleveland, and to the threats, open and covert, that the nomination of Cleveland would lead to the inaugurating of a third party movement in this State. He commented with great detail upon the action of Dr. Stokes in connection therewith, from the first call of a secret caucus made by him on the night before the convention met; referring to Dr. Stokes' utterances while'on his way to the Chicaga convention, the editorial in the Cotton t?i l ^ ti. /-ll 3 v. naui immediately aner v/icvtriuiiu. o nomination, which, while disavowed ^ by Dr. Stokes upon his return as not expressing his personal opiniou, yet at the same time was in accord with the previous policy of the paper and the out givings of Dr. Stokes himself, fairly led to the conclusion that Dr. Stokes was in sympathy with it. This view was confirmed by the fact that there was no censure or condemnation of the ''associate editor,'' who was the putative author of this editorial; that the whole course of his paper was such as to create dissatisfaction with the Democratic j party. In referring to the silver bill he stated that he was in full accord with the platform of the National Democratic party on that subject. He then read and commented upon that section of the platform which treated of the silver question, and showed that the Democratic party in its convention had rejected free coinage of silver which Patterson of Colorado had proposed as a substitute for this plank, and although it was tine that a majority of the Democrats in Congress had voted for a free coinage measure, he preferred to take as the chart for the government of his poli- | fical action, the deliberate iud^ment i """ 7 * u and declaration of principles made by a convention assembled for the purpose, among other things, of preparing a platform of principles for the Democratic party, rather, than the action of members of Congress who were too often influenced in v their votes by the desire to please their constituents. He, too, had been warned that he would endanger his seat by voting against what was supposed to be the popular wish, but lie preferred to lose his seat rather than vote against the judgment of his conscience. He then entered into an explanation of the silver question as he understood it and commented at length upon that part of the platform which recommended the removal of the ten per cent, tax upon the issue of State banks. Upon this subject of a return to the old system of currency issued by the State banks he said he had grave doubts. The whole question of the best plan of providing a currency which would take the place of the I national banks, which had ceased to ! be an efficient instrument for provid- j ing currency, was a question of the 1 gravest moment, the most important ! now befor the American people, and was involved in great difficulty. He threw out certain ideas on that j subject which he said were crude \ . . o I una unsatisfactory to liis own mind j ! and if he had not reached a conclusion it was not because he was not fully conscious of its importance or desirous of doing whatsoever was in his power to relieve the people, but because the subject was inherently difficult and perplexing. He was opposed to any crude schemes and experiments upon a question which involved so many perils to the country. He was more auxious to do what was wise and right and likely to be beneficial to the people rather than to appear to be their friend and hold out to them hopes of benefits which he could not secure for them. In undertaking that office he had promised faithful service, and he had performed that promise to the best of his ability. If he could make them all rich by legislation he would be glad to do it, and he felt that if Dr. Stokes could do that for them which he himself could not do he ...^.,1,1 crl VZi TTO T7 fn ll 1 m Y\UU1U. UC au f W ??W He bad now no further object in public life than to do some little service to the State during the years that were left to him. When he was a beardless boy he had taken up arms in her defence, and risked his life in her service, and so far as he knew himself he was inspired by as good motives to serve the State as he was then. By the favor of Providence and by his own industry he was in a posi tion to be somewhat independent, in a modest way, of the emoluments of public office, and its uonors were only dear to him as they were worthily obtained. The mere office itself had but little attraction, and if the people thought that they could be better served by some ono else he was ready to take his dismissal. PR. STOKES was then introduced to reply to Maj. Brawley. He said that the day was passed when their votes could be influenced by whisky or money or any consideration save reason. I am here, said he, in the exercise of my right as a candidate to appeal to your reason. It is proper for me to state that I should not have been a candidate had the distinguished gentleman, who now occupies a seat in Congress by your votes, represented the party and the people who sent him there. In proving what I say I shall refer to his record in the kindest spirit recogoizing his right to think and act as he has, but at the same time holdn4 liio nnWi/i oofc avn I IJJJ? ilicill UiO U k/JliV WA. WO i?AV property. I hold that he has not been true to the Democratic platform of South Carolina, upon which he was elected, and which was a compact between] him and his people. The South Carolina Democratic platform, upon which he was elected, contained an unequivocal free coinage plank. Yet Mr. Brawley voted and spoke against free coinage after he got to Washington. While his election was before ihe people he said not a word about ins opposition to iree coinage, but as soon as he got his commission and had left the people behind him, he used his utmost endeavors against that part of the contract between him and his people. Not only was he in opposition to his own people, but he was in opposition to the National Democratic platform of force when he was elected, and in open opposition to the Democratic platforms of twentyeight States. He says it was a matter of conscience, but his apology was a poor one. I hold that he should have made known his position to the people before the contract was closed, and if he found he could not carry out the contract after closure, then, by every token of honor and honesty, he should have released the other party to the contract?he should have placed his resignation in the hands of the Governor. But he repudiated his part of the contract, leaving the people to carry out theirs. Again, he did not represent the * ' i \ _ T? Xt. masses 01 tne peopie. m uiis country there are two great forces. On one side a few people, comparatively, who, by legislation, have gotten control of the money of the country. Six corporations and ten individuals control $1,000,000,000 of the $1,380,000,000 in circulation. On the other side are the great masses who are at the mercy of the corporations and the money trust. Iu every case where 3Ir. Brawley has been tneu nis vote ana voice nave been recorded in favor of the few and against the people. In the effort of the people after 76 to rid themselves of the fraudulent millions laid upon them by Radicals, Mr. Brawley represented the bondholders who were trying to saddle upon the people this fraudulent debt. When the people, oppressed by the railroads, tried to regulate them by a railroad commission. Mr. Brawley, as a railroad attorney, strenously fought nf flip enmorfttinns. ill L11U illUiV.'W V It was liis right to (lo so. There is nothing necessarily disreputable in being the paid attorney of a corporation, but it is a pertinent question for the people to ask whether they will entrust such an attorney with their legislative interests. This is a position which no man should vojun? tarily assume, and to which 110 peoph should subject themselves. Mr. Brawley is outraged at tin idea of paying the public debt witt dollars that have in them only 7( cents worth of silver, notwithstanding the reason why silver is worth but 7( cents is the passage of the very aci we complain of?but he has no wore of sympathy for the industrial classes when by the act of 1873 half tin money that could pay the public debt was wiped out, thus virtually doubling the debt. Under the quickening currents o" an increasing volume of currency enterprise and prosperity would take the place of stagnation and ruin Money would be seeking investmeni instead of enterprise and energ} seeking in vain for money. Then would be competition among lend ers and interest would be lowered \fAT?ATr r+ xrAnld fin/' .JlUilVJ .HUAiU^ ill 1 VOtUiWiib u VUAV4 i*A*v our fertile lands, our magnifieeni water powers; factories would hum and labor would find employment. If silver comes here from othei lands it will stay here for investment Mr. Brawley says that for everj silver dollar that comes here undci free coinage we must give a gold dollar or cotton. This is the mosi irrational proposition imaginable. Everybody knows that under free coinage the silver would be shipped here, coined into dollars, and the dollars sent back to the shipper oi the bullion. "Where then does the sold dollar come in? 0 He thinks the recent Democratic convention were small potatoes and few in a hill, at least the delegates to Chicago. When I get too big tc affiliate with the majority of my part} 1 shall not ask that majority for theii votes. Mr. Brawlev condemns me foi what I said in an interview, but says nothing about such Democrats as Gorman and Morgan who uttered almost precisely the same language. Maj. Brawley?They didn't saj tlia ta third ticket would be put Part} in the field within twenty-four hours and that thev knew what thev were talking about. (Voice: Put it to him Brawley!) Dr. Stokes?X said I would not gc with them into the third party, yel he claims I meant to put the people there. Dr. Stokes was not in favor of Stat* banks of issue as it would give the "wild cat"' banks a chance to pul their currency in circulation, anc the people would not know how tc distinguish between good and bad. MAJOR BRAWLEY made a rejoinder in which he showec that he was entirely in touch with 4-Vir> tiloir* r>?>/vrv1a TPLnvfl ic ?n icon* l'"41" ? "V of personal character involved. No body doubts .that ]> , SfroL*^ -I? , <>v honest man or that I am. If so, lei him speak. I think Br. Stokes thinks he thinks a great deal more of the dear people than possibly 3 pretend to, but I have no idea he is nearer to the people than I am. I was not born with a silver or c gold spoon in my mouth. I started after the war with nothing but debt I defy any man to say he is more ir sympathy with the plain people thar I am. I don't belong to that mythi cal aristocracy that for certion pur poses some people pretend is govern ing South Carolina. I have never known the time the plain people of Lexington could nol vote for whom they wanted. Yet it is pretended that this is a time wher the plain people can do a great dea! better than ever before. Have you any more liberties or privileges? Ii any man can bring about an era thai will be a great deal better I woulc like to see mm sent to congress. dk. stokes closed the discussion with the sur rejoinder. He spoke of it not being a safe principle to send corporator lawyers to represent the people, anc Maj. Brawley replied that he did not represent any corporation since go ing to Congress. Mr. Stokes sait that his firm did. After Dr. Stokes closed, Messrs. Nelson and Patton addressed thf audience in behalf of their candi dacy for Solicitor. Both made goot speeches which were well received Col. Talbet was called for and re sponded with a short, pithy speech Mr. O'Brien made a ten minute'* speech in behalf of temperance. A platform was erected on whicl the young people were dancing whei we lelt. A Card. To the Editor of the Dispatch, Lexington S. C. Dear Sir: The friends of N.

L. A. Sease, Pres. - On the Rennets. Glorious'Jand of freedom! For - more tlian a week, with a legion of 1 candidates I have been engaged in attending campaign meetings. We > have had fun, enjoyed Lexington's proverbial hospitality and ate hash ^ in an abundance that bought smoke 1 i n.;n. i~: i : : v?it.u ito tjuipiuy uuhu in a luiauua 5 quantity. ^ Throughout these meetings all has ? been gladsome, peaceful and full of ' the jokes of the halcyon days of South Carolina. We campaigners f can never forget genial old Red Bank , with her cheering music, pretty ) women and chivalric men. At Scof. fill's in Black Creek, we knew cheery t John Scoffill before we went there, but he opened wide his heart and i his home showing abundance of - milk and honey, flowers and, withal, . the home of plenty, joy and gladness. 1 We had a good meeting there. The i T i n ii ; oaroecue ana nasn were line, tne i women were pretty and the babies, nearly all named Ben Tillman, were fat * and promising. Next day at Boynton Academy opened up ' brightly with a people blessed by plenty of hog and hominy and the I prospect of a plenteous crop. A ; goodly crowd was in attendance. . All the candidates spoke, or an nounced and suffered the ordeal of a t catechising. It was a good day for } old Boynton Academy. On the foll lowing day the new town of Gaston ) on the South Bound, wore her gala attire and, like the other places, furn5 islied a barbecue fit to feast the gods I with "Doc" Goodwin to raise Joe i Reeder was oil hand at Boynton and ) Jimmie Smith fixed matters in beef, r pork and mutton, so that all went * merry as a marriage bell. Candidates differed but they didn't quar: rel, but felt happy. , Just as 011 former days, Dr. Stokes j opened for Congress, Solicitor Nel[ son and his competitor, Patton, followed: then came the speeches of r Davis and Elird for Senator, fol. lowed by a legion of other candi. dates?all good, genial fellows anx> ious for votes, closing, as all these { meetings have, with a speech from Boynton O'Brien, who, not being a ) candidate, touched upon the prohilut lion question?a topic too delicate > for candidates. Here, too, the bar becue was splendid as managed by j Messrs. Abies and Goodwin, j Next day at Culler and Saylor's f, was an old field day with a basket I dinner, free to all, which did credit , to her fair women. The candidates and O'Brien spoke here, and everywhere was ye editor of the Dispatch [ present devouring mutton and hash, t but, like a good fellow, making friends for his paper. ; Most of us skipped the classic shades of -New Brooklanfeind went . spent the night at the hospitable home of Mr. Arthur Nunamaker. and next i morning was rejoiced to find Chapin so progressive and "a thing of beauty and a joy forever." T*?re was a grand barbecue,characte^tic of these L w sturdy Dutch Fork yeomanry?aye, a better, nobler people never breathed the breath of life. The grand feature of the day was speeches from the Hon. W. H. Brawley and Dr. J. Win. Stokes, his competitor for Congress. Both have many friends there. Brawley is loved for his talent and warmth of soul, and the coolness of Stokes is accepted as natural. Brawley is growing with the people, Stokes has attained his growth. I The candidates and people look to Stansell Hutto's barbecue on the p 28th of July, when all lower Lexing. ton will meet the host of candidates ^ to hear them, and Lexington's Brass Band, Brawley and Stokes for Congress; Nelson and Patton for Solicitor, and Col.Talbert will unite with the ' candidates to make this t!ie grandest ? meeting of the campaign ' He who 1 goes to Hutto's barbecue will find a ^ rich treat in music, feast and elot quence. The ball rolls on. Tillman will be I elected and, when the clouds roll Al- - : t 51, away, me wmte wings ui peace win hover about a well fougit" political * field while glorious old Leiington will - loom up as the bauner Democratic I county in the cause of Tllman and .

All persons interested, both ladies and gentlemen, are earnestly requested to be present, James E. Hendrix, Pres. Jno. E. Hood, Secty. A Mistake. To the Editor of the i&ispatch: I have recently been informed that the impression has been prevailing in portions of Edgefield and Lexington county that the three dollar poll tax advocated by Gov. B. R. Tillman was to be the only tax which would be collected. This is a great mistake. It does not in any way reduce the tax on personal or real property or MnflHtnfinnftl f.OT nf fwn -/mil a but adds two- dollars per year to the present poll tax. Gov. Tillman who gets a salary of $3,500 per year could very easily pay this but the man who from his farm earns not more than a scanty living would find his burden increased by this tax. By whom and for what end the error above referred to is being circulated is not known, but it should be corrected. J. E. Leesville, S. C., July 18th, 1892. Baptist Union.
