When we went to press last week the returns from the State election were so meagre that it was impossible to even conjecture the majorities of the successful candidates. It was a primary of surprises; thesplen dill iuu mnde by Judge Earle was the first and great surprise and the defeat of Gtn. Richbourg was the second. The vote for the candidates who had opposition, as tabulated by the Slate committee, is as follows: For United States Senator?Evans, 38,892: Earle, 31,092; Duncan, 8,327. s For Governor?WhitmaD, 2.186: Ellerbee, 5.3,313; HarrisoD, 11,278.

Schumpert and Sease will make the second race. 8ch Circuit?Ansel, 9,759; Prince, 5,989. HIS INFLUENCE GROWING. There certainly can no longer be a doubt in the mind of a reasonable, thinking and intelligent man in re j i. ii t L :_J -? T> Kgaru to cue poccui iuiiueuw ui oeu Tillman in the politics of this State. This influence is now no longer limited by the borders of South CaroKlina, but it has gone out into the broader and wider fields of National politics where the possibilities for the . exercise of his remarkable genius as a leader are increased and his labors in behalf of the laboring people of th8 nation promises larger returns in benefits. True there are men yet to be found who strive to shut their eyes to the fact of Senator Tillman's increasing influence and in their frenzied passions, deny that the magnatism and intelligence of the man are having a wonderful and beneficial influence upon the destiny of the Democratic nominee for President, in so far as it relates to his election, the cause of silver and the correction of the evils growing out of the attempt to make this nation a government by injunctions. But this effort on the part of his enemies to belittle the work of Senator Tillman and accuse him of doing harm to Democracy aud its principles by his iutemperate, harsh and abusive language, is fathered mainly from thoughts warped by deep seated prejudices and never dying hatred. His enemies generally opeu wide their eyes to his faults and mistakes and close them tightly to his brilliant successes and virtues. It was his magnificent speech, his terrible arraignment of the Republican party and his bold denunciation of the treachery of Cleveland and his Cabinet in betraying the trust placed in their keeping by the Democratic party, that Hashed, like a beacon of hope from the gloom of financial depression, across the South and West bidding the poverty stricken people of these sections to be of good cheer, awoke them from their Jethargy brought on by dispair of relief and bidding rights them to prepare to do battle for their i It was his clarion voice and burning words that set the West on fire in the interest of silver, and paved the way for tbe Domination of Mr. Bryan and made bis election possible. It was Senator Tillman with bis plain unvamised truths, forcefully and eloquently expressed, that aroused tbe miners in tbe coal fields of Pennsylvania thus, in all human probability, giving tbe Democrats at least four more Congressmen and greatly increasing tbe chances of Bryan carrying that State. These are some few of the things accomplished by Sena' . ? . a i? lor Tillmau during bis first year in National politics. He has gone before and started the light in the West; "he is now blazing the road to the White House for Bryan and he will champion the cause of the people in the United States Senate. Hurrah, for Tillman! Is it any wonder | that the people love, honor and re! spect him, and their enemies hate and fear him and tremble at the mention of his name? TEE ALLIANCE PICNIC. j The great pressure made on our columns by political news for the past several weeks was the means of causing us to neglect some home harmeninffs of an important and in f r o * teresting nature, amoDg which was the account of the Alliance picnic at Midway school house on Thursday, August 20th. Our information is that it was one of the largest gatherings of representative farmers ever held in this county on a like occasion. Staid and steady men and elderly matrons who, having passed the meridan of life, the frivolities of youth have lost their charms to them, put on their Sunday meeting clothes and went to talk about crop prospects, the latest improved machinery, best breeds of stock, cattle, hogs, sheep, politics, household and domestic affairs. The wedded pairs, just starting life's jourriHv together adown the hill of time, / --O with their horizou liberally besprinkled with clouds of gold and linings of silver, emblematic of the twin standards, were there billiug aud cooing, bragging on the prowess of their husbands in the battld with Gen. GreeD, and the sweetness and lovely disposition of their handsome and happy young wives. Gallant beaux and beautiful belies, with happy smiling faces, vieiug with each other in having a pleasant day and in making others happy, where there in all their finery. Even the bright faces of innocent childhood lent enchantment to the scene. The etand was most beautifully decorated with products from the rich store houses of Agriculture and Hoiticulture and from the varigated and blooming garden of fair Flora. These products and fruits and flowers were tastefully arranged so as to show off to the best advantage. It was indeed a beautiful sight to behold this noble structure erected in tmnnr nf thft ornddflss of industrv in the beautiful grove of majestic oaks and giant pines with the blue canopy of heaven for a covering and the dense shade of nature'8 forest for a sentinel. There were some good, sound Alliance doctrine taught that day. The principles, demands and purposes of tnis noble order were ably discussed by President Keitt, Secretary Reid, State Lecturer "YVilborn, officers of the Alliance, and Mr. Gaines, representing the Cotton Plant. These gentlemen told how the Alliance had benefited the farmers by fighting their battles against monopolies, trusts and combines and aiding and assisting them in various other ways. They urged all who were not already a member to become one at once. v Their speeches were listened to with close attention by the large audience and much good was accomplised by their deliverance. The candidates were out in full force and enlivened the occasion by shaking hands and button holing voters. Music was furnished by the State Brass Band. There was an abundance of good things to eat and everybody was filled to overflowing and went home rejoicing. Judge Simonion has decided that he has no jurisdiction in the cut rate war between the Seaboard Airline and the Southern Railway and dissolved his temporary injunction. This is righteous decision and for which he should be commended. But he clouds his decision when he ordered that each party to the suit pay his own cost- After deciding that his court had no jurisdiction in the matter it follows that the S. A. L. people have been put to expense and trouble to defend an action in a court without jurisdiction. In other words Judge Simonton decides that a person has a right to harrass, annoy and persecute another in the exercise of his lawful rights and the ' only redress the person so persecuted has is to pay a part -of the cost of court. This is iustice with a ven 0 gence. The disgruntled gold bugs met in convention at Indianapolis, Indiana, yesterday, to adopt a platform and nominate candidates for President and Vice President. The trouble seems to be in finding some one willing to be "crucified upon the cross of gold." The chase for the Senatorial plum is becoming hotter and hotter. The two aspirants are bending every nerve in their efforts to come out ahead, and both are confident of success. May the best man win. Already there is some talk of an Independent county ticket in Charleston. We hope the movement will be 3 kiiled before it is born. j In an interview with a leporter for the Rpgister, Senator Tillman is quoted as having expressed his disbelief in the charge that Governor EvaDS said that he (Tillman) had lined his pockets with dispensary rebates and regards it as campaign slander, without foundation in fact or fancy. The Columbia Register wants to know "what Grover will do?"' Why, after March 4th he wiii go duck hunt ing up Salt rivir. Give us something harder. r>? 1 ? xvaiiy &ciwweit>, 4va.iy. To the Editor of the Dispatch. The second primary race for United States Senator is on, and the factional lines have been sharply drawn by the conservatives. Earle's election means dea:h to the farmer's Reform government, and a return of Haskellism into power,and a hold on all the emoluments of office. Reformers have your enemies convinced vcu that you have no sense, and that they only can run your government You will say, oh, 110! Then how can you vote for Earle f Reformers, will you split and give a portion of your vote to Earle while the Anties will vote solidly against you? Strange that Reformers vote for Antis, but Antis never vote for Reformers. Nothing conciliatory from Antis ex cept to do as they want you to do. Are you ready to bow in humble submission-and turn over your votes to Earle, and the State government and all its franchises and emoluments of office to the men who, since March, 1890, have been your deadly enemies? Never has a Governor been subjected to insults and indignities such as has been heaped upon Governor Evans, by Duncan and Earle. Think of it, a Judge guilty of assault and battery upon the Governor. He should never again be allowed to sit as a Judge. He is unworthy and should be impeached. From this time on Duncan's name will be mud, and so will be all Reform office holders who have either directly or indirectly seconded the dirty methods of Duncan and Earle in the late campaign. It was from the sloughs of the wonderful find of A. B. Williams that Duncan and Earle scraped the filth with which they have tried to besmear Governor Evans and through him the Reform government. Williams shakes with an exultant laugh as he thinks how smart he is, and how he ha3 fooled the Reformers into voting for Earle. Noble trio! Williams, Earle, Duncan, Think they are some pumpkiD: Neither can tell a lie, Not even, were they to try. But in all their charges against Evans they have proven but one thing, and that is, they want to be United States Senator for the next six years. But for the work of Evans as attorney for Rhind, Haskel would, in all probability, have downed Tillman and Bates in the funding of the State debt, and thus would have ruined the farmers government and brought it to an open shame. And for this noble work Evans is to be turned down and dishonored by the Reformers. Reform aspirants for office and others in and out of office who have profited by the Reform movement, flatter not yourselves that in the event of a return of the Antis to power you will be re tained in any position. You will not. No Anti is your friend. Then vote not for one of them. They will not reciprocate. Then 1 ally, rally, Reformers and see to it that not a Reformer fails to go to the polls on the 8th and vote for Evans. Evans is 8,000 ahead of Earle, and it is only by the Reformers not voting that Earle can catch and beat him. Alliance Reformer. The Reform party in South Carolina is strong enough and honest enough to purify itself, if the conservatives will only tote fair, for instance: In Edgefield county vote for Thurmond for solicitor. We Reformers voted for and elected a conservative to the legislature. Now turn about is fair play. Besides Thurmond is abet ter man that Nelson. The returns in Edgefield county show that the conservatives voted almost solidly for Nelson in the first race. We are trying to get together as one brotherhood in Edgefield county and we beg conservatives to tote fair, otherwise reformers will learn to distrust their professions.?Edgefield Advertiser.

"The Fly=Wheel of Life" Dr.Tutt; Your Liver Pills are the fly-wheel of life. I shall ever be grateful for the accident that | brought them to my notice. I feel as if I had a new lease of life. J. Fairleigh, Platte Cannon, Col. Tutt's Liver Pills To the Voters cf Lexington Connty. I am credibly informed that my competitor, Mr. Lewis Langford, has spread over the county the report that if I am elected the long bridge over the factory pond, between Lexington C. II. and the depct, will be thrown on the county and thus entail a heavy expense on the tax pay ers, and he assigns as one oi ins reasons that my father, Maj. Mtetze, is a large stockholder in the factory I ($5,000) and through his influence over me, this result would be accomplished. Now for the facts. Neither my father nor any member of his family own one dollar's worth of stock in said factory, nor is he the counsel for the company. So much for that. (See Mr. Roof's certificate.) The Board of County Commissioners which preceded the Board on which Mr. Langford served had given permission to the factory company to raise their pond over the road leading from the village to the depot, covering it and the bridges thereon ?one over the creek and another over the branch near by?by building a bridge at their own expense, which they did "When the Board of which Mr. Langford was a member, came into office this was an open question, and be, with S. L Smith and P. II. Caughman, entered into a contract with W. P. Roof, President of the Lexington Manufacturing Company, in which it is stipulated that the county was to keep up 56 feet of said bridge, the exact length of the bridges over the creek and branch, and the factory company was to keep up the remainder of the bridge. The whole bridge is 489 feet long, or in more exact terms of the contract, the County Commissioners were to keep up the whole bridge, keep an account of the expenses and at the end of the fiscal year the Manufacturing Company to pay the county in proportion as 56 is to 383?in other woids, abount one sixteenth wa*s to be paid by the county. The original contract is on file in the office of the County Commission ers, and it is also recorded in tbe office of the Clerk of tbe Couit. This contract is binding on tbe successors of tbe Commissioners and of W. P. Roof, President of tbe Lexington Manufacturing Co So far, this looks favorable to the county, but now we come to another portion of this contract: That if the Manufacturing Co.. at any time it desires, on thirty days notice to the County Commissioners, may fill in this wooden bridge with dirt, thus making a dirt road three feet above high water mark and fifteen feet wide at top, and the County Commissioners, upon such notice, agree to bold abutments on each side of a space of seventy-five feet, so as to hold a bridge to be put theieon, and also wings to hold the diit from sliding into the water?50 feet of said hridrro in hp riflifl fr>r hv t.hp r innfv ? ?1?~ r ? "J j and 19 feet by the Manufacturing Co., and the said company further agrees that if it shall be necessary to place a bench under the span of 75 feet, it shall be done at their expense. Now this being done then the county assumes forever the expense of keeping up, not only this bridge, but the entire road way of 414 feet in addition, and the factory company also agrees to repair said dirt way if it should be effected by the water. No, no, Mr. Langford, if I should be elected there is no danger of my fixing this load on the county, the Board of which you were a member have already, by the contract, tied my hands and the hands of the County Commissioners, and you have fixed this matter beyond their control. It is painful for me to thus.appear before you. To all my competitors I i have endeavored to be courteous and j kind, and 1" am sure that not one of j them can say with a truth that I j have uttered the faintest whisper j against cither ot them. JLdon t want , office if I can't get it honorably, but ! I would be untrue to my friends and to my own manhood if I did net, in this public manner denounce these statements of Mr. Langford as false j and that he knew them to be so 1 when he circulated them, as he is a party to the contract I have referred to. This is the only mode I have of reaching you before the election. Xv Your obedient servant, W. H. Meetze. Dj As CERTIFICATE OF W. 1'. IIOOF.
