Next Monday the candidates for United States Senator will be in Lexington to address tbe people on questions in reference to the policy of the National government in dealing with the governed and its relation with foreign powers. The candidates are all more or less known to the people of the State either personally or by reputation by reason of their past public and private records, and in coming before the people asking their suffrage to elevate one among their number to the highest political position within power of of a sovereign people to bestow, they are but exercising a right vouch sated to them by the ruleB and regulations of the Democratic party of this State. They are all hightoned gentlemen and eminent statesmen who, with but one exception, have a national reputation in forming the policies and measures of the party. It is an honor to seek the position to which they aspire and in honoring either one of them the people will reflect honor upon themselves. These gentlemeD have complied with all the requirements of the rules governing primary elections; have paid their assessments for the privilege of contending for the place and in return ~ n?nn/if on/) if Jo Uttve Ik liu ca^icvi, auu u to bat natural for them to do so, a large turnout of Democratic voters at these campaign meetings and an attentive hearing. Lexington has the reputation of giving the candidates large audiences as well as close attention and we want the reputation of the old county sustained next Monday. Everybody should show their interest in the party's welfare by coming to the court house next Monday and hear what these silver tongued orators have to say for themselves. It will be a day will spent, and while it cannot be classed as strictly a campaign of education yet much can be learned by attending it, so let every man, woman and child in Lexington county assemble at the court house early next Monday morning. Col. W. J. Bryan is opposed to the efforts being made to harmonize the different discordant elements in the Democratic ranks so as to place the riofli fn tmofnrr TTa ia y?JL I'J 1U WUO ^/UVU iv ?4VkV* J MW ?k/ fighting the proposition to reorganize the party on broader and more liberal policies and in spirit, if rot in letter, is willing to see the party go down again in defeat rather than to surrender the populietic policies which have been eDgrafted upon the body politic and sucked its vitals and energy. A re-urn to the pure, simple doctrine of Jefferson would infuse new life and new vigor into the dried up arteries and the warning hopes caused by the repeated defeats which have overtaken it since the civil war through the mistakes, short sightedness and narrow mindedness of those who have been entrusted by the people with its leadership, who have been victims of the glamor of false lights and the advocates of unsound doctrines. Each one of the six candidates for "United States Senator is pledged in advance to play second fiddle to the Hon. Benjamin Ryan Tillman, so as to measures it is a matter of no moment which one of the half dozen chimes in the chorus with "me too.'' A deadly whirlwind visited different portions of the North on July 20, destroying much property and hilling and injuiing many persons. Candidate Heyward, in his ppeech at this place campaign day, declared that the South should not now b9 so much concerned about political questions as it should be in industrial ones, and by way of illustration compared the prosperous condition cf the New England States, which had given its fostering care and attention almost entirely to the encouragement of its industrial interests to the exclusion of political ones, with the condition of the South which has heretofore i oriTTcn if.q pnHre time and attention ft* * to politics to the injury of its industrial interests. This is eminently correct and the sentiment is as sound as a gold dollar, but this doctrine is double distilled Republicanism and in giving expression to it Candidale Heyward was venturing on exceedingly dangerous ground. Col. Micah Jenkins, the successor of Mr. George R Koester as Inter-1 nal Revenue Collector for South Carolina, has taken charge of the office. It is rumored that be will make his headquarters at Charleston so as to j enjoy the company of his numerous j relatives, but the story is not credited by the inner circle of that city.
