Tho first mooting of tho Stato oanv paign was hold at Orangoburg last Th?rs? day morning. Il oponod up quietly, hut foro its ul080 grow rathol warm. Tho principal surprise was the entry of Mr. A. C. .tones, former Prohibition chair man, as a candidato for thc Tinted States .sonate, ti. Walt Whitmnn failed to ante with his $r>(> because of his ina bility lo raise the money, and conse quently was not allowed to outer the race. Qovornor McSwoouoy was tho first speaker. He reviewed bis record ns Governor, discussed the Impracticability of prohibition and defended bis admin istration of the dispensary law. The Qovornor was well roooived und ut che conclusion of his speech was e.hoorcd heartily. Go) on ol Hoyt was roooived with warm applause, but was not allowed lo make his speech without continuous interrup tions. Ile followed the general line of his recent address to thc Prohibitionists of the Stato, arguing against tho princi ple of lin- State's engaging in the bqttor business. Whoil bc closed be wns the recipient of Howers and various pledges of support. Mi. A. ll. Patterson told bow be had formerly hoon fl Prohibitionist : but had boon convinced of the impracticability of prohibition in the light of further ex perience and had reformed, tlc charged Gololiol Hoyt with favoring a coalatioa between thc Prohibitionists and thc high license crowd, and cited the position of thc Columbia State on the question ns proof. Ile then jumped on Qovornor McSwooncy, charging him with d?robe hm, nf duty in nol attempting to sur press thc blind tiger business in (maries t,m Inn actually conniving at violations ,,' :ltc lav. Ile repealed a nowspapoi charge to thc effect that thc Qovornor is a patron ot blind tigers, and claimed ?hat Hie Governoi was irving to suits! tl i KO tin State press bj an unlawful use ot the contingent fund for tho paynton! ol subscriptions to countrypapors. The (tovernoi denied that he was a patron of blind tigers. Ile tohi Mr. Patterson that ever j Qovornor from tlngood down had subscribed for the county papors, ami ?hal if Patterson would read these papers he would he much bettor in formed. Mi I", li. Gary delivered n straight fm Wan i \pression of his views on various mailers without indulging in person alities ol nnj objectionable nature.
