A large and atten tive crowd was present, som0 :100 to !l?O | voters being on hand. Tho Chairman, Hon. .1. C. alexander, introduced Maj. S. 1*. Dendy, a candidato for the State Senate, as the Hist speaker. We did not hear the ll rsl part of bis speech. Ho was defining his position on Hie whiskey question when this reporter arrived. Ile declared the only way to settle the question was to allow the peo ple to vote on it and settle it for them selves. lt was argued at Walhalla al tho State campaign meeting that the issue had already booti settled, but he did not think so. Oconee people at least had not been allowed a voice as to what this county should do. If elected he should cast his volo for prohibition. Tho dis pensary had boen weighed in the bal ances and found wanting. Many changos had been mulei taken to perfect the law, but with il all, it would bob up with scandals oil its face to disturb the serenity of tho State. Ile had just served this county one term in the House w here he had made it a mle to bo at bis post of duty at all time-, and if elected to the Se?ale he would promise to always bo at bis post to serve the ci linty to thc best of his ability. Mr. F.. L. Hcrildoil said he believed that the State colleges should continue to have that liberal support they had re COivod ill tho past. With all. however, the common schools should md be neg tuOtOd. If elected be said he would (lo all he could for thc common schools. As to the liquor question he was in favor o? a law divorcing Ibo whiskey question from politics and lea-e it to the people to settle in au oil' year. Liquor will be sold, no matter what law is 'nade. Mr. I'".. I'. Karie was not present. Tho chairman read a letter from him. Mr. W. M. Drown, a candidate foi thc House of Representativos, said be did not wish to be understood as being an tagonistic to colleges, but if elected be would try lo cut down all unnecessary expenses. Thc common school-, should be fostered. Ile favored local option for thii .settlement of thc whiskey question, Should we have ?in election ho would vote and work for oohibit ion. Ile would vote in the Legislature for prohi bition. If that failed, th m he would do his best lo allow < IcotlCC a vole and t luis give tho people the privilege Of saying what this county should have. Mr. W. (>. Singleton said I he dispensary was the best plan yet devised to control tho whiskey question, Thc best way for the peoplo was to (?nil buying and drinking liquor. He was as mindi in favor of Mate colleges ns an\ one, and be believed in the common schools, too. Mr. .laim s W. dearden said ll:, li ju . question was thc main issue in this cam paign and no Oil need try to dodge it. He would state plainly I hat he was for prohibition and if elected would vole thal woy, This (pieslioii will never be settled as long as the Mate is engaged in the liquor business. Ile Would lather be defe ited on bis principies than elected on an issue against it. Ile is proud of Clemsoni College lt does in1 i dst Un people anything, lt was supported on tag tax. He was im more economy in t he conduct of colleges, Col. lt, A. Thompson said he regretted that whiskey was the absorbing tupie. Local Option was tl.Illy way to settle tho question between dispensary and prohibition. So high license for lum. Ho thought the comil ?n schools should be made moro ellioioiit, I Ie spoke highly of Winthrop College, The stale is some what top heavy in colleges, but thc nioner appropriated to th, in ls well Spent, Mr. .I. W. 'I odd said he was bitterly opposed to the dispensary, because b> and (brough it thc State undertakes ti do that which il admits !s wrong', lt makes it a crime foi an individual lo dc what it is making money on ol'. Tin cry that to abolish Hie dispensar) is (< go back to tlic barroom is made to dc COiVO J'OU. Thc const ii ni ion forbids evci going to tho barroom again. Ho favorod coin0)00 schools. If thoro must bo a curtailment lot it bo in tho appropriation to colleges. Ho said ho was opposed to tho tag tax and favored direct appropria tion to colleges. Was for prohibition straight. If anything oise comes lot it bo only by tho voto of tho people. Mr. J. M. llmmicult said bo was will ing to go with the dispensary or prohibi tion as the peoplo want. Ho said he was for building an academy at every Court house. For A. Lay wo aro requested to say that before wo undertake to build a bridge over Tugaloo river wo should have tho money ready to pay for it ami , until Hie money is provided ho cannot consider the matter. We will have many b.idgcs to build in tho county next year and unless a very heavy tax is levied wo will not have tho money to spend on thc matter. My motto is: Goonoo tlrst, Goonoo and llabeisham second. K. I?. KAKl.K's I.KTTKlt. Mr. Chairman: I regret very much that I am unable to attond tho campaign mooting, and will bo pleased to have you read (Ids letter to the people. 1 had hoped to he able to attend, but my re cent illness has left mo so prostrated that it is not advisable for mo to go out in tho hot weatl or. 1 recognize ttl o right of tho voters to demand and know tho views of anyone who is offered for preferment, and espe cially those whet should represent thom in the legislative department of tho government. 1 shall bo willing to ox press my views at all times and to give tho reasons therefor. Upon the liquor question, as a moral issue, 1 am a prohibitionists, to tho ex tent of minimizing tho evils of intemper ance, hut 1 doubt the propriety of at tempting to force if upon the peoplo un til they have expressed themselves as to what tiley want. I realize tho fact that much of the people's money is frittered away at each session of tho General Assembly in discussing this question. Nearly half of each session is consumed upon a purely political question and ono which tho peoplo cnn and should settle for themselves hy direct vote. As a public servant I shall use ovory ol?ort to carry into o Hoot the expressed wishes of my people, and am in favor of a direct vote upon tho liquor question or any other question that they may demand. Upon the subject of education, I favor a liberal support to the common schools and shall do what I can for their ad vancement ami olllcioucy. I am opposed to high appropriations for tho Stato colleges and think that they should bo run on as economical a basis as other i col logos and shall vote for tho least that is consistent with rigid economy. I think that Clemson Coll?ge now (ids every want that was claimed by tho friends of the Citadel Academy in Chai lesion for it and think that it should be turned over to that city for an educa tional institution ami tho $20,000 appro priated to it given lo tho common schools. As to tho redistricting of the State, 1 am in favor of tho Congressional districts being composed of contiguous territory as nearly as practicable, but not, how ever, to the extent that tho more popu lous communities or cities should have an undue advantage over tho country. 1 am in favor of the Stato utilizing tlie convict labor in tho manufacture of fer tilizers to be furnished to the farmers as cheaply as possible and prevent the op pression of the guano trust. Doing ll) y sci I a Confed?rale soldier, who served through the war, my sympa thies are witli tho veterans, and it would alford me great pleasure to lighten their burdens and make as bright as possible their declining yours, ami will vote for tho highest appropriation for their beno ni. I believe in the most rigid economy in all the departments ol government, and I caution the people as to the present seeming prosperity, that is only the re sult of thc expenditures on account of I he recent war. I deem (he present publii buildings of this county suOlciont, and do not favor an extra tax levy for such purpose. I believe in tho doctrine of less law and mort! liberty for tho people. My candidacy is in the hands of my friends, ami if (hey think ino a suitable man lo represent this county in the State Senate. I shall feel grateful for theil support. Respectfully, K. 1'. KAUM:.

Tooday waa quito hot and tho meeting waa uot very largely attended, it waa comparatively quiet and entirely well diapoaed, and no ono waa in an ill humor. Tho meeting waa held in tho grove of tho old Adger College campus, and tho apeakiug waa from a stand which ia anon to he uacd for tho Sciui-Contoiiniul celebration. tleu. Floyd spoke tir.st und complained of his troubles lu lighting without Ilia opponent ticing hero. Tho Railroad I'ommissionurs came next. W. 1). Mayfield, J. E. Pettigrew, Thomas N. Dorry and .1. H. Wharton made pretty much tho same argument on business linea. Mr. Wharton protested that tho rato OU eggs was as high frc ni Seneca to Lau rena as to Now York. W. I). Evans and ll. ll. Evana had their old tilt about tho dispensary policies willoh were aecured through Harney li, ^ YOU UOYHUNOlt. G. Walt Whitman took tho middle of thu stand and orated at length and with vigor, regardless of perspiration and heat. Ho said that if liquor was mado in this State ho favored patronizing homo industry hy buying it for tho dispensarios. Ho reiterated Ins usual pleasantries and arguments. Mit. I HANK ll. Cl A HY stood in tho broiling hot sun und an nounced his well known platform und viows. Some ono, ho said, complained that inferior liquor was hoing sold, hut this was not tho intention of tho dispen sary system, mid it should not bo so. Ho waa running because ho was a friend of the dispensary and becauso tho law was not now being enforced. Ho would enforce it by putting constables whore needed. As to tho old soldier lie wanted to say ho was Ibo friend of tho old soldier, and his proudest moment was when ho welcomed tho veterans to Charleston. Ho explained tho present distribution of Hm dispensary profits and argued that it was host. Ho spoko forcibly to show that Patterson should cease to uso tho argument, about his brothers' holding oflice being anything against him. A. HOW A Ul) I* AIT ICU SOX said there was hut ono issue in this cam paign, and that was tho liquor question, and ho made his regular defence of tho dispensary and wound up with tho usual attack on tho Mcsweeney administr?t ion, especially as to C liarlos toil, lie pounded McSwconoy for not seizing har fixtures and worrying tho poor mountaineer who sells a jug of liquor, if a law is to ho en forced, lie said, ono should not ask whether thon bo any bloodshed or not. l?o said.McSweenev talked about saving : money. If ho had a few moro consta- t I).08 they could do something, lio esti- ? mated that there are four hundred blind ( tigers in Charleston and ono hundred in ^ Columbia. Their sale at il each would bo $600 a day, or $180,000 a year, and the , constables, if cm ploy 0(1, could savo this. KUerbo had about sixty constables, | which, at $2 a day, would, cost $43,000 a i year. Mcsweeney has forty-four consta- | liles which would cost. $81,080 a year, a | di ff Ol'OtlCO of $11,620. There aro in Charleston 180 revenue lieenses, and sup pose each holder of these sells >C> a day, that would bo $000 a day, $'_>7,tM>i>a mouth, 1 or $32-1,000 n year. So, instead of saving, tho State is losing, by not having tho j constables. ' OOVKKNOlt M'sWKKN KV said about the only thing against him was tho tirade against him and Charles ton. All he wanted was to have the ' last year compared with any other year. lt was wrong to single out any town. Ho 1 did not claim loo Hinch, but the people ? were doing their share towards onforc- 1 ing tho law. None of his constables will 1 ever be allowed to injure any ono on ' ll i may grounds. Ho road a telegram .' from Chief Howie in which he showed I that instructions were issued to seize ' (ixlines, and ho stated that tho reason 1 lix tures were not seized was becauso thc 1 "ligers" got the goods back on claim and delivery and the constables hail not been 1 able to provide for counter-bonds. The State board had been asked to provide for these bonds, but has not yet done so. Tho expenses wee included in Mr. Pat terson's ligures and he imagined a groat deal. He did not. agree with Cary that ? here ought to bo prohibition in ono county and dispensary in others. If there were to bo Improvements in tho dis pensary they must come from tho Legis lature, and prohibition to begin with, would increase taxes. Ho referred to tho Pons case, tho florence matter and the Hariiwoll removals to show that ho did his duty without fear or favor. He held tho Prohibition Convention respon sible for tho present dispute and cam paign and insisted that party or factional conventions should not lie held. COL, .1A Si KS A. HOYT said the friends of Hie dispensary had already criticised it. sullieiontly for him not lo say anything about it. There is no use to go to Kansans to lind violations of the dispensary, for every law is vio lated then: or here. Ho believed there would be agitation until tho dispensary was abolished. The dispensary has some good features, bul they are getting in bad reputo hy non-enforcement. Moral questions, if they affect tho peoplo, have a perfect right to enter into politics, Tho State has no right to engage ill busi ness. Take tho profit foal uro from Iho dispensary and it will go. lt. is tho money that is in it that keeps it on you. That is tho universal appeal. He had said OVOrywhoro he wanted to abolish Hie dispensary. He insisted that Till man had made a mistake to mix up in Iiis family quarrels and especially to jump on him. Hoyt is going to be elected bc thinks, unless he can stop Iho wave. Ile spoko of Tillman as now be ing I). I).. LLD., and ono X. I)., and as such he welcomed him and was not afraid to meet hun.

Ile aiitioipatod Dr. Wyche's speech and "orcibly explained hisviowson the tariff, I le defended free rural deliveries as bo ng just, and he insisted on getting his dune of tho appropriations for tho poo ?ile. He explained how ho had tho Post master Oeneral to allow him to try free rural delivery in his district. As to his mn tho Postmaster General had sug gested him, ami his son told him, as did lis wife, that he had no right to stand in thc way of his son. Ho did not ask for for his son's appointment, but it was tho Postmaster's suggestion, and ho was iiaid $2,800 and was a Democrat. Mr. Latimor scorned to ho in tho houso of his friends. Dr. C. T. Wyebo said that if th oro was anything ho despised it was a shin-' derer. So far as he was concorned, in ad dition to giving his wifo and son jobs, he could give all his family jobs. A man who has as much money as Latimer ought to have let his son continuo at college. Eat!mer and Wyebo bad a tilt about tho Prosperity postofllo.

Latimer said this was false, and Wyebo said his infor mation was as stated, but if he was mis taken be would withdraw tho statement. He could send as many seed and get as many routes as Latimer. Tho increase ol" foreign coinmorco was tho best thing to build up this country. Latimer tells these people of tho trusts and every thing, but when ho gets to Washington, if is give mo a few more seed anti a few more routes. Mr. Vernor was absent hocauso of sickness. Dr. Bouse was also absent ami sick. S UN ATO J t TILLMAN Was well rceoivod after a six hours wait. Ho was only limited because of time, ami SOniO ono cried: "Tho ip OOO is shining," and Tillman caught thc joke, and thought this was a good ono on him about this moonshine country. Ile then replied to Col. Hoyt's speoch mi his usual line. Thc people, ho said, would elect no Governor this year not in Sympathy with him. Ho then argued tiiat tho hand primaries show bow things aro going; that they show that Ibo dispensary is here to stay. Ho took up the Kev. W. B. Richardson's recent sermon and read tho extract about tho dispensary being "originated by a politi cal demagogue for political purposes," and asked what was that but politics'.' Talking about Hoyt's D. I)., LL. IX, he said some now thought D. I), stood for damned devil, and LLD. was to bo changed by putting ho boforo tho LL. These people boro, he said, will continue to make their liquor and uso it no mat ter what prohibition may try to do. Oconeo now lind $2,000 in tho treasury from tho dispensary, and no ono knew or felt where it came from. Ile wanted to know why, if Col. Hoyt knew the dispensary was not being en forced, he and his friends did not co operate and help enforce tho lawas they ought to do. He estimated that he had taketl 10,000 to 20,000 votes from tho Pro hibitionists hy bis light. If they ito not want mo for tho place let these men scratch my name and not vote for mo. TIlO people want to know how many aro so narrow-minded as not to vote for a man who insists on free speech. Ho did not want to open the old sore; ho did not want any feeling, but ho wauled to bo left, alone, but wanted it understood ami published that he was not begging for votes and ho wanted lo see and the people to sec how many men in all Sout h ('andina would vote against him and his record. Ho thou discussed Dr. Gard ner's sermon as usual. Ho addressed the ladies and said the ministers were trying to break up tho only thing that recently has brought any temper ance. Preachers ought lo preach obedi ence lo law. Never do you bear ser mons against blind tigers, 1 'lt it is all against tho dispensary. Ile was willing to measure up in Ibo next world with many of these preachers without, any denominational badge, admitting his weakness, but trying to do bis best. Ile (lum held a hand primary, asking I hose who vol ed to let their consciences go with their hands. Ho wauled an honest vole and ono that meant some thing. About live present voted for pro hibition; about (?0 per cent voted for tho dispensary and about '10 por cent did , not volo at all, but tim majority pres old 'oled for I he dispensary.
