MAKING THE MOUNTAINS RING I0HN8T0NE, LATIMER AND HEMPHILL AT THE WALHALLA MEETING. "THE POLITICAL SUMMER S6H00L" WM Brought to a Clots with the Session at Andmon Last Friday. [Charleston News and Courior.] Walhalla, August 29.'-To-day, lu ono of tho quaintest and most anoient old oourt housoa In the Stato, tho throo re-' main'ng mombers of tho faoulty of tho Stato political summor school conducted tho last sosaion but ono of tho school. Their voicos, raised against "commor oinlism," leaped no ross tho oomotory nearby, struck the stone wall of tho Bluo Hidgo about a mile away, to bo sont roll ing from mountain to seashoro through the medium of' tho press. I Ion est, sturdy mountainoors of iutelligonoe woro tho pupils to-day. Tho excess!vo rains had mado tho roads loading to Walhalla dlffioult of passage, but tho farmers woro boro in force. Tho speakers had driven ovor from Sonooa, and thoir olotbing indioated mud sling ing, dospito tho understanding that thom was to bo dono. Tho orowd was a good ono, but not so largo as at othor places. It was orderly and attontivo throughout. Tho pooplo woro oxpeoting MoLuuriu to bo boro, os it had not boon stated that ho would not bo prosont. Tho mooting was presided ovor by Sonntor Alexandor, who called on Hov. J. M. McGuire, who offered au earnest prayer. .Senator Alexander introduced COI.. OKOKOE JOHNSTON*" as the llrst spoakor. Col. Johnstono opened with R fooling roforonoo to tho past, tolling of tho pleasure ho bad ex perienced often in coming boforo thom. Ho thou drifted into tho discussion of tho issn OH in a strong nud foroiblo man ner, presenting tho yiowB expressed olso wboro. Not so long ago tho Stato had ouly tho agricultural industry to roly upon. It was important, thoroforo, to dovolop industrial enterprises. Ho de picted tho conditions thirty yoars ago and said that now South Carolina in tho foremost industrial State. Tho so-called now propositions aro as old as monnrchy itself; as tho rulo of tho privileged classes. Our policies aro only as old ns this sploudid republic. Whence did tiloso propositions como ? no impugned no man, but tho truth must always be told. Many woro honestly entertaining thoso now ideas. Honost error could only bo combated by exposing. And that was what ho was boro to do. Ho wont ovor tho manner iu which ho had arrived nt his own couclusions, os hereto fore presented, and declared that tho now ideas woro thoso of Alexandor Ham ilton and tho party of centralization. Ho proceeded to go ovor his usual argu ment as to expansion, explaining tho expansion of tho Domocratio party under Jefferson's doctriuos, nud showing that tho othor party had dono nothing to add to legitimate victory. Thou ho pointed out at length tho vast differences be tween Domocratio expansion and Re publican imperialism, reciting .tho condi tions existing in Cuba and tho Philip pines. Tho expansion tho Republican party is talking about is tho imperialism that exists in tho mon ar uh ios of tho pro sont day. Ho asked his hearers to burn this through into thoir hoad. He mado his usual illustration of tho Saviour loading an invading army, addressing himself to the minister present. In case of trouble with Russia about an. opon market tho Filipinos would uso our tariff against us. Who over hoard of establishing t rade by making shrouds ? Shrouds aro nil you can sell thom now. Peace is tho ouly truo basis of trade. Wo havo spout $300,000 already to establish trado with tho Philippines and it. will cost us from $10,000 to $00,000 n year, and our trado with thom so far is only $7?,0Q0 n yoar. Ho devoted tho last ton minutes of his timo to his usual arguments on tho ship subsidy problom and concluded his speech with tho stories used yesterday so successfully in Greenville. CONGRESSMAN tiATIMKR opened with a little local mattor ho wished to discuss first, tho rural mail delivery system. Ho did not claim to originate tho plan, but ho had pushed tho idea in Congress, and now tho gov ernment was paying throo million dol lars. Ho had boon asked to withdraw his proposition to provide, an appropria tion. Ho told how ho had gotten it. Tho Postmaster Gonoral had wanted his (Latimcr's) BOU to lay out and tako charge of tho work in this district. Ho had tried to get old soldiers provided with this job, but they woro ruled out on account of ago. John Ii. McLaurin and his backers, who woro running cor tho State selling out for postoflicos, are do laying tho people in gotting thoir rights and tho rural dolivory in tho district. It would como in Octobor. This man Mc Laurin was standing in tho way, trying to got spoolors to whoop and howl for him and help lum to got back to tho Sonnte, mon to help him who aro paid by Mark Hanna's money. Tins man tolls you to go hack on all your country ovor stood for. This man stood by Wm. K Kinley and ho stands by tho Republican party, and'hat party turns ovor to him tho patr mago boro. Ho then ropoated tho history of tho jumping-jack political record of McLaurin. Tins is not tho first timo ho has proved traitor. Ho put bis littlo battery on Paris Mountain and had been firing through that littlo Re publican shoot, tho Grconvillo Nows. Whoa they had startod in after him ho ran away to tho exposition, instead of staying boro and facing tho music. Ho svas like tho follow who said: "John, this hotol is leaking; lot's find anotbor." (Laughter.) Ho's hunting another now. There aro tinco classoB of pooplo Sup? porting McLaurin, tho pup suckers puro and simple, a fow cotton mill presidents who voted for Wm. McKinley, and tho disappointed follows who woro in tho Reform movement and aro soreheads. Congressman Latimor thou wont ovor ids speech olsowhoro ns to tho Now England plan of robbery and said it was strange that any man could think ito could load tho poOplO of tho South into it. McLau rin is not big enough to organize a Re publican party in a singlo township. Ho then proceeded to discuss "this foreign policy business." Ho repeated what 1)0 said at Spartanburg and Oroonvillo about tho cotton mills. Ho was oppo sed to special privileges to any class of mon. Ho dealt at sumo length willi tho favored nation clause in connection with tho Philippines and roforrod to our enor mous expenses in holding tho Philip pines by military power. McLaurin said, with Larry Gantt ropoating it, that if ? i" M'I..I i" - timm . . you add ono inch to the shirt tails of the Chinen? they will UKO all tho cotton goods wo oau mako. Tho only way to got into China is undor treaty, and we can get no advantage there beoauso of the favored nation dunno. Tho only way to' get the trade of China ia to make the kind of goods they want and send agento there. Why ls not MoLaurln here to tell you of any other way? He had found out that they could do without the Alli anoo domands and yet prosper, beoause this oountry is too big. There was noth ing in the New Tostamont teaching that Americans should go to tho Philippines and Chrlsliarizo the people. If it's right, why not bo called to Christianize China? Expansion should bo poaoeable and busl noss-liko. He devoted tho last twenty minutes of bis speech to bis views on tho ship sub sidy. He bold that tho subsidy would build up tho lin?torn porto to tho destruc tion of tho Southern porto. A grand monopoly would bo formed. This waa a Republican measuro of tho rottenest kind and John L. MoLaurin had voted for it. Tho author of thia Commercial Democ racy kuows there is nothing in it. He is posted well "but ho laoks common sense. Ho oau write good articles to tho execu tive committee, and ho don't mind toll lug falsehoods oithor. (Applause.) Ho bad tho opportunity to face us now nud bo bas not dono it. Mr. Latimor dosed with applause " HON. J. J. UKMP1III.I. said tho pooplo hero had always boon solidly Democratic, but Ibero were new issues now to worry thom until explained. Ho told of tho natural expansion of a child and contrasted it witli that of a man sufforlng with dropsy. Tho unnatu ral expansion would sap valuable lifo-80 it was with tho "oxpansiou" of whioh you now hoar. Tho Philippines woro so bot that you havo to lay your hons on cracked ice to koop thom from laying boilod eggs. Mr. Horaphill then ontorod into n plain, olear and foroiblo argumont against tho government's polioy of im perialism. If this is followed wo must shoot Filipinos eternally. Lot tho Filipi nos live in thoir homos with thoir families and with thoir liborty. If wo aro to koop these islands wo havo to shoot tho pooplo or koop a groat army thoro indefinitely. You must pay for this army in an ovor flowing stream of money. Ho told, too, of tho pensions, explaining tho System. Ho doalt for a while with tho trado sido of tho Philippine question. His argumonts woro tho ?arno os at Union, several good stories hoing given by way of illustration. No groator humbug than this imperial ism idea was ovor concootod in this world, ho said. Whoo a man begins to shake off principios and tako on others it is pretty safo to say that bo bas no principio himself. It is doubtful if any nation ovor mado a dollar by colonization, no quoted striking figures as to England and said that moreover tho old countries aro so densely populated that thoir poo plo have to seek homos in other coun tries, whilo wo havo only twouty-ftve pooplo to tho square milo. Wo need population. Tho proposition of tho Re publicans was a vory diff?rent thing-we will havo additional raco troubles. Groat Britain bad had tho Philippines once, but she sold out for loss than wo paid and sailed away. Ho thon dovotod hit attention to tho ship subsidy, using thc arguments previously published. In thc course of his remarks ho said faith wai tho faculty whioh mado aman boliovc what bo know was not so. Ho concluded with somo jokes and anecdotes. Tho audionco to-day was ono of thc most patient and undemonstrative oi this preliminary campaign. Those pro sent listonod most attentively to tho ar gumonto, but it was only onco or twice that thoro was any attempt at real cam paign applause Bach speaker was wol received, porticularly when ho told ; pointed joke Mr. Homphill's "Brothoi Bon" story mado a groat hit. Tho attacl of Mr. Latimor on Senator McLnurii took well. Tho mooting was a calm dis cussion of tiio issues mid tho pooplo ab sorbed ibo thought? presented to them. Tho Bi i io Bidgo road officiais hold tin train n short timo for tho faculty and a 3 o'clock all dopartcd for tho faro wei mooting at Anderson to-morrow, when ttioro will probably bo loss rain and mud and moro pooplo, applause and boat. The Anderson Mooline [Grconvillo Nows.] Anderson, August 30.-Publish it ii Gatli I Proclaim it in Askelon, Col Gcorgo Johnstono, tho past mastor ii tho art of s?tiro and ridiculo and irony was dono up in a knot by Senator Mc Laurin. That's what happoned boro to day, and tho school of summor swallowi aro fluttering around in dismay and con stornntion. Sonator MoLaurlr.'s suddoi and unexpected appearance boro was tin finest coup oxecuted in Stato politics it many a day. Having been informed that tho Till manilo seekers of his Senatorial sea woro making capital out of lils absonc Senator McLaurin determined to bo pren ont at tho Anderson mooting at any cost A tologram caught him just as ho wa leaving Now York by boat for Norfolk and by hiring a special train from Seneca ho arrived boro at two o'clock. Los than ton mon know it, and, althougl very tired with tho journey, whioh ir eluded eighteen hours of sea sickness ho waded into tho crowd with gloves oil stated his case, and won fully seventy ilvo por cont of tho mooting, which wa estimated at from six to seven hundred No special courtesy was shown him, a he was told to open with an hour, to b followed by .Johnstono with tho roply fo McLaurin. In IOBS than twenty minute after iii? arrival ho was speaking. Co! Johnstono was evidently nt his best au mado a splendid speech. Commanding all Iiis power of sarcasr ho tried tn bold op tho Senator aa r. foti runner of Republicanism and nppeale in turn to tho old war spirit of partisan ship and patriotism. Ho was freoly ai plauded, principally by mon who wi voto for Latimor. Ho buried Iiis ol anti-Tillman hatchet, which formorly h had with a koon edgo, and placed Til man along with such statosi ')ii an Ca bonn, 11 ay ne, Hampton and o. a Thouin JeiTorson. His placing of Tillman in til samo nicho of famo as those was receive with groat surpriso by many boro, an Borvos to indicato what Strange bod fo lows politics makes. It rather omphi sizes tho belief that each of tho aspirant for Sonatorial honors is bidding for ti) support of tho Ross. Ho attacked Mi Laurin on his volo on tho treaty, on hi viows on expansion, ship subsidy an Fedoral patronage with all his powor t ridiculo and sarcasm. Replying Senator McLaurin caught til crowd In a minuto by mixing his moi eloquent appeal with an old worn-oi coon story. Turning on .Johnstone Ii scored him unmercifully, refuted h arguments, and in less than ton minute it was a Mci.am in crowd to the flnisl Ho stated his reason for bis vote on tho treaty and tho crowd ondorsed him. Ho told why ho favored expauslon and got another endorsement. Then he told them what ho know of the merits of tho ship subsidy matter, and got another endorsement. In a olear and luoid way ho told them how he came to reoommeod Do moer a ts for Federal .appointment?. He had, he said, recommended Demo crats where they could bo appointed, and, when thore was no chanco for a Democrat, worked for the Republican applicant that would be most acceptable to tho patrons to bo sorved. That also Butted tho orowd aud he got another endorsement. Fully seventy-flvo per cent of tho orowd wore mndo MoLaurln mou. Over half of tho orowd woro farm ors and wont away outhusiastio follow ers of MoLaurin. Tho orushing machino found its fatal dofoat hore to-day. Mo Laurin got in on tho boys and tho orowd which resolved at Greonvillo that they had fully crushed tho Senator, And thorn solves completely busted at their own game. Politicians here a^roo that neither Johnstone nor Homphill have a ghost of a ohanoo, and that tho raoo is between MoLaurln and Latimer, with tho full Tillman brand on tho latter; and that all tho playing of tho others for this is futile. Thoro woro no porsonalitios between Johnstone and MoLaurin, and while tho debate wan keon aud most moroiloss, it was on a high plano. It was a battlo of masters and tho koon bursts of s?tiro and ridiculo was ono of tho finest exhi bitions evor witnessed in many days on tho stump of this State. MoLaurin par ried evory. tin ost of his opponent and turned his koon blado without morey on his antagonist. Whon it was all ovor ovorybody was dazed and wondered how lt li appen cd, even .lob ns tono, who took it good naturedly, was lost. Latimor aud his vituperation was completely lost sight of, as ho spoke vory carly this morning boforo tho arrival of Senator MoLaurin. Latlmor's speech was along tho Uno of his previous efforts, but in a muoh milder form. Senator MoLaurin simply ignored his childishness, and his course was commended. Tho crowd horo was strictly a homo orowd. Inquiry shows ono mau from Oconeo and Spar tauburg aud throe from Greenville, in cluding this correspondent. This state ment is mndo because it is rumored boro to-night tl t nu attempt was mado to discount tho groat victory for MoLaurin hero to-day by saying that a MoLaurin crowd was brought hore. This is abso lutely untrue. This is a McLaurlu town to-night, and the city baud boro sere naded 1dm. Ho mado a uioo speech in response to tho call. After the Speaking. [Andorson Daily Mail, Soptombor 1.1 Tho priuoipal topic of Conversation yesterday was tho political speeches of tho day boforo. Wherever two or throo ovon would congregate tho incidents of tho day would bo told and rotold, aud OVery foaturo of tho occasion would bo disoiiBSod. Senator MoLaurin's coming was unex pected, and tho results of tho moot ing woro totally unexpected. It was gonorally thought that tho mooting would bo a one sided adair-that is, that all tho speakers would havo a common purpose to jump on MoLaurin and his principios mid stem whatovor tido, if any, that might bo llowing his way. But MoLau rin carno himself aud that changed tho whole calculation. All of tho politicians, and ovorybody olso for that mattor, aro figuring on what tho result will ho. It is concodod, ovon by those who aro most opposod to Sena tor MoLaurin, that tho McLaurlu senti ment, is a groat doal stronger in this county than it was boforo tho mooting was hold. Tho high tono upon which tho speeches wore pitched and tho marked absence of Personalities and vituperation, in tho mooting, was muoh commented upon, and was a source of much gratification. Tho speakers of Friday proved that a political speech can bo mado interesting and ovon exciting by legitimate dobato, and that porsonal abuso aud mud-sling ing aro not necessary to arouse interest. Tho dobato on tho ship subsidy bill, to which MoLaurin challenged Col. John stone and which Col. dohnstone accepted, was much talked of yestorday and much interest is felt in it. Tho dobato will draw an immonso crowd, and fur thor in formation regarding it will be awaited with keon interest. Tho dobato will havo to bo hold in tho opon air, os thoro is no building in Andorson that will hold tho crowd that will bo prosont to hoar it.

Cleveland, Ohio, September 1.-With the breaking of dawn thia 'morning the oltlceoB of Cleveland awoko to look upon a scene of unparalleled devastation and destruction causod by a raging flood. While tho entire olty was moro or less affooted, the great volume of raging water vented Its anger over miles of tho eastern portion of the oity and caused an amount of damago approximated at $1,000,000. The appalling ovorflow was caused by a terrille rain that oommonood to fal) shortly after 2 o'olook. It turuod into a porfoot oloudburst betwoon the hours of 8 and B, and then continued with groat force until nearly 10 o'olook. Tho storm, according to tho woathor offloials, was the h oa vi os t that has ovor swept o vor Cleveland since the ostablishmont of tho government buroau in this oity, ovor forty years ago. That no lives wero lost is nothing short of A mirado, as ?torios of thrilling es oapos from tho water on several of the principal rosidonoo stroots aro told. Tho surging wntors sproad ovor au aroa in tho east end uoarly eight milos long and a milo and half wide. Croat volumes of water poured ovor I from Qiddings and Donn brooks, down Quincy shoot, swamped Vienna, street, rushed over Codar avonuo, back ovor on Bast Prospoot stroot, rushod Uko a mill raco down Lincoln avonuo to Euclid avo nuo, and then on to Glon Park plaoo, where houses woro undermined as though built of straw and almost incredi ble damago was done to stroots and property. Ovor a largo share of this oxclusivo residence lorri tory tho water rushod with terrille force, varying iu depth from ono to six foot. (Julverts, trostlos and bridges woro torn down, and for hours nothing seem od capable of stein ming tho tido of rain. 11 u n dr cd H of res i den Ls, who were im prisoned in thoir beautiful homes liko stranded islanders, woro almost panic B tr i ck on, ex pooling to bo called upon to wade out into tho swirling wntors at al most every minuto. Dangor signals wore flashed about tho oity as speedily as tho disabled telephone system woula allow, and tho work of roBCUO was commenced. Row boats wont back and forth assisting wholo families from perilous positions, but these provod pitifully inadequate, and it was soon found necessary to go to tho extraordinary procautiou of calling on tho life saving orow from tho rivor, a distance of seven miles. Tho lifo boats woro quiokly loaded on wagons and hurriod to tho scone of de struction. Tho torrout surged with awful forco for hours in Dooring stroot from Fairmount to tho lloulovard, and over a dozen families woro penned in liko rats in a trap, with wator fivo and six foot deop surrounding their homos. At this fioint tho lifo-savlng orow worked vnl ontly, and assisted by squads of Aromen and pol icemen, finally sn ceo ed ed in-land ing tho terror-stricken people in places Of safety. Tho fear was greatly enhanced by tho momentary expectation that tho great .Shaker Heights dam would broak looso aud sond forth torribio destruction. Gordon and Wado parks, ou tho east sido, and Brookside Park, on tho south sido, where tho water also did groat damago as it leaped ovor tho bauks of Rig Crook, aro damaged to au amount figured at $100,000. Through Glouvillo tho ovorllow was terribly destructive. Many houses aro swamped, culverts torn out and several stroots turned into seething quagmires. Tho loss in tho villago is also estimated at $100,000. Tho stroot railways will suffer an im mense loss, extending in various degrees over ovory portion of tho city. Tho Rig Consolidated will havo to rebuild thoir tracks ovor di fieront parts of tho inun dated onst end districts aud tho loss ia estimated at $50,000. The Superior street trestle of tho Little Consolidated is prac tically ruinod, and this, with other seri ous damage in tho lines of tho company extending way over on tho wost sido, will run their loss into tho thousands. Tho train sorvico on all roads was blockod from two to six hours. Ehart stroot, a short thoroughfare be tween Holton avonua*and Oakdalo streot, was practically washed off tho map of Clovoland.
