and corrupt man to the bench! Who
believes it? I dare say, that not a
man among you,. believes that Judge
J. F. Izlar is such a man! No! not
One of you. 11ings and bossism they
cry. 1f we had a ring to keep men
in office wottild not that ring turn out
in force in this fight? They woild
go in solid phialanx to defend them
selves. Talk about rings and bosses!
Did you ever know of a more dog

this Tillman movement, resistance to
which Means political (eath- Where
is this much-talked of aristocracy?
There is only the aristocracy of merit
in this State. How rnuch longer will
a free people allow this insult to be
hurled in their faces? Honesty and
integrity make the man.. Every white
man in this State has an equal' show
with his fellow citizens- Tie charge
that the Lieu tenant-Governor'i salary
was cut down because he was an up
country man is unworthy of this canm
paign. Gen. Ecarle still says that
the railroads should pay taxes equal
with the people. They clamor for
the majority'rule. The board was
three to Earle's one. Then it is not
Earle's fault, that the railroads have
not a higher assessmncnt. I am one
of the accuse1. The State officers
are not responsible for for what the
Legislature does for the State house
or the Governor's mansion, or the ap
propriations it mekes. The other
side aisks are you prosperous? I an
swer that we are. Take our whole
State, town and cities are on a boom.
Why? Because the farmers are pros
perous and making onvey, anil the
whole enuntry shows, it in better
farms and finer homes. They raise
a howl about those "University boys."
Those boys are the sons of farmers,
and do you believe that they ,vould
act all so? No, of course not)1; but,
there are bad boy: at all culleges,
as many of you know, and you must
not Iw l tile whole school to acc!ount,
for what a few hot-headed, bad class
iateti nav do. Wllunl Cletsi cll ol.
