JOHN C SHEPPAID'S e LEAN PO LIT If 8 7
Whcn the Conservative contention tint \
met in March nominated John C. Sbeppard
to head the ticket in the fight for the supre- _
nacy of true Democracy they acted wisely, r
and perhaps better than they themselves knew.
He hoa ]>roved not only a power In
the campaign just cloaod, but he baa taught
bis opponent a Iraeon In fair and clean *
politics.
No administration candt < ?? ??y
in one single instance has cx-Governor
Hheppard misrepresented him iu utiy particular,
or that be hsatpkeu an unfair ad- I
vantage of liiu upon an/ occasioo. Coo
tlderiog lb? vmjiI amount of miirtpriteiitt- c
tion and And unworthy Inucodo that lias
characterised the speeches of some of the I
Tilloianite candidates, this is a nolsble feci.
The Conserrativee have every reason to 1
be proud of the manner in which their
etnndard-bciirer has conducted himself and t
tiioir cause in this trying canvass.
i'rou'i because in his hands their fair i
bauner bas never drooped in (lie dust, but
has ever been held aloft.
1'roud because ho was never once worsted
in Ihe romhst of word*, but proved himself
the superior of one whom some folks claim
to he the shrewdest slump speaker in the
Stale.
Troud because he has represented liiein
worthily and ably in argmneut and in action.
1'roud because ho has proven hi* case and
made a winning light. (
Ity his conduct on Ihe slump (Jovernor
Hhepperd has compelled Ihe admiration and '
respect of his bitterest political opponents, i
Throughout the heat of a lurhulent ciuva-s
lie lies borne himself like a gentleman, like
u patriot, like a man of ability.

he rcplieil:
My IVifii'J, i am prepaid! with hiii|iIc

fact. I luivo faith in the ability of the

ami if we are to win we will -Jo ho on our
met its. I have several kiiuls of arrows in
' my ijuivcr, hut I prefer 11 uho the argument
every time." I
Governor Khcppnril's speeches have been |
one continual couise of arguments. It has
been suiil of him that in arguing a legal
case no man couhl get closer to a jury than '
lie couIt). His course on the stump has
shown that no man ein gel closer to the
people than lie can.
liming the canvass it was a common remark
of Governor Tillman's that his opponents
prenchc'l nothing hut. "Peter's
wife's mother, i. e., that they sang the
same song all the tune. The truth is that
there was a <leal more of "Peter's wife's
mother" in Governor Tillman's sermons
than in ex Governor Nliepputls. I lie hit- ,
tor has proveil himself a man of iimisunl
versatility, ami Irs thirty or moro speeehes
were moilelsof variety. There was scarcely
a speech in which he <li I not iulro<liicc some
naw iilea or mlvuncc an ii<hlitional argumeiii
lor an ohl one. 8oli?lily was one < f the
chief characteristics of his speechc'.
Governor Slieppniil convineeil luv hearers
that lie was a master of repartee, lie ha'l
a great ileal to contoml with in the gibe* ol
some of his 1 illiiiiiuite ninlitor-, ami when
ever they I'lidcnvnrud l<i ridicule li'in I"-' met 1
them with genuine huiior oils sallies that
completely silenced their batteriesol wit.
In cross examining his opponents, or in
being cross-examined hy them. lie showed
mi ability that was reniarkahle. lie w is
placed in inany positions where leas able
men would have been overcome, hut lie invariably
made his opponent s"|Uec/.0 through
the little end of the ltorti. IN lieu congrntulatcd
on one occasion for I lie remarkably
skillful way in which he handled tiovcrnor
Tillman, lie modestly replied that it was
because he had the truth on his side.

yet fairly did lie liold the >ell--auie cha ices
to tlie lips of his opponent that the ti v
