JOHN C SHEPPARD'S CLEAN FOLITIC8 When the Conservative convention that met in March nominated John C. Bbcppard to head the ticket in the fight for the supremacy of true Democracy they noted wisely, and perhaps better than they themselves knew. He has proved not only a power in the campaign just closed, but be has taught bis opponen's a lesson in fair and clean politics. No administration cnudiJnte can say that in on* tntierl* 5n???n,.a !"?? n luaiou W una CA'UVTVrUVr Sheppard misrepresented him iu any particular, or that he h.ts.t?keti an uufair ad- I vantage of ltim upoo any occasion. Considering tha vast amount of misrepresetita- < tion and and unworthy inuendo that has characterized the Bpeeches of some of the Tillmanite candidates, this is a notable feet. The Conservatives have every reason to ] bo proud of the man nor in which their standard-bearer lias conducted himself and i their cause in this trying canvass. Proud because in his hands their fair i bauner has never drooped in the dust, but has ever been held aloft. Proud because ho was never once worsted in the combat of words, but proved bitnself' the superior of one whom some folks claim to be the shrewdest stump speaker iti the State. Proud because he has represented them worthily atitl ably in argument and in notion. Proud because he lias proven his case and made a winning tight. ( Hy his conduct on the stump Governor Sheppard has compelled the admiration and ' respect of his bitterest political opponeuts. Throughout the beat of a turbulent cinva-s he has borne himself like a gentleman, like a patriot, like a man of ability. Governor Sheppard was put forward on a platform of peace and unity, and every speech that he luis made ottes's the fact that he has been true to the principles it enunciated. Once when asked by a 1'iiend why he did not be more aggressive in his speeches. he replied: ' My friend, 1 am prepared with ample material to argue this enst on a basis of fact. 1 liavo faith in the ability of (be I eople to differentiate right from wrong, and if we are to win we will do so on our met its. 1 have several kinds of arrows in ' my quiver, hut I prefer to use the argument every time." Governor Sheppard's speeches have been OI1A rnnlinnal ... ? - * wiii.-v ui arguments. it lias been said of liitn that in arguing a legal ease no man could get closer to a jury than he could. His course on the stutnp hns shown that no man cm get closer to the people than he can. l)uring the cnuvass it was a common remark of Governor Tillman's that his opponents preached nothing hut "Peter's wife's mother," i. e., that they sang the same song all the tune. The truth is that there was n deal more of "Peter's wife's mother" in Governor Tillman's sermons than in ex Governor Sheppnrd's. The latter lias proved himself a man of unusual versatility, and IDs thirty or more speeches were modelsof variety. There was scarcely a speech in which he did not introduce some now idea or advance an additional argument for an old one. Solidity was one cf the chief characteristics of his speeches. Governor Shcppard convinced his hearers that he was a master of repartee, lie had a great deal to contend with in the gift* of some of his Tilluinnito auditors, and i ever they endeavored to ridicule him he met them with genuine huuioous sallies that completely silenced their batteries of wit. In cross-examining liis opponents, or in ~?A v.voc-cuuiiuwt oy tneui. lie showed an ability that wtfcfc remarkable, lie was ,-s - placed in niunvppfittibnii where less.able j jiien would.l.aveiieeD overcome, but lie invariably made lij? opponent squeeze |hrodW , the lttile end ofythe bora.
