THE CAMPAIGN MEETING. The Senatorial and Congressional candidates' meeting was held here yesterday. The candidates for Sen ate spoke at the grove of the Patrick Military Institute in the morning, and the candidates for the lower House of Congress spoke in the Court-room in the afternoon. At the morning meet ing there were present about MO peo ple, and about 400 at the afternoon meeting. It was so arranged at the morning meeting that Messrs. Latimer and Evans spoke last, and up to that point the meeting was without any incident of interest. At the close of Mr. Lati mer's address Mr. Evans, from the start, began to handle Mr. Lalimor's record with the gloves off, and soon had Latimer to his feet making de nials. A ripple of ezciiemeui ran over the audience, which increased to the point where there were hurrahs for Latimer and counter hurrahs for Evans and a pretty general moving up to the stand. The question was the distribution of f.ee passes by Latimer. The remarks of Evans were full of withering sarcasm, but Latimer held his own well. He exhibited pome confusion, but the acclaim of bis fol lowers in the audience soon brought him round alright. The first address was by Hon. George Johnstone, and it was decidedly the best address delivered. His principal theme wac government by the people as against paternal government, and his remarks on this subject were broad, learned and eloquent. He spoke of the great und varied indus tries of this country, and the necessi ty of electing a mou broad enough to aid in placing his party on that high plane which protects and fosters all without favoritism to any. Mr. Henderson followed, referring to the war of 1SG1-G5 as being fought to the finish and ended, but called atten tion to the industrial war which has been in progress since 1S0">, exhibiting itself specially in the iniquitous tariff law of the Republican party, which protects the interest of the East to the detriment of the industries of the South. He touched upon the Philip pine question, condemning the Repub lican policies there, which are actuated - by politics only. Hon. J. J. Hemphill spoke next. He made an excellent address, illus trating the protective tariff in its operation as a tax upon the people, referred to his record in Congress, told a few pleasing anecdotes and drew considerable applause. Hon. William Elliott was the next speaker. He deprecated the cry that the Demoeratic party was down in the dust?their opportunities for victory were never greater since they came out of power nix years ago. He related how the Democratic minority in Con gress had so often defeated the Re publicans in important measures that it Was now no longer exciting to defeat them. He referred to the services he had reudered in Congress, in the civil war, and later in the State in estab lishing white supremacy. He plainly showed that he had never turned loose any work for the good of the people he had undertaken until it was finish ed, and thought what he had accom plished entitled him to the position of Senator. And, indeed, few men could have accomplished what I*?ir. Elliott did in Beaufort, the very centr? of the black district, and that almost single-handed. Hon. A. C. Latimer next addressed the audience. He led off with a criticism of Mr. Henderson's remarks on the protective tariff, endeavoring to show how futile it is and what a waste of time to attempt the discus sion of the protective tariff, as the Republicans are in power and ad dresses would be to empty seats. That practical business sense should obtain among Congressmen, as in all business, and that got which could be got?ap propriations to the agricultural de partment for bulletins for distribution, garden and feed seed and appropria tions for buildings. His speech was devoted principally to the defence of "charges" against him and in antici pating remarks of Mr. Evans who was to follow him. It cannot be said that Mr. Latimer made a fine speech, the opportunity and lack of time were doubtless wanting. Hon. John Gary Evans followed next. Mr. Latimer had remarked that he was the only farmer running against five lawyers. Evans led off by char acterizing this claim as the "baby act," and his mimicing ridicule con vulsed the audience with laughter. Mr. Latimer took on ^.ho colors of a boiling lobster, aud when Evans, with withering sarcasm, referred to his use and d/stnbutron of free passes, seed di?jtribution and the putting his son in office, Mr. Latimer sprang to his foot, denied the free pass <ii> tribution and demanded the proof. Kvans replied that he had a letter in his pocket from a gentleman offering to make affidavit that passes had been given by Latiiner, but the letter was not produced. There were cries for Latimer and counter cries for Evan?, with occasional flings from the audi? ence at both. Continui?g Mr. Evans said men should be elected who could stand up and fight the Republicans for the rights of democrats, and not play the "baby act" before the brains of the nation in Washington. A more patient aud respectful crowd never assembled in Anderson to listen to campaign addresses. ?Evcry candi date was listened to attenively and every one of them were applauded. Ail the candidatss had warm friends in the audience, but Mr. Latimer ap peared to have the maiority of ibern. He was warmly applauded aud re ceived aiauy beautiful flowers. THE AFTERNOON MEETING. Notwithstanding the oppressive heat the interest in the campaign meeting abated but little in the after noon. There were at leaBt 400 pres ent in the court room. Addresses wers delivered by W. J. Stribling, K. F. Smith, Wyatt Aiken, I. H. McCal la, Oeo. E. Prince, K. M. Rueker, Jr., in he order named. We have not the space this week to report the speeches. There were no issues under discussion. Every one of the candidates stands on the same Democratic platform and the only question involved is qualification. All the addresses were good aud delivered in that fairness and manly style char acteristic of each of the candidates. Lowndestille Items. Rev. I. E.
