He said he was going 10 heat him, but he was not such a fool as to bet on an election in violation of the laws of the Slate, lie repeated the views on State issues expressed by him at previous meetings. He reiterated his well known position on the liquor question, and said that (Jovernor Ansel was anything to ??aTeh the popular vote. In fact he understood that a Greenville paper had once offered a reward to any man who could tell where I lie governor stood on any publie question.
