SENATORIAL CAMPAIGN MEETING. t The aspirants for Senatorial c honors arrived in Manning Wed- C nesday night and were accom panied by Congressman George S. Legare, Solicitor J. B. Mc- a Laughlin, Messrs. P. H. St11 of t Kingstree and A. B. Stuckey of 2 Sumter, the three last named e are candidates for the office of Solicitor. Congressman Legare i has no opposition, but came to t Manning to say hello to the boys. ] The political party seemed to be c getting along well with each a other, but then the game is yet 1 young and there is no'telling how long they will be agreeable with i each other. Politicians are curious "creeters." they study a the art of acting, and in a com munity where they feel the peo ple will not take kindly to bull ragging, they are as polite to s one another as My . Dear Al- 1 phonse and My Dear Gaston, but let them see signs of making a 1 "hit" by besmirching an oppo- 1 nent, and every trick of the dem agogue will be resorted to, ap pealing to the baser prejudices of man is their long suit, deceiv- i ing their hearers by placing a I false construction upon an op ponents attitude is another one < of their schemes. At the meet- a ing here Thursday, one of the Senatorial candidates took issue I with an opponent's views on a banking, and he worked himself < up into a white heat in trying to t make the voters believe that his s opponents banking -deas if put 1 into effect would place the yoke a of slavery upon the necks of the "wool hat boys" and, with great I streams of, not tears, but per- t spiration running down his s face. he gripped the coat-tail of Ben Tillman, and reminded x his hearers that when he was1 Tillman's lieutenant and was making the fight for their politi cal freedom, he was denounced1 as a populist. He laid greati stress on the days of 1890 and his affection for Tillman, but he 1 forgot to say that Tillman had been fighting for several months< with Evans opposed to him, and I - not until the battle was about won, or rather so nearly won that everybody conceded it, be fore Mr. Evans saw the light, and when he did he jumped into the band wagon, and took a front seat. 1890 has been a long time ago and it is but natural that some things are forgotten. Therei are many things which should 1 be buried in oblivion, then thereI are others that will bob up, they] will not down. For instance when a man becomes a candidate and goes to claiming what he I and Tillman did, when every body knows "he and Tillman" 1 did nothing of the sort. There was no "he and-Tillman," it was 1 Tillman alright, but the other fellows of the Evans stamp were] the after results, like the smell] of gasoline from a passing auto-< mobile. The meeting was opened Thursday by prayer from Rev. A. R. Woodson. Then Chair- 1 man Richbourg introduced as the 1 first speaker Col. George John- 1 stone of Newberry. This gen- - tieman is a man of distinguished appearance, and had on this oc casion a quiet, dignified de-) meanor. He discussed the various subjects of national in " terest, currency. tariff, tax. His< speech was well received. and< we have no doubt that the good< impression he made will win him i some votes. The next speaker was Col. W.J W. Lumpkin, who has a style of eagle screaming oratory which is well suited for fourth of July< -celebrations and sich iike things. 1 He spoke most glowingly andi flowery of the old soldiers, and 1 paid a pretty tribute to woman, these pretty flights must be heir-looms with him, as he 1 brings them forward on all oc-i casions, we have heard the same thing from him, once in Colum bia, then at Beulah, and lastly at the laying of the corner-stone< in Sumter--the same beautifuli flights, in the same words. He] made a ten strike with some by . his advocacy of prohibition, this too was delivered in a school ree- 1 itation manner, with an attempt I at exhortation, evangelist style.< Superintendent Martin. was 1 not his best here we have heard 1 him make a better speech. He ] some how could not get himself I together, even his jokes weret not as snappy as of yore. it was suggested, he was out of hisi class, may be so. Like all of the candidates he was opposed to an unrestricted class of immi grants: revenue and currency legislation depended upon the complexion of Congress, and the people needed a live wide awake Senator to guard their interests, and lhe ivas that man. He spoke of his work for the schools. and told some jokes. Hon. R. Goodwyn Rhett of I Charleston, began his speech wihan utternnce that must1] ave commended itself to all. t le was a candidate for the Son to. not upon the demerits of thers. but upon his own merits, 1 hat he believe there was not o nough business, and too much n >olitics in our governmental h Mices. During the- past forty n ears, the South has through j ter representatives busied her- e elf with trying to tear down 1 he tenets of the Republican b >arty, and has not given enough p ttention to the effort of build- o tg up. He did not believe in p earing down the other fellow. e ut rather build up with him and t long side of him. and prosper a c ith him. He handled the cur- c ency question in a masterly 1 ray, like a man who had studied f, nance'and commerce, and knew b chat he was taking about. Mr. N thett's financial views differ s rom those of politicians, in, y hat he shows the defect and d Ffers a practical remedy the C ithers do not. We must con- o ess, we are impressed with his } >anking idea, and if the govern- s ent would recognize his plan, a ,nd enact laws that would give e he banks the right to issue cur- a ency, restricted and safe-guard- j< d as Mr. Rhett suggests, there t: ould be no more panics, and t he farmers of the South would I >e greatly benefitted. Mr. r hett certainly had a plan to 11 ffer, which is rather unusual o among men seeking public office, y hey usually are oppressed, and t row red in the face in denounc- n ng the oppressor, frequently t )ut up an imaginary Morgan, t nd proceed to demolish the r nonster with hot air, but in Mr. r hett's case it is different, he e roes at the people with a t traight forward proposition of v )usiness, and reasons out his I iews. Mr. Rhett will be a fac- e or in this race, his manner was t hat of a man who realized the n ravity of business responsib. i ty, and its relation to the wel- s are of the country at large. He t s no litttle man. He is a man, c )road, liberal, studious. There e vas no attempt on his part to a lisparage any of his opponents s ,nd he made votes in this county. e When Hon. E. D. Smith rose, c ie was greeted with applause, r ,nd following Mr. Rhett he at v nce took up what he designa- t ed as fine-spun theories, and t aid if a principle would rob the a )eople of the north, it would h so rob the people of the South. I 'Smallpox does not become itch b >y a change of location." He n hen proceeded to pay his re- c pects to the banks, and told - chat part they played in the la anic, illustrating with some ointed anecdotes. In his ref- c rence to banks he meant the treat national banks, and not a he local State banks. Mr. Smith o -equested us to state, it was his I ntention to pay a just tribute to r he country banks, because it v vas they that came to the rescue r >f the farmer and saved him r rom annihilation. He inadvert- C tly left out these banks to ihom the farmers owe a debt of t ~ratitude they should never for et. His grievance was against the s >anks at the money center-New~ a cork. that brought on this ar iicial panic, and when the o noney was all locked up, and nterest for short loans ran a igh, our Southern national t >anks, and he intimated Mr. t, hett's bank is of this class, y hipped their money to New f cork to take advantage of the o lgh rate, and thus forced our 6 >eople in an embarassing posi ion, made money scarce here, ,j md frequently made them sell y heir cotton at a sacrifice. He t poke of his efforts in the peo- s le's behalf, and made telling j oints all through his eloquent ~ iscourse. He touched on the a :urrency and tariff, but he said c vhat was needed, is to have a s -epresentative on the. floor of he Senate who would devote his y alents towards trying to have a he government recognize cotton t -the staple in which we have a e nonopoly, used all over the j rorld, indispensible, and non- r >ershable, as a collateral, the s ame as bonds, arnd when that is one the farmer of the South the a ~otton grower ot the South will y ome into his own-Indepen- v ence. Mr. Smith made a very 1, ie speech, eloquent and full of d ~rgument. He was easily the avorite of the audience, com osed of about 330 and repre - enting ev-ery section of the 1 ounty. When his time was up, ie was not through, a-nd Colonel g' ohnstone, offered to allow him et o go on and give back the time t some other place, but Smith tg aid it would be unfair to take it hat advantage, as he was at $, rome here. When he Einisheet he' B i-as given a bouquet of flowers. o Ex-Governor John Gary Evans cas the last of the Senatorial :andidates to speak, and he im nediately claimed to have, like dr. Smith. been fighting for the F: armers. He denotmeced corpor tions, and represented them to E >e heinous, but not one word did (' le say of his connection with oneC f, if not the greatest corpora- . ion in the world, The Western ~ nion Telegraph Company. Mr. it vans is the r-epresentative of e hat concern in this State, and if 9 here is a more arbitr-ary corpor- is .tion, one that is more noted forE ts disregard of the people's' ights, it has not as yet been r mearthed, unless possibly the e rang who through their agents potted about in the little towns ~andle the farmers cotton. G-ov- b rnor Evans is an old politic-an, splendid actor, knows how to atch the boys. He said he tood where he stood in 1800 and 92 when be and TIillmnan re eased the people from plitical >ondage, and then he w.a iounced as an Anarchist ana * iat it was Evans when oppos ig Latimer, claimed that Lati ior was a Populist for advocat g Alliance principles. It was ews to us that Mr. Evans was n the same platform with Lati ler. We thought he fought im, and that bitterly, but Lati ier won. Mr. Evans jumped on Ir. Rhett's banking views, call l it republicanism, and that if hett's views were democratic, e wanted to be read out of the arty, as he. Evans was no Dern erat. He denounced Roosevelt. raized Bryan, and promised if lected. not to "kiss the hand .at smites" him, but to fight. nd, acting his part, he would ss the other fellow and do and that he would take his )ot off his neck. He would not e like Mr. Rhett concilliate ith those "yankees" to - get :me sop for his people, but he -ould force, by fighting, their emands. All the way through overnor Evans' speech it say red of the days of factionalism. [e did not cone right out and y boys remember I am a Till ianite, but his frequent refer i'.e to "when I and Tillman," nd to "wool hat boys" was a lting reminder to remember ie days of the past. We lis ?ned carefully to Governor van's speech. we have always ecognized him as a man of abil v. and a fine speaker, but if he ifered any plan by which he as going to do something for Le people at Washington it did ot reach the writer. His en re remarks can be summed up hus: He is a candidate for the enate, everything his oppo ents. especially Mr. Rhett ffers, is no good. He deserves be elected because of his ser ices 's an emancipator "when and Tillman" were running for trice. It was Betsy and I killed he ba'ar, in his allusions to Till ian. He wived the factional ag ingeniously, only enough to ee if it would take, denounced Le banks, and corporations, but ifered no remedy. He denounc d the Republican party good nd strong, and figuratively peaking, he was armed and quipped to go into the Senate hamber, to throw all of those ean Republicans out of the rindow, take a crow bar burst, he treasury doors and invite he "wool hat boys" to step in nd help themselves. It was ot air, and demogogy. When vans was denouncing the yan ees so fiercely, some one re iarked "that's strange, he re, ently married a yankee lady, hat makes him abuse the yan :ees so?" The answer came romptly "that is his* reason for ussing 'em so." The crowd held on and rei iaied throughout the speeches f the Solicitors. Congressman egare was introduced and he ade his acknowledgements, and ery feelingly thanked the peo le of Clarendon for their good ess to him to continue him in ongress so long without oppo ition, and that it would always e his pleasure to serve his peo le, any time they thought his ervices were needed they were t their disposal. It is. said he. 'for you to command, and I will bey." Mr. A. B. Stuckey of Sumter ddressed the people is his own half as a candidate for Solici >r. He made a good speech, in hich he spoke of the necessity :r law and order and then told f his having been Mayor of umter two terms. He was followed by Solicitor .B. McLoughlin, of Bishop. ille, the inan appointed to :>fill the unexpired term of licitor on this circuit, and who as made good, having convicted ~retty much everything he has one up against, and would have onv-icted the judge. had he been ome other than Judge Wilson. Hon. P. H. Stoll of Kingstree, as the last speaker. He too is candidate for Solicitor. He ought Williamsburg was now ntited to consideration as it as not had a State oftice in any years. He made a nice peech and was well received. The meeting was very har ionious, candidates and people rere glad to see each other, and hile we believe Smith is in the ad in Clarendon, all of the can idates will be voted for. $100 Reward, $100.
