Since the Denver convention candidates John Gary Evans, and John P. Grace, should apol ogize for charging that Candi date R. Goodwyn Rhett's cur rency and.banking views are re publicanism,. they should have the manliness to acknowledge that they were either endeavor ing to deceive the masses, or in their ignorance, knew not what they were talking about. The National Democratic platform is in thorough accord with Mr. -Rhett's banking and currency ideas, and to continue to charge him with republicanism will be resented as an affront to the in telligence of the people. We are not espousing Mr. Rhett's cause, but we are opposed to deception to win votes. The insurance department created by the last legislature, which is being so severely criti cised by Candidate Blease, is in our judgment, a wise protection against fake insurance com panies doing business in this State, and the wisdom of the office has been demonstrated by forcing these fake concerns out of business. The 'license fees from the legitimate companies so far collected is more than double the cost of maintaining the State's insurance department, therefore instead of the office being a burden to the taxpayers, it is a protection and puttmng money into the treasury, which did not go there before the office was created and wildcat in surance had a free field. The campaign song of the Democratic party entitled "What the hell do we care"~ will not gather enthusiasm in the puri tanical East, but on the frontier reckless West the profane shib boleth may prove a fetching campaign slogan. In .1896 Sen ator Tillman went out in search for a "Light in the West," at the time, he failed to find it, bat with a steady persistency he continued his political teachings in that section of the Union, and we have no doubt but the lead ers of the Democracy had this in view when they selected two Westerners to carry the stand ard of the party. An alliance of the South and the West has long been the hope of our politi cal leaders; with 'i certain solid South, and Bryan and Kern to build a solid West that "light" so earnestly sought for by Till man may have been found. The contentions in Democratic ranks are settled, the command was given out at Denver to "Fall in" and every Democrat. regardless of his individual views must obey. Bryan and Kern are now in command of the Democratic phalanx which must. to win, march forward with steady tread. The question of whether or not Bryan can wini must not be longer asked. Every Democrat must fight with contii dence in his leaders and the cause. Kern is from Indiana, a State normally Republican but it was carried for democracy twice by Cleveland, the first time with Hendricks an Indiana man on the ticket, now that another Indiana man is honored with leadership there should be a rep etition of what Hendricks did. The National Democratic Con vention was a demonstrati te body, cheering Bryan's name with a record breaker for length of time, and every one of the leaders since adjournment arc enthusiastic in their confidence of a victory at the polls in Nov ember. Bryan of Nebraska, Kern of Indiana. Western comn bination. The solid South a certainty, and a tidal wave in the West spells a Democratic triumph. So mote it be. sTA'TE OF OHIO. Cit oF TOLEDo.'

The State campaigners gave a per formance here last Wedne.day to an :uidience? of about 40O, a larger crowd than was exoected considering the busy time with the farmers. but it was a fairly repihesntativce crowcd: voter WC, .ere fr'rom every seCtiOa. and every man who had an1y political asi rations was on the spot and very Imue in evidence. County Chariuan Richbo'urg called the meeting to order and 1lev. D. :.. Phillips opened the proceelin'rs w: h prayer. \1r. S. 11. Mellic'hlam p oif orang'luinr, . candidate for State Sit lherintendeint. of Education. was the first speaker. lit is a handsome old gentiemaLn and talked like a man in close touch with thin educational, having been connected with the departmLlen1t of educat:on' in l home county for many years. His ex-t perience as an educator and as a .ount superintendent gives him a decided it ness for the office he se~eks. ile devoted the greater part of his limited speech to discussing our educational system. Mr. J. E. Swearinzen came next. He is the celebrated blind man who out stripped his classmates at the Southh Carolina College for the first honor,and ti won this prize m one of the largest1 rh) classes ever graduated from that Iansti tution. In our judgment M1r. Swear ingen is the most intellectual m:m in the entire outfit of candidates. Ile is a C( wonder. Although bereft of sight he ll has by indomitable will power fought his way through college.and has always ra been independent of aid from familyin connections. He is a nephew of Sena. i tor' Tillman and looks more like -isr distinguished uncle than any child Till- Co man has: not only so, he has that same dogged perserving spirit, characteristic fai of "Old Ben," with the addition of ra having had better educational advan- to tages. His college-mates claim that "he can see more with his fingers than trc most men can with their eyes." He nm does his own correspondence. with jo typewriter and with pen. and there is tol no better mathamatician in the State rai than he Mr. Swearingen, ever since m' his graduation has been a most sue- an cessful teacher. He is devoting his tei life to the cause of education. He in spoke of the edt.cational system of fo South Carolina, compared it with other the States, the needs of its fostering care, ea where it can be improved, how the ise tree of education is taking root in the m various communities of the State. what ti it is doing here, and how its beneficient branches is spreading and providing a m< restful haven for an advancing civiliza sli tion. He did not indulge in pyrotech- fo nics, but gave to his audience a strong ?J presentation of his views on education, Hi and we have no doubt convinced his an hearers of his qualifications for the a high position of State Superintendent in of Education. The last candidate for Superitendent tic was Mr. Elmore of Spartanburg. He tic also spoke along educational lines, and ap while he made a pleasing speech ve eh coula not see where he made much - or ^o any impression. Fi Then came the candidates for Adju- lei tant and Inspector General. Col. Henry st T. Thompson opened his remarks by to referring to his association with the soldiers from Clarendon who went into di the Spanish-American war, they knew m him and could testify as to his soldiery w< qualities, and his fitness, mentally and co morally for the head of the military w branch of our State government. He mi then gave a brief account of his career. an He has always been-a military man, a ag teacher in the Citadel academy, cap- wl tain of companies, major and then col- tit onel of a regiment, and was appointed er to a captaincy in the regular United to States army, but after a short service G< was forced to resign for domettic rea- asx sons. He was captamn of the Darling- th ton Guards at the time of the deplora- fal ble riot, and when other companies in threw down their guns, and refused to pr obey the orders of Governor Tillman. wt Thmpson not only obeyed the orders th and remained on active duty for sev- tu eral days, guarding and protecting con- in stables and such other service as he was directed. but he did this over the tit protest of the citizens who were his ge relatives and friends-He was a sol dier, and his duty was to obey the or- s ders of his superior. Colonel Thomp- bo son for his devotion to duty was spec- cc iallv thanked and complimented by pe His Excellency B. R. Tillman Gov- in ernor, and was also congratulated and at complimented by Adjutant and In- to spector General Iumh L. Farley. Col. oli Thompson is a beautiful speaker and if pr elected he will add much to the ethi- su cieney of the militia of the State. of Gen. J C. Boyd came next, whose ga claim for re-election is based upon cil what he says is an attention to the nc duties of the office, and of having I brought the office into a high state of ne proficiency as testified to by the reso- Pi lutions of commendation adopted by in the oflicers of the National guard. He in was several times interruoted by a to man in the crowd, which threw the lic old general off of his feet and made m him lose the thread of his speech. The in general evidently wants to be retained 11i in the office, and he put up the best a plea he could for retention. c The numerous candidates for railroad.t. commissioner were next called with of Banks L. Caughman to the bat. He th started out by explaining how it was ax that he got balled up in the ushoo-fl"~ si train transaction, and why it was they fr called him "a liar." it seems that 31r. Ot Caughman in his zeal to please two ti contending sides in the matter of put- 10 ting on the train now plying between tl Orangeburg and Florence, made some o~ promises that he could not carry out, t' and when pushed into a corner he un-w dertook to place the responsibilit.y .on " the other commissioners, but they pr would not confirm his statement, and m left him up in the air, and for the peo- wv pie to say whether or not Caughman B "lied," and if he did, was there any m corruption connected with the trans- m action as is intimated. His claim for of re-election is based largely upon his b authorship of the "Jim Crow" Act, ti which separates the races on the rail- de road trains. It was this same act that di gave him his boost six years ago and th landed him into the commissioners gc office. He defended his administra.. t tion, claimed all the good things done ca by the commission, and put the bad mn things on the other commissioners. If mi Caughman is re elected he wvill break ax the record as no man after serving the a term of six years has ever been rc- H elected to that ofice. Garris could no; m~ make it, and he was conceded to lie the th best commissioner the State has ever' St F. C. Fishburne came next, and after ui giving a sk etch of his career, he said w he had never before offered for a State we office. He was a farmer and a business pr man. He alluded to his service in 18763 p1 when he and his brother did heroic by service in Colleton when it took men to fo tand up against the black hordes in an the battle for white supremacy. The board of commissioners are now all w: located in the upper part of the State. in Caughman in Richland. Sullivan in Anderson and Earle in Greenville, and am ommon justice should entitle the he lower tier of counties to a representa- w: tive on that board. HeI urged his eec- wi tion as a business man of large expei'- mt icnce, having been in close touch with in the traffic departments of the rail- wi roads, and made them return to him te thousands of dollars in overcharges. ni He has been a student of freight r'ates th and schedules from necessity, and im athough never an employee of a rail- ge road, is as conversant with its manage- fas met as its employees. Why said he, in I have paid more mo'ney to the r'ai!- th: roads for frieght tha~n Ca.ugrhmian ever w< saw paid' wihichl inaJ him in elf de- al fnse study rates . ictions and ne schedules.' He promi:.eif tlected, not gc to put himself under 0om tionUs to the fe railroads by riding orv~ couxntrv I: with the otticers. wineing anmI private cars, driunin their wun and smoking their i.:- ci's etc. ast Convalescents need a b !nent in easily digested i Scotts Emnrdsi; '.ent-highly concentral it makes bone, blood putting any tax on the A LL DRUGGISTS: 5 ors which n.irht be construed as ing him under obligations. I-e uld do all in his power to be just to roads,. for it is nonsense to cripple railroads, but at the same time, he uld see to it that they complied with law, and had regard for the peo s rights. He then discussed the Iter of mileage books and promisea correct the inconvenience. :o1. H. W. Richardson of Barnwell m came to the bat. He also had a o rd made in 1S76, my: what would politicians do if they did not have ear. or 1S7i record? He related the rv of when in 1876 he armed and aiped a company, and did service at enton and Hamburg in the stormy s. He had practical experience in road constrtction, had done grad ;, aid crossties, built bridges and t down rails upon more than one .road. He too was a farmer. but he ld figure out the cost of constructing 1 maintaining a railroad and if he led he would withdraw from the :e. He challenged his competitors :he test. Nr. .1. A. Summersett was then in >duced, and after paying his compli mts to the people, by expressing his and felicitations at being here, he d them of his having a practical lroad experience of 27 years. com meing from section hand at $S per d ratious. and ending with superin ident. He knew all about railroad ;, it was his long suit, and was there *e in position to do the people and e railroads ;tice. He made au rnest plea, :'election and his prom s eC -. his earnestness. Sum setr i. ia prominent knight of phv .s and a first class man. he last of the bunch but by nc ans least, was the celebrated "Can .r of Tirzah" who has been runnin this office for years, and who is the ohnny Lo Lo" of the aggregation. s vote increases every time he runs, d if he can hold out, and continues pealing to the humor of the jokers, the course of time "Cansler of Tir h" may reach the goal of his ambi in. He made one of his characteris speeches, created a whole lot of lause by jabbing his opponents. He arged Mr. Fishburne with having ne fishing on Sundays and wher shburne indignantly denied it, Cans saw be was barking up the wrong imp, and modified it by saying "I was ;d so." Hon. A. W. Jones was the only can 'late for comptroller general. He Wde a masterly presentation of the )rk of his office and defended its re rd, showing from it, that the charges iich his opponent 'Mr Brooker hay ide at other places -were not true d if they were, they could only be :ainst the sinking fund commission o iich he was not a member at the ne: the board at that time was Gov nor Tillman, Secretary Tindal, At rney General Pope and Comptroller neral Ellerbe. He explained on_ sessment system and showed by 11 e burden of taxation fell upon the rmer, while otner property is escap taxation, whereas if there was oper assessing system all propert2 >uld be more equitably assessed, anc e tax levy would be lighter, and ac ally more money would find its wa~s to the treasury. Now eatne what the crowa had pa mntly waited for, the candidates foi Ivrnor. Hon. Cole L. Blease, of Newberry, oke first. After throwing some mece quets at some of our prominen1 ny men. and paying tributes to thE ople for their progressive movemnew building a new court house, he gaV( account of his political career, weul the legislature when only 21 yearn 1 served in the senate, was made eident pro-tern of that body. and be les being for several years a miember the State executive committee. HE .ve as reference any minister in the iy of Newberry. and said, "if I ais t worthy to fill the office of governor vill quit the race and make Gover ir Ansel a present of a handsome 'ince Albert suit to be inaugurated .He took up so much of his timna paing compliments that he onle uchd his platform in spots. On the ior question, lie said: "I am like a an I overheard across the street say~ g he wanted more liquor, bettet tuor, and cheaper liquor," which was platform he endorsed. Mr. Blease arged Governor Ansel's admninistra n with extravagance, reckless waste the people's money, and that upor e floor of the senate he protested, Ld did his best to call a halt. He owed from a sheet of paper taker: m the records in the Comptroller'% ice that under Tillman's admimistra >n the appropriations were somneth gover $900,000, while under Ansel9 e appropriations were some th ing -er $1000,000. He warned the legisla re, and reminded them the peopit are tax-ridden, but if eleecedllh >uld veto every extravagant appro -lation the gene~ral assembly might ike. He had the backbone whieb: is lacking in the present, executive e criticised the governor's recoma endations relating to the execntive ansion, increase of salaries, creatiota an insurance department, and ithii th feet he jumped upon the iminrira n bureau. He also told about having cdined to accept the two dollars pe em for the extra service rendered b3 e general assembly when they liad t >back to Columbia to elect a Unmted .tes Senator to fill the vacancy .used by the death of Senator Lati er. He said Governor Ansels ad inistration was for a rich governmeni id a poor people, while he believed it: p)or government and a rich p~eople charged the governor with revers z himself on the liquor questiol tt when he lirst ran he favored thE ,ate dispensary as the best solution oj ee liquor question, but was elected ion a local option platform, now that har local option Governor Ansel ints state-wide prohibition with thet -ivilege of voting liquor in if the peo c want it. lHe wound up his spech -referring to Ansel's Brother Crai rd's two-year-ago story, and sat dow; nid atpplause. There is no doubt but Illease's speecia us catchy and the kind calculated t ae votes. Governor Ausel then came forward. id was reeived with considerable Liddlapping. TUhe Governor's arrival is an ageeable surprise, because hec is foced to go from the Somtet eeting to Florence to attend a meet g of the industrial school trustees vi .dich he is chairman, and it necess5ita d his arriving in Florence late at git. and leaving theire before day e ext morning to reach here, but he ade it, and prevented the impression tiug out that lhe didl not want to uceBlease. T1he gov ernor, after thatuk he eCople for the handsomne vote e gave him two years ago, said it uld be imipossible for him to atten'z f the campaign meetings w ithou getring his sworU dunties. lbe woul to all that he could without inter ri-ing with the work of his olice, hut :hhim it must and shall be dty first e. had performed his dluties con-cien :.ly. fearlessly, and with the be'st he could command: there was large amount of nourish- @ orm. 'n is powerful nourish ed. I and muscle without digestion. Oc. AND $1.00. ashamed of, and nothing but what he would repeat with the same lights be fore him. His administration was not ;sueetacular, ,r sensational, but it was a straigitforward, honest business ad ministration , carrying out and enforc ing the laws as best he could with such I machinery as he was supplied with. It was, said he, easy enough for anyone to pick out here and there spots to criticise, much easier to criticise than to perform. but he had an abiding faiLh in the people. their intelligence and their patriotism, and knew they Lwere not going to hold him responsible for the acts of the legislature. The governor does not make laws, he is the executive, he must obey and execute the laws made. When the ueneral as sembly sends to him an appropriation bill, it is not for him to question it, these appropriation bills originate with the ways and means committee of the House. then it is passed upon by the finance committee of the Senate. both houses dissects, discusses, and must agree before the measure ever reaches the governor. Blease interrupted to say, "you could veto." To which the governor replied: "The bill can be passed over w. veto, and a veto could only have the effect of injuring the State's credit, stopping the machinery of the government, and at last forcing an extra session at an immense cost to the people." He then went on directing attention to the progress that has been made within the past ten years, the public schools, increased attendance at the colleges, more extensive build ings, but said he, "1 have nothing to do with making these appropriations, that is the work of the general assem bly. of which Senator Blease is a mem ber, and aided in the legislation, now that he is a candidate for governor he criticises me. for that which he has a voice and vote in, and I have not." After a complete review of his admin istration, the governor defended his recommendation to increase the salary of the governor, that it costs more to live in Columbia as governor than it used to, and explained that if his recommendation had been carried out it would not have benefitted him, it xas for future governors, as under the constitution no officer's salary can be increased during the term for which he was elected, and with regard to the governor's mansion, this recommenda tion had been made by his predecessors, the house is in very bad condition, piaz zas falling in, roof leaks, walls injured, and it will have to undergo extensive repairs to be habitable. The plot of ground upon which this building is sit uated can be sold for a large sum, and a part of the proceeds can go towards building a new mansion on the college or other State property, and instead of money coming out of the treasury there will be a large surplus, and that would go into the treasury, as it would take much less to build a new mansion thin the plot of ground would bring. The mansion building was an entirely business proposition svhich would not be of service to him as it. too, is for future governors. His proposition wvas not to build a new mansion, but to have a commission to investigate and report to the general assembly the feasibility and advisability of selling the mansion property for the purpose of building a new mansion. He then went into a discussion of his recomgiendation of a raise of two mills in the State ]evy, but which the legis lature would not or did not consider it. His sole purpose was to find a means to stop this heavy interest drain upon the taxpayers, by putting the State un a cash basis. Under our present system the State must borrow money every year, and thousands upon thousands of dollars arc thrown away to pay interest. whereas if the people would consent to get upon ecash basis the money paid for interest can be saved, and help lighten taxation. ~It is an ordinary busines;s proposition solely for the legislature to accept or reject. It is with that body to make the tax levy, all the governor can do s to point out and suggest., and when he legislature has acted to enforce its madates. Governor Ansel in speaking of the liquor qncstion, said he did not use liquor, has always been a teetotaler, is a orohibitionist, but is a believer in local'self-goverrnment, and any practical or feasibie plan which tended to the diminishing oe the c sumption of liquor has his approval. He realized that liquor legislation is experimental but he believes the time has come to try the experiment of State-wide prohibi tion, with the privilege in those coun ties where a urohibirion sentiment can not be built. 'to allow those counties to vote in the sale of liquor. This is no new proposition for him, as in one of his messages to the general assembly he so recommended. He next took up the educational question. showing where many of the appropriations Mr. Blease complains of wvent. the p~ubhie Ischools, Citadel, South Carolina Uni-I versitv, Clem:on, Winthrop, the latter received an ap~propriationl of $48,000 for a new domitory to make room for the girls of the State, the year before 400 girls were turned away for lack of room. Then there is the pensions for Confederate soldiers $250,000. These were demandee by the people and the leislature gave it. He concluded his most excellent speech by appealing to the voters to register, as under a re cent Act required by the constitution there must be a new registration, and those failing to register will be dis franchised. The governor laid stress upon this. and seemed to regard it very important. His speech was attentively listened to, and when he concluded there was a demonstration of approval. There is no doubt that Blease's speech made a marked impression, and had it Inot been for Governor Ansel's clear, Istraightforward account of his stew Iardship, and his manifest faith in hav ing done what duty required of him, the vote of this county would have been problematic. As it is. the people, are asking themselves, is Governor Ansel entitled to a second termny What has Senator Blease done in his long legislative career to entitie him to be overnorY Is the governor responsible for the legislative appropriations? If not w hvtrv to throw the responsibility upn him? And how can the State be run wibtot app~ropriationS.y Before th ) pinmry comes o!T. there will be' many changes, because of the light throw n upon the issues of the campaign.
