Tho meeting at this place AT SPAItTAMlUKO , a* a ? ft tam v affair. All tho orators wcrqRfivon an attentive hearing, and best of order provuilod. The orowd numbered about 800. The meeting was opened with prayer by Rov. E. L, Archer, and Chairman Stanyarne Wilson introduced ;as the first sp taker Mr. John Gary AVatts. He taken up the most of his Timo showing the audience his past good record and excellent service to tho State. He defied anyone to point to an instance whoro he acted other* wiso than to the welfare of tho State and for the gpod of the militia. Ho spoke of hia military-training, not a9 bis quaiilicatioti for re-election, but ' ithat ho would go in again ou his merits. Qon. T?ichbourg oited his patt record as a soldier, and spoke of his being unfit for any other occupation, save the office he was a candidate for. G.en. rr:: Richbourg referred to tlio timo he first enterad the army to fight for tho South ern oauso and concluded with a tribute ito iho honors, glory and bravery of 'South Carolina. , . <, ' , Mr. Robiubon said ho was not opposed to the denominational colleges, neither was ho opposod to any of tho Stato ^schools. He Paid ho labored for every .^'? retqrm movement and for every reform feador, at tho same timo nover oppos ing tho administration, and would fur thermore uphold his opponent if tho people saw fit to elect him. He stated .<? that "May field was trying to monopolize tho office, and oxprepsod his inability to discover his friend Mayfield's posi tion. Mttyfleld said that ho was both able ami willing to servo the people, and donied tho statement of ltobinson iu reference to hjs holding a monopoly over tho office. Judge Ehrlo was introduced next, and ho* bogged tho poople to lay aside prejudices and vote for man as man and insure a better government in South Curolina, Ho thon askod thorn to view UiB past rocord. Ho then onterod into a eloso Jisoussion of tho coinage ques tion, and conoluded by remarking that he hoard of Col. Ganit'a carrying their votes in his pocket. (Laughtor.) Gantt arose and said that he did not carry tho votes of Spartanburg county in his pockot._ lmt that the people cur ried liim in their pocket. (Applause.) ~ 'Duncan maile a few remarks about his part record na a Reformer and said it wns indoed a misfortune that Earle wu3 iu the raco. Ho said his duty was not to hido rnsoality, but to reveal it, and that Evans hod made a record which wifs his duty to show tho poople. (Calls for Evans.) Voice: "Tell us ~'m'6r6 aliOV.i'EvnnB." ?He - pitched into Evans about 'the robatos And tho bond deal and congratulated tho people that tho Dispensary was out of hiB hands. Ho mentioned about State detectives following him around) doing his bid ding and protecting .uita anCt ''whoop ing up!" He read a few statements in regard to tho rebates Hubbel offered 1 Mixson and olmllengod Evans to deny them. He dared him further to deny that he slandered Tillman. Evans was greeted with lond ap plause. He said the game cook of two years ago was not the thief with horns and long claws as his opponents call him. (Cheers.) That when he went hnnting he nover wasted his shot on crows and buzzards. He went on to ?ay tli&t tlio early bird would iiave to. | get up earlier than what be had been doing to beat him, and that ho had al ready clipped bis wings and would soon pull oiit his tall feathers. Said "bo voted for Judge Wallace "because be had befriended his father in timo of need. Ho then jumped ipto a disous* .eion of the bond deal and rebates and expressed himself as being confident that the people of South Carolina still trusted, him. } Mr. Barber did as 4$6st of the oan didates, referred to bis put service in the interest of the State. He Conclu ded by speaking of the advantage of the dispensary law. Gen. Ellerbo said be was a loyal Be former and would always snpport the administration.

Ho claimed to have beon a Reformer two years boforo Tillman, and taking out bin pocketbook, offered to pay overy man who would tell him one thing Till man had dono for the farmers. Duncan was tho first Senatorial Bpeakor on tho programme. lie com* Elained vehemently of Evans' aotiou in aving hiin put first at almost every meeting, tho Governor taking the re ply. If ho had been Governor and njkd aotod decently it would be unneo CPBarv. for him to resort to all these squirming* awl Wilting.", to get an op* portunity to reply by ridioulo to what he oonlA not answer by argument. Duncan said he had no Dispensary coDHuhles to whoop in the audience whm ho gave tho sign and none to proteot him, but that would not pre vent him from showing up Evans* dirty work. A ipan who did tho greatest amount of hollering for Evans at Uuion, Duncan doolared, had been told by tho Governor to come to Co 1 ?mbia and and get a commission as Stato constable. Duncan again told about the Governor having his "cow ardly bones" guarded at tiio pnblioex penso by Stafo conbtablos . He had voted for Evans for Governor in 18i>4, but ho did not know all of him; he kuow now and had uotpromined to vote for him perpetually. If ho continued in his rasoally ways the }>eoplo would not support him in his ratably. Evans to tickle the farmers, was going about tho State abusing John 0. Has kell, but Haskell bad recently charged him in an open card with haviug bteu bought by tho railroads when in tlio legislature and Evana had not dared deny it. I! Evans would deny in writing that he told Jjiquor Commis sioner Mixaon Tillman had lined hie pockets with dispensary money, Mixson would show him up within twenty- four hours. Governor Evans made uo roforouoo to Dunoan, only alluding to him sar castically as a second Calhoun. In tbo oourse of bis remarks ho made ft bitter attack on the United States Judges. The income tax had been declarod un constitutional after one of the Judges had been bought up. In reference to Simonton's recent injunction againet rate cutting Evans said it was a damn able outrage against farmers. "Simonton's all right," said a man . "If you think Simonton ull right you need brains," retorted Evans. He asked all those who behoved bi monton'g agtiou dariQnabW} to xoid up tHefr hands. About seventh-five went up. Evans said ho was going to \\ a&U ington to help wipe Simonton off tho beneh. _ , , , ? Referring to Judgo Earle the Gov ernor trusted the peoplo would not | vote for a wolf who wanted to get into the sheep fold to suck iho blood of tho hearts. If tho people went to sleep now, he declared, they would deservo | tj> wear ahacklesj. but hc^t hanked God that right wTTl finally "be given to the people throughout the Union, lie Baid that the people had probably heard more of what a demou bo is, what a raeoal he is, except probably, Ben Tillman. He had answered those slanders, yet from day to day they arc repeated and he did not intend taking up his time diaoueaing them at tho ex pense^ more important issue*. These thing* were all ventilated two years ago, and he wa. elected Governor. Ho defied any man to show one act of bin whiob was not for the best interests of | the people. He recalled the fact that tho Sholl manifesto was denounced ftBft lie. He said it waa true so lar as those complained of are concerned. Tho people won a victory on that platform, ? but yet a - greater fight is to bo made. They have got to swallow it here, but the people should bo euro to send men to Washington who will bo true to their interest and who have been fightingjor them since tho bnttle bo thev were going to vole lor Mm. ' Governor Evnua alluded to the later day converts (meauing Earle) who were now trying to get on the band W8Judge Earlo was the next speaker and waa woll received and started out by saying that his people needed no statement as to his recod and as to his Democracy, and he went on to explain hie reasons for running in 1890 and with what results. He worked for jus ticetobe done every man and sub mitted to tho majority, and t?4 men who now tell you to stand together in factions do so because they want office. It ie not patriotic or for your good to encourage discusion. ' He said he asked at Lancaster , certain .question handed him. They wereprop ; er questions and were submitted in a respectful manner, and he regretted that the campaign had taken such a low plane, but he had nothing to ao with it. He said, as something haa been' eaid here about the Florence in cident, that ho wished to eay he re gretted more than any thing < else the occurence, or rather %thofir?T1*Aftn^n which brought it about, brft it was such as could not be avoided for as a man he could not permit an insult io 'ao without resenting it. ^When he accepted the ty?** ?' great as was Iho honor, he ^ M render his mauhood. enr rende* the right to resent, en insult. No commission frbm the nation or Sute ooold be given him on soch wnaitions for he would tear it up aether than accirpt snoh conditions. He insulted no tftfPt sod permitted no man to in suit him. Hewee sorry for thscccur man he hsd no apology to 4*oke, as a SSLthZaU i?oW *e, but as a men imj pTe? nt wSdifcon^jiil^sntlj he 3JT OMs to soeek oat.

(Cheera for Earlo). Judge Ernie then wont into a discussion of tho silver question, developing the subject from tho boginning of silver coinage. Tho argument was altogether towards u in tern to the Act oi 1S37. Ho closed by taying that it was said Govoruor Evans would get all the votes in Greenville, ! I >11 1 he was badly mi?tnk??i, add with this many in tho crowd eoneimed. At tho conclusion of his Btlvor argumout Judge Earlo was given a hoarty baud clapping. Gan. Riohbourg and Gen. Watts spoke noxt and roviowod their olaims for elootion as Adjutant General. Someone oried out in tho applause for Watts:' "Wo will have you for our next Governor!" Mr. Cooper said Mr. MeSwoone.v actually bugged Gautt, but U ho wore to hug anyouo it would bo t better | looking mail than Gantt. (Laughter.) Then he suid ^loSweency's namo was printed with thoso of Evans and Ellerbe, and he wantod it understood j bo was not hanging to anyone's cost j tail, but was running on hisown nu l it, although bis opponent was trying t<: j get a tirm bold on coat tail*, it soonied. j Mr. Cooper roviowod his work for | Roform and relatod tho way white men were registered in Colleton. Gen. Harrison was thou presented. Ho was well received and vested no timo before entering upou tho discus Bion of his threo loading issues. His provosod reforms for Clemson and tbo Dispensary were attentively beard. Ho Linaistod that any county could buy liquor an choap as the' State. In Greenvillo it could bavo its own con stabulary at a little more cost, and a homo constabulary would prevent any possible conflict. Ho citod a local caso of tho search of Mr. Baker's tt unk by foreign constables. Ho argued at length 011 the extraordinary and onor* mous powers C>f the Governor and said thoy were dangerefns to the liberties of the people. Gen. Harrison was heart lly applauded. There were, calls for Ellerbe, but he was not presont. Mr. May field and Mr. Robinson, oandidates for Super intendent of Education, were next heard as to why thoy sould bo elooted. Messrs Prince and Ansel, candidates for solicitor, and Congressman Wilson and Mr. Joe Johnson, for Congress, were to finish up the programme. M*. Ellerbe, Mr. McSweenoy and Mr. Btanyarne Wilson wanted a night's rea^ anfl b?d remained over in Spar* i Jiinhurg to take tho vestibule that arrives here at noon, but tho trsin was five hours late. Mr. MoSweeney ind Mr. Ellerbe, having many friends \eie? regret theired delay. IN' TUB C0T7BT HOUSE AX PICKENS. The oampaign meeting was held at Piokens on Thursday. Everything passed off quietly. County Chairman Boggs oalled the mooting to order and introduced Mr. Cooper as the first Speaker. He gavo a history of his oou j nection with tho Itoform movement aod a legislator. His opponent print ted oharacter certificates and cast them broadcast. Ho had no press to do so, and would not if ho could. Iu Spartanburg bis opponents tiod Mr. McSweoney to tho ooat tail swinging arrangement. Ho hoped he would bo loft to make his own race, and on bis merit alone did ho stand. He said ho was not running a hugging campaign, as ho suggested McSweenoy was with Gantt. Mr. Ellerbo wan the next ppeaker, I aud mado a special plea for tho election j of the wifieht, befit and most practical i men to tho Legialatnro to help him rnn an economic government. He de voted mont of his time to a diftonsfrion of tho Heform work, and ho thought a good reoord had been made. Taxation waa generally disouaWed. He Haid at Edgefield tbat he would join uo one in tearing down nny fctate institution and all ahould bo supported. IIo believed the State had as lunch right to tax the people for higher education i?h for common *ohooi?, though thry did not do ae much good.- bornuso' 07 per cent of tho poople could not attend colleges, but the Statu wax able to support both. Thero wnn no need for Olcmsotj aa n literary college, but wt.fi, and le, needod aa an industrial and mechani* 1 oftl college. If Cltwnbon could bo run without the privilege tax the tox ahould be abolished. He wanted to ace the fighting quit and f.cc tho people come together. Then camn Mr Whitman, and, aa a true Ilefornmr whoso record waa abao Jntiily spotle^, he arikcd to speak some truth*. Ho Mudl.cwna sure of clootioD, and ho wmitcd to show how pap-Rtickors had diverted lii-toj.m from its real pur poflea. Ho form iias euftcred a Water loo in thorniest of Viotory.

Ho said it whh chaise I that ho was aw inking on to coat tails bcouuso hit* name \vat> | on certain badge*.

Ilo dovotod muoh timo to educational matters aud as to what he would do if elected. Governor Evans was tho flrat of the candidates for tho Sonata to be pre sented. Ho apologir.od beoauso of hie sore throat, and said Piekens was a loader in political views. Boforo start ing he would tako home notico of tho slanders circulated agaiust him. Ho had made' no ehargos or in? intuitions . From day to day ho demanded proof against him, but it revcr came. Tho papers havo all told of thesn things. The people are itdolligent and would act on the whole evidence and not tho Htatcuiont of one man. He aekod if there was any one who wanted any ex planation of any of tho charges and if thero wcro none who wanted such ex planation tie would dismiss tho oluirgea m foul air from a mud hole. Pickens six years ago arose and said; ".Stop, thus far and no further." Tho Stato aud then tho Nation took it up. They started with tho Shell manifesto. It was set forth ys your Comititution and tho principles there enunciated havo boon accepted by evorp State. Ho said Cleveland was actually thinking of ao eoptiiig an Anti-Democratlo nomina* tion, and was worse than a traitor to Democracy. IIo then reviewed tho inorcaso of indebtedness and dooreaso of circulation by Cleveland. Ho work ed up to the National Convention, and said these peoplo who wore oalling them Populista and Anarchists were now trying to got on tlio band wagon. Judgo Earlo vvus uoxt introduced. Ho said this was his first appearance on 1 tho stump in Piekous. Iu 1890 ho was t unable to be hero, and he gave an out ' lino of bin position at that timo and | reasons why he frit called upon to j make the race, and ho had nothing to j apologize for. No one had over charged anything wrong against him. No one could ever say ho has been an Inde pendent. He said ho has never been a "Koformer," but he was u Reformer so far as wanting the reforms which tho people wanted, and which woro right. He did not belong to the Re form faction. Jio flood where tie did *n 1890. He was a Democrat, lfo did come before all and asked for peace. Continuing ho said: "Wo don't want any moro quarrelling. Wo want to stand together. We want to bo neigh bors, to reform these things that need reformation." Ho did hope South Carolina would present a solid front and work together for such reforms as woro ncedid. He said ho heard noth ing of free silver in tho public cam paigns of 1890, 1892 or 1894, although it may havo been discussed iu tho Al liance. Ho then entered upon a dis cussion of tho silver question. Tho peoplo of Pickens aro independent and will not vot?j thoy .are told. They will not bo eoinmauried, but will vote ae they think is right, and whatever they do will meet his approval. Mr. Dutican said all were Demoorata and it was an insult for Judgo Earlo to claim to bo a better Dcqiocrat than others. Ho then took up Evans's re cord and said ho professed many things and did other things. Tho dis pensary message wiis a contradiction throughout. Governor Evans, he aaid. bad admitted he wanlel to go back on Ih? dispensary board. Ho repeated "John wants to go liaok" on the board,' ind went to the story about Hubell'ri, affer to Mixson and, Evans's ordering! Mixon to buy from Hnbbell, and ho?; Evans told Mixton that Tillman bad filled hia pockets out of the t\j mu ii iuin uu uv u m 11 ^ 41 f in which hia friends joined. He tried to get Evans to make a denial, and if he made a denial it would bo proven on him in twenty-four hours. Ho paid the best thing for Evans to do was to make no explanations ns ho con tradicted himself, and than branched off on the bond oontraots and denoun ced it as at other meetings. "Evans has dono you," ho said, ''at ?very op portunity, but has dono nothing for you," Governor Evans, he i eaid, had been slandering all around, and ho had said of an insuranco agent at Anderson: "That scoundrel hns done as much as steal when he accepted a 2 per cent rato when the rale was reduced by the Tariff Association," ami ho by this very language convicted hin brother, who got a two per cent rate. Evana bad better be' hitched to tho traces and wait to see if ho wan a lulkor, for he con Jive on interest in bond and rebate com imssiouH. Gen, Richbonrg an^.'.Gcn*. Watts, camo next. Gen. Watts emphasized^ Gen. RichbonrK'n candidacy on the Haskell ticket, and Gen. ftichbourg said Watt? was for Bratton, and in les* than n year waa appoined to office, aud he thought he had been on the mourn er's l>ench long enough. 1 Mr. May field and Mr. 'Robinson spoko next.

If it in wrong for an indindual to Hell liquor, ain't it wrong for tho State. It waw not expectod that iho Stnto should make money out of it.

Tho Dispensary law an a regulation of the tr&fUo ia a good law, if it. ia carried out, but it ia not, Another evil in that iho Governor can appoint two or inovo constables. He oun appoint his friends or heelers ami thus wield an immense power. Hut what has it made? Whore is tho money out of thin one million dollar bustncFR0 Ho charged nobody with, corruption, but he would like to kuow where tho money in it has made. Tho dealers before tho low was punned made money out of it. Tho Ditpcneary haa paid back tho Sr>0,0(>0 borrowed, N/?nd thai iH all. But it ia said that tho Dis pensary paid tho exponas of the Con stitutional Convention, while as a mat tor of fi.ct tho wo arc told that we aid now being taxed to pay tho expense* of that institution. IIo believed there ahould bo some showing mado of the profits. llti Raid ho hoped tho law would bo enforced or it waa originally iotended to be? to provont drinking rathar than to encourage it. Judge Earle then discussed national issues. Mr. Duncan devoted a Urge part of his opening remarks to conditions af fecting tho people by rflanon of national legislation. The people of the State are all agreed on the remedy, lie said, and ho advised that, the people ceftKO all bickerings and bitter ness and, united, light for the common (?ause. Mr. Duncan,' in referring to Governor Evans, held him up up, a violator of luw At Florence he re sisted arrest when ho had violated an ordinance of tho city, threatening to tako charge of the town, an idle boast which ho could not carry ont. When the Governor violates tho law thus, what may we oxpoct from the people.? He auid Governor Evaus had already abused tho power of appointing con stables. Ho appoints them to whoop him up at meetings and has himself been driven to tho necessity of going down among tho boya and ouoouraging them. At Newberry bo rewarded oneol his howlers by au appointment and did tho same at Union, where he told a man named Sparks, who had been most prominont in tho howling, to come to Columbia and an appointment would bo awaiting him. Ho reiterated his various charges about Hiibbell-Evans Aflxon rebates; agricultural board and Oletnson bequest. He said Evans had no ahow siuco ho loft 13arnwoli until ho jgot to Spartanburg and then he had his private secretary wheeling over tho county working for him. Ho spiked Gantt's guns and Gantt thinks no moro of Evana than you and I do. He con eluded' by U660fcting that Govornor Evana knew ho could not ha eleoted ex cept by tho aid of the party machinory and by stocking the cards, He oonld toot be oleoted by tho free voto of tho people Govoroor Evaus ?aid bo wai glad to talk to honest men.
