Walt Whitman took thf : ?idd!o of the stand and orated at length and with vigor regardless of tho prof'i o flow of perspiration and heat. In start ityg out he said if liquor was made in this State he favored patroni/inh >nie industries. He reiterated h's us sal pleasantries and arguments. Mr. Prank H. (iaiy a'so had to wade out in the broiling sun and aninun "ed his platform and views, so well known. Home one complained tV.t interior li quor Wild being sold and he .said thii was not the lnt?nti.yn of tho disp nsary system an<l it should not he so. Me was running beeJuse he was a real friend of the dispensary and bo cause the law was not now b dug en forced. A. Howard Patter-on said there was but one Usue in thin campaign an i that wus the. liquor qtie-ttlon, and ho waded into his regular defence of the di p>n sary and tome one who interrupted him was asked what he favorel f.ee liquor, and Patterson told him to vote for prohibition, lie took up h's cus tomary argument and woun I u.) with his attack on the McSweeney adminis tration, especially a* to Charleston. He pounded McSwovney for not ko'z ing bar flxture-s and worrying the poor mountaineer wh6 Pells a jug of liquar. He fa Id M( Sweeney t.lked about sav ing money. If he had a few more cji: stahles they would do something. He said (stimi'te 400 *igc;s in Charleston and 100 In Co'umbia, put the sales at $1.00 each, which would he $">00 a day or $180,000 per year and the constables If emp'oyod ould save this. KlUrbo had about ?o constab e*. say at $ 2, would be $n.2ft0 a year. McSwc&aey has 41 constubles, which would b* $il, 680; dlfferenco $11.".20, instead of $20. 000 as claimed. Tlicr.? are In Charles ton ISO revenue licenses and suppo.-o each of tho:-e s'll $;> a <lay, that wauM be JfHO a day. per month $2,700, per. year $324,000 worth of tiger liquor sold. So, instead of saving, the State is los ing by not having the cjnstab'e-*. Ciov. McSweeney said about the cn'y thing agalnft him was the tirade about him ami Charleston. All h? wanted was to have the last year compared with any other year. U was wrong to single out any town. HeSlld not claim too much, but the p^opbj were doing" their share towards enforcing the law' None of bis constables will ever lid a' lowed to injure any one on flliray grouiii h He read a telegram from Chief Howie in which he showed that instructions were is3ued ta ee. zc. fix tures and he stated that the rer.son fl?: turcs were not seized was that the 4 ti gers got the goods back on claim and delivery and the constables had not been able ta provide for counted bonds. The State board had been asked to pro vide fir these bonds, but has not yet done expenses had not been included in Patterson s figure s, and he imagined a great deal. He did not agre? with Gary there ought to be prohibition in one county and dispensary in others. If there were to be improvements in the dispen sary it must come from the legislature, and prohibition to Login with wotthl increase taxes. Col. James A. Hoyt saiel that the friends of the dispensary had already / criticised it sufficiently for him not to bay anything about (t. There is no uso to go to Kansas to find violations of the dispensary, for any law is violated there or hero. He believed there would be agitation until the dispensary is abolished. The dispensary has fonie good features but they are getting in bad repute by non-enforcement. Moral questions, If they affect' tho peop'o, have a perfect right to enter into pol- j itlcs. The State has no right to en gage in business. He insisted that there was no ncccs slty in the ftlble for expressly prohib iting the sale of whiskey, to begin with the general principle Is against li quor selling, and there was no s'jch vile gtutf known In tho days of the Blh!e as () futs X, and he took up the llible to tihow its argument against the sale of liquor. Senator Tillman was well received alter a tlx hour wait. He Mid he was -JMB1U4 because of time, and some ,-fvtled: "The moon Is shining." and Til!~ " jnan caught the joke and thought this was a good one on htm shoot this moonshine country. He then took up Col. Hoyt's speech and said It mi dfah ttncUy his purpose not to dictate or aeddto, and then again explained whjv ka,?W Humtag. and he was going to on what he pleacej and .would no orders from any one.

The "J? ?lisnensarv will be as much of ?? n,a chine as the present system. Thr'? would be more Hoyt's colore so un^ ?ler that system than e\ei before. There were blamed few prohibitionists from principle. Hoyt wants to bo gov- , -,riior mo.c than lie wants S then he rapped Gon'.alea and N ' j(, into MeSweeney. He said he would not be in the race if MeSweeney forced the law. If the hW was en forccd in Charleston it was because he was after him with a hot stick.

Gary s pla - form meant prohibition, then free liquor ami starvation of the dlspen ,arv In Charleston. Columbia and 1 qaewhere. He edged on the cl}ar,<^* ?on incident to-day by saying what he laid there Every daily paper was sup porting him. and he spoke of his news paper appointments and spoke of me L an "honorable" newspaper attn. Ciov MeSweeney sabl all spoke about violations in Charleston and Columbia. Why are they not fair and show how well the law is enforced They do not tell you about tho^renrt juries throwing out cases.

(low McSweeney } said this would bq the case In Charles i ton if tin- people and local officer* favored the law. If elected he would not allow the enforcement of the law 1 in Charleston to be common tolH III* I was lohl that the Charleston rani? j amounted to nothing. Tillman said lie i would raise bell on Chleco street and there wag the difference. Col. H$yt lirought as witness Gary | and Patterson and Whitman. They all I say they have seen the tigers in Char i lest on and they were his witnesses as i to how wide open things were, Ha knew nothing of tt h!t?s?lf, except 1 everyone said thej tigers Were common I there, lie said it was a slander to say i drinking was as g< neral as claimed and ho had some fun out of his prl UiurJtR a* to those who drank. Not one of the mayors said the eon itAblni chfoiced the law, but they en ' forced the law themselves. The "tig. I eis" are in the country and some one j vaiC* vueri* was'not a S?Vln(i tiger in | i.atvin township and Col. llovt said fhn ranie could be done with prohibit lion. Mr. Kit liar.!-on said It won hi g i \ < < no money. G. Walt Whitman wa > running purely because of patriotism and re pi at "d h:x usual argument and par ticularly 011 prohibition. Any man who preach* s prohibition is a fool, f.tnatit- or a crank. Josh Ashley and Whitman had a tilt. Ashley insisting that h* never I voted for the dispensary. Whitman | took a few raps about the enforcement . of the law and Charleston's non-en ! forcemeat, lie went for McSweeney las being without backbone, sand or ! nerve. it was announced that all other speakers would have five minutes pro sided they spoke before Tillman. All who wanti.i morn than live minutes | would spe ak after Tillman. C. I,. Winkler spoke first, supported the dispensary, liberal support for ; veterans and common schools. i John T. Sloan referred to thic being i his native fieath and wanted to bo j elected as the first .ieutenant governor ; fikopi Anderfon. He wanted the IMed ! uiont belt td stand by its boy/, j Janus II. Tillman favored the dls ' peu^ary: prohibition had been an abso j lute failure where tried. Prohibition 1 has almost trebblcd crime in Maine. He r( lcried to the company from here ! and received a large bouquet frgm j sonic of his "bovs" of the company. . Cole Ti. Hleaso stood on his rctonj as a mau. lie wanted better schools land $100,000 given the public schools. I'he scholarship system heurged was i wrong. Favored dispensary law. ^ ("apt. Jennings and l)r. Tjmmerman, spoke of their qualifications. Mr. Derhain took up the charges and ! ma rife reply and Mr. Hrooker ham mered away on Derhain's absence from office. McMahan jmd Capers skimmed over their platform. In reference to Bishop Stevens he said he was a minister and that was no doubt a good reason for... his views, but McMahan nor the In structors of the normal school wt?o preachers. j Gen. Floyd made, a patriotic defense of his administration and the militia. Mr. House wrote that he was sick, j Senator Tillman said be bad not been I here in six years and this county stood | by him as no other had. He was now I Introduced as the "Hen-gall tiger." Of course lie was "Hen," Gonzales fur nished the "gall" and the whiskey men j and prohibitionists the 'tigers," and that was how his new name came about. He took up to-day's editorial in The State. It was an old thing to call him a rlngster and a "boss." It was because he always had an all round ring that they call him a "boss." The people arc with him and that was why the people stood by him and that was no reason to call him a "boss." Then, as before, he explained why he was in the campaign, it w?h not his fault that he had no opposition. The reason no one ran against him was be cause it was thought to be useless. He cause he came in compliance .with party mandates lie was accused of be-t Ing a "boss." No one knew better than he that the people would be the very first to rebuke "bosslsm." If he had not come then he would have been jumped upon anyway, so ii was only an evidence of the web libit was being made. They would have said he had the swell head and all that and when lie caino it was criticism, so it is the same old thing: "He damnoi. if he did and be damned If he did not." He never paid any attention to his critic? and he always felt better when he had N. G. Gonzales opposed to him and he knew ho was right now when he had all of N. G's. venom poured on him. Ho reiterated his statement relative to ihe alliance of the preachers and old barkeepers and whiskey men. The Keatherstono election showed the "al liance" openly and plainly. A largo number of ministers have never been opposed tQ, theodiupcusary ail(f tliVy havo given it their quiet support. It gave him anything but pleasure to an tagonize ministers, for he recognized their influence, their piety and ex ample, but he felt constrained to talkj out when fdandered and when they, entered politics. He took up Dr. Oard ner's sermon and Insisted that It was his duty to prove his charges or with-, draw them. No man could Insult him,' preacher or otherwise, without being! called down. He then took up Mr.. Richardson's charge against him and tald It was "hot stuff,** and on th s he argued to show he nce^d no machine, for ho had the people. It'.waB absurd and Idiotic to charge him with want ing a machine. ' Col. Hoyt was a clean and clever-, man and a brave soldier and be waa not fighting him at all. but he found a< light and he found prohibition circa-, bin accusing him. and ministers were accusing him of cheating an. all that sort of thing, and that waa why be ?poke oat. They bars attempted to bribe him by iho offer of unanimous support and n self-seeker would have %ivoided home affairs. There were candidates who were avoiding tin- hoi poker, but tliut wax not hi.s way. The CjcJldatts hi Ahbixhlc Abbeville, tfpeetal. The Abbot ilic campaign mooting was <^i?it-t aud 01 derly.

"I ing mi well and tired and did not j-peuk with customary vigor, lie did m?t hold his usual hand primary because he did not wish to do so until Col. Uovt spoke, ho said, and when Co! Hoyt spoke 1)0 omitted the hand pri mary. ' The general run of speeches wore as usual; liov. McSweeney coming in for ?t good Installment of criticism for his course tus tu Cnarlestou and olumhia. And Uov./McSweoney in turn insisted th\t tJiHi seemed the ontiro argument against his administration. The light Is now warm and seems to he narrow ing down Mr. t'Yank H. CJary being at home. h#d all arrangements pleasantly made ^ v-T* ovxh vjkS ti'u ** \AV\ V ti. After the governatorial candidates hail spoken the crowd began to thin out materially, and the last speakers had a mere handful to talk to. Senator Tillman whs the llrat speak: or. lie said he whs not altogether well. He would not have como boro.it all but for the fact that Uo did tyQt like to give the county the by. TnMo is no county in the State that outstrips this in civilization aud refinement, u is tho only court houso in the State whero he was never subjected to harsh nevs and where he was always well re celvod. He had the sense of gratitude to a large extent, and that wn< his chief reason for. being hero, lie then took up, as heretofore, why ho had com? here, lie wished t<> emphasize that he was hero as a public KOtvant. and then took up tho preachers and said it was an unexpeetc i incident and one not of his seeking or desire. At Greenwood, Greenwood, Special ?There was no thing unusual in the campaign moot hip. Col. Hoyt called down Mr. Pat terson for What ho claimed to bo p?r fdstcnt misrepresent at ion of his posi tion.
