e wanted to be one.
Free silver had been ofte of the Al
liance demands for six years. The Na
tional ^Democratic platform was the
same as the State platform. He re
ferred to theGreenville News and News
and Courier and ridiculed the sound
money literatnrh these papers were
publishing. The farmers had never
wanted Cleveland, and stood as the
prophets of the country. He said the
Chicago convention reminded him of
an old time Tillman hands-all-round
meeting. He took most of the credit
for Bryan’s nomination, and eulogized
the Detaocratic candidate. Gov. Evans
la inched into a free silver argument,
saying ail were dependent on this issue.
His speech on this subject was listened
to very attentively. He took up the
income tax question and said one of the
U. S. Supreme Court judges had been
bought by the millionaires. The U. S.
Courts should be reorganized "You
want to send to Congress men who will
do this.” "Earle will do it," yelled a
farmer standing near. Gov. Evans
took a hand primary on the question
of Judge Simonton's honesty and three
voted that he was all right while a few
more held up their bands on the other
side. He referred briefly to lh« Federal
pension Iniquities, and closed by urg

and the constabulary foroe took too
much money. He advocated loan! op
tion. There ware too mhoy ddioers
employed. The counties oould Tftre+l-
quors as cheap as oould be done by the
State. ‘ The State buys the liquors in
the West and gets the advantage of
the long haul rates. It is shipped to
Columbia and from there to the differ
ent counties at short haul rates and no
money is saved. The constabulary was
also expensive. A. constable was or
dered from Charleston to Greenville
and the State had to pay the expenses.
Local constables oould be employed
cheaper, and thfere would be nooonflicts
between the constables and the people.
He told of the case of young Baker
of Baterville, whose trunk was search
ed in this city some months ago and
who bad never had anything to do
with the liquor traffic. The extra
ordinary power exercised by the Gov
ernor ought not to remain in the hands
of any man. He can come into Green
ville County" with the appointment of
a hundred constables with the instruc
tions to arrest those opposed to him
and let his favoiitcs go. The new
constitution provides that the profits
should go to the schools but they had
never gotten any. Ha gave the differ
ence between the prices of beer in
Aiken end Augusta, and it wee about
•2 00 higher in the former. He thank

G. Walt Whitman, of Ualon, candi

speaker. . He opened with some com
plimentary remarks to Greeevllle an J

made a strong free silver speech, but
the crowd had become very small. His

Earlo Is too late a Reformer He came
to the Reformers who gave him an hon
orable position, which was enough.”
"When yob and i add Ben Tillman
were fighting for Reform, where do we
see this men (Evans)?” asked the
speaker. Evans voted gainst Till
man's candidates in the Legislature.
Evans voted to postpone the Cletnson
matter along with Haskell and Braw-
ley. We heard so much about his go
ing to give separate coaches for the
races, but he has never done it. In
J890 Evans was looking at the Reform
E recession to see If he could get a job.
lunoan tackled Evans’ record along
tbe usual lines. Evans voted against
Y. J. Pope for the Supreme Court,
wbeu Tillman wanted him elected.
Evans was in a desperate plight. Mr.
Dudo&d was informed that he had^only
live minutes more and he made a brief
reference to the bond matter. He then
took up tbe rebate business. Evans
tried to defend Hubbelland made Huh
bell out a liar. He referred to the
meeting where Mixeon was present,
and Evans did not deny the rebate
transaction. He turned to
told him to deny tt, and said Mixson
will show you up, sir.” He held out to
Evans a written denial ot the state
ment and asked him if he would sign
it> Evans paid no attention to him,
but went on talking to a friend on-the
■tend. Duncan told tbe anecdote of
the man who broke with his pockets

toaekon his put life. Several cheers
for Evans were given by his admirers

The candidaW* for Adjutant and .
InkpectorOaasral were the next .peak- ® Mttn <?bu!d •*/ that the admlni.Vra-
tion had been a failure. He thanked
the people for their pest support and
a«ked them to vote for him if they
thought he would make a better officer
than his competitor. Mr. May^pld
was cheered as be sat down.
Mr. T- C. Robinson, of Pickens,
candidate for Superintendent of Edu
cation, was the next speaker. He was
a grandson of Greenville, and admired
his grandmother. He was a graduate
of Wcfford. a denominational college,
but wae not opposed to the State col
leges. The public schools should be
sustained. Because he was a new man
was no reason why ho was opposed to
the administration. He had been edi
tor of a Reform paper for the last six
years and had defended the true, tried
and trusted leaders of the movement
and would still do so. His\pponent
spoke as if w*s ruuning for O^vernor.
Since Mr. Mayfield-had gone tu-Colum-
bia, he ha£ undergone a change of
heart. When first elected, hfi.preach-
ed rotation in office, but now he wants
the office for life. Mr. Robinson told
an anecdote of Eli Perkins which he
applied to Mr. Mayfield. He read from
the Shell manifesto, the paragraph
for rotation in office. Mr.
Robinson was applauded at the close
of his speech.
The candidates for solicitor were
next on the program. Mr. M. F. An
sel was first introduced, but he did not
make any speech. He thanked the
people for their past support and
gracefully introduced his friend and
competitor, G. E. Priuoe, of Anderson.
Mr. Prince said such handsome treat-
men? ak had beea-givan him by Mr.
Ansel took the stareh out of him. He
eald Mr. Ansel had held the office for
eight years aac bad established a rep-
f tation ae a criminal lawyer. Mr.
rlaoa made a speech which hept the
crowd la a good humor aad which was
full of wit- He told several
oa* of which aboat Brother Crawl
was the oa* need by
rood effect ia hie
Mr. Pri roe egcke of th* tm
era. Gen. R. N. Rlchbourg was first
introduced. He spoke of his experi
ence* in military affair* end said he
served under Maxey Gregg during the
war. He promised to support Gen.
WatL jf he was nominated.
Gen. John Gary Watts was next in
troduced. He was glad to meet tbe
people of Greeeoville County. The
militia, he said, was on a firmer basis
than ever before since the war. He
told one or two jokes which got the
crowd in a good humor and read the
resolutions of the military convention
which endorsed his administration.
As Gen. Watts was sitting down, a by
stander called out that they would
elect him tfie next governor.
Hon. M. R. Cooper, candidate for
Lieutenant Governor) was the next
speaker. He paid a tribute to Green
ville and told of his record in the ser
vice of tbe Reform faction. Mr. Cooper
told of the nomination of Tillman in
1890, in which he said he took part.
He spoke in glowing terms of Bryan,
whom he b&id was the man to lead the
people. He referred to his oompetitor,
Maj. McSweeaey, - and said he was
sorry he was not here. In Spartan-
Larry Gantt. "If I were going to hug
a man, I would get a better looking
one than Larry Gantt.” There Also he
found badges bearing the namea of
Evans, 'Ellerbe and McSweeney. but
the speaker was not a coat-tail swinger.
The candidates for Governor came
next, the first one being Senator John
R. Harrison. He promised not to
touch upon national iseues but would
Jiaouss State affairs. Taxes had varied
very little in the laat twenty yeara.
The bonded debt haa been refunded
and there la now no reason why the
VAXes should not be reduced. He took
up the matter of Clemson College end
explained the purpose of tbe founding
6f tbe college. It wae not Deeded a* a
literary institution but as a technologi
cal school. Senator Harrieoa aaid lass
money should be used at Clemaoa aad

follow precedent. Cheer after cheer
went up from Boor nnd gallery anil
platform, end the dark-skinned little
woman opened her eyes lo surprise,
and then went ahead, oatmly settling
herself in her seat In the box nearest
and to the right of the rostrum. But
the cheering continued and men got
upon their chairs and waved hats and
fans in their desire to do honor to the
wife of the Democratic candidate. Wo
men, too, rose and joined in tbe shout
ing, and soon it looked as if the whole
audience was on its feet yelling with
might and main. Mrs. Bryan rose to
bow her thanks. The cheering became
more intense. She bowed again and
again, and still they cheered. Through
it all she looked cool and calm, just as
she appeared on that exciting day at
Chicago when the Bryan whirlwind
swept all before it and brought about
the circumstances that made her so
prominent a personage. Fiaally the
cheering ceased, and Mrs. Brvan began
wielding a broad palm-leaf and sur
veyed the audience. She was attired
simplyin a waist of light grey silk,
crdffiffcf with black bars, and a dark
skirt. A little black jet turban, adorn
ed with a white aigrette, waa on her
head. Mrs.'Bryan had entered the hall
on the arm of Wm. P. St. John. Mrs.
St. John could not attend on account of
illness, and the wife of Governor Stone
cfltne in her place. In the box with
Mrs. Bryan were Mr. and Mrs. Bland,
Mrs. Stone, Mrs. Macy of New York,
and Clark Howell, editor of the Atlan
ta Constitution.
It waa juat 8 o’clock when the prin

for the nonrfhee. He saw that his au

he gave up his attempt to check the
enthusiasm. He sat down wearily,
but In a second jumped up again with
hand upraised for silenoe. The shout-

take a last lease in their efforts. Sena

But he was not listened to and the
crowd did not cease until it felt like it.
Mr. Bryan rose and stepped to the

was pale, but he waa cool and calm.
