*•"« Aw D«ac«M »*4 Iterl* IMrtlglnc Hta Sapport to KvaM The campaign meeting at Chester waa quite lively, aa far aa the Senato rial candidates were concerned. As (or the audience, It did not seem to enthuse to anjrextent, and it was only every now and then that the audience would applaud. It was during Mr. Mayfield’s speech and the repeated charges that N^r. Mc- Laurin was a populist at heart-aChd that he had offered to issue a populist man ifesto that Mr. Mayfield said that he 'would again repeat the charge now that Congressman Strait was firesefit. Strait and McLaurin both jumped up at the same time, and Strait said to McLaurin to make his statement. x Mr. McLaurin said that In 1SD2 there were three or four parties favoring the free coinage'of silver, and that it was his intention, with others, to try and get all of these forces together; that Tillman, Uryan and other leaders at tended conferences to try and get the free sllverites. the Populists, the silver IUpeblleans and stiver Democrats lo- g ether aso that It was those for ess he mm trying to get eaaaeatrated at aae of these oaalereacws and as address wee tmwod and he.

As for Tlil- mao, now hs said be seemed to be giv ing ell a fair foot race, and he was sat- Uned, and as for himself, he had no political daddy, for he was laid in the sun and hatched by an eagle. Col. Irby repeated the charges that McLiurin had said that Tillman ought to be impeached during the Darlington rebellion, and that tho Reform party had gone to hell. McLaurin said be never said any such thing ; that he had denied it be fore, and that there was no use to re peat a thing he had often denied and which he did not believe was printed as charged. Governor Evans gave a little inside history about his gubernatorial nomi- nstion. Neal, he said, went to Edge- field as hit professed friend and told him that the leaders were against him and he bad better not run for Governor. Evans said be did not care who the leaders were for, ha was golag to raa.

(Loud applause for McLaurin and jeers for Evans.) Evans continued his speech with the statement that he did not mind the audience being against him. He could speak as well to his enemies as he could to bis friends. * McLaurin was received with great applause.

During McLaurin’* speech be ex plained that while be was in the moun tains he received a telegram from Evans and another from Neal, asking him to support ffvans. He expected to do so, but when he heard that Tillman was going to write a letter, he advised against it and wrote against it, and if that letter bad not come out he woub have gone to Marlboro and have worked in a quiet way for Evans. Af ter the letter he voted’for Earle. -• , "Then l have given you ^credit for what you did not do,” aa d Evans. "Af ter the letter, you promised to vote fog me." Mr. McLaurin said be did not.

Mr. Evans stated that the new tariff would raise the price of sugar from 2 to 5 cents per pound. He said that Mc Laurin was backing and pleading the baby act by crying combination.

This the other old man very kindly consented to do, and when he got to tbe market with the two baskets of ap ples, he said to himself, "I will put all the apples into one basket, for it will be easier than picking them out of two baskets." So he put the sixty apples into one basket, and he’said to himself, "Now, if I sell two apples for one cent, and my old friend sells three for one cept, that Is the same thing a* selling five apples for two cents.
