iGAL 1! THE A SPLENDID MEETING IN GREENVILLE. HAwipMH, Latimer, Henderson and Johnstone Make Strong Arguments Against the New Doctrines of. the Commercial Democrat* town rill* MounUlnnnr.Inf.Jir^ ”TS*lBrik*«d TortS. Th* Democmtio mu* meeting la Greenville oa the 28th iaat. wm eon- ducted la the moet orderly meaner, end the eadlenoe showed a thoroagh epyre oietion of the calm, deliberate argument* of the gentlemen who were appealing to their reason and common sense, not un dertaking to Inflame their passions or excite their prejudices. The court house was well Ailed when the speakers entered at 11 o’clock, and Immediately afterwards every seat wm occupied and many were standing in the «Mm. The ting wm called to order by Boa. J. Thos. Austin, county chair man, who requested Dr. T. M. McConnell, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, to make the opening prayer, In which the favor of God wm asked upon this country and its people, and that idl should be guided to the selection of God-fearing ana God-honorlng men to administer the affairs of this government. Chairman Austin said it wm a matter of regret that the inclement weather had kept so many from attending today, but he wm glad to greet the large audience here aaeembled, who are ready to hear argument upon the Issues before them The gentlemen who have come in an swer to our Invitation will argue the great question* with benefit to th* public^ and they are cKlalay and Mark Hanna want ‘n* to ids, aad Ihtn good bye—when they a foothold -to th* solid Boufn. Ha could not, would not, belisve that the substantial peopls of Grsenville would ever go into any such endeavor. He said Hanna aad McKinley, who werebicking np McLaurtn In thie matter would laugh at ns. (Vigorous applause ) Mr. H«.n- derson concluded with a story illustrat ing the wind np of this fight. It wm s new, clever and apt peroration He oonclnded amid not only choers, bat hand clapping. ccfc. enonaw Jonn»Tonn. K ded to a hearing of theae argument*. Hoa. John 5.

The Philippine la lead* are 10,CO) miles away to ly me for many year*.” He had not had a chance to reply to It before, and he gave some instance* where the Greenville Newe had done him nn injustice, refer ring Mpeoially to his recent speech at Wham’s Lawn, where Its correspondent •aid he got so flustrated when asked a J inaction that he did not know the dif- erence between expansion and ship sub sidy. He then went for McLanrin, who would not oome oat to meet hie, oppo- •nts, and mid the Hews wm constantly miarepreeenting him, while they were urging " fair treatment ’’ for McLanrin. Trace it down and youM find the Green- vUle poet office behind it. He did not want to go to the Senate if he wm not qualified. He then recounted what Mc Lanrin wanted them to do, which is to join the Republican party, and he invlt •d any one to deny this statement. Mc Lanrin wanted to go into the Repnbli can party. He touched upon the tariff and brought in the refusal of the Repub lioan majority to give the Charleston Exposition a cent. Latimer then disenssed " the Philip pine buBlnew.” He wanted to show what this doctrine Johnnie McLanrin wm teaching would do for the people before him. He repeated the two meth ods of expanxion pointed oat before, and gave the history of enseting trestles. When he said McLanrin never had an original Idea In hie life he was cheered vodferonsly. He gave s pungent ac count of McLsurin’s political acrobatic performances, and told how McLanrin, Strait and himself had been blacklisted in the poet office department ai^yash ington because they were Populists, aad he bsd caught np with it. Mr Hemphill. Mr. Johnstone and Senator Batler were the accusers, aad whan he asked for an opportunity to face theae gentlemen and the day had been appointed, McLanrin had flanked and gone home. He said * McLanrin had bailt his fort on Paris Mountain, fired a few abets down tbs line, aad when he heard that we were Be had new of e was aware em were bon One proposi is ship sub owing from enhehadal The iMt speaker wm ex Congressman George Johnstone, of Newberry, who ■aid tnat he appreciated the Invitation to speak in Greenville, where he had so of ten appeared in the ImI thirty years, and to whose people he is indebted for much kindness and courtesyWhen invited be wm pursuing his destiny as a private citizen. When the invitation came he felt that he wonld be antrne even to his country if he did not come. He wm in vited here, he conceived, to discuss an actuality and not a theory. He would therefore discuss actualities only. When he first heard of the propositions now submitted he thought them over, and carefully weighing the tacts he reached a conclusion. !.These thoughts are called the Commercial Democracy that many who pro! orable men and hom lion is expansion; the sidy, one dependent the other. Trne and hoi lowed were proposing them. When a missionary comes among yon, yon must find out who he is and from whence he comes. He wonld ask “for whom did yon vote in the last election ?” Let the answers be ‘'Wm McKinley." One men had said he hadn’t voted for anyone, bnt had hoped McKinley would be elected He had a*kcd himself whence were lhea« doctrines derived. They were from Alex ander Hamilton, the greaf opponent of ThouM Jefferson. Are the Democrats at this date to be called to adopt theae things V He wanted to tell the andience why neither he nor the people had been wrong in the pMt. Progressive and commercial in what was this Democracy? Commercial in the Federal offices of Booth Carolina as the small change In the transection I have wondered if oar people could be Ihua bought. I think not. When Alii- i anoe principle* were being pushed they thought that they were right. Some of! theae men now talking had been known I to aay who had ever heard < f Agricultural i yon can bfty it here ? Our tariff is o rating to m»kr a high b<>au market thought that equal rights aad no special J rlvllegee was American Democracy. Lr. John B Cleveland says that we have to Ship onr goods to Liverpool, and thence it's shipped to Brazil. Why ? Because the British manufacturer has studied the Brazilian country. He man- nfactures the goods into packs that can be put on the oacks of mules and taken into the jangles The vessel could bring beck coffee. Now, what has broken up the trade ? The Boer war, the famine in India and tha Chinese embroglib have distarbed the markets and destroyed them for the time being. Mr. Cleveland looks only at a temporary ailment as if it were a C ermancnt disease. Mr. Cleveland said e Wanted the Chinese and the Philip pine trade if we had to light for it. How can 70U establish trade and commerce by driving the people into the jungle ? War is destructive of commerce. They cannot get commerce through agencies that are destructive. Now, a word in conclusion. Whoever in Bouth Carolina imagines that wc have settled the race issue is prt>foumlly mis taken. The constitntion simply dams up the water for twenty years; nothin more There sits one who along wit me and all the members of the constitu tional convention helped to devise this plan. We tried by every power to solve this problem-. He described thetroubles of the convention in dealing with this vital problem Ilia picture of the Con federate soldier wno was ignorant, yet had to be cared fof, was exquisitely drawn. The school houses are turning out ne groea who are able to read and write, and there is no means when they come forward by which you can disfranchise them. When they come and you divide what then ? There is a deeper danger than domination—that of the white man being debauched by the filthy hunt for negro voters, crawling in the dust to get them As the' years go by the number will lie greater and greater. I do not say this in bitterness to the negro. But when you are asked to divide the while people of rtouth Carolina, point to Vir ginia with its Mabone. I ask you to crush out this effort to divide the white people *ith the gifts of patrorage as one means (o the end. vantages over other resorts >f the | master. The men were tried found world, he saw that the tide of tourist- travel, then flowing steadily to Cali lor* uia and to foreign countries, would speedily turn southward, could proper accommodation and transportation be furnished and the superior advantages of Ibis section be made known to the world. With him, to think was to act, and to-day the east coast of Flor ida can boast of a hotel and railway and steamship system which for com fort, elegance and style is unsurpassed by that of any other country on the globe. When Mr. Flagler first went to Flor ida this section was all a barren waste. There were no hotels, no railroads, uo thriving, prosperous ^settlements. Where Palm Reach now stands was but a gloomy backwoods ; the Magic City was unknown save to a few trad ers and the Scminoles; there was nothing here but oblivion, wild animals and insects.' To-day Henry M. Flagler pays near ly one-half of the taxes of Dade Coun ty, and there is no enterprise tending to the advancement of this section or its people that he does not substantial ly aid. Whether it be a church to be erected, n road to be built, or whatever it may be, Mr. Flagler is always to the fore. His hotel, railway and steam ship investments in Florida amounts to many millions of dollars, and be is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars here every year. • Mr. Flaghr is now a legal citizen of Palm Beach, having registered there last October.

The chief of the iH’e depart- j ment gives the credit fofthe efficiency 1 of his department to the promptness I and correctness with which the alarms and exact location of fires are trans mitted to the fire department by means of the telephone. Every telephone is ; a recognized fire-alarm signal. The | company also maintains for the city a police system, and police headquarters may be' promptly reached at any hour from any subscriber’s telephone in the Kansas, City Exchange. These fire and police connections widen the scope of tbe telephone, particularly for re sidence purposes, ami they are of special advantage to residence sub scribers.” . A medical journalj of Berlin says : Carbonate of iron mixed with sugar is st’rred into the mush fed to hens. The iron ultimately forms part of the eggs. The human beings who eat the eggs take the iron into their‘circulation in precisely the form needed for a tonic. Chemical analysis proves that the blood of those who eat the medicated eggs receives * considerable percentage of iron, and tbe most casual observation shows that their strength and health U improved.

In reply, Mr. Hemphill said if Dewey had Bailed out of Manila harbor aft«r he the Spanish fleet, no one 1 lues meir democracy, to disensa ship aubeidfte, . N. King asked him to tell it do with the Philippines. . Hemphill said if Dewey t of Manila harbor after he * Spanish fleet, no one wool<Tbe saying now that we ought to go back and take forcible possession of the city. He would get out of the islands as soon as a government is establlshtd that will suit the Filipinos. He heard of a man saying that if we left there France would be willing to give two billions of dollars for their posseeeion, and vet there was not a day in th* past two hundred yean that any great natibn coaid not have obtained their control, becaaae Spain was not in a condition to defend her title to the ialands. England did take possession of them one hundrad and twenty five yean ago, «hen it was trying to subjugate the American colon ise t hen struggling for freedom, bat England sold out for 18,000,000, just one- fourth of th* amount we paid for them. Mr. Bryan said that in buying the Philip pines we had paid twenty millions -of dollars for the option on a fight, and we th* fight. Mr. McLanrin was in [holding on to the islands, let rftA what it will in blood aad iphill told the bT whether to seshelm, cremat ad his reply waa, “Imb aad bury." This was what wished the people to do for delivered bto open ing speech in Msy. Mr. McLeurin had started out a short time ago and raiaed the issues and now when invited to meet his opponenU he was not here. The faculty would like to meet him in argu ment on hard facto, not generalities. These meetings had shown that the peo pie were not going to bo led away after false gods. He told a good sea story illnstrating the uselessness of commo tion. fna* snd feathers. The people had awakened to the sitnation and were looking into these matters Nobody wanted to abuse Mr. McLaurin. bathe would tell the truth. Then he took np the issues McLaurin had presented, and said that while presenting them he was shouting: “ I am a Democrat.” He wanted them to look into the facts about the preacher of these doctrinee. He vig orously presented McLsurin’s change of front on the treaty and proceeded to read the opposition speech of the junior Senator, which he made only a few days before the treaty was ratified. It waa demagogy to mix religion with expan sion. When McLaurin was a Democrat he had advocated what his opponents were now advocating. McLanrin had held ap to the country that the Democratic ty is dead; that it has no leaders, and t they should be routed out. Then he asked why he did not go to the State convention and tell his party these things ? That would have taken courage aad manhood. He then referred to the constitutional convention and said Mc- Lattrln was not willing to take the politi risks following tqe solving of the problem. He devote-d some explaining tbe fallacies of the for the new expansion. All the open door for our trade ynr missionaries.

Picture Christ in tbe uniform of a major general of the Amei'- ican army, tok.ng with him guns and ammunition to propagate the gospel of peace. I say this with all reverence. Can you do it ? No They say our Chi nese trade demands it If a nation comes to yon to lift you up aud give you self government, wouldn’t gratitnde accom piish more than anything else? They say we need a base of supplies Can t that be obtained in tae sauie way ? Cor tainly it can. That is not the only distinction be tween expansion and imperialism. Here we are, the foremost republic, on which all others are patterned. Our coustitu tion limits power. Unlimited power in the hands of any m#n soon becomes des tism. In the Philippines to-day there no human power, no written law that stands between the President and the Filipinos. The President has absolute power over life and death in theMslands There is flbt one power on this continent to day that stands to guard the married relation in the islands. Marriages -ev ery thing else there-can only be lega as the President permits. Are yon will log to give any man ou earth that pow er ? A military order from the President can annnl a marriage, take property from one and give to another. Is there more despotic power in the hands of the Czar of Russia, or any man ? And all this because you stand quiet and don’t want to do justice. That’s the new evau gel. I state to you the fact; you are the only jury. But they say that what is necessary to this trade is the ship subsidy. I will not go over the thoughts of other people They say that it will benefit sgriculture in the South. Every dollar I have is in vested in agricu ture. They say this will enable you to carry goods and sell them cheaper than other nations. If the gov ernment is to give nine’ millions a year to carry goods, let’s ask them if they are willing to donate that nine millions to tbe wages of factory operatives direct. If the operatives are to be benefited, than let os give the nine millions-to them Wonld they accept that propo- dfiem nfif'ftidn t they say that ft so- faet that jottoaa'fll ? lea t (t a known New York and ihW ytao, take it to receiving ft. ft back, and you can get it by oor-aoldiers.

Flagler began bis career as a day laborer in the logging camps of Ohio. *It was hard aud arduous toil, with many privations and disadvan tages, but they only served to de&eigg more fully the spirit of determinatioh and energy that has characterized Tub later life.

The moment Johnson turned bis head ‘Alexander leaped forward, grasped Foster’s re volver and shot Foster in the region o:’ the heart. He then turned the revolver on Johnson, bqt it missed fire aud tJie two men grappled A desperate struggle followed Foster, seriously wounded, pursued Alexauder and shot him in the abdo men. Alexander, seeing Foster about to shoot a^ain, swung Johnson around the bullet from Foster’s gun striking Johnson’s left shoulder from the rear passing through his neck and lodging in his jaw. Both men then drew their knives and made a most vicious assault on the assistant postmaster.

Postmaster McLellan an Odd Fellow, lived directly opposite the store. Startled from his sleep by the cry, he immediately came to Alexander’s re lief. Harry Mills and Gus Gates, two confederates of the robbers, who were on the outside, carried away their wounded companions. A short -dis tance from the store they met a hack- man, who they eompelled to carry them to a place in the lower part of the city, where they attempted to hide. Postmaster McLellan sounded un alarm. Officers tracked the men and arrested them at qn early hour in the morning. Alexauder was removed fo the hospital, where his life was des- laired of.
