J? i VOL. XIV. HOW TilKV TALKED At Sumter, Manning and Monck's Corner. A TWO WEEKS REST. A 8hort Synopsis of the Speeches , Made at Each of the Above Meetings by the Several Candidates. The nioeting i\t Sumlcr ou Tuesday week was attended by about 5UO peo|de. The candidates for railroad commissioner Bpoko lirst, Col. Wharton leading otf. They. were followed by the candidates for governor, Patterson opening. His speech was a modified rehash of the oharges he has boon making against the governor since the earn paign opened. MoSwecney followed, lie characterized tho charges of Patterson as too little to bo seriously discussed. He bad followed the custom of llagood and others iu taking the papers, lie was as successful a business man as Mr. Patterson and ho believed it a good investment. Patterson had not said anything about enforcement of tho law in Pamwell and Bamberg and in Sumter. Col. lloyt followed. Ho said that Patterson was proaching that the disponsury is prohibitive, and in tho next breath ho says that thcro aro uioro blind tigorB than ever before. Patterson has mado such gravo and serious charges that MoSweoncy ought to b3 irnpoached, bcoauso he reads newspapers and has newspapor men on his statf. (Laughter.) Col. Hoyt admitted that tho disponsary law is better than barrooms. Ho had always worked for the enforoomcnt of tho law, and ho could onforco it bolter than any of tho olhor (n candidates. Ho denied tho chargo of coalition. Would Patterson reject tho support of a reputablo newspaper? Did MoSwecncy's appointing two of his staff from Tho Stato tllioe influcnoo that paper? It is not supporting him. Ho said that from his youth up he had opposed high lioonso. Patterson asked what about his position last fall? Iiovt explained that ho had advooatcd tho prohibitionists uniting with other forces to tear down tho dispensary and put it ill an election where nrnhihitimi mnnU toko its chances. U. Walt Whitman began to tiro at a retiring crowd. llo said Columbia blind tigers arc jealous of Charleston's opportunities. It is Bolf-deiuonstrativc that the dispensary law is not being onforced. it is not being ouforced in tho dispensaries themselves. Ho had helped to bring about the reform rnovomcut and it hadn't done any good, for taxes arc a fourth higher notwithstanding tho dispensary profits. Ho mado no ohargos, but it looks "doaperatoly suspicious" where all tho money goes. Ho said tho dispensary law was not boing enforced, but if clooted ho would onforco the law if blood flowed like a river. He was followed by Cary, who mado ono of his characteristic speeches. Ho harped on tho blind tigers. Ho said that Col. Hoyt had never shown how prohibition could be onforood without a oonstabulary; and whero was he to ob tain tho rovonuo? lie advocated having tcxtilo schools wherevor practicable and having tho gate between common sohools and oollegos closed. In reply to a question if tho Cary family had not onjoyed tho offices in South Carolina, against the platform in 18'JO favored by Ben Tilliuan, ho asked, "Did not they deserve it?" The candidal s for lioutcnan' govcr nor then had thoir inning. Col. Knox Livingston spoko first, Ho had reprosonted a county which has been prohibition for 60 years. When tho Childa bill?a hybrid measure?was introduced ho proposed a substitute, a genuine prohibition bill. It was killod. Ho had voted for tho Archer looal option bill. Ho is still prohibitionist. Mr. Winkler said that Gladstone advooated tho disponsary systom. Col, Sloan spoke of some of Sumter's gahant sol diera. Mr. Bleaso made a briof Bpccch as it was getting late. Col. Tillman then spoke. Gen. Bellinger was not presont, but his opponent Moore spoke. Dr. Timmerman and Capt. .Jennings discussed their roBpeotivo capabilities for the office of State treasurer. Derham and Brookcr rooked along as usual. There was no spioo in th?:.?<. MoMahan was not here add Gapers did not spoak at long/A. Gen. Floyd ;.nd Capt. ltouso spoke, and eaok was ploasantly received. jgTOro was uuito an extended colloquy botweoq^BP'lroukor and Treasurt ?J), E. Kcoiwn Sumter, in whioh the latter doniod some of Mr. Brookor's statements regarding nulla bona taxes in this eounty. THE MANN1NO MEETING. The orowd at this plaoo surpassed all for enluranoe. The pyroteehnios started at 11 o'olook and lasted nearly seven hours. There wore about 700 in in tho crowd when it was largest, and when it eonoluded were at least 200. MoSweency led ciT. He referred to his suoooas as a business man, and said he had tried to give a business man's administration. IIo believed that ho had done more for the disponsary than had been accomplished by any other governor. Ho had selooted his constabulary oarefully. Tho men who were making flimsy charges against him jnst wanted to got into offioe. MoSweeney had been reoeived Without demonstration, but was cheered when he reoited his stand in the Pons oase. He denied that he had failed to enforoe ^ the lawg 1 Charleston. He did not jj^. claim tlj3 orcdit for finding,''Black" pa ? pern, but tho papers wcro found on his recommendation. It is absolutoly untrue that ho has any connection with Charleston blind tigers, and they will vote for him as a busiuoss man. Charlostou will support Bon Tillman, too. Col. Hoyt said he had boon a business man twice as long as MoSwoonoy and novor mado a failure. Ho then roviowed tho onactmont of tho disponsary law. Thero waH mors rowdyism in barrooms than in disponsarios, but barrooms woro numorous. Ho had protested against tho enaotuient of the disponsary law, but when it was passed he had always urged its enforcement. Prohibition may nave failed to prohibit, but beoause most of tho town oounoil, were not in sympathy with it. A prohibition govornor can do nothing without a prohibition legislature. "Trot out a dispensary man," shouted somebody, and Col. Hoyt introduced Walt Whitman, who made his customary speeolf and rotircd. Cary occasioned somo laughter by telling of his being taken for Tillman in Charleston, and in oonsequoncc tho blind tigers wero frightened. Tbo govornor ought to havo tho blind tigers afraid of him, too. Why, if a few constables can enforoo tho law, has the governor recently inorcascd the force in Charleston from four to ten. lie then made his customary speech. (Jary was warmly applauded. Patterson spoke from the deck of a wagon. lie said he was not afraid of the sun, but had been sick, llo made his samo phonographic reproduction. MoSwocnoy said tho oontingont fund was 10 bo expended at tho disorotion of the governor. Patterson roplicd that the pcoplo had better put mon in tho legislature who could limit his expenditures or he would pay for all he ate and drank out of tho fund. At tho conclusion of his spoooh thoro woro cries of "Givo him uioro timo," "Go on," "More wool," etc. llo spoko an hour and a quarter. Mr. Winklor was tho noxt speaker. He was followed by Col. Sloan, who spoke under difficulties from a oold. Blcaso made a now spccoh advocating tho disponsary. It is tho bost form of Jim Tillman mado a dofonso of tho newspapers. Ho made no protest booausc they oould not print tho speeches in full. Ho had been a newspaper man himself and ho had yet to soo tho reputablo nowspapcr man who would intentionally misrnnrnnAnt ?n? man Ho thoD said that if Col. Livingston wants to rnako a propor fight why doesn't ho rosign his plaoo as senator from Marlboro oounty ? IIo was loudly applauded. Col. Livingston said if ho had nover on joyed the contidonoo of Marlboro ho would not have tho faoo to aspiro to buoIi a high and honorablo ])laoo as that of lioutonant governor. Ho did net think tho liquor question would bo sottled until tho pooplo voto on it direct ly. .Judge <). II. Moore, oandidato for attornoy gonoral, said that tho polico looking for blind tigors is a joke in Charleston, lie chargod that tho highest looal officer in tho Stato will not sot tho machinery in motion to stop tho blind tigers. Con. Hcllingor waH not hore today. Dr. Timmorman and Capt. .Jennings had no row in their oandidaoy for Stato troaeurer. Brookcr and Dorham discussed finances until the audicnoo beoamo all muddled. MoMahan and Capers jolliod each other good naturodly. Kaoh made a good improssion and votos. Capt. llouso and Gen. Floyd disoussod tho quostion whothor or not a young man should bo adjutant goncral. Harney Hvans said that tho railroad commission has reduced tho rato on brick, probably booauso Hill Ncal had gono into tho briok business. Mr. Horry ronowed his advooaoy of prohibition. Mr. Pcttigrow referred to his visit to Clarendon as Allianoo organizor. W. D. Mayficld thought commissioners should bo clootod ovory twoyoars and bo paid out of Stato funds instead of by railroads. W D. Kvaos replied to tho ohargos of his opponents and indulgod in sotno pleasantry. Tho roduotion of tho rato on briok was offered on aooount of tho building of faotories. Kthoridgo had boon homo sick, but arrivod tonight. TilK HERKKLEY MEETING. The uampaigu mooting Thursday was hold in the court houso atMonck'sCornor. Tho court ho'J.SC was orowdod, a number n^wadies boing prosent, also hoc- .',v(' - I Thoro was slight applauso wht-ir ?-?jVney was prosontod. Ho had been o?11<m t0 Columbia and was permitted to spow.i>_first so that hooould j catoh tho train. IIo salu tb*t ho expooted his rooord to bo\ ."^0ked on llimsy oharges and ho urgod the orowd to roviow his rooord and givo him a lair showing. No governor oan onforce the law in Charleston until ho works up a sentimont for thtf dispensary law. Mor Sweeney spoke with more spirit today. He was generously applauded. The oandidatos for lieutenant governor spoke next, Col. Sloan loading, Col. Hleaso followed. made a bit with his jokos. Col. Tillman was applauded. Col. Livingston referred to the fields of Eutaw and St. Stephens nearby. His speeoh was a poem. Col. Winkler eonoluded the list for this office. Dr. Timmorman exhibited the gold watoh given him by the sonators when he was lieutenant governor. His services as State treasurer had been asaooeptablo. Ho had headed the ticket from Edgefield oounty for the house in 1890 by U00 votes when ho really was not a candidate. He was popular with the ladios. (Laughter.) Capt. Jennings said no was popular with the ladies too. Had not boon married twioe like Dr, Timmorman, and had married the prettiest girl in tho oountry. They nave H not 40 V t Hjflfl CONWAY. S. ( children as ho said at Bamberg. (Laughter.) Comptroller General Derhaui said ho was under a $110,000 bond to do his duty, aud how oould ho violate tho law in 111 particulars as ohargod by Brookor? Tho latter had claimed that Dr. Wiggins, troasuror of Borkcloy oounty, had had irregularities aggregating nearly $1,500. Dcrham olaimcd that not a dollar of shortago had boon found, aud tho sottlomont was made in tho proscuoo of tho foreman of the grand jury, superintendent c 1' education aud others. It was unfair to bring such charges against a man when thoy cannot bo substantiated in tho oourts. (l>orham was loudly applaudod ) Brookor charged that Troasuror WigirSnu and S*l?nn fV M areSann tnah 1.1 ?!??.? f>'"" WU4..1 *?W. ' TTVU.U ftlVU cvidcnco that tho books had not boon closed and adjusted for 10 yoars. Ilo had not charged shortages, but there woro irregularities. Brookor bcoatno heated, and ho and Dorham disputed warmly. Ho said that no settlement had boon mado in this county to tho comptroller general in 18 months. ShorilT Morrison was called into cvidonoo. Ho said that all executions placed in his hands had been returned or collected as provided by law. Auditor Wiggins wanted to know why the expert sent hero by Brookcr had reported not a dollar of irregularities. Thcro were orics of "Turn on tho light," "Hurrah.for Dorham" and other interruptions, and Brookcr ooncludod amid confusion. MoMahan made au earnest speech in behalf of better common schools surrounded by publio spirited communities. Mr. Dollay asked if tho constitution does not prohibit othors than thoso botweon the ages of t! and 21 from receiving money for education. MoMahan replied that it docs not oxoludo others. Mr. DoHay, a member of the constitutional convention, claimed that thcro was such an exemption, and it is unlawful for teachers to roooivc school funds to pay their expenses. MoMahan?Head tho constitution. You aro mistaken in your construction. Capers was not hero today. Gen. Floyd promised his opponent, Dr. House, a commission in tho army in China or tho Philippines. (Laugh tui. ) Dr. Rouse said that Charleston has been a noncnity for years. Ho appoaled for Charleston to havo a chance. Ho invited thom all to Charleston to tho lovo feast during the exposition. Tho candidates for railroad commissioner woro out down to live minutes today on their own motion. Mr Horry pullod tho prohibition throttle, Senator* Pottigrow shoveled in cheap rate coal, Mayfiold openod exhaust steam valve, VV. D. Evans rang the past rocord boll, Mr. Ethcridgc stopped for hot box, Col. Wharton blew tho oow olf tho traok, Harney Evans gave a long blast for tho station, and the train pulled up for an excellent dinner which was served by the ladies iu the shape of a basket pionio. Col. Hoyt was tho first spoakor after dinner. Ho was listened to attentively. Tho namo of Hon Tillman was ohoored whon Col. Iloyt urged tho pooplo of Horkoley to go to tho polls in Novembor as suggestod by Tillman. Ilomado ahurriod speech as ho wanted to catoh tho spooial train. None of his opponents would go boforo tho women in opposition to prohibition. Ho congratulated tho Stato on tho amity ' concord and said that even Walt Whitman has let up on Hon Tillman. Walt Whitman was roceivcd with ohcers. Ho advocated tho dispensary, amusing and entertaining tho crowd. Ho rcnowed his statement that tho beer dispensary at tho Islo of Palms is open on Sunday. Gary was rcocivod with an ovation. His speech was moro aggrcssivo than any yet. Ho tacklod "My deat Appolt" for oharging that too manflg Garys arc holding office, and tho oroJff 1 yollcd it? appreciation. Tho crowd soomcd solid for Gary. Patterson adjourned tho crowd to tho yard of tho court houso, whero ho occupied a wagon. Ho mado his usual effort. Ho was almost silently roecivcd and thero woro yolls for Gary all through his spoooh. This winds up tho first quarter of tho oamp&ign. hllovon oountios hav? boon visitod.

World roportors interviewed t a majority of those present at tho oonfcronoo Thursday and the oonsensus of j opinion was that Bryan would bo on- r dorscd. t.

( Tac solo question was to deoido wheth- j ier it would be hotter to support Biyan i or plaoo a national tiokct in tho tield. Thore was a difforonoo of opinion as i to the policy to bo pursuod in aooom- , plishing tho dofcat of MoKinloy. Several of the spoakers bolievod that tho loaguo should adopt its own platform and mako its own tiokot. For four hours thcro was discussion on this subject. Eaoh speaker was listoned to at- c tontively, but Carl Sohurz's speech was ( tho koynoto of tho oonferonco. It was * to this cffcot: c IIo urged that tho anti-imperialists i mako thoir powor felt by holding a oon- } vonuon at wmon an men or all parties 1 who aro opposed to imperialism could 1 be hoard. It might be neoossary to 1 mako a platform of a single plank, that 1 denouncing the imperialistic steps t taken by tho prosont administration, i No prioo would bo two high to rVvo tho J country from the onUngling allianoos ( and unconstitutional methods into f whioh it has boon plunged. Mr. Sohurz warmly contended that nothing should bo dono until after tho 8 Demooratio national convention. Ho ' spoke for half tin hour, donounoiug the ' administration for its imperialistic pro- <} olivitios, and While ho did not mention ? supporting Bryan, his advice to wait t until after the Kansas Oitv oonvention I was regarded as* friendly to the man who will bo tho Democratic candidate. Mr. Sohurz was applauded as he took his scat. Edward L. (Jorser, representing the silver or Linooln Kepubl cans; * advocated the ondorsomont of Bryan as i the host weapon with whioh to defeat } MoKinloy. His reamrks were well re- e oeived, ospeoially whon he said; 1 William J. Bryan may taate bad to 1 some of you gentlemen, but' pe would I rest easier on your stomaohi) thar would William MoKinloy." : Edwin Burritt Smith, oha'rmnn of I the executive oommittee of th* league, spoke next. He said: "The independent vo+va of the eoun- a try are unitod in the pres- 1 ent J^uio dif- ( ferenoe V r ^ ?ourso i Jf m',4 & * i --< * ' '>; fieval 9 r i i\i\i \ i), i;jw/. ovo that if a basis for united aotion au bo roaohed tho independent voto ill dcoido tho next presidential clooion, as it has dooided tho last four or vo national clootions. Tho purposo of iio convention suoh as Mr. Sohurz prooscs is to unito the anti-iwporialistio otcrs against tho re-oleotion of Mr. loKinloy, 1 am oonftdont that suoh a onvention would bo followod by suo oss." Kx-Uov. Boutwell, who was soorctary f tho troasury undor President Grant, an a United States senator and govrnor of Massaohusotts, spoko to tho amo effept, urging united aotion of the adopendont voto throughout tho oounry. Ho favored tho adoption of Mr. iohurz's resolution calling for a liborty ODgrOSB. 8omo of the speakers suggested that oommitteo bo Hont to tho Kanaay City on vontion to roquost tho oommittoo on esolutious to adopt a oonoiliatory platorm in roforonoo to the monoy quosion, bo that those who supported Motinley in 189G oould conscientiously upport Bryan this yoar. Aftor discussion on this point, it was coidcd not to sond tho oommittoo, but ovcral of thoso preBont at tho oonfernoo said that they would ationd tho )cinooratio national oouvontion to urge ho nooossity of making a platform upn which all could unito. it was said aftor the mooting that ven should tho Chicago platform bo flirmod tho anti-imporialists oould tand on tho platform plank whioh will nako all tho difforouoo in tho world to horn botwocn MoKinloy and Bryan and n favor of tholattor oandidato. Many short spooohos woro made and nany questions woro askod as to tho test method for aousing tho indepndnt votors to the issuo undor oonsidoraion. The opinion was gonoral that all ho various leagues, tho silvor forces, ho many patriotic olubs scattered ovor ho country should bo askod to join in ho movement. Tho last speaker was Uoprosontativo Mcining of Georgia, who endorsed tho osolution whioh had been put boforo ho mooting by Mr. Bohurz and it was >assod unanimously.

N>?rt'i - t THE CASE OF CHINA. The Hot Attack of an Imperialist on McKinloy. It in interesting to road in tho Philadelphia Timos, an iuiporialiHt Kopublioan paper, this hot attaok on tho administration's Chineso policy: Every truo American will read the storv of tho slaughter of our marinos at tho gates of Pokin with indignation and rage, not against the Chineso who aro dofonding thoir oountry from invasion and fighting to tuaintian tho in tegrity of thoir soil from spoliation by tho great powers of Europo, but against the administration at Washington whioh has unlawfully, by an act of imperial usurpation, sont American troops to mako war on a foreign oountry. Tho Chinoso. in opposiug with all thoir might tho soldiers of tho powers who aro invading thoir oountry on tho protonso of defending thoir citizens from a mob, aro doing just what wo or any othor oivilzod nation would do. At various timos tho lives of citizens of othor oountrios havo boon sacrificed to mob fury in this country, hut had King Humbert, Kmporor Francis Joseph or Kaiser William sent an army hero to dofond or to protect his subjocts wo would Ii&to killed evory man that ho landed, and it would not havo boon murdor, but righteous war. Wo havo no moro right to sond troops to China than (jueon Victoria has to sond her soldiors to St. Louis if Knglishmon's livos aro imporilod in riots thoro: but if it woro necessary to doolaro war on China tho nrosidont has no authority to do it. Wo oan havo and will have no part in tho partition of China. Wo havo no buBinosa thoro. Fngland lias wont hor troop* and warships thcro to provont Russia from gottiug too groat an advantage, and tho adminiatration at Waahington ia holping Kngland in pursuit of aotno actual or impliod agrcomont. This ia humiliating onough, but worao atill ia the faot that in doing this tho proaidont has committed an act of outrageous usurpation which would ho indofonsiblo in a constitutional monarchy and is worthy only of thoozar of Russia or tho shah of Roraia. For no nogroator offonso against constitutional govcrnmont Gcorgo III. lost an cmpiro and Charles 1. his head. No matter what Mr. MoKinloy's motives may bo, his usurpation of tho prerogatives of oongross cannot bo too quioklyor too strongly condemned. If ho oan ovorrido tho constitution undor any nrotenso whatovor without boing called aharply> to aocount, any other prosidont oan do tho samo and send troops into any foroign country, involved us in war, just or unjuHt, overriding tho libortios of tho pooplo and paving tho way for tho ovorthrow of our cov ornuicnt.

Hanna and Roosevelt. 1'eriup* '.ire most aoto oritio of the tfl recent Republican oon\motion is tho ^ Boston correspondent of tho Spr.ngfield j\Si Republican. He does not take-WJoh,, stock in Uoosovelt, but sternly declare* that ho is "coming out of tho wretohed wranglo shorn of those poaoook plumes of self-will and swelling independence, which were a good part of his commendation to the Amerioan voter. To know your own mind and stiok to it is one sure passport to confidence; the doubleminded man, unstable in all his ways, losos ground everywhere as soon as his wcaknoss is rooognized. One reason why Hanna stands well with the convention is that ho says what he wants, with brutal frankness. This will probably oost his party tho vote of Ohio this ynar -but it strengthens him in a mass of wiro-puUers who mostly have o mind of their own, exoopt to get what they oan for themselves, and their peonniary backers."
