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.

his rooord to bo\ ."^0ked on
llimsy oharges and ho urgod the orowd
to roviow his rooord and givo him a lair

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

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

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

Novembor as suggestod by Tillman.

Walt Whitman was roceivcd with
ohcers. Ho advocated tho dispensary,
amusing and entertaining tho crowd.
Ho rcnowed his statement that tho

by Carl Sohurz at tho anli-iuipe^ialitio a
oonvontion which mot lastwook^in Now e

"Resolved, That to tho end of carrying
into ctfcot our condemnation of j,
the imperialist policy of tho adminis- b
tration, the oxcoutivo committee of tho
American anti-iuiperialiBt league bo in- d
Htruetod to issuo a oall for a goneral *

As tho result of this resolution, a oon- t
frrcnoo will bo hold in ChioaA) early j
this week, when a dato will bo fixed
for a Liborty congress, whiof. will bo i:
hold in Chicago, Indianapolis or Cin- \

pamo timo. Tho congress will probably t
bo bold about tho drat of August and t
to it will bo invited all tho independent ^
organizations whioh are opposed to im- ^
pcrialism. 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.
"Anything to beat MoKinlcy," was .
tho battlo cry of tho Amo^an antiiinpc
rialist lcaguo in oonfer' eo Thurs- j
day in tho l'laza hotel. . 10 lcaguo y
was rcprcsontod by its loadiug mom- r
bors and tho meoting was an exooutivo r
ono. Throe methods of action woro
disousHod. Thoy woro:
1. Tho ondorsomont of Bryan. /
2. A lcaguo tioket on a loaguo platform.
?
2. By throwing tho influence of tho
lcaguo in favor of congressional nomi- .
ncos known to bo anti-imperialists.
"No prico wofcld bo too mu|fa to pay
to defoat imperialism," s^id darl
Sohurz in tho oonfercnoo. His hearers j
ondorscd tho sentiment. Thoy camo j
from all nartS of tho oountrv and worn
mostly Republicans and Domoorats
who voted for MoKinloy in 18(.H>. Among
them wcro:
Kx-Gov. Gcorgo 8. Boutwoll of Boston,

Tho object of tho oonfcronce was to
discuss tho '(uostion of holding a na- .
tional liberty congross or conferonco. (
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

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.
Tho oonferonoo adjourned aftor takrg
this notion and tho oommittoo to

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. Lot Mr. MoKinloy tako
warning. Tho blood of ovory Amorioan
Holdicr alain in China in on hit* head,
and tho Amorioan nation will demand
a reckoning from him for this and
cvory unlawful and unconstitutional
aot. Tho last sontonoo of this doubloloadod
oditorial is printod in black letter

Tho prosidont has assignod Gonoral

July with tho sixth cavalry. This detachment
sails on tho Grant which has
boon ordorod to touch at Nagasaki for

tho ship will then sail diroct for Cho

A speoial dispatch from Lanoastor to

A. Kstridge of the wostorn section of
that county, was struck by lightning aftor

Tho other members of tho
family were severely shooked. The
house was badly damage, every glass in
the windows being broken.
A Vain Appeal.
The six groat viceroys of China, noting
through tho Chineso minister renewed
their efforts to have foroign
troops kept out of China until hi Hung
Chang reaches Pekin. flhe requost
was a formal dooument signed by the
six viooroys, inoluding Li ilung Chang.
Tho answer of the United States government
was the same as that to the formal
request of Minister Wu and
amounted to deolination.

Other Details of v,
the Battle.
Dispatch froui London says tho composite
brigado of 2,300 mon who raised
the invostmont of Tien Tain and pushed
on to holp Admiral Hoymour has probably
saved him. Tho latest stoamer
arriving at Chofoo from Taku brought
this message, dated Tien Tsin, Monday,
.luno 2.">:
"Tho Russian general in command of
tho roliof foroo had dooided, in view of
Saturday's heavy fighting and inarohing,
that one day's rest for tho troops
was essential and that the advance
should not bo roaumod until today.
Meanwhile eamo Admiral Soymour'fl
helioirranh that his nosition was d?n
porato and thai ho could only hold out
two dayH. Tho roliof Btartod at dawn
Monday."
Saturday's fighting bogan at daybreak.
Tho alliod forcoa opened with
aovcral of tho Torriblo's 4-7 naval gum,
aix field guna and numoroua maohine
guna, tho firing boing at long rango.
They continued to advanoo stoaaily, the
ChinoBO artillery replying. The guns
of tho allioa were inoro skillfully
handled and put tho guna of tho Chinese
out of action ono by ono, tho Chinese
rotroating about noon.
Thcro was koon rivalry among the
roproaontativoa of tho various nations as
to whioh would ontcr Tion Tain first,
and tho Auiorioana and British went in
nook and nook. Tho Russians stormed
tho araonal, thoroby sustaining the
largoat loaaoa. Several thousand Japancao
havolofiTaku for Tion Tsin, and
altogothor 114,000 .Japanoao have landod.
Tho international troops now aggregate
nearly 20,000, and Japan is preparing
to aond 20,000 moro. With
British, Amorioan and othor troops
ordered to go, probably 00,000 will bo
availablo in a month. \
The Tong Shan rofugoos and the for ^
oign onginocra at Chofoo ostimate the
Ciiinoao troops now in tho fiold as 25,000
troops at Iju Tai, 25,000 at Shang Hai
Wan, 15,000 drivon off fromTion Tsin
and 150,000 at l'ekin. Thodiapatoh reooivod
by tho foreign offioo stating that
tho foreign legations were roquosted to
loavo l'ckin within a specified time ia
intorproted in aotno unoflioial quartera
aa tantamount to giving tho ministers
thoir passports and to deelaration of
war, but aa China does nothing like
other oountrios, tho official opinion is
that thoro ia nothing to do but to wait
tho courao of ovonta and to aoo what the
uiinintora themselves say when they
aro rcaouod.
All tho students at tho foroign hospitals
in Canton aro loaving. Womon missionaries
aro roturning from the West
rivor porta. Thoro was a slight disturbance
at Wo Chou Tuesday while the
womon woro embarking. Tho orowd
shoutod, "Kill tho foroign dovils." A
dispatch from Tsin 'lan says that the
Protostant mission at Woih Sein was
burnod down by robots Monday night
last.
A special dispatch from Chofoo says:
"Tho fight of tho alliod foroes against
tho oombincd Hoxors and Chinese
soldiers barring tho road to Tien Tsin
oponod at day broak. One hundred and
fifty Amoricans wero among the 2,000
international troops. Tho Chinese
soon broke undor hoavy shotting and
and thon tho arsonal was attaoked and
tho guns woro gradually silenced. The
fight was praotioally over at noon.
Tho (iorman consul at Chefoo con
firms tho oontonts of tho mossego from
Vioo Admirl Soymour whioh reaohed
Tion Tsin Monday saying ho was then
eight inilos oastvrard of that oity, terribly
harassod, oould only hold oat
anothor two days and had 63 men killed
and ovor 200 wounded and adds that
tho admiral askod for tho dispatoh of a
relief column of 2,000 men. This
column loft Tien Tsin during tho morning
of Juno 2f> undor Russian command.
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."
