BEAU1-'Oler, Sept. 9.-Tonight the Democratic voters of Beaufort, about 200 in number, all the attendants at t court, and many ladies of the town gathered in the grounds of the Sea Island hotel, and, with the assistance of an excollent brass band, called btren4uously for J udgo Earle. The piazza of the hotel was crowded with ladies when Judge Earle stepped out and faced a crowd that probably contained every white voter in the town. When the cheering upon his appearance had consed .1udge Earle begant to speak and d uring his short address Was interrupted often by eters. Judge l'aric stid : " Friends and Fellow Citizens : I tiank you for tis (e1msOmtration of good will. I feel hIighly honored by voiIIr presence in such numbers. I was not liVi leged to be )reseit and ad (Irtess yout inl tite canvass when othetri s met, here, as I was obliged to h absent, 't the perforitaice of my dui ties. To night I have thte opport,unity not of seeing you, for it is too dark for that, but of hearing your hearty elceers. for which I feel grateful. My friends say to mue that I am elected. but I say to them 'Dont't count. your ch ickens before tlhey are hatched , but whether elected or defeated I am proud of the votes I have received. l'his campaign and this election has been remarkable in many respects. It is the first prilmary in wIch there has been a direct Vote for the noiniatiot (if lIn ited States Senator, and that is a highl privilege for the people. HaebI v'oter is sovereigI, and wheI he votes ie taxes part in that which is for tite weal or- woe of the whole peonle. l Ienee the returns arc significant. The returns show that the people are not to be dictated to by atty tttan. We are reaching the time when merit Wins and no man will have to ask any man's consent to enter the race. " Por several years the white peo ple have been divided in this State into two factions. I have tried as best I could to bIeing these two factions toget-her and at times I have despaiired of its ever being accomplished, but to night I feel encouraged, for I believe the Democratic party has coue togreth oir. This is neithter a Conservative nor a Itefo'Im victory, because I am the candidate of no faction, but an a i De mocrat, and am for the good of the whole people of th is grand old Stato: and if I shall be honored by b.:ing electe!d to 'the Senate I will endeavor to work out certain reforms which I believe to be necessary to the welfare of the peo pil.' Judge Earlo Eald he believed the first of these to be a tarif ftor revenue only and that lie thought the question of finance of great importance. He protcded to state tat lie was for the free anld unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, and gave in brief his reasons for his belief. He hoped 3ryan would be gloriously elected and that all the necessary legi'slation woul J be passed which would return to the people the prosperity they should have, but if McKinley was elected the Lord have mercy upol us, for we will get no mercy from the government. He then proceeded : " I thank you for this compliment paid me and if elected I promise you to do my whole duty to the whole pco ple of the State as long as I am a mem ber of the Senate." The conclusion of the speech was cheered long and repeatedly. Until a late hour' last night and all today Judge IEarle has been receiving tole grains containing returns and con giratutlations. Ills extreme cootlness in rece'oiving the exciting returns has been amiazing and one would hardly think hie was other than a disinterestedl ob' servet'. lie has not been conlident of htis election at all. l{IG~lh'z OlI"FICIAI, MAJOltlTY.
