:* na?mmu1??i The Congressional Candidates. In accordance with the nppointmen made by the. Seneca Convention, tin candidates for Congress?or (woof then ?met the voters of Abbeville Countj face to face on last Saturday. The tun out was a good one and a rospoctfu hearing was given the speakers. Th< speaking took place in the Court House and the meeting was presided over b} Hon. W. C. Bene!, County Chairman. Col. H. W. Simpson of Anderson, was the first speaker, and in introducing him Mr. lionet asked the assembled audiencc to give nun a patient hearing. i Hat these gentlemen had been invited here to discuss the intercuts, not alone of Ahboville County, but of the Third Congressional district. This was one; of the fruits of the primary election, and tht people had the right to hear the different measures discussed. He stated that two of the camlidatct were unavoidably absent. Judge Cot ran was holding court in the Fourth Jo dicial District, and Cid. Johnstone had been called ' o Kewberry by telegrums 4 on important business. Col. Simpson was then introduced as a candidate from a neighboring county, whose father before him had held the high position, to which he now aspired, anil as a gentleman who hut! won the confidence of his nativn county. Col. Simpson started ott' by saying that it was with "rent diflidencc that he appeared be fore an Abbeville audiencc to solicit their suffrages for Representative in Congress, for he was mindful ot the high character and distinguished merit of the honorable gentleman who had been named for tho position fiom this County. He, liowevei, had received the endorsement of his own county, and he felt that he would be untrue to himself and his county, did he f.iil to respond to their call, lie proposed very briefly to discuss what were considered the live issues in this campaign. One of the most important issues in this campaign was what was known as the Civil Service Reform. That plank had been placed in the Democratic platform. N tional and SiMte, und he would have u> stand on it. His individual belief, however. was that under a Democratic administration, the olli.'es should be liiletl by those who were in accord with Dei. ocratic principles. With regard to trie tat ill'bo snid that the issue was as old as the Democratic party itself. His Jirst remembrance of this subject -vas incorporated i:i tinplatform in these words : "A t.uilf for revenu", and for re\enue only." That whs the principle upon winch ho now Rtoud, and was absolutely opposed to any measure that would tite u-w and oppress the ninny. It. was !???. democratic. The TuriH' should be reformed with prudence ami sagacity, and the strengthening of the Democratic party should be considered in its reformation. The "Blair Educational P/ill'' was next discussed by the speaker, and he ex. pressed himself as being in favor of this measure provided it came to us uutramolled with any conditions. To accept it otherwise would amount to no more than selling for u few millions, what tin whole force of the Fedeinl army could not wrest from us?our State sovereignty. The Silver Question was an important matter. lie was in favor of the coinage of silver, but thought it should be done in such a way as not to affect the value of our currency. ' These were the important measures, but in his view there were other evils to bo .corrected. Governor Hampton had struck the key note of the situation when he said that the hard times and the feeling of uniest amongst the laboring classes was due to unjust legislation. National and State, and to the reckless expenditure of the people's money. lie thought that th:j government . should prohibit the dealing in futures and attributed to this iniquitous practice much of our depresssion. Some measures should be passed for the benefit of the'luboring classes, for the Government can build us up or tear us down. He thought the undue influence of foreign governments should be guarded against and was opposed to- the enormous collection of tuxes merely to put it in tho Treasury. He thanked the audience for their at> teiition ami promised to serve them to the bust of his ability if culled upon to do so. Mr. Bci.et then introduced Col. James N. Lip-comb as the "Old War Horse," and State campaigner. Speech of ->lr. Lipscomb. . v - Mr. Lipscomb in behalf of himself I.:* r-: J ...i... i. .1 2-.-? UIIU inn it'im ? IUJ nn'i just |)R'C(3(il! this exCesa of leg islation. It made the putting up of job.? too easy. The Patent laws, ho thought needed revising, so as not to allow t man to charge too much for his patent He baid that if .sent to Congress, hi would feel bound t"> vote for a just pent sion bill, for pensioning Union soldiers, , but. would oppose the reckless expenditure of the public money in this direc ' tion. Me thought the agricultural interr. ests of the country had b?en sadly negi lected by the federal Government. and i :mv no reason why that interest should not. bo represented by a head in the 1 Cabinet, lie agreed with Gov. Hanip? ton in his assertion concerning the unr rest of labor. The speaker then took up the questions of Civil Service, Tariff Education and Silver, and expressed about the same views as Colonel Siuip son. ? Me then thanked the audience for L their attention, and said that tlin onlv guaranty he could give them, if called upon to represent them in Congress, was his record i i the past. Mr. lionet then announced that the speaking was over ami thanked the audience for the patient hearing they had given the speakers. A Negro Shot. Ailam Bradley a negro about town got .nto a difficulty with some members of his lamily on yesterday morning. In the melee Adj?m drew a pistol, which was discharged, the ball entering Adam's abdomen.
