C. o: p4 Tuesda), July 30,- -895 re Tenporizing. 0 iE We have repeatedly asked what is to be put into the new Constitution, and a nobody has given us a satisfactory answer. - We had hoped that Senator ti Tillman would throw some light on 0: the question as to how the suffrage w question should be solved. He has ti spoken, and what does he propose? m He above all others was instrumental V in having this call made for the con- 3 veution, and all along has laid great ti stress upon the fact that, a!though the Democrats have hid control of the se State Government for a number of 01 years, they have never done anything m towards settling th3 suffragc. Ie de- y manded a convention, talked about the n< organic law in the most profuse style, K abused the old '"Radical Rag" which has been banging over as since 1868, V1 and declare -that it was time f.>r the v4 Democrats to settle the "ne.aro que- st tion," His ple:& for a Constitutional Convention was heard by the people, T and a conventi - has .beei lled "to settle the sfftage question." But, after all the fuss and fume raised by m Mr. Tillman, what kind -of a settle- re ment does he offer to the people?

Fraudulent G practice will~never end our trou'Ales. hi Says Senator Tiliman, "If the di applicant can read, he must :.be registered and therefore ailowed tot vote." 'g:-he cannot, iti.asy to see ~~ - that-thaaerp could not understaud, while the white map yould."

He called i the people to consider the great 2portance and the far-reaching con quences of the momentous question fore them. We do not attempt to give a verba mu report, but this is the general drift Mr. Elliott's remarks. His speech as wise, conservative, forcible and mely, having great effect upon the eeting. In conclusion he placed in )mination Mr. G. W. Ragsdale and 'aj. Thomas W. Brice, two Conserva ves, to be candidates at the primary. Mr. R. Y. Lemmon, a Reformer, conded the nomination as did several her Reformers present. Mr. Lem. on then placed in nomination R. A. o eares and W. L. Rosborough This a mination was seconded by Mr. T.

A resolution was passed by a rising . te to the effect that the mass meeting a te this ticket at the primary and y and by it at the general election. d The following resolution by Mr. a . K.

Mr. Ketchin then read a letter from sa jor T. W..
