Irby Awfully Anxious for Advertising?Kicks Against Condensation?Quiet Day at Beaufort. Beaufork, July 10.?Not quite 100 of the 500 Democratic voters of Beaufort attended the senato rial campaign meeting here this afternoon. Comfortable ^seats t were . placed on the lawn of the Sea Island hotel anil the four senatorial candidates were to have spoken from the piazza, but it was not long before audience, 4 speakers and all were huddled under cover. The few partiotie ladies present wanted to see and hear, and so the speakers. in good old time plebian fashion, mounted a box from which to orate. With everything cool and comfortable and a weather-bound audience, the speakers argued by the hour and only >t<i,> pod about supper time. There was some little sparring among the debaters, just enough of spice to give life ami /.est to the spooking.

Now when Col. Irbv started, he went for the summer compaign idea and alleged it was just a plot. He then attacked the newspaper arrangement of all papers getting one report, and said the daily papers had all formed a trust against any man who would enter the race except McLaurin. What he wanted was fair play, and he would have it. This syndicate was simply muzzling the press agaist honest politics, but when the papers printed brief reports and then editorily favored candidates, it was not fair. lie 1 . J i - ? uppeuieu 10 me people to be protected against this new trust. He said he had waited to see Mr. Duncan and Mr. McLaurin and invite them conjointly pay the expenses of a reporter and the telegraph tolls, and did not know what would become of such a plan to get justice. Even The Register was in the trust. The papers have gone in and closed the doors against honest debate and politics. The people are kept away from the meeting by the seasons and then by the papers iroin reading I he speeches. He said no such combination could be formed in his interest. He said lie did not speak of it in Charleston for fear ol being charged with soliciting votes, but lie knew all about a deal in which Coventor Fdlerbe liinured and howletters from Harrison and Kllcrbo were submitted to a Conservative caucus, and how KUerbe was sup ported on his promise to remove the metropolitan police, and howhe tailed. He said the newspapers have kept tip the factional lines; they have done so to keep up their business, and it would have been best had (Jon/ales heen drownded and Hemphill drowned long ago. He said he was a Reformer and a Democrat ; that lie contributed liu tmioh t a t lin n?*ao/???t wi IIIUVBI \\f IIIU |Muauut ' WIIIIIMUII as any one, but now there was no use for factional lines, and that he was a Reformer in princi pie for all time. He said he had as much as any one to with calling the constitutional convention; V :r. en <, S. C., WEDNKSDA^ stated that ho worked for Democratic postmasters, regardless of tactions. I There was an applause when he said Governor Ellerbe ha<l broken a solemn pledge in not removing the metropolitan police. : lie said a part of the plot was to defeat .Justice Melver for all time. He >aid MeLauiitl had been with every party in the last five ! years. and if defeated woe d go to I the Anarchists, lie spoke at length of his t a rill' views; how he stood to Tillman and Reform : his justice to the Conservatives, and how he expected to win. SKXATOK Al< |.A! KIN. .Mr. McLaurin spoke brielly, on account of indisposition, and got oil'some jokes 011 the disturbing J shrimp. He said Senator Irbv i could better have told what he did in the senate than what he did in State politics. If he had done so much to contuse things,let him remain here to straighten them out. lie said he knew noth ing oi politicians, lie said lie would not participate in a tirade of abuse of any one or anything. So far as the newspapers went, he was in no deal and had 110 1111 derstanding. The papers ran their business to suit themselves, as farmers did. It was plain business matter with them. He felt he had been unjustly treated at times, but, generally speakings newspapers and reporters were honest and fair, and he wanted no one hanged or drowned. Mr. Prentiss asked him what about Bowden, and Mr. McLaurin said Bowden was his personal friend, and he stuck to his friends. Mr. McLaurirr and Mr. Irby each had statements?Mr. McLaurin saying Mr. Shell was included in the invitation and Col. Irby was a brainy, shrewd, able man, but unfortunately had not and did not use his known abilities correctly. He said there could be no tariff for revenue only that would not have protection about it, and then went on at length to expound bis I position lie said he was as much I opposed as any one to protect ion; I but the government must have 1 revenue, and t bis he wanted equal i/ed when raised by a tar ill". He reviewed the rice and cotton schedules at lengt h, and said <iov I ernor Evans had taken his cot ton argument from the article re print<m1 in The News and Courier by Shopperson. lie went over his work for the Port Royal dock : in conjunct ion with Col.

Mr. May field was briefer than any other candidate and suggested that Mr. McLatirin belonged to the si irk and Hoi. Irby to the swift class of politicians. He spoke of how in liarnwell and Denmark he was repeatedly and without opposition elected by his people. When the effort was made to place Charleston in the black district he had opposed the 4 fTERP JULY 14, 1897. pin 11. He spoke sit length on his dispensary views, speaking in favor of restrictive sales, but against State management. lie said lie had avi>ed that the State would lose it-- ease, and was satis 1 fi 1 11ivt the' Yaedercoek decision would stand. Some one suggested that he run i for governor on his platform, which was applauded, and he said lie wanted to go to the senate. where he could do more good. He i . r .
