ELBERT H. AULL, EDITOr. NEWBERRY. S. C. ELBERT H. AULL P WM. P. HOUSEA T Proprietors. WDIESDIY, JULY 27. 1892. Gov. Tillman came proclaiming that rings and caucuses and combinations must go.. The people must rule. The "old oligarchy"-we believe that means the rule of the few-must stand aside andIet the people come in. The people before his coming had never been al lowed to have a voice in the affairs of government nor in saying who should, and from such bondage he had come to deliver them. The slogan w.Z taken up in every county by his followers and leaders, and the people believed it. The old courthouse ring must be smashed. Well, how is it now? Have the peo ple secured the liberty they were prom ised? is it not true that there is less freedom now than under the old plan? A few leaders meet, put out a ticket and you must vote for it. The lines must be drawn. How much freedom is this? Will the people stand it? We do not believe they will. We beli we they will"assert their independence and vote as they please. "A fight of the factories and banks against the people." That is in sub stance theeicuse of an argument which nearly every speaker is urging as a rea son for the present administration to have a new lease of life. It is usually brought out in some form or other be fore the speech is finished. Did you ever think of it seriously? How absurd it is. How foolish it is, and how utterly devoid of rhyme or reason. Why should the- binks want to fight the peole? If the banks should desire to oppress the people pray tell us why the factories should desire to do it? Now please don't misjudge our motives. The editor of this paper has not a dollar of bank or factory stock. Unfortunately, we belong to the borrowing eiars, and belonging to that class, we would like to :eemore banks and more .people with money to lend; possibly it would be eheaper. -Would it not be better for. hie famerQ-the people-if there were ,r> enough. factories in Newberry County to nmnufacture all the cotton we raise? Is the a man in Newberry County wio would object to such a state of af fAis?: If there Is, he wili please hold up his band and stand until he is counted. A. prominent leader in the Tillman ranks in thiscounty told us some weeks ago substantially that the only hope for thesuccess of the Tilman cause was tokeep the people aroused and the ex citement up. That is bsd isn't it? That is an admission that without an appeal to pre.judice and an effort to arrag one class against.another, there is no hope for TilHmanism to succeed. Any man who Yahors to stir up strife is a common enemy and should be so treated. Mr. SUgh intimates- that all -politi clans curse, and in his ardent support of Gtov. Tillman offers that as an ex caese for His Excellency's .grofanity. That may be true, but they have re 1peet for those wiho do not like to hear, it and do not mix it with their public speeches. The Rev. Mr. SSligh had better direct his defense to some other weak point of the Gover nor's. _________ The Register says upon the authority -of-Dr. S. Pope that Newberry will give six or seven hundred majority to Till man. That settles it. Talking about taxes, did you kn,ow that some people who -talk loud and long about certain property not being assessed at its rAarket value; when they go to return their own, first inquire how other people return their's, and then they return at the same propor tion and make affidavit to it. And did you ever notice another thing, the peo pIe who talk the loudest and longest abbout taxes, as a rule, are the ones who pay very little themselves? But then they are talking in the interest of the "dear people," that is, they want the "dear people" to vote for them and give them a good fat job. 'The State campaign meetings for the past week have been more quiet and rulerly than before. They have been uneventful. .The report of the campaign meetings at Sligha and Young's Grove is some what longer than we care to have here after, and we will in future boil down some of the speeches. With the $1 poll tax we now have five negroes serving 30 diays each in the county jail for a failure to pay. Because they could not pay five dollars they will cost the tax payers about $6.5. How would it be with a $3 poll tax - when they can't-pay $1? The county campaign proper will open at New berry next Tuesday. We hope to see the campaign run on a high plane. There is no reason why it * should be otherwise. Geo. B. Cromer has been sending the truth hiome and the people are think ing. He will coutinue the good work untii the end of the cam.paign. The people want the truth and they know he will not deceive them. Let the good * work go on. Mr. Willie C. Wolfe, of Oran'geburg, is not as big a man as he once thought he was. He should be more careful how he makes charges. The Cotton Plant is very much worried because Mr. James F. Tillnman was present at the Alliance conference at Anderson, and calls his presence "unwarrented interference." We thought Mr. Tiliman was the secretary of the Legislative Council, whose busi ness it was to watch Congressmen. But then we dont know anything about it, nor why Mr. Tillman was at Anderson, but we had an idea that this was a free country and people could go where they pleased without even the permission of the Cot ton Plant. -<2 ~-. THE COUNTY ctMRAIG N. The Meeting at Young's GrovOe'i&Slbgh'a -f Full Report of What Tiiey Said. PRos kai-rX JauW. -Yiing's Grove is theost ppular-barbeee plac in theednnty. . otwithstanding itsnear ness to trosierity aind theticb coIdtry arounl;#he rowddsas sdli il, not- ex ceeding 20 persons.' The.'Seeting,was very orderly throughou''with 'few exceptions. As at the previous meetings; the ma jority of the speeches were very con servative and manly. There were live speakers present for the House, all of whow received marked attention. Neither of the candidates for the Senate were present. Geo. B. Cromer, a conservative can didate for delegate to the State Conven tion, made some strong arguments against the administration. He was interrupted all through his .eech by afew Tillmanitesasking questlons,-etc., but as a- whole the audience was very attentive and anxious to hear Mr. Cro mer. 1. was told on good authority that at least two-thirds of the crowd was conservative. HON.- J. M. JOHNSTONE. The speaking opened at 10.45 by Chairman A. E. P. Bedenbaugh intro ducing the Hon. J. M. Johnstone. Mr. Johnstone, spoke of the quiet of poli ties six years ago, with nothing special before the people except the agricul turalcollege. He said that he prom' ised them that he would use his best endeavors to have, that college estab lished, and did. The college was es tablished. I disagreed with some of the gentlemen then in that the college could be established without an. appro priation. You see the result. There are no issues before us. It is a 'fact that'there are two sets of candi dates in the field-one headed by Till man and the other by Sheppard. It is a question of men not measures. Every wan has the power to vote as he pleases. A man's democracy is not affected by voting for either of these men. Mr. tobnstone believed in the public schools. In sustaining measures that will look to the upbuilding of them. He wanted every man to cast his vote on one side or the other of the subject of Prohibition. Then he would have the sentiments of the people and would east his vote in the House as instructed. Let no man dictate to. you how you shall vote. Vote as free men. If I am defeated r shall not say one word. HON. COLE. L. BLEASE. Hon. Cole. L. Blease had no issues to dodge. - Concerning the report- that he had whipped over on the Prohibition party, he said that he neither belonged to the Prohibition party nor to the anti Prohibition party. That he ~saw fit to oppose the Childs bill in the Legisla ture because it was not what the people 'wanted. It made no difference- wheth er he was a prohibitionist-or not in this campaign. As a servant of the people he would cast their vote as they cast it. He said that he was on no man's coat tail. That he was endorsed by the caucus after he was out, and that any man would have accepted the endorse ment. ~ I-don't propose to be defeated. I think that I will be elected. He did not have time to read the Childs bill Contradicted the .eport that he had promised to support it, and thatbe had been bought for $250, and begged all who believed the report not to votefor him; he was proud to be called "drift, wood" by some men, but he didn't be lieve that Tiliman included him. Then he showed a reduction of taxes. If taxes are'more you did it in making your assessments. I did my part. They passed a reapportionment bill; he voted and worked for a Constitu tional convention; for av reduction of salaries; the Senate-killed it; he would let Sease talk about theSouth Carolina College; he opposed the Fish Commis sion bill, for it was creating an unneces sary office'; ought John (Gary- Evans' motion; voted to abolish the office' of Supervisor of Registration, the Auditor should be the Supervisor; voted against the World's 2air bill, for be- was not willing to give $5,O00 to the yankees to have a circus. He called attention to the free schools, and showed by sta tistics that the negro was ahead; it could only be remedied by a Constitu tional convention. You say you must ha' e such a fine Legislature to elee.t judges. South Carolina has as good a set of judges as any State. Any lawyer who knows the law and how to apply it, and is a thorough -Christian gentleman isa fit for a judge, and.no other He intro duced the School District and other bills. My record is before you; if miy record and position please you, yote for me. ' CoL. L. P. M1LLEE. After a recess fr. dinner, Chairman Bedenbaugh introduced CoL L. P. Mil ler. He said that outside of character and integrity and. duty, there was no question before them. That'to his miind there -never had been a more-critical time in South Carolina. Wdth many prophets rising up-all leading~ the people to the promised land, and none of them getting there. if we can pre serve the. unity.of the Democracy of South Carolina we will always be safe. But when you get astray and.party sen timent isQrunning ram pant, no man can tell where it will drift us. As a white man I don't propose to oppress the negro. It would corrupt him. You let ism and party strife get together, there will be no telling where they will rest. 'White unity is not for the pur pose of opprcssion but for the purpose of civilization. -. Col. Miiller said that th'e question of fitness, etc., all comes before the peo ple. In this canvass you could make your chioice. - It is a business, proposi tion. That he represented his own county in the Legislatare before he came to thbis county. That it was hard for a true man to pass through a politi al crusade without some one to throw mud at him. I proos to. advocate those principles which shall uring about the material progress of the State and bring back peace and harmony. 'As a farmer my interests are identified v:ith yours, but I am not of those that believe that all ability is on our side. We must get together. As a farmer I want to see all of the factories that we can get. I wish.that those conditions could be established that would make South Carolina the dumping ground of capi tal. He then spoke of overproduction, and the condition of the farmers all over the world. That with this state of afiairs he (the farmer) is ready to listen to atiybody that comes along. If a man dares to have his convictions the only credit he gets is- that he be longs to a ring or aristocracy. Don't let prejudice blinid yourjudgmerit and keep you from thinking and reasoning fr yourselves. 3ra. JOH N C. WILsoN. The next speaker was Mr. John C. Wilson. He said he could testify to the truthfulness of the 'temperance speeches, but when we come to discuss te question with the people divided we must take into consideration all sides of the question. He was not in favor of prohibition, but wanted every body to study it and go to the ballot and cast their vote. Then as a true representative he would cast his vote and try and pass such a bill as shall give best satisfaction to the people. As to who is to represent you should ask who' is suited best to represent yoiY on the many questions which will come up. There is no division with the white folks of South Carolina. I was told at the last meeting that it was a ques tion of Tillman and Sheppard-the question is whether you are loyal to one man, B. R. Tillmnan. Are we to be judged by this? I cannot think thati a free people; an intelligent, true and pa triotic people could act thus. I am candid to tell you that two years ago I was not ini favor of Mr. N- ~ ~ $ '~"~ uTilman, but when lie received the nomination I used what little influence I.had to elect him. If I represent,u I shall not stop to ask who is governor shaljdge the thing by its me&tah 'anll UI upon my own merits. I haveot %ctted. Till man is not ny choice, tt i renomi nated I abati) elect him. [Voice. "That's -tht I- al a mrau') I am going for ire unient aniieduction of taxation. Before, I supported every bill that looked to the interest of South Qarolina. Ask yourselves whether I am fitted to represent you and if I am not. I shall be there to elect the man that gets the nomination. [Cheers.] I voted against the reopening of the South Carolina College and Citadel, not because I was opposed to education, but at the time we needed recuperation, and the State could not support the't' at that time. They are now open and deserve the patronage and support of the State. When the Clemson College was opened I. thought. that we did not need it; that it would not tie what it said it would be. The State invested its money, and now, under the circum stanceB, I shall vote for money to com plete and runit. Here somebody asked Mr. Wilson what he thought about the $3 poll tax. Mr. Wilson said: I don't believe that it would be right. Because not a white man in South Carolina, no matter how poor, would escape. It is aimerd to make the negro pay his part but in can't be done. A negro will slip you. It will- be bard to make the poor man sell all he has to educate-your children. He showed how many negroes esca now, and asked if it would be any t ter then; and he predicted that the law would be repealed after one years trial. No other questions being asked, Mr. Wilson closed by saying that'he was notin the interest of any measure, but to the best interest of Newberry County and of South-Carolina. [Loud cheer ing. I HoN. JNO.. w. SCoTT. Then followed .the Hon. Jno. W. Scott; he said that there were issues, and spoke of the issues six years ago. The farmers' movement. We stood to gether as a unit in '76 when we upheld the hand of Hampton. . Remnember those days and say that it will be possi bleto defeat such a corrupt enemy. Be fore then just a handful of'men run the government. The farmers did not take any interest in those things. Six years ag, we met in convention; never was there a mere enthusiastic and gentle manicnventlon. The farmers were .ithout an institution; now upon the spot where John C. Calhoun was born, an institution has been erected to edu cate our boys to be farmers. Equal rights to all men and special privileges to none is a part of the -farmers move ment. I am a candidate on the merits of Jno. W. Scott. I am in no man's hands. If defeated .I will bow as politely to it as any man in the county. He advo cated Clemson College. He said that with some people prohibition was noth ing, but that-it was something to him; that with him one drink meant to get drunk and he.couldn't help it, and that he .was not by himself. Ishall vote for it; but if the county says anti-prohi bition I shall vote against it. GEO. B. CROMER, ESQ. Then - Geo. B. Cromer spoke, not about the newspapers, but to the news paper man,: and showed Mr. Caperf what an injustice he had done some of theconservative delegates and nearly all of the Tillman delegates, by omiting to tell-their occupations. Ibelieve thal you ought tobe. allowed to go to the ballot box and vote for Tillman or Shep pard; but didn't give us a direct pri mary. I will not stir up-bad blood. Il I can.give no good reason - wby I an here, -I have no business. here. . haven't got a word to say about G.ov. Tillman's private ebaracter; he Is m3 goveraor as-well as you*s. -The news papers go too far on bothr sides. Mr. Capers calls, us consummate, politic.i hypocrites. I am no hypocrite. The many in his towna are not hypocentes We all make mistakes. When -Gov, Tillunan spoke atNewberry he told you that he could save the State.$100,000. If Gov. Tiliman could have done what he said he could do, or if any mortal man could have done:it, it was yonu duty-to let him try It. Did be savi anything at all? It your taxes are re duced, give the credit of it to yonu County Commlrsioners. They say thea reduced your taxes, yet that lev) brought inta the treasury $5,000 mor4 than the one before.. They told you about the.Clemson College; they elected professors; there.stands bare walls un finished; the professors are out of ajob f Voice. Jn. C. Haskell was the icause of it, tooA . . Mr. Cromer: Mr. Blesse, did noi Jno; C. Haskell vote for the appropria tion? Mr. Blease: He did.. General disturbance f.>llowed : this but it soon subsided. Mr; Cromner continuing, said: They -said that-if they had made the appro priation they could not have done the work,. it rainred too mucA. They had promised that they wouldn't tax ahe people. lam not saying a word about your Titimanism or' you. They refused the appropriation to Clemson College and also to. the State Agricultural 8-ociety, while t,heyr appropriated $500 to the negro State Fair. ISome voice. Haskelle was the cause of it.] L am stating facts. -Gov. Tiliman wsz not able to save the State $100,000, nor could' any other man have saved it. Tilknan cries driftwood. [Voice. Did be save anything?J- It takes me so long to think of anything, that I wouldJ better go on. He stopped work on the Statehouse and on Clemson College; he ought to have saved something.. itis nothard to pay a 3 poll tax if yon the money; but goto Tudassurer .Boyd'a ofiiceand see how many polls are back. Five negroes areinjail now because they did not "pay ths $1. This county ii paying $6.5a month because five negroes did not pay $5. It wont work. You want a.negro's $1 and he's gone. You can find the poor white muan. It would be a grievance and hardship on the white people. These are my views. After the primary we are all going to pull together. - I always voLe. - Our Judges have the brightest char aeter on the continent. If Judge Hund son had been a corrupt man he could have made himself popular by deciding in favor of the State. Is it best to say that he is corrupt? It was not right ini Go-v. Tillman to attack Judge Wallace because he differed with him. Tillman goes too far when he wauts Coo mruch power. It is not according to the gov. ernmenat of a free country bor one -man to bev-e too much powver. Cromer will not tell you any lies. .. -Mr. ThorS. Sease wa.s then intro duced as the silver-tongued orator of No. 9: He denounced some of ThRe Herald and News' report of his speech at Watts' as "a lie." Mr. Sease also branded the reports tha - he had been an anti and the one about the "sowr apple tree" as "a lie." ~.Wyche then spoke in answer to calls for him. THE 3tEETING AT SLIGHS. SIGHs, July 22.-"Stand and unfold y ourself." The record was somewhat broken here to-day. Instead of the monotony of men and riot measures or measures and not men we were treated to a little episode. It was merely a little question propriety be tween the Rev. J. A. Sligh and the Hon. J. M. Johnstone. Indeed it looked to me at one time (to use the words of the Register) "as if a bloody riot would ensue," but it was soon found that everybody wanted free speech. Therefore, after a great deal of getting mad and cursing and rolling up of sleeves, and remonstrating, and neaking - off, and "worda, words, words," everything got v-ery quiet and Mr. Wilson was allowed to go on with his speech. - -The candidates were r.ther scarce here to-day, and so was the crowd. One thing, though, was very notice - -. able; more politics throughout t crowd than at any previous meetin The meeting was a grand success, at the little "passage at arms" was ves nicely settled and everybody wel home-decided. Dr. D. H. Wer acted as chairman, and at 11 o'cloc introduced the THE REV. .. A. SLIG H. .Mrrligh said there wire many que tions before the people and man things to be said on both sides. 'Ti Herald and News says that some of ti Tillmaniees are rather shaky, and thi it looked as if they werc afraid to con out. As soon as I saw that I wrote 1 Mr. Capers that I was going to mal the race before the people to be electe or to be defeated; he said that be di not say that Tillman was a wicke man; that he said that he used profai language, but went on to show that l stood the equal of any governor the we have had, and I defy any man t prove that he is more immoral tha any of the men who have succeede since '76; be spoke of the free circui tion of The State, and said that it wi a reflection upon your intelligence an manhood. I'll tell you how it brought about. There are men in ever community who send in the names 4 weak men iu that community. It as much as to say that you are a wea man and can be turned by the doctrin of The State. I am not telling yo that Sheppard is not able to govern tb .State. This campaign is not for met it is for measures and principle. I at going to vote for the man that advi cates my principles. I ant going t mention names; prepare yourselves f< me. We are told that there are n issues, but the opposition is going i make an issue i. e. the issue of lab and capital. If the railroads and fa( tories continue to make threats. Mr. Johnstone-Mr. Sligh, wh railroad has done this? Mr. Sligh-I say if they are doing and it can be proved, it will be deve oped. The newspapers will do and thing. If a man, simply because he : poor, has got to sacrifice his vote, I sa we ought to rise up for them. I :na the assertion that Gov. Tillman was t moral a man as any Governor that u have had for years and years. I wat to review those Governors. I adm that it was not well that I brought th accusation against Ex-Governor Ricl ardson. It was on account of the of position to Tillman, and I brought up as a proof that he was as good a any of them. If I am pressed f: proof I will not be found wantinj They have voted for more immor, men. Take Gov. Hampton and Goi Thompson and put them in the scah and weigh them. Is not Gov. Tillma Hampton's equal in truthfulness; is ti not his equal in honesty? Tillmia pays his honest debts; that's a part i worality. Speak of patriotism. I kno that Hampton is honored, but whei did Gov. Tillman ever prove to be coward. Has he not given evidence 4 that great love that he bears to h country. Is there a man in Sout Carolina his superior in this? Tal B. S. Thompson, J. P. Richardson at Jno. C. Sheppard, and he will weij with them. T know that he has nt g )t that nice trimming about hit neither have you. Nature has ma' him so. When you- know him as know him you will find him as good man as any tn South Carolina. If won't vote for him because he cursc wlho am I to vote for among the po ticians. I suppose those affidavit ini are sorry before now. A certain mi at Prosperity has been boasting th he will show the Rev. Sligh that ,rill not go to the Senate. We m show him that he does not rule Ne berry County. I am for a Tillm elector. Here is Newberry Coun with good Democrats, but we los through different glasses. We are< vided into two factions. I have d~ue respeet for your opinions. I ada cate equal representation at the ball sbox. 1 don't want drunken mn dragged to the box and tbeir hands < reete.d to Vote for me; I don't want ai friends to offer money for votes for nx The p--oposition was made that- ea one of the factions sh'ould call a nec ing and put in the field eight me rWhen that question was tiy Iw amus'd. They said that it was u democratic, but we carried it. We p oa.t our men. The papers tried, bring into ridicule the address that w issued. They have intimidated ye I am ashamed and I know that you a: They put out their eight maen, just .we did. He spoke of.the howl about ti March Convention of 1890, and sa that they did tbe, very same'thil themselv'es. I am surprised that the good Democrata don't come along wi us. I can't understand why Mr. WV son ~and Mr. Johr'stone are not wi me. The mnt they represent are tr in to kill -the movement. They a fighting the cause. Tkhey don't wa the farmers to rule; they want you vote and no more. What do the eight men represent? All good m that voted for Tillman. You vote I them. They* go to Columbia and not vote your sentiments, hut will vc for John C. Sheppard. Now is yo time to fight him. Fight the prin< pIes that they represent, not them. Before the war the people trusted il "bosses." Ben Tillman has had tl courage and bravery to preach a go ernment of the people, by the peop and for the people. I am an eleett Don't vote for me because I am Slig because I am a farmer, or against a because you dislike me, but vote I principle; that he would omit to sha .these representatives how this was campaign of meashres not mien. I ho) they will come on our side, the side justice and right. Mr. Sligh said that the peop)le wI favor Sheppard live in the towns at those who favor Tilan live in t! country. I haven't arrayed the con try against the town. If they aire rigi they should 'conevitnce us; if we a right, they should come to u.s. T couldn't understand how it was th as a man went to the town he becean antagonisti' to he country. The tow is against the country. Oh, ye nme chants! you tell me that you are again Tillman. WVere not you a farmaer< your father ':ne? In the name of ju tiee, why don't you merchants coni and help us. Oh. ye lawyers! why< you oppose us? The lawyers have iu more influence on politics thaun at other class. Theay sbould represel your interest. Pe.ople who are tbortn town degenerate in a few ysars. Gre men are bornc in the country. WVI should they oppose us. Mr. Sligh then read fronm the Regi ter that beautiful t ale of the "blocksi five," and said that he was beginnit to believe that the farmers' votes are be tried to be bought. It would be pr yen within two weeks. Mr. Sligh said that he-was surpris4 that these men stood on a platform pl out by a March Convention composa principally of Huskellites. He sa that he hoped that he would never I a candidate again. I wanted to be Rai road commissioner. I wanted toget bac some of the money that I have spen But I was represented as the only ma that had a chance to succeed. I has worn out my life for the people. I ha1 worked for the toiling masses and love to labor for those who are dowl Being patriotic in my views I have le my- farm and family, and have gor out for you. There is not a single a in New berry County who has worka as hard and done as meuch for the pe< pIe of the cournty as I have. Mr. Sligh spoke of the help that bi was giving the farmers in the Unic Alliance store, and that all this ht put him in debt. When I die, wril on my tombstone that he died fightir for the people. Then followed the HON. JOHN C. WiLSON. Mr. Wilson did niot think that M Sligh as a fair man had acted fair. E~ says that he is on a different platforn Iam on the Demoeratic platform; 1 Is for Tiliman; lam for Sheppard. Aft4 urn"" e the nomination I am for the nomine . I advocate true measures. I have yoi d interests at heart as much as he ha y he has it to appear that I was put fo it ward by ringsters; he tells you abol ts March Conventions. I said it wi k wrong. I said no nian who was opposc to the Iirat could endorse the one of '9l Weigh me. If you think that I c . represent you I want your vote; if nc y I can't conseientiously ask it. e Mr. Sligh referred to labor and capi e tal. When such a state of affairs coin t I will be with you. I am interested i e well as you. I ask you not to be led o o by these things. If I have those thiul e that may qualify me for that positioi d why vote for me. I an, not running d Tillman's or Sheppard's coat tails. d ask all to weigh uay position and sc whether I am fitted to represent you e Here Messrs. Wilson and Johustot asked Mr. Sligh to give them the di o fereuce of which he spoke. n Mr. Sligh commenced to explain i d position. He asked Mr. Johnst,.ne wb . club he belonged to. Mr. Johnstone: That's none of you d business. Thus commenced the little racket, ft Mr. 51igb took the answer as an insull o After awhile Mr. Wilson was allowe is to proceed. He said that Mr. Sligh ha k a right to bis opiniun and I have a rigli e to mine. I have always voted the tici a et. I want the campaign conducted s e that we mnay;not be divided after ti primary. I have nothing invested i ' bands, railroads, factories or any . these things. I am as loyal and hav, as much of New berry at heart as an tuan. I an a Democrat. I am just z o capable to represent you as if I were o Tillman man. If you can show tin r Sheppard and his party are trying t oppress you, then I will join you. HON. J. M. JOHNSTONY. t said: Mr. Sligh has seen lit to repri sent me as being antagonistic to tli it people of this country. If any tna 1- wants my position I will give It. Thes r- are no questions affecting the publi s welfare. Four y.-ars agoI toldyou tin Y I was in favor of Cleiuson College and e tried :ny best to establish it. I told yo 18 then that it could not be establisne e without an appropriation from tl t State. Now I know it. It looked lik it a success until the last legislature ri e fused to make an' appropriation. Ti work stopped. - If we could fl,at our debt at four pc t ctit, instead of six per cent, our taxt * could be reduced. r 1 come offering myself with an bonet r. and patriotic heart, promising to be ft t your interests. Mr. A and yr. B eac r. want to be Governor. The questiot and the only question, is between ti n two, and I don't care who :says to t e contrary. If that was not the on n question, why then I could tell yo sf how to vote.
