Sonator McLau rin was absent. CoI. Irby began by oxpressing his regret at having to say what lio h:d to, but it was tiecessary for him to disabuso the minds of the peoplo of Darlington and of South Carolina of a lit which was being promiscuously circulated against him. This slandor in referenco to my, runuing to elect Governor Evins i an infamous lie, said ho, and I a'm rosponsible for saying that-i it's. It. has been circuliedh'Aro in Darling. -tonl CbIuity against meo, but am I such a fool as that? Am I such a miserablo dog that I would prosti tuto my manhood, when Governor Evans forcod me to retiro from tlho race last year. Am 1, I repont, such a miisorablo our that I would go crawling to him on my belly to lick his I. ud and ask for his forgiveness? I hope the peo plo will toll thoso that aro not horo that such talk is a lie. I say that but for me going to Suiter and picking up the fallmn colors of Roform that there would have boon 11no raco. INSIDE HISTORY, ACCOlIN To 111Y. I didn't want to run. 11, diln't suit my business. .1 wont to Gover nor Evans anidt told him to make the race, anld thai1t if Ie woul I woul iot. Ho wa1s lir-aid it) olnter. 11e wiiteod until i after the 81um1tor moet ing hefore coming in it. But 1 say the time to itako a raco is at th1) ho. gianing of it. I feuared thitt South Caroliia would hbo comilitted to pro teetion idels. I have said heforo, and 1 say now, tlint Donaldson and Evans wor0 afraid to t-aldo- MeLau rini, and 1 made pi) Iy imind to mako this raco ir I didn't. got but, ono voto, that of my bruthler, Dr. I rby, of Lau Uov. Evans didn't speak lit Stil tor, or MoN ek's Corner or at Charles toll. It's falso, it's untrne, for any man to say tliat I am running to elect Governior Evans. a i ani bcpaulse thie peol of thle Piedollint ect ion, Conse rvativos and1( Reformers alike, asked me to run. It wvas understood wboen the last com-. nmittoo loft me that I wvould run if no one elso would. I have nothing to hide. 1 defy the world to find so much as a Ily * speck on my record. I defy any man to say where I've dleserted a singlo principle on which I -was elected. 'Why, when nll other records are being attacked in this caumpaign, is it that mine in ulnassailed? Govern or Evans, Senator McLaurin and Mr. May field, belfore lie'hopped out of the pit, all said my record is uni blemished. PIll tell yon why T .didn'it runl las.t year. Earle said if I dlidnJ't run lie w1ould1. If I hiad run McLaurin would have runi. Tihie Conservatives wvould havo voted for him.' The Re formers, inder tho. lash of Tilhnan, would ,hayo v'oted' for Evans, and whoi- my voto wvould have come froim * the, ford only knows. TrILMaAN's FINE ITALTAN HOANDI. Umli not b)ot.horing Tillman. lie says his hands are oil'. Ghod grant it. (Applause.) My hands are off him. I've no godfather ini this race. If I can't run this raee as a Reform or and a D)emocrat, then I'll go home uad live in obscurity until the end of my days. Thue Conservat.ives last year when Earlo boa, Evans said: '"Oh, . olin, you've dropped younr eandy.'' It was too late t honl. TIhe peOoplo (did not go back oni me. lIt was thell po1itie. inns. They wvont t>ack onl me1, anid ci rculated lies againist m ae. H.'omo of those 'very politicians were mon -J helped to make. AN UNoRIATEFUL. 1n111. I hatched Tillman, if you want to k'ow S it. ' oliticians wont among he gye I.( and tho only thing they kid siy againt me was: "lie is un rue to (te -o-v-o-m-o-n4." What sovwing did I have? In one night these ell IOie liars can tell enough to destroy the best mnan1 ill the world, atid il'm not that. 'The peoplo of Laurens and the Piedmont know that I've alwayus been true. ien, what was tho matter? It wats becaso I was a Democrat. I rofused to go out of the party. It looks hard that I am to bo punished because I've been true to the lefor mors of South Carolina. I stood by Tiliman closer thln a brother; I pick od this mAan (Evans) Up ainld madO him (1ovornor. lint., because I stood up in the Iay Convention last year and,ppposod a bolt from the Domno critic party, 1 had to go down, I stl it was wrong in '90, when Has 1/k1ll bolted ; I said it was wrong ill '92 whlen IGonzalos m anted -to bolt, and again in '94, when there was talk of running an Indepondemit ticket for delogatos to the Constititlional Cnn vention, I said it was wrong. Could I conscimntiously, when op posing bolts, favor a threatened re volt against the Natior.al Democratic party ? No. It was wrong ill prin ciplo. I spoke and wrote aiecording ly bfor tho May Convention mot. At 'i a. mll. somo of my friends calme to me, Col.

I forgot where F told them to go to, but Ihy went. I told thom that I wouldu't, sacrifico principlo for any offico in South Carolina. I told thom to toll tllose that seit thill t ihat while I was a botter friend to silvor than any of thom there were principles ill the Demoeratic party other than silver. I am talking about Democracy. This may not be as muich tariff talk as (Ionzales and e[mphill would liko, Imit. [ll talking about Domoorn ey. 'lhe fabric vanl't. stand uiiloss tlle mud sills are ripo. I was l..1ed to the Constitutional Convouidon unanimousl., but on Cho conldition that nto man that worei a white face and straight hair should be disfranchimd. On that, account, and beeause .1 would not spit on the grave of a great-grandfather who could neither read nor write I op posed the suffrago clause. The ef fect of that clauso is to disqualify the poor and illiterate whlite man ini Southi .Cariolinat. . lie is given the~~ privilege, not the inherent right, (C) vote only so long as the supervisors see fit to let him have it.

I o answorod: "It's it damin fiasco,' (Laughter and applause.) Well,' I was in old farmer, and didin't know what that meant, as I hadii't looked inside a book in yoars, but I just answored that we woiero go. ing to elect Tillman. TilE EVOLUTIoN OF EVANS. After while the political cloud kept on gottin' bigger and bigger. The houses bogun to shako and tho tromi to anap. Tho dogs ran bark in' under the houso and it got so dark the chickens went to roost. Evans saw then that Tilian was going to bo olected. I was down in that section pretty soon afterwards. Evans saW m1c and grabbed my hand and salid: "Irby, I'm with you. Tilban1's going to be elected, and i'um with vou in this fight.." I took himun in and made a man of him. I mado him Governor and kept Tilbnan from hurting him. But last year he forgit his political daddy. Ho slipped up on ime whilo I was asleep, and struck me, and "the blow most killed father." TiE OLD ELILE. Col. Irby at this point, as there were no ladies present, told his sid colt. joke, to the amusement of the crowd. Speaking soberly again, Col. Irby continued: I don't want to speak about McLaurin. I would havo to speak oi his reco.d and might mis represent -im, which, if ie were, here hi mighit explain satisfactorily. I don't want, to do liiim an injustice. I had rather bo defeated in spito of Mr. Uwonzals than b elected by mis representing the sick. Col. Irby then took up his record anld declared: "Melaiturinl has fairly said that I always voted right." He then briefly reviewed his voto on the Wilson bill and his defeat of tho silver colupromise. . lMY AS A PEACEMAKER. lo continued: .f there over was a time in the history of South Caro lima when factional and personal differences should be buried forever it: is that- t io now. It is not an is suo of reform or anti-reform, of Till man or Antii-Tillman, but it is, Shall Sout i Carolina bo committed to pro tection? Shall von say, With Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, t,hat. protection is finding favor~ among South (5aro liniains'? You ought to send a man to the Senate to fight p)rotect ion, and the way to tight protection is to light it. lIn conrclusionr Col. Irby asked the suffrage of the peoplo as a Demo crat, "not that I am not. a Reformer; for l'mi as good1 a one as ever wvoro hair, but I am a Democrat.." (A.p p)lauIse.)
