The Campaign Circus, j A Review of the First Week's ! Performances. CHARLESTON. Jane 28.-The first week's stage of the two month's jour- j o ey of the Reform band wagoo through South Carolina having been accom? plished it might- be of interest to re- j view some of the iucidents of the trip j and giv^ prominent characteristics of several of the candidates. Five counties have been visited- j Clarendon. Williamsburg, Georgetown, j Horsy and Marion-and the speeches : have beeo beard by no more than 1,70U people. At Marion yesterday 600 was j a liberal estimate of the cumber of the ; audience and the reason for even that \ much interest was because Marion bad two sons OD the stump-Ellcrbe and | Norton. Georgetown broke the record j for a small meeting,there being less than 50 white men of that county in attend- j ance, 1 Next to the senatorial race, the coo- ! test for the job of keepiug warm the executive chair in the State House next j winter by a natural process, is the most interesting. Thia is occasioned by the fact that a favorite soo of the lowlands and Pee Dee section is ooe of the candidates ; an equally favored son of the Piedmont, is another, and that the bills of old Union send forth a candi- j ? date who tells some unsavory truths about Reform, grinds a crartffe about colleges, and sprinkles an acceptable amount of ginger and pepper into the debates. Mr. W. H. Ellerbe. of Marion, is well known in public life in this State. By the changing of four votes from Stokes, of Colieton, by the Richland delegation he was nominated io 1890 for comptroller general, and on taking the stand to accept bis nomination Mr. Ellerbe said he wished it understood that h.e was not one of those who be- I . lieved there had *been any corruption in the State-that the fight was simply on the principle of "outs" wishing to be "ins y Bis administration of the comptroller's office four years was cred? itable. In 1894 he was one of tbe candidates for governor, but his "briches holt" on Tillman was not of the strongest, so he fell behind. Mr. Eilerbe is an ardent Reformer, but not of the Tillmau-Evans stamp. His platform seems to be one OD which moderation, with justice to all factions will have a standing, crowding off the arrogance aod insolent partisanship . which have characterized the governor's office for six years. Mr. Ellerbe is the youngest candidate. State Senator John R. Harrison, of Greenville has been a member of the legislature a. greater length of time than any other mao in that body, with the possible exception of Major Buist, of Charleston. After serving in the lower branch several terms he has graced a chair in the senate for eight years. He is the eldest of the candidates, being about 55, and is of rather distinguished appearance. Iron gray, with 'a head shaped like James G. Blaine and beard trimmed in bis style, his side face is not unlike that of the Maine statesman 10 years ago. In politics Mr. Harrison is a' conser? vative Reformer. His promise is to recognize oo class or faction if be is j elected governor, and to try and bring the peopie together. His vote against the metropolitan police bill will proba? bly be remembered in Charleston on electioo day. The only clash between Mr. Harrison and Mr. Ellerbe is oo Clemson college-the former claiming :hat,tbat institution is conducted more as a literary than an industrial school ; that it oosts too much and that what? ever it gets should be appropriated di? rectly from the treasury and not go to it io the uncertain privilege tax ; Mr. Ellerbe, a member of the Clemson board, defending that oollege as it stands. Both favor State institutions of higher learning. Mr. Harrison likes a joke exceeding? ly io private conversation, and ^ . u fond of telling them on the stand. Jonesville, Union county, is being daily advertised by a son who is cer? tainly one of the most interesting fea? tures of the campaign. Mr. Whitman is between 48 and 50 years of ago ; of | medium height, stout, with black hair, i moustache and close cropped siders. j His training in the .Methodist pulpit j makes him a fluent speaker and he ha3 j a rather forcible style of delivery. It is not chaste or polished, but he j says he oan put these frills on if he j wanted to, he just chunks them "the; facts like throwing ear corn to hogs," j as he puts it. Mr. Whitman tells ! them that he was a Reformer before I Ben Tillman was heard of aud has j been keeping on tfcal some tack ever ! since. When he taiks, he seems to j i Be deeply in earnest, gets very much : wrought up, and if he should be so fortunate as to win this office, could j, truthfully claim to have earned every j : dollar of bis salary by the sweat of j 1 hi3 brow, perspiration nev, being at a j ' discount. Mr. Whitman's platform is the tear- ; ing down of colleges, improving publie : , schools, wiping out factional lines, chok- ! < ing off pap-suckers and getting a hold j himself. The attention given him j ! when had told some exceedingly uoeom- j < plimentary truths about Ben Tillman ! ' and the movement has been really quite j ' surprising ; he has had his say and j J mado the people laugh at some of his j j vehement denunciations. He bas even j < been so daring as to praise the fairness i : of The St: te and was permitted to sit ? 1 down unrebuked. The Reformers soeer at Whit. They call bim a crauk aod other more unborn- . plirut?D"-arv names for entertaining ? notion thar he can be governor Yet t Re for ra cry has b?et.? that an* rm uod*r thesr ro!i?tj. i: -ul'i aspov-.

Of course the public has been ruc interested in the debates between Go ernor Evans and Mr. Duncan, cane dates for the United States senate, i every meeting txsept Georgtow Governi r Evans has seemed to ha' the crowd with him. but Mr. Dnot bas been given courteous heariogs every point visited and I know that I has caused some men to thinfc. It is very difficult, if not impose ble. for a countryman of intelligent e*en above the average, to unde stand fully the points in this bon matter. But there is an importai point overlooked by the governor ; is that the people of South Carolin do not care at this particular junctui one picayune whether Mr. Duncan is gorilla, a gyascutus, a jackleg law yer, a failed farmer or an insignif can'' lerk in the State house. The are not even particularly intereste just now as to whether or tiot Mi Duncan in a liar. For whateve Governor Evans may say to the cor trary, it is not lying to ask for ey. planations of matters about wine there is suspicion, but no proof ; am if the explanation given appears un convincing, to reiterate the calls fo more poof If, however, Governo Evans* contention at Marion is true then Ben Tillman won the governot ship of th's State on slanderous lies and the record will bear me out Tillman did -not make "charges'* ii 788 and '90 ; they were insinuations and insinuations not so direct as Mr Duncan's, and not particularizing an] man, but like a foul blanket throwi over the whole administration make the charges and leave it to yoi %o disprove them " Does Governo Evans remember that oft repeatec speech of Capt Tiilman, and did ht not approve it and aDplaud it '/ Oh, these chickens, when the} come home to roost, are the devil in carnate Mr. Duncan does need more iacte and more direct evideuce. As a de bater, Governor Evans has him at a disadvantage, and in one on two places his cause has appeared to be weakly sustained. Again, in South Carolina, a man is expected to re? sent an insult, .and when he does not do so the crowd is very apt to cheer the other man. It, however, may require more fortitude and self command to refrain from doing so when an indulgence would spoil carefully laid plans, than otherwise, so there may be exceptions to that good rule that "dam lie means knock down " The end may show in this case. It does not seem to me now to be a question of "Who got the commis? sions ?" That part of the commis? sions already disposed of seems to be accounted for But what Duncan has been hammering at is to get a statement from Governor Evans as to whether he has, from the first, had an agreement with Rhind to divide in any proportion the commissions that Rhind would sret, and if so when such agreement was made There are ?48,000 yet to come to Rhind. Out of that Governor Evans says he is to get a fee, the amount of which has never been named. One point is, whether such fee contem? plates a reward for Governor Evans' recommending Mr. Rhind to Gover-i nor Tillman as a good man to refund! the bonds ; another is whether ther? was an agreement between them ti divide commissions, and if so whetlt? er Governor Evans' share will be-Ac or would have been if this row wlw not raised about it-out of proportiE' to m's services in the case.

Street. The title to the land is fl {be vestry of the Church of theflomforter claiming it, Mrs. g AgnesBaiming it, and the City of jj Surateflit also The confusion as | to whjf^ rests is due to the fact that ^ wheo?i which the Episcopal Church and rmv7 stand was transferred to the vestrle late Rev.

StreAt been opened, and the title j jc callelcified number of feet more or i lessfg from Main Street on the west to whereafter to be opened on the easjbposed street to be of a width of ^ DO? 50 feet nor more than 75 feet. Thf land in dispute lies between the exfcry line of the lot as measured frf^ Street and the line of Harvin . Slid out subsequent to the transfer . of This disputed strip has been left * Jp, and. from time to time daring D( ?w years a question as to the owner- ^ Ie lot has been brought up, but no ~.

C., June 29, '96 Recently the News and Courier published a carefully prepared and comprehensive sketch, by Mr H. E. Young, of the famous French Spoliation Claims. As some of our readers doubtless remember, it has already been mentioned in this correspondence that the family of Mr. Jim Tisdale is among these claimants; the claim comes through Mrs. Tisdale. Owing to the threatening weather Friday | night, tbeJAmusement Club did not have any meeting Yesterday the Bethel Sunday Schcol ap? pointed July 23d as a day on which to give the scholars a picnic. Last week we mentioned what a large Sunday School this was. Miss Julia Nettles has been on a visit to Wedgefield. We return thanks for the cordiat invitation extended U3 to attend the barbecue which was given hy Mr. Burgess Jenkins near Weeks's raiil pond last week, but it was not convenient for U3 to be present. A young'negro man whose name we under? stand, was John Clemens, was drowned at Cain's mill on Saturday. The recent erection of a monument to the Southern negro slaves by Capt. S. E. White of I uri Mill, was an act which will touch a responsive chord in the hearts of many Southern people. We wish a monument could be erected to the slaves of this town? ship. If such a monument was erected and unveiled, we would like to see the following full blooded abd representative negroes of the township (who were slaves here) take par: in the programme: Jim Dwyer, Caleb Neal, Henry Smoot and Adam Haynsworth. We, may remark, in passing, that we don't sup? pose there is another country township in South Carolina where the two races are ou a more friendly footing tban they are in Pri? vateer Township.

The people began ' j coming into the city at an early hour ! in the morning : at 7 o'clock this j j evening delegations were stili arriving, i I All day large crowds hung about the ; McKinley residence and a lively ? stream of callers poured in at the gates. There is evidence on hand that Maj. McKinley holds a firm and j high place in the hearts of the people ] of Canton and eastern Ohio. The I speaking this afternoon was from a j stand erected at one end of a large ? vacant lot. The meeting was presi? ded over by Judge W. R. Day of Canton, who made a pleasant speech and introduced President Wolcott of the Tippecanoe club, who made a short address and was followed by Gen. C. H. Grosvenor His fame as a McKinley orator had gone before him and he was given a most cordial welcome. The chairman iutrodu?ed him as the recognized leader of the Republican house of representatives. The crowd greeted this statement j J with loud cheers. Hon. James M. Hoyt of Cleveland j1 foilowed Gen Grosvenor His \] speech was the mo3t humorous of the day and was heartily applauded. Then followed Charles Emory Smith. The last speaker, save McKinley, was the brilliant young orator who had succeeded him in congress, Hon. Robert ^V. Taylor. A glee club sang a campaign song and before the song was finished, Maj. McKinley came upon the plat? form In a moment there was an out- j j burst of applause and cheering when he rose to speak, the noise being al? most deafening. Maj. Mckinley looked well and was in excellent form. His voice rang Dut like a clarion. He said: My Fellow Citizens : I thank you for this magnificent demonstration.

C., Jaoe 28.-The Commodore steamed a;? tho harbor this afrermoon at 2:30 o'clock. Captain Morton says : ..When the Commodore arrived at Tampa her papers were examined and found to be all right. Then she was searcher] for arms, and, of course none were found. For two days we lay in the harbor and on Thursday wc set sail with no cargo and with the proper clearance papers for Charleston. Be? fore we left th*1 harbor wc were lying very near to tho revenue cutter McLane and if the officers of that vessel wished to examine the Commodore and its pa? pers, every opportunity was afforded them. "We steamed from the harbor very slowly for the machines were net in tte best working order. When about two miles out I heard the report of a gun and saw the McLaoe behind us. Bang! went another and ? ordered the engine stopped and we awaited the arrival of the pursuer. Bang! went the third and this time a solid shot whistled by us, falling not 20 f?st from the vessel. The wind of the shot as it passed was felt on ?be face of every man on deck. If it aad struck us the Commodore would lave beer. sunk. "Thc captain of the vessel came iboard and I asked what meant this mirage ? His reply was that he want jd the vessel to step and wanted to ex imine its papers. He asked if we car? ded a passeogr list and I told him' no.7 ?e examined my papers, went through he vessel and found everything correct. Ie then left us and we continued on to charleston on a peaceable voyage." Captain Morton said that he would irobably leave for New York in a few ays and that the Commodore would re? gain in the harbor. ST.
