Richardson oct to run. I didn't know the '/armers wanted me for governor and an honorable man could not run, hav? ing promised Governor Richardson not to run. If I opposed him it would look like ? was false. Notwithstanding I had 20 votes over Richardson and was ambitious, ? felt that I would not be true to oysslf if I had accepted the nomination. In spite of spite of what I said, I found my name would be pro? posed, ? said to Phillip Gaillard that if my name was presented ? could not ruo. Notwithstanding this, my name was p seo ted, and I seut to my brober, Pr. Earle, to say that I could not ac? cept. Who would say a man should accept office at the sacrifice of his per? sonal honor ? To you Mr. Kollock: Would you say so, sir ?" Mr. Kollock-No, not under those circumstances. No. 6. "Who brought you out in 1890, after tb* -21' conference had brought cat Brattoo as a candidate against Tillman ? Who was the 21 conference V Judge Earle-Twenty-one men who arrogated to themselves to elect a man for governor. They had a perfect j right to meet ? cime out afterwards | because I was not subject to the 21 COD forence. y No. 7. "Will you be kind enough to tell the people bow Gen.

Mr. Kollcck-Didn't you ride up in ! a carriage drawn by four horses, while be went in a 'bus ? Judge Earle-I was cot responsible ! \ for that, if my friends got a carriage j for me. I have beeo cut with Tillman j not only when be rode, but when bis ; , carriage was pulled by his admirers, j j while I hid to walk. (Laughter.) j j No. 8. "Are you willing to say now, j as you often said in 1890 on the stump. ; that the Shell manifesto, which Till- j ] man himself wrote, begins and ends j ^ with a lie., and ti a lie from beginning j j. to end ? If you have changed your j ^ mind about this manifesto, will you : j. kindly teil the people upon what ground ; and what newly discovered facts have brought such a wonderful change of P view in so short a time." ? ^ Judge Earle-Yes, so far as corrup- ^ don in office is concerned. Tillman !. said time and again that he did not ! 1 fi- . 1 v charge the officers with being corrupt. ? I know he would say it now. Mr. Kollock-Has be ever retreat- ? , ed ? ? \\ Judge Earle-He bas on the stump j . time and again said he did not charge t it I.

But a Natural Consequence cf Campaign Methods for the Past Six Years. Special to Tte State FLORENCE, July 24 -Well, the clash has soute It has almost seemed a miracle that in the campaigns of '90 ! '92 and '94, when there were candi didates of opposing factions on the stump, when party bitterness ran high and there was every cause for the ex? citement of passion, there were DO personal encounters upon the stump. In those years the mark was toed many times, but no one crossed the line. It has been reserved for this campaign of education, in which there was no fac? tional lines, for men holding the most distinguished offices in the State to eDgage in a free fight upon the stump -worse than the stump, it was actually upon the judges' bench in a court house. It was a shocking scene for a South Carolinian to contemplate, but it was the culmination of practices upon the stump that have heretofore been dis? graceful. Perhaps if a dozen men had been killed to-day it would have been a blessing to the State. It might have so shocked her people as to awaken thew fully to a realization of the degen? eration of her public men. Those who have followed the campaign closely are as wejl qualified to judge of who was responsible for the unfortunate affair to-day as those who were eye-witness of it. Governor Evans alluded to General j Earle as a fice dog with its tail cut \ General Earle resented that by at- 1 tempting to slap the governor's face. ; { Blows were exchanged and they '.tere j ( ieparated. It really makes little dil" j ' '"crence as tu who struck the most tell- j j ng blows. Judge Earle has a bruised j face, and claims, together with half , t d?zea men, to have been struck by a , uau who ran io when they clinched. J joveruor Evans, ? believe, claim" to j ( lave "landed with his right," and to j lave received a blow on the back ot lis head. I ? The attack was made with great j [uickness, and tbe 400 men who were j tacked in the court house were for the j uoment too astonished to realize what j ad occurred. Then it was that one j ujddicious act by a too excited man j nth a pistol would have resulted in a ed carpet of blood on the court house od most of it would have beeo from be hearts of men who had come here y be instructed in great State and na ional issues. This was uot the only extraordinary icident of the day. The charges pre srred by General Watts against his pponent, General Richbourg, were of character not brought upon the s.ump ince Democratic rule. This matter I , 'ill hardly rest where it now is. j . The attack made by Mr. Duncan on rovernor Evans was particularly vebe leut and scathing. Mr. Whitman also seemed to be in a gating mood, making heavy lunges at Ir. Ellerbe, who tefused to notice im. A collection of the choice word? and hrases used to-day will be interesting ears hence. : " ! w JUDGE EARLE. Judge Earle was received with cheers , od applause. He regretted exceediog j tl p that candidates could not t*ou>e be- i ?re the peuple on issues instead of j lc ersonalities. He thought it would be j G siter if they would go out., forma; ng and fight it out After they had I ?ttled their differences they could come j ack to the people. But he would | ^ ?Mst that if there was a meeting be- : feen the candidates for adjutant gen- j al, Gen. WTatts should be mounted on j . elephant This was by way of j * leasartry, but really the people did : ei ;>t care about these personalities ; they I a< anted tu hear issues discussed. i , : ? AS TO EDUCATION. ; ^ He approved of what Candidates j ar ayfield and Robinson had said about i (j ie importance of education. Th?. edu- | e? ition of the masses was of the utmost jportance. The last United States ?OPUS showed that 45 per cent, of the jople in this State over 10 years of ie could not read. It was claimed is was because of tho iarge negro )pulation, but the same report showed ^ tat 17 per cent, of the whites could cc )t read, and 84 per cent, of the ne i c Iii ?oes. bc As to taxes, they might figure as j r.r ucu as they liked and read the comp- ; 3C oiler's books at much as they pleased, it they cou'd nor make taxe-- any wer-the figures might seem to make i em so. but they were harder to pay f. td it took more products to pay them i t]j .a THE FINANCIA:, ISSUE ; as (Jen Earle made a strong and clear ha esentation of the rights of silver ano it 0 masses, demonstrating bow wi?h i bi e appreciation of golf} at; injustice aji &s done the white meta! and severe ow struck at the great body or ir:U-iU- ha mts of the country. When his time IS exhausted, ike audience called uf>- lei 1 him to continue speaking.

(Cheers and continued ap plause.) Gov. Evan? was received withoa demonstration He was glad Judgi Earle had put. Iii* speech on such ; high plane He had hoped the cam paign would bave been so conductet from the first, but it had not been. Judge Earle- Who was the first t< decend from that plane ? Gov. Evans-You at. Lancaster when you propounded to me question! which implied I had given my brothel State insurance at a higher rate. Earie-Now, governor I did no! wish to go into that matter. The ques lions were handed to me by a man whc is prominent in the State government I bad the right to ask them-any cit? izen had, and I did so in as courtouj manner as possible. It was you whc descended from that plane, when al Chesterfield you made certaiu allusions to me Gov. Evans-Boys I told a little joke on bim and I've a good mind tc tell it here to-day Judge Earle-Now Gov. Evans, let us understand each other. I do not propose to allow you or any other man to treat me io a disrespectful man nner. I havestood more than I intend to stand again. (Wild cheering for Earle. ) Quieting the crowd with mo? tions ot his hand, Gen Earle continued: "I will endeavor to- treat him as (be governor of South Carolina, but I'll uot forget 1 am a man." Continued cheer Gov. Evan?-Now sit down, lou have got to treat me as a gentleman. (Hisses.) Governor Evans defiantly said he knew be was among biu enemies : they hated him for enforcing the iaw, but- he would put it down their throats -or words that effect. Why did Earle try to get out of ihf-.t questioning by putting in a State orfi ;er? You have promised ro furni.-h Droof and you have not dct-e it Judge Eurie (drawing some papers 'rom his pocket and mounting the ?itt?<. itand by Governor Evans' side)-I lave t: e proof-not ali bu? flirre will >e more Governor Evans-Ob, yoe have got 0 produce it Judge Earle went back to the Lan? caster meeting where Governor Evans tad said that the board of control had .greed on a policy which he carried out, nd therefore be had only called one neeiing of the board in '95. This had icen contradicted hy Mr. Tompkins, rho at Chesterfield said there had heeo ? io *uch agreement. Evaos-Get down to your point. Judge Earle had understood from ; Joi. Tompkins, who spoke in the reseoce of Mr. Mayfield and Mr. Rob? son, that when a shipment of beer ame from some other except the Char ?ston brewery. Evans wanted to have ; seized. He uudetetood Mr. Norton, be other member of the board, tu say bey had not agreed on a policy Mr. Norton said he had been misuo erstood. He had said that when the oard had elected the commissioner and ?erk, an agreement o-' policy was thus idieated. Governor Evans-An agreement to arry out. Governor Tillman's policy od I was to enforce it. Judge Earle announced that he had an ffidavir here from Mr. Maxwell of An- j erson. Governor Evans-Who is Mr. Max ell 'I Judge Earle-A gentleman. Governor Evans (sneeringly)-Ob, ley are all gentlemen. Tbs Maxwell letter was read as fol >ws : erman-American Insurance Company of New York. J. D. Maxwell. Agent. AMEMOS. S, C., July 20, 1S96. ;on.

I then inquired from the compai ; why they allowed an agent from a ; other place to write insurance in u territory, and was told the contract w made with Barnard B.

The State lost $2 42 by this "deal Wm Goldsmith, Jr. Sworn to before me (hi.- 22nd day July, 1896 H. J. Kayn&worth, Notary Public for South Carolina.

Judge Earle - You misusderstooi ! me j It v?as the governor's duty, said he ' to know what wa.? being paid for dis ; pensary insurance. He should havi known that his brother was receiving more than other agents. He wou'd no have referred to th:.* matter if Gov ernor Evans had not brought it up ir the manner he did. With tbat remark. Judge Earle gath ered up his pat ers and WHS going of the stand, when Governor Evans askec for the documents. Judge Earle hand? ed him the tfro letters he bad read, saying. ''Be sure to return them." Governor Evans-Do you think 1 would steal them ? There were other papers in his baud and Governor Evans asked for them. Judge Earle said those letters were all he had to give now ; the other papers were private-did be wish to see pri? vate letfeis and decrees ? Governor Evans said he saw among them a letter signed by L. J. Williams, a man from whom he had taken beer that had been unlawfully shipped He thought it only honest that he be given all the charges against him. "Is not that right, fellow citizeus ?" He must show up or shut. up. I demand that he show up or shu: up. Judge Earle had left the stand and taken his seat among the other candi? dates, lt referring to Maxwell's let? ter, Evans said : "Why did not that thief who had been getting from the State 1-2 of 1 percent, mote OH in? surance than it was worth, not inform the authorities of it before he was about to lose the insurance ?" Judge Earle-Governor Evans, be fair to that gentlemen He gave the information as soon as his company reduced the dispensary rate Governor EA ans said these people attempt to break him down with the testimou}' of a man who convicts himself of stealing 1-2 of 1 percent of this insurance money. Judge Earn- - Ile refers yon to his] company's slip Evans-Sit down Judge Earle: let me make my speech. To thc crowd-The truth hurts : and I am going to stick it to bim. Gov. Evans then jumped on towns in general and Florence in particular. A young man who was standing near him made some remaik which was lost on all but the governor, who hollowed at him : "What have you got to do with it. sir':"' Tho young man inplied : "1 live in this town.'1 Evan.*-Well if you don't like what ? say lump it " lt was bad enough when Earle tried ta bulldoze1 him, but when these little fellows attempt? ed it, it was too much.

"Knowing him I do, I say he is unworthy to breatl her name I know his immorality If it is so with the other official God pity the offices !" When charge was made, said Mr. I)unca Evans said "it is a lie," but win you bring the proof, you see t! spectacle that he has made of hil self when confronted with it 1 Judge Earle.

He had said to Senat Tillman, "Is there a man in ali o midst who has not been so slander* by this man thal you could belie him ?" Governor Tillman had sa that Dan Tompkins3 was such a mai he would believe him above all ot o'rs. Senator Tillman should ha recognized his light to repeat this.

(Cheers ) d Let's see. said Duncan, how justly : Evans has dealt with the evidence . produced by Judge Earle. The : point is this : When Evans is gov , emor, his brother has the State's in? surance. Ile brought this on him " ; self when he said that my brother r I received a salary from the State and v ' went even further to declare that my s ; younger brother, whom I pay out of ' ? my own salarv, was in the State's j i employ. How has he treated Mr. 4 ? Seibels and held him up as an enemy ' j of Reform ? When after the trouble j in Darlington thc insurance on State ? ' j property was cancelled and il was in , , danger, Mr Seibels went to Govern j j or Tillman and offered to insure it ' ; and Governor Tillman gave him the j ; insurance. It is seen how he has I : been treated by this mau, who says I that Mixson gave out the insurance. : Ile was chairman of the board and I Mixson doubtless k.iew he was not 't ; offending his chief. He says Misson ' : gave it without his knowledge or consent. That is a remarkable decla? ration for a man holding his position to make. j Mr Duncan was listened to with I close attention and was several times : applauded As soor? as the meeting was de? clared adjournd, Mr. Duncan being j the last speaker, there were loud ! calls for Earle Judge Earle was in one of the jury rooms surrounded by* I his friends After the demonstration I had been kept, up for some time the i judge responded, walking into the ! hall and saying a few words to the ' men who had gathered there He ; regretted exceedingly he said, the j events of the day, but had been taught by his father and grandfather never to tak?-1 an insult, and he never would Ile was loudly applauded. In tlie evening the chief of police of Florence called at the hotel where Governor Evans and Judge Earle were stopping with warrants for their arrrest '>n the charge ol disorderly conduct When the chief told Gov . emor Evans that he had a warrant, I he was informed by that official that ; it could not bc legally served upon i him, and if it was served, he would : forcibly resist arrest and would more ! over take charge of the Florence I police loree Governor Evans claim ! ed that the chief executive could not ! be arrested by a police officer The chief retired and reported to the i mayor, and these officers met the j governor at the depot beiore his de ? partute, and assured him that they I mean' no disiespect, and had simply ; be?
