WSDN.S.Si?AY, JULY 29, 1S96. The Su7H?er WcUchmosn was founded in 1850 and the True Southron ia 186'rj. The Wfafctoaa? ana Southron DOW has j the combined circulation and influence j of both cf the old papers, and is mani-j festly the best advertising meainm m j Sumter I A SAD SPECTACLE. The altercation at Florence Fri-j day between Governor Evans and | Judge Barle has been the subject j most talked of lately, and so far as has come within the hearing of the j writer has been both regretted and ; condemned. That men occupying such high positions and aspiring to j another that is held to be still higher, ; should so far forget themselves and j what is due to their exhalted posi lions, and likewise to the common - ; wealth that has honored them, is ' mortifying to all high-toned South Carolinians It is the generally ex- j pressed opinion that the campaign, j as conducted is doing no good-but j the reverse ; and that a discontin- j nance of farther meetings will be the j proper course to pursue. Many j order loving and law-respecting voters axe now of the opinion that a nev/ and better man is needed in the Senatorial j race. j From the comments of the News j and Courier and The State the follow- ! ing extracts are made : j The State : After six years of the j prostitution of politics and of the lowering of public taste and honor the culmination has been a fisticuff between the governor of South Car? olina and a judge clothed with the | ermine of justice! A fit outcome truly, disgraceful and humiliting as it is * * * * This affair will probably end the primary system It ought to. The News and Courier : Doubtless Judge Earle felt that he had no other recourse bat his fists, but he should 1 have remembered that some consid? eration was due to the high position whlcn he now fills-in his role as a candidate for political office he should not have lost sight for a moment of the character and conduct befitting a Judge. * * * * There is nothing of which any self- ! respecting Carolinian can be proud in the course of the present campaign or in the conduct of the candidates j for the more important offices It is bad enough to know that we have such candidates-it is worse to let j the outside world know it If the ? campaign could be closed now with out another meeting or another j speech it would be well for the State, j NOP DENIED, BUT 'UNAU? THORIZED. The oaci^aign mooting was held at Aiken yesterday and passed off quietly The following summary is by the special correspondent of the State : There were no sensational features io to-day'? campaign meeting here. lr. was Governor Evaus' home, ar,d \u had a strong ''pull" on the boy>, bu: that was expected. Senator Ti ll OJ-rn '< was here to-d<y and made his appear- j ance in the court house during Geo. I Barber's ?peech Toe building was j packed, and as soon as Tillman entered the door there was a tremendous cheer. Govern>>r Evans had entered a few min ate? before and been welcomed with : applause Vol the volume of sound was j but half that which filled the building j when the senator came iu Mr. Duncan again made his state- i ment as to conversations between Coi. ? Mixson and Governor Evans on rebates. Col. Mixson wa? absent and Governor J Evans mildly orooouoced the declara- j tinos false Mr. Mayfield publicly re- j pealed a message sent Governor Evaus j by Mr. Mixson, saying Mr. Duncan's! statements were unauthorized. Gov- > ernor Evans seemed satisfied with such refutation of Duncan's statements." Judge Earle was there and is report- ! ed by the same correspondent, thus : It was proper, said General Earle, that those who oame before the people asking for office shoald be like the Roman j seo&tors, robed in white-willing to : show the people that their records were j clean. General Earle repeated what he ! has several times stated, as to how and j xhy he entered the race for governor in 1890. The "Shell Manifesto'' charged j there was corruption io office; he de-j dared such charges were false, and he S3td so a till. He had gene before the ? People facing certain defeat ; he had "egged, he had dared any one to show i anything wrong with his office. Tba God, sach was not charged against hi Governor Tillman had not charged He had been fair in his dealings wi him and he had J>een fair to Ti?ma No brave man would condemn him entering that campaign and m ak i the contest. Io IS90 he had go down as a caudidate, but he had sto up as a man. He did not come before the peat sa)ing to any man, ?ave me or I sink he would not say it if there were sui a man The people were the ones exercise their sacred right: to vote wi their conscience. It should not. be the power of any mau to say, ''gi this man that office,'' or "thar m: this office." He rejoiced in the achievement of t: Reform party ia thai it wa* the Dem eratic party ; he rejoiced ia what it white people had done , becau.se it w his party. Ile hoped he was no? narrow, not so little as not to praiss ar man, from whatever faction, who mad an able, ju-st stand for !be right. I. hud commended Senator Tillman** e fort in the Sar.-ate.

Al ?ao? a ray of light h^s illumine another dark spot in Reform. Wh would have though- :.? Yet yesterda Mr. John T DUL?;.'?':J made ?J norm thrust at thc long-hidden dispensary rt bate matter. And it. is interesting-ui how interesting. From which revels lion it may be weil to settle upoo r?>es statements : State L'\juor Commis stoner Mixson had some q-?alni? of c irj science touching the offer of the Mi Creek Distilling company. Bar he wa assured by Evans ?hat B?u "Tiiitna had filled his pockets frora the sam source." Whereupon the liquor wa ordered and the rebates were-wher do you suppose? That is the point, of th whole matter. That rebates were givei does not admit of question. If the Statt received the benefit of them Commie siooers Mixson's books ought to shov the fact If rebates were given ant the State did not receive the rebate t< which it is entitled somebody made wai with the money-stole it in other words There has been a suspicion afloat foi some time that there was something crooked about this rebate matter. Mr Buucan's charge is, therefore, of public interest. If he can furnish proof he maj Dot be United States Senator but bi will have oooferred a real benefit, on bis State-something that he may feel just ly proud of. The future course of ? h ie matter will bc watched with interest. The whole affair should be rigidly in? vestigated -State, July 28. Washington Letter. WASHINGTON, July 27, lfc96. Bryan's uominatiou tor President by the populist convention after he had de? clined the nomination because that con? vention had nominated Tom Watson instead of Sewallfor Vice President was much more satisfactory to the average democrat than it would have been un? der other circumstances. Of course Mr Bryan would nor, even it he could, do anything to pievent the populiste voting for him, but their noni mating bim utter bis declination wilj relieve him of obligations Vrhich would o .bet wise have existed. According to in? formation received in Waa h in gt on, Bryan would have received the vote or ail the populists whether he had Deco nominated by their convention or not. Unless those who ought io know are altogether out in their reckoning, tte nomination of Watson fur Vice Presi was oue >.i those meaningless i hm ?.-j which are sometimes doue> in poll.ics, and no doubt is telt of the election of Bryau and Sewali should the democrats aud populists ecmbined have a majority ot the electoral col? lege. Nevertheless it is feared that Watson's nomination may cause some trouble in several of the Southern States should there be both democratic aud populist electors pu: up and voted fur in those ?tates, as now seems probable, aud there is ot course, a possibility ol there being trouble io the electoral college should the Bryan majority be small aud the balauce of power be ned by Bryan aud Watson electors. Secretary Hoke bmith is out for Bry? au and Sewali, aud Secretary Carlisle and Postmaster General Wilson are expected to declare for :he ticket very shortly. Noue of these gentlemen are responsible for the belief,but all the sumo it exists that if Preeideut Cleveland pub licly declares against the ticket, as it is feared be will do, there will be a breaking up of the cabinet, caused by the resignation of the mt meiers who will support the ticket. Allot the democratic organizations in Washington have appointed Co cu ai i - tees to act jointly in settling a date and making arrangements for a rousing ratification meeting. As Mr. Bryau is expected to be the principal speaker at this meeting it is likely that thc date selected will be near that upon which the big notification meeting in New York City will be held. There was some amusement at tho Congressional Committee headquarters and among democrats generally at ibo report that somebody had hired Madison Square Gardens at New York City 'fur an indefinite period from Aug. 1st, in order to prevent the Bryan notification meeting being held there, as con te m plated, the idea presumably being thal good luck attends a democratic candi? date only when notified of his nomina? tion io Madison Square Garden, bacanas Mr. Cleveland received his notification \ there in 1592 If Bryan', uuemirS have money to s ;.?*?<] tn tbnt way, ibu democrats will merely iii ve - r. > * r-i the icy laugh and hold the notification j meeting somewhere eise, out of doOra. \ if it be necessary to accommodate the ! thousand? who have already announced | their intention to attend the meeting !

The price of cotton ties has been increased from S5 cents to gi ZO a bundle-an advance of 100 per cent, in one year. lu the meantime, there lias been no advance in the price of labor or of material to justify the enormous increase in the price of ties. As to the trust or combination that has increased the price of cotton tics 100 per cent , no language would be too- strong; to voice the indignant protest of the helpless victims of what appeal s to be an inexcusable extortion, Ina time of unexampled depression among Southern farmers, it dor-s appear to be nothing short of an outrage to increase the price of cotton ties from 65 cents to ?1.30 a bundle The increased price has been care fully kept, a seeiet by the manipula? tors of the !ru>t until a time when it is too late for the farmers to make ar? rangements to secute ties from other sources A few years ago the farmers of the South were the victims of a similar outrage at the hands of the Cotton Bagging Trust, but by united action and positive agreement ?nv?us, them clio la? niel s . ?? t?eieHi n ty by ?be use ol tuinti o*uc than iron lies j;.:- baling ii: Baloy of cotton goods in rh are sec::?ely bound with roi would be >J splendid thin cotton farmers if ii were p substitute colton ropes foi iron ties It is a mailer of regret that Jue farmers did not continue the use of cotton bagging gnd offer inducements j Jar the making ot' bagging ? ut of cot? ton which would meet all commercial : requirements.
