Speakers Still ^Speaking.
300 or 400 Aiken Voters
R| Hear the Senatorial
Candidates.
Aiken, S. C., July 14.-Between
0 three and fear hundred of the tweoty
seven hundred voterB in Aiken County
?ame out to day to hear the Senatorial
candidate? The court house was cooe
fbrtably filled. The old-time enthusi
;y; asm was missing. Messrs. Evans Irby
; and McLaurin each spoke for an hour
or more, aod when Mr. Mayfields time
.? came the crowd was so weary and had
scattered so for dinner that be had the
mercy and good sense to speak for only
ten mic otes.
Governor Evans said he regretted
- that there was so small an audience.
The issues that are now up have not
been publicly discussed for years. Mr.
McLaurin, he said, had by act repudi?
ated.the true Democratic doctrine and
platform and was a Republican under
Democratic cloak. McLaurin's policy,
he urged, would only enrich the few
and make the cost of things higher to
the masses. McLaurin should come
out like others, he urged, as a protec?
tion Republican, for it was wrong to
serve as a Republican in Democratic
livery, The Republicans never gave
the Democrat anything unless they
sold out or gave ten for one. Accord?
ing to the papers, McLaurin is doing
everything in Washington, and it would
pay to ask the government to let the
State have the $30,000 and bring the
others home. He said he would say
nothing about GovernorEflerbe'snot tak
ing the endorsement of 40,000 voters
over the few weasly politicians. He
never asked fer the appointment. If
McLaurin's policy is carried out it will
cost the farmers 20 per" cent, more on
necessaries
\ A?; to Tillman's position, he cid cot
think it the same as MoLaurin's, but if
it were, Tillman was wrong and be
would tell him so and vote against him.
He spoke a long time on the cotton
schedule and said it gave the North the
very club it wanted with which to rob
the South on the compensatory tax on
; bagging and ties. It was like selling
ont for a mess of pottage, with the
Southern masses getting nothing.
Colonel Irby said be first came to
Aiken to see how the Reform move?
ment would take in ibis section and af?
ter his visit told Tillman all was safe.
He spoke of taking is new blood aod
that Mr; Henderson was the biggest
catch since 1890.. (Applause.) Said he
wanted to talk as a Reformer, Demo?
crat and farmer. Talking cf bis being
* the daddy of Evans he said when Till?
man wanted Eilerbe for Governor, he
had told Evans he should be Governor,
he made Tillman quit. Ellerbe and go
to Evan s and elect bim. He said he
ha? always been opposed by "the
clique" io Columbia. Mayfield was the
child of Shell, and so an orphan ; Dun?
can of the devil, and McLaurin of Gon?
zales
As to hi? Dispensary views, be said
he wanted thc system given a fair
chance. It was tar better than opec
barrocas He helped make the law
and believed the system right yet. If
there were any rottenness it should be
remedied and if aay dishonesty it
should be punished. ?
Talking of the R:form movement,
be ra'd if it had cot been for him Till?
man would still be selling butter in
copperas breeches. The movement, he
said, started in thc defeat of Geo.
Gary in 1880 If Gary had lived be
would have been elected in 1882 and
and there would have been no occasion
for the movement that vindicated
Gary's assassination. He found Till
mao, proposed to him at Dan Tomp
,klee's house to run for Governor and
Tillman readily assented, and l c was
elected. He would only barr- road*
tbe fight in the Dd mooral ic party.
He said be would tell what kind of a
Democrat be was aod that be was not j
tbe sort as ihe Governor of the State, ?
who bas sold out the Reform party to
the G?nz ii es party. He then went j
for the Governor's coarse in reprimand- j
ing and dismissing privates and not
reprimanding Gen Watts. A repri
maud was to abase and cass on", Et
lerbe's course was, be said, ''harsh, un
* i
democratic and ao warran ted;." (Ap?
plause ) If the contract with Gonzales
is carried out. fee said, this great friend
of tbe people i< to ?un the State and in
ten years every iactory would baye
negro labor Negro labor was already
u*i*d io Charle-ton. and be understood
was to be used in Columbia He was
opposed to getting negro labor in mills,
a? this was getting the girls too near
negro labor which was suited to farm
labor
While io ?he Senate be only made
two speeches, as he saw no use for talk?
ing He always voted for his people,
and when he fought the sugar differ?
ential he held the balance of power
and could have gotten a fortune fer hie
vote. When he voted for the people
he got no credit or newspaper pufls.
He said he was sometimes afraid
to go about the hotels as some one
might get in trouble for sayiDg
things about bis farmer-like appear?
ance.
Mr. McLaurin said if he were such
a remarkable man as to be a Populist,
Republican and Democrat, and could
arrange so many deals he would not
think of running fox Senator, but
would aim higher. This was the first
timo be had ever been sassed by a
corpse, be told in connection with a
joke.
The talk about his being in a com?
bination was entirely to throw people
off of the scent of the corobina'tion
against him. Ile complimented Irby's
political sprewdness As to there
being any combination against Mc?
iver, he and Mr. W. D. ?vans did as
much as auyoce to elect Mciver, and
as to Irby's hurrahing about defeat?
ing grand old meu, he would remind
him that Irby defeated Wade Hamp?
ton, who had done much for the
State. He voted for Irby as a party
man, and his only regret was that
Irby did not use his ability and brain
to till the place as be had hoped he
would.
His every vote he contended was
strictly on the party platform, and he
bas never been a protectionist. He
thought it robbery to get more money
than the government wanted
There was a Republican House
and Senate and President, arfd none
of the Democrats made the bill or
had much to say ; but should they
try to make it as much non sectional
as possible, or not ? Should they
try to equalize the bill or not ? The
bill was going to pass ; nothing
could defeat it, and the question was
whether to sit down and let it go as
it was prepared and presented, or to
try and get something out of it for
bis people by trying to get justice
and equality. He waDted such
things equalized. There waa never
proposed any increase in the price of
eating rice, and the bill .does not j
raise the price, but simply changed j
!? the classification so as to tax the rice
the brewers have been using.
. As to the fallacy of the argument
used against the cotton tax : Last
year short staple cotton was brought
to New Orleans from Mexico, and
more will come unless there is a
duty. Senator Bacon, and not he,
proposed this tax on cotton He
said he would keep up his fight for
all time for free bagging and ties.
As to voting for the high tariff on
wool, that was in committee, and had
nothing to do with the bill. It waa
a fight between McMillan and Bailey,
and he stood by Bailey, who, he said,
some were trying to get in a hole.
The committee fixed this, regardless
of bis vote, and it was a purely side
fight.
Evans did not seem to know how
to get along without Tillman's coat
tail. He thought he was on it, but
now Tillman says his views are iden
tical with his own, and Evans is still
holding on to the coat, but the man
inside.of it was gone.
Mr Mayfield said as everyone was
tired he would speak for only ten
minutes He said most emphatically
he was in no combination and was
running on his own hook He stood
for true Democratic doctrines at all
times, and consquently did not be?
lieve Mr. McLaurn's position correct.
Mr. Whitman's Kick.
Threatens to Appeal to the
Whole Democracy of the
State. .
G. Walton Whitman wants to appeal
to the whole State executive committee
from State Chairman Tompkia's deci?
sion that his pledge was filed too Ure to
permit bim to enter the senatorial race,
and failing to bave that decision re?
versed be talks of an appeal-to the
who?e Democracy of the S'ate.
Here is a letter received by State
Chairman Tompkins from him yester?
day ;
Jonesville, S C , July ll
Hon. D. A. Tompkins, Cbairmm
? Columbia. S C.
Dear Sir-Be so kind as to let me
know whether the newspaper report is
true that you have ruled me out of the
campaign ; that I was too late in filing
my pledge ; also, in case you have, is
there cot an appeal to the whole b.iard?
Very respectfully.
G. Walton Whitman*
P. S.-Provided you have decided

thing can be had. Anyhow there is
an appeal ro the whole Democracy. I
hope, however, that you have not de
cided as reported Verv truly,
* G. W W.
Mr. Tompkins promptly replied that
the newspapers bad correctly stated his
action and remarks in regard lr* tho
failure of thc pledge to be ?!ed in time
He added that he would bc pleased ?o

erecutive committee at its next meet?
ing. Mr. Tompkins, however, did not j
state thar thc next meeting is after tho

i any idea of calling an extra meeting of
j the committee.
LIVELY IN EDGEFIELD.
The Largest Meeticg of the
Senatorial Campaign.
j Edgefieid, S C., July 15-The
I largest and liveliest meeting of the
j campaign was held here to-day Be
j tween -400 and 500 people were pres?
ent. The usual routine was broken
when Senator McLaurin, following
Colonel Irby, went for the latter's
career in the Senate. McLaurin,
j armed with the Congressional Rec
i ords of the Fifty-second aud Fifty -
I third Congresses, frequently brought
j Irby to his feet to make explanations.
Colonel Irby, the first speaker, was
j g*?g^ed w"1^ 8?D3C applause. He
j was in Edgefield for the first
j since 1890, said he, to see the r<
j lion of the people's great tri I
j Ben Tillman. Ile was here
j fighting combinations and was
j now fighting the "State II
I gang,'' which was attempting
parcel out the offices of this J
from Senator down to coroner
am running as a democrat," decl
Irby. ' I am the only original p
age in the lot " McLaurin
patented his speech. At Beau foi
wanted protection on rice, at Cha
ton on rice and long staple col
but he didn't think he had a pate
protection speech for Edgef
McLaurin had the people fooied
is uot on the same platform as
man Tillman had declared
wasn't.
Proceeding on a new tack, he
dared that McLaurin had go
Gonzales for his political daddy
the world can't beat him He 1
declared) that he and Tillman v
the political daddies of all of the
didates, but thought they were tr
ing him with disrespect by oppot
him.
He had been politically assa
nated and thrown out for dead
cause he resisted the great cons
racy last year against the democr
party He was a demociat, aiw
had been and could be nothing e
because he was for the interest of
people. *
Colonel Irby then attackd Mci
rin^s tariff views, declaring that 1
man had said they were iniquitc
and ' I know you will believe hin
you won't me You people here h
him and believe what he says "
Colonel Irby attacked the news
pers. He declared that Mr. Gonza
had prevented a Conservative fr
entering this race Mr Gonzales 1
.called him a liar in to day's pap
which was unparliamentary ; no t
usually called him that when close
him, however. He attacked 1
Forty movement He believed tl
every white man should be allow
to vote and therefore disapproved
the constitutional suffrage clause
Colonel Irby made the asserti
that he and not Tillman had ma
Evans Governor. He, with Tillmi
he declared, had bad Saluda ma
into a county and left Edgefield Cc
servativ? with Sheppard to run it
Reviewing past political h is lo J
Irby asserted that last year he con
have gone to the Chicago conventi
as a delegate Gantt, said he, car
to him at 2 o'clock a. m and sa
that the State convention had left
place open for him He sent wo
back that he would not accept b
cause he was unalterably opposed
the declared bolting policy of tl
party
Editor Ball next came in for prai
for coming out against the newspapi
combination at Columbia The Elle
be Watts episode was repeated bi
elicited no applause He declare
that he pould prove that the "Sta!
House clique" were going to tui
out Mciver and that Tillman kne
they were plotting against him
He concluded by reviewing his n
cord and declaring that he had a
ways been with the people Co
Irby was wildly applauded when h
took his seat. He kept the crowd i
a good humor and they listened al
tentively
Senator McLaurin began by re
viewing his record as a Reformer
The Reform movemt. he declared
did not depend on the life of an;
man, cot even on that of Tillman
He jumped on Irby for saying tha
he made Tillman support Evans fo
Governor He thought it time for ;
a Reformer to step in when a mai
like Irby boasted that he made th<
Governor "Who" ought to raak)
the Governors of South Carolina, th<
white votes or ?lohn Irby ?"
Irby, from hie ?eat-"The whit*
voters "
"But you said just now that yoi
made Evans Governor "
Irby: "Weli, I helped " (Laugh
ter )
McLanrn attacked him for devis
iug the Colleton plan in order tc
foist Evens on the people when they
didn't want him- Senator McL2urir
caused much merriment by para
phrasing Henry IV, substituting
Irby for Falstaff, Evans for Prince
Hal and Larry Gantt for Pistol in the
scene where Prince Hall becomes
king and ignores Falstaff
Ile had no political daddy, he de?
clared, but he did not know before
that Editor Ball .ras acting in that
capaci?y for Col irby.
Mr. Ball hotly interrupted, saying
that he was the political daddy of no
man and was opposed lo Irby.
"Well you are not for me "
"Taht'8 true, too," rejoined Mr.
Ball,
Senator McLaurin then proceeded
i to j severely attack Irby's record
! while in the Senate. Before begin
1 uing; he explained tereins ''paired"
? and "voie called "
! Irbb'a record for thc first session of
j the Fifty second Congress was as fol
1 low.? : Votes taken, 89. Irby voted Io
j times, pairr.d 10 times, not paired 6(5.
The first session of the Fifty-third
j Congress, he .?aid, was called to repeal
the purchasing clause of thc Sherman
j act. Senator Irby's io-'o for silver
j could be seen in Iiis record during this
: session There were 49 votes takeu ;
Irby voted 19 times and did not vote
30 ; wan not paired 22 times ; did not
answer to call of Senate ll calls Col.
J Irby's record for this Congress was
I gone into further.
i Senator MeLauriot theo declared : "I
[am sick looking up such a record.
Here was a life and death struggle for
j silver rod absolute indifference 3S to
' ifs fate/'
As to bis absence from the Fifty
I third Congress, Coi" Irby explained by
.saying that he and Senator Butler ab
? sented^ themselves to break a quorum
: and keep the Senate from repealing
? the Sherman purchasing clause. lr
! was a filibustering measure. He was
; always oe hand to cast his vote
As to bis absence from the Fifty-sec
j ond Contre.*?, Col Irby said that was
j a Presidential election year and he was
j at home as State chairman looking af
1 ter the interest of the party. "You ai!
! know the Conservatives didn't know
they were whipped, and ?bey were
planning to capture the May Conven?
tion. Tillman was runniog for re-elec
j tion. We wanted the delegates to the
j Chicago convention. I was sent there,
j and this passing back and forward ac
! counts for much of mv absence.'7 Be
j sides, continued Col. Irby, he was
j paired on all political questions. On
other questions bis "pair" would al?
ways ascertain by telegram bow be
stood.
Senator McLaurin again returned to
the Congressional Record After a lit?
tle he asked : "Do you want to elect a
man to *he Senate to represent the
State and then let him absent himself
to run all the parties of the State ?"
irby-"I have quit that now."
"Yes, because the people have quite
vou." answered McLaurin.
rn*
Coi Irby, getting permission to in?
terrupt Senator McLaurin. jumped on
him for hi3 affiliations with so many
parties. He again excused bis absences
from fhe Senate on the ground of sick?
ness and dea?h ia his famiiy
Senator McLaunn continued on this
aggressive line for a whiic longer and
then procaeded to make his usuai tariff
speech. His speech in aril lasted aboui
j two hours. It was frequently applaud
I ed and the crowd evidentlv favored ic
i Before taking bis sear. McLaurin took
i .
a band primary on his tariff views
About, one-half showed their approval
by voting. It wan after 2 o'clock when
Senator McLaurin had concluded The
audience at onoc began to leave the
court house fer dioner.
Tbeu Mr M-iyfield arose to speak,
j Mr. Mayfield made his characteristic
anti-dispensary speech, but in addition
j said that after iotroduciog bis bill for
[ its abolition he bad had conference
j with Governor-Ellerbe. The Governor
asked bim to withdraw it, which he
did. Mr. Mayfield said that inasmuch
as McLaurin charged bim with being
in a combination that be would say Mc
Laurio is the appointee cf the Gov?
ernor and Governor Eilerbe declared to
bim (Mayfield) that be would back Mc
Laurin with the whole force of his ad?
ministration. Eilerbe urged bim not
to ruc, saying tbey intended fo favor a
new party composed of conservative
Conservative and conservative Reform?
ers
By the time Mr. John Gary Evans's
tarn to speak came arouod tbe crowd
bad returned from dinner. He made
bis usual tariff speech and in it'severe
J ly attacked McLaurin for bi? views.
He read favorable comments from re?
publican papers. Evans charged that
McLaurin bad never been faithful to
his friends Had it not been for Mc
Laurio. he assered, Judge Wallace
would now be a jusrice on the supreme
bench. While be was working for him
McLaurin was knifing him for Pope, in
order to get Pope's place as Attorney
General When he wa9 running fer tbe
Senate last year McLaurin knifed bim,
he declared
McLaurin, who bad just returned
f-am dioner, said that he had helped
Evans in his race for the Seoate. His
defeat was due to Irby having forced
him, as Governor, down the people's
throat.
Evans declared that the lie was out
somewhere. Then McLaurin sat si?
le t?t
A lively spit on McLmric's vote on
the tariff bill ensued. Tbe crowd lis?
tened attentively. There was decided
evidence of vindictiveness, towards
Evans, while the crowd cheered Mc?
Laurin at every opportunity
When Evaos finished at 3 30 p. m.
the crowd bsgan to call again for Mc?
Laurin. He declined, however, to re?
sound.
