Tbe last of the county campaign meetings was held Saturday io tbe Court House and the campaign brought to a close, saving the most important event of the whole mat? ter-the pr'mary election to be held on Tuesday. The fate of the candidates cow rests i i the bands ot the people and th =?r election or defeat is in the court of last report. The meeting was well attended by a repre? sentative body of citizens that nearly filled the Court House to its capacity. All of the candidates for Congress, the Senate, House of Representatives, and county offices, were present and made speeches, except Col T. V Wa'sb and Mr. B. L. Scarborough, candi? dates for Probate Judge and Treasurer, re? spectively, who, having no opposition, merely bad their candidacy announced by the chair? man . The audience gave all the speakers careful and considerate attention,and liberal applause was accorded any telliog point or happy and appropriate anecdote. Tba meeting was called to order at ll o'clock by Mr. H. G. Osteen, President of the Sumter Club, wbo presided over the meeting The ?rst speaker wes Hon. Altamont Moses He referred to his services in the House of Represeniative3 and Senate briefly and asserted that no charge cf incompetency or neglect of duty bad ever been brought against him He devoted the greater portion of bis time to making a clear and concise ex? planation of his position on the Lee County matter and a full statement of the rearons for his vote in favor of the passage of the bill establishing the county. His opposition to tbe establishment cf Lee County was a mat? ter of record and was well known to bis con? stituents, and consequently be was not liable to be charged with selfish motives for bis vote He bad voted ss be believed his duty and his oath of office required, and. having per? formed what he considered to be,his duty as an honest mun and a true representative of the who e people, although to do so was to go counter to bi3 personal preferences, be bad no apologies to make nor excuses to effir. He bal always striven to do his duty honest? ly and independently, leaving all things, .-ave right and justice, out of tbe cons dera? tion and he would Dot be dictated to nor have his vote controlled by any man or set of ajen among his constituents or by any one eeciion . of the territory he was chosen to represent lu the present circumstances aDd condition he favored the dispensary ?ystem as the best solution of the liquor problem and believed that it had materially decreased drunkeQoess ; j already. He favored the elenina'tioo of the 1 objectionable features of the system and would work to bring this about. Referring to the usr of whiskey samples while a member of the Legislative committee on the dispensary, be said that he had used whiskey sent to the Board of Control by the wholesale liquor dealers as samples and for distribution as advertisements of their goods, and he did not consider that be had reen guilty of a wrong or improper actioD. The liquor was '-ot intended to influence the com? mittee tn aoy way, ioasa ucb es ttte committee bad no power to purch se liquor of the wholesale dealers or otherwise benefit them, being simply a ommittee to investigate the management of the dispensary and make a report to the L gislattire. lu conclusion be referred specifically to several bills that be had introduced dur ne bis legislative career that thu bad beet of ?reat benefit to the people at large and had saved thousands of dollars annually to the taxpayers One law alone-the Public Printing law-saved $15,000 annually. He asked re election for a second term because be was qualified by experience to serve the people of Sumter County and his record was proot of bis ability to do so. I Mr. Manning said that he bad been inform? ed that many rumors were afloat that were calculated to injure bis candidacy : that he bad entered ioto combinations He charac? terized them all as false; be was makin; a clean race and would do nothinc that he would have to regret. He was g ad that Mr. Moses bad modified tbe tone of bis rema, ks and that he did not claim all that be tad done at Shiloh and Providence, where he tad to be called down He said that Mr. Moses deserved credit lor the passage of the priming bill, which had saved money to the State, and while be did not desire to blow bis own horn, felt it was right to give some attention to what he had himself accomplished ; that when be was a member of the legislature be bed introduced biils which bad saved hundreds of dollars to th 8 county each >ear ; these bills had caueed antagonism, but be had servrd his county's interests in hnving them passed. On ifae State Board of Eqoalizaiion ce bed saved to Sumter County $3.000 a year. He said ih:?t at Providence Mr. Moses had admitted that he had accepted liquor from I the dispensary as a gift. He did cot charge j that Mr Mosts had accepted it as a bribe, but that ii was wrong and improper for bim to receive it. and if Mr. Mose* did not see it ttnt way, so much the worse for bim ; that in the capacity of a pur>!ic officer, charged with the invesnganon ot the dispecaary, be erred in accepting a gift of iiquor from the par' es be was to investigate ; mat "tbepith of safety wea tn? pa b of honor." He said that Mr. Moses had endeavored to explain bi-* posiiion on Lee County. It ia not a satisfactory explanation He 3iaied that I Mr. Moses WHS opposed to L-e County, but said he wouid be guided by :be report ct' the committee to which the bill waa referred. That committee's report in the Senate wss uv/avorcble, but notwithstanding the fact tint be hid said be wouid be guided by that report and the showing made, he moved ;o J make it a special ord r and spoke and voted ! for it. He said at Shiioh that affidavits w ie produced thouing how many h-d vot d for the nev? county Can it be possible that Mr. Moses would let such evidence override the sworn statement of tte managers of election ? We all know what tffidarit business in such matters amounts to. It was, io say Mhe least, a wotful lack of discrimination, discernment and discrimination Mr. Moses was elected to represent Sumter County, the whole county, nor a part. We caonot tell vet what the result of his aciion wiil be, but it his otj-ct is attained cer- : tain it is thai Sumter County will suffer from his action. Tbe territcry cut oft' is the very cream of the county, its people are us good as any we have, and ?/f can ill nfford to let them go ; the property cut eff :u Lee County amounts to over one and one half milli n ; dol ara It is no reply >o say ihat the teopie I of that section warned it He bad to decide ! tor hims-lf whether the Bili should be voted for or uot, and be decided in the t ffirmative. 1 He is not mote conscieniious than such Chris? tian gentlemen who composed the. Committee on Privileges and Ekciiors? The report of ! the committee w?i9 uofavorao!e. Tnia com? mittee was composed of disinterested and in? telligent gintleaen of high character and Mr. Mose?, all things considered, would have j been ampiy justified in following ttem and representing the mteiests and wishes of the I people of Sumter County, but De failed to discern this ; he abandonen the people's in crests who elected bim. He was recreant to j the trust imposed in him. Ua education Mr. Manning declared that be j was in favor ot ali education, the improve? ment ?)f the common schools and tt e ?mt-rs! support of the institutions of higher learn? ing. Un ;he liquor quastion be said that bu would prefer to see Prohibition that would prohibit, but until then be wouid favor the dispensary, which was a ^reat improvement on open bars, and it had reduced drinking and drunkenness ; it waa now the law ai.c a thiti^ accomplished, as such bbould have a fair chance to be etrictly enforced ; und oe would favor throwing arouod the dispensary all the safeguards possible. He Said be was familiar with county gov? ernment and would introduce hills to pro? mote efficiency and economy, also wide-tire b'.ll, forestry, also on health, io fact was in favor of bringing the government as close borneas possible and letting taxpayers see bow their money is being spent. He ex? pia ned bis Australian Ballot Bill and show? ed th-.t it disfranchised no uneducated person -provision being made for that He said in conclusion : In coming before you as a candidate for The Senate, I do so oa my record and on my meri;. I have endeav? ored io every public posttion which I occu? pied to discbarge my dnty with diligence and fidelity. Tf elected I stand pledged to give my best effort to the work and to jealously guard all our interests, and to work ever for tbv. betterment and noral advancement of all oar peop'e I realize fally the responsibili? ties as well aa tbe honor of the position. I will endeavor to discbarge tbe one, and exalt and appreciate the other By agreement Mr. Moses bad five minutes in which to reply. He discussed several points of the Lee County matter brought up Mr. Manning and explained bow the reports were reade by the House and Senate commit? tees and his part in having the bill placed on the calendar, and made a special order, so that it could be acted upon before adjourn? ment, instead of leaving it. to ie over until the ?ext session. The Senator from Darling? ton County who was opposed to the forma? tion of Lee County favored the pisBage of the bill, for, as be stated in bis speech, he waa satisfied that the election bad been fairiy aid honestly carried in Darlington County, as well as in Sumter and Kershaw, and this tes? timony from a man who lived close to the scene of dispute and wa3 personally acquaint? ed with the facts, together with the showing made Before the committee, had euch weight with the Senate that the biil passed with only a few dissenting votes, and no division was demanded, the victory being so apparent to all. He favored the most liberal support of the Board of Health and had voted for the appro? priation asked for by the State Board. He favored the liberal support of the State col? leges and the improvement of the common schools. The candidates for the House of Represent? atives spoke in the following order : E. D. Smith, J A. M. Carrawar, McDonald Fur man, J. H. Wilson, W.*A. Nettles, D M Young E C. Hayosworth and A. K. San? ders. In fifteen minute speeches they out? lined their platforms, and those who are ask? ing for re election gaye an account of their sttw&rdsbip. As their speeches were similar to those delivered at previous meetings there is no neceesity for -a detailed report. Hon. J. W. Stokes, who is a candidate for re-election as the representative ot the Sev? enth Congressional District, discussed and explained the income tax, his rural free de? livery of mail bill, the bill to prohibit gam? bling in futures and gave bis views on the annexation of foreign territory. Mr. Tbos. F. Brantly, who isjopposing Dr. Stokes made a forcible speech defining his platform and appeared tn captors the crowd Dr Stokes and Mr. Brantley bsd a lively exchange of explanations of charges and counter charges that have been made during the campaign, which the crowd enjoyed im? mensely.
