Met'own. there would. In all probability, have been a personal en eounter between the two candidates. This was the nearest approach to trouble, which seem* In these good day* to be looked for at a political sseeting In Florence. "They do say" that ther Is some? thing in the atmosphere that makes candidates want to tight when they get to Florence. Somehow, though, It is nearly always only an nproach So a scrap. He Is said, however, '.tint Ihe Joint debate of the candidates for Kate offices here today was heard by possibly the largest, and certainly the most demonstatlve and uproar? ious crowd that has yet greeted the eandtdates. There were fully fifteen hundred persons who heard the two aspirants for Oubernsrorla! honors; some are of the opinion that there were MOTS.

Meeting* Wore Friendly?Senator Tlllman Not Present ? Other Speakers Talk About Their Rec? ords. Columbia, June 26.?The cam? paign for the position of United states senator from South Carolina opened in a good-humored, happy go-lucky fashion yesterday morning in the Richland county court house, where two of the candidates. N. 1'.. Dial of Laureni ami \v. Jasper Tal bert of Parksville, had an audience of about 100 voters to hear their speeches. B. R. Tlllman, the third candidate for the senate, was n:-t present. A. F, Lever who is unop- J posed for reelection to congress from the Seventh district, did not attend the meeting. W. Hampton Cobb, al? so unopposed for reelection, an nounced briefly his candidacy for the position of solicitor of the Fifth circuit, which he has held for the past four years. Both the candidates for the sen ?c who spoke to the Richland voters e.\pressed the wish that their cam? paign might be conducted on high plane, and if the meeting yesterday were a fair sample their wish will be fulfilled. They indulged in friendly jibes at each other, but their speech? es were without a trace of bitterness or animosity. Each of them declared that in their opinion Senator Tillman ought not to hang on to the office he had held for IS years for senti? mental reasons, if he were physically and Mentally unfit to serve the Stale. Mr. Talbert intimated that Sen itor Till nan's expressed desire to die in harness might have Its origin in free rr.'iroad passes and a salary of |7,500 annually. SOUTH CAROLINA DELEGATION.
