Jones a: d Thompson were in Washington to conferwiih the war department hbput the Second S* uth Caro !iua Regimen?, a correspondent for the News ami Courier hail an inter* view with Mr. McLmrin and a great deal has been said by some Democratic Senator about one expression in the interview. The newspapers took up the idea that Senator McLaunn was in favor of Mr. McKiuley's election in 1900 without any opposition. Col. Jor.es, who was present and lnard every thing that was said gives the Columbia State the following: So much unjust criticism h?s been made of Senator McLaurin on acr connt of a dispatch sent the "News and Courier" by its Washington corrssnondent. that I feel impaled io the interest of justice to appear in public print. I wa* present when the interview between the senator and the reporter, saw and heard everything that passed, and there is no room whatever for the charge thai Senator McLaurin said a word anbeooming a Democrat. The report sent by the repoiter is very meagre and only purports to give one or two sentences of the con versation that lasted nearly an boar. Even this, however, would not have occasioned any criticism if it were not for the headliness of that wonderful artist who presides over this depart raent of the News and Courier. No:\T d) I ihiuk the reporter intended to do the senator 8n injustice, and I am sure he will agree wi'.k what I -shall say. Senator McLaurin, Col. Thompson and myself had pasted a very busy day at the war department and wound up with a call on the President. There | " - * ? ? IS 110 dOUOt all Of u? weie xccnug ?0>d, for we had succeeded beyond our fondest hopes in savin* oar beloved State from tne indelible disgrace cf being the only one in the Uuion that failed co respond to the call to arms. It was a very hot day and at 5 o'clock in the afternoon the senator and myself retired to my room at the Metropolian and in true* Democratic style bad taken off onr coats and collars to cool. Mr. Lamer called and desired to know what we naa accomplished and all about our mission. We proceeded to tell him and from the account of our trip to the White House the conversation drifted on to the war and ths war policy of the President. Senator McLaurin spoke frankly and intelligently on this subject and agreed to give Mr. JLaruer an interview. He made some notes and handing them to Mr. Larner told him to write tbe interview out on the lines we_jsLece taikinsr Ha said in sub_ Stance what the dispatch states, but in a different connection entirely, and with no such intention as some of his critics have sought to make appear. [ canuot undertake to recall al! that was said, bnt this is jhe substance: That the President had displaved great wisdom in the. conduct of the war. He earnestly sought to avoid war, but w.h?n it was forced on him, eminent success had followed, which, with h:3 nonsectional policy, made him th3 mo^t popular President since Af A nrlrotn .To/>tcAn Thftt. if. LiJv> uaj C V* AUUIVU vuvmwvu* -v was a great mistake for Democratic leaders to antagonize the war policy of the President, because the real issne between the parties was the money question, and when you era pha^ized the war issue you obscured the money question and "destroyed all hope of success. He said that if the war issue were the only question and the election were to come right now, ilcKinley would be renominated and elected by acclamation. This is about the substanca of what Arfnrrprt and fherA was nothinfir uil democratic or wrong in anything that . ? I saw or heard. If the correspondent had given all that wa? said the most fastidious democratic palate in the country would not have rejected it. I am chairman of the Democratic partv of South Carolina and certainly it I had heard one ot our senators say something not in consonance with our principles, I rconld have noted it. "Wilie Jones." It will be noticed that Senator McLaurin thinks well of the President's war policy, aud that if that record was the only issue in the next presidential election then he would favor the elcclit;h of McKir.ley without opposition. Certainly any Democrat might have taid ike s&ae thing, and that without any propriety. It will be observed thnt Ppnator MoL^nriii was careful to cor.fice himself to the war, and he did not fay ihat he was in favor of bur\iDjr in the next election the fanda- ' mental distinction between the two parties. Col. Watson's advise to his friends to vote for Governor Ellerbe is very str&cjfe, to say the least of it. Daring the canvass, Col. Watson gave as his reasen lor making the race, that Ellerbe was weak, incompetent and wholly unfit to be Governor, that Elierbe had not measured up to the standard. Not a great many people in South Carolina, judging by their votes, considered "Watson the right man for the office, because he received an exceedingly small vote. But the point vre w>>h to make is the inconsistent position of Watson before and after the primary. As th? Greenville ^ News well states it, he has deliberately commiuea suiciue. n jwieroe was N\ west, and wholly unfit to be Gover"Npor before the first primary, which Watson told bis friends was true, how could he bave expected his friends to take bis adviselto vote for bira in the second, primary? Watson was vigorous in his attacks on Ellerbe, and now be has completely reversed himself. He has-nmmitted suicide. j ISecretaey of War Alger wants aa investigation and General Milles wants one just a? much as Alger. Ihen tbev . L ought to have it.

Th?

As we >a?sed aloni? the street, it was Ci.'ed vi;h the most motley and hardened ookiDg crowd (hat I h-xve ever s en. The meeting was in progress when ,ve entered. The rcom was perhaps iaif lull, and even body was quiet ar.d )rcierlv. On the platform sat Mr. Iladlev ajicI evcrsi others.
