STEVENSON, OF ILLINOIS. COL HOYT'S HOME. Senator Tillman attended the campaign meeting at Greenville, the home of Col. Hoyt, last Mon day, and delivered one of the best speeches of the campaign. 'He answered Dr. Gardner, who had denounced Tillman from the pulpit, and warned the people of the attempt to rally them around denominational flags. Senator Tillman gave Col. Hoyt's home people some warm medicine and from the news we get from that county, it is doubtful if Col. Hoyt gets a majority vote. We take the followitig extract from the correspondent's report: This has perhaps been the largest and liveliest meeting of the present campaign. Senator Tillman seemed to have on his old-time steam and the cheers for "Hoyt' and the hustling got the steam up an he spoke with ve hemence. Tillman spoke for more than an hour and, as he promised, took up the sermon of Dr. Gardner of Green ville. Tillman made the best speech of the campaign today. He had two pri maries. first whether he was justified in charging the ministerial-saloon keep ers' "alliance," and many approved of his denomination and that there was the "alliance.' But it was-his prohibi tion-dispensary hand primary noted, and he called me up and said there were 2,500 present and wanted the vote fully noted. There were not over twe'nty or twenty-five who voted or his call f'or prohibition: when the dispen sarv vote was called for the hands wvent up'as if out of a Gatling gun. Fully twenty-five to one was the record: the dispenisary had the overwhelming num bers voting and Tillman said this would be the result in the primary. Tillman today made a connected speech and was sever-e on the ministers going into poli tics, and talked plainly about Dr. Gard ner, who seemed to have many friends in the audience. The tidings from China are very unsatisfactory. One day a report comes and it is contradict ed the next day. On yesterday a battle was i-eported in which 1200 of the allied soldiers were killed and wounded. The minis-, ters are said to be alive, but no authentic verification of this much desired fact has come yet. We very much fear that the con ditions in the East are more serious than many think, and the fact that the Chinese have been laying in great quantities of modern arms, and have been em ploying European military talent ever since her war with Japan, makes us believe she is prepared to give the combined world a fearful struggle. In our opinion the trouble in the East is vet in its infancy, and should China succumb to superior knowledge of military science, when the powers go to slice up that Em pire the real and serious trouble will begin. There are all kinds of cranks in this world, and the greatest of these, are those men who im agine they are holier tha'n other men, and it is their duty to make men holy whether they will or not. This class of men imagine that they can legislate holiness into their fellowman, and you will find them inventing all kinds of moral questions to pester leg islatures with. There is a law now on the statute books of New Jersey which requires every man to go to church on Sunday: of course, the law is ignored, but occasionally some zealot falls back on this obsolete statute to punish some erring brother who has disappointed him in some way, or who has given him some cause for real or imaginary griev ance. Just so, will it be if we wer to place on our statute books a prohibitory law against the sale of liquor: the law wvould be generally ignored, but once in a very great while, on account of a per-sonal grievance, the viola tor of the law would be hauled up and punished. In this day of religious liberty and freedom of thought, the puritanical ideas prevalent in the early settlement of this country, appear fanatical, and what was thought to be nec essary for the betterment of the moral condition in the year 1000u, would be regarded in the year 1900 an unwarranted abridgment of a citizen's rights. Nortn Carolina's election to amend her constitution resulted in a magnificent victory, and Alabama follows suit. One by one the States are following South Carolina's lead on the suf frage question. The news from all parts of the United States show a decided brightening of Democratic elian ces for success this year. Bryan in i,1, had a divided party to lead, today his party is virtually solid, with a great many Repub licans who had left their party on account of its foreign policy. A reat many Democrats op pose Bryan's financial views, but they regard the money guestull settled, at least for the present, and they will support Bryan. and their party on the anti-in' perialism and anti-trust planks of the party platform. They regard Imperialisin and Trusts the paramount issues. There are thousands of vot11rs of both parties who are opposed to a colonial form of government in the Philippines, they claim that a Republican goverment cannot control colonies and live. With such conditions it re mains to be seen which is the stronger, the money power which is backing the Republican party, or true Americanism which should be the controlling factor in our politics. The South will, as heretofore give Bryan a solid support, and if the Democratic party can in crease in the West. there is some hope of victory. Bryan can win without New York if he can se cure an increased support in cer tain Western States. He can win without New York and In diana, if he can get the electoral vote of Illinois and Wisconsin. Or he can win if he can get New York and Indiana. The outlook is not at all hopeless. Col. Cole L. Blease, one of the candidates for Lieutenant Gov ernor. is fast coming to the front as the most popular candidate for that .position. The people are beginning to find out that he is the man who made a fight on the floor of the House of Repre sentatives to require the school tax money of the white man to be applied to the white schools. His speeches on the liquor ques tion are even stronger than those of the gubernatorial candidates, and at a number of places his ar gument for the dispensary was stronger than Tillman's, so much so that Tillman complimented him. Blease is a young man of fine ability, which was recog nized by the people of Newberry county in nominating him for the Legislature before lhe was 2 years of age. At the last elec tion he received an overwhelm ing majority on the first ballot. Blease is a close student and he is known in Newberry among the factory operatives as "a law er with a soul." We have no opposition to any of the other candidates for that office, but we believe that Cole L. Blease is the best qualified one of the nunmber. He has legislative experience, and his ability fits him for the place. His record shows him a friend of the people, and when ever opportunity offered itself le would champion their cause. He is a strong advocate of the dispenary system, was a memi ber of Governor Tillman's staf and always a strong defender whenever Tillmnan has been as sailed. We will vote for Cole L, Blease. DISPENSARY STRONGLY ADVOCATED. Prohibition Condemned--Blessings of Dispen sary Methods. Mr. Editor: In the discussion of the dispensary law on the stump and else where much stress is laid on the fact that the dispensary law is not enforced. and administrations past and present brought to blame by opponents and Prohibitionists. With an earnest de sire to be enlightened we ask, how~ will a prohibition law be enforced? Theory is not logic, abuse no argument. pro or con. Yet we have failed to see any one o)posed to the dispensar-y give a pr1ac tical, plain statement of the manner of dealing with the liquor question if they succeed in tearing down, through the legislature, the present law. Oh yes. by retaining all the good regulations of the dispensary law but no constables. no raidings, 'no meddling with the hotels or club pr-ivileges, no search for illicit liquor on promises of private cit izens. 0 what faith in poo human na ture: What innocent trust in unscrup ulous men who damn their own and other' souls in their greed for gold.
