Tillman. tS?SKNViLlE, April 16.?Special to Ihe State.?At 9 o'clock tonight a crowd numbering, several hundred citi le ns from county acd town procured a band of music and proceeding to the Mansion House, demanded a speech from Col. Youoians, who has tuaoy ad mirers in this section He was iatro jj doced by Governor Mauldin aud spoke from the balcony of the hotel. His speech was frequently interrupted by applause. Col. You in ans said : t regard your enthusiastic reception hoi as a personal compliment to me, bat as a recognition aud appr?ciation of the spirit of the body of patriots who have pat me in nomination. Many good people familiar with tho present divided, distracted and embit tered condition of the white people of the State, think that in styling the con vention of March 24th, called for the purpose of euifying ?41 of the dissatis fied elements and the platting of a ticket in the Seid which*, in its judgment, was the best qualified for waging an aggres ive fight,;?a "jpeaoe and Unity" con vention was bestowing apon it a title very nrtch at variance with its apparent tpur?ose. But when we remember that *kmid (be wholesale denunciations of the ' administration of public affairs by the Whito people of the State from 1876 to lSOl, charges of perjury, malfeasance and disloyalty to the people and the State have been preferred, repeated and reiterated against men of prominence and ability, whose integrity, loyalty and devotion to the best interests of the -State, have been tested and approved oa t?e field of battle, in legislative kails?io every department of life, until sickened and disgusted manhood and self respect revolted and seemed to demand of them the political repara tion of their author; that large and varied interests which, in violation of law and the constitution, were beiog op pressed by unfair and unequal ass.s-i meets upon their property, under an Administration pledged to a just and impartial exercise of the powers given to it by the people, were considering whether the political bond whose only tnure was that of common consent, e'ioald command their allegiance after t lis power had been perverted to coun ter-rail the pernicious consequences of mismanagement and iucapacity by nn jast aggressions upon their interest ; that it was then, ander this threatening aspect of party disintegration that thir ty wise and patriotic citizens called this convention which unified the vari ous elements and placed a ticket ia the j field pledged, after a full, free and fair I hearing, to acquiesce in the verdict of . the people This course promised the only hope of a restoration of unity to the party, and if it succeeds, the March Convention of 1892 wiil, to a great ex teat, have counteracted the evil effects of the March Convention of 1890 One of the hamblest of your citizens, I stand before yoa holding a comoiis roo from that body. The address which assembled that body, and which was endorsed by that body, and the platform adopted by that body, desig nated the head of the present adminis rtration as the author of oar troubles **nd dissensions, and rendered it incum bent upon its standard bearers to arraign him before the bar of public opinion. In proseca tin g that indict ment, preferred by a large and repre sentative body of citizens from ail over the State, I desire to do so, not only calmly and dispassionately, but in a spirit of fairness. If Governor Till man, as be claimed, inaugurated his family quarrel through an unselfish and ^patriotic desire to promote the agricul tural eksses, and through them, as the foundation of our prosperity, the best fatereste of the State, and has succeed ed, his saccese should entitle him to the proud distinction of a public bene factor, bat if bis premises were assumed to veil an ulterior object, the gratifica tion of a selfish ambition, we shall have to judge him by another conclusion, afterwards reached by submitting him to the operations of his own trying fonare. If Governor Tillman has sus tained his charges of incoinpeteacy, imbecility, extravagance and corrup tion, preferred against the democratic administrations from 1S76 to 1390, then truly, and bevond peradventcre, lias he established a just title to the j claim of reformer, but if the results of ? iiis administration have refuted these ! rcbarges, how can he defend himself from the charge that be is an enemy to j 4he State that gave him birth, and a j defame:: of the party to which he pro- ! /esses to belong 1 If Governor Tfll *nan has avoided the errors with which lie charged and censured his predeces sors, effected the "retrenchment and reform*' which were the slogans of his j canvass, increased the revenue, dimin j i-thed the burdens of taxation and with- j al lias given a broader latitude to the j people for a more healthful exercise of ? political freedom, he deserves, not ou!y j the gra'itode cf ?be public, but should j be endorsed by a re-election ; but if he has iodurged more freely in these char- i aoteristics which he denounced in his predecessors as the earmarks of corrup tion,?if he failed to effect the prom ised retrenchment and reform, to in crease the revenue and decrease the burden of taxation, then may we not .p rtineutfy ask the question if tried by bis own standard he should not be cou rietst! as a political pei jurer ? That he posed as a disinterested chainpiou of the agricultural classes we i ' ?11 know from hi* public declarations ; j he said he ? noted no <fSce aud wouid end this fight, as he. begun if, "pure j end honest, and only a tanner. 1 and | f?*r reward only ankert th?-ir "good opin- \ ion and confidence " We also krone that under these circumstances the ac- j ceptance of a nomination and candidacy ' f.?r Governor would brand hon ;:s a political leper," as can be established by his utterances iu the Ap.il conven- : ?ion of 1886, when he said : ? Little : greedy men. offi ;eseekers and t:ir:r' sateliines, judging me by their own ?Standard <?f pe?fishnesi?, ar: i faring a j political rival, have cri-d. Office ! of fice ! he only wants ofnee ' O'i, if is :: pitiful that iu the sh-?rt fpace of fen years, the purity of motive, ardent pat ri >ti*a?' and useful devotion to duty whiob w-<de p< ? i >?e 'h- redemption of ?the?fate in *7? should b?> a-raceeded by ibis politics! lepr<?sy whieb new perme- j ?ates our eatir? ?overumen?? I f b ic Tha' he charged the Administrations ifrofij JbJ? to 1>?L;? wiih ?.tvujpcUbcy, imbecility and extravagance may be sustained by the following utterances, in a letter January 28th, 1886, to the News and Courier, be said : "These men say the farmers won't stick togeth er, they are such fools, and this thing will soon blow over. Just keep quiet and these farmers will go to sleep again presently and we can continue our mis rule and robbery." ?nsubs<quent let ters he charged "extravagance and imbecility" both against tbe legislature and executive branches of the Govern ment, and on the stump be said that be "could put his band on more sores, leak?, and incipient racality than he could enumeratelo two hou-s," that the people had sold their votes and that men in Columbia had sold their rights. Iu the convention of 1888 he said out rages bad been oointnitted in tbe ball of Representatives which made bim "shud der to enumerate," he "hesitated to ame them, and must speak of them with bated breath.*' Can the^e charges be true? If so, they blast South Carolina. Covering tbe interim from 1876 to 1890, a space of fourteen years, with with public men selected and reselected every two years as tbe exponents of tbe capacity, morals and integrity of each and every community, their truth would prove general depravity,?the utter dis grace and ruin of tbe State. Tbe charges of incompetency and im becility were refuted by Governor Till uiao today, when be said that tbe rotten driftwood who floated into tbe Legislature on tbe Farmers' Movement were not able to cope with the handful of the old regime who remained in office. The charges of extravagance have been refuted by higher taxation, and in attempting to sustain himself today he bas failed to show where tbe State has lost a single dollar by official dishonesty in Columbia. Despite tbe fact that be asserted he would "end tbe fight as be begun it, only a farmer;** despite the fact he was I stronger to carry ou the fight as private j citizen tbau be would be as Governor, tainted wi:b tbe suspicion of having sought to advance his personal ambition by the Farmers* Movement, he failed to resist the devices of the evil one, let tbe devil get in the lead; had something to do with tbe calling the March Con vention for tbe purpose of capturing the State offices, advocated iaimediate action, solicited the nomination, and gave bis enemies a stick, to break his bead with by accepting the Gubernato rial chair. After ail this what has be done ? Did he vindicate himself by a record absolved from tbe charges preferred against previous administrations which he cited as proof of debauchery and corruption ? Oh, we heard a great deal about the bamboozlement and debauch ery of previous administrations by free raiiroad passes. Governor Tiilman told us that we bad and might select farmer representatives who were good men at borne, trustworthy and reliable, but when they got to Columbia the "howdy-do fellows would take them up to tbe Columbia Club and the aristo cratic ringeters would begin to wine and dine them,'* and that "this consorting with tbe big oVu would be so pleasant that they could not be so churlish as to vote against them, Their constituents and poor farmer fiiends would be for gotten." Forewarned is forearmed, j and tbe farmers thought one who could so wlel expatiate opon he faults and I weaknesses of others, if they could only get him there they would be safe ; that all corrupt icdaer.ee and advauces would rebound from his adamantine virtue like the spray from the ilo^k of Gibraltar. Behold I when their A ses got into the Eden of office the tempter appeared?yea, even the "great bam boozier," and the battle o? the uufor bidden fruit was to be fought over agaio, not by Farmer Adam in the Garden of Eden and the set peut, but between Farmer Tiilman, the reformer in tbe j Gubernatorial chair, and the inevitable, irrepressible, bsmbooz^er, Bunch ' McBee ? How did car immaculate agricultural champion, who like unto the righteou* Pharisee had called upon G >d to witness tbe purity of his motives and tbe sin cerity of his intentions, and had repeat edly asserted his honesty and disio terest eduess, stand the ordeal ? He upon whom your fondest hopes bad bung ! Bunch presented the apple in the shape of free pass No. 1. on the It. k D., aud the great reformer did rat He pock eted the free pass and fell. Pie was cheered to the echo when he cited the acceptance of free passes as the ear marks of corruption aud charged such action as a di.-oualification for office. At Union in tbe last canvass he said : "Over in Georgia the railroad presi dents can't go to Atilinta in private cars, take wine and influence the legisla , ture. Over there the ifficers ba?e to face tbe people.'' What a spectacle he must present, 'tis pitiful, 'tis wondrous pitiful, that the great reformer, the the man who spelt Reform with a big R , self bound before tbe people, should be compelled to cry "peccavi I''. This was the man who boasted that he wanted his tracks to remain on the sands of rime, that he did noi want to be a com inou Governor, but a great one like llayne or McDuffie, How sad ir wou?d have been for IJayne or McDuffis after practicing what tbey had condemned in j others, to exclaim when impaled before th-? public, "I made a mistake.'" [Applause ] Who are "Common People"! - ! The Register tells us that tue ' yeomanry are perhaps uncultured I Now who are the common people ? I We will let The Register answer in its own language "What is termed the common people commenced t?> struggle to the surface ami a* years rolled by and | the wheel of fortune continued its revolutions, stronger and stronger ? grew the sentiment in favor of pop j j:1 ir government At 'a^t, by al ftiighty ( ? t h * hitherto dominant element ' \ < aroused :rt<i culminated \ in the overthrow !>! tie* ol I political j rulers "? oiu Siate, t??<* ? * ; ? -1 : t ion ol ? fioV, t:i ?'m! :j e 'epVie cIjh.'j;;''' i in our admioistr:?!

Are we to under stand that The Register sets him down as a common man ? Here is Mr. Ellerbe, young and eratic, but educated and cultured, bent upon doing even more than his duty to the State. Are we to nndei st and that The Register eels him down as a common man ? Aud so with ttie remainder of the State officers ; are they common men ? ]f they are not who docs The Register mean ? Now, mark you, theee gentlemen named all belong to the yeotranry?not one of them can say that the doors to the bvet society ?n this or any other State were ever barred against him ; and we chal lenge The Register to name one single State officer, from Hampton's down to Richardson's term, who ever closed his heart againet any honest man, however poor or humble. No one in this State ever thought of distinguishing our educated and uneducated classes one from another by calling the one "common" and the other "cultured until B. R. Till man introduced the terms during his campaign, intending the "common' as an opprobrious term and leading the people to believe that it had been applied in that spirit to the poorer citizens by what he called the "old aristocrats"?all this to produce class feelings?to put the poor [ against the rich, the uneducated against the educated. It is pre eminently Mr. Tillman's invention for campaign purposes and the ready writer of The Register comes forward now to ?help the demagogue fan his fires anew. Who are common men and who are not ? Let The Register give personal examples of what it means since it has taken up Mr. Tillman's term and applied it anew. Never before in the history of this State was there a closer community of feeling among its citizens in the social relations, and he who would do anything tending to check this progress towards an cudaring brotherhood among our people ought to receive the severest condemnation and reptoof?Columbia Record. Feminine Affinities. A strange phase of schoolgirl life has been developed recently which is ac couoted for as a result of the close inti macy which follows protracted exclusion from masculine companionship It is the intatuation of one girl for another, which is sometimes so strong as to lead to tragic results. There is hardly a woman's c->Hrg? or seminary in the land in which such in fatuation is not rife, and heartaches and heartbreaks from this cause are of everyday occurrence. It is a subject upon which every college girl is reticent unless among her own fraternity, but it is also a subject with which every girl is fully acquainted, and in al most every case she knows it by experi ence. There undoubtedly is s ich a thing as woman's love for woman, and it is de veloped in all the ardor of the "divine passion" in these communities v. h? e girls live exclusively among themselv ? A girl ?3 sent away to school at the time when she is most susceptible to the sway of? her affections. She is separa ted from the teuder, sheltering home 1 ? : she is isolated from the healtful companionship of her brothers and their friends. Her first condition in school is one of helpless and miserable home sickness. lier heart yeirns for the home caresses. In this yearning condition some oue comes and, in the careless bou homme of school life, purs an arm around her or kindly prchS-s her hand, aud presto, the deed is done! Ob, What a Cough.
