Tillman has at last given expression to what we have long believed to be bis con trolling motive. At Lancaster he said that 'possession is better than peace and unity." There is trouble in the TiHraau 5 te-Alliance camp in the 6tb Congressional District. See what Vt. D. Svans bas to sa? about Gen. McLaurio and his violation of pledgee and friendship. Meanwhile Jeremiah Smith, the Conservative candidate, is making a vigorous canvas*. Boft. George Tillman is stirring things in the Dis trict be has so long and faithfully represented. Col. Ta?bert, Superintendent of the Penitentiary, wants bis shoec aodjhag been at work for months, but he is no match for his opponent either in ability or as a cam paigner. Every Democrat who intends to vote at the Primary, should know positively, that his nasse is en * club roll. If it is not, have it enrolled at once. Unless yonr name is placed oo a clnb roll five (5) days previous to the election, on August 30th, yon will not be entitled to vote. Every vote is important in this coonty. Attend to this matter without delay and oot later that the 25tb, under any circumstances. The ?serait made on Maj. B. B. Murray by Tiilmanites at Behon Monday, was an out rage of the meanest description. It is, how ever, indicative of the spirit of Tillmanism, and anlese the good people of the State, many of whom have' espoused the cause of Tillman under a misapprehension, realise to what TtHmanism tends, we believe that worse outrages than this will be common at no dis tant day. In Tillmanism we see the seeds of anarchy. The editor of the Colombia Register offers to pledge himself to write no more political editorials in Sooth Carolina if the position of the Register is not overwhelmingly endorsed at the August primary. Doesn't the editor's engagement expire about that time any way, and isn't be perfectly safe in offering to make that pledge under any circumstances? Seven dollars a day is pretty steep even for such ser vices as Col. Gantt renders the eacse that so sadly needs reformation itself. Themas Watson the Third Party Con gressman from the Tenth District of Georgia wrote' a book for campaign purposes and among other things charged the Democratic members with drunkenness on the floor of the House. A committee of investigation was appointed and he was called upon to substan tiate bis charges. This be failrd to do, and the commi-tee passed a resolution censoring hiss. Watson was seeking notoriety, for be has always played to the galleries, and the result is, no doubt, highly gratifying, not withstanding that be touvi himself uncom fortably near cxpc?eion for willfully slander ing his colleagues. We nave received a marked copy of the New York Mail mi Express, the most bitter Republican and Sooth-bating sheet of the country, containing a special telegram signed by P. G. Bowman, Chairman of :be Kolb Bxecative Committee of Alabama, which states that Kolb carried the] State by at least 30,000 majori ty ; but that the regular De mocracy h*d, by all kinds of fraud, appa rently overcome that m?j >rity and elected Jones. The special concludes thus: "Mr. Cleveland'* friends is this State are the prin cipal sapper tats of Got. Jones, and if they ander take to seat Go v. Jones by stufied bal lot boxes in the black belt which the Kolb man in thai section claim tbey are trying to do, Alabama will certainly give her electoral voto against Mr. Cleveland." And these men have claimed to be Democrats. DEMOCRACY. Congressman Wilson, of West Virginia, said in his notification address at Madison Square Garden : "The duty of the Demo- } cratic party commits it to a never-ending warfare with the strongest and most enduring forces of human nature?the lust of power and the lust of greed.'* Governor Benjamin R. Tillman te human It is oot of the chief boasts of himself and followers thai be is the exponent of the rug ged est and most enduring forces of human nature. Tillman and this paper are agreed for once conccring himself. He repr?senta the forces of human nature spoken of by Congressman Wilson. Hence all good Demo crats should see that it is their duty to oppose him, for by so doing tbey are fighting the enemy of tree Democracy, the lust of power and the Inst of greed. If any doubt that Tillman has exhibited a Inst for power we shall take pleasure in prov ing the assert ion. THE VENAL PBESS The press has come to he for the most part a business enterprise, run for the money or political plunder. Its influence is for sale. It manu facture* publie sentiment on contract. Thoroughly venal and mercenary, it would strangle the Alliance ?nd its principles for the money to be had o* the plutocmt and the i corporation.? Address of the Darlington j County Alliance. J The great effort of the demagogues now ! ascendant in the politiral life of South Caro lina, is to cause the mass of the people to lose faith in the honrsty and integrity of the press. Tbey know whom to fear ; tbey know that their hypocrisy and ttme-serTing methods to deceive the people into giving them office will be exposed and kept before the public view by an nnbribabls press, and that ander such espionage their time of fattening at the public crib will be brief. Cons quently, they see thai one of two results must be achieved to enable them to successfully continua their tactics. The honest ptess must be destroyed and replaced by their servile tools, or commun confidence in tbe4 honesty and public 8p;rit of the press must be swept away. In gome places the first plan bas been tried, but has not j proved successful, and now the second plan is being generally adopted. No slander is too vile or falsehood too brazen for them to utter against a newspaper. Tbey seem determined to go to any extreme to accomplish this pur pose, and yet at the same time tbey know that the charges are false. The know that nine oat of every ten papers in this State ean be neither bought nor influenced by any price or consideration. They should know this after so many unsuccessful efforts to seduce to j their cause papers that they declare to be : lenslsod untruthful. In the days of Reconstruction one of the ; leaders bad occasion to thank God that their voters did not read the papers, yet tbey found the continual exposure of their rascality, by j the press very annoying, aud it was to the t Sorts of the press that their overthrow was j due. The carpet-baggers attempted to I destroy the influence of the press by exactly the *tn.e methods emp'oyed by the dominant d-rnnrogo** of to-day, and they were At one time the True Southron, then owned bj Darr & Osteen, and edited by Mr. W. G. Kennedy, was the oniy paper in the State that advocated an active and uncompromising straight-out fight against Radicalism and resisted the attempt to almagamate, as was attempted in the Carpenter and Butler, and Green and Delancy tickets. Many who read this article will remember, tb? fight was kept up in tbe face of the most bitter opposition. The, then, dominant element withheld all public printing from that paper and spared no effort to cripple the business. When they found that these tactics had no effect on the policy of the True Southron they attempted to bay It ap. On one occasion a repr?sent?t ire of the State House gang approached the pro prietors of tbe paper with an offer of $4,000 for the discontinuance of tbe paper for one year. This was about three times the cost of the entire outfit, but the proposition was promptly and decisively rejected. With in the past year this paper has been approach ed more than once by members of the present dominant element with offers of material and substantial support, if, in return, this paper would discontinue its active opposition to Tillmanism. They did not stipulate that Tillman should be supported or defended. I We rejected, as the course of the paper testi fies, the proposition with as great decision j and promptness as the proposition of tbe Rad cals in 1873. ! The recent proposition was identically sim I Uar in intent, and as disgraceful as the one of I 1873, and it was treated as such. It is such thing9 that give us grounds for opposition to Tillmanism, and an abiding contempt for its leaders. When they declare ! the press of the State to be venal and cor ! rnpt, tbey evidently judge the press by the ; motives actuating themselves; but they should know, some of them at least, from personal : experience, that these charges are false and that the press is not to be purchased or in fluenced to uphold them in their demagoguery. Campaign Notes. At Lancaster Gov. Tiillman declared that whether there was peace in the State or not, he would have possession, which was a great deal more. The most exciting meeting of the State campaign occurred at Union. There came dangerously near being a personal diffi culty on tbe stand between Governor Tillman and Col. Orr, the Conservative candidate for Lieutenant Governor, which would have ! resulted in a riot. In his speech Governor Tillman asked Col. I Orr for bis authority for saying that a preach er had said that he {Tili man ) had flaunted his profanity in public. Col. Orr explained that he did not divulge private conversations, and added that Till man knew the statement was true a? he could ascertain by appealing to the preachers in general. The Governor said that sometimes an oath slipped out, but that it had done so only on oce occasion during tbe campaign. He appealed to the ladies present to signify if in their opinion they considered bim a blackguard, but of course there was no re sponse from them. The Governor then said that Col. Orr or any other man who said he flaunted his profanity in public lied. Col. Orr advanced to tbe Governor, and, catching him by the arm, wheeled him around and asked bim if he was trying to raise a per sonal difficulty. Governor Tillman replied 'hat be was oot. and Orr shook his finger in bis face and told him he could not intimate that he (Oor) ]>ed without having it thrown in his (Tillman's) ' teeth. He told bim further that Tillman bad ! boasted of being' "God Almighty 'sgentleman." Tbe Governor replied so be had, and Orr re plied, "He did not do himself credit when he made you." He again caught hold of tbe Governor and asked him if he meant to intimate that he was a liar. The Governor said that it Orr did not originate the statement his remark did not apply to him. By this time the crowd had becomes raging mob. People climbed up on the stand, men pulled off their coats, swore like troopers and gathered around the two men. It looked for all tbe world as if blood was to be shed. Col. Orr stood to the rack and told TJIIroan he had repeatedly used curie words on the stand. The Governor said he had not done it but once, and he would leave it to Ex-Gover nor Sheppard, who, however, had nothing to say The excitement by this time was intense. Coi. Orr again caught ho id of Governor Till man, woo bad turned bis bead toward the crowd in front, and told him if he wanted a fight he could get it. Tbe Governor said be did not, and Col. Orr went back to his seat, remarking that Tiilman must let him alone. Tbe Gove; nor turned to the crowd and said no living man could bulldoze him. After great difficult? the crowd was quieted.?Au~ gutta Chronicle. At Spartanburg Voumans cornered Till man on the free pass matter. He asked it Tillman bad not accepted a pass for o'her members of his family and if any other Gov ernor had ever done likewise or used a trank to escape paying express and freight. Till man would not reply. This was tbe large-t crowd of the campaign and Conservative by a large majority. At ?orkv?lle Gov. Tillman said that if the Judges did not know upon which side their bread was buttered now that they would find out before the expiration ot eighteen months. This means that tbe Judges must read the law to suit Tillman or tbey will be defeated by bim. Mob Violence. Beltoh, August 8.?Today has brought disgrace upon the proud record of Anderson County. One of her most honored citizens, and one to whom tbe gratitude of her people is due, was deuied the right of free fprech and su? j-cted to mob violence because he dared to attend a meeting where he was fully eu titled to appear. Major B B. Murray, of Anderson, was assaulted by a gang of Tillmau toughs, and unless he had been carried away from tbe scene of difficulty would probably have lost his life at tbe'r hands. While the Conservatives were engaged in a quiet and orderly gathering at Williamson a meeting arranged by tbe county executive ; committpe was held in a black jack forest at Cedar Grove Church, commonly known as i Seed Tick, on the road between this place aud ! Williaroston and three miles trora the latter I place. The committee is Tillmanite and, headed by A. C Larimer, arranged this meet- I ing, at which all the county candidates were J to appear so as to prevent their followers ! from attending tbeConservativerally. Major ! .Murray is a candidate for elector on the Conservative ticket, and in company with | James P. G?ssett drore down to the county! meeting, where 1,500 people, mainly Tillman- i ites, were assembled. V.heu they arrived about noon ISeerelarv of State Tiudal was addressing the crowd. Major Murray and Mr. Gosse?t wf-re ?et i upon by a crowd of roughs, headed by B. F. j Daeus, of Wiliiam&ton, and Win Acker, of ! Toney Cieek, who, es soon as they appeared, j j surrounded th^m and yelled for Til.man for several minutes, also ahuting the gentlemen ' with 'he vilest oaths. They were finally :ibie ; to proceed nud pot within twenty steps of the ! 3ta:,d. W. A. Neid, Penitentiary trustee, saw I Mr. Murray's posittou and shouted that he had a right to be present. Dr. Cheshire, a member of the committee on arrangements, j met Mr. Murray at the sie;-s nr.d catching hold of his arm endeavored to h ad him upon the ' stand. But fitly or one hundred men ran | twe*?n them and rudely separating them pushed and forced Mr. Murray back a^ain^t and into the buggv, ?t the same time doling blows with their fi-?s upon hi> bt-dy and Shoulders, he being unarmed and doing his best to ward off the blows directed at his head. One furious Tillmanite struck Mr. Murray in the side with his tinmrelta stuff. ! Mr. Gossett believed that instant departure i was the only tuearu? of saving Mr. Murray and himself from dent h or serions bodily ha^m ; and endeavored t<: drive i ff The Tiilmanites i endeavored to :o<*k the wheels of-the velue!*, j and in their tti'uts top:event it> departure one Or two ot tlieir number were dragged ' some distance b. ?oretl>e< w- uld turn lo?.-e the wheels. Numbers of rocks weie thrown, one or two striking Mr. Mnrrav, and the buggy was considerably scute! where il lud been struck by the Iv-avy mi?.?i:cs.

Numbers of Tillmanites pretend to deplore the occnrreuce, but no visible effort was made to interfere in Mr. Murray's behalf.?News and Courier. WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, Aug. 8, '92. Speaker Crisp was almost alone today at the Capitol, where he was engaged in straight ening up some of his business which h"d accumulated during the busy hours of the closing days of Congress. He goes home this week to take an active part in the cam paign. Speaking of the session, be said he was satisfied with the work of the democratic majority, as a whole, and that he knew of no reaaoa why any democrat who considered the surrounding circumstances should be other wise. He is confident that Cleveland and S'evenson will get every electoral vote in the Southern States. Representative Kilgore, of Texas, was asked, just before he boarded a train for home, if there .was any probability of the people's party carrying Texas. -'No, my brother, no!" He replied in a bluff and hearty tone. "I have heard a few wild predictions which pointed to that impossible calamity, but those prophets were without honor in any part of the earth. There will be but a mild shower of the third party ballots?just a slight sprin kle." The administration followed Congress, and today there is only one member of the ^cabi Ofct in Washington and be is only here tempo rarily. Ttu anouncement that Mrs. Harrison was seriously ill was no news to any efficient Washington nsws gatherer, they knew it months ago, but the great majority of them wrote cheerfully about her condition in def erence to the known wisbe* of Mr. Harrison and her family, who have had from the first the sympathy of every o: e. There is little hope that Mrs. Harrison will ever be other than an invalid agaio, although she may live for year3. At her age the human system, particularly the stomach and the nerves, does not readily recuperate when once broken down. Representative O* Ferrai! of Virginia, summed up the situation in that State thusly : "The democratic party in Virginia is in line, and the third party movement will have no effect in our partof the country. Mr. Field, their candiate for Vice President, is from our district, and I am sure he will not add any strength to his ticket there. He made a speech the other day in his own coun ty, and the leading local paper said editorally that he would not get a dozen votes in the county." When it is remembered that the democrats of the House were constantly confronted by an unfriendly Senate and Executive they have reason to feel proud of what they accomplished during the session just closed. Among the important bills passed by the House and unacted upon by the Senate were those for the admission of Arizona, and New Mrxico as States, and the one authorizing home rule for Utah ; the anti-option bill ; the bill to compel railroads to equip their freight cars with automatic couplers ; the bill forfeit ing 54.323.996 acres of unearned land grant ed to railroads by previous legislation, and the various separate bills repealing or modify ing some of the most oppressive sections of the McKinley tariff law. These bills stand for what the House wished to do, and what the democratic party would have done had it controlled all branches of the Government, as it hopes soon to do. The bilte which necaroe laws are too well known to be recap itulated here. The only feature of tbe first session of the Fifty-second Congress which causes any disappointment to democrats is the aggregate of the appropriations made, hut when the trouble is taken to analyse tbe situation it will be seen that many millions of the money appropriated was called for by previous legislation for which tbe democratic Hou*e was iu no way responsible?Senator Gorman places it at ?60 000 000. The same Senator also called attention to the fact that it will be necessary ander tbe present laws to make the pension appropriation to be made at the next session of Congress at least $20, 000,000 larger than tbe enormous one passed at the late session, and tha.t other Urge expen ditures will have to be made, which will, in his opinion, make it necessary for Congress to levy other and additional taxes in order to raise the money. Representative Dockery, of the House Ap propriation committee, has been studying up the Pension question, and he thinks "that the annual appropriation will continue :o increase for at least six years to come, and that by that time the annual expenditure for pensions will be quite 5225.000,000. Mr. Dockery, like others, has to crive up the conundrum when asked where this money is to come from after paying tbe other expenses of the Gov ernment. Word's Fair officials who were here ppeared to be very happy over that $2, 5u0,000 present from Uncle Sam, with no conditions attached to it. They were very much alarmed over their prospect of getting nothing. Speaker Crisp has designated Represenativea Pierson of Ohio : Matinr, of Indiana : Wilson, of.Missouri : Flick, of Iowa, and Waugh, of Indiana as members of the committee authorized by a House resolution to codify the present pension laws: The committee hopes to complete the work during the recess. - - mm - Be Sure and Register.
