Lower him down slowly; bow welcome this

To one who on puve-stones has pillowed his

His inglorious strife with existence is o'er;
He needs not our pity, our cbarlty, more.
He was worthless, say you?a beggar, a fraud,
Ah, well, he was human, his judge should be

Our judgments are biased; we see but a span
And Tint the circumference ol heaven's wide

Should we, then, deride? What know we of
a life
Who heed but its errors, its hunger, its strife?
We misjudge the hearts that beat nearest outown?
The soul, as God sees it, to us is unknown.

Mr. President and gentlemen of the convention:
After your arduous labors, lasting
as tbey have during the whole day an.l far Into
the night, It Is natural to suppose that yon
are fatigued. I have had some sleep, and do
not myself feel any fatigue, but there has
been so much sneaking, and I have done so
much or it, that I am tired of that sort ot
work. 1 will, therelore, be brief.
There are some few points that I deem it
necessary to discuss on this occasion. You.
or the people of South Carolina through you,
have conferred upon mo the highest honor |
withli: your gift. Thesense of gratification,
if I have any, is swallowed up by the feeling
of responsibility which rests upon my head
to-night. [Cheers]
I have Just passed through one of the most
momentous and exciting campaigns that this
state has ever witnessed, iu some respects, i
doubt if any state In the Union has ever been
so stirred from centre to circumference as
South Carolina has been during the past four
months.
Now. gentlemen, there was cause for this,
and it is perfectly idle to pretend that this
jeeuie CIIULJ llao uctu me luuini *.
merely the engineer upon the engine which
had received its steam from other sources.
Most of you have heard me at some point in
the campaign discuss the issues which have
been presented to the people, and whatever
have been the heart-burnings and ttie labor?
and they have been great?I say to-night that
what has been accomplished in South Carolina?not
in my elevation to the governorship,
for that is notning?but the principles involved
in the victory achieved by the people, asserting
the right to govern themselves and select
their own officers in tlielr own way, is
worth it all. (Cheers.)
We to-night have formed a new epoch in
the history of the state, and txust that when
it shall come to be written the new departure
which we all see and feel will be looked bad;
to by our posterity as marking a time whicn
every man can refer to with gratitude and
gratification. (Cheers.) (?f course it is U i 111 cult
for me to separate myself from this fight.
. or from discussing it from the present condition
of it. Somehow or other it has seemed a
centre to swing around me as a pivot, so
much so that the whole state has been divided
Into Tillmau and anti-Tillman. For a
while there was an effort made to divide into
Democrats and Tillmuuitcs, but, thank God,
those who started that have surrendered it,
and we are to-night, I trust, all Democrats as
we have been all along, and the Ditternes*
that has been injected into It, the passion and
partisan feeling. Is largely due to the assumption
of certain men and certain organs who
thus presumed todivide the people because
they dared to discuss questions of public policy
and assert their freedom. |Cheers.l
It has been the cuwtom for all Democratic
nominees for governor, or rather it would be
consiuerea tne proper ming io cio, 10 uihiik
the convention for the honor conferred. To
mark the signification of your act to-night,
to ensure the change that has been accomplished,
you came here, and I came here not.
to receive this honor at your hands, because
the people had told you before you left home;
yon knew and they knew for whom they
Mere voting tor governor, and you have come
here merely to ratify their will. I thank
those ot you my personal and my lo'.itical
adherents for your support, for your help,
and it has been given with unanimity which
should command any ihmu's gratitude, and I I
think your masters are the rank and file of!
the Democracy of South Carolina, henceforth !
nnd forever, the true and only masters in ,
this state.
I know and feel that with my bkintness.i
my frankness?my brutal bluntness you may
call it. perhaps?I am hated worse than any i
man in Sodth Carolina, simply bccausc 11
have told the truth, so help me God, as Ij
thought it was true, and therefore I have eu
??iiaureu euuunva aim hivcu 9ur.ii |
as never met auy man in this state before.
[A voice: "We love you, though." Cheers.) I
Fellow citizens, I have no feellnu of grati-1
fled ambition. 1 have the gratification (,f
knowing that the people of South Carolina
have vindicated me, have vindicated ray motive,
and by their endorsement bave put to
y flight and stamped in the earth the lies and
slanders that have been heaped upon use.
[Cheers.]
[Capt. Tillman became very much all'ected
at this stage of his speech, and tears were observed
to drop from nis eye.]
Compared with my competitors, the two
honorable and distinguished gent emeu who
opposed me, one of the most accomplished
lawyers in this state, and the other a most
distinguished soldier, what was there about
me, If it was not the principles I represented,
to bring about this change?
I presume, for it Is naturnl lor men to have
ambition, that many of you would like to be
in my place. Any man who assumes the
power and Is a true man and loves the sun e
and the people as I do. feels that he has to
'"oi.i ,?p, ut rpsnonsibiliLies. and inv feollnir to
night Is ibat iny peaceable days are gone.
You have put a load as of a millstone, as 1
feel it, upon my shoulders.
I have made no pledges In this canvass. I
have made no promises, or very few, anil I
say to you, and through you to the people,
that in assuming the power you have given
me, it shall be exercised without fear, tuvor
or affection to the best interests and glory of
South Caraliua, and tbut in the future, whatever
may come, I shall do my duty as I see it,
and hope that you Mud the people will never
be ashamed of having gone into the field and
taken a new, green and inexperienced man,
and in some respects with regard to government,
an ignorant man and put him at the
head of your affairs. [Cheers.j
I leel, my friends, that I have been educated
in a large degree by the canvass I have
made. Few meu In South Carolina have possessed
the advantage of such a canvass. 1
have in the last ninety days canvassed
among 60,000 of the white Democrats of this
state. I have talked to them face to face and
felt their pulse,and I believe I know some o;
their inspirations and aspirations.
We have a good, grand country; It has glorious
possibilities, and if wo, as brethren, will
unite, lay aside ourliickerings and our contentions,
and put away things which are of
no moment, press onward and try to bring
about new feeling and progress and enterprise
tu the state, quit trying to rebuild on its old
pedestal, recollecting that we are In the Nineteenth
century and must keep up with the
procession, and old South Carolina with her
varied product, her climate, her geographical
position, fchouid, and soon will, occupy a place
second to 110 state in the Union. [Cheers.]
I feel that it will be necessary briefly in vindication
of myself, although, as I have said,
the people have vindicated me, but for outside
consumption, away from South Carolina,
to say a lew words about the canvass and it*
results.
Possessing ns they did the press of South
Carolina almost solidly, wiring dispatches to
the Associated Press, Northern people and to
the world, with columns of editorials in the
leading newspapers, teeming with assertions
that I was a slanderer, k demagogue, a dynamiter,
a red-Kepublican and other things, the
United States to-night stand aghast, lecling
symehow that you have gone into a sort oi
French revolution, a Sansculotte, who is go-;
iiiir in the governor's chuir backed by b horde
<?!' ignorant people. Vou know it's a lie. The
Intelligence of this state?a large majority of
^ tlie intelligent men of the state are at my
buck. [C'lieers.l If we haven't got the polish
and the brains, we have at least got virtue
and simple citizenship that only wants good
government.
I began this campaign on a high piano. I
wanted to conduct it upon that plauc and discuss
the issues on their merits. What did I
have to contend with ? Vou nil know it was
forced almost to a personal issue, forced to
the point of my having to defend myself
against the accusations of having slandered
South Carollra, when I would have cut my
throat rather than state anything to bring
her good name into discredit. Because I criticised
and dared to criticise men who were in
power exercising my right as a freeman to
criticise public officers, It was considered that
I had invaded an inalienable and divine
right to lule, which seemed among some men 1
* """ /
?w?'imw mbipbihii u }ulwm*iam
to have been an inheritance. I was compelled
to discuss the issues upon a ditlereut status
to what I had intended, but the jury of last .
resort, the peoplo, sustained me. Having as I
said awhile ago a very distinguished gentleman
from Sumter, who whs rny opponent,
and one of the best lawyers of the State?and
you know lie fought mo ably, he made the
best of it he could?the people have heard my
answer, and you know ttie result. That
would be vindication enough here at home,:
but how am I to get the news abroad, how is I
the good name ot the state to be reclaimed.
I' has beeu said, and is now said all over;
the United States, that my election means]'
that the Democratic party of South Carolina; J
have been derelict, and that it is rotten. Be-1 ]
fore the Democratic parly, the rank and tile i
represented here to-night, I deny it. [Cheers.]
Because we neglected our duties, our citizens-hip,
and allowed certain elements to get I
possession of the government and run it in a:
certain way, and because we chose to come (
forward and take possession of our birthright
and run it in a different way, does that 11
mean that South Carolina has proven herself j i
to be corrupt, low and despicable? I do not
think so. It is the llrst time I ever heard that
even the legislature constituted the state, or 1
that the state officers constituted the state, or I
that the whole Government constituted the <
state. J do not consider it so. The people '
constitute the state. The people neglected
their duly, and, as I said, when they choose
to find fault and come forward and state wa
want to straighten this matter, they refnse
with an arrogance never before wiotnsscd.
I said In this hall two years ago, you are
darnm'ng back the water, and when 1S90 comes |
with a full head on, you will see some fine
grinding done! [Cheers.]
I was told theu by one of the leaders of tlie
opposition, or one of the leaders of thegoverntnent,
"You have your party under your hat;
the people don't back yon;" but tie recognizes
to night whether I am a prophet or he.
I do not prize the vindication you have given
me for the vindication alone, for my conscience
has been clear aud I sleep all nlghi.
I nevt r lie awake and roll and pitch with that
bad bed fellow. If the vindication hadn't .
come, and had told me to "go about your busi- !
ness, you are not to be trusted,'' I would have j
slept just as sweetly, because I have been ac- ,
tuated all the time from a sense of duty; but !
you have given me a priceless heritage to
hand my children.
The revolution through which we have parsed?
it is nothing else?has nnturally caused a
great many meu who are in high places to go
to the. bottom, and has placed new men 011
top. Revolutions always do that. Those who :
were on ton resisted goiug down. They did
ull they could to ket*p the wheel from inovintr,
but it would turn.
If I am the demagogue, the crank and all
tliatsortofttiiiiKS.it will be proven. Time
will tell. 1 can only do the best I can. and
angels will do no more. You all remember
the words of the poet:
"He who surpasses and subdues mankind.
Mustiookdownon the hate of those below.'' ,
I must take this hatred as my portion. I
cannot help it. it Is here and it seems to me
It Is ineradicable. But I can say it milhftilly
to-ninht thatl have 110 personal enemity against
any Anti Tlllnianiie in .South Carolina
who has treated me with decency. There are
a few isolated instances where it would be a
lie for me to say it. and you would not believe <
me if I were to claim that I have no resent- ,
meut; but take the most of those that opposs 1
me? 1 recognize their right to do it, and I
havcnoemnlty to gratify, therefore, I expect
not to try to punish those who have op- .
posed me politically.
My line of conduct, so far as I shall have
???. tho rrftvornmpnt nr nnv rlirpn. <
tion of affairs, will be to try to get the best
men Mr the benefit of the people.
I have mode no pledges to anybody. I am
here with clean hands. I have promiseu no- !
body help, or an oflice, or anything of the :
kind, if you do thus and so. 1 went before '
the people on t lie merits of the question'; after
I vas selected by the March convention I discussed
the ((Uestioa on its issues, and 1 stand ,
here t he nominee of the party for governor, (
and no earthly power can prevent my elec- ,
tion unless 1 die. ICheers.] 1
I stand here with none of* these contaminating
influences which usually surround politicians.
I am not a politician, thank God.
There aresome things that I could wish
different, and one is that those who have oppssed
me, having been beaten fairly, honestly (
and squarely, should have long since subsided
gracefully; but ten days ago the county in ]
which this city is located, by a resolution
passed at their convention, under the whoop,
instructed ftsdelegates to this convention to i
withhold their endorsment from making the
nomination unatrmou*. '
Let's contrast things a little. I have been
in politics five years. I came here in J&S6
with about 120 men?just came promiscuously
people iu t lie interest of reform and ccrtaln
policies. Well, they beat us, anil we made
the nomination unanimous, went home anil
elected the ticket. I came here in 18S8 with
110, lucking only 20 necessary to nominate.
We were beaten again, and you know how
like good Democrats and citizens, we nuule
that nomination unanimous, went forward
without a murmur, stood up to the rack like
men and elecled the ticket. [Cheers.]
Now forsooth, because the people, by a majority
unprecedented in the history of the
people with unanimity unknown, have seen
fit to place mo at the head of the government,
what do we behold? Well, the action of
Hlchland is like the absence of Pompey's
statue at Ctesnr's feast. Caesar was giviun a
feast to the populace to try to increase his
popularity, and in his vast villas, tine lawn i
and flower garden, he hadfset here and there j
the statue of every Roman worthy, but Pompey
the Great was absent. The very absence!
of Pompey, the man who had died for the
Koman consiuuiioxj aim mr riuiuuii iiuci lv,
an attempt 011 Ciesar's part lo cast a slur upon
his antagonist, only called the people's attention
to it the more; and Iilchland's refusal
to endorse the Democratic nominee and make <
his nominat on unai imous only adds?Wei',
1 won't characierizo it, but leave you to fill u
out. (Cheers)
I will say thut It shows that lack of patriotIsm
and the necessity lor Democratic unity
in (his slate which you all feel in your bones
is the very essence of the life of the stale, :
and its posterity. White supremacy you
know must bo maintained at all hazard*, and
if the majority ot white men are not willing
lo submit to the minority, anil the latter appeal
to the negro as they threaten to do, and
as they have done on the const, it gives me
no alarm. You put this Democratic banner
in my hands. The Democratic banner was ,
first, brought Into prominence and held up by j
the strong arm oll87t?, and I have no more !
fear of any effort, if it should be made on that j
line, of any danger or harm coining to the {
Democracy of the s'ate, except In a few isola- ,
tcdfplaces t'nin If^artliat I will be kllied
and 1 have no fear of that. '
i take it upon me here to-night (though it
may be unnecessary) but It has gone abroad
and it has been told lo my detriment that I ,
hmi invsetfguarded In Charleston. It is an
infamous lie, because 1 knew nothing of II.
ami had nothing to do with It, and if it was
done I didn't know it until 1 lelt tho city.!
(Cheer*.) j
I will not detain you much longer, but.
there is one point of public policy under the)
administration 01 myself and the gentlemen
wlioinc you have called to take charge of the
government which I deem it necessary to
touch upon to night, and that is the public
debt, the gravest question that confronts us
uow?that is, how to pay those bonds that
become due in "Jo, I believe.
It has been said by soine of those who
claim to have experience in finance that they
fear that these inexperienced men would not]
be able to refund the debt. My answer to
that is this: Honesty knows no experience to
pay a just debt. I have always paid my own,
and in the name of God, why should I try, as
has bi en asse't--d that I would, to do anything
to bring discredit upon the state of South
Carolina or injure her credit ?
With her phosphate beds, which yearly
brings In a rental of over fioo.ooo; with a
prosperous state from tho mountains to the
sea, (for I have been over it, and I know
whereof I speak,) .South Carolina should
be among the first?and 1 feel before the term
of office expires.to which yon will elect me?
it will be as high or higher than it has ever '
been. (Cheers.)
If an eltort to refund the bonds fail, or If the
old bondholders refuse to take new ones <
at a lower Interest, then hom-sty demands
that the state sell the bonds for what they
will bring and pay this debt dollar for dollar.
Therefore, I say tliis twaddle about experience
is not worth that. It does not need cxperiuiwift
t<> nntr un tmnAut It nnlv nAmlu (tin
means.
I have touched upon the necessity for harmony.
I stand here to-nlullt and I plead lor
harmony. I begged those gentlemen who o]>posed
mc in March to let the leopard alone
and he would change his spots, and they
would not doit, audi used my claws. Let
every true Carolinian. Anti-Til I man or Tillman.
come forward and lity aside all feeling
of bitterness or a desire for revenge, and hold |
up my hand, and the hands of those gentle
men wtiotn you will put lu otllce. I say to
you ttint South Carolina is bound to move
forward, and commence to-night, for we have
a new epoch; new forces are at work. I feel
like the state has been bom almost?not because
I have been put at head of affairs; but |
because you, the rank and file of the neople of
the state, have begun to study your interest
ioolc alter your own affairs and not leave it to
a few politicians to run the government.
Can I ask you to carry to your people my
thanks? I ark you and yours to accept my
thanks and my congratulation upon the success
of the light which we have fought together.
And I beg you, those of you who are ,
victorious, toendeaver by even yielding some
of your rights, If necessary: for God's sake quit
wrangling over little inessential points.-;
Recollect that unity of the party, even in |

those counties. Get together; put your slioul- '
tiers to the wheel, anil help to move your
slate onward, upward to fjlory and future ,
prosperity, which I feel can he achieved If our '
people will recollect the cardinal principle '
thatagooduovernment must be a self government;
hut If the people neglect their own af
fairs, tbey should not grumble. J
I thank you aud will now close. (Cheers.)
