ThftTeachers' Institute commenccil hereon last Tuesday. It was conducted by Prof. K. It. Craighead, of Wollord, Messrs. \V. 11. Hand, ol Florence, and W. \V. Lewis, of Yorkville. Prof. J. G. CI in It scales and J. K. Browu of the Columbia Female College were also present, and the lortner delivered a lecture. The exercises lasted until Friday afternoon. They consisted principally in lectures and discussions thereon. * There was a fair attendance of teachers from various parts of the county, aHof whom seemed to take a deep interest in the work of the Institute. Seveial of the teachers and spectators joined in the discussions. A good many ol the citizens of the town turned out and helped to make the meeting a success. The School Commissioner encouraged the Institute in every possible way. Special mention should be made of .1. C.! Klugh, Esq., who contributed greatly by his elforts to the success of the occasion. All of the instructors reflected credit upon themselves and gave to our teachers and people valuable thoughts and methods on educational toplet. Prof. Craighead lectured on the Press to a very large audience on Wednesday night. The Institute undoubtedly does good and should be encouraged. It is a pity that a large number of our teachers were absent. I hey certainly wouiu have been benefited, had they been present. Ttie introductors of the Institute made a pood impression on our people. They appeared to be devoted to their work :uid thoroughly alive on educational <|UC?tion. They were delitilitecl with Abbeville and their reception here, and said that our people treated the Institute well. We promise 10 do better still next year. We must wake up if we wish to build up our town. Coronaca, 8. July 1C, 1V.I2. For some time the work inns of our beautiful little town have been unknown to the outside world, and for this reason we volunteer to give the readers of the l'ress and Banner a brief account of what is tioinuon, and not to announce ourselves as candidates for any offices. If however we were to announce ourselves as candidates, we would appear on 'he Conservative side in order to receive the support of our townsmen. The present outlook for a corn crop Is flourishing, aud if seasons continuc lor a short while we will not be dependent upon the corn cribs of the West for that portion of our provisions for another year.

I'lider the call a bin crowd ran to. which we have heard estimated at from tour hundred to one thousand. There is such dillerenee of opinion that we venture to give no opinion ol our own. It matters not as to the actual number who were present, hnt it, is certain that the crowd was much larger than llie Conservatives had expected. They had one heef, two shoats, nine sheep, and potatoes in proportion? about pounds of meat, ill all. The dinner was insutlicieut to feed the crowd. Tlie preliminary meeting was held in the Court Mouse. \V. C. Mcliowati, Ksij., was chairman, and S. Cason, Ksq., whs secretary. MOM I NATIONS KOU CON VKSTION KI.KCTOKS.

Chairman- .Mr(>onHii'!i Speech of Wei' come. Ladies anil Fellow Democrats: 1 welcome you all here to-day. I am very glad to see such a large crowd present? 1 was afraid, from some things I have heard, thai very lew of our Tillman friends would hi here. I have heard that ordeis have been is sued that none were to attend. Speech of tin most intemperate and Intolerant kind ha.' been openly indulged In. I am told one man said, if he ate a bite of the barbecue din net pr.-pnred for you all to-day that he hoped tc God it would tsiick In his throat and choke him lo death ; another said the barbecue waf an open attempt to bribe voters; anothei said, if any Tillmanite candidate, even by accident, attended this meeting, that he would not only vote but work against him. ssucli feeling and such speech as this, fellow cm zens. is calculated iodoa great, deal of harm Abbeville county has for a hundred yean been notid for its intelligence, Its manhood its Independence; and I would hate to be tieve that our people woul4 obey the com maud of any man or set of men, or wen afraid to hear the political issues of the daj discussed. The recent meetings?joint discussions?ii: the State, have been such howling disgraces where free speech was stilled and stopped that wo (hough! we would get up a meeting where the argument could he given am where the auditors could listen. This is til that our meeting means to-day. We have m vited everybody, especially t he friends o Governor Tillman, to attend, and J mn ulai that a uood number of the latter have hat the manhood and independence to come it spite of threats and orders. We honestly differ. We believe our eausi is just, and we furl tier lielleve, it the peopl< of Abbeville county will coolly and dispas sionult ly weigh the arguments that the (.'on servatives must win. All we ask is. that eael and evcr> man will hear for himself and thei makeup his mind lor himself. If afleryoi hear ail, you still think it is belter for tin county and the State to re-elect Governor Till man, then no man will gainsay your right t< vote lot >our choice, but it doi-s seem to inei confession of weakness?it does seem to tu< mi admission of the weakness of Governoi Tillman's cause and of the justness of ours that our Tillman friends are afraid to heal the argument. If you will listen to argument?if you an open to conviction and reason?then, as I live I believe there can be butone result, viz., thai you will no home and go to work for Shep pard and Orr.

Italics and Fellow Democrats | Itallords me a great deal of pleasure to ap i pear before the people of Abbeville county t< discuss the issues of the day. If there Is :i county in South Carolina where justici should be done it is in Abbeville county. Koi a hur.dred jfears the people of Abbeville county have been distin^uiMhed for their intelli m i ce and high character, and I have i>< .<11.i tii.. ^iiin.. i,i,.i, ?.iii i.. maintained In the future. t The reasons which call ns here are moment' ousitiul I hope that you will decide the Issuer not from passion and prejudice, hut will hast your action, from the standpoint of reason and conscience. Though swayed and swepl by passion and prejudice, yet the pendulum will swim; bark. I am taking a part in this canvass not to gel otlice for the sake of otlice. I have work to d< as many of you have, hut I concluded thai the time for union and a restoration of harmony atnongour people had come,and 1 havi entered the campaign in the hope of helpinu to put down our trouble, Hitterness and vituperation make wounds on the body politic which would i en u I re years toget over. When Tillman Issued his inaugural address I thought the leopard would change Ills spots, but that was the last of his conservatism From that time lorward he sought, to ostracise and alienate those who had been opposed to liini and In- lias labored to widen tinbreach bet ween them. The tiiiaucial eomlilioii ol the State is ol lirst iinporlaiice to every cliizen. Mi-n may bre.ik here and there, and tint lew are elfeetell by it, hut when the credit ol the Slate is injured every citizen is eilected. < ioveruor Tillman has driven capital out of the State. Hi has prevented other eapllitl tt'oiii corning. When the bonds ol the state are ell'eeicd every lax payer in thestale is elh eted. Not only he hut ins children and his :rand children illl' 1'IIITU'U, ii "in minus von in in- mmiiiucu at lour per cent.overa liuinln-d thousand ctollais annually could bo saved. I Sit I instead ol' refunding the bonds at four per cent. w?. will have to pay six per rent. I lia! means a dillerenee to tin* tax payers oi >l-.'"i.iiiiii every year, and that money must be pant out oi tlie pocket* of the people. I!y loss of eredit through Governor '1 illiiian'M aet w? have lost by injury toour credit ?l!iii.n.ioior tbirty years. Governor Tillman promised to reduce the otliees and he said lie would cut down tiie shIaries. >ot one dollar has been cut oil of any otlieer's salary. II the salaries were too big betore his election, why did he not reduce them after he came into power, lie hasn't done it. lie gets the money now. Instead ol reducing the salaries lie has had created at least one new oflice?llsli warden. They never will reduce the salaries as long as they draw thein. What hurts tiie more t han anj thing else Is the crying down of free speech. It Is moh law. It is tho direct result of Tlio worlc of Tillman and his followers. Governor Tillman lias made a irreat parade of his opposition to lynch law. yet when] speaking from the stand, lie said ho would,! j under certain circumstances, help lynch a j ; man. The <iovcrnor of the State is the sworn officer of the people, and lie wlm would vlo-1 j late his oath of office is unworthy. When | ,llie chief officer will do it.lt. shows an utter j disregard of the responsibilities of the office. ; t*al I'auuhman. the Uader of the Lexington j {1 vnehiiiir received an appointment from the! Governor, in his case it seems that the | ly 11 cliinir was a road to office and preferment. The Tillman faction assert that those who voted lorTlllinan last year and refuse to do I so now are traitors and deserters. If they cannot now conscientiously vote tor him. Last year many men as conscientious as f am and as good as I am voted for Governor Tillman. They Ivlieved that he would do what was light. If they now do not approve of his | methods, they would he untrue to themselves ' ' '? t lilt yinfn ll' fhoi* AnntiniKi fft unt<? for ! him. Good people of Smith Carolina will repudiate i his miiii, iiiul remove a firebrand. Nearly all preachers and ladies are opposed to hI iii.* One preacher said to mc* I am no politician. Ihil I will not support any man who flaunts his profanity in publicum! boasts of not. going to church. A lady said to me, you needn't be afraid <if my husband voting1 for the bill. He has fivo sons to raise, anil Tillman is an unlit example lor them to follow. Governor Tillman's principal claim to support is t hat lie Is a friend to the poor man. I don't lake his speeches. I take the measures which tie proposes to support. He says the lien law out:lit. to be abolished. The law was originally passed because of the homestead exemption of fifteen hundred dollars. The lien law was for the benefit of the poor man. If he had character be could pledge his year's work to raise the needed supplies. If the law was abolished and the means of credit is cut off. the poor man will have to hire to others. The repeal of the lien taw.' would put many a poor man in servitude. Governor Tillman favors a three dollar poll tax. What does that mean ? The whole the ory or our government is mat a mx on improperly should support 1 lie government. A three dollar poll tax doesn't hurt the rich. Ii hurls only the poor man. Suppose a man works lor tJfly cents a day. it would take six days to pay his poll tax. The poor will not set their share of the school money for the reason that children are often compelled to stop going to school in busy seasons to work in the larm or In the shop. If the poll tax is not paid, the man must go to jail. Do you (tall that friendship to the poor man? He says that this would require , ihe negroes to pay. If you cut olf a darkey's ; hand, does that help me when mine is cut i oil? You have a local habitation. They s move from place to place. You have to pay for arresting, trying and board in Jail. That will not help you. i He argues lor a constitutional convention. , lie urges as a reason that there should be a property or educational qualltlcalion. Does that help the poor? When such requirements are made, they generally require taxes I on $>tXi worth of property. Any man who secures such a qualification would deprive us of the greatest, blessing of American citizenship. It would take the right to vote trom many of as patriotic and as worthy citizens as live in South (,'aroiina. Reason with your neighbors and friends on this matter. Talk patiently and constantly with them. We have good news from the up country. Men who have heretofore been for Ti 11 inn n are coming over to us, and if we do our duty victory will perch upon our banners. Athens has always been considered the centre of intelligence and learning in Greece, so AbbeviPe lias always been regarded in South . Carolina. Abbeville county should see toil that it is not blighted with Tilimanism. r I " The Introduction of lion. E. It. .Mnr; ruy. [ I desire to state to tiv? audience that we . tried hard to get Col.

Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentleman: s In approaching the discussion of the Issues - of the present campaign, 1 feel that we are . entering upon the consideration o? the most I important canvass thai has ever been upon i our state. Viewed, as I view it, t:ie crisis wh.ch now conironts us Is the most inomeutous in the history of South Carolina. There have been crises which were to determine questions of war or peace?to determine whether the white man or the negro . was KJ I UIU UIIS dihh: KM )l 1II1IT, -Oil mir. . campaign involves the confidence of llic people in So 11 Mi Carolina in one another, and is to determine whether our people are rent in, to classes distrustful of and hostile to each oilier. 1 eonvp here Hi in ply asa private citizen, feelinsr a deep and abiding Interest in the welli fare of South Carolina to present to men, j who I know are patriotic and sincere in their . wish to do that which Is best for our common i State, certain reasons why I think a change I of administration Is desirable in South Caro1 Una. , I wish to present these views ?o your reason and to have your calm and deliberate judg , ment upon them, feeltna satisfied that you will, as true citizens, act as you believe to be best tor the common good, and for litis rea. soil I shall say as little that is harsh as I can, , and shall endeavor to use no epithets towaidfc , any man or set of men with whom I may dlf, t'er. for there is tin argument in an epithet? , calling names will convince no one. J f what I say sha 11 reflect severely upon t he , present Chief Magistrate of this State, I am , determined that it shall be the force of the . fuels of t he case, and not simply the words of f the speaker. CLASS AKUAYKI) AUAIXST CLASS. To begin with. Governor Tillman anil Ills ; friends have sought to array one class oi' our , citize ns against another class, and has therel by produced a division and distrust in this SUite which has been most injurious. It lias arrayed brother against brother, neighbor against neighbor and Iriend against friend in this little State which is small enough to , make our interests one. Our people ought to know each other in ' South Carolina ironi the mountains to the sea so well by character aud reputation that j we would appreciate and sympathize with 4 the motives and purposes of all our people, - and not be host ile to one another. i Our Interests are the same throughout the I State, and the classes of our citizens in South Carolina are so dependent one on the other 1 that it is a great wrong for any man to.seek to - produce discord and distrust where there was i harmony and unity before, and yet Governor Tillman lias done this under the pica that he - is the laboring man's friend. THIS (JOVKKN.MKNT MOUK JIOSTII.K TO TIIK I'OOIt MAN THAN TIIK ItKlTISI.ICAN (SOVKItXMKNT. I propose to speak to you plainly and candidly to-day. aud at the risk of astonishing . you by the proposition, I arraign this ad' ministration as Hie most hostile, in the mens , ures proposed and advocated, to Ihe lahor'Ing , man of any iidinintstration this state lias . ever had, not excepting the darkest Itepubli. can administrations ol our State. 1 want you to understand too clearly, I do . not lielicve that this administration ha< , stolen money Iroin the people, but I say Its . attitude towards ihe tailoring man in smith Carolina is mote hostile til ill that of Moses or Scot t. ; They nibbed the Slate, but in order to do It , they taxed properly and stole only Irom Ihe properly holders. TJ1K I'OI.I. TAX?TUB IXIliCITY OK KAISIXli IT. Iii adopting the present constitution wliieh ' has lieen so much abused and objected to they lixed the burden which the laboring ' man must bear in taxation at one dollar per ' head, ami never sought to raise it. They taxed property to run tlie public schools, retain' ed the lien law and enacted the homestead law, lint it is reserved for this administration lillcen years alter this party of corruption ' and oppression were driven from power, to come forward, and as the professed Iricnd ol ' tiie laboring inan, as the avowed champion ol the wool hat crowd, to propose to change Ihe provision of the constitution relating to the poll lax and raise this tax irom one to three dollars per capita or to place three times the burden of taxation upon the poor mail's head which the Republicans themselves put on it. i Hi' pica mr iiiis i.s i iiiti u w in umm- i innegro pay hisshare of tin* school lax ami run tlu? schools longer. In order to oppress the negro they propose to oppress the poor white man too, anil ii they roiilil run the schools longer there arel liuinlredsami thousands of poor white men j who would have to pay this lax that could j not seinl their children, tor in making an j holiest living lor themselves mid their lami-j lies i hey are compelled to take t heir children | in the hiisy limes of Ihe crop lo tiie lields, I umt only the men who do not have lo put j their children m the Held could get the bene-! lit of tin se schools run hy tile lax on the poor j man's head. <;ovi:knmi:n r oi i.icr To kk srri'oKTKii isv J TAXATION <.K I'liOI'KKTY. This hasis of taxation is wrong. People ought to In: taxed lo support the J government according to their ahinty lo pay, j ny an e<|nal lax in proportion to the property lliey own, Any scheme of taxation which seeks to lax j the poor man heavily is un|ust, ami I ennnot! see how one professing lo be the poor man's friend could be willing to permit such a tax upon him; much less to advocate It, as i.'ovei nor Tillman does. THE KVII, OK liKl'EA I.IN'fi Til K MEN LAW. Again, Governor Tillman has expressed Himself as favoring to the repeal of the lien law. There may have been a ' imc in the history of our Stale when crops were abundant and prices good that by giving timely rotlceit might have done fo repeal this law, but In the last two years when crops were short and prices were go ins; down, down until the staple crop of our country reached a point below what many persons believe to be the actual cost of production ; when the landlords have been scarcely able to make ends meet, and when the tenants have been barely able to support themselves and their families, often enduring many privations, there has certainly been no time when It would have done to repeal t he lien law. Why, my Iriends, tlon'Jrcvery man in the sound of my voice know that if the lien law hud been repealed lust year, or the year before, as Governbr Tillman advocated, it would have compelled hundreds and tiiou . . .n.illllAI'IrllHt mm nils or respeeiame, iimim, n.*........ while men to have hired themselves and their wives and little children as Rcryants to men who had money enough to run without i lie lien law. He says the lien law lias been abused, and no doubt it has been, but no man Is compelled to give a lien unless he finds it to his advantage to do so. It. is a privilege the poor man has which enables him to live and support his wife and children by honest work as a free man and as his own boss. I for one would never be willing to see this large class of our fellow citizens deprived of the opportunity to live as they find most conducive to their happiness and prosperity. THE PATRIOTIC I'OOK MAN. As one of the young men of this State, who saw much of the campaign of 1S7H. I remember with unmixed gratitude the splendid services of this tennaut class of our citizens in tlie effort to redeem South Carolina. They rode with us on many a night and many a sultry day. They responded in rain or iiottest sunshine and shared to the fullest every peril ot loat magnificent contest, and I for one, as long as I remember their gallant and ever ready service, cannot consent to see I their only means of credit taken from them lata time when their crops are scarcely sutlicient to support them, and thousands of tlieni would have to break up homes, which arc happy, even admit their toll and enforced economy to become the hirelings and ser vatiis ol their more ioriuuuu; (JOVEUNOK TILLMAX WOULD DEPRIVE TIIE l'OOK MAX OK TIIE KlfJIIT TO VOTE. Governor Tillman certainly is not their friend when he would takeaway from them their only menus ol credit, and reduce them to the position of serfs. But this Is not all. In this country thesovereign power of our government resides in the people and this sovereignty has no way of asserting itself except by the ballot. It is by the ballot that we select our lawmakers and our olllcers to construe and enforce the laws. We can only enact new laws or repeal bad or injurious ones through the exercise of tlie ballot. It is by the right to vote that we can assert our wishes as to the govern men I which controls our lives,our liberties and our property. It is the highest right of the citizen. It is tli s right which enables and dignifies every true American, and yet Governor Tillman, who claims that he is the wool hat's friend has declared that he wants a Constitutional Convention, among other things to pass an educational or property qualification for sufl'erage in this State, and pursuant to this idea the Senate, which is two-thirds Tillman, passed a resolution calling a convention ami voted down a resolution ottered by an anti-Tillnian Siniator to require the work of this Convention to be submitted to the people. Governor Tillman thus further shows how little he cares for the poor man In South Carolina by trying to take away fiom him the rigiit to vote, unless he has a certain amount of property or certainly amount of education. -i-.if.MAV \VOUI.I? HUMILIATE AND 1>K(IKA1>K TUB I'OOIl MAN. lie would thus humiliate and degrade those who were not fortunate enough to own properly or have education to the extent they might fix, and their purpose was to call this Convention and make lis work final without reference to wether the people liked the Constitution they made or not. WHAT A TILLMAN SENATE DID. This same Senate voted down a resolution oll'ered by an anti-Tlllman Senator to require that Convention to re-enact the homestead law thus showing thai It was their purpose lo repeal this law which Is certainly intended lo protect the unfortumue, who without II, might be reduced to absolute penury. And this Senate likewise voted down a resolution oll'ered by an anti-Tlllmnn Senator requiring the Convention to re-enact tlie twomill school tax, thus showing. It seems to me, I that the parly In power proposes to exempt j property from taxation lor school purposes I and to make the poll tax three dollars instead I oi one, and run the schools on it which would ! practically be making the poor man pay to ! educate the rich men's children. There Is j certalnlv no friendship for the poor man in this. TIIK COUNTY COVKRNMKNT Kll.f,, Vl'I.L OK INIQUITY. This convention was defeated in the House "" ii,"." hv the anil.Tillman vole going against It. Again, ft bill known as the County government bill, was Introduced .Jtiio the House of representatives and repeatedly asserted to be Governor Tillman's bill, and he never denied it thai I heard of, so that we may fairly call it his bill. It provided lor the abolition of the office of county commissioner atul for the election of one man in each county and thte appointment by the governor of three In .each township who were to run the county governments In this Stale. This'bill would have given the Governor practical control ot all the county governments in tills State. Jt. also provided for working the roads by contract and required every able bodied man between certain ages to work .these roads eight days or pay one dollar and a hall. TilK POOR MKN TO ItK WOKKKD WITH TIIK CHAIN GANG. If they worked they were to be under the control, and work at such times and in such manner as the contractonr should designate, thus practically hiring them out to the contractor. If they worked, the State charged the contractor four dollars or fifty cents a day tor their services, but if they paid out of the work it only cost them one dollar and lllty cents. So that the man aide to pay only had to pay this sum. I5ut the man who worked had to pay eight days work. Governor Tillman therefore seems to think that the working man is only worth eighteen and two-thirds cents per day. and board himself at thai. In addition to this there must be a county chain gang, in which all parties sentenced to imprisonment for any oflence, whether for vicious crime or for a simple light, were required to be worked and the free labor of the country would have to work along side ot this convict labor. Til IS GOVERNMENT 1I0STII.K TO THE INTERESTS OK TIIK LABORING MAN. Now my friends have I not shown you beyond the possibility of a doubt that, this administration is more hostile to the interest of the laboring and poor man than any we have ever hail in South Carolina. I do not sec how any laboring man in this State can get his consent to vote to keep Governor Tillman j In olllce another term. KAI I.I'IIK OK I'ltOMISKS. i also arraign Governor Tillman for a faillure to perform his promises made to (lie people of (lie stale in the last election. You j remember how lie promised to reduce salaries and expenses and to reduce the number of j officers in the State. NO SAI..?KIKS KKItL'CKI). lias lie reduced a single salary in I lie State Not one as far as 1 know has been reduced a particle, lias he abolished any ollices? Not one. and on the contrary I hey have actually increased I hem. Hut it will be said the Legislature is to blame for ibis, and it might be if the Governor had vetoed the increase. iJid In1 try hard 10 reduce salaries or abolish any olliccs? What ofli.-es did he ask to have abolished? Nolle that I know of except county commissioners, and in their place lie tried to establish about lorty new ones in each county. Now his friends are forced to admit that he either made promises he could not carry out, or that he has failed to carry I them out. NOT A HOI.I.AK SAVKII liV Til.I.MAN. At Newberry when Col. Marie offered to give one thousand dollars of his salary to the public schools it lie should be elected (iovernor and called on Tillman to know if lie would promise the same. Governor Tillman replied no, lull 1 will save the people of lliis J Slate one hundred thousand dollars the tlrst 1 ' V...,- ..ill *iii v I | of his in this laigc audience tell ine of one dollar thai lie lias saved the people of llils Stale by bcini: (iovcruor that any oilier man j would noi have saved I wait lor a reply. Cau l some Tillman man till me where Governor Tillman has saved the stale one dollar, iniieh less one hundred thousand dollars, in one year ol Ills administration ? 111 ere some one asked it our taxes are not hall' a mill less.] Yes,our taxi-sari; hall a mill less, lint the assessments are higher, and il is slated that j there will lie a ilelieieney in I he treasury this year which will necessitate a considerably I higher tax levy next year. This is the election year ami the lax levy was rundown to make I lie people believe their government was being run cheaper, but the real test of this is the appropriation bill. This is the bill which lells us how much I he gnvcriitiiciil is costing us. You may be fooled by a tax levy, but if yon go to the appropriation bill you can lull what your government. is costing you. Is not disappropriation bill of last, year larger instead of lower than before? Then you see (iovcruor Tillman lias not saved the people anything. * NO LIFE, HOWEVER PURE, FREE FROM MISREPRESENTATION. I arraign Governor Tillman not only for destroying confidence between our own people, but also for destroying the confidence of the people outside of the .State In us. He has declared that there was incipient rottenness in our government, and without Justification or reason has abused our best and purest men. There lias beeu no name so high or so revered as to be free from traduction by him and his followers. There has been no life however patriotic aud devoted to the people of South Carolina that has been free trom misrepresentation. THE QUESTION OF .11'DGES. Ho lins abused the judges of our State, and not only did lie go to the extent of setting his legal opinion up in a message against that of Judge Wallace, when as the executive lie should not have sought to Interfere with the judiciary, nui. lie went actively into me election of ii Judge for the Supreme Court, and secured the election of an administration candidate for Associate J usLice. And now that in one case Judge Pope as Associate Justice has hud the Judicial integrity and the honest manhood to decide a case as he believed the law was, Governor Till man Is going over the Siate abusing him and the Supreme Court, and to show his contempt for the learned and pure Judges of this Slate he has resorted to the new practice of putting his friends from the lawyers on the Supreme Court when uny.Judge of that Court Is disqualified. I.EfJISLATI VE AND JUDICIAL DEPARTMENTS MUST HB KKIT SEPARATE. The Constitution says that the legislative department and the Judicial department of our government shall be kept separate and distinct, and yet he has attempted to appoint the lieutenant Governor and the spea.er ol the House of Representatives to sit as Judges on the Supreme Court. It is due to Mr. Speaker Jones to say that he promptly declined, because he knew he was disqualified. IMPORTANCE OK A I'CRE JUDICIARY. My lellow citizens, the Judiciary is the most Important department of our government. So long as It remains pure and Independent your liberties are sale, but It Is the last rampart behind which a free people can protect their liberties. When the Judiciary is brought Into contempt, whcu it Is made the reward for partisan political services, and when it becomes servile and subservient to the will of any man, your rights, your lives, your liberties and your property will be insecure, and the permanence of free institutions will be endangered, I beseech you to condemn in the most emphatic manner tbis attempt to over-ride and destroy our Judiciary in its integrity aud purity. I arraign Governor Tillman for responsibility for much of the lawlessness in this State, lie has been at many public meetings in this State where riots have been imminent and iias reoeatedly seen the right ol free speech abridged and even denied to men simply because they were criticising bis official acts. Jf lie did not approve of this course, why has he not taken mensures to stop these unseemly manifestations. It is due to the dignity of his office that in his presence no crowd of roughs shall be permitted to break up a public meeting or prevent a man from speaking his sentiments. He may claim to disapprove of these things, but at Lexington where Col. Cal Caughman led the tuiriv wild Informntwl Ihfi snpsikm'M and re fused to let Col. \oumuns speak. Gov. TiIIrnan went arm In arm wilh Caughman to his house as his personal and approving friend, so lar as appearances go. Is it to be wondered that we have disorder at our public meetings when the Governor thus matiilesls his frsendshlp for the ringleaders of the disorder? LYNCHINGS AND LAWLESSNESS. You know that. Governor Tillman has professed to abhor lynchings and that he promised to stop them in South Carolina. There have heen more lyncbiugs in this Suite since he was Governor tlinn in double the same time before, as far as I remember: but be this as It may, at the last session of the Legislature he sent a message to the Legislature, charging Miem with responslbllliy for the lynching of a prisoner In Edgefield, because they dlil not give him power to remove sheriffs, and in less than three weeks alter writlug that message lie appointed Cal Caughman to the only oftlcecre'ated by that Leglsla ture, although Cal Caughman boasts that he was present and helped to lynch Willie Leaphart in Lexington jail. Now, what do you think of his sincerity when he professes to wish to stop lynchlngs,and at the same time appoints lynchers to State oflices ? HIGH Omt'EKS VIOLATE THE LAW. Again. You heard Governor Tillman say two years ago thut he would see thut State ollleers who violated the law were prosecuted, or words 10 that effect, and yet he has heard the Attorney General, the highest law officer of this .Stale, admitthathe weutto the Greenville meeting with a pistol concealed about his person. The highest officer of the Stale, to prosecute those who break the laws of the suite, himself violating the law. We fre(juenlly see some poor fellow who has a rusty pepper box In his hip pocket brought up and punished In our courts, and yet this high State officer violates the law with impunity and Governor Till man takes no step to have him prosecuted despite bis promise of two years ago. 1,AW FOR COMMON 1'KOI'I.K WHICH THE OFFICEKS VIOLATE. And again, Governor Tillman niter having sworn on the holy Kvungelists that, as Governor of this State, ho would discharge the duties of that office, which are to enforce the laws (not a part of them) to the best of his ability, so him God, publicly declared that as Ooternor, with the sanctity of this oath on his lips for one crime lie would lead a lynching party. What right has he to say which laws lie will enforce,and which he will break ? If hecan select o?e to break he can select another, and another, and so on as lar as be pleases. How can you expect the people to obey the laws when the Governor and the AttorneyGeneral act In this way ? Does it not look as It the Governor thought laws were made to be obeyed by common people and to be broken by State officers ? Have I not. made good my charge that this administration is responsible In part for the j lawlessness in Soutb Carolina j KKl'UllMCANISM AND IIAShKj;],ls.n, I must condemn without reservation the charge made by Governor Tillman Unit. Governor Sheppard uud his ticket are Republican* at heart. You all know there Is not one p:irticlc of fact to base tills charge upon, Voice in the crowd : Did not H?mpton say that an Independent Is worse than a radical? I believe so. ])<Tyou think that ? Yes. , 'i'hpn alnt the Ilaskellites worse than radicals ? No. I think Judge Haskell and those who acted with him made a mistake, but there were a great many Irregularities two years ago, and you all know that Judge Haskell and most of the men who voted for him are honorable men, and as honest In their convictions as either you or I. Hut that lias nothing to do with this question. Neither Gov. Sheppurd. Col.Orror I voted for Judge Haskell. We voted for Governor Tillman because begot what wc considered the Demo?rntis* iioi.iinntinn mirt when Governor Till man because he got what we conslderd the Democratic nomination and when the Governor Tillman says that Sheppard and Orr are Republicans, you know It is not true. WHAT SHKl'I'AIII) AND OKU 111II. In 1S7i> when the Wallace House made the famous march from Carolina Hall to take possession ol the State House, .John C. Slieppard marched at the front of that column, and when they readied the door of the House of Representatives it was the sirona arm and the cool courage of James L. Orr which burst the sentinel-guarded door open, and under that arm John C\ Sheppard was thellrst man to enter that Hall in defence of the rights of the people of South Carolina, and ever since that time both of them have been in tlie forefront of every fight for the Democratic party, long before It. It. Tillman was ever heard of. Call these men republicans. Hither of them young. Intelligent and inlluential could have had the highest reward from the Republican party when it was in power, but they helped with all their might to hurl it from power. You know that if there are any two men in South Carolina whose democracy is beyond rtliestIon or cavil John C. Sheppard and James I,. Orr are so. IH'1111 v I.-IKIM I'ATItlOTISM. To-day.I. L. (irr stands before you as the candidate lor Lieutenant Governor, purely from patriotism. lie could have had the unanimous nomination for (iovernor, hut de- ! dined it because his business xvouid not permit him to lake it. He would have taken that it he was hunting an olliee. THK KACTOKIKS ANll HANKS. Again we are told that ()rr ami sheppard represent the factories ami the banks. I do not think this Is any objection to them. When analysed it simply means that they have been honest enough, Intelligent enough and successful enough lor their neighbors and acquaintances to be willing to risk their property in their hands. If honesty, integrity, successful, business management and the confidence of one's neighbors and friends is to hurt a man inj this country, I greatly misunderstand the i temper and spirit of our people. SIIKI'I'AUtl DKh'KNIlKII Kttll.M *1*11K INSIM'ATtoNS OK Tl I.I.MAN. Voice in the crowd?What about Governor Sheppard drinking and gambling? I was (iovernor Sheppard's room unite at: I *ollege, and have been associated with him ' for twelve years in the Legislature and never 1 knew or heard of his being under tlie Intlu-1 eecc of liquor or l?et ting at all. lie was ?; lee led four or live times lo the l.eg-! islature, three times Speaker of the ilous-,; and once Lieutcuaul Cioveruor, ami juii ' 7;- ' :v .; know It would have been charged on him if I f true. You know that no bank In this country would keep ii man for president who either got drunk or gambled. and lastof all. Governor Tillman either Insinuates what is ntrue about Governor Sheppard or he attempted to get the convention to nominate n man for Governor who In u drunkard and a gambler, when lie seconded Sheppard's nomination in tin- Slate Convention. Let his friends take their choice in this dilemma. Either way !t reflects severely on Governor Tillman. TII.J.MAN ARRAIGNED FOR LOWERING THE STANDARD OF MOKAUTY. In conclusion, I arraign Governor Tillman for lowering the standard of morality in this State by Ills example, aud I call on not only the Christian, but on all moral men In this State, not to endorse him as an example worthy of imitation by our young men. No man In this audience, 1 venture, has ever before heard of a Governor In South Carolina publicly profaning the name of God In a public address to the people of South Carolina. No one here ever heard of a Governor of this State, because he was provoked publicly, declaring In a formal speech thai he would rather go to hell with Ills party friends than to heaven with others. No one here ever heard of a Governor of South Carolina being so vuig'ir in his public speeches as to make men afraid to take their wives and their daughters out to meetings where the welfare of the State is to be discussed. PUTTING THE VOTKR TO A ItARD TEST. My fellow citizens, the Governor ban always been regarded as an exalted type of mauhcod worthy of emulation and admiration. Are you willing to affix your approbation a* Christian and moral voters to thisconduct? Is there any man here who would be willing with the responsibility of a father restlug upon him to train up his children to take his little boys around his hearthstone and point to the character of the Governor of South Carolina as a suitable type of noble manhood for their emulation. I take It not, and if not, then let us vote for men that do not thus offend the moral and Christian sentiment of our people. GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE IN THE HANDS OH fiOOI) MEN. It was William renn wno saiu uie uboiikovcrnment In the bands of bad men 1b as bad an the worst, and the worst form of government In tbe bands of good men is as good as the best. We believe this republic of ours and this State government of ours are the best and most enlightened and freest government in the world, giving more of liberty and independence to Its citizens than any other upon tbe tilobe. Let us not commit tbe lolly of entrusting It to bad men. Barbecue and the Committee Thereon Before I Introduce the next speaker, I am requested by the managers of the barbecue to state that the following committee have been appointed to wait at the tables, and to see, in so far as they can. that everybody sets a dinner. The following Is the committee : S. C. Cason, C. I). Allen, E. G. Graydon. Richard Hondley, It. M. Mabry, H. H. Hill, J. M.Giles, W. P. Calhoun, John Harris, T. D. I'ouglass, J. F. Miller, W. C. McGowan, K. L. Wilson, J. L. l'errin, Waldo Marshall, Thomas Q,uarles, Harvey Wilson, T. 1\ Thomson. \V. N. Graydon. We cordially Invite everybody?especially our Tillman friends?to eat a barbecue dinner with us. The Conclusion. At the close of Mr. Murray's speech, the friends of Gov. Tillman asked If Mr. Benet would be allowed to Bpeak, Mr. McGowan stated that he would be allowed and asked the crowd to give him a respectful hearing. Mr. Henst came forward, and among other things denounced the Press and Banner report of his speech at the meeting which was held here some weeks ago. Mr. McGowan said he endorsed that report. An altercatioa then arose. Some nurd words were used and Mr. McGowan struck Mr. Benet. There was a little excitement and some confusion for a few minutes. As Mr. McGowan came down the steps be staled publicly that he deeply regretted the unfortunate occurence. He afterwards went to Mr. Bf-net's ottice and expressed the same regrets to him. - ??
