He had come to appeal to their sense of justice and right, to akk hib hearers to . th ink, to ask them to exercise their^ God-given right of self-government ; he had come to appeal to their consciences and induce them to d?cide the matter . ' according to what is right and just before God and man. An effort, he said, had been . made to prejudice the audience with insinua ti ono of Haskell ism. .That was an appeal to prejudice instead of reason;. The Conven tion, was Democratic and so were . ' its nominees. I ask, he said, that ye iake the , facts and decide . them according to the best interests of South Carolina, and I will stand where I have always been, the supporter of the nominee of the party. You know the history of this move ment' The first planar in the piaf form say8 that the Democratic party should be supreme. Didn't Governor Sheppard do all he could to help Governor Tillman secure . the election? I myself when there was a movement in the Convention to bolt made the most earnest speech I ever made to prevent that movement. I voted and worked for Governor Tillman because he waa the nom inee of. the party. The" Has kellites were mistaken, and they have recognized that fact, and I am j?lad they have. They have corns back and are now as good Democrats as can be found. ( Ay plause.) Tillman works himself in to a fury of acting, for that is what it is, about my accepting a nom ination after I had said I didn't want; it. A voice : "What did he say?" Orr: He had been for years say ing he didn't want an office. Yet he accpted one that pays $3,500 a year, and I am nominated for one which pays $10 a day during the session of the Legislature. Who deserves more contempt.. Tillman or myself? (Cheers for Orr.) He made the mistake in his own favor as he did with the free pass. (Ap plause.) I asked the Conventioti if they nominated me for any office to give me one which paid no salary. ("Hurrah for Tillman.") > Governor Tillman says he did not make a promise to reduce your taxes. He said at Newberry and at Anderson that he would save [ you a hundred thousand dollars. Did he do it? (Cries of "No!") At Anderson Governor Tillman refused Col Earle's offer to give if elected a thousand dollars of his salary to education, and said, "No, I won't do it, but I will save you a hundred thousand dollars the'first year." Has he done it? (Cheers'for Tillman.) Tillman said it was an outrage upon the administration cf justice " to employ legal counsel outside the Attorney General and the solicitors and yet he has \ empolyed more than did the proceeding Adminis tration for ten years. Tillman is trying to excuse himself in the Agricultural Hall matter. There was no danger that the State-would have to pay the blue Ridge scrip. The Supreme Court has declared it worthless. If you sold a farm for one-third I cash and the balance on one and I two years' time and you gob the " first payment and a mortgage to secure the balance, would you, because the purchaser expressed an intention not-to make the second payment, go into the cou rta? No. Secured byvyoux cash; pay ment you would say: If you do j not meet the second payment when it is due I will foreclose the mortgage . That is what Tillman should have done instad of making all his hurrah for political effect j andspending the State's money in j lawyers' fees. . I am proud that I am the presi dent of a factory ; proud that its stockholders had so m neb confi dence in me. Our own people own the stook and it is one of our own indnsti ies, and the time has passed in South Carolina when a fight should be made against auch inBtiutions. We are all borrowers, and instead of fighting banka we want more of them, to the end that . competition may make lower the rates we pay for our money. (Ap plause for Tillman.) Governor, Tillman says that I voted for Willard and that it was a mistake. There is no man in South Carolina that I love better than Gen McGowan ; I studied law in bis office and he has been my friend and is to-day, and lam .his, and yet I voted against him. Why? To pay a political debt. Not one of my own making, but | one that the party contracted.! The Democrats promised to give Willard the balance of his term, about a year, in consideration for his help in seating Hampton in 1875. I felt in honer bound to i ?y that debt. I considei lone the less, binding bec ?ras a political debt, becat icnor andmj politics go to is well as as IL y business a: lonor. . (Cheers.) A Voice : "Will you vo rillman if he is nominated? Orr: Of course I will, lo jon ask such a silly que [ don't suppose you doul patriotism of the Wallace 1 md a large. majority of ' tl Democrats in it voted for W: toucan see that the attei slow amounts to nothing.

There is no use in saying the right is against the farme is well to hide behind the far when you can't stand the (Applause.) There is no antij, between the farmers and the < clauses in South Carolina, the man who undertake to t ilaes against class, man agi man or neighbor against neig is: no friend to any class, app] use.) The mistake ?hat Governor ' man has made is in iniagi !hat he is the Farmers' Mover ind that you aro nothing. | E>lau3e.) Governor Tillman ?rou in the March Convention be could show,, you what Alliance conloi do at Greenvi be said he was the best part of Movement. He went to Spar burg to "straighten' out" Alliance, and when Talbert the Alliance got through "woolli him he dared not open his mc on the Occala demamds. (Choc He to-day is ruuning on Alliance platform when he c not believe ia its demands. (. plaut-e. ) Governor Tillman did dare to state his position on Ocaht demands at Greenville. Tillman: "I did." Or.;:: He won't stand on Ocalit demands and won't d it; Tfliman: "I do deny it."' The Governor's answers w not loud enough to be heard the crowd. Orr : Tillman instead of uphc ing the law has held it up to sec He has gone beyond prerogative in criticizing judiciary who are sworn to p form their duty as much as he At Greenville he said he was go: to write a new platform for 1 Legislature and wanted you "bc to swear upon the Bible j candidate to support it. Is i that an indication that he wai a Legislature subservient to 1 will? I do not believe the peo] of South Carolina will ever give to him. I had rather see Tillm made Dictator and such a farce a Legislature abolished. Governor Tillman wants remove^the sheriff, one of the ol est and most honored officers y have. He wants to set aside yo will and substitute the men of 1 pleasure, Such power shou never be conferred upon him any other man. Give Him Justice, Quite a number of tl newspapers in the State fightii Mr. Tillman are endeavoring make capital out of ^.e express? he is said to have used in h Greenville speech to the effs that he would rather go to he with his followers than to heaVi with the Sheppard crowd. C course the use of -such languaj was highly improper, but why c not the papers referred to do M Tillman the justice to publish ah his explanation of the objectioi able words? Immediately aft* uttering them he is reported t have said : Of course I mean th ; as merely typical language, simile without intending to b irreverent, but it does mean tha I am now with the farmers c South Carolina, and with them expect to die.'V-Lancester Reviei The trouble with the crank i that he will turn only one way A man has made a tremendous stride when he has learned to h av? the courage of his own convictions "As the partridge sitteth on eggi and hatcheth them not ; so he thai getteth riches and not by right Bhall leave them in the midst ol his days, and at the end shall be a fool."-Jer.

Ferguson in Once a Week. Amazons * i Review. Reviews or maneuvers of the Amazons are held frequently daring the annual custonftnd are not the playful affairs that they are in civilized countries. In a space used as a drill ground there is built a hank of thorny cactus bushes about 1,800 feet long, 20 feet broad and 7 feet high. Beyond and parallel with this heap is a house representing a fort The barefooted female warriors have to surmount three times the heap of thorns which represent the fortifications, de scend into the clear space like a ditch, escalade the house, which represents a citadel bristling with defenses, and take the town simulated by the hut. They are to be twice repulsed by the enemy, but at the third assault they are victo rious and drag the prisoners to the king's feet in token of success. The first to surmount all the obstacles receives from his hand the reward of bravery, for. saya the king, "We reckon military valor as the first of the virtues." The king places himself at the head of the column, harangues his women soldiers, inflames them, and at a given signal they throw themselves with the utmost fury upon the bank of thorns which torture their naked feet At the first assault, when the most intrepid had already gained the summit of the house, 1 saw a woman soldier, who was at one of the ends, fall to the ground from a height of sixteen feet. She was wringing her hands and remained seated, though her comrades were try lng to reanimate her with courage, when the king himself came np and threw at her a glance and cry of indig nation. She sprang up then as if elec trified, continued the maneuvers and carried off the first prize, lt is impos sible to give an idea of the scene. Goldthwaite's Geographical Magazine. Wood Tha* Paper Is Made From. Wood forms the basis of all modern paper. Almost any kind can be used, out spruce is regarded by manufacturers as the most serviceable in the long run. Other kinds which may be used to a greater or less degree are white pine. Norway pine, white fir, pitch pine, pop lax, beech, birch, cypress, tamarack, sweet gum and hemlock. The best shape for the wood is in logs four to ten inches in diameter, free from knots and used as soon after felling as possible. The next best form is in the shape of deal ends from sawmills. In ferior qualities of paper are made from slabs and edgings of wood. A great deal depends on the quality of the wood. If the wood is poor and lack ing in fiber, then the paper made from it will be weak and lacking in tough ness. The wood which can be used for paper making costs all the way from $7.50 to $10 a cord in the east, and as low as $3.50 a cord in the west In Michigan the lowest prices of all prevail.-New York Evening Sun. Pacific Coast Crabs. There are two remarkable species of .crabs on the Pacific coast, more plenti ful-there than any other kinds, which are called respectively the yellow and purple "shore crabs."

Even if printed or written upon there are processes for re moving tile ink and making the paper as white as ever.

A gentleman of many years' experi euee in China says that the right word ls . ^Pidgin," not "Pigeon" English.

He was one of the army who are liv ing and seeing life in Kew York on an attenuated income, and one cold morn ing he aw/>ve to the realization that the overcoat would be a necessary part of his garb for that day. He looked at it Twas* unpresentable. He thrust his hands deep into his pockets. They were empty. Two direful facts, neither of them surprises, faced him, but he was not annoyed. He proceeded cheerily to a small tailor's shop and presented the overcoat for repairs. "It will cost you a dollar," said Shears. "The price is no obstacle, pro ceed," replied the customer. Shears turned the coat over to a subordinate and sat down for a chat with the heaven sent customer, for Shears was a Span iard. And yet he was sufficiently Amer icanized to produce a deck of cards and propose a little game of poker. The heaven-sent assented. Vest battons made admirable chips, and the cards flew for some minutes, until the coat was repaired. Then the customer paid his bill in vest buttons, and received from Shears fifty cents for tho remain ing buttons he had won. Then, equipped for the inclement weather, he went for th conscious of the rift in the cloud. and bought for himself a luxurious fifty cent breakfast.-New York Times. WHEN LONDON WAS NOISY. Ia the Time of George II There Wu Uproar Everywhere. We who now object to the noise of a barrel organ in the street, or a cry of milk, or a distant German band, would be driven mad by a single day of George ITs London streets. Hogarth has touched the subject, but only touched it. No one could do more in a picture than indicate the mere fringe of this vast subject. Even on the printed page we can do little more than the painter. For 'instance, the following were some of the more common and every day and all day long noises: Some of the shop keepers still kept up the custom of hav ing a prentice outside bawling an invi tation to buyt buy! buy! To this day butchers in Clare marlie* cry out at their stalls all day long: "Rally up,' ladies! Rally np! Buyl buy! buy!" In the streets of private houses there passed a never ending pro cession of those who bawled things for sale. Here are a few of the things they bawled; I am conscious that it is a very imperfect list. There were those who offered to do things-mend chairs, grind knives, solder pots and pans, buy rags or kitchen stuff, rabbit skins, hair or rusty swords, exchange old clothes and wigs, mend old china, cut wireo-this excruciating, rasping operation was ap parently done in the open-or cooper . easies. There was next the multitude of those who carried wares to sell-as things to eat and drink-saloop, barl?j broth, rice and milk furmety, Shrewsbury cakes, eggs, butter, lily white vinegar, hot peas cods, rabbits, birds, pullets, ginger bread, oysters, honey, cherry ripe, Cha ney oranges, hot codlins, pippins, fruit of aH kinds, fish, taffety tarts, fresh water, tripe, tansy, greens, mustard, salt, gray pease, water cresses, shrimps, rosemary, lavender, milk, elder buds; or things of domestic use-lace, ribbons, almanacs, ink, small coal, scaling wax, wood to cleave, earthenware, spigots, combs, buckles, lanterns, pewter pots, brooms in exchange for old shoes, things of horns, Holland socks, woolen socks and wrappers, brimstone, matches, flint and steel, shoe laces, scissors and tools, strap? and the thousand and one things which aro now sold in shops. .The bear-ward came along, with his animal and his dogs and his drum, the sweep shouted from the housetop, the ballad singer bawled in the road, the tumbler aud the dancing girl aet up their pitch with fifo and drum. Nobody minded how much noise was made. In the smaller streets the good wives sat with open doors, running in. and out. gossiping over their work; they lilted the noiso: they liked this perambulating market-it made tho street lively, it brought, the neighbors out to talk and it pleased the baby. Then the wagons went ponderously grinding over the round stones of tho road, the carts rum bled, tho brewers' sledges growled, the chariot rattled, tue drivera quarreled, cursed and fought.
