MY SI ? ?-MO r? ER.
The marriage lite was over
And though I turned aside
To keep the guests from seeing.
The tears i could not hide.
I raised nay face in smiling,
And led'mv little brother
To greet my father's chosen?
But I could not call her mother.
She is a fair young creature.
With meek and gentle air,
With blue eyes bright and beaming,
And sunny silken hair,
I 6-now mr- father cave her
The love he gave another,
But if she were an angel,
I could not call her mother.
They took my mother's picture
From its accustomed place,
And hung beside my father's
A fairer and younger face,
'fliey made her dear old chamlv r
The abode of another,
But I will not forget thee
My own my angel mother.
Last night I heard her singing
A song i used to love,
As its dear notes were hallowed
By one who sings above.
It grieved my heart to hear her
The tears I could cot smother,
For every tone was hallowed
By the voice of my mother.
My father's in the sunshine
And brighter days to come,
They have forgot the shadow>
/ That darkened our dear home
His heart ne more is lonely.
But I and little brother,
Will still be orphan children,
God gives us but one mother.
only one verdict.
Rtv. Dr. Talinage Gives Wsrt'l*S to
the Impenitent.
Brooklyn, June, 17.?Rev. Dr. Tab
mage, who is now on his round the
world journey. Las selected as the subject
for his sermon through the press today
"Another Chance," the text being
taken from Ecclesia3tes xi, 3, "If the
tree fall toward the south or toward the
north, in the place where the tree falleth
there it shall be."
There is a hovering hope in the miuds
of a vast mulititude that there will he aD
opportunity in the next ""orld to correct
the mistakes of this; that if we do make
complete shipwreck of our earthly life it
will be on a shore, up which we may
walk to a palace; that, as a defendant
may lose his case in the circuit court and
carry it up to the supreme court or court
of chancery and get a reversal of iudg
ment in his behalf, ail tne costs Demg
thrown over on the other party, so if we
fail in the earthly trial we may In the
higher jurisdiction of eternity have the
judgment of the lower court set aside,
all the costs remitted, and we may be
victorious defandants forever. My object
in this sermon is to show that common
sense a3 my text declares that such
an expectation is chimerical. You say
that the impenitent man, having got into
the next world and seeing the disaster,
will, as a result of that disaster, turn,
the pain the cause cf his reformation.
But you can find 10,000 instances in this
world cf men who have done wrong,
and distress overtook them suddenly.
Did the distress heal them? Xo. They
went right cn.
That man was flung of dissipations.
mnot cstm* r?rinfcincr " said the doc
X UU UiUOl/ VI**** M.?? .?
tor, "and quit the fast life you are lead,
log, or it will destroy you." The patieat
suffers paroxysm, but under skillful
medical treatment he begins to sit up,
begins to walk aboat the room, begins
to go to business. And, lo, he goes
back to same grogshops lor his morning
dram, and his evening dram, and the
drams between. Fht down again. Same
doctor. Same physical anguish. Same
medical warning. Now the illness is
more protracted, the iiver is more stub- '
born, the stomach more irritable, and
the digestive organs are more rebellious.
But after awhile he is out again, goes
back to the same dramshops and goes
the same roimd of sacrilege against his
physical health.
He sees that his downward course is
lUiniDg his housenoio; mat msnieisa
perpetual perjury against his marriage
vow; that that broken hearted woman is
so unlike the roseate young wife whom
he married that her old scboolmastes do
not recogmzsher; that his sons are to be
taunted for a lifetime by the father's
druukenness; that the daughters are to
pas3 into life under the scarification ot a
disreputable ancestor. He is drinking
up their happiness, their prospects for
this life and perhaps lor the life to come
Sometimes an appreciation of what he is
doiDg comes upon him.^. His neivcus
system is all a tangle. Jtfrom crown ct
head to sole of foot he is one aching raspiDg,
crucifying, damning torture. Where
is he? In hell cn earth. Docs it reform
him?
After awhile he has delirium tremens,
with a whole jungle of hissing reptiles
let cut on his pillow, and his screams
horrify the neighbors as he dashes cut of
his bei crying, "Take these things cflf
me!" As he sits pale and convalescent
the doctor says: "Xow, I want to have
a plain talk with you, my dear fellow,
fhft npvt ottnoV of this kind vou have
you will be bejond all medical skill, and
you will die." He gets tetter and goes
torth into the same round again, This
time medicine takes no effect. Consultation
of physicians agree in saying there
is no hope. Death ends the scene.
That process of inebriation, warning
and dissolution is going on within stone's
throw of you, going cn in all the neighborhoods
of Christendom. Tain dees
not correct. Sutlering does not reform.
What is true in one sense is true in all
senses and will forever be so, and yet
men are expecting in the next world purgatorial
reiuvenation. Take ud the
o ? - V
printed reports of the prisons of the
United States, and you will find that the
vast majority of the incarcerated have
been there before, some of them four,
five, six times. With a million illustrations
all working the other way in this
world, people are expecting that distress
in the next state will be salvalor y
. Yon cannot imagine any worse torture
in any other world than that which some
men have suffered here, and without aDy
salutary consequence.
Furthermore, the prospect of a reformation
in the next world is more improbable
than a reformation here. In this
world the life started with innocence of
infancy. In the case supposed, the othet
life will open with all the accumulated
bad habits ol many years upon him.
Sorely It is easier to build a strong ship
oot oi new timber than cut of an old
hulk tbat has been ground up in the
breakers. If with innocence to start
with in this life a man does not become
godly, what prospect is there that In the
next world, starting with sin there wculd
be a seraph evolated? Surely the sculptor
has more prospect of making a fine
statue out of a block of pure white Parian
marble than out of an old black rock
seamed and cracked with the storms of a
half century. Surely upon a clean white
sheet of paper it is easier to write a deed
or a will than upon a sheet of paper all
scribbled and blotted and torn from top
* to bottom. Yet men seem to think that
though the lite that be^an here comparatively
perfect turned out badly, the next
life will succeed, though it starts with
a dead failure.
"But," says some one, "I think we
ought to have a chance in the Dext life,
because this life is so short it allows
only small opportunity. We hardly have
time to turn around between cradle and
tomb the wood of the one a'mcst touching
the marble of the other." But do
you know what made the deluge auecessit}?
It was the longevity of the an
ted.luvians. They were worse in the
recond century ot their lifetime than in
the first hundred years, and still worse
m the third century, and - still worso all
the way en to 700, 800 and 900 years,
and the earth had to be washed and scrubbed
aud soaked and! anchored clear cut
of sight lor more than a m?nth before it
could be made Qt for decent people to
live in.
Longevity never cures impendency.
All the pictures o* Time represent him
with a scythe to cut, tut I never saw
any pictnre of Time with a case otmedicines
to heal. Seneca says that Xero
for th; first five years of his public life
was set up for au example cf clemency
and kirdness. but his path all the way
descended until at 08 A. D. he became
a suicide. If 8C0 years did not make
antediluvians any better, but only made
them wcrse, the ages of eternity could
have no effect except prolongation of
depravity.

and elevated influences substituted, and
hence expurgation and sublimation and
glorification." But the righteous, all
their sins forgiven, have passed oa into
a bealifl3 state, and consequently the
unsaved will be leit alone. 11 cannot
be expected that Dr. Duff, who exhausted
himself in teaching Hfndoos the way
to heaven, and Dr. Abeel. who gave his
life in the evangelization of China, and
Adcniram Judson, who toiled for the
redemption cf Borneo, should be sent
down by some celestial missionary society
to educate those who wasted all
their earthly existence. Evangelistic
and missionary efforts are ended. The
entire kingdom of the morally bankrupt
by themselves, where are the saivatory
influences to come from? Cam one
speckled and bad apple in a barrel of
diseased apples turn the ether apples

Poneropolis was a city where King i
Philip of Thracia put all bad people of :
his kingdom. If any man had opened a
primary school at Poneropolis, I do not i
think the parents from other citie3 would
have sect their children there. Isstead i
of amendment in the other world, ali the i
associations, now that the good are i
evolved, will be degenerating and down. ;
You would not want to send a man to a 1
cholera or yellow fever hospital for his
health, and the great lazaretto of the
next world, containing the diseased and
plague struck, will be a poor place for !
moral recovery. It the surroundings in i
this world were crowded of temptation,
the surroundings of the next world, alter
the righteous have passed up and on i
will be 1,000 per cent mere crowded of
temptation.
The Count of Chateaubriand made bis
little son sleep at night at the top of a <
castle turret, wher6 the winds howled ,
and where specters were saiu to haunt ;
the place, and while the mother and sis- j
ters almost died with fright the son tells
us that the process gave him nerves ]
that could not tremble and a courage i
that never faltered. But I don't think ;
that towers of darkness and the spectral i
world swept by sirocco and euroclydon
will ever fit one for the land of eternal '
sunshine, I wonder what is the curri- '
cuium of that college of inferno, where <
after proper preparation by the sins of ]
this world, the candidate enters, passing !
on from freshman class of depravity to
3tphomore of abandonment,- and from i
sophomore to janior, and from junior to
senior, and day of graduation come, and i
with diploma signed by satan, the pre"?- j
ident, and other professional demoniacs j
attesting that the candidate has been ;
long encugh under their drill, he passes
up to enter heaven! Pandemonium a ,
preparative course for heavenly acimis- j
sion! Ab, my friends, saian and his '
cohorts have fitted uncounted multitudes <
for ruin, but never fitted one soul for j
happiness.
Furthermore, it would not he safe for \
this world if men had another chance in <
the next. If it had been announced that i
however wickedly a man might act in j
this world, he could fix it up all right in i
the next, society would be terribly de- 1
moralized and the human race dernol- <
isfced in a few years. The fear that if we <
are bad and unforgiven here it will not <
be well for us in the next existence is the
chief influence that keeps civilization <
from rushing tack to semibarbarism and <
semibarbarism from rushing into mid- i
night savagery, and midnight savagery ]
from extinction, for it is the astringent j
impression of all nations?Christian and ]
neamen?mat icere is uu iiuurc
for tnose who have wasted this.
Multitudes of men who rue kept within
bounds would say: "Go to, now!
Let me set all out of this life that there
is in it. Come, gluttony and inebriation
and uncleanness and revenge, and
all sensualities and wait upon me. My
life mayj,be somewhat shortend in this
world by diesolateness, but that will
only make heavenly indulgence on a
larger scale the sooner possible. I will
overtake the saints at last and will enter
the heavenly temple only a iiUle later
than those who behaved themselves
here. 1 will on my way to heaven take
a little wider excursion than those who
were on earth plou?, ana ? sn&u go to
heaven via gehenoa and via sheol." i
Another chance in the next world means <
free license and wild abandonment in <
this. i
Suppose you were a party m an im- i
portant case at law, and you knew from
consultation with judges and attorneys j
that it would be tried twice, and the j
first trial would be of little importance, i
but that the second would decide every
thing. For which trial would you make i
the most preparation, for which retain ]
the ablest attorneys, for which be most |
nnvinno oKotiJ Q f fpn r?Q nPf> nf wit. I
MUiXiVUO U^VUW buv MVWMV.MUVW w> ....
nesses? You would put all the stress
upoa the second trial, all the anxiety,
all the expenditure, saying, "The first
is nothing; the last is everything."
Give the race assurance of a second ana
important- trial in the subsequent life,
and ail the preparation for eternity
would be "post mortem," post funeral,
post sepulchral, and the world with one
jerk be pitched cfi'into impiety and godles3ness.
Furthermore, let me ask why a chance
should be given in the next world if we
have refused innumerable chances in (
this? Suppose you give a banquet, and
you invite a vast number of friends, but
one man declines to come cr treats
your xuvitatfon with indiflerence. You
in the course of 20 year3 give 20 banquets
and the same man 13 invited to
them all and treats them all in the same
obnoxious T?.y. After awhile ycu remove
to another he use, larger and better,
and ycu again invite your friends,
but send no invitation to the man who
declined or neglected the other invitations.
Are you to blame? Has he a
right to expect to be invited after all the
indiguities he has done ycu, God in
this earth has invited us all to the banquet
cf his grace. He invited U3 bv his
providence and his spirit 3G5 days of
every ^ear since we knew our right hand
from our left. It we declined it every
time or treated the invitation with indifference,
and gave 20 or 40 or 50 years
^ 1- A? , i 1 i.1 1
ci inaigmiy on our pari io.vsru tuc usu*
queter, and ot last he spreads the banquet
in a more luxuriant and kindly
place amid the heavenly gardens, have
we a right to expect him to invite us
again, and have we a right to blame
him il he doe3 not inviteus?
If 12 gates of salvation stood open 20
years or 50 yenrs for our admission and
at the end of that time they are closed,
can we complain of it and say: '"These
gates ought to be open again. Give us
another chance?" If the steamer is to
sail tor Hamburg and we want to get to
Germany by that line, and we read in
every evening and every morning newspaper
that it will sail on a certain day,
tor two weeks we have that akvertisei
mcnt before cur eves, and then we go
down to the deck 15 minutes after it
has shoved oft'ml o the stream and say,
' Come back. Give me another chance.
It is not fair to ireat me in this way.
Swina up to the dock again, and throw
out plank3, and let me come on board."
Such behavior would invite arrest as a
madman.
And if alter the gospel ship ha3 Jain
at anchor before cur eyes lor years end
years, and a!i the benign voices ol earth
and heaveu have urged us to set on
hoard, as she might set sail at any moment
2nd after awhile she sails without
us, is it common 3euse to expect her to
comeback You might as well go out
on the Highlands atNaveeink and call
to the Majestic after 3he has been three
days cut and expect her to return as to
call back an opportunity for heaven
when it has once sped away. Ali heaven
offered as a gratuity, and lor a lifetime
refuse to taks it, and then rn3h on
the bosses or Jehovah's buckler demanding
anothci chance. There ought
to be, there can be, there will be no ,
such thiug as posthumous opportunity.
Thus our common sense agrees with my
text, "Ii the tree fall toward the sculh
or toward the north, in the place where
the tree /alleth there it shall bs."
You see that this idea lifts this world
up from an unimportant way station to ,
a platform of stupendous issues and
makes all eternity whirl around this ,
hour. But one trial for which all the j
preparation canst be made m this world ,
or never made at all. That piles up all
the emphasis and all the climax93 and ,
all the destinies into life here. No other '
chance! Oh, how that augments the <
value and importance 01 tai3 cnauce: i
Alexander, with his army used to 1
surround a city, and theD would lift a ?'
great light iu token to I he people that
it they surrendered before the light went !
out all would be well. But if once the j
light went out then the battering rams ,
would swing against the wall, and de- ,
molition and disaster would fallow. :
Well, all we need do for our present and
sverlasting safety is to make surrender '
to Christ, the king and conqueror?sur- j
render of cur hearts, surrender of our i
lives, surrender of everything. And he i
keeps a great light burning, light of gos- <
pel invitation, light kindled with the
wood of the cross and flaming up against )
fcae dark night of our sin and sorrow.
Surrender while that great light contin- ;
ues to burn, for after it goe3 out there ;
will be no other opportunity of making ,
peace with God through our Lord Jesus j
Christ. Talk of another chance! Why
this is a supernal chance! ;
la the time of Edward VI, at the j
battle of Musselburg, a private soldier, ]
seeing that the Earl of Huntley had lost i
hia helmet Iook off his own helmet and :
put upon the head of the earl, and the
head cf the private soldier uncovered he
was soon slain while his commander 1
rode safely out ct toe Dame. ?sut m ;
our case, instead of a private soldier offering
helmet to an earl, it is a king put- (
ting his crown upon an unworthy subject,
the king dying that we might live.
Pell it on all points of the compass.
Tell it to night and day. Tell it to all
earth and heaven. Tell it to all centuries,
all ages, all millenniums, that we
have such a magnificent chance in this ;
world that we need no other chance in :
the Dext.
I am in the burnished judgment hall 1
of the last dav. A great white throne
is lilted, but the Judge has not yet taken :
it. While we are waiting lor his arrival
[ hear immortal spirits in conversation.
11 What are you waiting here for?" says
a soul that went up from Madagascar to
a soul that ascended from America.
The latter says: "I came from America ,
where 40 years I heard the gospel !
preached and Bible read, and from the
prayer that I learned in infancy at my
mother's knee until my last hour I had :
gospel advantage, but for some reason I i
did not make the Christian choice, and I .
am here waiting fcr the Judge to give
me a new trial and another chance."
"Strange," says the other. "I had but
one gospel call in Madagascar, and I accepted
it, and I do not need another
chance."
"Why are you here?" says one who
on earth had feeblest intellect to one
who had great brain, and silvery tongue,
and scepters of influence. Tne latter
respone-'s: ( Oh, I knew more than my
fellows. I mastered libraries and had
learned titles from colleges, and my
name was a synonym for eloquence and
power. And yet I neglected my soul,
and, I am here waiting for a new trial."
"Strange," says the one of the feeble
earthly capacity. "1 knew but little of
worldly knowledge, but I knew Christ
and made him my partner, and I have no
need of another chance."
Xow the ground trembles with the approaching
chariot, The great folding
doors of the hah swing opeu. "Stand
back!" cry the celestial U3hers. "Stand
back, and let the Judge of quick and
dead pas3 through!" lie lakes the
throne, and lookiog over the thorng cf
nations he sajs: "Come to judgment,
the last judgment, the only judgment."
B> one flash from the throne all the history
of each one flames forth to the vision
Dt himself and all others. "Divide!"
jays the jage to the assembly. "Divide!"
2cho the walls. "Divide!" cry the
the guards angelic.
And now the immortals separate,
rushiug this way and that, and after
awhile there is a grea't aisle between
them, and a great vacuum widening and
wideniug and the Judge, turning to the
throng on one side, says, "He that is
righteous, let him be righteous still; and
be that is holy, let him be holy still,"
and then, turning towards the throng on
the opposite side, he says, "He that is
anjast, et him be unjust, still
and he that is filthy let him be
filthy still," and then, lifting one hand
toward each group, he declares, "If the
tree fall toward the south or toward the
north, in the place where the tree falleth
there it shall be." And then I hear
something jar with a great sound. It is
the closing of the bock of judgment.
The Judge ascends the stairs behind die
throne. The hall of the last assize is
cleared and shut. The high court of
eternity is adjourned forever.

atc*lv Everything Passed off Peaceably. li
Lancaster, S. C., June 21?The
meeting: at Chester yesterday was red
hot, and it is a wonder that there was ^
not serious trouble. Governor Tillman Si
was the lirst speaker. He said he was
glad that his term as Governor was 0
nearly out. He said he had a hard and n
stumpy road to travel, but that he had y
cleaned out everything in the road for tl
the people, and that he was there ask- 3
ing to be sent to the United States ^
Senate. The Governor said the farm- y
prs were heinur legislated into the poor fi
house by the national government. Jj
Things in this State were kind of
straight now, although they needed a
some changes. He told the people to j
watch the legislators, lie said that for n
thirty years the laws of the national
government have been made in the in- n
t'erest of the classes against the mass- ^
es. Most legislation is aimed directly ^
at the farmer. The result is a few Sj
millionaires and sixty million paupers,
lie said the people had been bambooz- p,
led and had sent men to Congress who
30ld them out. The Governor said ?
that if he were sent to the Senate he b
would try to turn things upside down. a.
The Governor said he wanted to go to a,
the Senate because he wanted to do
something for the starving and down j]
trodden farmers. A majority of the t(
Senators now in Congress worship yi
money and bow down to the golden ^
calf. Lots of them were millionaires. a
The people sometimes tore things up- j
side down in the House of itepresentatives,
but the money power is entrenched
in the Senate. Monopolies q
and trusts control everything. He ?
went on to say that trusts and f,
combines buy Congress and buy Legislatures
in some States to elect Senators. ?
They have invaded South Carolina q
with their money and are trying to buy qJ
you. He spoke of the liock Jtiin tjoxey bi
army hauled free by railroads and ^
jumped on the Richmond and Danville
Road again. 119 told the whole free
sxcursion plan to the delight of the V)
audience. He said the blame for it lay p
among four?Cutler,Cleveland,whiskey
or railroads. He said it may have made +j
Butler feel good to hear his friends q
cheer him, but it made Tillman feel a
bad for Butler. He said: "I would beat p
Butler if I went back to Columbia and ^
never opened my mouth. (Cries of n
:<Yes.") but I want to get out with the a
people." He said Butler had not got- j
ten rich in the Senate, but had rubbed e,
up against millionaires so long that he n
half way believed himself to be one
and was incapable of representing the a
people. About this time there was a q
single cheer for Butler. The Tillmanites
yelled: "That'smighty weak." 0
Tillman brought up Butler's sup- S(
port of the nominees in 1890 and spoke
3cm6 about Hampton. Butler had re- <5
sented in plain terms the rising up of h
the people and said that it would s1
amount to chaos. From that chaos the Y
Coventor said arose Cleroson and Win- h
throp, and by it railroads and Coosaw Y
were whipped into submission. Butler
is not in sympathy with you. He has j:
been away from home too long. As to h
what Butler had done he had distribu- d
ted a few seeds, which Butler himself w
admitted were of no account. He n
read Butler's letter to the Democratic n
Executive Committee and said it was q
ambiguous. He said he would leave p
it to the committee to do what it ^
pleased. He was willing to aniae tne c
result of the Democratic primaries. ?
When he got ready to leave the party ^
he would bet two-thirds of the party h
went with him. (Loud applause.)
A BITTER SFEECH.
Senator Butler was then introduced h
and spoke substantially as follows: b
"WheD I began this campaign I an- si
Dounced that I intended to say nothing a
that would provoke trouble or excite- tl
meat and Governor Tillman,in his iirst c
speech, said he wanted Issues and pub- ci
lie measures only discussed. Yet at d
Yorkvllle, where he had the reply, he a
put an insult upon my character that I si
permit no man living to do without
resenting. (This provoked some con- r
fusion and tne crowd began to look out T
for squalls.) Gen. Butler raised his c;
voice vehemently and declared he pro- s
posed to have a hearing and if he pun- t<
ished Tillman he must take his punish- b
ment like a little man. Governor Till- ii
man charged or rather in a meaner c:
way than that, by insinuation, innuedo tl
and suggestion, that I had a corrup- s;
tion fund from Wall Street or else- I
wherp with which to buv mv seat into
the Senate. 1 say in reply that he or s!
any other man who says so is an infa- o
mous liar. When he has charges to si
make against me as a man or as a Sen- h
ator, let him come like a man of cour- t<
age and truth and specify, and not in- rl
dulge in the innuedo of a blackguard, p
The man has never lived (Voice: "Tell n
it.") and never will live who imputes p
dishonesty to me. Governor Tillman
may go to the senate, but he shall not tl
go there slandering me. Let him go $
on his own merits, and not by misrep- ti
resenting and villifying better men c
than he is. lie thinks I am not in f

i trUSl 1 Q&VtJ IlUb J?Ub ouuac i viufects
of his character whereby he ac- 1
cuses a man behind his back and the fj
next day denies he said it. t
Referring to the Governor's remarks I
about the Coxeyites at llock Hill, Gen. h
Butler pointed to some one in the h
crowd as one of the Coxeyites who g
came from Bdgeileld, and said that the b
Governor would no more dare to say to d
that man that he was a tramp, if he a
were on equal terms with him, than he t]
would undertake to lly. Tillman had
insulted these men bacause they had o
gone to Rock Hill without his con- a
sent. He had been bossing this State t)
so long that he thought he had a right, a
title and interest to do it. Regarding e:
the Governor's remarks concerning his y
not having spoken in the heated cam- y
paign four years ago, Gen. Butler de- d
clared that Tillman did not tell the o
truth when he said the committee had it
invited him to speak in the canvass, ii
lie said: "I was systematically ignored, p
Gen. Hampton was invited and went h
to Aiken to speak and Tillman's myr- p
midODS bowled him down and tried to g
disgrace that old man. I did not go to y
the meetings because I was not invited I
and it appears to me it was a part of a si
design to keep me from the people. In G
181)2 I tendered my services, but was a
not permitted to speak. h
Some one asked about Hamburg si
and Gen. Butler said he was there, but
didn't see Tillman. He had been told, b
though he didn't know how true it n
was, that when the shooting began I
Tillman couldn't be found. Tillman tl
said he was not in the war because he G
was too young, but some of his (But- r
er's) couriers were younger than that, n
Tillman had claimed the credit for
Clemson College, but the people knew
that men like Tindal and Simpson had n
as much as anybody to do with it. Till- i
man was always attacking somebody y
while that somebody was away. At v
Yorkville he had the indeeency'to lug t
Col. McJJee's wife into his speech, but tl
he would no more llmg an insult of v
that kind in McLJee's face on terms c
of equality than he would attempt to s<
pull up a tree by its roots. Gen. iiut- 1<
ler said he had nothing to do with out- s;
side men being taken to Hock Hill; he h
didn't know who arranged it and did v
not care. Tillman admitted yesterday n
that some of his friends came on the
same train and on free passes. S
Voice?"Given by your friends."
Gen. Hutler then exhibited the fa- c
nious "l'ass 1S0. 1, over tho Jucnmona * v
nd Danville, given to Governor Till- G
lan and family. Some one asked him G
?here he got it, and the Genereal repli- m
d that it was nobody's business where pi
e got it. Turning to Governor Tillman,
e asked him if he denied receiving this w
ass. cr
Governor Tillman?1 do not and I anow
the man who hauled these men ts(
ave it to you. (Applause.) al
Gen. Butler went on tosav that when in
'illman "was caught with this pass, q!
ke a thief with stolen goods, he gave m
: up and threw himself behind his to
rife." bt
Taking out of his pocket a copy of pj
tie State dispeneary report, Gen. J lutler th
aid he wanted to say that he had tb
eard no breath of.suspicion aghinst any .
f the departments of the State govern- q,
lent. In an interview in the .New j0
'ork Herald, Governor Tillman said
aat he alone was responsible for the j
ispensary. lie says if he goes to the
enate he will not go j unketing around.
Vhy did he junket in Cincinnati ana n(
le West to buy whiskey to ram down ra
he throats of the people V m
Cheers and counter cheers trough on c0
good deal of confusion, and Governer
'illman aroseand assisted the chairlan
in restoring order. di
Continuing, the Senator said he had w
ot gone junketing while in Congress,
'hirty days would cover every day he ^
ad been absent on his own account ra
nee he was hirst elected to the Senate. <;e
Heading from the report of the dis- aE
ensary, Gen. JiuMer said that the as- b2
jts.according to the reports, footed up ^
280,347.37 and the liabilities the same; -l3
ut instead of that, the former rpally
monnted to onlv S2G0.G34.lfi. a short- or
?e of ?10,000. Where is it, said he? [JJ

[as aDy of it struck in his pocket, p,
) be used as a campaign fund to bribe 0f
on ? I leave it to him to account for a
lat, and if he caD, nobody will be th
lore delighted than myself. Gen. Rut- a
:r read from the reports, saying that j)
le purchase of wines was shown
oere without giving prices or g?
uanity, and yet they call that an i,
onest administration of the public ??
md3. There Is over ?5,000 marked ac
own here in this way for one quarter,
iving no explanation, except the gross th
uanGty of all the various kinds pur- pC
aa3ed. How much of that ?5,000 is to jQ
e used as a corruption fund to buy ta
is way into the United States Senate? p
A Voice: 'God knows." hi
I wonder if he stays there for six fr
ears if any money will stick to his fr
ocket I . to
Speaking of the Governors state ment tb
oat any Reformer who got office under (i(

leveland, that he was a Reformer and pc
3ked the crowd if he was bought.
'his was answered by cries of "Xevr!"
and Mr. Hunter said he defied any w
lan to say he was bought.
Gen. Butler said he knew of only one f
ppointment given this State at his re- 10
uest. It was well known that Cleve- 88
md did dot incline to him on account m
f his position on finance at the extra
JSSiOD. j
Answering the charge that United .
tates Senators had raised money to
elp him In his canvass, Gen. Butler ?r
Eated that his brother Senators had J3*
oluntarily offered to do so, but that Jfj
e had declined to let them. The man 18
-ho said he had a corruption fund for
lat or any other purpose was a liar. ar
[e charged Governor Tillman with 21
aving perpetrated a deliberate slaner
on the United States Senate. There J*3
ras less money among the members 01
ow than in ante beilum times. These ?e
len would not be purchased half as 10
uickly as the man who made the a
barges. There was Gordon and Walsh, P3
lorgan ana Pugh, Berry, Jones, Vest, 10
lockerill, Blackburn and Daniel and
findsay. Southerh men against 18
'horn the breath of slander was never ,
eard until today when this man made ~
is base charges. [8
When I asked him if he would put J?
is chances on yoting in a separate *.
ox he pretends that he does not under- p
tand it. If he dare submit to a prim- ~
ay I will beat him three to one before FE
be people. But when I have got to
ontend with the rings and packed CE
onventions he has built up I am at a er
isadvantage. And I quote his friend
nd associate Senator Irby, when I
peak of rings in the State House. [J1
I have a theory about that dis pensay
and I believe it was put through by
'illman to be used as a political mahine
to send him to the United States or
enate. Under that law he had a right
) appoint ten thousand constables to n<
ehis political workers, and we read [J?
ithe newspapers that when the de- ni
ision of the Supreme Court, declaring T
be law unconstitutional, came, he ?
aid it paralyzed him. I don't wonder. 33

Gen. Butler made light of Governor UI

TILLMAN REPLIES TO BUTLER. tl
At this place today Governor Till- ir
ran replied to the speech of Senator
Iutler made at Chester yesterday, and st
rhich is given above. When Tillman lc
ras introduced he began by saying e]
hot ha hart rtnnp mnrfl work than all ai
be Governors since the war and he hi
ranted to be sent to the 'Senate, be- w
ause he believed he could be of equal at
ervice there. Replying to Gen. liut- p;
ir's remarks at Chester yesterday, he nc
aid that every imaginable indignity m
ad been heaped upon him and that it M
ras blacker and fouler than had been m
aade against any man.
"You took them," shouted Yancey d<
herrard, a well known drummer. a;
"I will tell you why 1 took them, you G
owardly hound. I will meet you tt
rherever you want to," replied the m
overnor. '*1 took them because lam
overnor of South Caroliua and I can- s
)t afford to create a riot on the public
atform." a
Mr. Sherrard made some reply that
as inaudible on account of the noise r
eated by the crowd, which became 11
;itated at this sensational incident. a
:ores of men jumped up and gathered Sl
)Out Mr. Sherrard and various cheer- 11
g and hurrahing ensued. A number
: ladies left their seats quickly and 8
oved away, and the Governor called
i them to return, that nobody would
i hurt and that the "few little pup- 8
es barking around here can have
eir tails and necks both cut oil, if v
iey want to."
After quiet had been restored the J?
overnor continued his speech as folws:
Gen. Sutler's pretense was that I P
id insulted him. The insult was that 11
said at iiock Hill that 800 men P
id been hauled there free to hurrah
r him. 1 had ridiculed them as the u
iw Coxeyites, the tooi3 of the corpo- h
.tions. and 1 said that somebody had t!
oney to spend and that there was a I s'
irruption fund, and that somebody I t!
id the disbursing of it- I said if he 0
d do it let him say so. i f the railroads
d not do it let the superintendent, a
ho is here say so.
"There is no doubt that Wall Street, I
rough Cleveland's iniluence, has p
ised a corruption fund to buy your
natorship. If he felt aggrieved, as tl
l old neighbor of mine, couldn't he
tve said to me, "Did you mean to say it
at I ara responsible for this?" This
the way he should have done it he y
id been a gentleman, lie wa3 glad of p
i excuse to assume the attitude of
illdozer and of saying things by iunu- .N
ido, which he knows the men of si
Igeiield don't take. If an iDsuit is G
fered in Kdgeiield there is a fight or tl
funeral. Gen. Dutler had declared d
at he was to pitch this campaiga on d
high plane, but in an interview at I
arnngton for the Associated Tress he s]
laracterized me as a bully and brag
irt, yet when 1 met him at Rock Hill Ii
addressed myself solely to the issues, o
is speech was made up of innuendoes s,
id personalities. n
At Yorkvdle he conOned himself to b
e issues and at that meeting I ex- o
>seci tne new uoxey uusmess auu i u
tend to keep it to his back as a mus- tl
rd plaster, until it is explained, p
rom henceforth I shall denominate 1
m a., "Coxey .Butler." (Laughter si
om the crowd and "That's right," u
om Gen. Butler.) 1 thought we had I
0 much State pride to show ourselves n
at way before the world, until the n
eneral disgraced himself by accusing a
e Governor of being a bully, brag- n
irt; coward and thief. He don't make h
iese charges directly. He out-innuen>s
innuendo, if there is such a thing t:
issible. When he opened his mouth a
id put out his tongue to see if it was 0
tter, it only stunk from the foul p
ords. n
The Governor said he beat Sheppard ?
t Governor 1,500 votes in bis own b
>unty and he would beat Gen. Butler s:
ore than that there. ]?
1 C3n afford, said he, to show records ?
ith him, both public and private, but ^
will not speak of all the things noto- P
ousiy current about his private rec- a
d, because 1 don'c light that way. I .
;lieve him honest, notwithstanding 11
.e Chadwick lottery in Charleston in b
174. We forgave him that mistake, n
itwithstanding we lost our money
id he is supposed to have made a I
eat deal by it. Soiling another will S
)t make oneself clean. I defy him, y
ie world, the flesh and the devil to
ing anything against my private s<
cord. The young man who says I h
<ok his insults, and I 3uppo3e he wa3 n
Coxeyite, and a fair sample of the h
en collected on the stand at Chester, !
curse me, I tell you the honest truth,
y pulse never quickened the one-six- v
enth of an incn. o
As he made the remarks 21r. John s<
unnovant, who had been at the Ches- tJ
r meeting, jumped upon the stand c
aned over the stage railing, and told C
,e Governor that "he wanted to ask n
m a question. He was very calm, r:
efore he could propound his question
ie chairman and several marshals n
fflowed out to him to get down from
ie stand and not interrupt the speak- I
. Dunnovant insisted on putting his n
lestion, but a dozen persons clustered c
ound him and attempted to drag
m from the stage. He persisted that a
i simply wanted to ask a question ^
it that he didn't care to be pulled p
>wn. Iiowever, he finally cot down ^
1 the ground in some way and an v,
:cited crowd gathered around him as q
i was very determinedly telling the (,
arshals to take their hands off of p
m and let him alone. (j
During all thi3 commotion Governor i]
illman started to resume his speech, a
ying he had no man going around
ith him to act as a bully; that the c
iople were his protectors. About j,
lis time there was a sort of .incipient a
ilcano raging behind the stage where a
te Chester man stood ia the midst of ?
:cited friends and foes, ile simg t
it that "if Tillman told him to move, a
?d d?n him, he wouldn't go."
At thi3 a number of persons shouted ^
till him" and it looked as if the volca- a
3 would belch forth lire. People be- v
la running to the rear of the stage, r
bile Dunnovant stood cool and deli- E
it telling the marshals to take their 0
mds oil him- that he was doing noth- ^
ig. Governor Tillman sung out that (
e did not know who he was, but if E
ley had any law in Lancaster, they had t
stter take him to jail. Some eiTort j
as eventually made to do this, but g
unnovant's friends stuck to him and s
clash seemed imminent. ?
' Where is Butler?" shouted some ;
r
"Bight down there in the thick of it, 1
j he always is when there is danger,"
louted a voice, pointing to the lion- t
ke form of Gen. Butler, who was $
landing in the midst of the excited v
:owd doing his utmost to pacify them, p
By that intervention of providence t
hich is sometimes thrown between v
fe and death, order was restored and t
ie Governor renewed his speech, y
Jen. Butler may just as well under:and,"said
he, "that such unseemly 2
cd disgraceful conduct is not going s

ian, lam not. I am not going to be

oesa't need any help to handle "one q

Col. McBee is here and I will repeat t
hat I said about his wife at Yorkville. v
simply said that some newspaper had
tid that his wile ought to leave him c
2cause he had allowed me to sleep in fJ
Is room in his private car going to t
fashineton. Turning to Col. McBee, t
le Governor stated that he had made
lis remark in perfect good humor and t
tquired if he considered it insulting, s
Col. McBee arose, hi3 stalwart form t
.raightening to its full length, and t
>oked the Governor squarely in the t
?e, and told him he would tell him ex- v
;tly what he thought about it. Said s
e: ''This is a political campaign in t
hich I have no interest. 1 have not a
itended these meetings and do not ex h

lay have business, and Governor Till- a
lah I say to you now that so far as i
Lrs. Mciiee's name is concerned you ?
tust keep it out of this campaign." c
Col. Mcliee uttered these word3 in a
Jtermined manner and with emphasis f
id he raised a torrent of applause, e
overnor Tillman started to say some- a
ling and Col. Mcliae told him die did t
want any explanation. s
The Governor?I will discuss you
ome more yet.
Col.McBee?But don'c you daresay T
nything about her. L
Governor Tillman then said* All a
ight, if Col. McBee considered he had 3
sed her name unwarrantably he would , j
pologizefor it. He went on to say '
omething about Gen. Butler having
iade reference so his wife, and Gen.
lutier immediately replied: "I apolo- 3
ize for that."
There was some little excitement a
uriug this sn.nppv dialogue, and a d
reat many persons closed up around n
tie stand. Governor Tillman said he s
rould repeat to Col. McBse's face that E
: he, as superintendent ot the Rich- a
load and Danville, was responsible p
or these men being carried on free p
asses, ha would declare that it was an j
iterference with the liberty of the j(
eople by the corporations. p
The < 1 overnor declared that the state- :
lent made by Gen. Butler, when he J^1
eld up a pass at Chester, yesterday, "
oat it was the original paS3 No. 1 isued
to him by ''Bunch" McBee, was
Use. Col. McBee did not have the p
riginpl pass. "I have it myself." p
There was loud applause for Tillman ii
t this. o
Where did Butler get itV said he. 2
lis friend, McBee took one of his (
asses and wrote a duplicate of it.- a
Col. McBee: "1 will bet you 85,000 o
iat it is the original pass." f
Governor Tillman: "It is not. 1 3aw n
, in my drawer, last year."
Col. McBee: "I will certainly break
on for the money on that and will
rove it by your own correspondence."
This hrnucht the cheers for Col. a
lellee. Governor Tiilman went on to 3
jy that Col. McLiee was a kinsman of
en. Jlutler and they were as thick as 1
lieves. I will characterize his con- e
uct as 1 please, said he, and uutil he 8
enles that he took t: se men to liock 1
liil I will stick it to hiui as being repondsible
for it.
The Governor then took up Gin.
lutler's statement as to the shortage a
f S 19.000 as shown in the State dispen- v
iry report. lie declared that the \
lountain had labored and had not even fc
rought forth a mouse. On the very *
pposite page of the report from which :
reu. Jiutler read, it would be seen that
ais 319,000 was an omission of the
rinter and was inserted afterward,
'he report was made up by Commisioner
Traxler and he never saw it
ntil it was sent to him. Yet Gen.
Sutler accused him of stealing public
loney. (Applause for Tillman.) The
ext time Butler made any cnarges
gainst him he had better see it ois
ock was not a lump of cotton before
e pitched it.
The Governor said the second sec
ion of the dispensary act gave him
uthority to use more than the 85000
appropriated for starting the disensary.
Under that section the moey
from the county dispensaries was
urned over to the State Treasurer to
e drawn by the dispensary commision
when necessary. Holding up the
iw, Governor Tillman asked Gen. 13ut?r
if he, as a lawyer, denied his authori7
to U3e this money. Gen. Butler relied
that he would read one section I
nd answer it tomorrow.
The Governor said that Butler had
nitated bis friend Haskell, who had
rought up his war record and intilated
that he was a coward for not goDg
in the war when he wa3 an invai'd.
t was not generous in him to do so.
hame on you, said he brave soldier that
ou are!
Gen. Butler denied that he had done
o, and Governor Tillman replied that
e had a very treacherous memory,
leaning Gen. Butler's statement that
e ought to have led the military to
)arlington.
The Governer 3aid that his enemies rere
praying for him to go there in
rder that they might kill him. Jeffer- j
on Davis and Lincoln did not follow
heir armies around, but stayed in their i
apitals directing their troops. The 1
rovernor said he could prove that he
ode down the street at the Hamburg"
iot with Gen. Duller.
Gen. Butler said he remembered
othing about it.
The Governor scouted the idea of a
'lirman being a coward, when six Tillian3
had given their blood for their
ountry. ' ,
Referring to Gap. Butler's statement i
s to the large amount of money that
e had spent for lawyers'fees while 1
e had been Governor, Tiilman stated |
e had only spent $9,009 altogether, <
rhile Smythe alone nad been paid $15,00
by A. P. Butler in one case. As
ran. Butler was such a fine lawyer the
eople had better make him Attorney
General, though Buchanan, down there
a Columbia, "could black and sell him
3 a lawyer."
The Governor declared that the rich
orporations of the country owned the
"ederal judiciary. H7ery judge now
ppointed was put there by Wall street
nd thev never put a man there who
rould not stretch the Contitution in
he interests of the money power
gainst the people.
He scored Judge Simoutou and said x
hat the only reason that he decided
gainst the ltichmond and Danville
ras because the Legislature had memoialized
Congress and because in his
tiessage he had blistered his back all
ver. Ten days after he had shown
dmonton up as a tool of the railroads,
Cleveland had put him in Judge Hand's
ilace. lie was just the kind of fellow
hat they wanted there to control
hings. Gen. Hutler knew all about
iimonton's tyranny and invasion of
itate rights, but he never opened
lis mouth in the Senate against it. lie
ust said: "Simonton is the kind of 1
nan 1 want. He is 'Hunch's' friend,
'ass him along."
The Governor declared, so help
lim, God, the people who had tried to
jet the Agricultural Hall in Columbia
7ould never get it. Hefore the Su?reme
Court affirmed the decision in
heir favor, Secretary of State Tmdal '
r/ould be out of oilice ana me iiugaion
would be kept on for a hundred
ears.
In regard to his meeting Ben Terrell *
.tSpartinburg, the Govenor said he
till occupied the ideaticial position
hat he occupied in Spartanburg,
lie asked Gen. Butler what had beome
of him at Batesburg when Tom
Vatson annihiliated him.
Butler: "Oh, he used me up."
The Governor went on to say he
rould not call Butler his iriend until
ie had apologized to him, but that afer
he had given his back a few more
lattingshe would be a right sort of a
:ood fellow.
Discusing the dispensary, the Govrnor
said that they now had a net
>rolit of StK),000 to turn into the State
reasury. In the town of Abberville
he prcdts from thed'spensary amouutd
to more than they had ever had
mder any other system. There was
54,600 to be devided between town and
:ounty, and what the county got was
ust that much picked up, as it had
tad never gotten any niDnev from
vhiskey before.
Some one in the crowd said that all
if the clod-hoppers would vote for
Cillman and the Governor replied that
he general had better quit the race
hen.
Touching Gen. llutle's remarks a3 to
he purchase of wines by the dispen
ary without; giving me quauuuea iu
he oilicial reports, the Governor said
hat these w>nes were bougth for the
iotels at Charleston and Aiken. There
vas vouchers in Columbia for every
cintilla of liquor brought. Beer had
