Says Whether by an Understanding or Not an -Unholy Alliace" Exifts. Chester, July 2G?The menagerie, so to speak, held an all day performance here, and the Hen gall tiger came in. Senator Tillman made a red-hot speech and put new ginger in the fight. Ha was held until thtvery last, and when he talked, made it lively. Tillman was received with that old time whoop. To stait at the en 3, Tillman said: This was his seventh meeting and he protested against always beinj put last. There were some win thought he ought to remain at home. It was not bis fault seme one else does not want to be senator. Ht never felt happy unless be had op position, and he preferred it Ht may be a fool, but be was never accused of it, and, iberefore, he did not try to be a dictator, but felt free to give advice. As long as he was senator he felt free to talk. All are agreed on national issues and there was no use to talk on such matters unless he wanted to sheer aroucd cr say some sweet things. lie bad seriously regarded dis duty. He had thought it over, and feeliDg his obligations, he felt it carried with it some responsibility to assist in throwing light. Did you not teach me to use this tongue and to use it' vigorausly ? Did you label that tongue "for national use only ?" If so, say so. If you say so I will obey, j If not otherwise advised he was goi ing to talk right out on the liquor question. The people were free to do as they pleased and he wanted them to do so. It is charged that but for Tillman there would now be prohibition. He said he woiked for' the dispensary law. The prohibition ! vote cast was nothing like a general vote, and over 30,000 did not vote at' all. As to the dispensary beiDg a! great political machine. When it' came in he had just been reelected ! and he needed no machine. He ad- j vised the dispensary because he did * not believe prohibition could be en-' r j forced. He did this to save the' State from degradation and being' hypocrites under piohibition. The people have voted on this | question almost solely on State! offices, and the legislature in fourj elections, and but for him it would have been put in the constitution without any buts or ifs. He did this because the supreme court decision was pending. He wrote the clause, and whenever bis tongue grew fcrked he wanted to be kicked out. The minority is asking you to give up jour God-given rights and asking you to give up without a contest. It you are not careful you will be back where you where eight years ago. The State holds $400,000 worth of liquor, and that Tquor will fritter away or be lost. If you want it tL at i way it is your right. Dispensaiy men he hears are going to vote for the prohibition candidates. Mtn should stand for principles and stand by them. Stand by jour principles! If it is going to be a matter of re-; ligion and good-ieliowsLtip, tbeu you bad better go back toM^e convention system. Your committees are goiDg to ruin the primary by gagging and limiting the fpeakers. lie said the repot ters were generally fair. Men must not vote for personal preferences but on principles, but' you have such a right and do as you please, and he would not complain.: Tho r?onr>1? VtHVP COVemtd SoUth - O Carolina and the only way is to allow free time and take cIT ihe bridle. There have been accusations of integrity and no time for the charges or denials. He wanted to serve notice that he was goirg to speak first somewhere. Tnis gaging of ppeakers will kill the primary. Better have fewer speakers. What use is there, for instance, fur eight candidates for commissioner. They can show nothing in ten minutes, absolutely nothing. You do not want a man who can merely tell j jkes, but these men can tell nothing in that time. It was an outrage to limit the governors to thirty minutes. They are j all the same. They should all have more time, but some of them do not | want more time. Every msn should | have all the time he wants. It was , funny to see Gvnzdee, an op?u, avowed license man, now tLe org' n | or the prohibition pirty. He said | Gonzales fought openly aud bravely, "W. 1620 MAIN ST! l,Xl Solicits a 5 u although he sometimes Joes not tell ; the truth. { It was old sdJ stale, this thing j about the liquor men and preachers J being on the same line. He never ] said there was an agreement between i the preachers and barkeepers. But ! much is now being made out of it, : although he bad repeated it twentyj five times. He pictured the ministers in white fighting the dispensary and then another aimy in white aprons all fighting the same dispensary, 8nd Col. Hoyt certainly was \ccepting all these votes. Now the sole question is whether hese armies are fighting the same lispensary. Now Bishop Duncan said I lied when I said the probi ! oi ionisfs and liquor men were allied j under Cel. Hoyt. Tbat was severe ; language and be once used such language, but he did not do so now in the senate, but left that to Bishop Duncan. (Applause) Bishop Dun1 can would feel sorry for what he said of bim. , Then he took up the temperance committee and its declaration, which "denounced any insinuation that the effoit of Christian ministers and other citizens to rid this State of this gigantic evil is a sought or voluntary combination with the saloon element as a base slander. That is itself an attempt to strengthen the power of this most damnable inequity." He said if these ministers wished to accuse him of issuing a slander it was well and good. It would not hurt him. The people saw and knew wba: was going on and what the conditions actually were, and he reiterated that the liquor men and prohibitionists were allied, men whether this wa.s accident or conceit he cared not, as he only spoke of conditions. He quoted the definition of "alliance/' Then he took Dr. Gardner's sermon and Eaid he would reply to the j charges there made when he got to j Greemille and said he left it to the j audience if he had wilfully misrepre- ; sented anyone. He meant no reflection on the ministers. He believed they were mistaken, He believed they were wrong and perhaps famtt- i ical. These men have left their j pulpits and gone into politics and j made themselves liable to criticism. : These ministers have come down to discuss politics and those who come down put themselves on a plane with other polcicians and he was going to talk out and if they do not like it they could lump it. The Ten Commandments have nothing against selling liquor and the Bible makes liquor selling permissible. No man can go further than be as to the evils of liquor selling, but he as much as any minister wanted to cuitail the sale. When you go home think well whether you want to spew out all the good things of reform. He would have no complaint as to what i is done. lie asked all to watch the j legislators. Senator Tillman received a great | deal of applause and whooped up j the dispensary. He will attend the meetings at WiDnsbiro, Yorkville, ! G.ffuey, Spaitanburg, Union Green- ; ville, P.ckeDF, Wall alia, AndmoD, j Edgefield, Saluda, Lexington audi Columbia. How is This?

Columbia Evening Ib'Cord. The Record has received the fol lowing letter from Senator Tillrna] with a rf finest, for its rmhlioatior: Rev. J. 0. "Willson, Columbia, S. 0,. Dear Sir: I have your letter of Jul; 22, askiDg if my speech at JBeDnelts ville was correctly reported. I d< not recollect the exact words I usee at Bennettsville, but they are i) effect true as quoted; and inasmt el as the district conference of .'hi Methodist Church, under the Jeacpr ship cf Bishop Duncan, has tal:ei the matter up, and the Bishop is re ported to have "nailed'1 my utter ances "as a lie,11 while the report o the committee on tempeiance "de nounced any insinuation that the *f fort of Christian ministers and othe: citizens to rid the State of this gi gantic evil is a sought or voluntar; s*r\m Kirtafi/^n with f V\ a oolnnn cjI <2>m l\n uiuanuu TT i tu lug cutuvu iwujv.U as a base slutder, that is itself an fit tempt to strengthen this most damn able iniquity," I will take the occasioi offeied by your inquiry to make ai announcement over my own signa ture of what I said and meant a Bennettsville. Of course the re porter gave only the barest outlines I have not quarrel with the mini s ters of any church or denomiDntioi and have no purpose to give cffens< to any of them. I have always bori:u testimony to the high character anc purity of purpose characterizing thi ministry, but I believe they are wroiq in fighting the dispensary law as thr; do, aud I claim the right to say s? acknowledging at tne 3ame time toe; right to freedom of speech and free dom of political action on this ar.c every other sul ject. I mentioned the attitude of tin ministers incidentally a3 an illustra lion of the anomalous political situa lion. The ministers attack the dispensary because it does not go fa enough, and the high license peopl and the blind tigers, whom I desig nated as the ''old bar keepers," at tack the dispensary because it goe too far. They are thus found fight ing side by side in the campaign There is only one candidate in th field for Governor opposed to the dispensary, Col. Hoyt, and all of thes elements are allied in his support and the proof is that Charleston ii the last gubernatorial tlection vote ( for Mr. Featherstone an 1 prohibitior wheu it is notorious thi : the whisk ! element in that city is predominan | and that the dispensary law is nc ! enforced, mainly by reason of the la i morals of the grand jurors, whohav ! failed to discharged their duty unde 1 j their oaths. : Gnl. Hnvt last, winter in his nanro : the Mountaineer, urged coalition b( ! tween the high license people an i the Prohibitionists in the general as ' sembly in order to defeat the dispel eary law. CjI.

I believe ^ ^ prohibition is a Trojan horse by y a which the saloons want to again en- | ^ a ter our Siate. The whiskey men be- ! e lieve same thing.

The meetings lave not been largely attended and ^ be candidates do not put much fire o their declamations. They are all fter McSweenev, seeming to think : , le is a man they have to beat. He las uot said au uukiud word about ,ny of them, but "Tray, Blanche, j ,nd Sweetheart," are all after him. Iu all that has been said there has ! lot been the slightest intimation that he State has lost a dollar by him I jor that he is corrupt iu any respect. S'j one has charged that the cause of ,'ducatiuu has lu.st by any act of his ir that the public institutions have i luff red by ?uy of bis mistakes. No me can say that any line of business Lias siifleied from anything that he j uus doue or that the laws of the State i ' .uum JO -ii have not been enforced with witdi m and firmness. The only exeeptiou to this general approval is where the candidates for his place say that be has not enforced the dispensary law as well as they would. ''Promises are like pie crusts, easily broken." We venture to say that not one of iheso promising candidates could do any better. Neither 01 e of lli^tn has told how be could enforce the law any belter than McSweeney has. dust after he became Governor he called upon tl e mayors of all of the cities and towns in the State to give assistance. They all promised that they would do s >, and we presume that they were sincere. Io fact we know that many of them have doDO the best they could, and no candidate has laid any blame upon the municiptl authorities, who are as much responsible as GjV. Mo Sweeney. Suppose the people should eltet one of these candidates, how could he de more? Not one has told how be would go about fulfilling his promisr: not one of them would do any better. All such promises are vain arid empty. If tbeie wss aDy way to do better than McS^eeney has done some of his opponents would have explained it before this time.

Fairleigh, Platte Cannon, Col. Tutt's Liver Pills Letter ffom Arkansas." To the E lilor of t ht Dfpatcb: I will write a short Utter to tie Dispatch this week nod give tl e readers a little news from Aikansas. Farmers are about done lajiDg by corn, and all crops are very poor for tt?i3 season of toe }car. We had too much rain in the spring. 1 don't believe that we will make more than a half crop of corn, and probably not more than a two-thirds crop of cotton. All crops have been badly damaged by rain. We do not use the srme kind of plows here in farming that we did in South Circlina. We break and bed nearly all of our land with the Avery turn plow, (Xo. 8j and it is a wonderful plow. If a man is not pretty apt and quick to learn, it will take him six months to learn to do good work with one. I have cut down but cut few trees with an axe since I have been in Arkansas. We cut ail of our timber with cross cut saws and they are a wonderful labor saving improvement. We cut all of our fire and stove wood with the cross cut. We have but few buggies and carriages out here, and well that we have but few, for th 3 i oads arc terriably rough. We have good wagons and good spring seats, and we can go to meeting all right and we never fear breaking ?. down on the way. There is but little political excite- , ment here at present, as we held our primaries on the 5<.h of May, everything has quieted down for a little while at least Before a fellow can marry Lis best girl out here he has to go to the Circuit Cleik and buy a license for two dollars and a half, and if his girl goer* back ou him he forfeits his money. YVheo I write again I will U-ll something about our big saw mills ami bow they get their logs from fifteen to twenty-five miles distant. Success to the Dispatch. J. Pingree Simons.
