Phillips, having stood ap proved examinations, were admitted >tl trial. Tho fact that only six out of i class of sixteen applicants were re ceived shows that the standard of at tainment is being raisid, and that not ..very one who knocks at thc door of ;ho conference will bc admitted. [)no of those that failed was a re .ciH graduate of W off o rd College, jut was lacking in Biblical know edge, and hence thc committee re amed adversely on bis application. On Friday thc following class, af er an ablo, practical address by tho iishop, were admitted into full con icction : B. O. Berry, N. G. Ballen rei-, T. M. Dent, P. E. Milgo, S.

The next Annual Conference will ic held at Darlington. The growing city of Anderson lid a royal part in her entertainment >f the Conference. The elegant lospitality of her good pcoplo was inbounded, and "well done" was tho mammons verdict of all guests vilhin her Christian homes. The .Senatorial Knee. Thc Columbia correspondent of he Nexo? and (Jourie.r says that the Mliance element in thc Legislature s organizing a caucus whereby mea Itiros and men may be brought for ward when necessary. The cor espondent says : Dr. Stokes, President of the Farmers' Alliance of South Carolina, itt ended the caucus. AH it is woll known the Alliance has been a factor sf a high power in bringing about thc present Government, or more nc ???Ii. II min .ni rm .Minimi ourately the future Government of thc State, Dr. Stoker, was called on at tho Jerome Hotel and asked to re view tho political situation. Dr. Stokes said : "I had hoped that I would have escaped the inquisition of the repor ters, but I havo no objection to giv ing my viows. As tho President of thc State Alliance it will, of course, be understood I speak; with tho in terests of that organization at heart. "It is known all over tho Union tbnt tho questions whioh agitated the farmers in tho Wost and North west have become National in scope, and it is reasonably and confidently expected that those questions will bo the basis of legislation in Congress on matters vitally affecting tho agri cultural intercsis of the country. It will not bo questioned that it is and should be an effort worthy of tho best endeavor of tho Alliance in South Cnrolina that it should be re presented as far ns possible in tho towoi* I101180 of Congress and in the Scnato by men who aro in lino, in touch, in sympathy with tho Alliance. Certainly tho country at largo has no cause for alarm at tho results of tho November elections, with which the Alliance had so much to do. "Tho Stato is now fairly woll fa miliar with tho fact that tho revolu tion, if 1 cnn so term it, whioh has resulted in groat changes in thc composition of our present General Assembly has been the result of tho success in tho great majority of tho counties of candidates who stood in with thc principles of tho Alliance and pledged themselves to the Na tional Alliance, demands. I am con vinced from ibis circumstance, and from others which I could namo if necessary, that tho groat mass of tho people, whether members of tho Or der or not in this State, aro also in sympathy with these principles. "As to tho Senatorial race I can say nothing which will add to the information on tho subject which has already been published from both sides. I do know, however, that thc people of this State regard tho position of Senator as something much higher than a local issue. 1 do not believe that tho General As sembly, if it should defeat Senator Hampton, could properly be charged with the solo intention of rebuking him for any cause whatever. "Tho main causo of his defeat will be his attitude to tho Alliance demands and with special reference to it4* financial policy. Tho impres sion is abroad, and it seems to me justifiable by his utterances, that he is not in such accord with thc Alli ance or its objects ns would entitle him to its consideration as its repre sentative in tho Senate, and in view of what I havo stated before, that tho Alliance, if true to its interest! and principles, should naturally choose those who aro in close sympa thy with the movement. "The great fight of tho Alliance will take place in the near future and its judgment in South Carolina as it has done elsewhere, will dictate to it the advisability of electing 1 man who will weld in indissoluble union the South and the Wost. Thif is the one thing needful to crystallize tlie results of the 1th of Novemboi for 181)2. I am not familiar cnougl with thc conditions existing in the Senatorial race to say who will re coi ve tho nomination. Thc presen condition' is nebulous, and I ovei cannot state the political strength o thc friends of Gen. Hampton, or anj other candidate. I am specially de sirous, however, of making it quite plain, as I said, that if a candidat! should be elected on the lines I hov? indicated it should not be construce ns purely a rebuke or criticism o Senator Hampton. The movemeu is pitchcel on a higher plane thai mere personal or local issues; am while these cannot be wholly elimi natod as factors hillie problem, the; will not bo the chief or control lill] influences." Governor Tillman furnished th representative of tho News and Cou vier to-night with his first utterance for publication on any of thc inci dents of the late campaign since hi arrival herc. It is as follows : To the Editor of the News am Courier : In an editorial in to-day' issue of your paper, I fi ml the fol lowing statement: "Governor Til man lias been mentioned for th place', and we presume there is littl doubt he would be elected if li should announce his candidacy. Bi) during the campaign he declare that ho was wilHng that Hampton should upend the lcinaimlnr of his Ufo in the Scnato, and ho cannot bo spared from tho ofiieo of Governor until hin work has been accom plished." Please allow me to correct on er ror into which you have fallen. At Aiken the minister who opened tho meeting with prayer paid an eloquent and touching tributo to Senator Hampton in which I heartily con curred, and when I bogan my speech, after alluding to tho prayer, I spoke as follows : "I can oven go further than this, and could pray that Sena tor Hampton might dio in tho Uni ted States Senate, but ho has no business taking part in this family quarrel botweon Democrats." Those woro my sentiments at the time and I nover expeoted to chango thom, but Senator Hampton in that Aiken speech had offended his audi ence very dcoply by a broad intima tion that the State wus in danger of Mahoneism from mo and my friends. Since then ono of his friends has actually played Mahono ns far as ho was able, and the Senator had only words of praise and commendation for him, and while I have nothing to do with the Senatorial election and do not expect to allow tho uso of my nnmo ns a candidate for tho Senate, I no longer havo such feelings os I had at Aiken, and our Senator, if not elec ted, can attributo his defeat to his own acts. B. lt. TILLMAN. INDIGNANT AT BBNATOR 11UTL1CU. Senator Butler spent yesterday and part of to-day in the city look ing after the interest of Sonator Hampton. Ho approached many members, but without thc slightest success. Ho is said to havo askod tho Edgofield delegation : "What do you fellows moan? Surely you don't intend to throw Hampton out V" The reply was : "No, wc don't in tend to throw him out, but when the election comes ho'll have to go." Tlicy seemed to bo indignant at thc interference of Senator Butler, and one said that bc had bettor look out for himself. Thc Senator loft to-day for his home in Edgeficld, and it is stated that he will make no further inter ference, but go on to Washington in a few days. A gentleman on thc streets this morning offered to bet $150 that Hampton would bo elected. It is certainly to bc hoped that such will bo tho CURO.- Columbia Record, No vember 28.
