Ills Speech Accepting the l4omination for Congress-A Trap for Southorn Farmers --About "Our 11rethren of tio west Handling Mactune Without Gloves. AUOUSTA. Ga., Sept 25.-The follo w ing is George D. Tillman's speech be fore the nominating conventTn at Aiken Friday as reported in the Au gusta Chronicle: Mr. Chairman, gentlemen ofjhe Con ventionnndFellow-Citizons:--'or the eighth time in succession have I had the protid gratification to receive the 11omination of the people of this dis trict for Congress. To say that I am grateful and proud of it would be to tell the simple truth. To be chosen so 'often as r-,resentative from this his torical c. aty, to seri e longer than any other co' .ressman in this State, a dis frict one represented by Calhoun and his distinguished successors, says a great deal either for me or for the peo ple of ti "m district, or for both. I a in not vain ough to take this display of regard as evidence of any ability in me, but because you have faith in me. Ye Alow that I will serve you to the best of my ability, and under no cir eumstances betray your trust. What adds to this gratiflcation is that I have been chosen during most trying times. We have just come out of a war. We have been plundered ever since we were conquere(. but all con quered p2ple must,sitffer. Unfortu nately wo ave an unfortunate race in our midst, -whom our enemies have Sought to raise to our standard, or rather level, us to theirs. I am sorry to say you ar.(! a conquered peoplg, and your enemies are trying to see how far negroes can be made into whiter men, how iar a people can be taxed and pay tribute to the conqueror and survive. The harder the agricultural class works, the more self denial they prac tice, tie poorer they get. The reason of itis the higher taxes you must pay to go out in pensions. ligh taxes don't Impoverish a people provided they are spent among the people who pay them, but when they are paid out to another peo pe the one who receives grows riche r. as Ireland is impov erished to enrich England you are being imiproverished to enrich the North, but the taxes they pay they get back in appropriations and pensions. You pay between forty and fifty mil lions a year taxes simply because you were on the wrong side. Your chil dren must continue to pay these taxes and your grand children. Neither the sub-treasn ry-nor any other device can stop it. There is too much taxationl an( toolittle money in circulation to meet the taxes. You ought to do all you can to have an income tax to the rich men of the North. The last owns thr West and South. They own all the rail roads. There aro 34 char tered roads in South Carolina and the citizens of the Stato do not own a ma jority of tihe stock. in any and the tracks all go one way. By the time you meet the interest on your debts and pay your taxes and fixed charges there is not enough money left to bring fair prices on yonr producUs. You want an income tax, and you wa"nt to abolish the tax on whiskey and tobacco. I (10 not mean to have free whiskey andl tobacco, (1 see one friend shiflice his headl over there) but to get rh(i of the horde of official vermin who go aroundl andl smell your bottles and nose around your tobacco and whb as much as say, help yourself, It you dare. Let the State and tihe counties andl cities get the benefit of the whiskey andi tobacco tax. I am sorry I can not go into a long speech on the sub-treasury andl give y ou something better than that bill1. You ought to issue more money. If you do niot t.he North will own you body and soul. TPhey own the Wecst too. but the WVest is more bit ter against tihe South thanl It Nortih is. Tihey put a tax on Southern cotton seed oil so that it will be fit for nothing but ma nure. Where were your Western sub .treasury friends when Congress taxed your cotton seed oil; when it added :300 per cent.on your cotton ties; when that infamous force bill was passed, and when the WVest refused to vote for free silver. It is sickening to see the South tn]k about forming a political alliance with the WVest. It is not worth while to go into details about the sub-treasury. (Cries of go on; tell us all about It.) Well, I will tell you about it. Mr. Tillnmn then recited the pro visions of the bill. Continuing ho said: It is paternalism anti protection run mad, it is a proposition to let the gov ernment take care of your crop and( after a while tell you bow to run IL. Hampton andl Colleton wouldl not get a ware house. A Voice--But does not the hill pro. .vide that two or three countties tma.y combine and get a ware house ? Mr. Trillinanm-- Yes, but it stipuilates that you Imust carry y'our produce to the nearest ware houser. McCurie is the originator~ of that bill. Hie is a reformedi Republican, who fail at dentistry in Indiana. floated about California for a whilie, anti linally wenlt. down to Texas, where ho mainipulb-~d Alliance money. Is there any justice in taxing other industries to build warehouse for the products of the farmers. The Alliance professes equal justice to all and special favors to none. If that aint special favor what is it? *' Two Republicans framed that bill. There Is no Democracy in It. It is a bridge to carry the Democratic party over, horse, foot andi dragoon, Lu the Republican party. it provides for the election of warehouise muanagers. but. the constitution Bays federal oflicera must be appointed and not elected, anid yon know whom the Republicans will a ppoint, it says there shall be an elec tion to decide..whore the warehouses shall-be built. It will be at federal elec tion, not a State election. T'he negroes would v'ote, and whites would divitle Wold not that be a nice state of -affairs? Then there would be lots of stealing and embezzling; cotton would disal.pear, and therv wmtilt be litiga tion. Soi of you might take a liti.le too mnuch whiskey and got into lights; you would be onl Vederal ground. All would have to be tried in the United Statt)4 court. You could not bring them into your own courts. There Is no more chance for that bill to pass than there is to pass a bill to build a tower to the moon. There were only two congressmen who were avowed supporters of the sub-treasury bill. They had their pa pers as law ers annulled, but the Alli aice thought they were too enthusias tic, and (lid not nominate them for imother term. The most stuipid thing to me in tUe whole bill is that 80 per cent. advanced m products in the early part of the ycar and at the latter end of the ye.r he ioney is burned. What you need s more money, all the Lime to keep prices up and keep them steady. The bill was gotten i) by a com iittee of three--a dreamer, a spectila ;or and a scurvy politician-who want 3d to provide a popular scheimo for )roken down politicians. Senator Vanco introduced it into the Senate by request. He was silent about it for 'our months, anl at the end of which .imne he demotnced it. In the mean ino though the Alliavece papers and ,ranmp orators.rled it aload that Sena .or Vance endorsed it, and what Sena ,or Vance endorses is right. Mr. HIemphill has whipped it out in his listrict. In Georgia all the strong politicians went back in spite of it. Iwo of them did not seek another terim. Miajor Barnes was not defeated mi account of it, but onl account of the prejudico of country against the city. L s-ek to protect the Alliance, to keel) politicians from prostituting it. Stand ,y the Alliance and vote for Alliance-. nen and measures, but not as a secret .od.y. It is time I should close. though I ave not said one-tenth part that could Le said against this preposterous hutm bug. If the West is being robbed by the East they will comie to us. At the No. veimber elections we will see whether the West Is inclined to unite with ui. Don't H'i In too great a hurry. We were in a liirry in '650, but% we have beenl repenting it ever since. Wait and ee if the West will come to us. Put an income tax on the wealth of the East. There are four reasons why iT iavo no use for the sub-treasury bili F is a crude, i mpracticable, lepublican, Iiconstitutional measure. Livingstone, Polk, McCune and two >r three others were pit upon the leg slative committee at the St. Louis neeting to su;ggest the outline of the neasure, but McCuno and- Waddill irafted it. The live cents you send up ,hero will go. They must pretend to be doing something to earn those big salaries they are getting. Tr. Thomas Whittle, in the audience, r>bjected to Mr. Tillman's attacks on MCCune A i. He said he was going to vote for him, but he did not think it fair to run those men dwi. Mr, Tilhiani--I admire your pluck. Mr. Whittle-I admire yours. Mr. Tillman-Thien it Is im itual ai miration. l r. 'l'illmin continued his di.cission :>f thl sub-treasury. Distillets he sai d furnished their own warehouses, the governmeit fiurished the watchmen nd the guagers only. Mr. Whittle thought the farmers ihould have the same advantages. Mr. Tillmau-Can two wrongs make i right? Mr. Whitthe-Then remedy that. Mr. Tillman-That's what I've eeh trying to do., A LITTLE EXCITEMENT. At this jumicture there was a little LXcitement created. Captain Nlarkert arose to ask Mr. Tillman to0 explain how the Federal oficeers wouldl handle the farmers' cotton and jokingly re marked about Mr. Whittle's i nterrup ions. Mr. Whittle took offence and saidt that lie was a native born South Care linlaai and Captain Markert was not. Mir. Ale.x White, who knew Captain Markert's war record to lie as goodl as that of any native born South Caroli.. in andl better thamn even somne of the St ate's own sonis retorted that Captain Mlarkert had heard the wiristle of morer bullets around him than (lid Mr, Whit Le. ['he lati er resen ted the re,mark 'nd thorn 'wais considierablui con fusion for a few n-inutes, biut qiiet soonl was restoredh and Mhr. Tilhnan concluded hIs speech. The great, just Goodh, nec said, is teim peiri: thec w indl to t he shorn lainb. 'h'h proeU i on of cot ton1 is not keep. in ii race with its m.iaufacture. The South raised fine provision crop last year and a few more will bring the West to its knees. It will have to burni coi n for fuel again and it, will hbe a drug on the market, b)ringing no price.

WAf311INGTON, Sept. 2 m.ul x rittes after the Republicans In tho IIouse voted to seat Langston thoy turned out Col . Wm1. ElNliott an"d gavn his plac,e to Tom Miller. The haste Ii disposl r.iml of the South Carolina contest was as bru tal as it was unprecedentil. It was after 1 o'clock to-day before enough Ue publicans put in an appoarance to m ake uip a quorum. The Doiocrat,s remained out of the hall and consequent.l,' there was no o to demand a roll-vall but Mr. O'Ferrall, aud his request had no vail with 10ri hot-headed partisans. As soorn as the preseuce or a qIuorim va announced Langston was voted in by a viva voce vote. The greatest confusion prevalled in the meantime, as tho galleries wero crowded with nezrovs enthiusiastic for Langstori. 'I'ie Itepublic-an rmemhers were equally n\ild and uncontrollable and the yelling and stamping of feet was territic when Speaker Rect(d declar ed Langston entit led to a seat as IlLe presentative from tho thi Virginiaj district. Amid shouts and applause Iangston was sworn in. The Ieptublicans thei shouted wildly to the conoittco on elections to call up the next case, whic was the Miller-Elliott contest. 'heIre was no debate and the reading,- of the Committee resolutions was eve i omllit ted, so despvrate was the inajority and so eager were they for 1)moratic seal ps. Mr. O'Ferrall and several Republi cans protested against such suumary proccedings, but Speaker Reed ieedel them not, ana without. ermitting a di vision declared 'Tom Millor a liepre sentativ(e of the 71 h Con gresio-;al dis trict of South Carolinul, vif( El liott. 'he following is the details of the proceeding by which Congressmen Venable and Elliott were robbed of their seats : Mr. O'Ferrall was the only Democrat in the chaner thi.3 morning dutrin! the delivery of the prayer. The cieril immediately hegan the call of the roll on the approval of Friday's 'JoIrnal. The clerk having called the roll. an noincod the pairs and rec.:tpitulated the list of those voltig. The Speaker hesit ated before ht : nounced the result, there being but twk) laching of a qil'rul. Mr. 0'Ferrall demanicld that the Ir suit be announ d.
