A BUTLER-TILLMAN COMBINATION SUGGESTED. , viai an Observant Spectator Saw at d Laalna .''s- tthnc Two a,d Two To e gother," ie Foremeems a Itaorganiza it LIOn1 of tite 11ntmlar, Eieanea,.' S E i'ILD, 8. C., Sept. 9.--Echoes of d the iiati; sprinigs barbacute last Fri (lay are reverberat ing t hroughont th is section, and those who watched things g carefully believe that an important po 0 litical deal has been made, anyway, LO what politics there was in it is being - quietly discussed by those who were present. It will be remembered that among the (list inguished guests present I were Governor Tillman, Senator Butler 0 and Congressman 'Tillman. This in it 11 self is not especially significant unless e the fact is considered that Congressman g Tillman andSenator BIutler were always together, holding little private conver r. sations with each other. Is A gentleman who noticed all these ,r little things put them together and d drew somo conclusions and he unbur c daned hinself to a W orld correspondent. H lie thought these continual private con y tabi looked a little suspicious, because the Butlers and 'Tillmans have not al 10 ways been so friendly. They have never been enemies, but Congressman 'n Tillman and Senator Butler were never seen aticking together like brothers be it fore. r- "After all this hobnobbing," the 9, gentleman with one eye to politics con tinued, "did you notice tlat every time ' General Capers referred to the heroic ,r valor of Lieutenant James Tillman in s- the late war, how Senaior lutler would ,r applat-d and pound the floor with his ic caue like he meant to punch a hole 1- through it?" "Now what do you thinik," the gentle man went on, "utf Governor Tilman r- caIling Senator Blutler away from the b- pavilhon, going to a caurriage and re I- maining there in close and conf.dential - conversatlon for soue time? Their man le ner of talking andl tihe expression of their faces 1did not lead one to believe .d that they w-re talking vit her about the i- rain or the tcrop conditions, or what cott on would bring fall. te "ISeveral years age Senator 11ith-r, in l- at speech in the upper part of the State r asked very derisively: 'Who Is this man Ien 'T"illmian ?' Last year at the Lees V ville Colnilielceieit., too, he had a 10 great deal to say about the Shell nani 'e festo and t.ht debauching anI bambooz 1s ling business. Taking these things in lr to consideration, does it not also seem i curious that these two Should be hob nobbiiig in that carriage ?" Ig "1eing asked what it all meant, the 4 gentleman replied that in his opinlion kd the governor and the Senator were mak ing a kind of combination whereby the e governor will not contest for the sena t torsh ip, and 1he senator on his mart will strive to get the former antl-'illinan ites, now I1a,kellites, to support 'Til )Y man, and with this combination they 0 think they cmn. heat the sub-treastiry e scheme. "I expect that Governor 'Tillnan hai - found that Talbert and Stokes were abotit to down him on the stib-treasury, re and that lie was forced to patch up a 1. treaty of peace with the ring lie e- smashed, and it di(n't look as if Senator Butler would be averse to being in on the 'ground floor' wlhen the pipe of peace was smoked. "1k-sides all this," the gentleman re sci markedl further, "a relat ive of Congress man Tillmatn and the governor told ine 'the TJillmans and Ih utler are now all al right.' mn "Ilave you nmot nioticed that The State, h in ('oltmbiai, has kinder let up on Tlill s- mnan, atnd in fact has not said anything eatbout himii for somneti me, andc that it has been giving Tialfuert and Stokes more attention than Tillman ?

Vil liatm McKiilev, ,Jr., the litepublicais have squarely endorsed the tariff law, of which lie is author, and thus they have made the great issie before the people-that of tariff reform. We glad ly take in the gage of war. Wit,h the chief apostle of protectton as the stand ard-bearer of their party, Ohio becomes this year the great national battle ground upon which is to be fought the fiercest preliminary struggle of 1892. With such viti interests at stake, with so much that is dear to the people de pending upon the result, we expect, the sympathy and encouragement of the Democrats of every State in the Union. It is our desire, and the wish of Govern or Campbell and the other candidates on th- State ticket, to hold the great rally of the campaign on Tuesday, Oc tober (tth, to be known as "The Govern ors' Aleeting," and addressed by the Denocratic governors of every State. It will be held in the capitol building, and will be the greatest political meet 1ng ever gathered on the soil of Ohio. We earnestly and cordially invite you to give greeting to our people and to tell theim how their cause is being l) held throughout our common country. We shall expect you and welcome you with open arms. Will you c-me? Every attention will be given your comfort and convenience. You'will not be (Iuartered at a hotel. but eut 'r taned at the homes of the hospitaIe citizens of Columbus. A waiting an early reply, we remain most sincerely, .1 A Ei:". N 1.:.k., S. C.

Neal, Columbus, Ohio: MY J).AR Sin-Your letter of Sep. tmber 3d, inviting me to attend a "grand )emocratic rally" on the 6th of October, at the capital of Ohio is re ceived. I realize fully the importance of the contest being waged between ")emocracy" and Iepublicanism in your State this year, and would gladly lend any aid in my power to secure the re-election of Governor Campbell. If he is victorious-and God grant lie may be--he will be the next President of the I'nited States. The Soutih In general, and South Carolina in p articilar, has grown disgusted with the "ways that are dark and tricks that are vain" of New York's greedy politicians, by which the national "Democrney" ha-i more than once been betrayed, because of cor-rupt bargains in the struggle for supremacy in New York city's umunici pa! election. We long for a candidate who breathes a pure political atmos phere, and will rejoice it' Ohio shall fur nish the man. I regret, my olicial dit ties will not permit me to be with you on the (by mentioned, in person, but 1 wvill be there in spirit, and bid you Goth speed in your glorious light.
