speak. In opening his remarks, ho said:
If I didn't tell you it was Tillman, I am
euro tnat many of you, judging from what I
you have read, would say I wasn't the mall.
This campaign is the titosi important in this
State since IKT'i, and, in some respects,
more important than that. 1 want to talk
to you calmly, ami without passion, i want
to appeal to your judgment and sense. I
e'. want you to judge my cause not by its bear'
lings on nic, hut by its hearings on the State. '
J I congratulate you that this is the first
,/ lime you ever saw the candidates for oflicc
before nominations. Heretofore you have
swallowed the nominees in November, but
now you have the pleasure of choosing. If
you ask why y>iu left your fields now over
run with grass, if ymi want to know what
it is that stirs your heart, 1 will say you
want s*lf-govevnnieiif. \ on want to chooso
your nwi: rulers, instead of being tied ifown
by those Democratic tthuds about which
you have heard so luueii.
I'apt. Tillman here made an assertion
that we lull never had a llepubiican fonn
of government, and went on to show the
grounds for his charge of aristocracy.
in ilyise good old days the Legislature
lectel all the nlliccrs. You up-country
farmers were not considered good enough to
choose your rulers. That same state of
tilings i? continued now*. Your Jl.oOO white
Itviuoerats aro boiled down to eight, and
they are twice removed from you. Yet they
call ii Democracy. I call it aristocracy.?
Politicians now arc not as honorable as they
were then, for they wore wealthy and wanted
olliccs Ibr honor. Now, they say you must
not rritisi.se these lordly men.
"' b, iboy ery out in abiriu : llush !

thai iiiiiii should ditier as to how thofJovern*
meni should he run. It is the result of
freedom. Wo have some lilt'u freedom, and
that is so sweet we want more. We have
an organized party with all its machinery.
When the majority in that has spoken, let
all Mib-ide and vote for the nominee, whoever
ho may be. 15y this party machinery you
have been throttled and held as slaves. I?eeiuise

this feeling on both sides, but 1 say the
other side is responsible for it. Who has
gone back for three years and scraped up
everything I ever wrote, and twisted my
meaning and garbled my sentences until
they are scarcely rejognizable. It was that
sweet scented AVw iim/ Courier.
Why does it halo mc so? Itecnu.se it is

people. All Ave lack is zeal and a
