S UPPLEMENT TO THE Manning Times t OF G&. B.R. TILMAN An Able and Elaborate State Paper, in which His Politi cal Policy is Outlined. Every Department of the Gov ertment Comes Under the Eye of the New Governor, and He Speaks His Mind Freely and Unequivocally of Each. COLUMBIA, Iee. 4.-The irwtmur1! ceremonies pa-ssed off plcas.antly. thc weather being perfect. About three V thousand people were presen t. Governor Till man was sworn in by Chief J usti'e a Simpson. There was a good deal of en thusiasmn and the address was frequently I t interrupted by applause. The address is as follows: a ";entlemen of the General Assembly: il It is seldom in the history of politics that I a man is so honored as I am. It is cus, tcmasry to perform the ceremony of iz.iu- & guration in public, and only once before that I am aware has it been necessary i n" South Carolina to hold it in the open air in order to let the people see. t the large number of my fellow citizens.- who have done me the honor to come as wit- i nesses of this impressive ceremonial, I -: can only say in sitiple words, i thank ii vou. To the people ' owe my emection h after a most memoiable canvass. To the people, only I owe allegi- 1 ance, and to the people I pledge loyal ser- t vice. Thislis-o mere holiday occasron. The citizens of this great corn:non wealth have for the first'time in its history de manded and obtain&d for themselves the a right to cboose-their governor; and I. as Ii the exponent and leader of the tevolu- . tion which brought about thechange, am : here to take the solemn oath of olliceand enter upon the discharge of its ouerout.: duties. Before doing this i4 is proper- a and usage makes it obligatory on imc-to I make known my views and opintions on the important questions agitatin.g the I publie mind and to show where and llw reforms are needed and can be wrought. I CON ITIONS, '0T THEORIES. "1Vith such an audience as this. sympa thetie, aMi enthusiastic, I mghth,. if I r were -an orator 'aUept to play upont your feeliugs and win applause by uiights I of what some caI eloquence; but which sensible people consider as -glittering eneralities" .be tinsel and brass buttons of a dress parade. meaning nothing and worth nothing.- The responsibillities of I my position, tha reliance of the people upon my leadership, the. shortness of our legislatives'ession, one-fourth of which S is already gone, alike demand the display I of practical tatesmanship and .business methods. We are mnet to do the business of the people ; not to evolve- Ueautiful theoriesor discuss Ideal governmnt. We! come as R-eformers claimiung thIat many things in tde govern ment are wrong and that there is rootnJ~r rgrenchiment and i reduction of taxes. Our task is to givet the people better government and more efenet govern ment as cheaply as is pos sible. W'e tnust however never lose sight of the fact that niggardliness is not al ways economy. The people .will pay even more taxes than at present if they know I tiose taxes are wisely expended and for 4 their benelit. TH E -vICTORY OT THlE PEi4PLE. "Before I proceed to disensa, in plain straihtforw4ard fashioni the legi.latiom I shal ak you tb-consider, I desire to eon ratulate you upon the signal victory ae hieved by the people at the recent elee tion.

Our colored feliow-citizens absolutely refused to be led to the poll by their bosses. The opportunity of hav-I irig their votes freely cast. 'hones tly comted which has been claimed is denied the negroes caused scarcely a ripple (41 excitemeint amonlg them. They qmet''y pursued their avocations and left the con dut of the election to the whites. M.any. who voted cast their ballots for the regu lr Denmocratie tieket and theconsequence is that to-day there is less race prejudice and race feeling between the white men and black men of South C'arolidathian has existed at any time since 154.
