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

ratulate you upon the signal victory ae
hieved by the people at the recent elee

note the fact that this was attendedct by
political phenomnenlawiich wa~s a surprise
to all of ns. 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

the negroes caused scarcely a ripple (41

pursued their avocations and left the con

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.
ROOM FOR BOTHI RACES.
"The dismal experiment of unmiverali
negro suifrage inspired by hate and a
cowardly dlesire mor-revenge, the rotten

blazed tip and is still alive, the robbery I

debauchery in our legisilatve halls and inC
our capital-the prostitutioni anid imp4

"W1 the ('itadiel .cademy I shall have
lIttle to say. It is unfortunate in ny
opinion that it was ever re-opened as a
beneliciary nii I itarv school. The monev.
:;,.i, iwhicih has been recently spent in
rebuilding the burntiel wing and in re
pair and eiuipping the wahole buhiiding
couI. in my juidgrent have been 1ar
more profitably ised in erecting an In
duistriai al Nornal School for gir'.
aiit the 30.ii annutial appropriation
which it takes to run the 'itadel would 2
have gone f'ar towards supporting such a
valuable and necessary addition to aim
e<-ucational systemn.
"ihit the rioney has beeni spent. The
buihiin::s are in splendid order. The
sclool is in a flourishing eoiitioni, an.1
it holds a wari phice in the hearts of
itahy of our people as a landinark of
the old regiine. A conservtive regi d
for tile rights and wishes of even a soall
aiinrity ought, to have weight with tlose
who Ivc themiselves so long beeni de
n1iedl What thir wishi. TIere are too few I
lirrhts in Soith Carolina for us to wan
tonly lit out any of thien. and for the
prestit I recominend that the usual ap
rrition be grantei. U'nder the ternis

veryithinug ituwparld at the -Military
Acaiimy and iniich besides. Its idus

irate themselves without discri in illation.
While the Citadel furnishes free ed nea
tien, board, clothes. etc., to a limited
11iniber i under c'nmditions which savor
t(:i of favoritisin. Whether after the

sihools for her sons and not one for her
daughters. will be for the people to dIe- i
cide. At present the C'itadel is doing
better work in proportion to) cost than
the Ili i versity. When. however, the
latter shall le re-ogailized, as p riposed.
and whoin the C'leisoi Coilege slhi ftur
