J . : Tillman and Brice at Tirzah. According to the Vorkvillo New E m. fully 2.BOO people were nt Tirzali Thursday to hear Senators Tillman ami Brice. Long before the hour for the speaking, the surrounding grove wat crowded with people. Every section of York county was represented in this multitude of men, women and children, and the trains brought in quite an additional number from without the county, and fronj North Carolina. The exercises were opened with prayer by Rev, Dr. Stokes, of! lorkville, the Hold Hill brass | band furnishing the music.. Chairman VVilborn then intro- ' duced Senator Brice, who stepped to the front of the plalfoitu appearing just a little nervous and i excited, but soon steadied himself and after a few prefatory remarks, . waded iu in dead earnest. He took , u broad swath in bis rather 1:1111b- 1 ling speech, anil hammered the! dispensary ou nil sides lie scored 1 several points nnd was lihernlly j applauded. He had spoken per- i Imps nn hour when he began rending from a hook on the dispensary I written by a former South Carolina minister. lTp to t li time Senator Rries had received the closest attention, but the crowd gjit restless as he continued to rend page after page, and some one in the audience asked him if he in- | tended to read the entire hook. ; This brought forth laughter and j much cheering, and Mr. Rrice ; elosed. saying that lie would for- j ther discuss the matter in his 20 minute reply to Senator Tillman. I Mr. Tillman urged him to go on ! and finish his speech, adding that ! his 20 minutes would ho entirely consumed with other matters. His speech was mostly a denunciation of the dispensary, and there was such a marked similarity between it and tho pages read from the preacher's book that it lead to the suspicion that Senator Rriee must, have drawn largely from that source for his inspiration. After Senator JBriee concluded Mr. Wilborn announced a recess of three-qiuirtors of an hour when Senator Tillman would sp*ak. Promptly after dinner the crowd reassembled and Senator Tillman ' whs introduced and was greeted by loud and general cheering and calls for "Uncle Ben.'1 Senator Tillman began by eip j plaining why he had come to Tir- j '/ah. It was in response to nn invitation Higned by over 500 voters of York county to come here and de- I fond his notation on the dispensary and reply to personal assaults on himself at the prohibition meeting. He canto he aaid not account of personal assaults I f he attempted to reply to all the little bobtail fellows that had made personal assaults on him he would be run j ning up and down the State all j the time He played a cut nnd mouse gamo with Senator Briee ; and the editor of The Kmjuirer, and purred them gently at lirat. clawing deeper and deeper as he ) gradually wended his way over the serpentine course of Briee's speech. He said his speech would necessarily lie rnmblimr tin Ut'?" I....I j ?- '""h 1 " n ' l??ivi I l?\ erod Ho much ground and had shot out in so many different directions | but lit* promised he would not read any from Br ice's hook,; though he did read several pnvn- ( graphs from The Enquirer which ho replied to with biting sarcasm. He read extracts from a sermon by lie v. Dr. English, printed in The Enquirer in 183'J, showing the ter j'ihlt* condition that existed in Yorkville at that time when the town had prohibition. He denounced the legislature for tampering with the original dispense- I ry law, which had resulted in the present state of affairs, and put the dispensary in the hands of thieves. Tin? idea of placing three little bobtail fellows at 3' 100 salaries in c mtrol of a several million dollar business. Tho governor 1 had it in his power to put them out and if Gov. Heywanl would take such action he would add 1 greatly to his popularity. J-trice had said he would do nothing to aid in purifying the dispensary. He should h * asked to i resign aiuj someone put iu his K) place who would help in purifyithe government. lirioe hud it tacked his religion; hud accused him of blaspheming the bible. He hud no recollection of having held a private conference on religious mutters with Hriee; had not questioned Briee's religion, lie himself was nothing but a common old honest sinner, without liyprocriticul professions.

Briee must be better acquainted with the devil than he as ho wouldn't know him if lie met him in the road. He denounced the minister of the gospel who had advised Mr. Starr to refuse u position on the county board, desiring that the dispensary should fall into the hands of disreputable penpie and thus lead to its debauchery and removal. He was opposed to voting out the dispensary by counties. Ho wanted a general primary and everybody given an opportunity to vote. He advised them to vote as they pleased, but declared that the matter would have to he settled next year in the general election. The crowd was undoubtedly a Tillman crowd and he was vociferously cheered throughout his speech. Senator Briee at the clone of Mr. Tillman's speech took advantage of his 20 minutes for reply, but the crowd had grown tired ami began to break up befo?e he got through. W?l- ? Editorial Briefs.
