I llli STATE CAMPAIGN.
[CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE.)
in the coal mines of Nova Scotia, You
say Congress has done nothing, it has
done a most damnable piece of villiany
in demonetizing silver that lias ever
been perpotrated in this country. If
t'loveland is honest. why did he not
say. " t'onto here and enact tarill reterm."
hut instead of that he calls
them together to strike silver down
and demonetize it in accoidance with
his contract with Wall Street. He
wants to join hands with John Sherman
and the Kepublioan party and demonetize
silver. Then he wrote another
letter urging the formation of
1 KtltllWMMI t W? li>ltt)'11<i ollllw ' '?>
ward in a solid phalanx and defeat our
eomiuon enemies.
They talk ulxmt silver; Lhoy say
that's a dishonest dollar, and the roason
they say it is heeause it has silver
in it not worth a dollar. Silver is not
money. gold is not money. greenbacks
are not money: they only perform
their function from the stamp of the
government, and when they stamp it
it is a dollar. When John Sherman
sneaked his hill through, silver was
worth 103, but now it is worth only
11 fly cents, and after all this conspiracy
they have the face to stand up and tell
the people " that's a dishonest dollar."
That's detrimental to everybody in the
country. This conspiracy came about
in I SOS, when Kngland had the bonds
of the world, and she demonetized silver
and has boon scheming ever since
to make other nations follow suit.
Why, she collects live hundred thousand
pounds sterling every year in interest.
and she buys two pounds of cotton
and two bushels of wheat, twice as
much as she consumes, and which she
would get if the money of the country
was on a parity. Well, tifty cents will
buy eight pounds of cotton. As a dollar
it will nuy lb. The man who owns
tic dollar and makes gold the standard
gets the profit. By demonetizing silver
they have brought people to starvation
in some places.
While these Kepublieans have got
rich they have manipulated the Western
people bv saying, " Vote as you
shot," and all the while they had their
hands in those fellows' pockets robbing
them. But they have brought them
to such a pass that they have jumped
out of the frying pan into the lire, they
have gone into the Populist party.
They have lost faith in the Democratic
party, and, toll you the (iod's truth. 1
nave lost null) in it ami I think you
have. Hat mind you, while we have
lost faith in the leaders?they say the
Democratic platform is good enough to
be elected on, but not good enough to
stand on after you are elected. They
want tin; women to vote. What in the
name of < iod do wo want the women to
vote for when she bosses us already '
JOvery well-regulated house in (Ireenville
and elsewhere is I tossed by a woman.
Now lot her look after that and
us men have a little freedom when we
get outside, especially in politics. Hut
I did not make it clear to you who gets
that prolit. We will never get the relief
we seek and for which we fought
until we restore silver to its place 011
the ratio of sixteen to one. Until we
place silver and gold where they have
been since the days of Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob until IHdl. (A voice: ''Will
you stand right there?") 1 will die
right there, and wili haven pitchfork
in my hand and stick it into any one
who stands in the'way.
By the system of the National banks
the bond-holders deposit' their bonds
and get ninety percent, of the amount
then they lend you the money and
make another interest. All the other
indebtedness we have is based on metal.
The government bought silver and issued
silver-certificates with the understanding
that it was rodeuinahlo in
gold. There are lot) millions in bricks
in the treasury to-day while you are
all starving for money. 1 have the supreme
Court behind me. They issued
sixteen hundred millionsof greenbacks
during the war, there are four hundred
and sixty millions outstanding, and

You old Confederate soldiers know that
when the Confederacy was nearly out
it took two hundred dollars of money
to buy a pair of shoes. Why was that ?
Because the people had lost faith in it,
and before the Confederacy went down
that money did not purchase anything
at reasonable prices because the money
was too plentiful. Now, as money is
scarce prices go down, as money is
plentiful prices go up. Now, we must
have more money. It's a ground-hog
case. Congress has boon trying their
best to give us the host they could.
Cleveland has just bought them out.
Here is Carlisle, for iustance, he has
been a consistent silver man over since
he entered public life. In one of his
speeches a few years ago ho said the
demonetization of silver would do more
harm than war, pestilcncoon anything
else, and yet he sold out to Cleveland,
and here is Voorhees, who, when Cleveland
vetoed the silver bill, put his
linger in his mouth and said: "Oh
Grovcr ! </rover, you have betrayed our
trust." Are we going to got it? Well,
it will take eigthtoon Senators and I hi
Congressmen and a President. Now,
that's a pretty hard job, ultout as hard
as getting rid of the ring. Wo have
got to appeal to our Western brethren,
go to them with clean hands, go to
them with practical, sensible suggestions.
(A voico : " Yes, you done went
now.") Well, I wont out West and made

to go out thbrc, And I would if I
did not have to run tin Dispensary and
the governirio-.t.
We have got to issue money enough
to do the business of the country. Some
members o fthe Alliance arc quarrelling
with me about that old sub-treasury
business. " We want Tillman to gel
up on the platform with all four feet."
Well, 1 can't endorse the sub-treasury,
If wo bring our platform down to be
plain so that everybody in this country
can stand on it except the gold bugs,
we will whl]) 'em sure as thero Is a God
in heaven. I will not lead a fight to gt
before the Western people and say
"Wo must take the subtrersury 01
nothing." Wo must not quarrel about
the distribution of the money until wc
get the money. Why, do you quarre
about how you are going to cook the
rabbit until you catch the rabbit? J
kept the Alliance out of politics in 18SX)
We are now in possession of the ma
chine and carrying it with us when wc
go. Look at the Alliance in the othei
Southern States. They followed Ton
Watson into the woods in Georgia, ant
where are they ? And where are they
in Alabama? If you will just hole
those fellows down and don't let then
pass resolutions al>out not sending met
to the convention who do not stand or
i.iiu wcaiu piutiorrn, wc win no al
right. Wc arc all Democrats; w<
sucked it iu with our mother's milk. J
am willing to change the nutno, bui
not the principles. I am willing t<
join the West, f think it's mighty
near time to pack our baggage am
walk into the red sea.
Well, the Dispensary is open to-day.
I shut 'em awhile liecauso I wanted ari.v
of you who got drunk to-day to do it on
bad liquor instead of dispensary. Why
j*r wmt*
f diil 1 open the Dispensary? Simply be I
cause tlie Supremo Court has adjourned <
without deeiditig on tho Act of 1 B1Kt. I <
took tho Act of ami put it under my
j coat and hid out with it. I used my
Avits and Buchanan used his. All tho
lawyers in tho State and all tho bur'
keepers did their best to }jot that law.
but one little farmers and ono little
lawyer kept \>iu out of it. They killed
tin- whole tree and then took a little
sprig and stnek it out here and said :
I "What's prohibition." Well, God
knows the people are tired of prohibition.
Tue tigers are on all sides, not 1
blind but with four eyes.
Well, finding that thoy adjourned

about a hundred thousand dollars worth
of liquor I thought it proper to open

I that when the newspapers say that I i
i have got .ludgo (Jury to decide my way i
because it is my will they arc liars, i
i He was Lieutenant Governor when the i
' law was passed and 1 have talked with (
him about its constitutionality and I
' know what his opinion is. anu there
; fore I know what the decision will be.
'I'llis Dispensary law is a temperance i
law. The Legislature was about to (
i pass prohibition. Some of us who did <
not. hellovo that it was practical got
i them to pass this law instead. They ]
had in that law that when you wanted j
liquor you must say you wanted it for i
medicinal, manufacturing or sacra men- j
, tal purposes. They just intended to
i make you a liar. Well they say you i
; must buy now from the Dispensary and i
put your n: ine there. That don't in i
I ierfere witu the buyer but with the
seller. It was done to protect the
buyer. Some poople say : " Your i
whiskey is too high." Of eourse you '
fellows that can go up the branch and
get a gallon of whiskey for seventy-live i
cents, think you can't pay two dollars
and three dollars for it. Well, we put
: the price up to benefit you. If you can
j go and take a dollar and gist a gallon
j you will just lay drunk four, live or
| six days, whereas if you get only a
I quart, you get drunk tonight and you
i can go to work tomorrow. Now, this
evening you go to 11 ill and say, " I lore,
I want a gallon of whiskey," and you
| have a high old time going home, this
evening. Where does the money go?
I'Mfty cents goes to Traxler to pay for
j the liquor, one quarter goes to the 1
j county and one quarter to the city of
m .reonvllle. U nder l-lic old system the
' city of Greenville got all. After the i
expenses are paid yon fellows got the
benefit of the balance in reduced taxes
next fall. If you fellows don't like
liquor just keep away from the Dispensary
and the blind tiger, too. I want
you fellows from Glassy Mountain to
get together and make all the liquor
you can and bring it here in a quantity
and I will buy it from you. And after
awhile, if I can get any constables who
arc brave enough to go into Glassy
Mountain, 1 am going there and see
after you. What I want you to do is
to put the moral force of this county
against breaking the Dispensary law.
You see it is for the good of the country.
Put yourselves behind the law
and enforce it. (The Governor here
took a hand primary on the law, asking
all who wanted it to hold up their
hands, and nearly every hand in sight
went up.) All in favor of prohibition
hold up. (Up went three or four
hands.)
I am very glad to lind that the people
of Greenville are just sis Immovable
in their adherence to Kefonn principles
as over. I am very glad to lind
that you are still adherents of lien
Tillman, and I here and now, as in the
; past, pledge you, so help mo God, a
i continuance of the same, wherever
you may put mo.
(Jen. 1 hitler faced a great audience
and made a strong, well knit speech,
lie had a great deal to say about financial
legislation and said his remedy
for existing troubles was the roinoneti/ation
of silver, lie entered into a
clear and elaborate explanation of the
money and tariff issues and explained
his attitude and voting thereon. The
tariff bill was tho best bill over passed
ami when it docs conic tho S<Aith will
bo in bettor shape to accept it'than
any other section. When prosperity
begins cotton factories will come
tumbling into the South.
The General related in an eloquent
feeling manner his struggles in South
Carolina's behalf, and how he had never
been able to learn how to steal or
become dishonest.
Hugh Harton, an Allianceman. asked
Gen. Sutler if he had worked as i
hard for the Alliance petition for
money as he had for the Louisiana sugar
men on the tarilT bill.
Gen. Hutlor replied that he had done
so.
Barton: " Why did you tell Tom
Watson that we had as much money as
we over did ?"
' I did not toll him so." replied tho
Senator.
He went on to say the trouble was
not so much one of the money outstanding
as how it was circulated and distributed.
It was claimed that there is
24 per capita outstanding, but he did
> not think there was over $2 apiece in
this State, lie attributed this to the
faulty financial system. Said his ef>
forts had always been for more money.
(ion. liutlor related liovv ho hud helpC(1
to kooj) tho Republican grip off the
State while tho people were asleep.
While discussing the Charleston jetties
some one cried, "Charleston don t
belong to this State." The General
; took nj? this remark and said whatever
did Oharleston any good must help
the rest of the State.
(Jen. Butler's speech was pitched on
a high plane, dealing with issues
which lie discussed in a practical way.
After the Senatorial speeches wore
ended a great many of the crowd left,
in fact a large number left after Tillman
spoke.
Dr. i'ope was the first candidate for
Governor to come forward. He did not
speak long, hut charged John Gary
with being nmhiteus and dramatically
rcpoatod (.ordinal Wolsoy's soliloquy
beginning "Cromwell, I charge thee
throw away ambition."
t Gen. Kllorbe was not fooling well
i ftud spoke very b- ielly and was listened
1 to without interruption,
s I lie was followed by Mr. Tindal, who
I ; made a calm, dispassionate speech,
. I urging the Reformers tostiek together.
] He also argued the necessity of a prlj
mary to prevent discord among the lieformers.
Discord meant disunion and
i disunion meant death.

The correspondent of tlio News and
Hi
Courier furnishes t ho following to count al
us to t lie private quarrel between Sena- r
lor Butler and (Jovernor Tillman on
the train between Union and Spartanburg
last week : l,j
At the .stand in Union there were di
stormy times, and (Jen. Sutler attacked
tlio.se he thought wore howling him tl
down as a lot of blackguards. In the if
afternoon several pistols were drawn tl
ami there was talk uhout killing. No
shots were llred. Later (Jen. I hitler ki
denounced Mobloy for trying to howl lo
him down, and afterwards it is said hi
Mobloy made some remark about (Jen. at
Hut.ler, which Postmaster Harris took pi
up and eatno near ending in a row. er
I 'n 1 ('agliman and a countryman had a in
{uarrelsome tilt, and so it went. (Jen. ('?
Ihitleron both oeeasions acted as the wj
peacemaker, ('al ('aughman was not ly
allowed lo speak from the hotel veran- aj
la and (Jen. Ihitler and (Jovernor 'J'ill- qi
man had a hitter debate. pi
When the Senatorial candidates left Hi
Lite stand they were both in a bad hu- to
inor. (Jen. Ihitler dined at the railway at
station house and (Jovernor Tillman
Willi to .) edge Townsend's. (Jen. Hut- pi
lor announced that he intended to see in
(Jovernor Tillman about the matter, in
They did not meet again until after (Ji
the train for Spartanburg bad started, ea
(Jovernor Tillman had gone into the pi
Pullman and was sitting with Mr. th
Stanynrne Wilson. (Jen. Ihitler took n<
his seat in the first-class coach, and la
soon after the train started began to ei
look for (Jovernor Tillman. The news- la
paper men had an idea of what was up oj
and were all close behind him. Aftei M
them came (Jen. Kichbourg, Mr. Kller- g<
be. Col. John Carey Watts, Mr. Veldell e\
and Cal Cauirhiiiiin and (Jen.
brother. That was the first contingent.
After going through tho regular
train the party went into the I'oilman. ( j
There en the front seat .-at Governor |
Tillman ami Mr. Wilson in a eonvor- i
sation. (Jen. Ihitler addressed Governor
Tillman and asked him whether he
did not know tho article about the dis- ^j,
pensary had been prematurely publish- (
oil in The News and Courier through ,
aeeident. Governor Tillman remained J(^
seated and replied that he "under- i
stood " from Kohn something about the ^
matter. (Jon. Ihitler insisted if bo did "(
not know it was an aeeident. Governor
Tillman replied that bad he boon in <>()
(Jen. I hi tier's place lie would have
made a personal explanation as he (lf
came up on the train with him from (j
Columbia. lie bad no right, he said.
to look to Kohn, the correspondent,
for any explanation. ,j
(Jen. Ihitler still insisted and called ^
for a more specific statement. They ' p
split words for a minute. Gen. Ihitler
called upon the correspondent, to ex- (j
plain what ho had told Governor Tillman
about the matter. The News and '(V
Courier correspondent said that Gov- sj(
ernor Tillman bad rung him up on the
telephone and asked hint what the. dis- f
pensary publication meant as it was
not delivered. That he explained that ,.|,
copies had been given out and untiled ()f
and that he hail telegraphed Tho News i
and Courier that tho matter should ;ls
not be published as it was not delivered
at Laurens. This seemed to leave m|
things as uncertain as ever with (Jen. ,
Ihitler and Governor Tillman. Gov- jp
ernor Tillman held that the matter f(M
should have been explained to him by p
(Jen. Ihitler and that The News and wj
Courier was 110 friend of his.

(Jen. Butler: "You know you putWj,
these hoodlums up to howling mo, and !
yon know that you perpetrated a damn sp
fraud and a lie when you did so." ~
Cal Caughman interjected. "Yes,
he is a liar; G?d d?11 him," and with n,
this made a move towards his hip pock- j m
et. He was talkative and was crowded
to one side in the commotion. (H,
Govornor Tillman at this juncture ;i
arose and looked right at Gen. Hutler. i
The two were speechless for a second u,
or two. Governor Tillman said : " Now, !
Gen. Butler, you're old and one-leg- ..
fifed." * J
Gen. Butler: "And you re one- ...
eyed."
Governor Tillman : " That don't
hurt my physical power. You know p,
I'm not afraid of you." .,j
A passenger came up to mo just then |,>
and asked if they had political meet- w
ings in I 'ullman ears in Carolina. a,
Gen. Butler went on : " I don't sup- ! ())
jiuou you are. but you can find meat ,j

Tho following' coinniunication shows
at tie demand for a further and fullconsideration
of tin; convention
iin demanded by many sterling Ko- |
imicrs has been heeded :
To the members of the State- Reform
ceeutive Coinmittoo :
Sentlemen: For reasons hereafter
he assigned I, as ehairman of your
minitlee, issue this call for you to
et in tho Senate Cham hoi* in tho eit\
Columbia, S. C., on Tuesday, tho7t*h
y of August, 1811-1, at 8 o'clock p. in.. !
again take up what is known as the
illctoii plan and make such altera>ns
and amendments thereto, if you
ould deem such proper, as will bring
out uniformity of action among the I
form ulubs and county conventions
roughout the State, and whiehattlie
me time will ho fair and just to each
ndiilate, so tliat after nominations
ali have been made no Reformer;
all be left with a justifiable excuse '
t* complaint. Also, if you see proper, '
eliunge tiie date of meeting for
ibs and county conventions and that
tho State; convention.
The reasons for issuing this call are
folk>ws :
First. It Is demanded by a large
nihor of Reformers, the principal
ason being based upon tiie fact that i
ere will lie under our present rules
r the government of the primary by
ihs no uniformity of action, which
11 lead to general confusion and distisfaetion
and probably the disintretion
of the Reform movement. This
ason seems to ho well founded and is,
ereforo, sullieiontof itself to justify
u call for tbo comm.tl.-o to ho
ought together.
Soei-iiil. Wo are a committee rojire- ;
nting all of tho Reformers, and not a
'iona! part thereof, much less eer-j
in i-iiuwmates. ireing iini.s placed
ion the watchtowor il is made 'our I
ty. not. only to give warning of the'
preaching enemy, but to ward otT j
tlelreunivent his approach, and this
>. have to do jointly, and not as iiuliilual
members.
11 is a foui dulfaot, to contoinplate, hut i
vert lie Ios , a fact, that t he signs of the 1
ues all indicate the approach of the j
cniy, and worst of all. division and
i ifc among the great army of 1 Inform- |
s.
'The reasons why 1 as chairman dole
in a specific way the objects of the
oeting are:
First. IV-enuse the chairman of the
rumit tee will he held responsible to
great measure for whatever may
ow out of the meeting, because w ithit
a call there would bo no meeting,
lis matter having been left entirely
iili me. The responsibility, thorcre,
resting noon mo is very great
id no one feels it more keenly than
ysolf.
Second. Because the Colleton plan
is been discussed for months and the
ople have become familiar with it.

The following eoinnient upon the appointment
is taken from The State:
' The man w hoHueciMuls Col. Mel lee is
Mr. W. I?. Ityder. who has for years
been in charge of the Georgia Pacific
branch of tin- UN 1) system, fififi
miles from Atlanta, (la., to Greenville,
Miss., with headquarters at Itirmingliani.
Mr. Ityder has long been in the
railroad businesH, and is said to bo a
most popular superintendent. The action
of tin1 Southern Company in puttine'
him in charge of the same large
division that Superintendent McHec
had under the lt?v. i) management,
proves that the company has a high
opinion of his executive ability. Superintendent
ityder made quite a reputation
for himself by the manner in
which he dealt with the mine troubles,
on the line of the Georgia Pacific road.
The new superintendent will he cordially
welcomed to South Garolina's cupito'l.
I le is regarded as a worthy successor
of the popular "Ihineh" McHeo.

is a dillleult one to manage successful

"Mr. itydor will find in his now position

one that ia equally well equipped and

1'i-iimi ry.
Hon. W. I). Hvans, President of the
State Paimer's Alliance, sounds a note
of warning to the I Inform Committee
and expresses the opinion that the
August Convention should not he held.
The Columbia Ucgister reports liitit as
follows:
Senator Kvatis was asked what, in
his opinion, would bo the probable result
of the uneasy feeling among lieformers
brought about by the dissatisfaction
that the Colleton idea of having
il I H i HI** j ** vuu ivuiv/i in (Mi it) ^ na
giving. t
Ho said that the dissatisfaction was
widespread and thai the plan did not
suit tho people. " The only way," lit
said, " to satisfy tho people is to have
a general primary, which is one of tho
fundamental principles of Reform and
which was adopted in tho first convon
tion of the party. .lodging from the
result of the Koform club meetings ii
Marlboro County there will not be 10,
[ 000 out of the 00,000 in the State thai
' will participate in tho primary as sug
gested by the Colleton idea This i:
heeauso the people do uotliko the idof
and do not want the plan.
" Tho lioform coinmittucshould eith
or call tho convention oil'or el so ado pi
I such uniform and simple rules as wil
1 give satisfaction to tho people in all tin.
counties.
"Tho reason why tho people are dis
satisfied with the convention plan is
because it is too much like going bach
to the old ring methods that prevailed
i before tho days of Reform, li the Reformers
cannot, elect their candidates in
a general primary they do not deservo
! to win any more than the Conservative!
do if they cannot elect theirs by such
i means."
Senator Kvans said that tho people
were not a party to the Reform nriin1
ary plan. They had nothing to do
with'it. They did not make up tiie
' committee nor could they he bound hy
what tho committee had done. Tho
| candidates had hound themselves, but
it was different as to tho people.
The I.owiston (Me.) .Journal says :

| Samuel MeRowan froiu the Supromo
j Court of South ('arolina closes a jmlicial
career that is in all respects ono
j of the most honorable in the history
of the State. Perhaps no judge has by
his deliverances left a more distinctive
record than that of .Judge Mo-Cowan's
fourteen years' service.
It may be said that.lodge McCowan's
reputation at the bar was chiclly that
i of an advocate?his powers before a
jury btdngof an unusually high order.
. The reputation thus acquired furnished
no grounds for misgivings as to his
, ability to do himself credit in the vory
different sphere of the judge. Indeed,
bis capacity to deal with facts never
. showed better than his statements of
; east s, preliminary to a discussion of the
. law points involved, as they appear in
our reports. In every case these statements
ben'* evidence of the utmost
, pains to arrive at the truth, and to put
. on record the lindings underlying the
I legal conclusions announced.
Nor has .1 ndge Met lowan's labor been
eon lined to this careful 'consideration
, of facts. Kvory opinion of his bears
the marks of a laborious study of the
law points involved, together with a
. ! careful review of t he authorities cited
, ; in their suoport. In the application of
I adjudicated eases to the questions in
. I hand Judge Mctlowan has shown the
I discrimination which is one of the qual,
ities of the'judicial mind. Kvory ono
of liis opinions is a linished legal paper
hearing all the marks of an industry
no less creditable than t he learning of
I | which they give ample proof.
Running through all these papers.
, j whether in the discussion of the facts
or in the application of ascertained
i principles of law, there is the manifesi
tfttion <?f till' our Dose to do iiisl.b'c hr>
I tweon the parties. Indeed, one oriti- !
| eism on Judgo McGowan's opinions !
has boon that they hear too much tho I
marks of an olfort to convince tho |
losing party of tho soundness and j
righteousness of the judgment rondored.
Judgo McGowan's manner on tho
bench was most attractive. (living
tho closest attention to the arguments,
he was at tho same time a model of |
courtesy when necessity arose for coin'
meat or interrogatory.
Hut above all and yet through all
j were the qualities which have endeared
Samuel McGowan to tho people of
South Carolina- hen iy. fairness and
tho purpose to do the right at all
times.
In his retirement Judge McGowan
