The Committeo gave to the pre e the following address to the R e formors of the Stato: n Four years ago, after years - struggle in the arena of reaso a with the forces of wealth and eu e ture and trained logdership coi d bined against us-a combinant< ~f confident, exultant in the pri< 3. and prestige of power long enjoy y -tho Rotormiors of the Stato joi ~s ed issue squarely bofore the poop and at tho ballot box won the ~. fight by an overwhnlmning majo f ty. But the struggle did not 01 ts there. An active, intelligent a: ~, aggressive minority haB hept up t a fight with a tonacity that, in a be 'a tor cause would command the ai f. miration of all men. Eivory1 e sourco known to legislative and j Le dicial obstructionists has been In b under tribute to retard the porf< e mance of the pledges of the rofori ,t ore of the State to the people of t g State, and to defeat the operati dl, of thoe pledges even after enact >r into law. te Notwithstanding this active at d skillful opposition, under the mc .i adriot and astute leadership, 10 have performed every pledge n.na t .to the people in 1890, in so far su< 1j. pledges can be performed uind >f the organic law of the State. V 11 have worked out the reforms s *y promised for the people and mo >f than we promised. WVith a elei >f record behind us, we now star face to face with the future, road ~. and eager to grapple with ne . questions and now issues that aa e make for the upbuildin~ .of the material prosperity of thi entire people in larger degree an n upon broader lines than ever bi u fore d More over, with inil cotrol c every departmrent of the machmner of government, with a constituou cy unified and solidified by su< cessful struggle, we are in pos tion not only to project largE things for the people, but we arei position to perform what we pr< ject, Let us not forget, however the although we hiave rectified many < the wrongs of the pas't and accon: plish the reformes demanded i: 1890, there are still important is sues to be settled. In carrying on the pledges of the past, question of the most vital and far-reachina import have beek raised-quos tions that go to the very founda tions of government by the people Tho iso has been squarely raise< ketween organised espital as4 the organised people, by whose effrage aggregation of oapital became poe, aible.. The creatute ha.grown so powerfnl and arrogant that it has creator-the State. So hot have a the Reformers made this fight that corporate monopoly has been driv b en from their cover and forced to t fight in the open field. Its subtle grip upon the people's throat 1is been loosened and complete Oman - cipation for the people is only a question of timo. It is a proper subject for congratulation that in this mighty strnggle, world-wide in its scopo, 'South Carolina Rofor mers stand well out in the front. It only needs now that we be true to our principles, to our country I and to our people, and the victory is sure. To insuro continued success, a < certain amount of organization is I necessary. In 1890 the necessary r organization was accomplished by 1 a March convention. For various a and sufficient reasons such a con- t vention was deemed inexpedient this year; but after full discucs sion in tno press, the plan of hold ing mass meetings to elect a State Reform campaign committee was adopted. Meetings wore held, com mittemon were appointed, and that committee in its assembled wisdom formulated a plan of suggesting Reform cahdidates for governor and Lieutenant Governor. it meets the reasonable demands of the peo ple to see and hear and question every man who aspires to their their suffrage, and looks to the so. lection of that Reform caudidate who gets the most Reform votes. It provides for an- open field for all who aspire to public preferment and it is a safe plan. 49 We commond this plan to the - favorablo consideration of the Re formor of the Stato. Study it well; carry out its provisions taith s fully and our movement will onter upon an era of broader and higher i, usofulness than in the past. 1- Lot overy Reformer in the Stato r. do his duty and wo will pilo up a r, bigger majority for rulo by the H, people than evor before in our his tory. 3J.

The constables were here for the Spurpose of conferring with Gover nor Tillman beforo roturning to er Darlington to testify m the core , ner'hainquest, which is to be held ri htcity to-mo rrow, A committee of citizens from ~r Darlington arrived here to-day and Shad a conference with the gover nor. In explaining the object and the result of the visit, the governor said; g"They came for a conference with me at my invitation--that is, I asked Mr. Coker to come and the .other gentlemen expressed a desire to do the same. I wanted them to comoD too. Weo have ha4 a full talk over the whole situ.Ltion and as a result I have instructed Generail -Rlehbourg to prepare everything to bring the troop. over hero on r Friday. "The troops from the up-country will go on through while those from the other parts of the State will be ditributed about the Stsute on the G frst outgoing train. I do not care to keep the force there any longer than absoluto nccossary. I havo promised the committee nothing and they have promised me noth. i ng. I have agreed, however, that if these rnwn in Darlington wlfo I have caused all the trot$ble Will * stand their trial I will let the civil law take its course all the way through.

Tillman appears td be no longer .worried over the situation and the people are greatly relieved that their worst fears were not realized and that business has again been resumed. The whole thing has cost the State probably $20,000 and an unknown amount from the paralyzing of all busieess enter prises during the excitement. On Ther Way Moaue. The following is from the Co. umbia Journal of Friday after. icon: At 12 o'clock to day the spe :ial bearing the militia arrived rom Darlington. It was a few ninutes late but long before the rain arrived the union depot vas a mass of people attracted ihere by curiosity as well as a lesire to hear what Governor Villman would have to say. The governor, however, did not irive to the depot but accom. panied by John Gary Evans went to the Plain street crossing of the G. orgia, Carolina & Northern railroad. This soon became known and in a short while the crowd moved over to the crossing. After a long wait the train rolled up and General Richbourg marched the men out. Some time was consumed in getting them in proper shape owing to the crowd present, but being finally drawn up in line, Gover nor Tillman, standing on an em bankment, addressed them. lie baid: "Soldiers, two trains which are to bear four compa. nios to their homes are now waiting and what I shall say will be brief. "I feel it important and neces. sary and indeed due you to re turn the thanks of South Caroli na to you for your valiant servi. ces. Called without a moment's notice, you did not hesitate a g moment to leave your avocations i to respond. There was never the least intention that you F should shoot down your follow citizens, but you were sent there IH to repress disorder, restore the a4 law and prevent mobs from com- tj mitting murder and to see that South Carolina is obeyed and her laws upheld. I know you be anxious to get home and you deserve the benizons and God's a blessing of all lovers of peace "The time has come tor bitter- a ness, anger aid animosity among brethren to ceasIe.
