C., June 18.--Special: Fifteen hundred atteuded the first cam paign meeting here to-day. Probably 1,000 of them were imported Butler boomers and 500 of that number had never before heard of nny such town ;a, Rock Hill. They were brought here like sheep and will be returned to their homes the same way. The remaining five hndred weie farmers of this county and the isurromding couitie.. They were Tilmaulites aid will vote for Tillmann. Butler may get it few of them, ht there is nothing to give him hope in tke aid he expects to receive from the nien of this couity who were present to-day. The Butler boomers began to ctinet, in yesterday on all trahlis and on this morn ing's trains from c olumbia anild Charlotte from 600 to go arrived. They were fi1m0i aearly every coutyi in the Slate. ihey had n1o iniod iei-ts aid 140 fI. fRS known 'tiekets were iot asked of 'Iwmn.

Besides a yariety Uited States oilleials Including a nunt ber of deputy marshals. Of course, the didn't come to whoop things up for lRn Ier, but just to see funi. At tstations alont the route between here and Columb, smnall squads of whioopers got on tJi tmrain. At 10 thIs mornIng a train whic arrived from Chairlotteo brough t in severs hnundred more of the fmree excursion cor tingont miayy of them firom Charlotte. THE WINNER. Thme crowd had waited patiently for th Senatorial guns to fire andI broke into al pilause wheon Chairman White introduce tGov. Tiliman and aninouncedi the order c the remainder of the speaking.

He was aeccusedi of having a bitt tongue, but hie stood here and said he w not responsible for all tihe bitterness. .1 had been more persecuted and mialign than any other man.

He has never run for oni till over 38 years of age. Then he had gol for the biggest plum on the tree and sho< 1t0 down. Ife was now after a bigger phu and intended to get it. (Applause.) His friend Butler had beeni in office eig -teen years. Tihe oflice belonged to tU people and not to any mail. A BIRD'S EYE VIEW. The Governor next said 11e suipposedl ti candidates for the Senate imist discuss ni tional issues. He would simply take bird's eye v'iew of tihe situation. .Them were only two big questions-the tariff an finance. Hie wouldn't touch oin the taril to-day and would discuss finances to somn extent. He jumnpedl into the question b~ showing the great contraction of the mon oy of the country. In 1865, lhe said, there *was $2,000,000,000 of money in circulation uow there is only $1,000,000,000. That wa. ~', he r~ason the poor farmers of thle country ,~oenot getting a rewardl for their labor ~~~arged all this to Wall street.

That flat mioney, howeverk ba whipped the South I i the late war. Pur chased Congressnian and Senator yelled "Flat money" because tbey had been bou glit. bT (epeaker then begau the discussion of the silver question. He said gold and silver had been on a parity since the days of Abraham and ought to be now. The Dem oeratic platforin gadopted at Chicago had said they were equal, but Cleveland hadn't carried out the plans. Cleveland was a confessed perjurer and responsible for the present deplorable condition of the Demo cratic party. He charged Cleveland and Carlisle with hocus-pocus game in issuing $50,000,000 of bonds to replienish the gold reserve, which is again down to $05,000, 000. He charged a lot of thieving and rob bery in Washingtoh, but said some day the people will get together and there will be a 'big shakin ip. (L aughter.) Re attacked Cleveland as an old bag of beef whoma he could not filnl words to de scribe. He said John Sherian, the peo ple's eneiiy, was now the trusted adviser of Clevelanti, who his betrayed every trust. The couitry is in its present condition through the treachery of a Democeratic Presidelit. A PASS AT PASSES. Itestuming discussion of the silver nues tion, the Governor said the people wouldn't he oight and would kill out the dragon encirCling then. 'T'liey woild do it with their votes and could not be bought with money or free passes. This was his first direct allusion to the fre pass, free ex eursion of Biutlorites and brought loud applause from his supporters. The light.. he said, mnutst he for free silver and iore greenbacks. The Governor said the South and west nitist get together and inake a fight for liberty antI bread. He con eluded by telling a story of big John .Jiones and his ox, a story about an ox's tail being tied throtgh the dashboard of it vehiele. The Governor said if sent to the Senate lie would promise not to be bribed land not to sell out. He would chunk rocks for the peo ple's interest as long as lie could tse his tongue and would do all lie could. Just as the Governor wits conchiding, some ia in the audience reimarked that Tilliman would not get to the Senate to Ahuek rocks. Turiiing toward the speaker and way. ing his baud, the Governor said that six ty-live thousand white men had elected I1m to hils oflice anid would send hin to tie senate. Thlis elicited loud and pro longod .pplauise. PURCIIASED APPLAUSE. The free exenrsioni crowd had packetl losely arouid Life stand befoie 'Tillian lintished and when Butler was introdu 0eil lie was received with enjtlusiastlc snlluts of applaie.

TILL~MAN IN REPLY. - 1 and T0J10an to answer each other and the Governor was a troduoed for lile timo. The Governor 'began alt closing remarks by saying that he just wanted to aniswer ajew little firecrackers slot off by his friend. Ii regard to the proposition if Butler believed that tWe people ought to have the rfglit to elect Senators and if the Democratlcj Executive Committee is willing to grat the proposition hie had no objection.. "Butler went on to talk about my get ting among the plow boys. 1 want to ask you If the farmers did not put me ulp to lead a forlorn hope. "Yes they did and yott won I" staid alany voices. ''Since that time I have been more ma. ligned than any ian in the State.' II response to a question fron a man in the atudlence about his chances of election, the Governor said ihe had "done got the coon skin atnd was gone ." (Great laugh ter.) About free pjaes. the Governor told how lie had accepted one and Said Bttler had riddenl oil one all his life, ie then showedl up how many in the crowd had come here on free passes. Those men didn't coe here from North Carolina and all over the State for nothimg. Tiey could yell, he said, but couldn't vote in York County. Hocaused great cheering when lie said lie had York County and would thank the people in advance for the vote of tie county. The (lovernor told what he had done since he had beentlhe Chief Executive and said he had nothing to shield In his life. About Butler's story of the old mu1le and the young anule, le asked the farmers which they hat rather have, a youing, praneing nuile or an old flop-eared, worn-out aninal. "We'll take you!'" houted tany anid laughter at Butler's expense as a flop-eared aanimnal. The Governor said le had not voted foy Hill but for Boles at Chicago, Butler lavL ing charged him with being a stupporter of the former. BUTLER AGAIN. C heers and counter cheers, with a majority forButler, filled the air before the Senator was introduced the seconad time, Senator Bittler, in :oneluding his speech, a ain a. tenipte( to ridicule the (lovernor. He sad he (lidn't ask the executive committee for that proposition but asked Tillman who was a dodger. iutler had asked Tillmai a straight (tiestion and hadn't got a straight answer. Irby iad said there was a State nouse ring, and thought the old ring which the Governor claimed to have throttled was a mytit. To the'Governor's claim that lae had given the people a priiary, lie said lie thoaight the exectative Connnittee had don0e that, and Said lie thoutght. tihe Gov ernor Was counting his chickens before tiy wer litched Ili calculating so con-. fldently onl York Coity.

Interesting Descriptions of Two "Sure Things"-By Manipulating the Current the Dealer Can Select the Winner EverY Time-But the F'ools Still not. It is a time worn motto that a man is a fool who attempts to beat another at his own game. Nevertheless there is a perpetual and rich crop of gullibles who insist'upon throwing their hard earned money away in the vain and elusive hopo that a fortuno is within their easy grasp. The method is to them of no conse quence. They sincerely believe that the means deserve the end, and with this harmful and foolish idea in view they stato on their downward career, fully believing themselves competent to got the best of the sharper. But the sharper is proud of his name, and ho does his best to deserve his title. He generally succeeds and then lies in wait for an other victm. The sharper is a cuto one, and it seems almost a pity that his en orgies are not put in moro useful diree tions. His inventive ability is far above the average, and lie contrives devices which are marvels in their way; but as Josh Billings tersely puts it, "It iz a darned poor way. " Fresh in our minds are the develop monto which resulted from a raid by the police on one of the most prominent ganmbing establishments. Extraordinary devices were found, and everything was conducted on a scale of magnificence and ingenuity that was marvelous to behold. Electricity played a prominent part. In fact, everything that could be done to further the aims of tho gamblers in a dishonest way was carried out to a point bordering on per fection. There was one device for stopping the passage of a marble at a certain point, which could be changed at the will and discretion of the operator in charge. Each compartment was regularly num bered and had underneath it a small secreted electro magnet, the wires from which were so connected with spring contact points placed under a foot board, which in turn was situated and hidden on the floor, that the ball could be arrested in its progress at any point. Here, though, was apparently a diffi culty in connection with its successful operation. While it is true that the ball could be stopped, the suddenness of the stop would immediately attract sho suspicions of the players. It was evident that the stoppage iust be per formed gradually, so as to appear nat ural. A quick glance at the wheel show ed the operator which compartment was the most profitable one for him. The ball slowed up, stopped, and lie gather ed in his ill gotteV gains. The gradual slowing up was by a suc cossive number of weak impulses sent through the adjoining electro magnets, thus retarding the progress of the ball, i which was completed by an inner sphere of soft iron surrounded by a highly polished celluloid coating. Great skill on the part of the operator was of course required to avoid detection. But the men who worked this schemo felt so suro that discovery was impossible that their very boldness and audacity furthered their work. Murder, howev er, will out, and the secret was finally laid bare to a curious crowd. - Another dev'ice that attracted consid erablo attention was planned to deceivt V the most inquiring. A table was do f vised the top of which contained e y niumber of squares laid off similar t< .a chessboard. Immediately above thn center of the board was suspended e a light metallic board by means of a slen. der silken thread. A compond mechan. O leal motion at the top of a triangulai 4, frameworkc placed immediately over th< I center of the board caused the sillI 5, thread to take a rather erratie course. -On the boards were placed a number 01 r statuettes somnewhat similar to chess .men, but all of approximately the samt 0 height. The suspended ball was startet on its erratin course while the table wa: 0 slowly revolved. 0 Bets were then made as to which par. - ticular piceo would remain erect whm .1 all others were knocked down. Piece bj 1 picce they dropped until but one re o umained, and this one of course was do. O ared the prize winner. The game wat oven more audacious than the one abov< Li mentionied, but if anything it was mor< ~'ingenious. The way in which it was made "e sure thing" for its possessors was as fol. a lowvs: Underneath each individual Isquare was a rather strong letro mag. El net, all the north poles pointing upward. Each magnet was separately controlled in an adjoining room, a si al being communicated to the operato y any ol the well known systems common witla sso called "second sight" performers. S Inside of the light suspended ball was s y compound permanent magnet wvith th< t north pole pointing downward. Eachi fmarker, which I described as somewhat similar to a chessman, was loaded wvitia a piece of soft iron passing through its -axis. The pieces for as many players as wore present were laced upon the b. board. The operator ,. according to his discretion, selected mepieceo which S he desired to remain till the last. The r signal was given, and the ball was start e' d. Of course the pico left to the last 1was the one selected, and time after time were his wages of cheatmng gath ered in.
