THE PEOPLE'S JOURNAL T. 0. ROBINSON, UDITo1L p#BLISHED EVERY THUB5DAY. Subscription One Dollar a Year Entered at the Post omeO at FPjckon aW second-clam watter. ca1YIAIGN. This is the third week of the campaign and thore have boon many surprises, many calculations have failed, being based on errone ous tgoorios. The spirit of the people has not boon understood by the political schemoers. They have fail'ed to observe tho progress of poople in the scienco of govern mont and thoir ability to grasp quostions, affocting their intorsts and the welfare of the country. What was once fino political strat ogy has proven to be a disastrous experiment. The multitudo is no longer swayed by oratory and touching allusions to the past. Nothing but reason and logic, facts and figures, will satisfy them. In deed it is difficult for'a people to entertain tendor sontiments and calmly contonplate the glories of the past, whon the prosont is dark and stormy and the futuro gives no promise of a chango for the bot ter. Souator Butler, doubtless, already realizos that he has survivod his usefulness and the opportunities of his life'are past. He has not kopt pace with the advancing columns of his constituonts and will not he ablo to overtake thorn. Ho is bad 1y loft and has few sympathizers. His campaign has boon a series of blunders and his best plans have miscarried. His expectod victory at Rock Hill, whero ho had concentratod his army of frionds and boomers, resulted in terrible defeat. Senator Butler has found a fooian worthy of his steel and is now convinced, that he had un dorostimatd his ability and re sourcOS. The story that Butler woVild run Tillnialn off the stumip was circulated before the cam paign, but Butlor soon discovored thl folly of such an attempt and camo out that kind of business the worso for the wear. Gover nor Tillman speeches has removed all (oubt its to Ils being in full sympathy with ithe poop1)le on ti nlancialI qu'(stions. D) ipensuary Law. Whati the people waunt. is a dlispenusary law thait wtil enabh-il those~ who. wish it pure and umol terated*~ luhinors at a low price. Such a law enuattil in) thei interest of the con inersit.i~ wou~ild beo constit ut ional and pro. mote pubilic health. Thel price .ahiould not, exceetd t went~ y0o t wety-ive per cent, the, ut-t cost t wet-tive p~er cent woul be sut-| tiient to cover "'tare,'" "trot'' and contin gent expenses, anid woluld remove the prin (hial grouand upon which the late decision of the, Supretne Court based its opinion. The~ bar-roomxus and the blind tiger imust guo, for they are extremely detrinental to hmealthm on account of the poison blended in their wet goods, causing more sickness and deaths thaun any disease that affects the great commonwealth of South Carolina. Man wants but little here below but he1 wants that little cheap and pure. All previous laws on the liquor questioi have been enacted in the interest of the pro, ducer and the vendor. Now let us have a liquor law enacted it the interest of the consumner. There are more consumers than produceirs and von dors, and on the principle that all lawm should be so constructed that their effeci would be the greatest good to the greateal number. Let us have a liuor law enatin once in the interest of the masses, for thi producers and vendors will always take care of themselves. It is unnecessary ami a foolish waste of time, talent and1( wind, t( insert a clause in any liquor Ilaw that nc liquor shall be sold1 to those who are in the habit of using it, for it only puts the user tc the trouble of getting some one else 'to gel it for him, and another thing,bvho in Hall fax are you Intending to sell liquor to, 'if you are prevented by law from selling it to those who want it? No don't sell it to those who do not want It, but to those who do want it, sell pure andl unadulterated liquors in originallp~ack. ages, as it left the State chemist sealed, If this plan is carried out there will be no blind tigers, no bar-rooms on the sly, for they could not compete with pure liquor at a low p)rice, from a dispensary, run with out profit. -A .MXOCHANic.

A louzy tramp of the unbleach ed tribe was nabbed the other day for swinging on the train, for which offenco the posted fino is $5, but as he was very willing to bo takon charge of and fed, and did not pro test that it was unconstitutional, and as time was more plontiful than money or anything olso with him, he wont to tho lock-up and spont the night behind closod doors, and was liberatod the next morning to go on his way rejoicing.

June 29.--Thii r has boen. a hard .week for the cam i paignors,' and the,- hope that they will not have to'go through anoth or like it. In four days a majority of them have traveled 92 miles over country roads, besides hundreds oi the railroads. Thoro is hardly ai .an in.:tho. party who will not welcome the few days rest ahead o'f inm. The meeting for Florence Coun ty was held at Elim's Church, .,welve.'miles from hero, and the speakers and newspaper men had to go thoro by private convoyance and return here. Not over five hundred voters were present to liston to the speak ers, and the meeting was without a featuro. Senator Butler had few friends in the crowd, which was for Gov ornor Tillman by o(ds of thirty to one. The stand was about as large as a chicken coop and there was no room on it for froporters, who sat in a hack and used their knoes as tables. They did not have much to do, however, as the meeting was flat and unintoresting. There was little enthusiasm for any speaker until Governor Tillman spoke. The crowd did not stay near the stand until his time came to speak and then they crowded around to hoar him. The conduct of all except two or throo was good. Their's was not disorderly, but &was annoying. It was not directed to any particular speaker. The efforts of County Chairman McCall to suppress these effusive individuals were fruitless There was no police authority and they coudld not be arrestod. Had not General Ellerbo ani Sonato'r Evans clawed oach otho: some there would not havo booi any fun. Tillmian and Butlor le each other alone. General Ellerbe was tho firs speaker. He said he was not g( ing to make a ;speech, but was g(; ing to make a plain talk to "cl(d hoppers," as clodhoppers. He sai he was going to criticise the recor of his young friend Evans, but wa not going to hit abelow the bol They were friends and were 1n< going to fight. Unless they qua reled somb there would be no tu in the~ gubernatorial race. Gene 'al Ellerbe then accused his frior of having gone back on Refor: measures in the early dlays of ti movement, one of thenm boi .Clemson- College. Evans's excui for doing this in 1889 wvas that a would increase taxes, yet he vote. ir for tho bill later, and it then ii , creased the taxes. General Ele s h)e made the samoi charges whie . he has previously mnadol agaim Senator Evans's early Reform ri 0 cordl. General Ellerbo claimo 3, that he had asked the Legislatur dj to redluce salaries and had askedi a to cut dowun the number of. cler i. ships in his office. General Ello] . o invited criticism of tihe admin f istration of lisa office and said hi a, record could be attacked by Evan if tihe latter desired, ie toldl wha a had boon done by his oflico in thb ,matter of taxation. To the charg a of Evans that lie (Ellerbe) ha< a wanted the bonds sont to his hiom a to sign, he said that for two year .he had worked so hard that lie con - tracted pneumonia. This settle on his lungs and lie was confine r to his home for months. NVhil in this condition he had gotte his chief clerk to take some of th b~onds to him fromk Columbia an Shad signed themi in his sick bod. SGeneral Ellerbe attacked the rol ton financial laws of the countr and said that unless thore wa more money the people woul Sstarve. The Alliance, lie thought would succeed im bringing rolioi The speaker gave the audience th benefit of his knowledge and1( idea on the financial questions of th day and was listened to wvithoui interruption except from a drunk on fellow who appeared to thin] that he was especially delegated t< ask everybody silly questions General Ellerbe concluded by be. seeching the alliance to keep ni its splendid organization, a~ on ii depands the happiness .and pros. perity of the farmners and working classes. Senator Evans made a remar~k during General .Ellerbe's speech which he no doubt did not moan in the literal sense in which it was taken.' Senator Evans had said at Chesterfld that he had written in 1889 to the Augusta Chronicle de fending. Tillman and Reform. General'Ellerb~e asked Evans. to day why ho.did not writo that lot tor to The Register or somlo other Reform papot. "Because," answorod Evan s, "The Rogister was not thon with us. We had to buy it out." Dr. Sampson Popo spoko socond. He said he had voted to make a nw coulity of Florence. Tho speaker said.mhat,, tho old regimo jd boon turned out.because of its multitu1dinousW'*iings. All ho ask ed wais thattho peoplo siashi ovory ring which iowod its hoad in tho Roform cause. Hi had askod thom to ho .indopondent and not to be bossed. . Dr. Popo defended tho Dispensary and said that it was the best law ovor passed. If the law-is finally doclared to be uncoin stitutional lbe was in favor of high liconco. Dr. P-ope said that dangers are throatoning tho Reform cause. An intervoning primary was order ed by the reform Executive Ccm mttee, to take place before the general. primary. It looked, how ever, like there would be no fair nosa in that intervening primary and he asked the people to join him in asking the Reform Executive Committee to call off that prima ry and let all the candidates run in the general primary. In the up country, Dr. Pope declared, clubs have been organized in the inter est of certain candidatos. These clubs had endorsed Tillman for the senato anl had tacked John Gary Evans on Tilinan's coat tails as a candidate for Governor. This was not fair timd honest. Candi. dates are being voted for long be foro the election. Dr. Pope talkod on financial is. Imas. He :sr01 th6 Alliance sub troasu-ry plan,. if enacted into law would bring some relief. Th r stringoney at present is due to law w hich allow the contraction o oxpansion of curroncy at the wil of Wall stroot. Tho nationa banking systom is one of tho mean t .est ol theso liws and should he rt pea lod. h'lo alliance, Dr. Pop Sai(d, is the groat educator of thi country. Tho speooh was one o d1 hard facts, straiight aid simple. I Secretary' of: State Tinda -3 spoke ''thirdly," as preacher L some tiles say. The fariners >t Mr- 'Tindal said, had no idea o r- injuring the in terests of businesi n1 men or of anybody when thea r- organizedl for their mutual pro d( tection and benefit years ago n Th farmers do not now want t< o'eripple any of the-industries am ig tradles, but simply dlesire to prIo 0 teet themselves. Mr. Tinda isaid the Southern boys shouk (be brought up on an equality - with, the boys of the North. Ir -other words, there should b( h mor artists and more mechan. ics. To bring this about Clemnsor: College has been established and ithe farmer boys are being given opehportunities they never had Sbefore. Theiy should be encour aged to accept those opportuni -ties. - Mr., TinddI mado a peace and a unity talk, saying there was no Sreason why bitterness should t longer continue. 3 "1 do not want to 'uterrupt a you,"' said an old man, "but :1 didn't Hampton and Butler sa~y o we were not Delnocrats?" s ".But we are Democrats," an - sweredi Mr. Tindlal. "Yes, wve are," said the old man, ''and confound them, I e fought under both of them." " (Applause.) e Mr. Tindal ably defended the dl Reform administration1 and pointed out all it has dlone, re -citing the Cooshkw andl railroad Y fights andl many other victories a which have beeni won. lr. Trind(al said that a good :many things are yet, to be ac -comnplished ,by the Reformers. SOne of these is a constitutional " convention, andl another is tho 3 -putting into Operation as soon as ~ possiblo of the Dispensary law. iMr Tindal put hinmself on recordl as in favor of considering the Dispensary question aside from politics, as it is a moral issue. No law can be enforced unless the moral forces of a State are united. fie Aygnied to see the prohibitidrfss a oin in this moral fight .with the ,Dispensary ]awv, If electedl Govenor Mr. Tindal said ho would. carry on the Re form principles. "We want Gary Evans for Governor and Tillman for the Senate," had been'heard from a number of voices before the Ai ken Gamne Cock was introdced. Hie o,t once waded -into tho Ma rion $wanup Fox, defing himself against all the accusa ions made against him. Evans grow peppery in dealing with his kinsman and a man shouted "You are getting like old Uncle Ben." (Laughtor.) Senator Evans denied that lie had ever voted, against salary reductions and took the journals of the Senato to prove his asser tion. He declared that lie had led the fight for salary reduc tions. He had saved thousands of dollars to the tax-payers by bills which lie had introduced and by . amendments. He told what some of those bills were. Besides those he had repealed portions of the civil rights bills. Ellerbe should have read from the records what lie had done for the people and what he had not done. He denounced all of Ellerbe's accusations as flimsy charges. He said that he was not Till man's candidates for Governor, but Mrs. Tillman, who was a better politician than the Gov ernor, was for him. '.She is for me," said General Ellerbe, "because she told me so." (Laughter,) "She was just telling him that to make him feel easy," said the Senator. (Laughter). The Sqnator highly amused the audience by discussing and poking fun at "Cousin Willie." He retold the ''tater" story and Said if those fellows in the State House were permitted to feed on the tater bank all the time none of the other Reformers would get any. (Laughter.) The pap suckers would have to be choked off. Evans said that Ellerbe want ed to rotate from one office in to another, and wanted his chief clerk Jim Norton to fill his I place. I General EIlerbe called Evans - down on the statement about - Norton and got from him an ad mission that he might be wrong. General Ellerbe stated that he f did not know that Norton had anniounced himself and said it was not the first mistake made by Ellerbe. (Laughter ) After his fun with Ellerbe, Senator Evans concluded with a defense of the Dispensary law, Of11-1:.i Notice.( of le i ef ox'iu On' Pursuant to resolution adopt ed by the reform State, execu tive commlkittee at the meeting held in.
