Tho roadors of tho JOURNAL, who, did not hear Governor Tilliuan's spoochvshould by all means care filly road and consider the report of it,published this week. It bears out tho statement of thE JOURNAL that the antis are tampering with somo of tho Reform loaders, and that there is somothing wrong, and that efforts have boon made to sa crifico Tilman to satisfy the am bition of loaders, who will be more subject to tho influence of the an tis. The JOURNAL has all the time warned tho Reformers against. the folly of listening to overtures and fair talk of the antis, and is more convinced than over of the neces sity to mako a straight fight. Stick io your truo and tricd loadors and allow nothing to turn you against Governor Tillman and the mon who aro holding up his hands and helping him to secure the bonofitE and blessings of good gQvernmoni for the masses of tho poople.

Pickekis; August 8.-Special: The Third Party poems to have a pretty good hold on Pickens Coun ty. That was perhaps the most notable feature of to-day's cam paign meeting. Whatever unkind and mean was said of the Demo cratic party and Cleveland wias cheered, and Governor Tillman's expression of his intention to loave the party as soon as lie saw a ray of hope in the West was applauded to the echo. Governor Tillman, however, braved the Third Party itos by attacking their pet dream, the sub-treasury scheme. Gover nor Tillman was a bit mad about the attempt to monkey with the "Reform" primary convention and everlastingly pounced upon those wio are attempting to make the change. He saw spooks and talk ed about a vision of his being swapped off by Gubernatorial can didates, about thoir having solfish motives, and about J udas and such things. Who was ho talking about? When I asked who was meant lie enigmatically replied tha t thoso who lived in glass housos had their roofs broken in, and when it rained they would know wvhoso roof had a hole in it. His introductory prelude on the heads of the fallen "Reformors" was about the only sensation of the day. Otherwiso overything was exceedingly (iiot, and peacoablo. Gon.

He was fooling uin wll, but wvould have to say some thing to his many friends, lie made a conservative and matter of fact speech, and began by arguing that his work in Washington quali fled him to (10 better for the poo ~le than ever before. It was noth ing new to canvass States. It was customary out Wtest and it was only right that all candidates for office see the p~eople. He insisted that he had not been mixed up with any of the factions of the State, but was simply stand ig by the white people. It was the duty of everyone to take up and increase everything good that has been accomplished, whether done by the "Reformers" or .any se. .~1.

He was given an attontivo hearing, overy word of his olo quent speech boing appropriated and eagorly dovoured. laij said it was the best speech ho has mado during tho campaign.

Something mulist he wrong. He took up somoe questions which had been prepared and handed him. To the first, as to his attitudle towvardls the State platform, he replied that he had answered this in his letter' to the Alliance and would abide the party platformi of the State. Th'ie third question was as to his supphort of the sub-.treasury, and to this lhe said lie was 01) posed'( to the Govern men t lend img any money andl among othier reasons arguedl that it would open a roadT for a corrupt andl rotton Governmnen I by the selfish use of the lending p)ower. He branched off on the letter question and summed up his viewes of Cleveland by saying that if there was anyone who entertained more contemp ht anl hatred for him, he was a curi osity, H~e had a good deal to say about the Demnocratic p~arty and seemeod to delight the audi once very much where he re marked that he wvas ready to leave the Democratic p~arty as soon as he saw daylight in the West, no matter what name the party had to take. Whatever references he had to make about Cleveland were heartily cheered and no matter how hard he hit the 0C' voland Democra cy it was ii more delight ful to Party audi 9 crowd the county instead of patronizin the "blind tigers." The Governor kept up thi talk for a few minutes during I heavy rain, but was forced t stop on account of the down pour. The Gubernatorial candidate went to the Court House, wher they spoke. Nothing unusua happened thoro. Most of th< crowd made for Easley's, wher< they scuffled to, get away.
