TILLMAN'S DISCOVERER Or tlie Man Who Weaned Hen From Sour IltiUerniilk?MeLaurin Writes Evans* Epitaph. Special to The State. Aiken,July 14.? Between three and lour hundred of the 2,700 voters in Aiken county came out to day to hear the senatorial candidates. I'lte cmirt Ii(iiki> tt'ns comfortably tilled. The old time enthusiasm was missing. Messrs. Evans, lrby and McLaurin each spoke lor an hour or more and when Mr. May field's time came the crowd was so weary and had scattered so lor dinner that he had the mercy and good sense to speak lor only ten minutes. Gov. Evans said he regretted that there was so small an audi euce. The issues t' at are now up have not been puhuciy discussed for years. Mr. McEaruin. he said, had by acts repudiated the true Democratic doctrine and platform and was a Republican under Democratic cloak. McLaurin's policy, he urged, would onlv en ricli the few and make the cost of filings higher to the masses. McLaurin should come out like oth ers, he urged, as a protection Republican, for it was wrong to serve as a Republican in Democratic livery. The Republicans never gave the Democrats anything unless they sold out or gave ten for fine. According to the papers McLaurin is doing everything in Washington and it would pay to ask the government to let the Slate have the $.'10,000 and l. 4iw. ,.ii. .. i ii ? mini; iiif uiimt* iimiit*. in* >uiu lie would say nothing about (iov.

It Mel.aurin's policy i? carried out it will cost the tanners 20 per cent, more on necessaries. lie commented on a negro paper in Washington urging Me Laurin's appointment because of his helping to defeat the dim ('row bill. He then at length discussed the Peruvian cotton schedules urged that there could he no possible good in if to the farmer, ex copt to pay more lor his socks, hose and clothes in which these cottons are used. Only 100,000 bales of long staple was raised in this country, and three-fourths of that in (ieorgia, and the idea was to tax the mass3s to help a few Sea Island "niggers"and planters, t To show that McLaurin was a pro- ^ tectionist.he said McLaurin voted f for a 300 per cent, tax on wool I against the 55 per cent.tax in the c Wilson bill as proposed by the t committee. As to Tillman's po- 1 sition he* did not think it the same 1 as McLaurin's,but if it were, Till- I man was wrong and he would tell 41 him so and vote against him. lie \ spoke a long time on the cotton c schedule and said it gave the nort h c the very club it wanted with j which t> rob the south on the'l compensatory tax and on bagging I amities. It was like selling out for \ a mess of pottage with the south ?*; ern masses getting nothing. The i speech of Mr. Kvans was full on the tarill"issue. t ('ol.Irby said he lirst came to Aiken to see how the Reform i movement would take in this sec- i tion. and after his visit told Till I man all was safe, lie spoke of t taking in new blood and that Mr. 1 Henderson was the biggest catch j since Is?.M) (applause) ; said he 1 wanted to talk like a Reformer, } 1 bmtAorol <i Mil ?? ??>???

He 1 said he hud always been opposed 1 by 4,the clique'' in Columbia. Mayfield was a child of Shell?so < an orphan; Duncan of the devil, j and McLaurin of Gonzales. i He said fhe State misrepresented him and alleged that it was i an injustice and perversion to have said he favored factional strife when he said he did not. (This is where the word''not" was printed to read "now.") lie said The State took advantage of him at all times. As to his dispensary views he said he wanted the system given a fair chance. , It was far better than open bar rooms. He helped to make the law and believed it right yet. If . there was any rottenness it should be remedied,and if any dishonesty, x....i II ~..i i 4 ?i ifUHiniivu. in' wiiiiiu iioi t'liar^i' either. He objected to features of the law, especially imprisonment in the penitentiary for the sale of liijuor. The campaigh had been forced on and a horrible schedule ar ranged by ('ol. Neal and others. Talking on. he said if Tillman nad taken his advice he would | have had a wooden man run | against Mcl/iuriu. I le explained ' | at length why he did not run la-t year and other political acts,here; to lore stated, lie predicted that 'there would he a Republican and 'Democratic party in this State, and in time the suffrage plan would be cursed. Talking ol the: Reform movement he said if it had not been tor him Tillman i would still be sidling butter in coperas breeches. The move i ment, he said, started in the de ' I j teat of <>011. fiary in 1880 If I Diary had lived he would have|< been elected in 1882 and there ( would have been no occasion fori 1 the movement that avenged I Gary's assassination. lit; found I Tillman, proposed to him at Dan I Tompkin's house to run for gov- i ernor, and Tillman readily assent- | ed, and was elected. He would jl only have made the li^ht in thejl Democratic party. He said he j would tell what sort of a Demo- a crat he was and that he was notj v he sort as the governor of the t itate who had sold out the Re <: orm party to the Gonzales party, a le then went for the governor's t ourse in reprimanding and dis- j nissing privates and not reprimanding Gen. Watts. A repri ^ naiul was to abuse and cuss out. $ ''llerbe's course he said was t 'harsh, undemocratic and un- ( varranted. " (Appl ause.)

McLaurin ought to have been ' lieaten for writing that squedunk letter and he understood that McLaurin and (ion/ales thought Df running independent tickets against the nominees for the Constitutional convention. General Butler had McLaurin's blacklist removed and he wanted to know what General Butler was to get for this and he wanted to know where Mcbaurin then stood and who he now favors and if he was lor Tillman's re-election, as that was an bsM'1, and he wanted Mc Laurin asked how he stood as to Tillman. Mr. McLaurin said if he were such a remarkable man as to be a Populist, Republican and Demo crat and could arrange so many deals he would not think ot running for senator, but would aim higher. This was the tirst time he had ever been sassed by a corpse, he said in connection with a joke. The talk about his being in combination was entirely to throw i people oil' of the scent of the combinations against him. He' r'ntnrilininnOiit 1 rl>i'V I - i " i"""" '1' i shrewdness.

Kvans had been uti ! fair to him in attacking him in liis own home and trying to make ujiital out of his oj)j>osin^ t he .lim 'row car bill. A majority of the Democrats defeated the bill and ie opposed it because of certain eat ores in it. Ilis people knew iow he stood and that there was lothinc in this sort of talk. Ilis leople for generations were ' cnown in this section and no one lefore ever tried to make him ap ' >ear as opposed to white men ' md women, lie now and has al } va.vs rented his land to white s enants, although he could no! loubt get more from colored ten mts, but he was doing what ho bought was right and what his icople before him had done. His every vote he contended vas strictly on the party platform md he has never been a protecionist. lie thought it robbery o get more money than the government wanted. IIo cited as an (lustration of his position : Suppose the people voted for a graded school system and carried it and ic paid his taxes to support the system, would t here be any sense u hi;? keeping his children away i from the school because he did (iMt lwi) invo in eolinnlo ? So with the tariff. There was a Kepublican house ami senate ami president. None of the Democrats made I lie bill or had tnneli to say. but should they try to make it as nitieh 11011 sectional as possible, or not ? The bill was going to pass. Nothing could tiefeat it. and the question was whether to sit down and let it go us it was prepared and presented nr to try and got. something out or it. for his people by trving to get some justice and equity. He wanted such things equalized. There was never proposed any increase in the price of eating rice and the bill does not raise the price, but simply changed the classification so as to tax the rice the brewers have been using. As to the fallacy of the argument used against the cotton tax last year, short staple cotton was brought to New Orleans from Mexico and more will come unless there is a duty. Senator Bacon and not he proposed this tax on cotton. Ho said he would keep up his fight, for all time for bagging and ties. As to his sending out his tirst speech, he sent out .'J0,00<> as many as he could afford, and it was printed in nearly every paper and he stood by it. lie was not a protectionist, as he said, but held that the people of South Carolina had an many rights as any other people. He never remembered saying the people lingered and loafed too long around Calhoun's grave, hut it occurred to hint that Kvans likes to loaf around the grave he was put in last year. Ho said he and Tillman stood to-dav where Calhoun and II ay no stood. Ilayne assisted in fixing a duty on indigo and held it was in strict conformity with all of the principles of the hill. He and (Jeorgo I). Tillman also held very much the same ideas. As to voting for the high tariff on wool that was in committee and had unfiling to do with tIn* hill. It was a light be Iwccii McMillan and 1'iilev and lie stood by 11 alley, who. In- said, some were trying to get in a hole, 'i'ho committee fixed this regard less of his vote and it was purely a side tight. Kvans did not seem to know how to get. along without Tillman's eoattail. lie thought he was on it, hut now Tillman says his views are identical with his own and Kvans is still holding on to the eoat?hut flu1 man inside of it was gone The great objection to him has ?

Is left in the cold. A letter of regret was read from Mr. Duncan at his inability to he present at the meeting. Mr. Maylield said as everyone I was urea 110 wouiu only speak in minutes, lie said most emphatically he was in no combination and was running on his own hook. He stood for true Democratic doc- L trines at all titnos and consequently did not believe Mr. McLaurin's position correct. Any plunder inir.no matter under what excuse, he held.was wrong. Any increase in prices was a species of robbery ^ and that was what Mr.McLaurin's view led to. To legislate prices was wrong and no one had a right to legislato favors. As to the Mexican cotton, it amounted to nothing. The Liverpool market fixes the prices. As to the dispensary,it was a national issue as to the Latimer bill, which he opposed. He did not believe the State should go into the liquor business. There are many good features about the dispensary law, but the State had no business in the business. He explained his position as to giving the State prohibition with local option under proper restrictions for the sale of liquor. The meeting tomorrow will !>e ? held at Edgefield.
