Sptciul to The News ami Courier Manning, April 25.?The poll cal overture for 1902 has be< heard. The opening airs of tl campaign were today ottered Manning. The leading role the play was taken by Senat B. It. Tillman and the second rc by State Senator Louis Appe If the balance of the opera is lil that heard here today the sta will hear "hot stuff" for mai months, and the leader todi suggested that the summer's pli is so good that it be put 011 1 two separate aggregations ai rendered in various parts of t state simultaneously. The ope ing act of the play today last for nigh onto five hours. Duri most of that time SenatorTillm occupied the stage, althoui about an hour was given to Sta Senator Appelt. Senator Tillman had thin very much his own way and, course, it is twaddle to sugg* I it i I ? 1 ' -* inhi iie couia not use this to t advantaee. He is a lighter ar seeing that he had SenatorAppt hard pressed, he shoved and ke on shoving his knife, which is sharp as ever. It is a long story, this thing the fight between Senator App< and Senator Tillman, and would be tiresome to go over t whole thing at this time, h Senator Tillman, or rather 1 friends in Clarendon county, d not like the accusations, and t political opponents of Appelte; a golden opportunity for 'Mow ing" the man who attacked o k,noble leader." They doubt ' their own ability towhackAppt so they had Tillman to come a | try to crush him. | Now, the editorials have be running in the Manning Tim | of which Mr. Appelt is edit* since December 11, and his cc ' tention is that the editorial.- d ! not charge that Tillman wan J thief, hut that all that ho \vrc was based upon certificates statements that he had, and tii ^ , ho presented the certificates | claimed he could present, a : that otherwise all that he n y said was legitimate newspap ' criticism. Senator Appoii sa that if Ins friend could disp?o : the accusation he would be d V / lighted, hut that the burden his fight was to protect tne p niary and see that no one \v \ squeezed out of it, and that was best and fairest for the pt j pie, ami not a committee, to the judges of a man's Deinocra , Aii for binibeit lie uiMAieu in i lie was now, always had been ai I would remain a Democrat, ai ; that he would abide the decisi J of the State convention, and McLauiin was not a Democr; friend of hi* hh he wac, not support him. appklt'b "proofs" i If Senator Appelt 1 J* J'TIh ^ k? \*i iL JL\w J! {t may3 , iqo2. 'i 'promised proof that Tillman was! ; mixed up in any robato deals lie, | was wofnlly and sadly disapi pointed, as there was absolutely ( nothing new?not a scratch ? to show that Tillman had gotten any whisky, bond or other rebates, and when pressed Appelt said he was ssti?lled with Tillman's ext>r planation about the entire whisky i rs matter and the rebate (juestioti.; hp What hurt rillman more than 'anything else, hr said,- was that. I i I after his long life, he should he charged with such wrongs by a j "former friend." j Senator Tillman is a master at] en saicpsm and savage jabs, and to : day he took speeial pleasure in using both arts, and yet Senator in Appelt said he was "gratified or with the light castigation" he had j 'e received. The charges, if any there he,; fell flat so far ns the proof today *e went, except that Tillman has a [ W telegraph frank, and that he used i y it in sending a message from , ' Washington to Manning, and this! i ^ Tillman said was not unlawful, ] 1 I ll( and moreover he was not to be i bought in sucli a small way. It i n" was a mere courtesy. I 6(1 I " , T1IE REBATE MATTER. 1 ft g I Senator Tillman went into an ' El 11 . elaborate explanation of the re- ' bate matter and insisted that no 1 to one got liquor rebates while ho 1 I was governor and that the rebates 1 ^ j were waived because the dispeu- ' ,st. sary (iiinculty in establishing | a line of credit and owed some- 1 lis , thing for its long credit, and be- 1 cause the dispensary under him did not buy adulterated liquors, but used pure cologne extract 1 and two-stamp liquor and that ' J only one of these grades secured 1 ' a rebate, and that the rebate was 1 . i absorbed in the price of the liquor ' . and that in those days the dis- ' lie 1 ? i Ipensary bought cheap and pure, ^ I liquors and he did not worry to ' make a show of rebates, and it ' was senseless to keep on charging i that he got any rebates.

(Appl.u-e) It \va?: rr-narkable Lo have a man elected governor twice and Uuited States Seuator twice come among the people and defend his private and oliicial duties. There is no public man svho has not had to meet abuse, and in fact if there was any man svho had been pelted more than tiimself he would like to see him. In spite of these dirty insinuations he felt that the people did not believe the charges, but he wanted to settle and kill the rotten thiug now once and for all time. Lie came here because his character and record had been attacked, and because there were insidious enemies of the Democratic party at work, and he had been attacked because he was the sentinel on guard, ar 1 he came here to defend himself and bis part\'. ii? *? c? u: no icau i nc 111 v i itiuuii i ur mm to come, lie was here to tace bis accuser, face to face. lie was . here to answer all accusations and insinuations once for all. and lie wanted every charge made and ho would answer them. It wus a time-houored custom among Anglo Saxons that the accused be presented with the charges that were preferred. The formal indictment should l.eoifered and he was anxious 10 get it, but had failed. Senator Tillman then read some correspondence that had parsed between himself and Appelt. lie then took np the rej !v of Senator Appelt and saul he. had 10 business to answer an open ittack by a private letter and daim protection of privacy.
