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.

'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, ]

ll( and moreover he was not to be i
bought in sucli a small way. It i
n" was a mere courtesy. 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\'.

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. He
