A GOOD SPEECH.
Some two years ago The Herald and
News enjoyed the pleasure of com
mending in strong terms a speech de
livered by Gov. Tillman. That speec
was made somewhere in North Caro
lina. It was a good speech. This weel
we take pleasure in commending an
other speech ot his. It is short, and wE
reproduce it in this connection as wE
find it in the daily newspapers. He de
livered it in Columbia, to the militia a:
they were returning home.
He said: "Soldiers, two trains whicl
are to bear four eompanies to theii
homes are now waiting and what ]
shall say will be brief.
"I feel it important and necessary
and indeed due you to return the
thanks of South Carolina to you foi
your valiant services. Called without
z moment's notice, you did not hesi tatu
a me:n-ent to leave your avocations tc
respond. There was never the least
intention that you ebould shoot dowc
your fellow citizens, but you were seal
there to repress disorder, restore the
lawand prevent mobs from committing
murder and to see that South Caroline
is obeyed and her laws upheld. I knoa
you are anxious to get home and you
deserve the benizons and God's blessing
of all lovers of peace.
"The time has come for bitterness
anger and animosity among brethreu
to cease. Henceforth let us, one and
all, be united and stand together foi
the good of South Carolina."
We are told in all the papers that
there was no applause to this speech.
That may have been because it was con
trary to orders, but of that we car(
nothing.
If Governor Tillman would only
more frequently practice what ht
preaches in this little speech, our deai
old State would be a thousand fold
better off. We are truly - glad to heai
B. R. Tillman say: "The time ha:
come for bitterness, anger and animosi
ty among brethren to cease."
The Herald and News has alway:
felt and taught that there was no usE
for such a time ever to begin. Gov.
Tillman can do more possibly than any
other man in the State to stop the
bitterness, and we are truly glad to heal
him say it is time for it to cease. Only
now that he will just practice what hE
preaches. We want every bitter parti
san In this county to read this speech,
especially every Tillmanite. Hear the
closing sentence: "HPnceforth let- us,
one and all.be united and stand to.
gether for the good of South Carolina.'
That is good doctrine -again and the
very sort of #preaching The Herald and
News has been doing for a long time.
We repeat that we are truly glad that
B. R. Tillman has been aroused to a
realization of the fact that we should
all be united and stand together for the
good of South Carolina.
It is an important fact he has Isarned
and the pity is he did not learn it long
ago, Possibly if he had the present
divisions among the wbite people of
this State, would not have come.
Bitter and intemperate speeches on
both sides have done much to keep up
the bitterness and strife, and no one
has been benefited thereby. We hope
that when the people come to select
officers this year that they will retire
to the rear all those on both sides who
are given to bitterness, and an effort to
keep up the strtfe. .We do not want
such rulers. The good of the State de
mands that we be rid of extremists and
fanatics.
It is time now for soberness and rea
son and judgment to assume control.
Governor Tillman should have the last
paragraph of this little speech framed
and hung upon his bed post, so that
he 'could add a petition to his night
and morning prayers to be given power
to follow the advice there laid down.
"The time has come for bitterness,
anger and animosity among brethren
to cease. Let us, one and aU be-united
and stand together for the good of
South Carolina."
The Reformers met in Columbia last
week under the Colleton idea plan and
issued an address and called a reform
convention to be held in August. It
looks a if things are to be packed in
the interest of Jno. Giary Evans. It
lookF also as if a bigger ring has been
made than could ever have been con
ceived by the old oligarchy. There will
be very little time for a State campaign
after the August reform convention,
for only two weeks intervene between
itand the general primary. This plan
does not leave the choice of a candidate
for Governor to a majority of the De
mocratic voters but simply to a major
ity of the reformers. The effort seems
to be to rule the conservatism entirely
-autof the game.
The address is a very weak paper
made up of platitudes and generalities.
But if the reformers are satisfied for
the bosses to dictate to them whbat they
shall do and how they shall vote it
suits us.
We shall go along publishing the
news and laying the facts before the
people.
The United States Court has deeid~
the Agricultural Hall case agains,
tate. The reader is familiar with the
case. How'the property was sold and
bought by aMr.Alexander ofNortbCar
lina, who made the .tirst payment and
wanted to pay the whole amount in
cash and offered Blue Ridge Scrip, and
how Gov. Tillman played the Andrew
Jackson act and had the building
guarded and refused to give possession.
We said at the time that it seemed to
us that the proper thing to have done
would have been to refuse to take the
Scrip and when the second payment
was due made the pu-chaser pay it in
good money or sell the property. The
State will have a big amount of rent to
pay aid possibly have no quarters
for its liquor business.
But then the tax payers can stand
the racket so long as it is done in the
interest of and for reform.
The Democratic clubs are to meet
and reorganize next Saturday. Other
wise, under the party machinery, they
will have no representation in the con
ventions: *
The war will cost the taxpayers
something like $25,000, but then that is
a very small amount in an era of re
form.
A
NO ENEMY TO COLUMBIA.
The State newspaper objects to '
statement in The Herald and News last ant
week as "unfair, unfriendly, and totally. of
without excuse." It also says that vie
what we said is indefinite. is t
The Herald and .News stated that era
the Columbia military companies made tic
a mistake in refusing to respond to the thi
order of Governor Tillman and dis- the
banding. In this connection we made Dai
this statement: Go'
"It seems to us that of late the citi- troc
zensof Columbiacan always be counted of
on to do the wrong thing just at the
right time to please their opponents. pc
There are certain leaders there who tho
seem to have forgotten that there are call
any other people in the State outside ofJ nev
Columbia." ern
And this is the statement The State er
construes as unfriendly to Columbia. jud
The Herald and News does not care de+
at this time to discussthe action of the call
military companies in refusing to re- ball
spond to the call of the Governor, not The
because of the weakness of our position
or frc -:. any fear of being able to main- bas
tain the correctness of it, but because
we can see no good to come from dis- cus
cussing it at this time, or anything to be
accomplished by it. The more we think WI
of it and the more we see it discussed, all
the more strongly we are convinced an
that the Columbia and Charleston com- acti
panies and others made a great mistake
in ditibanding and in refusing to re- stal
spond to the call of the -Governor. If t
every company is to.be the judge as t4 o
when it will respondto the Governor's ccp
eall, when the law gives him the power ofts
to call them out, we see no need of a ofs
militia. Such a militia is- worse than the
none at all. dor
The Herald and News did not say
there was any mob in Columbia or ton
anywhere else. On the contrary we sen
said we did not believe there was con
any there or anywhere else, and that cies
in our opinion there was no need to and
call out the militia, but in the opin- for(
ion of Gov. Tillman there was need for sha
calling it out, and when he called, it was pie
the mu
the duty of the militia to respond, and int
in the town and city companies not con
doing it they made a mistake and the
played into his- hands, if he desired to 01
make political capital out of it. But mt
we put it on a higher ground, that it con
was their duty to respond to the call, or abo
they should not have been holding s
commissiotis under the Governor. des
And we repeat what we said last
week that it seems to us that there are equ
some politicians in Columbia who have 's
lost all political wisdom. They,may ,,
be pretty good theorists but they seem smt
to have no conception of practical poll- "
tics.. And in saying this we would not abr
have them sacrifice any principle of the
compromise themselves in any way. dan
But their opposition to Tillman as- old
sumes at times the bitter partisanship f
of the extreme and bitter Tillmanites wia
themselves, The Herald and News can- T
not go with or follow the lead of extrem- was
ists on either side. The- Herald andwa
News stands for th.at which it believes to in a
be right, and hope never to become such lad
a bitter partisan that we connot see the Inti
errors of our own side, and the good of colt
the other faction. hav
if this position is to be co)nstroed as g
enmity to Columbia we can't help It. con
If Gov. Tillman should pray for more all
such opponents, so be it. You will al- colt
ways find us on the side of truth andha
justice and fair dealing as our judg- si
ment and conscience may point them
ot to us. We may err. We may make T
mistakes, but they will be errors and
mistakes of the head and not the heart. Cal
And we will stand by our convictions the
to the end or until we are convinced itig
they are wrong. We have no apologies thei
to make or excuses to offer. thei
The militia was called to Darlington "sp
to keep the peace and net to protect thewa
spies any more than any one else, and con
they should have gone. denc
The Herald and News is a friend to and
Columbia, and would delight in her
prosperity, but that friendship will not
prevent us fromt criticising the actions
of her citizens when we think the crdt- of t
icism is deserved. lina
There is much more we might say,
but we can see no good to come from it.
We have said this much so that those
who may have doubt as to our positionB
may know just where we stand. .De

Gov. Tiliman issued a proclamation as ii
on April 5, declaring that there was no if ac
longer an insurrection in the counties
of Darlington and Florence. In it he Gi
says the -'Commanding General has sour
just informed me that the insurgents witl
have dispersed." Gen. Farley reached be
Darlington Saturday, March 31, and at 18963
once notified the Governor that there Soul
was noinsurrectiont at Darlingtonl at that deni
time. That no troops were needed and
that the civil authorities were able to
preserve the peace. There is a discre
pancy here. Some one is either mis- Ee3
taken or there has been a misunder
standing of some kind somewhere.
We publish this week a very calm G<
and complete review of the situation at h
Darlington by Gen. Butler. He went h
over there and personally saw the rc
state of affairs. We invite every one intat
to read it. Sa

Sun1
If Governor Tillman will curb his Cor

se govern him before emergencies wh
ie there need be no more emergen- are
and if people on our side will do pac
same, be governed by conservatism its
look at both sides of questions be- ne,
acting we will soon be in far better she
pe than we now are. Moderate peo- sec
may get together on a basis of foil
tual concession of prejudices and th
rests, without sacrifices of principle, anc
trolled by common patriotism, and ma
troubles of the prseent time may cof
z be over and extremists powerless or
lo harm. As it is they have unli- Dre
ed power and, too d?ten, complete to

CotiniA, S. C., April S.--Gov. ofI
'illnan to-day gave a surprising in- oer
erview to the press. I read to the
lovernor an extract from a letter from1.
Populist, which he had received, in
rhich the writer said that the only o
bing he did not admire about the ty,
rovernor's political course so far was
bat he did not have the moral cour- Th
ge to come out squarely and call him
!lf a Populist. I then asked the Gov
rnor if tie had seen all the references
iade to him by the Northern press as
ie Populist Governor. -
Governor Tillman rose and walked up
ud down. His eye flashed fire, and in
ie most determined manner he said:
Yes, they call me a Populist. I will
.ll them that I am the truest repre
mtative of Jeffersonian Democracy
