A large crowd was present, but, as the Con servatives took absolutely no interest in the meeting and did not attend to any extent and as Oats is a stronghold of Tillman ism, the audience was largely in favor of the Governor’s can didature for the Senate. A num ber of ladies were present and the meeting passed off without any trouble occurring. The candidates for State offices spoke first, but the greatest in terest seemed to centre in the Senatorial canvass. We give our readers an account of the speeches of Tillman and Butler as abridged from the report made in the News and Courier: Tne next speaker was Gover nor Tillman. Most of them had come to hear him and him only, and he got a great reception. The chairman announced his name without further comment than that he was a candidate for the United States Senate. The cheering which started when he came forward was pro longed for a minute or so. He said that in 1886 he had been requested to address the good people of Darlington. He then met them for the first time. They were oppressed then and in awe of the old Court House ring. He had told them how they could control the Conven- non. They followed his advice and they did it. [Applause ] He had begun lately to think that he had mighty little to do with the “Reform” Movement. John Gary Evans claimed to have funded the State debt Mr. Tin- dal to have built Clemson Col lege, and Ellerbe to have done something else. He wanted to know what he had to do with it anyhow. [Laughter and ap plause.] He was glad to see the ladies there. He was sorry that the meeting had not been held in Darlington, first, because he would have to show those peo ple he was not afraid to go there, and secondly, because he might have beaten some sense into them. [Cheers and laugh ter.] However as they had brought the meeting to the peo pie he would not complain. A voice: “WeareailTillman- ites out here.” Tillman: “You really don’t mean to say there are no Butler men around here, do you?” A voice: “There a>-e only a few, and they are sour.” Well, he continued, he had come to ask them to send him to the Senate. The speaker was thereupon interrupted by loud cheering, interspersed with such yells as, “We’ll do it!” “You are the man'” “That’s right!” and finally, one enthusiastic as surance concluding, “Or to the White House either.” Continu ing, he said that when they elected him Governor they had put him in charge of a very un ruly team. They all knew how the Antis had been putting stumps and rocks in his road. He had tried tu do his duty. He could say, in the presence of his Maker, that he had done noth ing that he did not believe to be right. [Cheers.] Butler had in some of his speeches ridiculed the idea of his drawing up before the Cap itol in his ox team. He was go ing to be in the van of the fight for the people’s rights. He would have nothing to do with the millionaires. He believed he was pure, and he knew they were rotten. [Cheers.] He spoke of the wrongs which the people had suffered at the hands of the Republican party. [While he was doing so a voice cried out: “But the Democrats have done worst of all.”] When Cleveland was elected the first time the fact that the Senate was Republican had handicapped him. The last time they had strained themselves nearly to death when voting for him. A Voice: “I didn’t do it.” The speaker went on. They had a right to expect something. What had they gotten? He dis played to the crowd a little book labelled. “What Congress has Done,” and containing nothing but blank pages. The book was wrong. They had done some thing. Democratic rascality had done much to rivet the shackles upon the people. To day the Democratic party was dead. A voice: “Dead as Hector.” Tillman: And who killed it?” A voice: “Grover Cleveland,” a sentiment which seemed to find a hearty endorsement. He referred to the veto of the seigniorage bill. He did not believe it could be right for a man to set his own views up against the will of the people. He himself had never done it. Cleveland was standing cheek by jowl with John Sherman, the head devil of the Republi can party. [Cheers.] They had heard a great dea about the relief that would be obtained from a revision of the tariff. That was all “riot,” he said. There was but one pos sible relief—more money. If they got more money they could stand the tariff. [Applause.] About this time quite an ex citement arose. Governor Till man had reverted to his charge that a corruption fund had been raised for Butler. Why, he said, they have come down here to buy your Senatorship. The money is being disbursed through the counties by men selling medicines or flour or one thing or another. [Applause.] Voices: “There is one in this county,” followed by repeated exclamations of “Waddill! Waddill!” J. M. Waddill, the man refer red to, appearing at the corner of the platform said: “Governor Tillman, you claim to be an honest and brave man. You have made the most unjust charges against me. I ask ten minutes in which to reply.” A considerable commotion immediately ensued. Men in the crowd were yelling and the people on the stand jumped up, many of them walking over to J et a better view of Mr. Wad- ill. Governor Tillman, in the meantime, was saying that he had no objection to Mr. Wad- dill’s speaking, after which he reminded Mr. Waddill that he had not called his name; it was the crowd that did it. Quiet was restored in a few minutes and Governor Tillman continued his address. He did not believe they could be bought. [Cheers.] But they had to watch as well as pray. After quiet had been entirely restored he said that the candidates for Governor, were not discussing the dispensary question exactly to suit him, so he was going to talk about it some himself. His argument supporting the con stitutionality of the dispensary has been given before and is well known. One of the charges that hau been made was that private houses had been search ed. Had they ever searched any. Voices: “No, no!” Tillman: “Two, two only.” Then he branched off on the Darlington war and the failure of the militia to respond to his oall. Half a dozen men from the crowd yelled an assurance that he could get, all he wanted. Tillman: “I got plenty.” He had called on the wool-hat boys. He told them that they had put him in office and they had to sustain him, and in a few hours he had to telegraph to many of them that he had all the men he wanted and they must not come. He was sur prised that the people in that section had not gotten their backs up sooner than they did. He wanted to discuss the sub ject on its merits. He explained how the division of the profits had been made. The people and not the barkeepers got them. A Voice; “Don’t give the town any of the profits.” Tillman: “Oh, yes, for they drink some of the whiskey.” Here followed a running dia logue between the speaker and the crowd in which the latter said that the barkeepers always made their liquor of red pepper and tobacco. The former said some of them did not and the latter wanted Darlington shut out of any share of the profits from the dispensary. Governor Tillman then had something to say about the dis pensary constables. He laid much blame on Sumter. The constables had been treated so there in the rery beginning that he had had to select men for the positions that he would not otherwise have chosen. There was a great deal of talk about high license nowa days. High license was just a monopoly. It enabled the rich barkeeper to freeze out the poor ones, and when they had one it to sell any kind of “rot gut” they saw fit. Will yon have back the dispensary in prefer ence to this kind of thing? A voice: “Yes, git it to us,” He then took up the decision of the Court, whereupon some one yelled “we don’t care for the Court.” The people, said the speaker, where the source of all power and were consequently higher than Courtsor Legislatures. Voice: “Turn those old Anti- Judges out.” Tillman: “Ah! that is tho point. If we had turned them out, as we ought have done, this would not have occurred.” Governor Tillman conclu led his speech by saying that he did not want the white people divi ded, and if they did it meant negro supremacy. There was long continued cheering after he sat down. gen. butler was the next SPEAKER. When he came forward there was an evident disposition to howl him down. The cheers for Tillman continued, and the crowd hurled all kind of re marks at him. He stood for a full minute eying them before he spoke. He had, he said, al ways heard—in fact, always known—that the people of Dar lington were a noble and gallant people. At Bennettsville the candidates had been asked to speak to the issues. He had complied with that request, but Tillman had made a bitter at tack on him. He had on a former occasion denounced some of his asser tions as false, and he saw that he was going to have to do it again. He wanted to involve no outside and innocent parties in trouble but whenever Govern or Tillman had to call him to account, and would do so, he could always get a re sponse. Tillman had said he was going to discuss the issues, but had he done it? With few exceptions there was not a ref erence to the issues in his speech. Tillman had called him “Coxey Butler.” Voices: “That’s your name,” followed by an increase of the noise with which some of the crowd had been attempting to drown out Gen. Butler’s voice. Gen. Butler said he had noth ing to do with those people go ing to Rock Hill. He had not as much to do with it as Till man did. He, too, wanted to say some thing about the dispensary. He had looked over the accounts and found a discrepancy in the reports of $19,000. [A voice: “That’s not so.”] Tillman had said it was a typographical er ror. Surely the State had paid high enough for its printing to have it done correctly. Just here the crowd made a more than usually uproarious effort to interrupt the speaker. Senator Butler shouted to them that thev could not howl him down. Governor Tillman got up and would have tried to quiet them, but Gen. Butler declined any assistance. He had the floor, he said, and he was going to hold it. For the next ten minutes it was impossible to keep up with what he said. Half a dozen men in the crowd were talking off and on all the time. General Butler generally got the best of it in the debate, and the crowd began to get more chary of bandying words with him. After touching on the New- bold matter he reverted to the dispensary. He had in his hand the reports that had been issued. Governor Tillman had said there was no shortage. He (Butler) had had the reports ex amined by one of the most ex pert accountants in Columbia, and any way you looked at it there was a shortage of $7,514 55. Mr Tom Martin here called out to ask Gen. Butler would he explain his vote on the anti-op tion bill. Gen. Butler; “I thank you, sir for the opportunity you af ford me, I voted for an amend ment to that bill that, if it had become law, would have placed you or any other man who speculated in wheat or cotton in the penitentiary.” The laugh was decidedly on Martin, as he had expected a very different reply. Going on with his dispensary discussion he referred to Till man’s having spent mo e than the appropriation. There had been a great deal of talk about education. It was all nonsense so long as the chief barkeeper drew a salary of $3,000 and the Superintendant of Educati >n was paid but $2,100. He wanted to have Governor Tillman answer these questions when his time came: At the time the dispensary opened in July, 1893, did you not have on hand $98,321 worth of stock in whiskey, wine, bot tles, ets? As there was $50,000 appro priated to start the business, did you not exceed the appropria tion $42,321 before a dollar’s worth of liquor was sold? Was the excess paid for, if so where did the money come from; if not, you bought on a credit and what right did you have to purchase goods for the State on credit? Did you not expect to saddle the debt without authority on the taxpayers by reccomenda- tion to the Legislature? Have you not now seventy five men engaged and sixty- eight store houses rented for which salaries and rent are paid and does it not take six thous and dollars every month to pay for the same? Could not one store house and two men hold and guard the supply on hand? What decame of the per cent rebate allowed every quarter on all whiskey brought from firms in the Liquor Trust, (the trust in which the Mill Creek Distill ery is,) and do not you know that the Germau-Amerijan Bank, of Peoria, Ills, sends checks for the rebates allowed to'all merchants purchasing from the trust ? Why is there not a statement in your State dispenser’s report of the aggregate amounts of these rebates ? And as there is not, where is the money collec ted on the thousands of gallons ?
