Evans was Standarad hi Ragard to tha Charga About Saying Tillman had Unad hit Pockets with Dispen sary Rabatas'-National Politics. Senator Tillman arrived ip Colombia yesterday morning. How tha Vote Stands. TILLMAN HANDS OFF. After Senator Tillman had held all his conferences and had had a hasty final talk with Gov ernor Rvnns. he went to the anion depot to 'leave for his home in Trenton on the l o’clock train. It was there with no one to interrupt that a represent* tive of the State asked Senator Tillman for a dictated state ment as to his attitude in this tight and he gave it, he sub- is what he said’ “I don’t coneider the people so lacking in common sense and the ’realisation of their duty to themselves and those they have honored to need any ad vice or dictation from me. I have had nothing to do with the fight up to this time, and ex pect to take no band in it now. Motwiatanding this the oppo sition press are clairoingRyane’ failure to be nominated on the first ballot as a victory over ‘bossism/'vand if be is defeated l suppose it will be considered A victory over Tillmanifcln. “1 shall only make Allusion to one phase of the fight, and that is tb 'dxpress unquMinedly my belief that he' (Ivifcbs) has been grossly slandered'in more particulars than ope, but espe cially In the charge which Dun can sstys Mixon makes'. I don’t behove he ever said anything of the or e\er thought that I got any whiskey rebates. And if snf of toy friends havt resented this sppposed attack Than has been a great deal Of ^quently reading it over. Here speculation as to what he was going to do in the matter of the second primary for the United States Senatorship and natural ly politicians were on the qui vive. He went to the mansion, but during the day came to the State House. T!.e meeting of the executive committee having brought men prominent in poli tics from all over the State to the city, the Senator held e kind of informal reception of them in the Governor’s office and in the lobby. When seen by a Register re porter the Senator was sur rounded by a crowd to whom he was telling his experiences in, Pennsylvania and the pros pects for the election of Bryan and Sewall. As toon as. he could he pulled away from them he was asked to say soinething about State politics. Re 'ttas asked ^rhat 1 he thought of the result of the recent primary and b e replied: “It looks like mud. slinging has'bad its effect m'demoralising or hypnotising the Refbitn forces. About 20, 000 'did not vote at all, wasn’t itP' Some one asked him wheth er he would have anything to say before the primary, but be replied that be would not, be cause there would be no meet ings at which-he could talk. He said he was going to rest at home and await orders of the national committee as to where he should go next. He was asked specifically whether he proposed to take any hand in the forthcoming contest: “I have never seen any occasion to meddle in this fight or to presume to advise the peo ple how they should vote, and I do not think at this late date it is obligatory on me to take a hand.” It was suggested that even if he kept “hands off” he might “use his mouth” at wjhich he laughed, but said: “l feel, how ever, that it is a duty to the people for me to .My that if any men have been influenced by the charge that Gov. Evans said I. had “lined my pockets with Dispensary rebates,” they should be undeceived. I stop ped while in this city at the mansion as his guest and friend I have never had the slightest faith in the charge, and do not believe he said it. I have always believed it a slander from start to finish and without any foun dation. I believe the people know I have too much self-re spect to associate with any man whom I believed made any such charges against me. I don’t believe he ever thought it, much less said it ” Referring to a despatch pub lished from Washington yester day in which he was quoted as saying he would Rave nothing to do with the raceln this State, he said he had seen nobody ex cept th© secretary of the Ration al* committee in Washington and ha<rhot talked to any man about the Senatorial race in thift State. ^ * NATIONAL POLITICS. Senator Tillman said that he had noticed in the East a spirit of earnest inquiry among the people who wanted to learn and all that was needed was for this desire to be cultivated. One trouble was that most of the newspapers were against silver and it Was hard to get in formation to the people. When he left Pennsylvr.uia, he said two had waited on him to make speeches in certain parts of the State and besides he had receiv ed three telegrams making the same request. As to the effects of Watson’s candidacy he said that he did pot believe the pros pects of the Democracy would oe injured in the West, where fusion has already been accom pliahed'where it was necessary The only trouble would come from North Carolina, Georgia, and Tevaa. He denounced as a lie the story which has been going the rounds to the effect that be had pffered Watson the promise of a (cabinet josition hi case he withdrew. ,, F Tillman left yester- n for bis home at -Register. the Evans forces seem to be somewhat demoralized by the unexpected revolution of the backwoods. But they have be- I dun to work for their favorite ‘ fin the coming election which is now only eight days off. It is safe to nay that the friends of the governor will leave no stone unturned to poll out as large a vote as possible and to make it go the way they desire. It was generally understood yesterday afternoon that there was to be a conference of friends of the governor from each coun ty held here last week. It may have been held. The State did not trouble to see whether it was or not. Certain it is that Sheriff Holly, A. W. Jones. J. D. M. Shaw, of Laurens, Prof essor Merchant and a great many other of the friends of Governor Evans were in the city last night. It is proper that Evans should make every effort to save himself, from a final defeat for the sen- ip'sblf tdsbedt td'haTe been as somaiid^ with hhh on terms of intimacy and accenting his hos pitality during the whole time he has.been'governor.’* ' •i ’•> , N.rr.m, IT SOBPWABD HIM. When Senator Tillman was asked about the result of the first primary, he said: “Well, I’m a little surprised as to the election, both as to its general results and the result in certain localities.” “To what do you attribute the result?” wap M^ed. “I think Hr- Duncan’s mud- flinging aqd the jealousies and antagonisms which have grown up between the governor and some pronSinent Reformers have contributed more largely than anything else. Then, the issues of the campaign have been made almost entirely personal rather than political, disgusting the people and causing a very light vote.” THIS RESULT AS DECLARED. The following table gives ab solutely correct the vote for United States senator as declar ed by the executive committee, it will be seen that Evans has 38, 802 votes as against 39,429 for the other two candidates, giving them 027 votes more man Evans received. But here is the declared result.: Evans., Earle Not that we love Earle more, but Evans less.

It seems to be very cer tain that a larger vote will be polled on the second primary than was developed by the first. The prediction is made freely that the vote will be heavier than it was in the Till- man-Sheppard election. — The State. VALES ’08 IVY M SSiNQ.

Senator Tillman was at one time taught by Miss Annin Arthur, a sister of ^President Arthur, who was governess in the Tillman family when the senator was a boy. During President Arthur's admiui .ira tion this lady re-visited the scenes of her early days in South Carolina and spent several weeks with the family of then “Farmer” Tillman at the old estate. This estate lies at about thirteen miles distance from Augusta, Ga. Here Senator Tillman was born fifty years ago and has lived ever since, except two years spent in Florida. His father was a slave and land owner and the family lived in the lap of luxury be fore the war. After the war, however, the family, like the majority of others in the South, became “land poor.” The great great graud-father of the sen ator came from near Strasburg, Germany, and so was German The name was then spelled Tilghman.” There is fur niture still in the family that came from Strasburg. The senator’s great-grandmother was Irish. He has also Hugue not blood in his veins.—Spring- field Republican. Tvtal 38,802 81,092 THE COUNTIES EVANS CARRIED. An examination of the above table shows some significant things. The following table shows that Governor Evans was beaten but in 18 counties. Evans. Downed hie Firet Deer. Our fellow townsman, Mr. W.

There were lively times about the executive chamber yester day when it became khowii that a second race was an aloolute certainly. Dozens of men, politicians of all kinds and styles could be seen. Gov- and eruor Evans’ friends and Gov- Now, Judge, lenior Evans’ himself ee*n*d to remember* i be a Utile worried otter the out- l^ome of the election. In fact Came from General R- E. Lee'a Grave end Hat Baen Stolen. The class ivy planted by Yale, ’96, which caused strife during commencement week because it was taken from the grave of General Robert E. Lee, has mysteriously disappeared from its resting place by the wallc of the university library. The discovery was made by a party of southern men who happened to he visiting in New Haven and having read of the excite ment caused by the planting of the Lee ivy, determined to pay a visit to the scene. The college authorities do not know how to account for the disappearauce of the ivy and think that it was probably taken by relic hunters. Nothing ap pears to be known regarding the disappearance of the ivy by those in authority at the uni versity. The tiny twig trans- S lanted about two months ago ad taken kindly to its new lo cation. and despite the cool manner in which it was receiv ed thrived and a few days ago was observed to be developing into a strong, healty vine. Sev eral members of the faculty, who were in New Haven at- tenuing the funeral of the late Professor Newton, said that the removal of the ivy was no doubt the work of relic hunters. The general impression, how ever, is that the ivy was stolen by some person to whom its origin was objectionable. The first public notice given to the origin of the ivy was at the dedication of the Woolsey statue, whan the Rev. Dr. Twitchell spoke of it in his speech. No action will be taken in the matter until the class triennial meeting, which will be held here in 189'.). A prominent reformer who does not live in this county told a member of The Post’s staff two days ago that he had been in Columbia and that he had learned that beyond a doubt the presence of R. M. Mixson, whiskey commissioner, at the Barnwell meeting was pre ar ranged. He said that had Evans dared deny Duncan’s statements as to what Ihani- had said of Tillman's filling his pockets out ot the dispensa ry, Mixson would have given him the lie. Mixson and Dun can are said to have occupied the same seat in a car on their journey from Columbia to Barn well. It becomes more and more iarent that Evans charged man with dish mesty and if Evans will not answer the charges against himself, he should at least substantiate or withdraw those aimed by him at Tillman.—Charleston Post.
