The whole I thing 6zz!ed out at Blackville into a muss bot ween Tillman and a newspaper reporter, who Tillman said had the power of making the nest Governor. After due consideration the reporter ought-to forgive the Captain thc issue raised between them on the ?core of making the -little reporter.5 cs thc Captain caiied him, the Warwick of South Carolina politics. It isn't every man who can make a Governor, as Capt. Ben. himself has found out. Ile is always going to do it nest time, but he never gets there. Smoothing Down Bo+Ii Sides. Greenvil lc Entererise. Political matters have leon lively in this State daring the past week. The presence of Mr. 15 lt. Tillman at the meetings appointed by the Slate Demo? cratic Executive Committee, at which j Gov. Hicbardscu and Lieut Gov. M&uldin, candidates for re-election, ap? peared and nade speeches, bave added much interest to the discussions. Good, we think, will follow. After what has been said by both sides, it is. for the people to say whether or 'not the party now ia power is extravagant in its ex? penditures, or is as economical as it could be. We repeat, these discussions, wi!! do no harm. Wc have no sympathy with anyone who falsely charges any man with cor? rupt practices ; but it is best for the people to look closely into tho menner in which their public matter? are ad? ministered, and to let every public ofi? cial know that he is not above critici~ra. no matter how high his character mr.y be. Sometimes mistakes are made, but a just public sentiment will ever vindi? cate and sustain an honest man. Tillman's Campaign and ibo Polit . cal Situation in South Carolina. Granville Xars. Some geed people iu Charleston have just learned what the Greenville News iincw and orged -ive years ego : il)".' tho State was on tho brink of a volcano, that unrest and anger were widespread aiiici'i tho people at large, and that jniy a bold leader who would give voir: and shape to public feeling was needed to bring on us an explosion. The danger .is past. Tho leader has come. Lut in? stead of leading a revolt against the Democratic party, he has led a Hr.ht in? side- the party lines. Ben Titi m an C"-uid have been a Mahon... The con? ditions were herc as they were Vir? ginia. We had the same disregard of public feelings and rights by the ruling clement, the same tendency to recall the evils that infested our political systems before the war. But wc are going to fight and destroy those conditions with their evils and dangers with the ptirty machinery and inside the party lines, i t may not be this year, or next year, but we arc going to do it. Tho man l? for the work has been forced to the front ; ho has roused the people and they are with him from ono euJ of the J State to tho other. His leadership ha? i been awkward, his political pjanage- ! mont a failure; he has been fooled an;! j blinded and tricked as thoroughly as ? a countryman was over tricked hy a thimble-rigging fakir. But he knows and toils what the people feel and need. Even in Charleston, the home of con? servatism, where little is known of tho feeling outside, the people who had heard cf Ben Tillman only as a bad. dangerous, selfish and ignorant boor. ! who had known of him only as au ob- j j-et of abuse and ridicule, understood i what he meant and represented and were with him. 11 i s r o ail o ter tb e State T h e s : g r s are everywhere.

With? out him there is no doubt the matter can be harmoniously arranged between the State and the trustees of Mr. Clem? son's will for the estubiihhmcnt of the college.

The canvass throughout bas been characteristic of ono thing, viz : the lack of enthusiasm and interest commensu? rate with its importance. The meetings' have not been largely attended. With one exception. Mr. Tillman has at? tended all of tbe meetings, and on every occasion reiterated his charges against the State government. Several of the meetings have Leen a disgrace to the Democratic party of the State, and no' doubt?reminded many voters of the ral? lies of the Republican* prior to the days oflST?. Ttie meeting at Charleston last Friday night wa* the largest of the campaign, and while Mr. Tillman was speaking some coe kicked a bass drum;, so^-.e one else cried ont. 'Earthquake,' and the crowd stampeded. Several per? sons wcr^ trampled upon and seriously hurt, and manv of the audience had* their hats and coats torn off This lit? tle scare about broke up the meeting."
