Earle, is taken from the Charleston World. The report is taken from that paper for the reason that it is understood to be the mouthpiece of Capt. Tillman, and we want to give our readers as near as possible an authentic report from his standpoint of his speech. The ?peech of Gen Earle, while in a more abbre? viated form, and reported by a Tillman organ, with the "trimmings" to suit, yet contains points that should command the serious consideration of all voters. We regret that our space does not admit of the publication of the speeches of souse of the others who followed : Gen. Biatton was introduced first. He spoke, as usual, of the Federal gov? ernment's enoiity, the election law, the uselessness of the reform movement, and such things as the reading public are familiar with in his speeches lie was-listened to very respectfully, but there was no demonstration. The peo? ple were waiting for the lions of the day and harboring their strength for shouting later. CAPT. B. R. TILLMAN. Chairman G ai l ?ard introduced as the next speaker Capt B R. Tillman, who said : Mr. Chairman and fellow-citizens of Sumter-but I really do not think Sum? ter has got auy claim to all of you. [A voice : "Go to-Confusion aud cheers ] A few years ago, on this very spot, I had the honor and the pleasure of ad? dressing you Sumter people. I came to you labeled as a demagogue [Cries of "Hight, correct'] When you saw and looked at me you knew the accusa? tions were false. [ No, no, no "] Some time ago I met a drummer from the upper counties who is a strong auti Tillmaa man and he was a gentleman. ["We ali are."] [Mr. T?lmau ahook his head as indi? cative of questioning the claim thus made, and said : "Show it by hushing, then"] Continuing, he said : This drummer bad been to two or three meetings in the up country, and saw how ?he Tillman freshet was moving on down the country. [ *It aiut here."] Capt Tillman smiled, aud the crowd gave vent to cheers and hurrahs for the different candidates. Gen Earle advanced to the front, and a shout of "hurrah for Earle'' was immediately taken up and prolonged into de? fen i og applause Gen. Earle said : L t me ask all my friends in this audien e as a special favor to myself to j give Capt Tillman, as well as the other j speakers who will address you to-day, a most respectful hearing. The "au? dience" responded, "We wiil do it," 4 Send him back to E grfield," ' Put a tag ou him and ship him V Capt.' Tillman, resuming-This drummer, who had boen attending .intue of these big Tillman meetings in the up country, said : "Don't fool yourselves ; j Jst wait until you get in God's country, and you Vriii see a change." [- Right about that.'] If you wilt be quiet aud hear me fi>r my cause, I shall thank you : if you do uot waut to hear me, i shall also thank you. as it will save me the labor cf makins you a speech [Voices : Hear him' hear him **] You have the name of "Game Cock county,''* and in looking in the eyes of this audience I believe you are true Carolinians, and have to> much self-re? spect and two much bravery to howl down any man. [Cheers ] Put stop? pers iu your Earle bottles, and put iu your Tillman stoppers, too ; for I know lots of them are here. Two years azo I was sent hers by the executive com? mittee of the farmers to discuss the issuas theo Cgitating the public mind. Governor ltrcbardsou was the culy candidate iu the ?i?d for the office of ? governor, and inn is the first time in I the histnry of Sumter county when the people have had the opportunity to see | the candidates for State eSieers face to face, and hear them discuss the issues. [Cries for E.rle ] Now what did they holler "Earle" for just then? [Laughter.] I sowed some Tillman seed in this enanty, ami while you have threats to hollow for Earle, I know there are more Tillman men in Sumter county thau there are Earle men. [Cries for Eirle aud Til!'nan ] Col Earle again stepped to the front to quiet the crowd. Col Earle-you have heard me many times before. Let me ask you again as a special favor to myself, to hear Capt. Tillman patiently and respect? fully. [ 'We wili hear bim "] Tillman continuing-What does this grand out pouring cf the people of the the 6'ato mean; this up-rir-iug, ibis turmoil and this excitement? ["You waut oiiice.''] Do you waut one? [**No"J. That is a pitiful tale. ? am 43 years old, and uever asked for one yet.

Tillman-1 came here in obe? dience to tue order of the Democratic Executive committee to discuss the issues. [Cries for Earle, Earle]. Capt 'i'iiimau-You are so afraid I will poke some Tillman down your throat you won't hear me. [Hurrah for Tillman.] What does this uprising j meau ? [ -Earle, Earle," "Tillman," j "Earle.'* j Gentlemen, there are some mighty good sneakers to speak yet ; better than I I am, but- you cannot hear them until | you hear mo speak. [Cheers) They j are hollering for Earle, but will put iu j the ballots for Tillman. What is it that is shaking South j Carolina from centre to circumference ; ? w" it is the cause of this uprising of the ! people? [Cries of TillmaD."] Capt. Tillman-No sir ; Tillman has been the instrument, the engineer ? pei haps ; out the real fact is thai you j want to govern yourselves. Your rjov-I ifjjC'BcaM.'a.TA a-^- ? ???? - - ? ? ? - ern ment has been run by a Rii [Cries: ?.Tillman, Tillman." ? Earle, Toa will have to swallow me whet you want to or not. The Democrs jonvention is going to fix up anotl slate and Earle wont be on it. [Ci fusion.] You have got to swallow me, and will tell you why you ought to swall a>e. In the first place, I repeat tl South Carolina has never had a Repi lican government, or a true Democ jy. You have uever had a tru^ Deu sracy in this State-haven't got it no [Confusion ] You like oligarchy, aristocrac [Voice : "I like 76."] Under t constitution of '65 thc government ih'is State has been controlled by a f< men. The Legislature elected st! ..{ncers and elected electors and said he masses, the people, that you wc aot fit to govern yourselves because y j?ere not competent. At this point Capt Tillman turn ?round to Col. Earle aod said : ' Co! iel, here's a negro out here hollerii or you " Col Earle-He's a good Democra ?Ye had eight or ten with us in '7 ind they have heeo with us ever siuc "Hurrah for Earle *'] Capt Tillman-Before the war yt ?iud'? have any Democracy, and I ua^ ?bown you that since thfi war you sti ?aveu't got it. Why? Because, whe roar county convention is called i >^nd delegates to Columbia, two-thin ur three-fourths of the farmers in th ;ounty are plowing and attending t heir priva'e affairs, and a few politic henchmen meet and nominate theu ?elves to go to the convention. [Cot usioc ] No use to deny the truth. I've bee hese, and know how it works. Your county convention meets, con )oscd cf these del gates, who sen ieiigatps to Columbia, and they ai .euer&lly composed <-f the C>urt Ilouj [ling or clique. [Applause.] A voice-Why don't you tun by pr nary ? Capt. Tillman-I am ronni og by pr nary We are going to have it in thi ;ouuty. Every man is goiog to !ur ?ut and vote for me wheu you ele( lelftgates. Your State convention meets and i wice removed from the people ls that Democracy? ["No."] Voice-U gave us hamptuu. Capt Tillman-No it didu'i give yo Hampton. Hampton was sent by Go ;o relieve the people. Voice-Hampton was a liberator. Capt. Tillman-Wait until the elec ion ih over; maybe you will say I ai i liberator, too. Hampton liberate! pu from negro rule, and I will libera? fou from your white bosses. [Cheers What, has been the result of thi .ystem'i [\ voice: "Put him on ie .nd ship hun North "'] Utter stagna ion and party tyranny. A few mei :iave controlled the government ao< .anded it down iu succession to men o ;heir owu way of thinking The voie )f the masses has been stifled. [Cheers The Farmers' association four year igo made certain demands. [A voice "Thc Farmers* Association is not Soutl Caroliua by a long shot "] Capt. Tillman-The Farmers' Asso station comes nearer being South Caro lina than the Ring in Culutnbiu. Wi ask f d for a college. Did we get it' Yes ; after four years of fighting for it We demanded reduction cf salaries we demanded economy in the govern ment; did we get it? ["No.**] A voi3e-flow is it you want $3,50C as governor ? Tillman-Who said it? Mr Voice-You said it at Newberry, so reported by the News and Courier. Tillman-You know the News anc Couritr never did tell the truth on me. [Addressing the crowd, which had be? come very noisy ] You are all white men and Democrats, and I wish yoi would hush I want to bring forward the indict? ment against the state government. an?3 you wou't let me do it. 1 will show you how they have been running it.

I make the charge-[Pandemonium and cries for 4 Eitle," and music bj the band j Give me a few minutes, will vou t This is a case the people of South Caro? lina have got to decide between Bratten, E irle and Tillman. Coll Earle ( M? dressing tho crowd) Hear his indictment ; I will reply to it. Capt Tilliuan-1 have accused thc state government of being mu by a ring, or clique, which 1MS ii* head? quarters in Charleston and Columbia, and 1 want to show you some of their iniquities. [ *You cannot prove ii r] Yes, I can and will prove it Thc first charge that ? bring is that they have robbed the Democrats of their just representation in the legi.-lature. In 1885 the legislature found itself con? fronted by the provision of the consti? tution requiring the census to be taken, (he representation to he made according to the population Let me show you how they have robbed you, the county of Sumter in 1880, with its 37.U0? population. [Cries for Ea: le J ? know you couldn't stand the physic. But you have only ten delegates to the state convention, and four representa lives to the general assembly. The county of Richland, with 29.000 has twelve, tv.o that belong to you, and you have been robbed of your rights. [Cheers ] They Oave trampled the constitu'ion under foot and certain men have per? jured themselves in doing it. It is the same way with Edge-field. We are entitled to six representatives and four? teen delegates to the State Convention. They robbed Spartanburg, they have robbed Greenville, they have robbed Marlboro and Laurens, and Charleston has live more than belongs to her. No man en:? dispute it.

[Voice : "What pei pleT'] Tillman-The legislature ; the R:n is the thing I am indicating. In 1SS they passfd a law giving the railroa commissioners power to regulate freigh traffic aud passengers. The very ne*3 session they turned around and ate the own word;?. They were bamboozle arid debauched to do it. The railroa commissioners went on for six yeai with no power but merely to draw the salaries. Voice-When you are goverooi won't they have the same power I bamboozle and debauch them ? Tillman-No! Voice-Why not ? Tillman-B .-cause 1 will be there t watch them. I want every man i South Carolina to watch me. If yo can 6:,d anything wrong, say so. have been living for forty-three year? and I dare you or any other man t point to anything on my escutcheon t stain my record. [Cheers ] In 188(3, after this railroad cocamii sion for six years had nothing to do bc draw their salary, the legislature rc enacted a law and we tried for a ne^ election, but what did the senate do rhat citadel of the ring ? [Voice : "A! farmers "J Tilimau-No, sir; mostly lawyers thank God. They simply said w wou't hold any election ; we must kee these old fellows iu. There was a bi: introduced there at the last session c the legislature to divide the races ; hav one coach for whites and another fo negroes.

Voice - Why didn't you make titi charge against Ancrum yesterday. Tillman - I didn't have an opportu city to make it. I do not accuse Mr Ancrum of any dishonorable act. A Voice - You were at Camden yes terday. Tillman-Yes, but I was howlct down by the most outrageous mob ever saw. [Cries of "hurrah fo Camden." Tillman-By just s O': h fellows a; you.

Tillman-The farmers fixed on En for a caudidat.e. We knew he said wouldn't be our candidate, bet we didi know he wouldn't accept if the poof asked his services. The coosequen was. after a ballot was taken, wh there was no chance, our hands bei: tied, his own brother withdrew 1 name. The farmers found themselv tricked-somebody tricked them. Voices-Who is "somebody" Tillman-I don't know. Voices-Earle acted the gentlema sir. Tillman-We swore by the etcrc gods that the next time we would go the plantation and get a simon pure fa mer. The Shell manifesto called March convention, and it nominated m I stand here to-day seeking the office governor, not of my own volition, b a* the standard bearer of this new co vent-ion that thought I was a prop man to lead the fight.

When Col. Eirle 1 able to make himself heard he said : My Fellow Citizens : I am sorry see so much excitement here, beca I had hoped that I would have the portunity to reply to Capt.

You h: heard him, and know what he sa and I leave it to your judgment to : whether or not he has not slande this State. ["He has."

Col.

I think thc Citadel academy has done as much, if not more for the boys of llr.s State than any other insti j tution. [Cheers. J Every man yon bring to your county who is educated assists, in increasing the intelligence of the county. The common schools should be supported. J am glad that in this town au additional tax has been levied for the support of schools, and I wish every town and village in the State would do likewise, because the people cannot spend their money to better advantage than educating their children. If every man in South Carolina now was educated, there would not be so much excitement ("Wouldn't be any Tillaianites" Cheers.) Col. Karie alluded to Capt. Tillman's attack on the agricultural department and defended the institution', saying he thought the agricultural department bad benn of great importance to the State, j and that, with reference to the collection j of royaly on phosphate, it had done a handsome work ; that when the depart? ment took charge cf the phosphate in? terest of the State there was about ?61,000 collected; and now there was over ?'220.000. Tillman says abolish [ it, why ? ["Hurrah for B ?rle "] Un ! der his iofiueoce it was reorganized, and j I understood he was a candidate for a j position on that board, but he v/as not elected. You have as good and true men as you have io the State on that board, and if other farmers are put on ic they will not be able io Jo any more for 3 ou than these gentlemen have done [Cheers.] Tillman does not love the farmers any more than I do. Some of the best friends I have in the world are farmers. [Tremendous cheering.] Tillman has five or six lawyers on his ticket, but be says. **0, weil, ? am head of the ticket, and the head will wag the tail." If I were on his ticket, as attorney general, or elected to that c-ffi ;e under his administration, there would be one part of it he woul lnJc wag. [Cheers ] I do not believe he is going to wag Pope. I invite criticisms to my public record. The State has had abler attorney gen? erals than I, but I have done my duty, and I want to see any man who can lock me in the face and show me where? in I have been derelict. Ile can't do it. Gen. Earle then took up the Pacific guano case and stated the result of the suit was to recover over ?100,000 worth of property for the State ; that the judgment recovered for over ?70, 000 was compromised for ?53,000, every dollar of which bas been account el for. [Cheers.] He teils you about thc penitentiary not being sslf sustaining. ["Tillman ought to be in j the penitentiary.-' ] I am one who J don'c think it should be an institution j to make money for the State. I think I it should be self-sustaining, and only self-sustaining. When men are sent there to be punished for crime, I don't think they should bo used for the pur? pose of bringing any revenue to the state. ? am one of those who disap? prove of it. Those people should be made to work and support themselves free of any ex? pense to the S?ate, but the State should not make any more off them. As to the government being run by a Ring, if there is a Riug, f don't know it. 1 don't believe Hampton belonged to a liing when he was elected, or ?IagO')d either. [No ; no ] I don't believe Thompson, Richardson, or any of the others did. Tbs State govern? ment has cot been controlled by 3ny Ring. ? never belonged to any Ring. ["No, no; there ia oniy one Ring; Shell and Tillman."] I have always adhered to the princi? ple." of the Democratic party, and. with God's help, I shall so continue. [Long j applause ] Col. Earle then took up the constitu I tioual convention question, and gave j reasons why it was not the proper tah:g j to undertake now, on account of the ! expanse, and tue remedies that could be j applied by amendment tc it. Since 'TC j the farmers have had the majority in legislature; but why should there be I any reference io farmers? You should i elect men to ofEoe without reference to I whether they are farmers, merchants, ! deciors or lawyers. The only question j should bf, are they honest men, and ? who will be faithful to thc constitution ! This arraying class against class eau be j productive of nothing but evil. ? Let me ask you what they mean by j aristocracy, and what they mean by I common people - ["Tillman is very j common.r] Before thc war we had in : this State an aristocracy of wealth, bu1: : as a general thing, the wealthy men : before war arc poorest men now. The I only aristocracy worth a cent is the aristocracy of virtue and of brains. . [Cheers.] Where are the common I j.;;op!e ? L H any man who con>iders ! himself of the eins- hold up his hand ' [Xonc were held up ] All this cry of aristocracy arni common people is noth? ing more than theory of the demagogue. In this connection I suppose be wii! i refer to Haskell as an aristocrat.
