If one is to believe the Greenville Democrat; Col. J. H. Barle has become ft full-fledged Tillmanite. Truly it can be said that Col. Karlc's former politi v ^fcftl friends ate greatly disgusted?dis gust hardly expresses the feeling. ft would seem that Tillrnan is the only one able to meet Sheppard, Orr, S?som* aed tao other candidates pot in the field by tbe March Convention. McLaurin does attempt to make a wordy tittle apeeoh, bat it is all fulsome eulo gy of "Tillrnan the beet part of tbe Farmers' Movement." Tbe first copy of the Bi?hopvil!e aW?C? has bees received. Uoder tbe management of those who bave the paper io charge, it bid* fair to be a paper of geo owe worth aod merit. We trust ?bat tbe News will be tbe true ex pewewt of one of Sumter County's most favored sections. We are indeed glad to see that the Ladies' Memorial Association has de cided to place headstones to the graves -of tbe Confederate Soldiers buried in tbe Cemetery here. It is an act ihat feboald be imitated throughout the State *a*d South, where the soldiers'graves h%ve not already been marked. *Jo*\ Tillrnan tried at Edgefield to prate incorrect the figures given at Oreen?ifte by Sheppard showing that Tillrnan spent more per year than Rich ardsGo bad, but Sheppard shut him a by proving that the figures were taken ?rom one of HI man's letters to the Cofesabta Register. Til! m an found himself in an exceedingly awkward po rtion to say tbe least. Io tbe last paper we gare a pretty complete summary of the speeches made at the Greenville meeting, bat believ ing that our readers desired to see the fallest obtainable report of the meeting, we devote tbe entire first page to the speeches made at Greenville. The first ppeech of Gov. Tillrnan is taken from tbe Colombia Register; the other speeches from the Greenville Enter prise and Mountaineer. These we deem tbe best reports made. Hereafter we abati not devote so much space to tbe campaign meetings, aod shall give only such portions of tbe speeches as are different from those delivered at Greenville. At tbe request of Mr. . Thomas, tbe leading exponent of Tillmanism io Savater County we re-publish two arti elea from tbe Greenville Democrat. The article attacking Jas. L Orr does act, ta oar opinion come under the head of "legitimate campaign literature," as ? ?consiste entirely of vituperation, but are give it as an example of strictly nSmal administration campaign thuu der- Col. Orr has said in piato terms that tbe ebarge that he drew a salary under the Republican government is a lie* sai everybody knows ar should knew, that a majority of the members of the Wallace House voted to retain Jadge Willard a office. If it was a tsrime in Orr, it was a crime io a ma jority of tbe Wallace House me m bere. What did Got. Tillrnan mean, when fee said at Greenville, that after Ir by was elected, be bad no leaders in the legislature. Where were the three young heroes who came into promi nence oo their code's reputation ? Is it net bard oo John Gary Evans, on Karae&t Gary,on "Jeems" Norton of the Comptroller's office, oo Ye Ide , of Kdgefield, oo our brilliant young At torney General, oo that statesman from Union, Godfrey B. Fowler, on McWhite of Florence, Boros of Darlington, Pat terson of Barnwell, Buist of Green ville, Buchanan of Fairfield, Blease of Newberry, and a host of other leaders ? Could he depend on none of these, none oeuid he trust ? Was poor John Has IteM able to down all these able admin istration leaders ? After the ooble 6ght they madejo sustain the Governor, it is terrible that they are to be denominated at drift wood and not fit to be trusted. The C. S. & N. R. R. will sell ex cursion tickets from all points to this city to-morrow oo account of the lay ing of the Corner Stone of the Masonic Temple. COITVENTIOK" HOEOSCOPJ2. Tiljmaotte officeholders and mar sUalers of the Tillmao clans of Sam teri/oooty, ai-ter carefully est io-? ing, figariog aud -reducing to a mathemati cal certainty, t-hat they would be able to go into the county convention with a majority of 12 to 15 now find that majority reduced to 3, and there are ?tili several doubtful delegates to place. Ob! the desperate aoceitainty of the situation ; but oo, they say there must be no uncertainty. If ve Sose our grip?tbe grasp of the mailed hand, you know?we will be ruined. Come to oar aid now, they pray, oh ! sly and j conning intellect, that bas so oft before ] Stood as io good stead, and made suc cess possible, both io business and pol ities, when all avenues seemed closed. Hers we are with only a pitiful majority of titr?e and eeveral of these with uncer tain rotes? What shall we do to retain OOr grasp aad prevent thai minority representing a majority of the voter?, from defeating oar well and cunningly dans? Oh, iuitilty, bravado and buncombe come to our aid ! for?as the | impious soldier prayed to the Almighty ! *=*-he1p us this time and we will not call on you again, for we can manage affairs hereafter without outside help. It would seem from the rumors which reach us, that the prayer has been heard and 'these aforesaid leaders will go into the convention with cunningly j laid plans to increase that pitiful major ity by cutting down the strong conser vative minority by protests and contests and even, the entire ruliug out of some of the delegates. It is proposed; to contest the entire delegations of several clubs on the grounds that a quorum, was not pre-* sent at the meetings electing the dele* gates. Very particular inquiries have been made as to the number present at the meeting of the Sumter Democratic Club, andka tes: will be made of this case against this club, as it would be all plain sailing if the 24 delegates from this club could be ruled oat of the con vention. But this scheme won't work. The Constitation says : "The pr?sident shall have power to call an extra meeting of the club, aod one-fourth of the members sball constitute a quorum for the transaction of business." This is the only reference in the Con stitution as to what shall constitute a quorum, and applies to extra meetings called by the president of the club, and not to the regolar advertised meetings. The only other reference to club meetings is in Art. , which is as fol lows : "Art. II. The meetings of the club should be frequent after the opening of the canTass, and some member of the club or invited speaker d?lirer ac address at each meeting if practicable." This refers to regular meetings and nothing is said about a quorum for, if a regalar meeting of the club, fails to have a full attendance, the absent mem bers have no one to blame but them selves, for they are apprised of regelar meetings. The intent of Art. II. is to prevent the president of a club from holding a snap meeting with a few members and transacting business ob noxious to a majority of the club mem bership without letting them know of the meeting. It is also proposed to attempt to rule oat of the convention all those who voted for Haskell ia 1890. This scheme will not work either, for the State Executive Committee recognizes as democrats those who voted for Has keli as well as those who voted for Till man. Bat in view of what may happen, it might be well to look up the record of Greenbackers, etc , of the not distant past, who are now Tillman ites, and will be delegates to the con vention on Monday, next. Get the facts and, if needed, use them, not other wise. These remore come to as from sources that warrant us in publicly warning our readers. Publication may prevent their being carried oat, or the rumors may be unfounded, still there is a probability. Therefore we warn the Conservative del egates to be on their guard and come ( prepared to make a calm bat stubborn and determined fight for their rights Have no thought of withdrawing from the convention, bat remain and fight for justice. It is a part of that plan to make you bolt if possible. 1 We warn the Tillmanite delegates to 1 be careful how they follow some of the pretended leaders of their faction, for by so doing they may commits acts of gross injustice and at the same time violate the constitation which is the accepted law of the party. When &n injustice is done, feeling is created, and political feeling usually culminates in bitterness. We arge all delegates of both fac tions to eschew all bitterness, ail issues which create bitterness, and all ques tions that do not constitute integral parts of the work of the convention. Let the work of the convention be con ducted in a calm and orderly manner. Let no heed be paid to the machina tions of the extremists, let exact jus tice be done to every man, and above all things do not let partisan feeling get the upper hand of your judgment. We have confidence in a majority of the delegates from both factions, and believe that when they see matters in the true light, will take no extreme action and do no man or faction injus tice for personal or factional ac! vantage. ~~ CLAP-TRAP; Tillman is making the present carn paig on clap-trsp and profanity and appears to disregard facts and argument entirely. Listen to him. At Greenville when speaking on the free pass matter he said : They say I made a mistake. Well, our humble Saviour, the lowly Nazarene, when something of this sort was said, repeated: "Let him who is without sin among you cast the first stone." If James L. Orr had never ridden on a free pass or if he was not president of a factory that is working poor men and women thirteen hours a day wiih only forty five minutes for dinner?[Colonel Orr, interrupting: ' That ?m not tree.**] If Orr were wo: king factory bauds 24 hours per day and allowed them only ten minutes for dinner what bear ing would that have on Tillman hav iog accepted a free pa.*s after having gone from one end of the Siate to the other denouncing his predecessors for using free pasi-es and openly saving that any one <y-ing a free pass was guilty of corruption. He himself was j the first to cast a 8iar;e and now he dares to quote scripture to those who mention that he is guilty of the same act that he denounced as a crime iu others. Bat the handr of the Piedmont Mills are not woiked lo hours per day and; allowed only 45 minutes for dinner, and Tillman is once again caught in the very act of making a false statement. It is the veriest'clap-trap, and the easily discernible intention of it is to arouse in the minds of the unthinking a pre judice against Orr on account of his occupation. All sensible men know that every factory that is built in the State is a God-send to the laboring classes for it gives them regular work at better wages than they had previously been able to obtain. Their children receive good education in schools supported by the factories, and in numbers of in stances medical attention is furnished all factory bands and paid for out of the funds of the company. This does not look like the owners of the factories were oppressing operatives. He tries to arouse prejudice against Sheppard because he is a bank president. He insinuates that Sbeppard has used his position to ?nfiuence votes in Edgefieid County. But Sheppard dared him on the 1 very ground to make that charge and called upon the crowd to say that they had ever heard of his using bis position to gain political in?uenoe, and no one replied. Seme more clap trap. Everybody knows that banks are blessings to the country. Merchants as well as farmers are fbenefitted by the banks, and it would be a sorry day if the banks should be abolished. Tillman says that the reason he did not sign the tax extension bit! was because he wanted to scare the tax. papers into paying, as the interest on the bonds was almost doe. When asked why he did not scare himself into pay ing his own txaes, he said that the questioner must be a fool for he could not scare himself when he knew what was coming. More clap-trap. He denounces Orr bitterly for voting for Willard, the Bepoblican Judge who decided that Hampton was legally elec ted. Does be believe that it was a crime ? Then a majority of the Wallace j House were also guilty and all of the leaders of '76 are likewise guilty for they sanctioned the act. Let the campaign be made on the record of the Tillman administration and not on clap-trap. The Edgefieid Meeting. Between 2,000 and 2,500 oeople heard here today the second joie discus sion of the campaign. The crowd was a thoroughly representative one, com ing from all parts of the county and included many ladies whose presence fail ed to keep Tillmao's language within the bounds ot decency. He frequently swore "By G.">d" and used much pro fanity. The gathering was entirely good natured and, with a few unworthy exceptions, sober. jSot a single fight occurred during the .five hours the speaking lasted. The crowd was about evenly divided, for when Tillman called for a band primary fully halt of those present did not respond. Sheppard bad an enthusiastic reception, and it was generally conceded that he won more applause than any of the speak ers. The throng, led by a negro brass band, arrived at the grounds at 11 o'clock. stand had been erected and was occupied by Gov. R. Tillman, Ex-Gov. Jno. C. Sheppard, Col. Jas. L. Orr, Attorney General J L. McLaurin, Col. L W. Youtnans, Secretary of State Jas. E Tiudal, W. W. Dixon and seve ral others. The meeting was called to order by Krnesi Gary, as chairman, aud nrayer was offered for a ruler who fears God. Chairman Gary introduced as the first speaker Governor Tillman. An enthusiastic reception was tendered the governor and. when the applause had died out he began in a slow and delib erate manner to speak. He compared himself to Rob Roy, the Scotch outlaw and free hooter,?"my foot is on my native heath aud my name is McGregor'' ?aod laid claim to the same undying sense of liberty that characterized that gentleman. He boasted greatly of bis immaculate and spotless character and said those loved him best who knew him best. He was for the first time in his life a candidate. He came to ask them to re-elect him governor. (Great applause and cries of "We'll do it.") He threshed out again the old straw about the recent March convention be ing the ojtgrowth of Haskellism, and read numerous newspaper clippings to prove it. He paid his respects at con siderable length to banks, rail roads, factories, corporations in general, A. B. Williams, N. G. Gonzales aod everybody else who has dared to oppose or criticise him. He blamed the oppo sition newspapers aud the "driftwood" legislature as entirely responsible for his failure to carry out his promises. He had ? spat with Sheppard about the accuracy of some figures submit ted by Sheppard in Greenville, but Sheppard held his ground. He said, in explaining his accepting a free office after having repeatedly declared he wanted noue, by saying he was the only man in South Carolina with brains and nerve enough to lead the farmers to success, lie gave Joo. C. Haskell and the newspapers credit for bambooz ling the last legislature and causing it to defeat every bill introduced if it was called an administration measure. He took up a newspaper account of Col. Orr's speech at Laurens aod criti cised it severely and bitterly. He de clared that the recent purchase of the agriculture hall was simply a scheme to saddle off Ofc the people the Blue Ridge scrip. He had for ooe time run over the law, and in placing a guard io the build?Dg he had laid himself personally liabk for a suit of ?10,000, which was now pending, but he did not believe if he lost it he would have to pay it. The people would pay it, because he had done it to protect them from robbery. Lie reiterated his profane preference for hell to heaven if his companions could he Ti 11 manijes, lie made no pretiosions to religion, anil was not a member of (he B-tptist church who gambled He grew indignant and j criticising G: ventor Shepp?td*s droh- : ration that fciouth Carolina had survived ' Chamberlain. Moses and Scott and ; could survire Tillman, he said that Sheppard knew that in h o newt y. vir- j te?* and truth he was not Tillman's ripal The governor spoke exactly two hours and made probity the hoi- ' test speech of his life. Sometimes his lips fairly trembled with rage and he gesticulated furiously. He closed amid great applause. After again pleading for good order and attention, Chairman Gary intro duced Governor Sheppard, Sheppard declared that any man who claimed to be his superior in honesty, virtue or truth spoke a flat falsehood. At this Tillrnan looked sour, but said nothing. Re said Tillrnan was only trying to pre judice them by telling them this iicket was a Haskell ticket. He assured them that it was not, but that when this fight is over the democratic partv will remain solid Tillrnan was tryicg to hide his record under a bushel. He scored the governor severely for | his failures and misdeeds and his men tion of the free pass incident elicited loud applause. He submitted the figures of expenses during previous administrations and the present one, proving conclusively that Tillrnan had increased expenses. Tillrnan wanted to increase the poll tax to $3. This was unjust to the poor man. Tillrnan had vetoed a stringent rail road law protecting the people from encroachments of the rail roads. They were down on bank presidents. He asked if there was a single man in the crowd who had been oppressed by Sbeppard's bank, and no one answered. Tillrnan had accused him of doing nothing for farmers while speaker or lieutenant governor. Everybody knew that the presiding officer of a body could not offer a bill. Tillrnan had congratulated him on his message to the legislature. Several efforts were made to howl the speaker down, but his own followers yelled just as lustily as tbe Tillmanites. Tillrnan here arose and said be was the cause of Mr. Sheppard writing that mes sage. Sheppard a<ked if Tillrnan could com plain of Orr haviog voted for a republi can when he binidf was nominated by a convention containing two republicans and bad recently employed a republican lawyer, Judge Melton. Tillrnan again got up to explain that be preferred a republican to a Haukell itc. j Sheppard said thst every time he hit Tillrnan he had to get up and ex plain. Sheppard spoke of a malicious lie published in (he Columbia Register that he would only lend money from i his bank to those who would promise to support him against Tillrnan. He turned to tbe Register's correspondent and denounced it as the slander of a viper aod a liar. He asked if any man ia the audience bad ever known htm to do such a thing, and was ? answered loudly "no." His last wish would be, he said, fur the uuity of the democratic party and the supremacy of the Anglo Saxon race. Governor Sheppard closed amid enthusiastic and prolonged applause. He spoke just one hour. The chairman then introduced Attor ney General McLaurin who made a short speech, which failed to arouse any enthusiasm whatever Col. Jas L Orr was tbe next speaker Several tiu.es attempts were make to bowl bim down, but he declared he had come to talk and was g"ing to do it. He asked them to reason and think for themselves. He, too, denounced tbe attempts made to prejudice the people against the peace aud unity ticket on the ground thst it was Haskeliism. Sheppard and himself had done everything iu their power io elect Tillrnan after be was nominiated Tillrnan bad expressed contempt for him because he was running for office. If Tillrnan was running for ! a $3,500 salary and he for one of $300 | which deserved the more contempt ? Tillrnan had said he would save the State $100,000 the first y?iar and he has not saved a dollar. He ?aid he would reduce every salary and abolish useless officers and had not done it. It was an outrage oo justice that so many lawyers had been employed to as sist the attorney general. Tillrnan had used the agricultural hall affair for po litical capital. Coionel Orr explained his vote for Willard, a republican, for the supreme beoch by saying. There is no man io the State I love better than Judge McGowan. I studied law in his office aod he bas been like a father to me. I did not even know Willard personally. But I voted for him to pay a political debt that the Democratic party made when they promised to let Willard serve out the balance of his term, about a year, in consideration of his help in putting uur people io power. I believe a political debt is just as sacred as any other debt, because my honor and my politics are the same as my business and my politics. A large majority of the Democrats composing the Wallaoe House voted for Willard, as I did, and you see what this blowing amounts to. The negro Sam Johnson supported Hampton. He was not a Republican, ae Tillrnan tells you. He carried 1,800 colored votes for Hampton in Ander son. he again taunted Tilintan that the alliance had dried him up at Spartan burg and he had not opeued his mouth about the sub-treasury since. Secretary of State Tindal, Solicitor Perry Murphy, Adjutant General Far ley and W. W. Dixoo followed with speeches. Sheppard and Orr developed consid erable strength today and the conserva tives feel greatly encouraged.?Green ville News, April 24. ?1 > + ? - WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, April 25, 1892. Mr. Harrison's visit to New York this week, while ostensibly for the pur pose of attending the laying of the corner stone of the Grant monument, is in reality for the purpose uf Kettling the question of his candidacy for a renom ination. He will carry with him the two men who were taken into the cabinet Solely to bring his renomioatico?Sec retaries Foster and Elkins?and while there these political manipulators will meet the republican bosses of New York and other States aud try to make bar gains wiih them. Secretary Foster has just returned from Ohio, where he went to lay Harrison wires, and there is reason for believing, although he main tains to the contrary, that he found the anti-Harrison sentiment too strong for him, and that the Ohio delegation will cj<? to Minneapolis uniustructed. With such states as Pennsylvania and Ohio sending uniustructed delegations, it becomes necessary for Mr. Harrison to capture the New York delegation or throw up the sponge. Scnatur Teller is> doiug all ho knows 1 how to do to make himself disagreeable to the administration. Not satisfied with charging Mr. Harrison with bav iog been in league with the money power lobby to defeat the free coinage bill the House, he knocked the bottom out of a very nice little scheme which Mr. Harrison has been concocting for electioneering purposes by offering a resolution, which was adopted by the Senate, calling upon the President for information as to what steps have been taken toward the holding of an inter national monetary conference, and for copies of all correspondence with gov ernments invited to participate therein. Senator Sherman made a hole for Mr. Harrison to crawl out by amending the resolution by adding *'if not incom patible with the public interests," but Mr. Teller intimates that Mr. Harrison would better Dot try to make use of it. It is koown that Mr. Harrison has had secret agents at work for months trying to get the European governments to agree to take part in such a conference, and it is said that they have succeeded in getting a number of them to do so, and that the conference is to be held when it will do the republican party the most good?just before the election when all sorts of promises can be made as to what it will do. Senator Palmer has announced him self a candidate for the Presidential nomination, and he says he will endea vor to secure the support of the entire Illinois delegation. Senator Call has offered a resolution whiob, if adopted and carried out, would get together some very valuable infor mation. It provides for the appointment of a committee to inquire into the pres ent value per mile of the railways of the U. S., their present capitalization and the difference between such capitaliza tion and their aetaal cost; their gross and net receipts ; number and compen sation of employes, amount of bonded indebtedness aod capital and stock ; and a list of stockholders and bondholders, giving their residences. The Senate, in its usual ponderous way is discussing the House Chinese exclusion bill. The republicans are tryiog hard to make party capital out of the democratic vote by which Representative Rockwell, of New York, was retained in his seat, notwithstanding the report of a majority of the Elections committee in favor of the contestant. Representative McMti l?n, of Tennessee, voiced the general democratic as well as the common sense view when he said of it : "I cannot see bow it can affect the democratic party. It was a case upon which men cocld honestly differ and which they did differ. Mr. Rockwell had the advantage of the skill with which his case was presented, and there were many minds that were not made up until the final presentation of the case. The very length of the debate and the perfect freedom which marked it was sufficient to show the country that the democratic House was willing to listen to every phase of the case." Some gossip has been caused by the report tbat Mr. Blaine was very brusque in his refusal of the invitation to accompany Mr. Harrison and the administration party which is to go to New York tomorrow evening to take part in laying the corner stone o* the Grant monument, ou Wednesday Mr. Blaine is at least consistent } the. was never any love displayed by him for General Grant in bis life-time, and be declines to make a pretense of it over his grave. Senator Voorhees says of the plat form adopted by the Indiana demo cratic convention: "It is a sound plat form, embracing tariff reform and a currency of gold and silver and legal tender paper (greenbacks) on an equal ity with each other. This is the old 1 democratic platform, aod no new depar ture toward Wall Street." He adds that the State ticket is a splendid one, with a practical farmer at its bead, and that it is certain to sweep the State into the d?mocratie column this year. -? ^-?-+~??
