W?DKESDAY, APRIL 27, '92.
A Farmer's Indictment
Drawn h# L. ?F. Yoitmans Against B.
?. Tillman.
tS?SKNViLlE, April 16.?Special to
Ihe State.?At 9 o'clock tonight a
crowd numbering, several hundred citi
le ns from county acd town procured a
band of music and proceeding to the
Mansion House, demanded a speech
from Col. Youoians, who has tuaoy ad
mirers in this section He was iatro
jj doced by Governor Mauldin aud spoke
from the balcony of the hotel. His
speech was frequently interrupted by
applause. Col. You in ans said :
t regard your enthusiastic reception
hoi as a personal compliment to me,
bat as a recognition aud appr?ciation of
the spirit of the body of patriots who
have pat me in nomination.
Many good people familiar with tho
present divided, distracted and embit
tered condition of the white people of
the State, think that in styling the con
vention of March 24th, called for the
purpose of euifying ?41 of the dissatis
fied elements and the platting of a ticket
in the Seid which*, in its judgment, was
the best qualified for waging an aggres
ive fight,;?a "jpeaoe and Unity" con
vention was bestowing apon it a title
very nrtch at variance with its apparent
tpur?ose. But when we remember that
*kmid (be wholesale denunciations of the
' administration of public affairs by the
Whito people of the State from 1876 to
lSOl, charges of perjury, malfeasance
and disloyalty to the people and the
State have been preferred, repeated and
reiterated against men of prominence
and ability, whose integrity, loyalty and
devotion to the best interests of the
-State, have been tested and approved
oa t?e field of battle, in legislative
kails?io every department of life,
until sickened and disgusted manhood
and self respect revolted and seemed to
demand of them the political repara
tion of their author; that large and
varied interests which, in violation of
law and the constitution, were beiog op
pressed by unfair and unequal ass.s-i
meets upon their property, under an
Administration pledged to a just and
impartial exercise of the powers given
to it by the people, were considering
whether the political bond whose only
tnure was that of common consent,
e'ioald command their allegiance after
t lis power had been perverted to coun
ter-rail the pernicious consequences of
mismanagement and iucapacity by nn
jast aggressions upon their interest ;
that it was then, ander this threatening
aspect of party disintegration that thir
ty wise and patriotic citizens called
this convention which unified the vari
ous elements and placed a ticket ia the j
field pledged, after a full, free and fair I
hearing, to acquiesce in the verdict of .
the people This course promised the
only hope of a restoration of unity to
the party, and if it succeeds, the March
Convention of 1892 wiil, to a great ex
teat, have counteracted the evil effects
of the March Convention of 1890
One of the hamblest of your citizens,
I stand before yoa holding a comoiis
roo from that body. The address
which assembled that body, and which
was endorsed by that body, and the
platform adopted by that body, desig
nated the head of the present adminis
rtration as the author of oar troubles
**nd dissensions, and rendered it incum
bent upon its standard bearers to
arraign him before the bar of public
opinion. In proseca tin g that indict
ment, preferred by a large and repre
sentative body of citizens from ail over
the State, I desire to do so, not only
calmly and dispassionately, but in a
spirit of fairness. If Governor Till
man, as be claimed, inaugurated his
family quarrel through an unselfish and
^patriotic desire to promote the agricul
tural eksses, and through them, as the
foundation of our prosperity, the best
fatereste of the State, and has succeed
ed, his saccese should entitle him to
the proud distinction of a public bene
factor, bat if bis premises were assumed
to veil an ulterior object, the gratifica
tion of a selfish ambition, we shall
have to judge him by another conclusion,
afterwards reached by submitting him
to the operations of his own trying
fonare. If Governor Tillman has sus
tained his charges of incoinpeteacy,
imbecility, extravagance and corrup
tion, preferred against the democratic
administrations from 1S76 to 1390,
then truly, and bevond peradventcre,
lias he established a just title to the j
claim of reformer, but if the results of ?
iiis administration have refuted these !
rcbarges, how can he defend himself
from the charge that be is an enemy to j
4he State that gave him birth, and a j
defame:: of the party to which he pro- !
/esses to belong 1 If Governor Tfll
*nan has avoided the errors with which
lie charged and censured his predeces
sors, effected the "retrenchment and
reform*' which were the slogans of his j
canvass, increased the revenue, dimin j
i-thed the burdens of taxation and with- j
al lias given a broader latitude to the j
people for a more healthful exercise of ?
political freedom, he deserves, not ou!y j
the gra'itode cf ?be public, but should j
be endorsed by a re-election ; but if he
has iodurged more freely in these char- i
aoteristics which he denounced in his
predecessors as the earmarks of corrup
tion,?if he failed to effect the prom
ised retrenchment and reform, to in
crease the revenue and decrease the
burden of taxation, then may we not
.p rtineutfy ask the question if tried by
bis own standard he should not be cou
rietst! as a political pei jurer ?
That he posed as a disinterested
chainpiou of the agricultural classes we i
' ?11 know from hi* public declarations ; j
he said he ? noted no <fSce aud wouid
end this fight, as he. begun if, "pure j
end honest, and only a tanner. 1 and |
f?*r reward only ankert th?-ir "good opin- \
ion and confidence " We also krone
that under these circumstances the ac- j
ceptance of a nomination and candidacy '
f.?r Governor would brand hon ;:s a
political leper," as can be established
by his utterances iu the Ap.il conven- :
?ion of 1886, when he said : ? Little :
greedy men. offi ;eseekers and t:ir:r'
sateliines, judging me by their own
?Standard <?f pe?fishnesi?, ar: i faring a j
political rival, have cri-d. Office ! of

Tha' he charged the Administrations
ifrofij JbJ? to 1>?L;? wiih ?.tvujpcUbcy,
imbecility and extravagance may be
sustained by the following utterances,
in a letter January 28th, 1886, to the
News and Courier, be said : "These
men say the farmers won't stick togeth
er, they are such fools, and this thing
will soon blow over. Just keep quiet
and these farmers will go to sleep again
presently and we can continue our mis
rule and robbery." ?nsubs<quent let
ters he charged "extravagance and
imbecility" both against tbe legislature
and executive branches of the Govern
ment, and on the stump be said that be
"could put his band on more sores,
leak?, and incipient racality than he
could enumeratelo two hou-s," that
the people had sold their votes and that
men in Columbia had sold their rights.
Iu the convention of 1888 he said out
rages bad been oointnitted in tbe ball of
Representatives which made bim "shud
der to enumerate," he "hesitated to
ame them, and must speak of them
with bated breath.*'
Can the^e charges be true? If so,
they blast South Carolina.
Covering tbe interim from 1876 to
1890, a space of fourteen years, with
with public men selected and reselected
every two years as tbe exponents of tbe
capacity, morals and integrity of each
and every community, their truth would
prove general depravity,?the utter dis
grace and ruin of tbe State.
Tbe charges of incompetency and im
becility were refuted by Governor Till
uiao today, when be said that tbe
rotten driftwood who floated into tbe
Legislature on tbe Farmers' Movement
were not able to cope with the handful
of the old regime who remained in
office. The charges of extravagance
have been refuted by higher taxation,
and in attempting to sustain himself
today he bas failed to show where tbe
State has lost a single dollar by official
dishonesty in Columbia.
Despite tbe fact that be asserted he
would "end tbe fight as be begun it,
only a farmer;** despite the fact he was
I stronger to carry ou the fight as private
j citizen tbau be would be as Governor,
tainted wi:b tbe suspicion of having
sought to advance his personal ambition
by the Farmers* Movement, he failed
to resist the devices of the evil one, let
tbe devil get in the lead; had something
to do with tbe calling the March Con
vention for tbe purpose of capturing
the State offices, advocated iaimediate
action, solicited the nomination, and
gave bis enemies a stick, to break his
bead with by accepting the Gubernato
rial chair.
After ail this what has be done ?
Did he vindicate himself by a record
absolved from tbe charges preferred
against previous administrations which
he cited as proof of debauchery and
corruption ? Oh, we heard a great deal
about the bamboozlement and debauch
ery of previous administrations by free
raiiroad passes. Governor Tiilman
told us that we bad and might select
farmer representatives who were good
men at borne, trustworthy and reliable,
but when they got to Columbia the
"howdy-do fellows would take them up
to tbe Columbia Club and the aristo
cratic ringeters would begin to wine and
dine them,'* and that "this consorting
with tbe big oVu would be so pleasant
that they could not be so churlish as to
vote against them, Their constituents
and poor farmer fiiends would be for
gotten." Forewarned is forearmed, j
and tbe farmers thought one who could
so wlel expatiate opon he faults and I
weaknesses of others, if they could only
get him there they would be safe ; that
all corrupt icdaer.ee and advauces
would rebound from his adamantine
virtue like the spray from the ilo^k of
Gibraltar. Behold I when their A ses
got into the Eden of office the tempter
appeared?yea, even the "great bam
boozier," and the battle o? the uufor
bidden fruit was to be fought over agaio,
not by Farmer Adam in the Garden of
Eden and the set peut, but between
Farmer Tiilman, the reformer in tbe j
Gubernatorial chair, and the inevitable,
irrepressible, bsmbooz^er, Bunch '
McBee ?
How did car immaculate agricultural
champion, who like unto the righteou*
Pharisee had called upon G >d to witness
tbe purity of his motives and tbe sin
cerity of his intentions, and had repeat
edly asserted his honesty and disio terest
eduess, stand the ordeal ? He upon
whom your fondest hopes bad bung !
Bunch presented the apple in the shape
of free pass No. 1. on the It. k D., aud
the great reformer did rat He pock
eted the free pass and fell. Pie was
cheered to the echo when he cited the
acceptance of free passes as the ear
marks of corruption aud charged such
action as a di.-oualification for office.
At Union in tbe last canvass he said :
"Over in Georgia the railroad presi
dents can't go to Atilinta in private
cars, take wine and influence the legisla ,
ture. Over there the ifficers ba?e to
face tbe people.'' What a spectacle he
must present, 'tis pitiful, 'tis wondrous
pitiful, that the great reformer, the
the man who spelt Reform with a big
R , self bound before tbe people, should
be compelled to cry "peccavi I''. This
was the man who boasted that he wanted
his tracks to remain on the sands of
rime, that he did noi want to be a com
inou Governor, but a great one like
llayne or McDuffie, How sad ir wou?d
have been for IJayne or McDuffis after
practicing what tbey had condemned in j
others, to exclaim when impaled before
th-? public, "I made a mistake.'"

Here is Mr. Ellerbe, young and

bent upon doing even more than his
duty to the State. Are we to nndei
st and that The Register eels him

Aud so with ttie remainder of the
State officers ; are they common
men ? ]f they are not who docs The
Register mean ? Now, mark you,
theee gentlemen named all belong to
the yeotranry?not one of them can
say that the doors to the bvet society
?n this or any other State were ever
barred against him ; and we chal
lenge The Register to name one
single State officer, from Hampton's
down to Richardson's term, who ever
closed his heart againet any honest
man, however poor or humble.
No one in this State ever thought
of distinguishing our educated and
uneducated classes one from another
by calling the one "common" and
the other "cultured until B. R. Till
man introduced the terms during his
campaign, intending the "common'
as an opprobrious term and leading
the people to believe that it had
been applied in that spirit to the
poorer citizens by what he called the
"old aristocrats"?all this to produce
class feelings?to put the poor
[ against the rich, the uneducated
against the educated. It is pre
eminently Mr. Tillman's invention
for campaign purposes and the ready
writer of The Register comes forward
now to ?help the demagogue fan his
fires anew.
Who are common men and who
are not ? Let The Register give
personal examples of what it means
since it has taken up Mr. Tillman's
term and applied it anew.
Never before in the history of this
State was there a closer community
of feeling among its citizens in the
social relations, and he who would
do anything tending to check this
progress towards an cudaring
brotherhood among our people ought
to receive the severest condemnation

Feminine Affinities.
A strange phase of schoolgirl life has
been developed recently which is ac
couoted for as a result of the close inti
macy which follows protracted exclusion
from masculine companionship It is
the intatuation of one girl for another,
which is sometimes so strong as to lead
to tragic results.
There is hardly a woman's c->Hrg? or
seminary in the land in which such in
fatuation is not rife, and heartaches and
heartbreaks from this cause are of
everyday occurrence. It is a subject
upon which every college girl is reticent
unless among her own fraternity, but it
is also a subject with which every
girl is fully acquainted, and in al
most every case she knows it by experi
ence.
There undoubtedly is s ich a thing as
woman's love for woman, and it is de
veloped in all the ardor of the "divine
passion" in these communities v. h? e
girls live exclusively among themselv ?
A girl ?3 sent away to school at the
time when she is most susceptible to the
sway of? her affections. She is separa
ted from the teuder, sheltering home
1 ? : she is isolated from the healtful
companionship of her brothers and
their friends. Her first condition in
school is one of helpless and miserable
home sickness. lier heart yeirns for
the home caresses. In this yearning
condition some oue comes and, in the
careless bou homme of school life,
purs an arm around her or kindly
prchS-s her hand, aud presto, the deed
is done!
