Vi v t> WEDNESDAY, JUNE15,1892. Campaign Meetings. Tfie firsrt meting of the campaign was. field at Baro well a Tuesday the 7 th irrstant. The meeting Was orderly ~ there were only about 500 people present. Col. Orr spoke first, followed fey Attorney General McLaurin, who, acted as a substitute for Lieut. Gover nor Gary, fhen Ex-Governor Shep pard spo*ke> followed by Goveroor Taiman which concluded the meeting. The following are condensed reports of the speeches of Sheppard and Tillman : KX GOV SniSPPARD. He sa\d that although he might, like Saal, have fallen on his sword, he wtMild show his distinguished friend that he was one of the liveliest little corpses he ever struck, (Yoice : Yes, you are a living corpse. Tbe first interruption occurred during Governor Sheppards speech. There were cheers and coonter cheers, but it was quelled by Chairman Bellinger stating that the next man who consumed any more of the speaker's time would be taken by the crowd and put on the ?ence. - Goverc or Sheppard said that tbe plat form of Goveroor Tillman was made, *Bot to stand on, bat to get into office ?peu. Two year*1 ago he declared the salary of State officials were too high, now, ite is in office, bat salaries are /ttot too high. ..- Some one in tbe crowd yelled out ' that Sheppard's bank should be made to * pay its taxes. The speaker, however, "was sorry he spoke when Goveroor -'Sheppard told him that his bank vretaw: e? ?very dollar of its property for ttscf&on, "and that's what yoa don't So." [Laughter] He then addressed himself to the un businesslike acts of tbe Governor. He bad denounced tbe appropriation of $116,000 for the Executive Department ?8 extravagant, yet tbe first year of his Administration there was appropriated ?y his own Legislature $126,900. Speaking to some one in tbe audience -who bad asked him several questions, Governor Sheppard pat this query to him : "If I convince you of the accuracy of -these figures are you willing to ac knowledge it ?" "Ob, I'm satisfied that they are cor rect," was tbe answer. Governor Sheppard?Is it just, then, for the Governor to denounce one appro priation as extravagant and then come In himself and approve one larger? <Cries of "No," ''hurrah for Shep ?pardO A voice?Wbat brought about the Increase ? Governor Sheppard?Why, the Legis latore that got into power through bim. By bis obligation as a sworn official and his loyalty as a citizen the Gover nor was sworn to uphold the judiciary, bat he had derided it. His greatest auront tot be judiciary was bis statement at Greenville about tbe decisions of tbe Circuit Judges being reversed by tbe Supreme Court. The Governor should take pleasure io stating to tbe world that so few of these decisions were wrong instead of holding them up to scorn. One of tbe greatest injuries che State bad ever received was from Governor Tillman, who, while an ordinary citizen, 'bad circulated charges in the news papers that tbe Executive was weak, the .Judiciary partisan and tbe Legislature permeated with perjury. The attack tspon the credit of tbe State did not .come from the Conservatives. On tbe contrary, he himself bad stated on accepting the candidacy that it should be preserved unsullied. A voice : You will never be Gover nor. Governor Sheppard: Well, sir, yon will suffer /row it more than I will .(Laaghter. f?e did not .so each blame the Attor ney General for getting assistance in -conducting ?is ca&e, bat be insisted it h at if it was wrong when Tillman, as a candidate ?oarged it was, then it is now. "The Goveroor was unfair in bis criticism jc-f former Administrations when he ?ornes with his own Administration and does the same thing. . , Referring to Mr. McLaurin's charge that be was kissing the rod that smote ( nim, Governor, Sheppard said that in tbe recent caucus when the Alliance was smiting Tillman bip and tbigb for bis opposition to the sub-treasury, be ' bowed submissively to tbe dem&nd tien i made cp#n bim for purpose of moiiifyifig t?e opposition, thus stifling bis own dpejared convictions. Voices : "That's tos stuff ] ' Hell back down wfca you corner him f Goveroor Sheppard made a vigorous ?nd beagrjful appeal to the crowd always to Staad ?r&e to tbe Democratic party. J?et yonr fases against the Third party #pd stand together. If Tiltman is nominated I shall support bim and ?f I am nominated be will support me. We must take our medicine like men. Let me reeall the words of a man vho has never yet uttered a falsehood.?Johnson JJagood. Jie cannot be w;tb you much longer. His days arc cumbered and be must soon depart to that everlasting camp-ground beyond the silent river. His son of life is fast setting. May he not see it go down in the blazing splen dor of a glorious life with the banner j pf South Carolina beariug upon it that emblem which shall array class against glass or tpe rieb against the poor. 3{ay he behold eoiblajpned npoo the b&ouer of Conservative Democracy tfcat Ubor without capital is starvation and that capital without labor is stagnation. ' 4Jay the last beams of the setting sun rest on Sjooth Carolina, free and united .=?tbe land of the free and the home of the brave-^tbe home of liberal lays and patriotism and justice I flOVBRXOB TILLtfAJf. fpoke next. He said this was the fourth time be bad spoken in Barnwell And be believed that each time he oauie the people liked him better because be liked them better. He bad whipped tbe ring cohorts of Charleston and Columbia and became lbs Governor and nest November be would still be tbe Governor, because the people recognized truth and honor and justice. He said Sheppard had nothing to say except to rehash tbe stale charges of the : ring newspaper in Columbia. G I Gomales was the father of every charge ?h.pppard made today He was satis?ed that Sheppard .and* ? trade in 1S88 that if Richardson ; shou!d be Governor he (Sheppard) should be eleet<?d.io 1S90. Goveroor Sheppard, sotto voce? ;< There is not a wuid of it so. ? He said Clenisoo College was the grandest educational institute io tbe South?$163,000 of brick and mortar wbicb we have saved from the riDg for the farmers. The charge of perjury had already been settled. Earle had foiigbt him on that and got whipped, so why should this man (Sheppard) bring up "this old rotten egg charge" against him. He had ridden on a free pass all last year and was not ashamed of it. The fact that the railroads were fighting him today showed that they did not boy him as they did some of the other crowd. Has it not been proved on John C. Haskell that he distributed free passes to the members of the Legislature. The Governor opened a new subject by attempting to show that there was some jobbery in the effort of the city of Colombia to make the asylum pay its share of the sewerage expense in hav ing its sewerage turned below the city. He said the city wanted the State to build it. "Year after year a bill for this purpose was introduced in the Legislature, but we kept the job down, if you put that other crowd in you will have to build that sewer. I warn you aboot it, and I wautyoo to watch it." The Governor tried to defend his ap pointments in Colombia, by saying that in other counties he consulted the dele gations, and acted on their recommenda tions, but in Kichland and Charleston the riug was so strong that it had sent him men he could not trust. I see lots of public officers who are slack in their actions and who are doing wrong. If I had the power I would take my boot and kick them out. (And suiting the action to the words, the Governor lifted his foot and, with a powerful* right-band jam, as Pogilist Moriarty would say, he struck an imaginary delinquent officer with tbe end of his executive toe and tossed him sky-high over tbe big green tree that shaded the plaza.) I am in favor of giving the Governor power to punish sheriffs who allow pris oners to be lynched. Look at L?ureos ! There is one crime that deserves lynch ing. I, as Governor, would head a party to lynch any negro that would ravish a woman. The Governor said that some people thought he was omnipotent. One man had written to him that his wife wag mad with him and that he could marry another, and for God's sake to turn him loose from this woman. He was tired making recommendations and having them ignored. Unless he was given tbe proper Legislature be could do nothing. . The Governor then turned loose ail hie batteries on the newspapers and the banks in replying to the charge that he had ruined the Sirte's credit. | The purpose and object, said he, of the newspapers that are owned by tbe banks in attempting to poison tbe minds of Northern capitalists is to depress the bonds oi the State that are owned by widows and orphans so as to speculate on them next summer. Its a pure and unadulterated scheme of robbery where the widows are interested, and these banks are in collusion with them. The following colloquy ensued between the Governor and some one in the audience : Question?Do you know the first principles of religion ? Governor Tillman?It's to be bumble and pray to your God. Question?But you should not lay yoor sins before your neighbor door. Governor Tillman?Are you a mem ber of the church ? Yes. Governor Tillman?I wouldn't trust you that far (snapping his finger). And God wouldn't trust you. [A vuice : That's a three bagger ] Governor Tillman?? don't belong to the Church, and I make no pretences to religion. I cuss once io a while, which I am sorry for, but I don't play the hypocrite. Did none of your other Governors ever curse ? I stand here in the face of high heaven aud claim to be honest and patriotic. Why do these people hate me so? if I was such a demagogue why didu't I go to the United States Senate two years ago when everybody knows I eould bav? doue ? instead of staying here to de fend year interest? The newspapers have criticised me with gangrened eyes and they give no assistance and counsel. Therefore I have bad to shut my eyes and go it blind. When I have a pub lid measure to decide upon I shut my eyes and ask myself three questions: U it right between God and man, is it sound policy, and is it for the public good? The Governor concluded by telling ; the crowd if they wanted a double-deal er who crawls on any platform to elect Shepp?rd, but if they preferred onejwho stood for their interests he was the fel low they were looking for. He tool: several hand primaries which were participated in by bis followers but from which the opposition abstained. ?jflER sp?tre?. This ended the regular programme and there were calls for some of the other aspirants who were sitting around. Col. Alfred Aldrich adaa few remarks referring to Orr ?s tbe great eigcteeu inch scraper on the poli/?cal Seid, to Gen. McL~urin as> tfcc bull tongue from ijarlboro. to ex Governor Sheppard as the straight shove! from Ivlgefield, and to Governor Tillman as the "farmers friend" whom you put in when the grass was thick and the sun was hot upon yoo. Col. Gary and Superintendent of ivJu cation 3Ja\?e!d spoke briefly defending the administration. Col. Talbert put in * few words for himself oo ?he Congressional line and compared TU?u>?u t-? JStonewall Jackson and Andrew Jackson The meeting was concluded at 4:30 o'clock. Hampton, S C , June 8 ?It looks as if t rut .tn paign is petering out before it fairly starts. I counted 2GQ persona present, including nien, women and children, a few persons of color and candidates. There may have been 2?.') altogether when ihe meeting was I he biggest. The platform iiad been handsomely decorated with evergreens arid Unit ed States flags. The Rev. Mr. fowl ing opened the proceedings with prayer Maj M. I*. McSweeney, County chairman, made a brief, strong ami eloquent introductory address. Lieutenant Governor Gary was the first speaker, lie was received in dead silence. He proceeded to dis cuss ihe farmers' movement platform pi" 1*90. lie maintained that the governor had carried out as far as hi could the pledges of that platform, lie urged thai the people constituted the jury and had a right to hold the prosecutors of the piesent adminis tration to the indictment drawn in the March platform and not allow them to go oft' on.side issues, ile began to review the platform of the conservative convention. He charg ed that the conservatives were re sponsible for not helping to fund the State debt. He was interrupted by a question whether in 1800 the Till man paity had not published things to the discredit of the State. There was nothing especially telling in his reply but it evoked the first evidence of enthusiasm. Gaiy said parties in Asheville had offered the preceding administration "to pay the State debt if given Ooosaw's exclusive rights Governor Gary took up the conserva tive platfoim plank by plauk, analyz ing each and ended in general charges of inconsistency against the conser vatives. There was not a rippie of applause during the speech though there was some laughter now and then, and at the end there was a brief round of applause. Colonel Orr was the next speaker. Ile was also received in silence. Before he had spoken long, however, a prediction of conservative success elicited a warm cheer from one wing of the gathering He discussed the management of the Coosaw case and the agricultural hall case and claimed that both illustrated the fact that the trouble with this administration is too much politics and too little biiii nes8 (Cheers ) lie also analyzed the bank cases and directed attention to the fact that Pope, formerly of this administration, now on the supreme bench, supported the position of the banks. Governor Gary having brought up the question of reappor tionment of representation, Colonel Orr laughingly said he had started to acknowledge it in Hampton county, ; which had lost representation but he i had always favored reappoitionment The palliating circumstance in that matter was that some legislators had objected to taking representation from white counties to give it to ne gio counties A man in the crowd interrupted Colonel Orr with a num ber of questions as to his holding office under a republican administra tion. The speaker replied that he held the office of private secretary under his father and the administra tion had nothing to do with it. He ' had been a democrat ever since he was born. (Cheers ) In reply to a question about voting for a negro, Colonel Orr said he did not remem ber doing it. His recollection was, he said, that he favored the reap pointment of a negro jury commis sioner in Anderson because the man had helped the democrats to carry the count}' for the first time in six or eight years. He was not ashamed of it and under the same circumstances would do the same thing again. (Cheers.) He referred at eome length to the war on the judges and legislature. He protested against the three dollar poll tax and said the result would be that scores of men in every county would be put in jails for tax payers to support. Governor Tillman was next intro duced and was greeted with cheers, prolonged but not especially hearty. A large proportion of the crowd evi dently determined to give the gover nor every possible encouragement. Ile called for all who intended to vote for Sheppard to hold up their hands. About twenty hands went up amid much laughter. One anti call ed out that some of that side were modest. The governor eaid he nev er knew a man on that side to 1 <ue any modesty. (Laughter and cheers.) He was asked if he lud said he had his boys in his breeches pocket. The fellows on the other side were the ones he had in his breeches pocket He said he seem ed in 1890 to be the only man with pluck and nerve and brains to lead and did lead. He reviewed with much sarcasm the call of the last March convention. JI?s victory, he said, had been a victory of the peo ple. Thirteen men of the old school who believed the people lacked the intelligence to rule had called that convention. He ridiculed the failure to demand a primary, and directed a good deal of earcasm against The Greenville News, the State and Orr | and Sheppard. I He said the March convention ws6 three-fourths democratic and one fourth Ilaskellite. (A voice : "Was the March convention of 1890 all democratic ?'') Tillman replied that there might have been one or two ring, streaked and striped republi cans. He believed there was a man among them named Russell, who was a kind of free lance or crank. lie made a heavy aseault on the conser vatives, claiming that they had the same spirit as the old ring, distrust ing the intelligence and character of the people. He eaid the State ex pressed their feeling when it said its editor could be induced to vote for Tillman only if a negro ran againei. him. lie said the conservati ?e haled him because he was the embod iment of popular government. They tried to work the alliance against him, had tried to make dickers, had offered the governorship nomination to half a dozen men of his side (voice; "None of them wanted it.") Tillman ; "No, they knew as soon as they made a trade with Ilaskell they would have to go off with the sheep " personal question arose between Tillman and Sheppard the former claiming that the latterat Greenville had compared him with Scott, Cham berlain and Moses and by conse quence compared the people who sup ported him with negroes and radicals, Sheppard denieii it emphatically. Tillman claimed that Sheppard re fused to help him in 1888 and in i8!j0 was for Karle against the farmers' movement and its candidate but in climbed on the platform and asked for office on it Orr was in Iagainst Sheppard, who then rep resented the agricultural college and in ISS-S was against Karle, who rep resented it. His actions belied hiti words. Tillman then proceeded to review Orr's comments on him and the work of the March convention, lie ridiculed Orr and Sheppard and the proceedings of the convention which nominated them. Here lie was in his clement and walked up and down, grimacing, changing his voice to express sarcasm and amuse ment, and tiiimiciug Colonel Orr. j Orr, he said, had not patriotism i enough to run for governor but ac cepted the immina?ion for lieutenant governor just to go around and make* j stump speeches; He went for Shop - paid ?eroely and said he occupied ; the pitiful position of being tin? sixth man the anil's offered the nomination to. l?e said half the tilings charged to him he was not responsible for because the other officers went ahead and did what they thought they should do without consulting him. So they had the right to do. He claimed as to the Coosaw matter that the State had proposed to allow Coo saw to work but urged that as a rep resentative of the peuple and the State he had no right to barter and dicker and compromise with corpora tions. The commission, in its action, had obeyed the letter of the law. Orr had rebuked him for obeying the law in the Co<>saw case and accused him of not obeying the law in the Agricultural hall case. lie intro duced a humorous statement about You mans, who was to follow him, being about to "bust" with a speech, lie claimed that the State's sixes had been run dov\ n by speculators, who desired to profit by them. The four and a halfs were now at par due in twenty years. The State sixes were at ninety in March. (A voice: "You caused it by starting the agita tion then.) Some confusion was caused by the persistent interruption of R. T. Causey, an enthusiastic anti, who stood his ground, asked ques tions and interjected comments. The governor closed by a general ridicule of the coat tail swingeis and asses in the legislature who had allowed them selves to be bamboozled and fooled by the newspapers. Col. L. VV. Youmans ^as the last speaker. He alluded to the gover nor's refusal to accept a glass of water and said water was not re quired to run a wind mill. He vigo rously assailed Governor Tillman for his failure to enter the army. Till man answered that was only a gag sprung on him by Haskell ; that when the war closed he was flat of his back, a paralytic from an injury to his eye. Youmans answered laconically and deliberately, with a deprecating bow, that it was very unfortunate, and proceeded to ask by what commission this man who was flat on his back at the most critical and dangerous time in the life of the State, when many who were younger than he were giving their lives in her cause, had relegated to the rear men who were at the front in that time of trial. lie then proceeded to use Tillman'e methods against Tiliman, only doing it more gracefully and effectively. He arraigned Tillman first as a political leper, then as a political perjurer, trying him by his own standards and records. He was very cool, very caustic and very sar castic and soon had the crowd cheer ing *aud laughing at the governor's expense, lie 6aid he would deal very gently with the governor for fear he would claim that he had been insulted, utter a whine and get up and leave as at Ridgeway. On one point the governor rose and said : "If you want to discuss that I will fight you on it at Laurens " "To Laurens ?" answered You mans deliberately. "No use to stop at Laurens. I'll go over to North Carolina with you on it " Cheers and laughter.) Youmans repeatedly reassured the crowd that the "gover nor and I are not going to fight. Don't be scared. There's no danger. 1 1 keep strictly within the limits." But he di<l rub it in hot and hard. He was followed by Farley in a | warm speech in defense of Tillman ! and by Humbert in a brief practical talk to his fellow fanners in behalf of the conseivative ticket.
