CHAPTER XIX. **CALL?.AnY SaM?DOHOWt?'S CASIUAGR" Mcanwhiie a grand event is agitating the upper clro?cs of London society, which is none other than the splendid ball to be given by the Countess of Scarborough and her sister, Miss Honoria Grahamc, the joint heiresses of Sir Barry Grahamc, in the Grahamo mansion, which has been magnificently refitted in honor of the auspicious occa sion?the public declaration that their period of mourning for their deceased brother is past, and that they are now ready once more to enter into t?>o gay whirl of life among the upper ten thousand. And the high anticipations ,l the votaries of fashion wore not doomed to disappointment. It was the bail of the season, and the wonder was that though Decembers chilly winds were j howb'ng in the streets, end all great ! personages were supposed to be uwey j at their ancestral hails, there ivas hard- j ly a refusai, and ray Lady Scarborough j had been very prodigal of her invita tioos Why stop to describe the magnificent balhroom? T?iey said the Cowers alorui cost a thourauu pounds. The Gttcrds band discoursed ravishing musk?; serv ants in the most critically correct liv ery Gittod about the great hall, the sap per room presented a scene ?ihe a gMmpae into a fairy palace; and u? for the ladies' drosses, 1, a mere man, would not dare the profanation of a de scription of them. A proud woman was Lady 3ca> borough that night. TV:rn to the pr.rp?e, she bad never tili then tasted the de light of reveling' in extravagance with* out the anxiety of consi-h ring the cos It was io her ? moment of thrilling ecstacy, rud 1:or ever shorx* as brirhtly as the family diamonds which fished cn her rounded noch. People won dered a little, and I em afraid my lord swore a good deal at her ladyship's ad mitting- the Col bum family into the magic circle of which she wns queen, but the most critical only attributed it to "dear Lady Scarborough's marvelous j good nature," and did not grudge the attorney^ wife and daughters the en joyment of their sodden c?evattoo. And it was a proud moment, too, for Mr. Colbum It is not permitted to many to rise to such g^ddy heights from his humble start in life, and his bosom filled with conscious pride. Nay, it v.-as even whispered that a j prince cf the blood royal would be present, and tho comp?- ay was kept In thrillinjj snsrM ~ic? awaiting his advent, ca<jh i??c arrival eau ins more erasing of necks -_- nd hushed conversations ] than is custexnary on euch occasions. Ky lord had just whispered into my 2ady*8 ear thai his royal highness was j actually on his way from the palace, and triumph was blazing in her eyes when the groom of the chambers- in a loud, sonorous voice announced: "Sir Berry Grahame and Mr. Dunbar?" ! I saw once in an old picture gallery in Germany a painting which was irre- ! s?stib4y thrilling?-a banquet ball, and j LJ?I %imWwMs ? f DU2? ! every guest by the b:-->? ->f a cruel j raajrtcias turned into a. . ne statue. : ! standing :t; theexse? pc: iti?-a \bey were j in at the moment e>i the tcrriblo incen- | I tation. j ihre was a living tableau of the Oer- j [ man artist's ou.:hit conceit Every ! ! tongue was sE?lled; every form was mo- j tioides?; surprise seemed to havo para- j Iyzed that vast assembly.

Ten minutes o? the wildest confusion of tongues, and thon q. flight for the entrance hall, and in quarter of au hour that gorgeous chamber was deserted. I>ut you may bo st:re that Sir.

Months afterwards, when ho found that the Grahamo family pride was stronger than their sense of justice, bo crept back to the bosom of his fam ily, to sink eventually into tho humble role of police court practitioner. What passed at that awful Interview between the brother and sisters no one knows; but lato thai night two muffled figures of sobbing women wore driven hurriedly to Scarborough bouse and tho cert day her ladyaliip left London for tho retirement of her husband's country ?eat, where- aba bas since lived in a state of the most rigid seclusion. It Is whispered that she has become a religious devotee, ana that she will never mingle again ir the ffay crowds she was wont to adorn. As tor Miss Honoria, she went irrto lodgings at an obs-iure watering place in Devonshire whore sbe is much respected for her aristocratic bearing and her consummate skill at penny whist. CHAPTER XX TUB PALL O? TUE C'UnT?H?. There rs joy at Willoughby farm bouse. 0? the hundreds of Christmas dinners which have been eaten beneath that hospitable roof, none was ever half so glorious as this. At one end of the table sits the mas ter of the houses at tlx) other. Sir Harry Grahams supported by Kate Graharnc, Miss L-alderstonc, Dame Barlow and j her daughter, Arthur Danbar, and a handsome, stalwart follow, who has been introduced by the exultant yeo man as "Nellie's young man," and whose cheeks are yet crimson with the novelty of his situation. Mile. Cam piguen might have felt shocked at this miscellaneous gathering, but neither Miss Balderstone nor Sir Harry Grabamo eeem to notice any incon sistency in it. Kate Grahame is the only ono present whoso happiness is dimmed by con jectures, lier prince, her hero, tho idol of her childish dreams was dead and is e?ive again, and her heart beats cxult ir.gly at the thought, but?all, these buts?there is another now even dearer to her than this demi god. Now, what If her kins demand his owtf?? ^hat ?if the man who rescued her from ? life- of infamy, who sur* roniK-ed her young days with luxury, should claim her lifo al' fiance? Be loves her?sbe feels that his affection for her is deeper 'than that- of any gnardlan for his ward. What if all this De time? Then, in sick despair sh bnows that sho must givo up her se?Ssh dreams of another and never let him know the racrl?ec che makes. How tremblingly, then, when the mi'hty meal is ond^d and the'-guests so; tter to make preparations for the eve-dug festival, she accepts his fnvitu^ tSon to stror with him down the elm tree evenuv. "My child!" he says, so gently?oh, bow her heart sinks at what she calls her base ingratitude?*l! have two mat ters I wish to discuss with you?our futures.*' "Yes," she whispers, with white lips. "And selSshly I will begin with my self. My long lirfe of adventure must end In the usual story-book fashion by my taking to inyseif a wife." "I know,** ehe said, standing and looking at him with tearless eyes, frankly and truthfully, "I will do"njy best to make yon happy. 3 em very young, and I am afraid not very wba, but I will be a true wife to you, Sir Iicrry Grahame." "My dear girl, wbat are you dream ing off tho baronet cried, amazed' at" her confession. Then with quick or> prehension, fathoming the nobility of her sacrifice: "But, oh! child, child, what a nobks spirit is yonrs.n "And," she said, with pant?ng eager ness, "you 4-5 not want to marry ek?" "Not I, indeed! You ever have been and always will be my own dear daugh ter. The woman I wo-ald make my wife is Hester nalderstono."

[tue i35td-.? A Row in Nowberry. The following account of the New berry campaign meeting ie taken from (he Netcs and Courier : Col. L. W. Youmans was introduced &3 the first speaker. Uo was greeted wi'h great applause mingled with a few THaian yeiis. lie said that free speech aod fair discussion are tbe educators of the masses. The wisdom of mankind Las taught that the liberty of speech and freedom of the press shall nofc be abridged. In those countries where criticism or public officiais has been stiH^d there jus?ce has died and liberty perished. With Governor Tiliman as an individual he had nothing to do, but his record as the servant of the peo ple was a proper subject for considera tion. Col. Youmans explained how the Farmers' Movement had originated and how he had been requested to take a hand in its advancement, but had refused to take stock in any action which had the appearance of imposing upon the credulity of the class to which he belonged and which gave color to the charges Tiliman was making against State officials. He referred to the letter which Tili man had written him urging him to get in on the he me stretch. Governor Tili man on the train from Columbia to Augusta, in November, 18SG said Col. Youmans, made personal appeals to mo to enlist in his movement. Major Ancram stated that Governor Tiliman had informed him that tbe wholesale charges he was preferring against the Administration of the white people of South Carolina and her public officials were made for the purpose of attr?'- ?g attention, that he could not arouse he attention of the public without hitting hard Governor Tiliman etatcd that Major Ancrum's assertions were false. After Governor Tiliman made these appeals to me I stated I was preoladed from taking any stock in his movement because I cou:J noc ah rd to give any color to these wholesale charges he was making against cur G w?remeat and our public cdSeiaTs. If Governor Till rean denies the trurh of this statement, which I make, I desire to have hiai do so in my presence. Co!, Youmans paused in his remarks, turned towards the Governor, who was sitting at the rear of ? he stand, took two or three steps toward bh Excellency and j waited in expectation of a reply. The Governor glanced at his questioner ! and then for a moment directed his gsze to the floor. lie slowly arose and directed his repiy to the audience a6 much as to Youmans. "This is the next to the last campaign meeting in 1892," said he. "I have told this man at Ilorry that I declined to sink to the level of a blackguard and notice any thing he would say cr answer any question, and I repeat it.'' Excitement and nrrlnnse from the Tillmanites followed. The Governor having delivered himself sat down. lilt face w-s very pale and some who \vcre near him say they observed evidences of trembling in the Guberna torial frame, but this was not observed from the front. Co!. Youmans remained standing within ten feet of and facing tbe Governor, who seemed inclined to avoid his g-ze. Ho waved his hand for si lence and c&lmiy awaited an opportunity to spesk. He every action was in keep ing with the proverbial coolness of the mnn. "Do you, sir, as Governor of South | Carolina/' asked Youmans, in measured 1 ones and pointing his Sngcr at the i Chief Executive, "condescend to apply j to mo ?s a public speaker of the opposite ! side- the term of blackguard ?" "You have your answer," was the ; curt reply. "What is your answer !*' demanded Youmans. <-i Ray you have yaur answer/' came j from the Governor's lips. ! "Governor Tiliman, that is an ova 1 sioa. Will you please be mnn chough \ to state positively whether or tint you ! intend to apply to mc the epithet of blackguard, aud untie my band?.'" Yuamans's concluding words were 1 lost spec the crowd. The accumulated excitement of the audience hurst forth ; :n noise a;:d fusion. U:ieerr< were j uiven for Tiiitnao aud cries came from tiij Cmscrvative throats to "Stand to hi:."., l ou mans . 1 The speakers and the county chair- j man called for order, bur the appeals only added volume to the no'.sr.

It was only the noise of ihe platform ?s it foil beneath the weight c?t fifty men The sectdent let:t The jar was great, but the check was effective. By the time the would-be combatants gained their feet and felt for brokon bone3 the Governor's follow ers had rescued their chief from the debris, and, with loud hosannas, were parading him on their shoulders through the grove. No cne was seriously hurt, and Youmans never lost his footing, bat wa9 found standing upright when his admirers rushed to him aod hoisted him upon their shoulders. Sheppard was treated the some way, bat the most enthusiastic drow tho line at Orr. Youmans was placed upon the stand and cheered to the echo. Chairman Blease asked that Youmans be given a hearing. Governor Tiiiman'a proces sion circled back to the stand and endeavored to place the Governor upon the already crowded accommodations providsd for the scribes. Mr. Mari. Gary, a one-armed Conservative, was pushed off this eminence in the mad rush of the Till mani?cs to gain a foothold. Another Sheppard man retaliated by knocking at one fellow and three Tilimanites fell off the platform. Again confusion ran riot and the timid sought the rear. The Governor's friends concluded not to tarry. Again gathering him in their arms they trasported him to the front piazza of the residence of Clint Summers, twenty yards distant. They overran and trampled down the pretty flowers in the frorifc yard and otherwise desecrated the premises. "A speech !" they cried, and the Governor, surround ed by eoat-taii swingers and others, addressed his one-third of the crowd. TILLMAX's SPEECH TO Ills CROWD. 4,I am sorry, said he, "that things are as tke^ are. I am not responsible, because tL*s man has been told at least three times before thi3 that I would not sink to the level of a blackguard, and this whole disturbance is an evidence that they are whipped aud that they arc tryiug to raise a row. If you can get this crowd quiet so I can go back I will speak. I will speak to the whole crowd, but not to a part of it. They put this man up at Edgefield and he liked to have created a riot. They put j him up first at Spartanburg and he almost created a riot. They bave put him up here as their last hope." [Great applause.] Cries: "Lets go back to the stand." The crowd broke and weut back to the stand, where Col. Youmans was dealing his vigorous blows, and proceed ed to shout for Tillmaa during his en tire address. Governor Tiliman, after a short while, went out to the crowd and stood within ear shot of Youmans until ?the meeting had been adjourned. Standing upon ihe reporters' table Col. Youmans calmly faced the audi ence. As soon as he could be ;listinot!y heard above tLc o..ise an 1 confusion, which, though somewhat abated, still to a groat extest prevailed; he contiuaou to address the gathering before him. 'Governor Tiliman has left the stand,'' said Col. Youmans, "I asked him if ho intended to brand me as a publie blackguard, and he has left the Bland."' Voices: "Uc'il do it every time !" "Hs knows he told a lie i'; Y'oumans: "I don't want to violate the etiquette of stump debate. I have never dene so. If Governor Tiliman can cast the epithet of blackguard at me I take this opportunity to brand him as a public blackguard and a public liar, [great applause, 1 and if he wishes per sonal satisfaction I bold myself person ally responsible to him.r [Cheers for Youmans, and Tiliman yells from the Jfidgefield contingent, who had by this time again assembled about the stand ] ' The record proves," continued Col. j Youmans, "that Governor Tiliman has been the first man elevated to high ofnciai position by the white people of South Carolina who?o standing was so low that the gentry considered he could not give an insult. "I wish to say before the manhood of Newberry that there provailed a custom in the State which debars a man from peeking satisfaction from a man of Governor Tiilnian's standing, but a gentleman coald render satisfaction if I ho so desired to his boot biaok, and if I he hils to tako notioo of what I say I I brand him as a public coward." j [Cheers ] * ! roui Governor Tiihuan at the first j mcetirs: at Hampton that ho could no: j face mo sis rounds on the sraud, and it j appears that he has been skipping th* 1 stmd to avoid me, or at least it seems ; that way. j "i a:?ked for permission to speak I irrst here in artier to catch htm upon th-e stand, lie could not answer the question I put to him, whether the I charges a.niasf- tho Administration and I n?b?c officials were true.

Then notice adaptability, etc, etc, in ag glowing colors as possi ble, be given and enlarged upon. Even a little exaggeration might help and smooth the way to getting the Col lege next winter.' "Governor Tiliman," eaid the speak er, "has been from stump to stump in South Carolina proclaiming as the truth that he conSned himself to the truth Here 19 conviction that he published these wholesale eharges for the purpose of attracting attention. Here he comes out over his own signature and advocates the doctrine of exaggeration to smooth the way for tbe accomplishment of his purpose. [Great applause ] That is the way Governor Tiliman has smoothed his way to the Gubernatorial obair. not by the truth, bat by exaggeration. [Ap plause ] "When Governor Tiilmao started this movement he did not say it was a campaign of exaggeration, but said that truth and right were fjis guiding stars and he called upon God to witness the purity of his intentions and the sincer ity of the motives. Governor Tiliman was charged with office-seeking. What did he reply ? He said : 'I am better able to carry on this fight for the farm ers as a simple citizen and only a farm er than I would be as Governor, tainted with the suspicion of having to advance myself by means of the Farmer's Movement. I cannot afford to give my enemies a club with which to break my own head.' "He said suggestions coupling his name with the Governorship were de vices of an evil one to lead him estray. He had told Satan to get behind him. He would not have office : he *had com menced the fight as a farmer and would end it as he bad began, and for reward asked only your good opinion and your confidence.' What does the show? It shows that these statements were mere exaggerations ; that this was Tiliman blowing to smooth his way to political preferment, [Cheers ] '"I charged Governor Tiliman with office-seeking. What did he say ? He said that examples of treachery to our agricultural iuterests and of indifference after having obtained political prefer ment are so numerous in South Carolina that it is small wonder I am accused of trying to feather my own nest by acting, as the agricultural champion.' "What reasons did Tiliman have for writing the Sheii manifesto? Governor Tiliman at liennettsville formulated cer tain demands. The Legislature gave him more than he asked for. He said he wanted an agricultural college, and if they would give the farmers the land ! scrip and privilege ta:: they would have : a college. The Legislature gave them j that. Why did he write the Shell man ! ifesto i What Jid he say in tr.at ? He said they wanted to capture the State offices. He said he had been pushed out for Governor, forced to the front. "That is not the record. In the March Convention a majority of ths delegates were opposed to making a nomination, and he was uominated only because of the votes of two Republi cans. "Governor Tiliman has said repeat edly that the division of the white peo ple of South Coroltna meant tbe ruin and disgrace of the State, and that it meant negro domination. Who has advocated the division of the white peo ple of the State ? In 1S86 Governor Tiliman, in a letter to the public press, stated that it was the history of ail countries where only two parties exist ed that corruption crept in and stagna tion sooner or later prevailed, that it had reached the last stage and the other was not far off. "Ths inexorable logic of such a statement is that there was a demand! for two parties. In 1887 he said : With no opposite party in the State to watch and expose rascality, we have been getting in a bad way.' In No vember, 1SS7, in a letter to the Elgc hV?d Chronicle Governor Tiilman said the 'harmony of the party demanded that the issues he had raised should be settled as soon as possible.' He said in 1S8S 'unless more regard is paid to tho rights and wishes .o? the people a ?plit in tho Democratic party is inevita ble at no distant day.' Governor Tiliman, in the March Convention of 1S9?. said ho was. the only man who had the nerve, the brain and the ability to array the common people against the aristocracy and toid {hem to put him on that ticket. Ujv ernor Tiliman went before the people, i ile raised the 8ag with 'family quarrel' j emblazoned upon it He ?ont be?ore the people and spoke of almost every j nun of intelligence aud ability wbo j opposed him as an aristocrat and an I enemy to the people. Ile asserted that th* Government was ruled by ringsters I and an oligarchy. Governor Tiliman i preferred charges against previous Dem? i oor::tic ad;!ur>is?r.itions and made i nledges to the Deonle. "Had I the tieic i coule convict Guv j ernor Tiilman out of his own mouth of i being guihy of every charge that he j preferred against previous administra tion-". He has perfected no reforms; j he has lifted none of your burdens. ; The only tiling he has done is to 're ! form' himself and his coat-tail swinger into office."

At'this juncture the confusion became so great that the speaker could not be" heard for any distance. The Tillmanitef at the rear of the stand and on the oat skirts of the crowd were yelling furious ly for the "Great Reformer," and Col Youmans's admirers nearer the stand were lavishing unstinted applause upcrj the speaker. County Chairman Blease stepped apod the reporters' table beside Youmans and asked the crowd to give him their atten< tien. When he was able to proceed he said that he was exceedingly sorry that there had been so mach disturbance, and after consulting with the other speakers and Col Hunt he thought it ad visable to adjourn the meeting and ac* eordingly declared it adjourned. There were loud caUs for Yonmans* to continue. A leader of the Conser vatives leaped npon the speakers' table and shoaled to his faction to go to tne* Court House, where the speaking couid be continued The proposition was re ceived with storms of objections. "We? will never leave here !" "The Tfil-< mani?es would say we ran." There* were loud calls tor Youmans, wbo* hadf stepped from the stand and was sur rounded by a circle of admirers, who* were congratulating htm upon h& effort. Governor Tilhnan, escorted by Cole" L. Blease and a troop of shouting Till* manites, passed through the Antis near the stand, en route from Summer's house to the Governor's hack. Some of the Governor's followers wanted him? to speak from the stand which Toriarans had vacated, but to this he would noS consent. The Governor mounted ? carriage wheel and in tones audible to those in his vicinity declared the con* dition of the crowd in its excitement was such, together with the fact that there was no stand and the farther fast that he had ceased to hope for a quiet hearing, that he had proposed to Gover* nor Sheppard that they get off to the-? selves and speak. He thought it wo id be better to adjourn the meeting and f assented, continued the Governor. I am ready to speak or not to speak, a? U sh ill be decided. [Cries for Till man.] "Where is Sheppard ?*' cried the Governor from his elevated perch. Mr. Sheppard arose in a buggy, bat a short distance away, and undertook to make himself beard, but bedlam again broke loose. During Governor Till man's remarks the crowd had partially left the stand and sought positions near* er the speakers. The Orr banner was tantalizingly waving its crest within thirty feet of the Governor's carriage. A small band of reckless TiUmanites made a rush to cap* ture the offensive emblem. One of their number made his way to the ban ner and catching hold of the canvas stripped a portion from the staff. Bat & blow from a stick felled him to the ground, and a rallying color-guard forced back the venturesome asaad ants. Ex-Governor Sheppard shouted from his carriage above the din, to Governor Till man: "I am of opinion that wo should adjourn this meeting!" The Governor, from his carriage respond* ed: "All right, sir." He asked all the TiUmanites present to hold up their hands To all appcaranees not one fourth of the crowd responded. The Governor, Gen Farley, Mr Benet and Cole L Blease entered a carriage a: <: were rapidly driven away, followed hf a comparatively small bat enthusiastic concourse Two or three ardent TiU manites insisted upon riding to town 06 the top of the Governor's vehicle, and were dislodged wi'h difficulty. Messrs Sheppard, Orr, Youmans and W. H. Hunt, Jr., couuty Conservative chair man, entered another carriage and were driven to the public square of New berry. They were followed by the great mass of the Conservatives, among whose num ber were nearly two hundred horsemen. The Sheppard Sag and the mutilated piedmont banner were escorted to town in triumph. A large crowd of people had assembled upon the public square and called upon Sheppard for a speech. He ascended the Court House steps and addressed his hearers ae follows: "I am desirous of doing everything in my power to advance tLe interests of the good people of Newberry and nota? iog woald justify me in saying a word that would add fuel to the 6ame2 which have been kindled, this morning. In my jndgment it is better for us, better for all the friends of the Administration, better for the future of the friendship which has heretofore existed among your people, that there snail be no father demonstrations That is my judgment and I think is the general understand* ing, and I beg all my frieuds for the remainder of the day to conduct them* selves as peaceably and as quietly as becomes the good citizens of Newberry." [Applause.] There were loud calls for Orr and Youmans but these gentlemen* declined to respond. Gov. Tillman with ?. $3 590 salary can well afford to pay $3 poll tax rather than the 2 mill school tax, which costs him about $17. Poor man, voto for him and his $3 poll sax, and the abolition of the Hen law ; cell yourselves to (he land owner, tondemn yourself to the chain gan>r, and then?do your cursing afterwards.
