THE STATE CAMPAIGN.
The Events of the Week.
THE RICHLAND MEETING.
Disorderly Crowd-The Speakers
Heard With Diff?culy - The
Crowd About Evenly Divided.
The Riebland county meeting was
held at Shandon, the new suburb of
Columbia at the terminus of the elec?
tric car line. The crowd numbered
about 800, and was nearly evenly divid?
ed between Butler and Tillman. There
were a number of drunken men present,
who kept up a continual disturbance and
at one time almost succeeded in breaking
Op the meeting.
The candidates for Superintendent of
Education, R R. Commissioner and
Adjutant aod Inspector General led off.
They had nothing new to say.
Gov. Tillman spoke next. The
State9? report of Tillman's and Butler's
speeches is as follows :
Wheo Mr. Ben Tillman, candidate
for the United States Senate, was intro?
duced, three-fourths of the crowd
raised a sky-piercing yell calculated to
loosen the joints of the solar system.
It lasted for a minute, and as it died
away half a dozen hisses were beard.
At the same moment the Governor be?
gan to speak, and somebody yelled.
Another spasmodic yell or two fol?
lowed.
The Governor's stern face hardened.
"The chairman appointed fifty mem?
bers of a reception committee to do the
courtesies of this occasion," he snap?
ped, "and not one marshal to keep the
peace and pot down trouble." (Cheers.)
The Governor, deliberately : * 'Unless
I can speak and be listened to, 1*11
stop right here. (Cheers ?ad a variety
cf ferocious sounds.) .
Chairman Ray, in the midst of the
confusion, indignantly denied any res?
ponsibility for the uproar and declared
that be had done his best to preserve
order.
Governor Tillman turned bis face
from the music with the parting shot
"that be didn't care three straws
whether he spoke or not," and sat down
in a chair aod also io disgust.
The music proceeded, aod Senator
Butler advanced to the front and
stretched his hand io a deprecating
gestare..
The storm at ooee increased in vio?
lence. Seoator Butler persevered io
trying to be beard. Then the lion in
the soldier of Treviliiao's awoke. His
voice could be beard, bot it was uni in?
telligible io the dio.
Chairman Ray again attempted to
qu?ll the disturbance. A drunken man
?led to climb oo the stand. The chair?
man firmly poshed biol back. A little
boy casse forward with a bouquet for
the Seoator, bot the Seoator was not
io a flowery mood aod waved bim back.
The air vibrated with the yells, but
they soon subsided slightly.
Tillman advanced aod stood by But?
ler, whose voice contd DOW be heard
exclaiming io tones that rang and rang
again : "This is an outrage ? It is a
shame for you men to behave like this.
You are acting like d-d savages.
Let Governor Tillman speak ! Let
bim speak ! I shall not attack him un?
less be speaks ! I give you fair notice
that unless he speaks I'll not appear
before you V Slowly, as if cowed by
Butler's denunciation, the maudlin
howlers ceased and the noise sauk
away.
Chairmain ?Ray exclaimed : "I shall
allow no man to charge me with unfair?
ness. I shall give every man a fair
fhowing.
I give you ootice that unless the
Governor speaks I shall allow no other
mao to attempt to speak."
Governor Tillman, who all the time
bad re m ai oed perfectly cool aud self
possessed, begao bis second heat. He
explained that he had merely said that
DO marshals had been appointed to keep
order-that was all.
The Governor sparred himself and
sprang forward to ?be charge on Cleve?
land and Congress. It appeared to the
reporter that be was employiog the
tactics of the Israelites ?round Jericho
against Wall Street. He blazed, ful?
minated aod catapulted great sounding
epibets. Congressmen and Senators,
he said, had been bought and sold. He
waded through twenty sentences of
scorching invective and sarcasm.
"Governor, what are you going todo
when you get there."
"Do jost like I've done as Governor.
Ron over all such fellows as you.!"
(Long and load applause.)
The Governor denounced the ''treach?
ery and double-dealing aod hypocrisy"
of the President, and said something
about the gold reserve "being a nest
A Voice: "We'll break the nest
.gg."
Tillman : "I want to put some more
eggs in the nest. I want to put some
more eggs in South Carolina's nest."
(Great cheering. )
At this point a youth become ob?
streperous at the left A the speaker?
and for several minutes there was a 1
tempest of profanity aod a vast deal j
of scuffling, but nobody was hurt.
When the Governor resumed he had
a few words to say directly to the peo- ;
pie of Columbia ;
"I came to your city," be said,
"four years ago. I have treated your
people kindly aud courteously when I
have come in contact with them, ior
somri reason or other the majority of
voa i.ate and despise me. You have
cut yourself off from the remainder of
the State, alon? with four other",
counties. If you persist in going to the ]
devil with them I can't help it. I bear |
00 malice or dielike to any person
Columbia, bat voa have compelled
farmers of jour cwo county to I
aloof from voa. Your streets are
of beggars. There is nothing for j
people to do except io the oil mills
roilroad shops. If you perist io
course you cao have oo prosper
You will utterly dry up/' After
marking that be was already asst
of success, the Governor closed, an*
course was cheered vociferously.
Gen. Butler was cheered as he a
forward to speak. He said he saw
reason why the people should be tak
each other by the throats like cowbc
It made no difference who was elec
to this office or that, but it did mas
difference as to how popular goverom
was administered It alarmed 1
wheo he heard the people crying al<
for any man. When be heard th
shouting "Hurrah for Hampton," ye
ago. he had told Gen. Hamption tba
frightened him. If he had nothi
else bat cheap demagogic popularity
commend him to tbe people, God hi
mercy on hts soul.
Gen. Butler said he had bees in
Senate a long time.
Voice-Too long.
Butler-I am almost inclined to.
lieve that I have been there too loi
and if I am to go back on the deot
ciatioo of others, such as I have seen
this campaign, I tell you I will not
back.
I have been criticized right here
Colombia. It is the right of the p<
pie to criticize me, bat I am no: resp<
sible for those who have been or ha
not been appointed to offices that th
sought, I represent the legislative <
partaient, and I have no more voice
any public appointment of the Fedei
government than the hamblest citize
It bas been said that my official positi
entitles me to a certain weight. Ail
can do is to recommend. That I ba

1 did not seek the United States Sei
ate. but when tb? people commissions
me to relieve the old commonwealth
carpetbag is m and scala wagism, I toe
that commission and went to the Sena
with a Republican majority of two, ac
finally succeeded in getting my seat i
December.
Almost throughout his speech Get
Butler was interrupted by a dar
skinned Tillmanire reeking with Hquoi
who was on the stand, and strange I
say he was allowed to keep it up witt
out let or hindrance.
Gen. Butler said that he had no pei
sooal ambitioo to gratify, but he though,
that from bis long experience in th
Senate he was better able to serve th
people judiciously and effectively than
newman. "While my opponent,*' h
paid, "speaks with great confidence, le
me remind bim than by bis untrue an
slanderous accusations against th
Senate he has put every Senator agaios
him. If the people think that I bav
beeo tbere too long, let them seo?
somebody els? there, but send bin
fairly Give us a separate box at eacl
precinct, where the people can go an?
cast their votes without being influence;
by cliques and rings.''
The Congressional candidates, Far
ley, Duncan and Wilson next presentee
their claims. They were rather per
sonal in their remarks. Duncan pate
his respects, to Larry Gant io vigorooi
laogaage, denouncing him as a jackal
etc.
The State reports the speeches of thc
Gubernatorial candidates as follows :
Secretary of State Tindal compli?
mented the people of Columbia af
being a people of many excellent
virtues-cultured, educated aod church
goiog. With all these advantages, un?
happily for the State, Colombia was
opposing the great masses of th 3 peo?
ple aod had not conquered ber preju?
dices. If elected Governor be would
ose all toe moral forces of the State to
briog tbe people together.
Tbere is great anxiety all over the
State as to to whether we are goiog to
have fair play io this race.
Comptroller Ellerbe promised the Re?
formers of Colombia if elected that
he would stand to them. He admitted
that both factions bad made mistakes.
Ellerbe theo began to beard the lion io
his deo io this manner.
**I am DO hero worsipper. At
Wioosboro Governor Tillman said he
was goiog to give me a little spanking
becaose I had happened to differ with
him. I want to say to the Governor
and ? to the people, and I say it good
bomoredly, that the mao who under?
takes to spank me will get the worst
spanking he ever had. (Applause ) I
am as good a Reformer as Governor
Tillman or aoy mao and I am running
oo my record, lam goiog to criticise
Johnny Evans's record whether it
pleases Governor Tillman or not.
"Governor Tillman is a candidate for
the Senate. Let him ruo bis campaign
and we will run ours. Wheo I want an
advisory attoroey I will notify him. I
am free, white and twenty-one and
whenever Johnny gets too big for his
breeches I am going to spank him.
Voter-It's all right down io our
county. Here's lo mau. (Slapping
John Gary E"<*ns on the back.)
Go ver*: ^r Tillman characterized my
plan as a double back action affair. I
tell you ic is a straightforward plan.
It is none of his business. We are
fighting this battle and we don't get.
the office from Governor Tillman. Wc
get it from the people and what we j
want to know is what you have to say j
about this matter and that is of vastly !
more consequence to me.
Geoeral Ellerbe then got very rash !
; and proceeded to say that Governor i
j Tillman had "made a great blunder in
j issuing the proclamation to open the
j dispensary. The Supreme Court has
! decided the act of 1892 unconstitutional
! and that closed the dispensaries. The
j act of 1893 has never been passed apon j
i aud I think it is a mistake to open the
: dispensary until the court decides on
' the constitutionality of that act. We 1
! could have that done in a very short
time, just as we did in the bond case j
j The sentiment of the people is agaiost j
j the opening.
''I am a LU ember of the State board
of control and I have never been con- j
suited on this matter. If I had been I \
would have told the Governor that it j
j was a mistake and I would have voted i
I against it."
Theo came John Gary Evans with
the electrifying statement that the j
people of Columbia had a newspaper
that did cot represent them. If the
young men were at the head of things
they would condemn this narrow-mind- ?
ed policy.
He referred to Ellerbeks remarks
about a primary as the "utter despera- j
tion of a defeated candidate appealing
to the prejudices of the people/'
He declared that when Ellerbe criti?
cised the Governor for opposing some
of the Alliance demands he ought to
CS
have been frank enough to have said
that he himself stood on tue same
platform. Ellerbe was advising the
people to join' the Alliance when he
himself was not a member of it.
Evans said that the dispensary act
of 1893 had not been passed upon and
that if Tillman did not enforce it he
ought tu be impeached. Ile thought
that the dispensary law was the the best
ever devised and that if Ellerbe was
allowed to tinker with it he would ruin |
it.
"It's good for bellies," said he. ?
"They will last ten years longer that if
you had barrooms."
He said that heretofore if any
bod y wanted to be elected to office in
Columbia they had to go to thc bar- !
keepers.
"On the first of August," said be,
"you will have the dispensary despite
the action of the board of control to the
contrary."
Evans complimented the good order,
peace and sobriety displayed at the j
meeting and said that he felt like tak- j
ing Columbia by the hand and saying
well done.
Dr. Sampson Pope appeared on the
campaign again after a long ab?
sence. He made a notable speech in
a conservative vein and said that he
was not the man to excite passions in
order to get office. He declared that
many a time when the Reform move?
ment was in danger Evans and Ellerbe
could not be found.
Taking up the dispensary matter be '
said : "I am a law abiding man and I j
intend to obey the decisions of the j
Supreme Court of the State. That j
court has passed upon the dispensary
act of 1892. In pursuance of that Gov- j
ernor Tillman had the dispensaries
closed. Under section 2 it is left not to !
the Governor to manage the dispensary
but to the board of control, and in my !
judgment it cannot be opened without j
two of those gentlemen sanctioning it. !
I am opposed to opening it, though 1j
favor the law, I am a peace-loving
citizen and I had rather see peace in
this State than any other thi?.?
(Loud applause.) That's Christianity, j
I don't care what faction yon belong to,
you have no right to lose sight of the j
divine admonition to love peace. I j
think to open the dispensary again will j
simply turu loose the floodgates of the
devil upon the people and cause the I
spilling of blood. "Shake not thy
gory jocks at me. Thou canst not say
1 did it." With the decision standing j
as it does it will cause men to risist the
officers of the law. God grant that it !
will be averted.
Dr. Pope then got down to business
I asked the committee, said he, to re- j'
scind the order for a convention and I
absolve Tindal and Eilerbe from doing
so. 1 did so because the Conservatives
put out no ticket. I believed they were j
in earnest. When Larry Gantt went
home after the committee refused to
grant my request he stuck a rooster at ;
the head of his paper and declared it
was a victory for John Gary Evaos ! ?
As soon as I saw that I saw that the
Gordian Koot should be cut and I j
thauk God I have the courage to cut
it. ?
I tell you I will not go before that i
convention, but I will submit my claims
to a general primary of the Democratic
party. (Applause ) I believe in ?
throwing out the olive branch and ?
allowing the Conservatives to vote for!
whichever Reform candidate they j
choose, and then no matter who is ;
elected I shall roll up my sleeves and
work for his success in November.
THE ORAN GE BUR G MEETING.
The Augusta Chronicle.
Oraogeburg, S. C , July 26 -This
was an interesting day with cam?
paigners. It waa made notable by the
sparring between Mr. Ellerbe and
Governor Tillman aud the latter's re?
marks concerning the dispensary and
the determination of the ?State Alliance
to apply the yard-stick to senatorial and
legislative candidates. The Governor
declared the Alliance could run a hun?
dred tuen, but he would beat, the whole
business, and judging from the crowd
that faced bim today, he's about right.
There were about 1,800 persons aud
they cheered him on everything lie
said, aud when he took a hand primary .
OD whether tbey would vote for hi
against any candidate the Al ?ian
might bring out be got all the vot
aod the Aliaoce none.
Gubernatorial Caodidate Ellerl
bucked the Governor, and declared 1
ought to be impeached, but it look?
very much as if he was butting a stol
wall. The crowd was impatient to be
Tillman and Evans and didn't tal
much stock in anybody else.
Io meetiog the Alliance propositk
to put out a candidate that stood a
fours with its platform, the Govero>
said it was idiocy to inject the su
treasury into national politics at th
time.
"I know what all this means," I
said. ''Some men in South Carolii
have had daggers up their sleeves f
me since 1891. They want to pull n
down in your affections and get hight
places. Look at Marion Alliance th
passed those resolutions the other da;
They propose either to make me eat'm
words or run in another man. The
can run in a hundred men if they wai
to, but I will never eat my words,
am neither a moral nor a physic
coward. Ifycu* believe 1 am capab
of leading you, you have got to mali
some of these people take back seat:
I am not afraid of any straight Alliaoc
candidate. If they want to trot out
sub-treasury dark horse, if fee will met
me I will run him to death or Fm
nigger. (Loud applause.) If tb
Alliance, through its leaders, undei
takes to be false and puts that yard
stick ou you, the people will resent il
It simply means that I can't be elected
It means division in the Alliance an
between those two divisions, and otbe
reformers of the State our enemies wil
laugh and snicker and trot out a candi
date. I am not going to fight the Alli
ance. I ain't built that way I clair
to represent tts true principles. Ba
for me you would today have thc Thin
Party in South Carolina, and your Alli
ance would be beaten as it was in othe
Southern States.''
The Governor warned his audienc
if straight Alliance candidates for th
Legislature are put in the field, th
Haskellites and Conservatives will voti
for them simply because they hate bin
and declared if they wanted him to g<
to the Senate they must ask each candi
date if be was going to vote for Tillman
The Governor said the extreme Alli
ance haters, in case the Alliance ticket
are put in the field, will be found vot
ing for this ultra sub treasury plan
The amalgamation of the Alliance ant:
the Haskellites would be like that of th*
prohibitionists and the whiskey oeoplt
that is seen in this State-children o
light and children of darkness uniting
to serve the devil. The Governor de?
clared that half a million dollars woulc
be spent by Wail street and the whis?
key people to prevent bim going to the
Senate.
The Governor pitched into Ellerbt
for his statement at the Columbia meet?
ing yesterday that the Governor had
not consulted him concerning the re?
opening of the dispensary. He declared
that Ellerbe misconceived his powers
and duties as a member of the State
Board of Control if he thought he
(Tillman) was going to consult him on
that question. "His duty," said the
Governor, "is to help control the dis?
pensary while it is running. He bas
nothing to do with enforcing the law.
That is my duty as Governor. He
criticizes me for not waiting until the
Supreme Court passes on the act of
1893. I would like to koow if I did
not revive the law and put it to work
again, how could the court get hold
of it.
Mr. Ellerbe suggested it could be
done by making up a case and asking
for a special session of the court, as
was done iu the bond case recently.
The Governor began to make some re?
marks about whining because he bad
not been consulted when Mr, Ellerbe
interrupted him with the statement :
"Tell thc truth. Governor. I said you
did Dot call the board together and I
just wanted to put the responsibility for
opening it where it belongs."
'Thank God," replied the Governor,
"you have a Governor who is willing
to assume the whole responsibility. I
could have gotten out of this if 1 had
wanted to play politician, but we have
a debt for whiskey, because we bought
on credit, aod I want it paid."
There was so much applause at these
remarks that the Governor said he had
a mind to turn loose the dispensaries
to-day.
He larruped the Supreme Court for
walking up the streets of Columbia and
seeing a dozen barrooms open and doing
nothing about it.
Ellerbe-"Governor, tell us why you i
closed the dispensary. You ought to be
impcachd for it."
The Governor said he was afraid the j
Supreme Court would have made him
do so, and be did not care to bc ordered !
about by anyone. The court let the act j
of 1893 alone, and as soon as it ad- j
jourtied he decided be would open j
again.
Ellerbe-"Did not Attorney General !
Buchanan advise you against it ?"
Tillman-"No."
Ellerbe-"I heard he did "
Tillman-"Well he was a little weak
backed, like you, and he wanted to wait
till after the primary, as he was afraid
the people might go back on me. iiiu
they haven't gone back ou mc, and
never will."
Gen. Hurler was introduced as the
old war boise, and he said he was tile
nair that wa> going to win in this race
He said l>en had better get out, as bc
wanted to be President, and ir was an
historical fact that uo senator had ever
been elected President.
Comptroller General Ellerbe declared
he had hoped for a friendly tussle, in j
which the longest pole would knock
down the persimmon, but he was Dot j
getting fair play from 6ome directions, j
Evans's own paper had slandered bim
00 the dispensary issue. Gen. Ellerbe
had to do a lot of tussling with the
crowd, and between that and dodging
the rain he did not get a chance to say
much.
John Gary Evans struck an awfully
friendly crowd to-day, and they listened
with great glee to him. He said Eller?
be was like a turtle, "you can get any
kiud of meat in him you want " He
said Cleveland Democrats were worse
than Republicans, and knew no more
about Democracy than a hog did
about salvation. He was for? a Wes?
tern man for President in 1896 with
Tillman for Vice Presideot.
Dr. Sampson Pope talked "rather
too plain to this Tillman-Evans crowd,
and they came very near howling him
down. He declared he was for the
true principles of reform, not bogus
principles. "In all justice," he held,
Governor Tillman should have called
the State Board of Control together
and got its consent to re open the dis?
pensary. I am a candidate before the
Democratic primary,77 said he "and
1 will not be a candidate before a re?
form convention."
"Sit down, then," cried a gruff-voiced
follow off the stand.
"I will sit down when my time is
out and not one minute before/7 replied
Dr. Pope, and the Evans boys and Till?
man boys began yelling, and just then
the chairman called "time" and Dr.
Pope took his seat.
Secretary of State Tindal said the
reformers must either come together or
they would rue it to the bitter end. He
did uot ask them simply to vote for
him, but only to look the future square?
ly in the face and mark well where they
stood.
Speeches were made by other candi?
dates, eliciting the same old story with
nothing of interest J. W. G.
THE NEWBERRY MEETING.
The meeting was orderly, and the
speakers stuck more closely to a legi?
timate discussion of issues than they
have at any of the recent meetings.
There were many men from Edgefield,
who did most of the yelling. The
crowd was, however, unusually good
humored, and there was no disturb?
ance.
The general opinion in Newberry is
that the Conservatives will carry the
county by a safe majority. Even the
Reformers are beginning to realize that
their chances are dwindling away in
Newberry county. It is a well known
fact that the Conservatives had the
county safe in 1892 until the big row
occurred at the campaign meeting.
Gov. Tillman talked more about the
alliaoce demands than he bas at any time
yet since the campaign opened. He, of
course, depreciated the fight that the
alliance seems determined to wage
against all candidates, who do not sup?
port every one of the planks in the
Ocala platform. He predicted that the
alliaoce would but its brains out if
it fought for the sub-treasury before it
got an increase of the currency. Gov
Tillman plainly fears the alliance,
nothwithstanding his big talk to the con?
trary sometime ago. He is willing to
run over the alliance, but he don't want
a fight with it.
Gen. Butler made a speech that took
well with the crowd. He referred to
several incidents of his war record, and
the old soldiers cheered him to the
echo.
The other speeches were not new,
nor particularly interesting.
THE LAURENS MEETING.
The Laurens meeting held on Satur?
day, was lively, but there were no
particularly important developments
Tillman and Evans both spoke io
favor of re-opening the dispensary.
They asked : "what difference does it
make if blood is spilled in the effort
to carry out the law?" Gov. Tillman
coolly declared that, "if the law is
resisted we may have to kill a few of
them.7'
Gov. Tillman plucked up a little
more courage, aod said that he was !
opposed to the sub-treasury. He also j
made bold to claim that he had saved the |
alliance from destruction, by keeping
it in the Democratic party when some
of the leaders wanted to go over to the
Third Party.
Geo. Butler stuck to natiooal issues
and bis war record. His speech was j
well received, although the crowd be- j
longed to Tillman.
The meeting was closed with a speech j
from no less a person than Senator J. !
L. M. Irby.

An agricultural writer has estimated j
that the farmers of the United States j
waste every year by wear and tear of
horse flesh and the loss of time con- j
sequent upon the use of the ordinary I
narrow wagon tire, the enormous sum j
of $o00.000,000. By an experiment !
recently made at the Ohio State Uni- i
versi?y, it was found that a double
team could draw upon an ordinary i
wa^00 fitted with three-inch tires just
twice as heavy a load as upon a wagon
with the usual narrow tires, the trial
having taken place upon an ordinary
earth road.
?! has been found also r h at the wide
tire helps to keep earth roads in order
by rolling them flat and smooth
instead of cutting them into
ruts. This is so well understood in the
old countries that some European
governments lay a tax on the narrow
tires, and the money thus accumulated
is spent in keeping the roads in order. *.

T. 6. STACKUOCSE, President,
D.MCINTYBE, Secretary.
Whereas the same causes now exist
that made it necessary for the organiza?
tion of the Farmers1 Alliance; and
whereas it is of tbe utmost importance
j and absolutely necessary to the final

accomplishment of these, our demands.
We, the Marion County Alliance, urge
and admonish every true Allianceman
who values our demands to see to it
than no ooe is elected to the Legislature
or Senate wbo is not in favor of these
demands and who will not pledge them?
selves to vote for no one for United
Stares Senator who is not in full sym?
pathy with the Alliance, and will de?
fend and stand upon all of oar demands.
2. We, the Marion County Alliance,
urge upon the State Alliaoce to reas?
