THE STATE CAMPAIGN. The Events of the Week. THE RICHLAND MEETING. Disorderly Crowd-The Speakers Heard With Difficuly - The Crowd About Evenly Divided. The Richland 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 atone time almost succeeded in breaking op the meeting. The candidates for Superintendent of Education. K R. Commissioner and Adjutant and Inspector General led off. They had nothing new to say. Gov. Tillman spoke next. The State's report of Tillman's and Butler's speeches is as follows : When Mr. Ben Tillman, candidate for the United States Senate, was intro? duced, three-fourths of the crowd raised a sky-pie rein g 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," be snap? ped, Mand not one marshal to keep the peace and pot down trouble." (Cheers.) The Governor, deliberately : * 'Unless I can speak and be listened to, WI stop right here. (Cheers and a variety of ferocious sounds.) Chairman Kay, in the midst of the confusion, indignantly denied any res? ponsibility for the uproar and declared that he had done his best to preserve order. Governor Tillman turned his face from the music with the parting shot "that he didn't care three straws whether he spoke or not," and sat down in a chair and also in disgust. The music proceeded, and Senator Butler advanced to the front and stretched hts band in a deprecating gesture.. The storm at once increased io vio? lence. Senator Butler persevered in trying to be heard. Then the lion in the soldier of Trevillian's awoke. His voice could be heard, but it was uni in? telligible in the din. Chairman Bay again attempted to quell the disturbance. A drunken man tried to climb on the stand. The chair? man firmly pushed bim back. A little boy came forward with a bouquet for the Senator, but the Senator was not in a flowery mood and waved bim back. The air vibrated with the yells, bot they soon- subsided slightly. Tillman advanced and stood by But? ler, whose voice could now be beard exclaiming in tones that rang and rang sgain : "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 I" Slowly, as if cowed by Butler's denunciation, the maudlin bowlers ceased and the ooise sank away. Chairmaio ?Ray exclaimed : "I shall allow no man to charge me with unfair? ness. I shall give every man a fair ?bowing. I give you notice that unless the Governor speaks I shall allow no other mao to attempt to speak." Governor Tillman, who all the time had remained perfectly cool and self possessed, began bis second heat. He explained that he bad merely said that no marshals had been appointed to keep order-that was all. The Governor sparred himself and sprang forward to the charge on Cleve? land and Congress. It appeared to the reporter that he was employing the tactics of the Israelites around Jericho against Wall Street. He blazed, ful? minated and catapulted great souoding epihets. Congressmen and Senators, be said, had been bought and sold. He waded through twenty sentences of scorching invective and sarcasm. ''Governor, what are you going to do when you get there." "Do just like I've done as Governor Hun over ali such fellows as you !" (Long and loud applause.) The Governor denounced the ''treach? ery and double-dealing and hypocrisy" of the President, and said something about the gold reserve "being a nest .ss-" A Voice : "We'll break the nest egg-" , Tillman : "I want to put some more eggs in the nest. 1 want to put some more eggs io South Carolina's nest." (Great cheering.) At this point a youth become ob- j streperous at the left of the speaker, ? and for several minutes there was a tempest of profanity and a vast deal of scuffling, but nobody was hurt. When the Governor resumed he had a few words to say directly to the peo? ple of Columbia ; "I came to your city," he said, "four years ago. I have treated your people kindly aud courteously when I have come in contact with them. For some reason or other the majority of you hate and despise me. You have cut yourself off from the remainder of the State, along with four other" counties. If you persist in going to the devil with them I can't help ir. I bear DO malice or dislike to aoy perso Columbia, but you have compelled farmers of your own county to aloof from you. Your streets ari of beggars. There is nothing for people to do except io the oil mill roilroad shops. If you perist io course you can have no prospc You viii utterly dry up." Afte marking that be was already as< j of success, the Governor closed, ai course was cheered vociferously. Gen. Butler was cheered as he t forward to speak, f?e said he sav reason why the people should be ta each other by the throats like cowl It made no difference who was eb to this office or that, bot it did ms j difference as to bow popular govern! j was administered It alarmed when be beard the people crying a for any mao. Wheo he heard t shouting "Hurrah for Hampton," j ago, he had told Gen. Hamptioo tb frightened him. If he had not else but cheap demagogic popularii commend bim to the people, God 1 mercy on his soul. Geo. Butler said he had bee a io Senate a loog time. Voice-Too long. Butler-I am almost inclined tc lieve that I have been there too 1 and if I am to go back on the dei elation of others, such as I have see this campaign, I tell you I will no back. I have been criticized right hen Colombia. It is the right of the pie to criticize me, but I am not res; sible for those who have been or t not been appointed to offices that t sought, I represeot the legislative partaient, and I have no more voice any public appointment of the Fed government than the humblest oitts It bas been said that my official posi entitles me to a certain weight. ? can do is to recommend. That I b done impartially and justly. W meo who have been \ disappointed obtaining office visit that d isa pp o ment on me they are simply j noy and the man who is my friend ; ceases to he such wheo be fails to bis appointment is a friend for revei only. I did not seek the United States S ate, bot when the people eommissioi me to relieve the old commonwealth carpe tbagism and sea la wag ism, I t. that commission and went to the Seo with a Republican majority of two, t finally succeeded in getting my seat December. I Almost throughout his speech G> Butler was interrupted by a di skinned Tillmanire reeking with liqu who was on the stand, and strange say he was allowed to keep it up wi out let or hiodrance. Geo. Butler said that be had no p I sooal ambition to gratify, but be thou? I that from bis long experience in i I Senate he was better able to serve t j people judiciously and effectively thai i new man. "While my opponent," j said, "speaks with great confidence, j me remind him that by bis untrue a slanderous accusations against t Senate he has put every Senator agait him. If the people think that I ba been there too long, let them se somebody else there, but send hi fairly Give us a separate box at ea precinct, where tbe people can go ai cast their votes without being influenc by cliques and Tints." The Congressional candidates, Fa ley, Duncan and Wilson next present? their claims. They were rather p( sonal in their remarks. Duncan pa bxs respects, to Larry Gant in vigoro laoguage, deuouocing him as a jacks etc. The State reports the speeches of tl Gubernatorial candidates as follows : Secretary of State Tindal comp! meoted the people of Columbia being a people of many excelle virtues-oultured, educat?d and churc goiog. With all these advantages, ui happily for the State, Columbia w opposing the great masses of th 3 pe pie and had not conquered her preji dices. If elected Governor he wou use all the moral forces of the State briog the people together. There is great anxiety all over tl State as to to whether we are goiog i have fair play io this race. Comptroller Ellerbe promised the ll< formers of Columbia if elected thi be would stand to them. He admitte that both factions bad made mistake! Ellerbe then began to beard the lion i bis den io this manner. *'I am no hero worsipper. A Wioosboro Governor Tillman said h was goiog to give me a little spaokin because I bad happened to differ wit! him. I want to say to the Goveruo and - to the people, aod I say it goo* bamoredly, that the man who under takes to spank me will get the wors spanking he ever had. (Applause ) am as good a Reformer as Governo Tillman or any man and I am ruunin^ on my record, lam going to criticism j Johnny Evans's record whether it piesses Governor Tillman or not. "Governor Tillman is a candidate foi the Senate. Let him run bis campaigt ? and we will run ours. When I want at ! advisory attorney I will notify bim. j am free, white and twenty-one anc ! wheuever Johony gets too big for his breeches I am going to spank him. 1 Voter-It's all right down in oui i county. Here's the mau. (Slapping ? John Gary Evans on the back.) Governor Tillman characterized raj plan as a double back action affair. 1 ceil you i: is a straightforward plau. It is none of his business. We arc Qghtiog this battle and we don't gel ?i the office from Governor Tillman. W< j get it from tho people and what w( j want to know is what you have to sa} about this matter aod that is of vastly more consequence to me. GeDeral Ellerbe theo got very rash ] and proceeded to say that Governor j Tillman had "made a great blunder in j issuing the proclamation to opeu the i dispensary. The Supreme Court has j decided the act of 1892 unconstitutional and that closed the dispensaries. The j act of 1893 bas never been passed upon j and I thiuk it is a mistake to open the j dispensary until the court decides on i ! the constitutionality of that act. We : could have that done in a very short i time, just as we did in the bond case Tbe sentiment of the people is against j the opening. "lam a w ember of the State board of control and I have never been con? sulted on this matter. If I had been I would have told the Governor that it was a mistake and I would have voted against it." Then came John Gary Evans with the electrifying statement that the people of Columbia bad a newspaper that did not 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? 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 have been frank enough to have said that he himself stood on toe 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 1898 had non been passed upoo and that if Tillman did not enforce it be ought to be impeached. Ue 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 be. "They will last ten years longer that if you had barrooms.'* He said that heretofore if any? body wanted to be elected to office in Columbia they had to go to the bar * On the first of August," said he, "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 meeting and said that he felt like tak? ing Columbia by the hand and saying well done. Dr. Sampson Pope appeared oo 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 io danger Evans and Ellerbe could not be found. Taking up the dispensary matter be said : "I am a law abiding man and I intend to obey the decisions of the Supreme Court of the State. That court has passed upon the dispensary ; act of 1892. In pursuance of that Gov? ernor Tillman bad the dispensaries closed. Under section 2 it is left not to j the Governor to manage the dispensary ! but to the board of control, and in my j judgment it cannot be opened without ! two of those gentlemen sanctioning it. ? I am opposed to opening it, though I '?? favor the law, I am a peace-loving j citizen and I had rather see ^eace in j this State than any other thing j (Loud applause.) That's Christianity, i I don't care what faction you belong to, ? you have oo right to lose sight of the j divine admonition to love peace. I think to open the dispensary again will simply turu loose the floodgates of the devil upon the people and cause the spilling of blood. "Shake not thy j gory locks at me. Thou canst not say I did it." With the decision standing as it does it will cause meo to risist the officers of the law. God grant that it will be averted. Dr. Pope then got down to business I asked the comaittee, said be, to re? scind the order for a convention and I absolve Tindal and Eilerbe from doing i so. 1 did so because the Conservatives put out no ticket. I believed they were in earnest. When Larry Gantt went home after the committee refused to grant my request he stuck a rooster at j tbe bead of his paper and declared it j was a victory for John Gary Evans ! ! As soon as I saw that I saw that the ! Gordian Knot should be cut and I j thank God I have the courage to cut ! it. 4 ! I tell you I will not go before that I conveotioo, but I will submit my claims ; to a general primary of the Democratic i party. (Applause ) I believe io i throwing out the olive branch and \ allowiug the Conservatives to vote for I whichever Reform candidate they j choose, and then no matter who is i elected I shall roll up my ?leeves and work for his success in November. THE ORANGEBURG MEETING. The Augusta Chronicle. Oraogeburg, S. C , July 26 -This was an interesting day with cam? paigners. It was made notable by the sparring betweeu Mr. Ellerbe aud Governor Tillman aud the latter's re? marks concerning the dispensary and the determination of the State Alliance :o apply the yard-stick to senatorial and legislative candidates. The Governor declared the Alliance could run a hun? dred mon, bur ho would beat tiie whole business, and judging from the crowd that faced him today, he's about right. There were about 1,800 persons and they cheered him on everything he said, aud when he took a hand primary keepers on whether they would vote for h against any candidate the Alliai might bring out be got all the vu aod the Aliauce none. Gubernatorial Candidate Kllei bucked the Governor, and declared ought to be impeached, but it loot very much as if he was butting a sic wall. The crowd was impatient to b< Tillman and Evans and didn't ts mach stock in anybody else. Io meeting the Alliance propositi to put out a candidate that stood fours with its platform, the Govert said it was idiocy to inject the si treasury into national politics at t time. \ "I know what all this means," j said. "Some men in South Caroli I have had daggers up their sleeves j me since 1891. They want to pull ! down in your affections and get higl j places. Look at Marion Alliance ti ! passed those resolutions the other di j They propose either to make me eat i words or run in another man. Th can run in a hundred men if they w? to, but I will never eat my words. ! am neither a moral nor a physii 'coward. Ifycu believe I am capal of leadiug you, you have got to ma some of these people take back sea I am not afraid of any straight Allian candidate. If they want to trot out ! sub-treasury dark horse, if fee will mc I me I will ruo him to death or Fm ? nigger. (Loud applause.) If t j Alliance, through its leaders, undi I takes to be false and puts that yar j stick ou you, the people will resent ! It simply means that I can't be electe It means division io the Alliance ai between those two divisions, and otb reformers of the State our enemies w laugh and ?nicker and trot out a cane date. I am not going to fight the Al ance. I ain't built that way I clai to represent its true principles. B for me you would today have thc Th i Party in South Carolina, and your Ali j ance would be beateo as it was in otb j Southern States." The Governor warned his audien if straight Alliance candidates for tl ! Legislature are put io the field, tl Haskellites and Conservatives will vo for them simply because they bate hi and declared if they wanted him to { to the Senate they must ask each cane I date if he was going to vote for Tillmat j The Governor said the extreme All j ance haters, in case the Alliance ticke i are put in the field, will be found vo j ing for this ultra sub treasury plat j The amalgamation of the Alliance ac ! the Haskellites would be like that of tl j prohibitionists and the whiskey Deop j that is seen in this State-children . j light und children of darkness unitin J to serve the devil. The Governor d< ! dared that half a million dollars woul I be spent by Wall street and the whii ! key people to prevent bim going to tb Senate. The Governor pitched into Ellerb j for bis statement at the Columbia meei I ing yesterday that the Governor ha i not consulted him concerning the rc I opening of the dispensary. He declare ! that Ellerbe misconceived his power j and duties as a member of the Stat : Board of Control if he thought h ? (Tillman) was going to consult him 01 j that question. "His duty," said th [.Governor, "is to help control the dis i pensary while it is running. He ba uothing to do with enforcing the law ! That is my duty as Governor. H criticizes me for not waiting until th ! Supreme Court passes on the act o j 1893. I would like to know if I di? I not revive the law and put it to worl \ again, how could the court get holt j of it. ! Mr. Ellerbe suggested it could b< [ done by making up a case and asking j for a special session of the court, ai i was done in the bond case recently i The Governor began to make some re ! marks about whining because he hac j not been consulted when Mr. Ellerbe i interrupted him with the statement "Tell thc truth. Governor. I said yoi i did not call the board together and 1 ! just wauted to put the responsibility foi j opening it where it belongs." j 'Thank God," replied the Governor, j "you have a Governor who is willing ito assume the whole responsibility. 1 j could have gotten out of this if 1 had \ wanted to play politician, but we have : a debt for whiskey, because we bought j on credit, and I want it paid." There was so much applause at these I remarks that the Governor said he had ! a mind to turo loose the dispensaries ! to-day. I He larruped the Supreme Court for j walking up the streets of Columbia and j seeing a dozeo barrooms open and doing \ nothing about it. ! Ellerbe-"Governor, tell us why you ; closed the dispensary. You ought to be i impcachd for it." The Governor said he was afraid the Supreme Court would have made him I do so, and he did not care to bc ordered about by anyone. The court let the act { of 1S93 alone, and as soon as it ad jjourned he decided be would open : again. Ellerbe-"Did not Attorney General Buchanan advise you against it?" Tillman-"No." P^llerbe-,4I 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 thc people might go back on mc. Bur they haven't gone back on mc. aud never will.'' Gen. Burler was introduced as the old war hoi so, and ho said ho was tile nag that was going to win in this race He said Ben had better get out, as he wanted to be President, and ir wa* an historical fact that no senator 'had ever been elected .President.. ; Comptroller General Ellerbe declared he had hoped for a friendly tussle, in which the longest pole would knock down the persimmon, but he was not getting fair play from 6ome directions. Evans's own paper had slandered him on the dispensary issue. Gen. Ellerbe had to do a lot of tussling with the i 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 wa9 like a turtle, "you can get any kind 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 j Tillman for Vice President. Dr. Sampson Pope talked "rather j too plain to this Tillmao-Evans crowd, and they came very near howling bim ! down. He declared he was for the true principles of reform, not bogus principles. "In all justice," he held, Governor Ti ll alan should have called the State Board of Control together and got its consent to re-open the dis- j pensary. I am a candidate before the Democratic primary," said he "and I 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 j out and not one minute before," 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 eaid the reformers must either come together or they would rue it to the bitter eod. He did not 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 tbe Conservatives had the county safe io 1892 until the big row j occurred at the campaign meeting. Gov. Tillman talked more about the j alliance demands than bebas 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, noth withstanding 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 in j favor of re-opening the dispensary. They asked ; "what difference does it make if blood is spilled io 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." Gov. Tillman plucked up a little more courage, and said that he was opposed to the sub-treasury. He also 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 tbe Third Party. Gen. Butler stuck to natiooal issues and bis war record. His speech was j well received, although the crowd be- I longed to Tillman. The meeting was closed with a speech 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 of $o00,000,000. By an experiment \ recently made at the Ohio State Uni- ? versity, it was found that a double team could draw upon an ordioary ; wa^on fitted with three-inch tires just twice as heavy a load as upon a wagon with the usual narrow tires, the trial bavin" taken place upon an ordinary ea rt ii road. lt has been found also thar the wide tire helps to keep earth roads in order by rolling them flit ;ind smooth instead '>f cutting them into ruts. This is so well understood io 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. .

At the last meeting of the Marion County Alliance the following resolu? tions were unanimously adopted : Whereas for the first time in the his? tory of the grand old County of Marioo she has a candidate before the people for Governor ; and whereas that man is Gen W. H. Ellerbe, a true and tried Reformer and Allianceman ; therefore, be it. Resolved, That it is with enthusiastic pleasure and pride that the Marion County Alliance now assembled endor? ses and recommends to oar siter Coun? ty Alliances and through them to every sub-Alliance and every true Alliance man in tbe State, Marion's own native son, Gen. W. H. Ellerbe, for Gov? ernor. With unlimited confidence in his devotion to the demands of the Alliance and bis unquestionable sin? cerity of purpose, if elected to carry out the principles of our order, "equal rights to all and special privileges to none/' we call upon every Allianceman to stand by Marion's noble son, who has been tried and proved equal to every de* mand made upoa bim. 2. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the Columbia Register, Cot? ton Plant and Marion Farmer. T. B. STACKIIOUSE, President, D. Mc INTYRE, Secretary. Whereas the same causes now exist that made it necessary for the organiza? tion of the Farmers* Alliance; and whereas it is of the utmost importance and absolutely necessary to the final success of our cause that our organiza? tion continue, without relinquishing one iota, to work and maintain with re? newed ardor and zeal and to advocate and press our demands ; therefore, be it Resolved, That the Marion County Alliance now assembled do reaffirm our allegiance to the principles and de? mands, as laid down by the National Allinnce and Industrial Union ; and that we will earnestly and faithfully persist in working for their fulfilment and enjoyment; and to the speedy 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 one is elected to the Legislature or Senate who is not io favor of these demands and who will not pledge them? selves to vote for no one for United States Senator who is not in full sym? pathy with the Alliance, and will de? fend and stand upon all of our demands. 2. We, the Marion County Alliance, urge upon the State Alliance to reas? sert its declarations in favor of the Al? liance demands and to sound a note of warning in no uncertain sound ; that the Alliance of South Carolina will not re? linquish one iota or suffer one scintilla of compromise from our demands. That these resolutions be published in The Colombia Register, Cotton Plant and Marion Farmer. T. B. STACKIIOUSE, President. D. MCINTYRE, Secretary. - mm ? i -- Say! You Bee-Keeper!
