THE STATE CAMPAIGN. Sparenburg and Greenville meetings were uneventful and there was oo unusual disturbance, contrary to all expectations. The speeches were of the ordinary stamp. These was some little spat between Gaott and Duncan at Spartan burg but it was of oo importance. A STORMY TIME AT UNION. Almost as Bad as Edgefield. Butler Bowled Down?Pistols Made Ready for the Fray. The Uoioo meeting on Tuesday, July 31st, was very exciting during the speeches of Got. Tillman and Gen. Butler. Tbe other candidates did not contribute much towards tbe day's amusement. They spoke in tbe usual vein and said about the same things they bave been saying since the cam paign opened. The State's report of Got. TiHmao's and Gen. Butler's speeches is adopted : Got. Tillman was very weil received, but not with tbe oheers of 1892. He said he knew he would be elected and need not canvass the State, but he wanted to get out of Columbia from the rattlesnakes and get among tbe honest people. He paid hie respects to Gen. Butler and said the men who bad made affidavits about Hamburg had lied when they said he was not present. Geo. Butler bad kept quiet oo the dispeosary since his charges at Chester and attempted to answer the dispensary shortages charged by Geo. Butler as shown by the Governor's report. Go v. Tillman said that Geo. Butler was beiog used by some barkeepers or someboy eise, that Gen. Butler had " indirectly charged him with dishonesty and that he was getting tired of it. (Cheers.) He then paid his .respects to Cleve land with abo at the same epithets aod ' long strung ou; denunciatory adjectives, aod of course he was cheered to the echo. Governor Tillman : We want more money. . Voice : I haven't a cent. Tillman took a hand primary of the people who had no mooey?about twenty-five ha de weot up : theo, after begging for more hands, he got about half of the crowd and notably there were some meo lending mocey. His speech oo finance was about as usual He said this was the oaly State io which the Alliance was io control aod let's keep it there. Io seeding meo to the Legislature, said tbe Governor, ask them who they are going to vote for. Don't let them dodge. A man told me this morning that if a man said he would vote for me oo the stomp here aod theo voted agai os t me tbey woold baog bim. He then discussed the dispeosary closing and reopening as he usually does, aod said to the crowd that he could see * 'by your eyes you have been drinking blind tiger liquor" and that he was going to enforce tbe law. In calling for a band primary on tbe re opening of tbe dispeosary, some voted wrong aod he told those that they were so drunk on blind tiger liquor they didn't knowo how to vote right. When he closed with his pitchfork after Cleve land tbe cheers were loud. Geo. Butler said since 1870 he had canvassed this State uotil last year, aod he was not allowed then. He said Governor Tilimao had worked himself op to a rage, aod an old philosopher said once wbeo a man got mad be was a fool aod this morning was no excep tion. Gov. Tilimao or aoy other ma who bad grievances against him could always find him aod he would oot run, and he suggested to Gov. Tilimao that the matter be settled personally be tween them : *'I say bere, now to Gov. Tilimao aod you, that I*do not propose to wash our dirty lineo io public. If he or you have aoy personal grievance against me let bim meet me and we will settle it. He knows where to find me, aod he knows he can get satisfaction any time. Geo. - Butler explained how tbe article published io the News and Courier bad gotten io prematurely. The correspondent bad telegraphed bis paper not to publish the article until Butler had spoken it, that the corres pondent had explained tbe facts to Tili mao aod yet Tilimao, notwithstanding this, sees fit to go out of his way to make flings at me. Tilimao talks about my mouth beiog a vehicle for filth. God save the sewer pipes of this country if bis mouth is oot worse than any sewerage in Charleston." Further, Gen. Butler said : "I have secured these figures about the dispeo sary from proper sources aod wheo be answers them I will have something else to say. He insinuates that I am not paying my debts. If I bad tbe dis peosary at my back with hundreds of thousands I would perhaps pay my debts aod feather my nest, too, if I was like some people. Any man who says that I do oot pay my honest debts says a falsehood. Tilimao telke like a rich Ban. I am a poor mao aod I can't help it. I have done my duty to my self aod my country." At this juncture tbe crowd began to yell for Tillman aod there was a regu lar howliog time. Geo. Butler said af ter a little cessation of jells : "He'll need all the hollering you cao give him." Here bedlam broke loose agaio aod there was ao attempt at a regolar 1890 howliog down. Chairman A. C. Lylei came to the front aod honestly endeavored to qoiet the erowd and all through the speaking he did his beet aod is to be congratu lated oo his effort to secare a quiet meeting. Governor Tiilmao came to the front and Gen. Batter asked him to take his seat. Gen. Butler said : "I understand this thing. You have beeo put there to howl me down but you can't do it." Tbe crowd yelled again Butler : **If you will meet me one at a time I will settle it with you." This caused another outbreak and tbe crowd swayed. Butler with powerful voice, showing some beat: *'Come at me one at a time you blackguards and I will give you all you want." Shouting both for Butler and Till man, but more for Tillman, the men all foaming acd swearing, ran to the front and things were at fever heat. At this point L M. Mobley, one of tbe committee m e and candidate for su pervisor of roads, made for the front but was stopped, aod it was an exciting time. Hands were on pistols and things generally looked squally. The mar shals were powerless. It quieted down, but before it did But ler was shoutiog meaningly that he had come here an invited guest aod "I intend to speak if I s ta here all night." Voice: "Goahead, we will listen." Butler : "No you won't, you came here to howl me down." Gen. Butler said, "I stand by what I said and that there are not enough here to frighten and intimidate me. I thought the men of Union were remarkable for their courtesy and chivalry and believe a ma jority of them are, but some of them bave acted like blackguards. I see men in tbat audience who were with me when times were more dangerous than oow. When bullets whistled around our heads and cut down men by our sidee.r Voice : We would stick to you now if you were all right. Butler : That shows what you are. I sat and listened to him (Tillman) aod said nothing when he foully slandered me. When I come to reply, his hench men try to howl me down. I say to you some of whom have stood by my side when it took brave men to do it, aod I am going to say it. In 1876 and 1877 I took my life io my hands a hundred times to redeem this State. I thought when we got rid of those thieves we would have free speech, but now when a man gets up to express bis honest sentiments he is howled down. That won't work in this country or any where.else and won't win It will bring untold woes if it is persisted in Gen. Butler continued his speech, getting on national affairs, but there was an unrest oo both sides aod quiet was never what it should bave been tbe rest of tbe day. Candidates Ellerbe, Evans and Pope made their speeches, but tbe crowd paid little attentioo to them The Congres sional candidates also spoke. A DAMNED LIAR. Senator Butler to Gov. B. R. Tillman. Special to the State. Spartanburg, July 31 ?Butler and Tillman met face to face to-night off the stump, and the Pullman car tbat was bumming aioog betweeu Union and this ! place was the scene of au exciting alter cation between tbe two candidates for tbe United States Senatorsbip. Gen. Butler's blood was up aod he gave tbe Governor the lie direct, coupling it with the statement, "and you know where to find me." This sensational episode was tbe after clap of tbe storm tbat broke out at the Union meeting to-day, and it ended with a sort of one-sided thunder and lightning accompaoiment. Tbe causus belli was Governor Tilt man's remarks in his Union speech to day reported in another column of The State concerning tbe following publica tion in the Neics and Courier of Mon day, beiog part of Gen. Butler's speech at Laorene: "I have already during this campaign referred to tbe management of tbe State dispensary and asked Governor Tillman what had become of the seven cents per gallon rebate the State was entitled to on bis liquor purchases. In reply he stated tbat he did not get this rebate because be did not confide bis purchases to tbe trust. I was not thoroughly posted then, but bave since bad the benefit of Commissioner Traxler's report from July 1, 1893, to Jao uary 1, 1894, and in looking over ; it find that Governor Tillman is iu error in saying that the State was not entitled to this rebate ss none of bis purchases as published in this report released the Mill Creek Distilling Company from payment of not only this seven cents per gallon, but as I will show you of a much greater amount, and if it has not been paid steps should be taken to have it col lected, as the taxpayers of the State are entitled to it. "In Commissioner Traxler's report we are informed that the first liquor purchases for tbe State were made on May 22, 1893, from tbe Mill Creek Die tilling Company, who are in tbe trust, aod amounted to about 61,300 gallons, at a cost of about $94,300. Of this purchase all except about 1,350 gallons were entitled to a rebate of 7 ceots per gallon, but also 2 ceots per galloo moro ! for cash. Tbe 1,300 gallons of high | price whiskey was entitled to a discount j of 4 per cent, for cash. Further review- ? ing this purchase, I find that the Sute paid the Mill Creek Distilling Company $1.30 per galloo for 17,936 gall?os of single X rye, which was ooly worth oo that day $1.20 per galloo. They also paid the Mill Creek Diet i Hing Company oo tbe same date $1.26 per galloo for 18,581 gallons of siegle X Bourbon, tbe market price of wbicb on that day was ?1 20 per gallon ; so in this single pur chase we Sod tbe taxpayers of the State overpaid On 17..930 gallone X rye at 10 cents per gallon, ' $1,793 60 On 18,581 gallons of X Bourbon at 6 cents per gal lon, 1,114 80 Rebate on 59,950 gallons at 7 cents, 4,196 50 j Cash discount on 59,950 gal lons at 2 cents per gallon, 1,199 00 ! Cash discount on 1,345 gal lons cost about ?3,027, at 4 per cent., ' 120 00 Making a graud total, ?8,423 90 Loss to the taxpayers of the State on this single purchase, amouDting to less than $85,000. I do not propose to go over all tbe purchases made by tbe State, but eimply to call your attention to tbe loss made 00 this single purchase from the Mill Creek Distilling Com pany. "The Governor promises that the dis pensaries will be in full blast again at an early day, and apparently be is anxi ous to bave the law in force again, and while 1 do not propose to give my views for or agaioet it I do think that the State should buy its liquors to tbe very best advantage and not vest the pur chasing power in one who has no know ledge of tbe business, and, besides, I do not think it wise to bave a law which opens the door to corruption. It is not my intention to convey tbe idea that Governor Tillman is dishonest, but I do say that an act that gives tbe power to any one man to use the money and credit of the State to the extent of hun dreds of thousands of dollars and per mits bis accountings to the State for his trust, as is done in this dispensary re port, is, to say the least, an unwise act. ! "I have only covered the first pur chase made by Governor Tillman and understand that all rye liquors have since been bought from this company for tbe State dispensary, and will go no further, but I would be glad if some one perfectly familiar with the liquor busi ness would carefully review all the state ments issued by Commissioner Traxler, and let the taxpayers of the State know whether tbe other purchases were made at or above their value." After tbe meeting Gen. Butler met a man named Mobley, who took a promi nent part in it, and denouoced him se verely and after leaving him Postmas ter Harris is said to have resented a subsequent remark made concerning Butler by Mobley and is said to have drawn bis pistol. About this time Cal Caugbman beoame involved in a diffi culty with somebody and was about to spatter blood with his gun when par ties interfered. When the train for Spartanburg left Union at 7.45 m. Gen. Butler, fol lowed by the newspaper men who bad an inkling of what was coming, walk ed through the passenger coach in search of Governor Tillman. Not find ing him he passed on to the second class car aod slowly came back aud entered the Pullman car. Governor Tillman was sitting on the first seat with Senator Staoyaroe Wilson. Gen. Butler was followed by the newspaper men, his brother Dr. Butler, John Gary Watt?, Cal Caughman and Gen. Richbourg. What occured was io quick order and it was impossible to record exactly what was said. Gen. Butler began by asking tbe Governor did he not know that he was not responsible for .the publication of the article which was premature The Governor admitted that he bad heard so from Mr. Kobn, tbe representative of the paper, Butler then asked why had he referred to it as he did in his speech, to which Tillmao replied that he did not consider that Kobn had any thiog to do with it and Butler ought to have told him (Tillman) about it on the traiti yesterday. Gen. Butler then said that this had nothing to do with the matter and here after these things must be settled per sonally. "You perpetrated a deliberate fraud upon me," declared tbe General, * 'and 1 want to tell you I am ready to meet you aoywhere.r Gov. Tillman retained bis seat and Gen. Butler called Mr. Kobn and asked him what bad he told the Governor about the article. Kobn replied that tbe Governor bad called him up by tel ephoDe yesterday and asked him about it, whereupon he had informed him that be had wired his paper not to use it as Butler had not delivered it at the Laureila meeting and to hold it for in structions. "Yes, I understood that from Mr. Kobn." replied tbe Governor. " Well you perpetrated a deliberate fraud upon me." said Butler. Tillman : "I did not know if you were responsible or not " Butler: 'You knew perfectly that I was not. tell you you perpetrated a deliberate fraud upon me. You ought to have come to me. I define what you bave dooe as a deliberate fraud and you know where to fine me." Tillmao: "I know it." Butler : 4,Yoa know you put those hoodlums up to bowling me down and yon also know that you perpetrated a d- fraud aod lie/7 At this Governor Tillmao got up from his seat aod Cal Caugnmao shrieked : "Yes he is a damo lie aod a dam scoundrel aod fraud." As be said this Cal. threw his haod to bis bip pocket aod several persons caught hold of him. The womeo io the car were terribly excited aod begao mov iog back to the rear. Caoghmao was taken out of the car by the conductor aod several others aod tbe talk between Tillmao aod Butler cootiosed. Said the Governor: "Well, now, Gen. Butler, you are an old man and have but one leg." Butler : "And you have one eye." Tillman : That does not hurt me, physically and you know I am not afraid of yeu. Butler : I don't suppose you are. The General went on to say some thing about blackguards at the meet ing and tbe Governor retorted : "YesT blackguards have full swing now and you are one of the very men who I helped to bring about the euactment of j the anti-doelling law." Butler : Tbat does not matter. I will meet you anywhere and at any time that you may want to. When you bave anything to say about me you know where to find me. You said j something about my debts on the stand to-day. Let me tell you that I have beard something about your hav ing paid off a $16,000 mortgage re cently. Tillman : Why did you not state that on the stand ? Butler : Because I did not want to. Tillman : Because you know it is not j true Butler: Well, these damned insults1 have got to stop and if you have any thing to say to my face I will fight you anywhere. Tillman?I have simply defended my self against insinuation. Butler?You made a personal attack oo me on the stand and hereafter you have got to meet it and I will let you know that I am ready to fight you. Tillman?t don't want to fight you. Botler?Then you have got to refrain from personal attacks oo me. Tillman?You bave oo right to insin uate that I stole from tbe dispensary. Butler?I don't iosiouate anything, aod I am not going to let you say any thing personal about me without hold ing you to account for it. Don't as sume anything because of my having but one leg. I can meet you any where where we won't get ionoceut people ioto ! trouble. Tbe talk continued on in this strain , for several minutes and Gen. Butler I turned away and walked out of tbe car, Gov. Tillman resuming his seat. Thus ended another chapter io this edifying political campaigo. J. W. G. j THE PICKBNS MEETING. Gov. Till man's Fears. Judasess in the Camp Will Betray Him. Pickexs, S. C., Aug. 3.?The only j feature of to-day's campaign meetiog j was tbe attack Governor Tillman j made on the reformers, who are tryiog to have tbe reform convention j called off and a primary ordered in its ! place. ! The Governor encountered a lot of i Third Party meo. Pickens, having nearly gone for Weaver two years ago Tbe Governor declared that he did not like tbe looks of things in the re form camp. Something was rotten. Their paper, the Register, which has been pretty straight until now, was clamoring for the executive committeee to stop tbe reform convention, and its columns teemed with communications declaring there would be the devil to pay if it was persisted in. He had canvassed thirty-three counties aod be had yet to find a single man clamoring j against tbe convention, unless it was someoue who wanted onice or thought his candidate was beaten. If this wrangling was kept up the reform tem ple would topple to the ground. Some of your candidates are bidding for tbe conservative vote to-day. Are you ready to trust that kind of men ? (Cries of "no.") Those men who are clamoring to have this convention changed simply want the conservatives to have the o? portunity to knife tbe men you want elected. They want to trade me off in tbe senatorial race. Onice* seeking is at the bottom of it. Their purpose in having this committee to gether at. this time is to confuse your minds so as you won't know what to do. If any member from your county goes to Columbia and betrays tbe peo by voting to drop tbe reform convention " mark bim as a Judas, and never to be trusted again. J. W. G. Refawm Pleasantries. Col. Larry Gautt, editor of the Pied moot Headlight, resquests the publica-1 tion of the following statement con cerning his experiences with Congress ional Candidate D. P. Duncan on the stump, inasmuch as. Col. Duncan's statement has already been published : "Duooan and I met at tbe County Alliance meetiog at Inman, and I took the opeoing speech, and arraigned Duncan under sixteen specific charges. "He did not reply to a single one, but took exceptions to my referring to the fact tbat he parted his hair in tbe middle and divided his name with an apostrophe. The following is the ver batim report : "When my time oame to speak, I looked around and Duuoan had left the stand. I stated that Duncan had been attackiog me at long range, and be hind my back, and now that I had placed some salt oo the rabbit's tail aod caught him, I demanded that he come upon the stand, where I could look square into his eye, and tell him just what 1 bad published in regard to his record, and defied him to deny a single charge "I started out by asking Duncan if be was not mooing as an Alliance can didate for Congress. Duncan replied tbat be was a farmere', aod oot an Al liance candidate. I theo asked him to please remove bis bat. which he did, aod I replied: "Well, boys, here's your farmere7 caodidate : aod isn't he a regular rose g?ranium leaf of ao agri culturalist? Look at him! Who ever! heard of a farmer parting his hair io ? the middle, who divided hie name with j ao apostrophe, aod named D'?rcy? "I then took up Duncan's record aod ? showed how he had been used by tbe j railroads to charge the people more | than other States were allowed ; bow | he bad misrepresented tbe Alliance, and reviewed his public record. I epoke for one hour, aod on conclusion defied Duncan to refute a single charge that I had made. j "Duncan arose aod said something about being attacked by a Georgia ; buzzard. I stepped in front of bim, j shook my finger in his face, aod told i him that the business of a buzzard was j to discover carrion, and that I badi i found it in him : That I had rather be a Georgia buzzard than a South Caro lina thief, which charge I had branded upon bis (Duncan's) brow "Here the personal controversy end ed. Duncau did not attempt to deny any charge that I bad made. "The next day we met at West Springs, in Duncan's own county, of Union, and although he had the open ing speech, he did not refer to either myself or the charges I had made against htm. But just so soon as my j back is turned, he again begins his denunciation of me." Larry Gantt Kot Downed. The State Alliance did not down Larry Gantt, by expelling him from the order. His own sub-alliance sticks to him aod repudiates tbe action of the State Alliance as will be seen from the following : Resolutions of Encampment Alliance No. 485, of Spartaoburg. S. C. : Whereas, the rumor having reached our ears that the late State Alliance has, oo tbe recommendation of the judiciary committee, expelled Brother Gaott from the Order, aod believing that said body acted unjustly io that our brother was uot given notice of trial ; aod whereas, we believe it exceeded its jurisdiction aod that its action cannot be sustained by tbe constitution of our Order, io that Brother Gantt has always in his editor ial utterances sustained ail the demands of tbe Alliance, both State aod national, aod has oever in our knowledge ex pressed himself as opposiog any of the priociples or demands of the platform of our Order, aod that there is indicated, io the criticisms as uttered by maoy of our Alliance brethroo io our county and voiced by Brother Gantt io his paper at their instance, only the welfare and success of our organization ; and whereas, we feel that we want to see each of our brothers receive just aod fair treatment oo all occasions aod es pecially at the bauds of brethren, aod believing the present iostaoce not wholly free from bias. Now, there fore, be it resolved : 1. That if the report be true that has reached us that Brother Gantt has beeo expelled from the brotherhood, that we differ very much with that Alliance aod consider Brother Gaott io good stand mg until he be regularly tried aod found guilty of some charge, aod we believe him to be as sincere in his allegiance to tbe Alliance any member of that body. 2. That we shall continue to recog nize Brother Gaott as a regular mem ber of our Sub-Alliance until be is proven unworthy of recognition by us as an Alliance man. 3. That these resolutions be publish ed in the Piedmont Headlight and that the other papers of tbe State be request ed to copy. What will the State Alliance say about this opeo defiance of its orders ?
