Senator Tillman devoted the I greater portion of his yesterday s j speech to the ministers of the gospel Those who dared to dilf-r with his senatorial majesty were handled without gloves j With mingled abuse and fl ppancy j and perversion of ecripture, he sue ! ceeded in tickling the ears of a cnn siderable portion of the crowd, oDd got mary a gi ff.w as his reward ; but it W(ss such a reward as no Uni? ted State." senator, nor any other man of the ability or official position of the speaker, ought to covet He did not because he could not, refer to any prohibition sermons anywhere in the Htate prior to his Bonnettsviiie speech, nor to any I attack made by any one of the preachers upon him prior to that date Knowing that it was his insulting j and conttTi?p'Unuo language used j against them that called forth the just ! indignation of 'De preachers whom I be had so slandered, he still insisted I that they have "gone into politics"' and that they are trying to force the people into voting their way, and he warned them against being "coerced by the preachers" and against "priestcraft " How much foundation there is for the charg?e, we are not able to say : we have not seen nor have we, other wise than in this spnecb, beard a j breath or seen a sign of any effort ot ? the kind Because they or some of] them, resented his BpnnPttsville charge-which he positiv-ly reaf?i m ed here-be makes all these cbarg^i that they have gone into politics and are trying to coerce their members in the exercise of their right of suff ?ge j And after ail this, he bas the face to i claim that Dr Gardner owes him "an j apology" because foi sooth he said j Tillman tried to cast contempt upon ; the preachers. j The senator went further still yes j terday and charged the preachers ! who preach or otherwise advocate \ prohibition with being dishonest and I unfair, lie said : "If the preachers j were honest and fair,7' they would do j so and so-that is. they would preach I the go&pel according to Tillman, and j not according to their own under? standing of it ; and then he went on to tell just what the Bible does teach, be being the interpreter and judge, as he had a right to do, and as every? one else ha9 a right to du-even the preachers themselves. Senator Tilman may not be aware of bis own defects in this regard ; but the plain, unvarnished tra h if, he bas so long been dictator in Soutn Caroiina that he considers it a per i sous I affront, one that cannot be toi I erated, that anybody ebould diffei j with him. I We have no doubt in the world j that if tte preachers were subser? vient to him and agreed with him, or j even if they kept their mouth shut, he j would have, theoretically at iea9t, ! that "respect" for them which he so j loudly professed on the stand; but i the fact is he has no respect for any I boy, be he preacher or layman or ! what not, who differs with him, differ j he ever so respectfully. Taken all together, the senator's I speech was one that does bim no j credit, though it was very adroitly i put in order to catch the unthinking j multitude. We cannot think he i made any voters for either the dis? ! peusary or for his caudidate. Ile ! succeeded in "whooping up the ! boys;" but the more thoughtful por I tion of the crowd who favered the j dispensary did not approve of his at I tack upon the ministers, and the por? tion that was opposed to the dis pensary were driven still further in their opposition than ever. Ile pre sented no argument to convince any one. j As to the hand primary, that means nothing It was not to be ex pected that people who were for pro? hibition would go poking up their ' banda at his dictation. They will i raise ?heir hand on the 2Sth when, i they put their ballots in the ballot : box; and the number of them is go i ing to surprise Mr Tillman, as well ! as a good many other calculators ! who are judging by the noise that is I made and the hands that shoot up at his beck and call at the campaign meetings. -Greenville News Cotton For Charleston.
