Senator Tulmdo'd Speech. Senator Tillmau devoted the greater portion of his yesterday o speech to the ministers of the gospel Those who dared to differ with his senatorial majesty were handled without gloves With mingled abuse and 11 ppancy and perversion of scripture, he sue ceeded in tickling: tho ears of a con siderable portion of the crowd, a?d got mat y a gt ff.w as his reward ; but it was such a reward as no Uni? ted States senator, nor any other man of the ability or official position of the sDeaknr, ought to covet Ho did not because he could not, refer to any prohibition sermons anywhere in the Htato prior to his Bennettoville speech, nor to any attack made by any one of the preacners upon him prior to that data Knowing that it was his insulting and contemptuous language used against them that called tortn the just indignation of <oe preachers whom he batl so slandered, he etill inaisted 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 tbe preachers" and against '?priestcraft " How much foundation there is for the charges, we are not able to say : we have not seen nor havo we, other wise than iu thin speech, beard a breath or seen a sign of any effort of the kind Because they or some of them, resented his Bennettsville charge?which he positively reafii m ed here?he makes all these Charge? that they have gone into politics and are trying to coerce thHr members in the exercise of their right of euff ag* And after all this he has the face in claim that Dr Gardoer owes him "an apology" because foisooth he said Tilltnan tried to cast contempt upon the preachers. The senator went further still yes terday and charged the preachers who preach or otherwise advocate prohibition witb being dishonest and unfair. He said . "If the preachers were honest ar j fair,*' they would do so and so?that is. .hey would preach the gospel according to Tillman. and not according to their own under standing of it : and tbeu be went oo to tell just what the Bible does teach, be being the interpreter aod judge, as he had a right to do, and as every one else has a right to do?even tbe preachers themselves. Senator Tilman may not be aware of bis owo defecte in this regard; bat tbe plain, unvarnished tru b if, be has so long been dictator in Soutn Caroiina that be considers it a per sous) affront, ooe that cannot be tol erated, that anybody should diffei with bim. We have no doubt in the world that if tbe preachers were subeer vient to bim and agreed with him, or even if they kept their mouth shut, oe would have, theoretically at least, that "respect" for them which he so loudly professed cn the stand; but tbe fact is he has in respect for any boy, be be preacher or layman or what not, who differs with him, differ he ever so respectfally. Taken all together, the senator's speech was jne that does him no credit, though it was very adroitly put in order to catch tbe unthinking multitude. We caunot think he mado any voters for either the die peusary or for his caudidate. He succeeded in "whooping up the boys;" but the more thoughtful por tion of the crowd wbo favered the dispensary did not approve of his at tack upon the ministers, and the por tion that was opposed to the dis pensaiy were driven still further in their opposition than ever. He pre sented no argument to convince any one. 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 hands at his dictation. They will raise their hand on the 28th when, they put their ballot! in the ballot box; and the number of tbem is go log to surprise Mr Tillman, as well as a good many other calculators who are judging by the noise that is made and the hande that shoot up at his beck and call at the campaign meetings. ?Greenville News - M^m -^b?"^?
