If the West is being robbed by the

Livingstone. Polk, McCune and two

meeting to suggest the outline of the
measure, but McCune and Waddill
drafted it. The five cents you send up
there will go. They must pretend to

salaries they are getting.
Mr. Thomas Whittle, in the audience,
objected to Mr.. Tillman's attacks on
McCune ct al. He said he was roinu
to vote for him, but he did not think it
fair to run those men down.
Mr.. Tillman-I admire your pluck.
Mr.. Whittle-I admire yours.
MIR. Tillman-Then it is mutual ad.
Mr.. Tillman continued his discussion
OF the sub-treasury. Distillers he sal d

government furnished the watchmen

Mr.. Tillman-That's what I've been

A LITTLE EXCITEMENT.
At this juncture there was little
excitement created. Captain Markert
arose to ask Mr.. Tillman to explain
how the Federal officers would handle
the farmers cotton and jokingly re-
marked about Mr.. Whittle's Interrupt
tions.
MIR. Whittle took offence and said
that he was native born South Caro-

Mr.. Alex White, who knew Captain
Markert's war record to be as good as
that Of any native born South Carroll
nian and better than even some of the
States own sons retorted that Captain
Markert had heard the whistle of more
bullets around him than did Mr.. Whit
tie. The latter resented the remark
and there was considerable confusion
for few minutes, but quiet soon was
restored and Mr.. Tillman concluded his
speech.

the West will come to the South and
seek an alliance to raise the ,noneyed
oppression of the East.
Mr.. Tillman closed with a strong ap-
peal never to submit to negro domina-

CHICAGO, Sept. 24.-About thirty
years ago Captain James, III. Miller, of
the United States Volunteers, sat be-

eighteen, at a camp meeting. Jennie
had bewitchingly long curls which the
Captain could not refrain from pulling
From the shock Of that pull his feelings
never recovered. The two became in
timately acquainted, and when the Cap

regiment he took away the heart and 8
