A Talk With Tillman.

AUGUSTA, GA, June 7.-Farmc,
| Is. X. Iillman, who is seeking tho
Office of Governor of South Carolina
was in Augusta to-day teaching a new
man tho route to deliver butter to his
customers in this city. Your cor.
respondent stopped Mr.. Tillman
who is an enthusiastic aspirant, and
had Il short conversation with him
on the politics Of the Palmetto
State.
first asked him who would aid
him in stumping the State. He an
swcrcd that Col. Y. J. Pope, of
Ncwbcrry, and Mr.. Eugene Gary, of
Abbcvillc, who are both after the
Office of Attorney General, and Mr..
II. l.. Farley, of Spartanburg, who
is candidate for Adjutant and In
spcctor General, are booked to make
campaign speeches.
"Thcn there is q contention be-
tween Mcssrs. Pope aud Gary for
the same olicc?" | qucricd.

through but they will preach from
my platform. They will all be in
Grccnvilc on the 10th, and | am 60
ing to speak too, if | can get there"
continued Mr.. Tillman.
"What do you think of Kolb's de-
feat in Alabama % next asked the
farmer, for your candidacy and
kolb's is considered in the same
light.
Ills rctort to this pertinent qucs-
ton was: C" sec no analogy be-
tween mine and Kolb's candidacy,
for he ran rs the Farmers Alliance
candidate out and out, and do not
consider myself n candidate of the
Alliance, for | advised the Alliance
not to enter politics, and I asked
them not to take any action as an
organization in my behalf"
"Wcll, who nominated you at the
Convention held in, Columbia last
March 2"
"Why, the people, Of COURSE" he
answered. "rhat was no Alliance
meeting. All classes Of people were
invited to the Convention, but of
course there were numl or of farm
crs there. In fact you cannot hold n
netting in Carolina without bringing
the farmers in"
Mr.. Tillman then said that he
hoped two or three more candidates
would enter the race for Governor,
and gave rs his reason for that desire
that all could not then speak at the
same meet ngs, and that would give
some of thc!a chance to get rest.
AS to the cry Of an" division
among the Carolina Demo, rats, Mr..
Tillman said that was all nonsense,
for 81 am simon pure Democrat,
and will abide by the Democratic
Convention. The only truth of any
division is between the Democrats
and the ringstcrs."

INSPECTOR GENERAL. 81

Editor Of the World. Two very
fiattering communications have an
peaIred in your excellent paper, with
IN the last ten days, one suggesting
me for Lieutenant Governor, to as
sist Capt. Tiilman in his advocacy Of
tho Farmers Movement pIatform,
and the other from my old home
l4aurcns), asking me to announce
myself a candidate for Adiutant
General.
am sincerely grateful to my
friends who have thus brought MY
name before tho public in such COM
pllmentary terms, and | wish that all
the kind things they have ever said
about me were entirely true. With
out advcrting to unpleasant circum.
stances surrounding my candidacy
Tor Adjutaht General in 1886, 1 will
at once set matters at rest, by an
nouncing that | deem it my duty to
obey the call from my old friends
and comrades, Mt my old home, for
God knows, thai during ali these
years of adversely, and whilst | have
been battling in the minority for the
principles which now seem on tho
eve of ascendency, they have stood
by me, and have shown the faith
that was in them. Most assuredly
they know where l can serve them
and the cause in which we are en-
gagged, best, and | certainly cannot
be Indifferent to their wishes.
trust that some ono will soon be
found who can more ably advocate
our cause, as Il candidate for Lieu
tenant Governor, and moro efficiently
and acccptably perform the duties
of the Office if elected.
OF course ! can occupy no doubt
tul position, for it would be incon-
slstcnt for me to advocate any other
than the Farmers platform. Through
many years of work | have helped
to organize the movement as well as
to create the platform, and am
well aware of the fact that ! must
stand or fall with them.
Although every movement which
proposes any change or reform must
necessarily to a certain extent be
aggressive, still it is to be hoped
that our opponents will allow us to
conduct the canvass with due re-
spect and dccorum, in spite Of the
TACT that so many Of them have
vainly cndcavorcd to read us out of
the Democratic party, as s'indcpcnd-
cnts and hcrctics."
Should we succeed, as | hope and
believe we shall, we can certainly
congratulate ourselves upon having
an administrations, and | trust Leg
lslature also, with well defined
policy, pledged not only to economy
and reform, but looking directly to
the progressive development of the
State in its commercial and manu-
tacturing interests, as well rs its
practical, scientific education, all of
which arc so nearly allied to, and de-
pendent upon, our agricultural
growth and progress.

ton of all, and before they knew it, he
was driving home some wholesome
truths concerning our State Government.
He took the broad ground that our sys-
tenn of government is too expensive, and
that the remedy was to be found in a
different system. We are now operating
under the New England idea of govern
ment that al work for the State, from
the building Of n plank bridge across a
public road to the State House, must be
paid for in dollars and cents. All public
service, from that of witness in the
Court of Sessions to tho Chief Executive
of tho State must be paid for, and such
a system oyer has and always will require
heavy tax for It's successful operation.
The only remedy for existing causes of
complaint lies in an organic change of
tho government. We must rec,ir to tho
idea which prevailed before tho war, that

A Question Of Great Interest To The
PEOPLE.

To the Reverend Clergy of the city OF Waterbury;
"Ye are the light Of the world; A city that IL
set ON = hill cannot be hid. Neither do men
nS candesaicf; and Il siseth light to ali that are
In the house. Let your light 50 shine before AZ
men that they Ss your Ths
fore ali things whatsoever ye would that men
should do 10 you, de ye even 40 20 them; ior
and 9Th chap,
Many of the clergymen of this city are
continually finding fault with the under
takers for not having funerals at the
church at the appointed time of services
Now, while this is very provoking to the
clergy, IL is a thousand times more so to
the undertakers, and why they should be
accused by the clergy of delaying funerals
is question beyond our power to explain.
While the undertaken fully appreciates
the nature of his high and holy calling,
we must not forget that he is acting in
purely business capacity for dollars and
cents. To assign any othe reason would
be acting the hypocrite.
Now, what pleasure can there be for the
undertaken in witnessing the awful grief
of those who are left behinda Perhaps it is
a dear parent, whose only object in life
was to keep the family together and sacri-
fee all for their happiness. A thousand
and-one thoughts come into the mind as
they gaze the last time on the face of the
loved, one, and very often those whom
we are anxious to please look upon us
fercely,-as though We were guilty of
cruel action when we undertake to place
the lid on the casket. What man with a
heart cares to linger around such scene
as this, which We have very feebly
describedl
In almost every instance we are com
PEELED to perform the disagreeable duty OF
removing the friends gently but firmly
from the casket.
Some of the clergy do not appear to
take this matter into consideration
this very important part of the question.
We think that the pulpit and alter afford
q grand opportunity of instructlng the
people as to their duty of giving the
undertaken a chance to get to the
church on time.
1t is the bereaved family and not the
undertaken who need lecturing. 1t Il
sentiment with the family, but it is bus
iaess with the undertaken, and we ap'
peal in all sincerity to our clergy to help
as attend to our business.
Very Respectfully,
JOHN MORIARTY.

drive to witness the yacht squadron

cross to q steam ferry on a pontoon. A

A sICKENING EXPERIMENT.
Kemmler's Body Racked by Lightning
For Over Six Minutes.


For Over Six Minutes.
AUBURN, August 6, Especial. THE first
attempt at electrocution was not a sue
cess, despite misleading dispatches sent
out this morning. The physicians and
others who were present at the mornings
horrible exhibition were all pledged to
secrecy, but enough has leaked out to
show that the spectacle was horrible
one.
The current had to be turned on three
separate times before the victim was
killed. The first time a current of 800
volts was turned on for eighteen seconds.
Six doctors pronounced Kammler dead,
but in a few minutes he began to strug-
gle, to the horror of all present. Again
the current was turned on, this time for
two minutes. At the expiration of that
time the murderer still showed signs of
life, and for the third time the current
was opened. After four minutes Kemm-
Ter was dead.
Those present admit that the spectacle
was horrible one. One man, who has
witnessed many executions, stated that
the electrocution was vastly worse than
any hanging he had ever witnessed. The
job was not bungled and no one seems
to know why the first shock did not re-
suit in instant death.
The body was not mutilated, but there
was ia sickening odor of burning flesh
and all present were relieved when the
scene was over and they were we'll away
from the chamber of death.
