Tillmam and Earle A.. Anderson.

Capt. 'rillman, Of Edgcficld, and
Col. Earle, Of Sumter, were at An
dcrson, in battle array, on Saturday
last. The Columbia Register gives
the following report of their speeches :
ANDERSON, May 10.--About 1000
persons were present at the Tilman
meeting to-day. AS the crowd began
to get settled around the stand and
as the speakers and reporters were
taking their places, some one cried
out ''Thrcc cheer, for Earlc,' which
was followed with a whoop. Three
cheers were then given for Tillman
and then three cheers for the straight
out Democracy.
The Young America Cornct Band
discourscd some music, after which
Mr.. A. G. Lat,imer called the meet
ing to order Rev. G. B. Smith was
requested to open it with prayer,
which he did. This was about 1880.
Captain b. II. Tillman was then in
troduccd to the audience by the pre-
siding officer.
After lcisurcIy arranging some
manuscript and newspapers on the
board he began: "it gives me pleas
ure to meet the citizens OF any county
Of South Carolina and see them, and
let them look me in the eyes, or eye,

Tho Coming Campaign

Promises to DO to the people u means OF
education IN State politics. BY reference
to another column it will be seen that the
the State under tho auspices of the Dc
9mocratic Executive Committee, will en-.
brace nearly two months, beginning at
Grecnvillc, Juno 10, and closing ut Wal
torboro, August ). Tho candidates will
pay their respects to the Democracy of
Oconco at tho meeting for Juno 10, at
Walhalla.
# Already Mr.. Tillman has opened his
campaign and made two speeches, ut
Ridgeway and Anderson respectively.
AT Ridgoway he was met in debate by
Col. Youmans; ut Anderson by Attorney
General Earle.
1t is probable that Mr.. Tillman, as well
as al, other Democratic candidates, will
follow tho programme mapped out by
tho Executive Committee. This will i'll
sure full and free discussion of all the
live issues in State policies in every
county before the election Of delegates
to the State Convention. This is as it
should DO, and it cannot but have the
wholesome effect of cnlightrning the
public mind more and more on matters
pertaining to an honest Democratic GO
yernmcnt.
What VIC want is n campaign Of ctluca-
ton in governmental affairs, and when
toncc tho great body of the Democracy
in South Carolina have heard q free and
,1t <,f
in State polity which now threaten to
divide, We believe that their good judg-
mcnt will approve of the men and mca-
surcs which will do most to insure an
honest Democratic government, whcthc,
Mr.. Tillman should he nominated and
present unknown and unSung.
Thus far there is no other avowcd can.
didatc for Governor in the field, but il
will hardly be so much longer. We OK,
poet to see one or more other candidates
on tho hustings when the ball is opened
ut Grecnvillc, June TO- The way is clean
for any man in the State who aspircs tC
gubcrnatorial honors TO declare his can
didacy, stump the State, and submit his
claims TO the Democratic State Convcn
ton. "Tis true this is Il rather novc
road in South Carolina for Il man to travel
to the Governors mansion, but it is mono
the worse for that. 1t has been and is {;
common way in other States. There arc
now five candidates for Governor in Ala
bama. They arc now canvassing tilt
State and each will take his chances before
the Democratic State Convention. The
nominee will then receive thc support OF
tho party, and thus the Democracy vii
present solid front to the common enc
my. Such let us hope will he the happy
result in South Carolina, whoever may
be chosen as the standard bearer Of the
Democracy. lie may not he the man
that would suit all Of our personal pre-
ferenccs, yet let there be no brccch OF
party fcalty.

which they have been led away from
the sober consideration of their
needs and their rights as related to
this subject have excited my surprise.
Struggle rs they may, our farmers
must continue to be purchasers and
consumers of numberlcss things en-
hanced in cost by tariff regulation.
Surely. they have the right to say
that this cost shall not be increased
for the purpose of collecting umnec-
essary revenue, or to give undue adj
vantage TO domestic manufacturers.
The plea that our infant industries
need protection, which thus impovcr-
ishes the farmer and consumer, is in
view OF our natural advantages and
tho skill and ingenuity of our people
a hollow protext. Struggle as they
may, our farmers cannot escape the
conditions which fix the price Of
what they produce and sell, accord
ing to rates which prevail in foreign
markets, flooded with the compcti. :.
tion of countries enjoying frcer
exchange of trade than we. Tho
plausible presentation of the bless
ings of home market should not
deceive our depressed and impover-
ished agriculturists. There is no
home market for them which does
not take its instructions from the
sea- board; and tho sca-board trans
mits the worth of the foreign mar
kcts.
Because my conviction that there
should be a modification of our ta-
riff laws arose principally from the
appreciation of the vast army of
consumers, comprising our farmers,
orr artisans and our workingmcn,
and because their condition has led
me to protest against the present
imposition, | am especially glad to
see these actions of my fellow coun-
trymcn arousing themselves to the
importance of tariff reform. Yours,
very truly,
GROVER CLEvELAND.

This is May 6, says T. NJ Jordan in the
Atlanta Constitution, tho twenty sixth ami
versary Of the battle OF the Wilderness, and
as Bill Arp says, ''5ld soldiers will ruminate
over the past" l have noticed for some
time the Constitution has been publishing
little incidents and facts connected 1ith the
late war, evidently with view to furnish
material to the future historian. Permit me
to narrate one fact, which L have never

Roman, Longstrcet. Perhaps the best OIL
vision in Lees army, which had been known
as a. P. Hl's Light Division, was knocked

writer for the FIRST time realized there was
truth in the report of one of Napoleon q mar

suffice it to say this division was beaten and

writer met Gen Lee, who eaemed quite as
much disturbed as be VAS six days later
when the gallant Gordon camo TO his relief.
Ia this emergency Gen Longstreet rode up
at tho head of his corps just from Tenoes-

Lee said in measured tones: General Lone

and Jauney Oar CJuper mpsnies, had

Ter. The following account Of the case is
taken from The Pittsburg Chronicle.
"The case CT Ez.e Miller vs. the Pernsy!-
venia Company wa9 resumed Tuesday afser-
noon. During the progress of the case IL
was shown that the Miller system is cover

bss bsen tried before the courts In earlier
suits, one ia New York and one III Chicago.
The amount involved in tdis particular suit
wes small; but as the Jauney coupler is
most extensively used on the Ponusg givania
system and elsewhere, thu amount Indirectly

plaintiff, abandoned their claim under tha

on the 1866 patent. Infringement OF the
