LHALLA, SOUTH ARoL1NA, JULY 81, 1900

President and ex-otfioio chairman,
and with the corniyance of @B. R.
Tillman, rs Tillman himself declares,
issued tho call now known rs the,
Shell manifesto, iii which he says:
l"We will draw up the Indictment
against those who have bcon and ara
Irgoverning this State" thus seeking
to array the farmers in Il position of
Hostility to other classes of Demo-
cratic citizens and ito poison their
minds against the officials to whom
that party had entrusted the admin
istration of tho State Government
since 1876. For his own selfish pur-
iposes, tho farmers have been taught
that to criticisc Tillman is to abuse
the Farmers Movement, that to op-
pose his methods or nomination is to
oppose the farmers themselves, and
that to declare him unworthy Of
support is TO say that tho farmers
hav no right to mcddle in politics
or to suggest either men or measures
to the party.
