Excerpts From His Address-Solution Of
tho Race Problem.
CoLuMB1A, s. G., Dec. 4.Gov. Elect B. G.
Tillman. elected on the reform ticket COM
posed of the Farmers alliance and other
democrats who wanted change of govern
ment, Was inaugurated to day in the pres
ence of crowd from all parts Of the state.
In his inaugural he referred to the national
victory of the democratic party. In regard
to the election in this state, he said: sit is
gratifying to note that this fact was at
tended by political phenomenon which
was surprise to all the United States.
Our colored fellow citizens absolutely re-
fused to be led to the polls by their bosses.
When it is clearly shown that majority Of
our colored voters are no l0Rger imbued
problem will be solved; NO fear Of the re-
turn of negro domination will haunt us; NO
more cant pledges in your behalf. We
white men of South Carolina stand
ready. willing to listen to all reasonable
complaints, and will grant all just rights
and safe privileges to these colored people
and guarantee fair treatment at our hands.
We whites have absolute control OF the
state government and we intend to retain
it. The intelligent exercieA of the right OF
srhrnRe, at once the higA privilege and
most sacred duty of the seaen, is beyond
the capacity of a vast majority of the col
ored men. We deny that all men are Gre
ated equal It is not true now and it was
not when Jefferson wrote it. But we can
not deny that it is our duty. as the govern
ing power in North Carolina, to insure to
the individual. black and white, the right
to life, liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness.'
1t is now believed that Senator Hampton
will be defeated by Irby, the Tillman can
didate for the United States senate.

DELEGATES INTRODUCED.
Other Organizations Befo
the Farmers' Alliance.

Representing Other Organizations Before
the Farmers Alliance.
OcALA, Fla, Dec. AT the afternoon
session OF the Farmers alliance a delega-
tion representing the Citizens alliance Of
Kansas, was introduced by Col. Livingston,
Of Georgia, and all made addresses, the
substance Of which was that their organi-
zation was deeply interested in the success
OF Che farmers movement; that both bodies
were practically working on the same line,
and they saw no reason why merchants,
traders druggists, etc., should not unite in
promoting this movement. They asked for
a committee of conference to arrange for
closer relations between the Citizens alli-
lance and the national Farmers alliance.
The request was granted and committee
appointed. Delegates from the New
York Workingmen's Reform league
and the Anti-Monopoly league addressed
the convention. saying, among other things,
that the mechanics and laborers in the city
we're as much dependent upon the financial
and industrial condition of the country as
the farmers we're and should be eligable
to membership in the alliance. Col. Liv-
inRston in reply, said they would do best
by keeping their own separate organization
as at present, but should fraternize more
closely and confer more frequently upon
measures of public policy. He recon-
mended cooperation and fraternity with
other national bodies, but not consolida-
tion.
In an interview with an Associated Press
representative this afternoon, Delegate
Davis said the call for national confer
ence to be held February % next. with a
view of forming new party. had been
drawn up. II endorsed the alliance plat
form adopted at st. Louis, and
invites all organizations in sympathy
to send delegates to Cincinnati,
It lays down four propositions with refer
ence to national reforms, finance. transpor-
tation, land and labor. Further than this
its contents are not to be made public yet.
Mr.. Davis thought the convention undoubt-
edly would result in placing presidential
ticket in the field in :92. The call will not
be presented to tho national alliance, but
will be circulated for signatures in the
thirty-six alliance states and perhaps in all
the states of the Tnion.
There is considerable indignation among
correspondents over the failure of the press
committee, which was to give out informa-
tion. to perform its duty. A vigorous pro-
test was made to President Polk to-day.
The policy of the alliance seems to be one
of the strictest secrecy.

WAsHNaToN, Dec. 4.-Attorney General
Miller, in his annual report, says: Vigilant
efforts have been made 10 enforce legisla-
tion excluding Chinese immigration, by the
co-Uperation of the treasury department.
1t is believed that most of the attempts to

have the attempts to bring Chinese directly
through the ports Of the United States upon
the Pacific. In regard to the reorQanixa-
tion Of the judiciary, it is earnestly hoped
the legislation nov far advanced will mot
be permitted to fail. In regard to the diff
Guilty of enforcing the Law, the attorney

LONDON, Dec. 5.-The Chronicle publishes
an interview with Cardinal Manning in
which he says his opinion is admirably ex-
pressed by the manifesto issued by the
Irish hierarchy, which, he believes, will gain
influence because it took due time to con-
slider the question before it was issued.
He though the manifesto would carry great
weight both in Ireland and in America.
He agreed entirely with the views it ex-
pressed both politically and morally, but
Parnell's retirement should be made COM
pulsory on moral grounds, politics being a
consideration. Parnell's follow
ers, however, were justified in demanding
his resignation on political grounds alone.
