GEN. EARLE's CANDIDACY.
am here at the call of 325 men. Who
does Earle represent? A voice: "That
twenty-onc conference No, he claims not
to have even that backing. In 1883 We
wanted Inn because we knew him to be pure
and honest, but his sense Of duty wouldn't
allow him to run. Now he doesn't deserve
our support, for no man should ever turn his
back on the people when they demand his
services.
We were tricked. don't say he tricked
us, but somebody did. lie won't discuss
your platform, in fact he is trying to push
Inc off and get on himself lie insults you
by saying you haven't used Democratic
measures. He talks about debauchery and
corruption, but you can't get him to tell
what he proposes to do. lie picks at nc,
and does nothing for himself.
After giving his usual account Of the re-
apportionnent question he said: The Con-
stitution has been broken, and because 1
have spoken freely they say, "Oh this
man will never be Governor; we will appeal
to the negro" | have heard such threats
as those made here to-day. 1 have no charge
to make against William Munro, because he
was honest at heart and he proved it.
But thero were Senators who voted twice
against that census bill and took advantage
OF this wrong. When n man swears TO do
his duty and doesn't do it, he lies. When
he has lied, ho is guilty of perjury. That
is n hard word. ] don't say Judge Izar
was rewarded for that vote, but do cay he
had no right to rob Edgefield Of her rights
If this same Constitution that he refused to
obey should come in conflict with his lordly
ideas he would not hesitate to override it
l for one would not like to be tried before
him.
Here Mr.. Charles Meng interrupted him
by saying: al want an explanation Of what
you said about Bill Munro. We are Munro
men and tins is Munro's county"
Tillman in reply said 81 have already
explained that but i will say, that if every
man in this county should fall down and
worship him it would not keep me from
telling the truth.
voice: "What was that about the negro
getting into ofiice?'
Tillman: "Thc negro will never get into
Office in South Carolina by my help. / be-
lievc you all will rise right here aud take an
oath that he will never again get into

THE SHELL CIRCULAR.
sapt. Tillman then attempted to defend
Shells circular. Earle rays it was incen-
diary and wrong, but how mauy of you
have lost your homes by reason of your
lawsl ! have already said you haven't any
liberty worth speaking of. SO you see it
amt 50 bLd after all, but is truth.
BEGGING THE TARIFF QUESTION.
don't care to discuss national politics in
this campaign, but | will say am no Pro-
tcc'ionst, and l would like all the free
trade We can get. The tariff that is hurting
is the tariff you pay the raj roads in freight
on your bread and meat. They try TO mako
