THAT "PERJuRRD" LIST.
Capt. Tiilnan Creates Excitement by
Naming the Men.

Naming the Men.
HAMPTON, S. c., Aug. 1.-The two
main actors in South Corolina's guber-
natoral drama met today probably for
the last time face 10 face upon the stump.
The sultry holiness Of the day did not
cause any political lassitude; on the con-
rary today's fight was one Of the most
exciting in the campaign.
For the first time Capt. Tillman read
the list Of ''perjured" senators, thus
raising quite a storm Of Indignation
against him from the minority of the
audience. Both speakers were equally
and constantly Interrupted by opposing
factions.
Gen. Bratton finished his remarks
without being interrupted more than
once.
Gen. Earle seemed rather to enjoy
his interruptieas to-day. He had a
'sTillman, the second" to contend with
IN the person Of an individual just in
front Of him. who, looking up into his
face, objected 10 almost every remark.
Gen. Earle confidently expressed the
opinion that Capt. Tillman would not be
elected if a primary were held. In
speaking of the Clemson college, he
said that he was not a recent convert
to it. Before he had ever heard the name
of Clemson he was in favor Of an
agricultural and mechanical college. He
further said that he was impressed with
the fact that the common schools should
be improved. He drew the attention
of his audience to the benefits which
would accrue to the state could the
South Carolina university be made the
equal ofthe University Of Virginia. He
further said that he believed all the audi
ence would be his friends before he fin
ished his speech. In spite of numerous
interruptions he was scrupulously polite,
and sat down with the pleasantest smile.
The applause which followed his speech
was enthusiastic.
Capt. Tllman next came forward,
only to be interrupted like his prede-
cessor. He proceeded upon his usual
line until be came to the subject of per-
jury There he met with a greater inter-
ruption than usual. ''You have certain
men hc q have accused Of perjury"
Some of the audience asked who they
were. ''You know who they areSyithout
my naming them," said Capt. Tillmas.
When it was insisted upon, however,
that he should name the accused, he did
not seem 10th to comply, but proceeded
In a loud, clear voice: I'm name then
all fyor want me to. The first is Bic
man, of Oconee; the second is BUST"
Or coming to the name ofGen. Moore of
Hamton, he mentioned it with special
emphasis. This caused intense excite
ment among Gen. Moore's friends. The
climax of this elimination of the cam
paign, however, was reached when the
name of Gen Youmans was mentioned.
Col. Youzlans advanced to the stand.
and, in an excited manner, cursed Capt.
Tillman, called him a lar and defed him
to prove the charges against Senator
Youmans.
It appeared that there would be
conflict right in front Of the stand, but
some one poshed Col. Yonmans out
into the audience. and Chairman NJ. B.
McSweeney succeeded in calling the
meeting to order. Capt. Tillman then
proceeded to tell in what respect he
regarded the senatorial gentlemen as
perjuers, they having taken the oath
to support the constitution and not
having carried out certain census laws.
During the remainder Of his speech
he was interrupted by irrelevant re-
marks and questions from Hon. Mr..
CauSey. Z. 81. PATILLO.
