The discussion between Governor TillmAn

suit has been TO bring entire harmony to tine

discussion TO develop division In the ranks

and deferential, and between them the kind.

resulted most happily. and the members Of
sthe Alliance are to-day in more thorough
sympathy with each other than at any pre-

In South CarOltna?'
E..I am giud that you havo asked nc thnt
! question. It gives nee an opportunity to say
to onr, friends who may be anxious lest we
disrupt the Denlocratic parry, that we are all
Democrats In Sontl, Carolnn, and while we
s are true to the Alliance, We nre none tho less

4 ns those who are. now threatening 10 cast us
out Of the party. South Carolina Is the birth
place OF many OF u.s.. Some OF us proved our
! love. for old South Carolina in the times that
tried mems souls, and the rank and file Of the
Alliance to-day are inspired with MS patriotic
motives as prompt any other class OF her ci u
liens. And, would say TINT or friends who
are 80 6ulicitous about our future action,
might look we'll 10 their own record. No par
ticular coterie or class have proprietary rights

OF the whole people, to which all members
owe their allegiance, and that the contest be-
tween Democrats Is decided In the Democrat

are equally bound.
