THE DAY AT DE%NY'S.
Everybody Seems to be Satisfied with the
Speeches.

Especial to the News and Courier.l
DENNY's August 21.-About two
! thousand people assembled here to-day
| to have the sub-treasury plan discussed
by Congressman Tillman, Col. Talbert
and DR.. Sampson Pope, of Newberry.
Three of the neighboring Alliances
were the hosts of the occasion. They
were very hospitable and courteous to
all the visitors and particularly to the
ladies, OF whom ;reat number were
! in attendance. T.ere was plenty Of
lemonade and q big barbecue, good
weather, good people and good humor.
Mr.. J. 4. Goggans, himself pleasant
and fluent speaker, was the master Of
ceremonies. He introduced the three
speakers with good deal Of adroitness
in the distribution of his compliments.
He certainly pleased the speakers as
we'll as the audience. It was all sorts of
q meeting, politically considered. Gov
crnor Tillman was there looking on in
Vienna; Editor Wallace was there
looking on just so; County Lecturer
Bean was there looking on generally;
Representative Blease was there looking
on specially perhaps, and there were
dozen or more there looking possibly at
the direction Of the wind. Oflate peo-
pie have got it into their heads that
Col. Talbert will run or be run for Con-
gress in the I'd district against "your
Uncle George" and your Uncle
George" is absolutely certain to run
and be run. AS Col. Talbert would say,
'Dat's fach," but he, himself, has not
said that he is candidate-that is to
say, he has not said so publicly or priv
ately so far as the public know. The
opinion is nevertheless fife that there
will be fight between Col. Talbert and
Col. Tillnan, and there is no doubt
that a great many people went to the
barbecue to see picnic between the
doughty Congressman and his probable
opponent. Col. Talbert said that be was
amply satisfied with the resultan Con-
gresham Tillman said that he was
satisfied, and so far as satisfaction is
concerned why this correspondent is
quite too chokeful of it for Ineligible
expression. All the ladies seemed also
to be Unutterably satisfied, and if .
cyclone and a deluge hadn't come up
IN the middle of the amenities the
speaking and enjoyment might have
lasted until it was too dark to distin-
guish sub-treasury certificate from a
French assignat, q Confederate note, or
a brand new twenty dollar gold certif-
cate.
The rain came when Col. Talbert was
half through ard the wind came up
about the same time and blew the mass
meeting into small pieces, up the road
and down the road and into the woods.
In about FIVE minutes after theapproach
of the storm there was nothing left on
the ground but the echoes of the thun-
der of the sub-treasury debate.
1t was certainly all sorts ofa meeting,
politically considered. DR.. Poge,
strong advocate Of the Alliance and one
of the invited speakers,
Sause e@GIzED GOVERNOR TILLMAN
ECL0@sSapl make any Gov
in such terms as Tssssman Tillman
ernor blush. Congreltlhe rgas
attacked the sub-treasury, which 49, ess
equivalent to attacking Col. Talbert,
Talbert replied vigorously. The audi
ence was of course highly edited by
the triangular aspect of politics at
Denny's. Col. Talbert was, in the
slang of the day, whooped up by the
boys. He was cheered when he got up
and when he sat down. Hewas cheered
throughout his speech. Congressman
Tillran made many good points in his
familiar style, and his friends cheered
ane applauded him enthusiastically.
He spoke with tremendous earneStneSS
in many parts of his address. To as
great many in the crowd there was no
conviction but that the sub-treasury
plan is the remedy and the only remedy
for all the present troubles; and is is ex-
tremely doubtful if anything but an
actual test of the bill ever satisfy that
side of the house.
DR.. Pope's speech was received well.
Everything was received well. The
people came to receive everything well,
aud they did it Hospitality and gen.
erously. There was DO bad blood en-
gendeled, and the meeting closed as it
began, in a good humor. AS before
stated, the two gentlemen most deeply
interested were satisfied, and why
should not all of US be satisfed-ex-
tremely so. There was little fracas
that interrupted DR.. Pope's speech.
One white man cut at black man
who was making hash, and a second
white man knocked the first white
man man down with stick, and at
the last accounts all Of these people
were perfectly satisfied with the re-
suits.
