and most Indifferent character, but
half the time there is such scanty
supply that the convicts don't get
enough to eat, as their looks plainly
indicate. Two of the men, Alex.
Wright and John Steele, have had
cases of dropsy. William Bruton's right
side is paralSzcd. Not to mention
numerous others who have bad colds.
There are not more than half a dozen
who have on shoes, and what they
have are so worn and broken as to be
unserviceable.
"Not the slightest provision was
made by the penitentiary officials for
their expenses on their return trip.
There were no pots. no pans, no meat,
nor bread, nor anything. The party left
the railroad camp about noon Monday,
and the only meal the convicts got was
breakfast at Darlington, absolutely
nothing else, except what fell to them
through the charity ofthe people along
the way, and the gentleman who ac-
companied them as far as Sumter.
Anyone who doubts the correctness Of
the above statements should have seen
what the writer saw at the Sumter
depot yesterday. There was the unmis-
taxable and general look of squalor,
4eisSs.1,y; 4e2ii:ss1 md -ewrfaatehsdness -perxading
the whole group, and the lack Of hu-
manity and attention were but too
plainly visible. It was sight, to use
the words of our dictator, at which
"the mind revolts and the imagination
sickens.' We have time and again seen
the convicts at work on the canal in
Columbia, sometimes as often as two
or three times a month. We know
what their general condition was then.
We never saw any of them anywhere
look like those did who passed through
Sumter yesterday"

THEIR PLAN TO FIGHT CLEVELAND.
Gov. Tillman Says the Democratic Party
Ought to be the Peoples Party.

CHARLESTON, S. c., May 29.-Gov.
Tillman, in an Interview to-day with
the editor of the State Alliance organ,
is reported as saying that he has op-
posed Mr.. Cleveland strongly because
of the ex-President's opposition to the
free coinage of silver and also because
his sympathy was with. Wall street
and its money. "a great danger to the
Democracy he said, "was that the
nominating Convention in 1892 might
name Mr.. Cleveland as its standard
bearer for the next campaign"
Gov. Tillman thinks that the farmers,
not only in this State but all over the
country, ought to go to work to see that
delegations are sent from each State
opposed to Mr.. Cleveland, or to any
man of his ideas on money. He be-
lieves the farmers can control the De-
mocratic party and thus press forward
their demends for reform.
AS to the Sub-Treasury bill, Gov.
Tillman says be is opposed to it per-
sonally, and will fight it on the stump
if need be. He does not think that
after it is presented to the people they
will support it. If majority of the
party in South Carolina still continue
to support it, he says he is Democrat
enough to fall in line with the MAORI
ty. He does not see the need for
third party, because the Democratic
party, properly controlled, is the party
of the people. TilIman's utteranee on
the subject ofan anti Cleveland delega-
ton may be taken as the keynote of
the preliminary campaign in this State
in 1892.

ALLIANCE AND NEW PARTY.
The Progressive Farmer" Looks on tho
Alliance Voting with the New Party
as Matter OF Course, Inasnuch as
Alliance Demands are Embodied
in Its Platform.
Especial to Charleston World. !


RALEIGH, n. c., June 1.-The State
Alliance organ, the Progressive Far
mer, owned by L. l.. Polk, will say
editorially in its issue of tomorrow:
"The question, what will the Alliance
do with the new party, is on the lips Of
tens of thousands of anxious people to-
day. Well, it ought not to take much
wisIom to answer that question. The
new party has adopted The Alliance
demands in its platform. Does any one
suppose Intelligent Alliancemen will
vote against the party that adopts
those demands, and in favor of party
that not only fails to adopt, but resists
those demands?
"Western Alliance States have alrea-
dy gone into the new party. Will not
the necessity for Alliance unity force
other Alliance States to go into the new
party also?
ave see no way to prevent the
new party from sweeping the country,
except the simple one of cheerfully
Correcting rrte;hg- the people every one of
their just demands: Alliancemen
are to be blamed for going INTO new
party, then hungry child csn be
blamed for going to some one who cair
and will furnish him food. Gentlemen
of the old parties, if the time comes
when your ranks shall be broken, your
leaders overthrown and your heritage
taken from you, do not blame the Alli-
ance for your ruin. The people, repre-
sented by the Farmers Alliance, have
petitioned and begged and pleaded and
prayed for relief all these years, and the
naughty minions of political power
have spurned both them and their
petitions and prayers. Do not blame
them for your overthrow, but blame
your own blind and miserable folly"

To the Editor Of the Daily News.
The reported interview between Pro-
fessors Evans. and McElroy regarding
that Haskell invitation as published in
The News of 26th inst, is very incor-
rect and does me great injustice. Be
lleving that The News will accord
assisasss, ! send my account as4sn the
episode ~ h1itscatlon and can sub
stantiate my version of the affair by
eye witnesses and unprejudiced per-
sons. ask the papers Of the State
that copied the reported interview
from the News to do me the justice to
publish my account Of the affair.
Professor Evans did demand retrac-
ton from me in Mr.. Roland,s
store at the time mentioned in the
News OF certain communication pub
lished in the Herald regarding the in
vitation of Col A. c. Haskell to Lau-
rens. He made his demand, and did
then and there refuse absolutely to re-
tract anything from his insolent and
threatening manner, stating to him
that I would die first, or words to that
effect. Professor Evans was armed
with stick and pistol and had only
a little pen knife. Professor Evans did
not raise his walking cane and sternly
command Professor McElroy to put
his knife back in his pocket and Pro-
fcssor McEIroy like coward did not
submissively obey.
Professor Evans did not offer TO buy
a pistol for Professor McElroy. He
was-aot at that time in so generous
mood.
I left Professor Evans and walked
over to Auditor Thompson's Office
where I hold my Office as supervisor Of
registration, as it would have been the
height Of folly for me to remain dis
putting with a man armed with deadly
weapons and surrounded by his friends.
Professor Evans soon came into Audi-
tor Thompsoa's Office and in a very
gentlemanly manner asked me to give
him "some expression" that I had in
tended no otense in connecting his
name with sHaskelite,n ,nthatI had done
him an injustice. Mr.. Thompson, SON
Of Auditor Thompson, heard the con-
versation. I told Professor Evans that
if had done him a,wrong, was per-
fectly willing, as gentleman, to right
NE wrong. I then, not under duress,
or threats, wrote the following card,
which was published in the Herald:
GAS far as my reference to Haskellite
in my article, as referring to Professor
Evans, say that I had not intended
to offend him individually, or as a
man."
This is the only retraction or expia-
nation have made.
Respectfully,
W. T. McELRoY.

the week, and Daniel Sullv appears
during the latter half in his new play
THE Millionaire" written by Leander
Richardson, which is described as origi-
nal and extremely interesting, without
a tlreSome line in it. The actual bnild
ing of railroad, with all the digging,
blasting. hammering and conseQ uent
noise and hustle attendant upon such
an undertaking is one of the great
scenes. Mr.. Sully acts the character
of James O'Brien, an honest ard-work-
ing lrishman, who, by dint OF good fort
une and stout heart, gets possession
of a million or so. He does not reach
this financial elysium without having to
OutWit cunning rogueS and overcome
financial obstacles. The story is in
brief that of an Irishman who is proud
to be an American, and who has clean,
healthy, simple sense of the herOism OF
labor and the honor of doing his duty.

WILBUR is COMING.
The Popular Opera Company

The Popular Opera Company
Booked for Twelve Weeks.
The coming of the Wilburs to the Ly.
ceum seems to be the most talked-of
subject in theatrical circles at present.
The engagement will be for twelve
weeks, and probably much longer, con-
tlnuing perhaps through the summer
months. The sale of seats will commence
a week from tomorrow for the perform
ances to be given the first two weeks.
The opening opera will be "Nanon,"
the former New York Casino success,
to be followed the second week by the
Grand Duchess" another Casino sue
cess. Matinees will be given on Tues
days, Thursdays and Saturdays. The
prices of admission to the performances
will range from Is to 50 cents, and over
1000 reserved seats will be placed on
sale at 25 cents each.
The company is a superior organiZa-
ton. having a good corps of soloists and
a fine chorus of well-concerted voices.
The orchestra is large enough to give
good, solid support to the voices, and is
still so we'll trained as to not be too
heavy for the solos. Miss Susie Kir-
win is the prima donna, and she is well
fitted for the leading parts. Her voice
is full and rich, and she has vivacity
and fun enough about her to make her
a great favorite. Nothing new or bet
ter can be said of the WilburS than has
already been said here before.
An extra act will be interpolated into
each performance, being the Amazon
march by twenty young ladies', who go
through all sorts of fancy evolutions to
the music of the orchestra.

evening to 624 Hennepin, as Miss judi
son will present the following platform
as basis of union:
eve, the undersigned residents of
Minneapolis, Mimi, do hereby associate
ourselves together under the name of

lists, we know that the spirit survives
the death of the physical body, and that
there is intelligent communication be-
tween the living and the so-called dead.
We claim the epithet progressive, be-
cause we know that progression is the
law of existence, both now and here
after. As Progressive Spiritualists, we
accept all true spiritual manifestations
as being direct proofs of the continuity
of life, and we desire, by works of hui
mainly, truth and love, to develop our
selves while on the earth plane so that
our advancement may b e more rapid
after we leave the physical body.'

While the patronage of the DAM Or
