practical subSidizing of the Register.
He did net say ''subsidize," but it's all
the same
DR.. Pope made characteristic ad-
dress, ''strong'' (very strong and more
or less to the point. But he was in q
measure 'sat upon" and left Columbia
with his nose badly out of joint, and
would not return until the next meet
ing of the Senate.
DR.. Pope was apparently very mad,
but would not talk. He has, it is re-
ported, lost his temper on one or two
occasions, so the people of State need
not be alarmed.
TO TILLMANIZE THE ENTIRE STATE.
Other discussions followed DR. Pope's
speech: Some members advocated the
planting of an organ in every county
in the shape of a weekly paper, in ad-
di,ion to the organ at headquarters in
Columbia.
1t was argued that all the public
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES and other
wise-could be given these papers.
Then, being made the official paper Of
each county, the public would be
obliged to subscribe in order. to be in
formed as to taxes, land sales, foreclo-
onroc ond tho like
Another membec wanted to know if
the assemblage had ever heard Of Jose
phus Woodruff, and the Republican
printing company of immortal mem
ory. The Republican printing COM
pany had an arrangement something
on that order, but more comprehensive
as to perquisites. That would never
do.
Then the Cotton Plant came up
again. Why had not that paper been
better care of by those who professed
Alliance doctrines
A BUSINESS COMMITTEE.
Finally it was decided to appoint
committee Of three to take the matter
under advisement to consider the ad-
visibility of establishing paper or
papers, aud the ways and means, and
report to meeting to be called by the
chairman.
The committe consists of B. R. Till
man, chairman Col. r. C. Watts and
Mr.. Stark.
Then the meeting adjourned.
OTHER MATTERS DISCUSSED.
After the adjournment the assem-
blage became an impromptu advisory
committee to the Governor.
Coosaw anG the railroads were dis
cussed principally.
On the railroad assessment the Gov
ernor was urged to "stand to his
guns" There had been too much
vacillating on several matters lately,
and it had got to stop.
Exactly what that refers to is not
known.
There was a L oticeable absence ofsub-
treasury talk-the-calm probably that
precedes the storm-for storm is COM
ing on that question unless Tillman
succeeds in killing the Cotton Plant
soon, which isn't likely.
The newspaper organ question was
dicussed some more in which the move
ment was again characterized as op-
position to the Cotton Plant and the
Alliance, and then the conferees sep
arated.
WHAT TIE GOVERNOR SAYS ABOUT IT.
THE State, June 9th.
The full expose of the Charleston
World of The recent secret meeting in
this city of the administration mag
mates giving the letter of the Governor
has been mentioned. Yesterday, the
Governor having returned to the city
was asked what he had TO say about it.
II have only one comment to make, "
said he: "It has only enough truth in
it to make it the biggest lie of the
season." He acknowledged writing
the letter published, but is at a COM
plete loss 20 understand how it got out.
He could see no way for it to have
reached the press fairly. AS to the
Worlds account, he said: at is chock
full of Inaccuracies and misstatements." "
So saith the Governor.
