They Handle the Sub-treasury and Third
Party Leaders without Gloves.
CHARLESTON. $. c., Sept. 1.-The
Tillmans, governor ana congressman,
are waging an unrelentless but appar-
emily hopeless war against the sub
treasury scheme in this state. They
are backed by Senator NJ. c. Butler.
All three are now on the stump attend
| ing the alliance picnics which are now
going on through the state. At Edge
field, on Saturday, Congressman Till
man, who is also fighting against
Cleveland's nomination, delivered one
OF his characteristic speeches. Among
other things he said:
1.-The third party which the Kansas
iayhawkers sent down TO Georgia to
preach, and which they asked US to
join, and with which headlights OF the
sub-treasury scheme are hobnobbing all
over the south, with their limita-
tions and reservations and qualitica-
ton and conditions. when you ask them
about it in South Carolina-those Kan
sas jayhawkers, Sockless Jerry and Mr..
PETER and Willis, and 1gnatius Don
nelly, Delameter and two or three 9TH
ers-what did they soy? Anything
about the tariff? No, but I'll tell you
what they did say. More pensions.
In old times when one people conquered
another they put them to the sword.
When they became more civilized they
took the conquered into slavery, but
the Yankee in his day and generation
is wiser than them all. He prefers to
let his prisoners live, make them work
and take away the fruits OF their labor.
and that is what the north to-day is do
ing with the south. And it is what
they will continue to do. l
am sorry TO have to tell you 30,
but l want to impress it upon
YOU, to burn it into your memories,
that no matter how plentiful money is,
or may ever be, you cannot escape that
annual drain Of the pensions you have
endured, and will continue to endure.
| am we'll acquainted with Polk. |
know Macune well, ard / know Terrell
we'll. have met them and sought in
terviews with them. They are sorry
set. Polk, believe, is good man, but
the demon OF ambition is whispering in
his ear that he might be the presiden-
tial candidate OF the third party. Hence
he hes gone over to the sub-treasury
scheme, and he is hob-nobbing with
the third party. He is as potter's clay
in the hands Of Machiavelli Macune.
He failed at everything he undertook
until he got paper, which another
man made q success. VINO
| is Macune? An ex-reprblican.
He is republican to-day. Born in Wis
consin, he evidently floated into Texas,
where he found people half crazy; got
into the alliance exchange at Dallas,
which had about $4,000, which soon
went. He went, too. He didn't run
away: he only went to the national
capital, where there was bigger field.
He was also appointed chairman OF the
national alliance executive committee,
now that he was the boss dog, making
and executing laws He issued orders
and cracked his whip. In addition to
his other offices he got himself ap-
pointed editor Of the Economist and got
the alliance to subscribe to 1000 copies
OF his worthless paper"
Congressman Tillman, in closing his
address. painted Macune in somber
colors, attributing all the vices OF
Satan with the cunning OF the serpent.
