TO refuse to see Gods hand coming
to us through secondary agents,
nlalign though they be, is not to see
him ut all. If God cannot make the
wrath and malice of men and devils to
praise him, and be our help
ilcavenward, then his power is truly
limited and his throne unsettled.

a TIMELY WARNING.

He would warn his brethren that n division
in the Democracy Mt this Junction meant
continuance Of the Republicans in power and
the possible enactment of the force bill. He
would further say that u division between
the Farmers Movement and the Alliance
meant Il return to power of the Ring, which
they, with such hard fight. overthrew last
fall. lApplause and cheersl Governor TIL
man closed by making an appeal for unity,
harmony and charity, and the State.

THE DANGER OF DIVISION.

Governor Tillman showed the sub.treasury
bill could not be forced on the National DEM
ocralic Convent tion and that the issues now
could only have the result Of dividing the
National Democratic party, as 1t did IN loGD
and give the Republicans o continued lease
OF power. ask you, lie said, do you not real
lze that there are anxious politicians oil over
the United States, and right here, too, In
South Carolina, who are tervently praying
that we divide here to-day? DO you not
know that the Haskell party watches our
proceedings and Is hoping for and expecting
q division, and SO are the Rublicans and all
other opponents of the State Democracy? He
would remind the Alliance that Senator
PETER, the exponent Of the Kansas Alliance,
had said that OF course, he would support the
Alliance but he would vote with the Repub.
licans on other interests. and that Powderly,
the chief Of the other wing OF the industrial
army, the knights OF Labor, coupled his sup
port of the Alliance demands with the condi-
lion that political equality should be accord
ed the negro. l maintain, he concluded IN
vigorous style md earnest manner, that d.
vision In South Carolina means The negro.
THE GoyERSoR's IDEAS on TIE CURRENCY.
Governor Tlllman gave as his remedy for
flexible currency the repeal Of the ~ per cent.
tax on Slate banks and the establishment OF
banks 10 issnc money based on land ana
erops lust as our credit is now based ON loans
nud mortgages. He was in favor OF the lar
mers establishing their own bnnks and print
inr their own money instead of paying such
high rates Of interest. He held that we mi ght
have sub.treasury under State control, but
II sub. treasury under national control meant
the pcrpeLuation In power OF the party Dy
which II was established.

meeting was for single purpose TO discuss

pression) the sub-tl casury bill In It's essential
features and It's principles, and he knew that
the discussion on the other Side would take
no wider latitude. Going Into the argument
he said that the sub.treusury was one Of the
demands OF the Alliance and us such 1t should
be respected. He felt and knew that neither
the Alliance nor any other popular organic
tIon could exist II 1t did not ask something
that would benefit the whole people, He held

e. H Aullin The State

SrARTANBURG, S. c., July 23-The interest
in the State Alliance keeps up. There has
been great deal Of discussion among the
members and their friends outside of the In
ner circle OF the secret sessions on the address
OF the president and the speech of Col. Polk
yesterday aftern oon and the sub-treasury, Is.
peclnlly the proposed debate between Cover
nor rillman and Col. Terrell. as to the an.
nnal message OF President Stokes. there is diff.
ference of opinion even among Alliancemen
themselves as to It's m merits. Some pronounce
itan able and exhaustive paper, willie others
sny It Is too long and verbose, and discusses
matters not appropriate to and outside the le-
gitlmate province of such paper.
The address of Col. Polk yesterday after
noon In its entirety IL generally com mended
hy}Alllancemen aud by many outside the Al
linnce.
- This afternoon a rather spirited discussion
took place Oh the streets between Citizen Josh
Ash OF fAnderSon-a strong Tillmnn anti
sui,-treusury man-and Col. Ellison S. Keitt,
of Enorec tatiOD, an equally enthusiastic
advocate OF the sub.treasury scheme. con-
siderable crow.l WIS attracted aud hoth de-
batanis presume, thought they had the best
OF the argument.
The debate proposed between Gov, Tillman
and Col. Terrell Is attracting much interest,"
bntthe Alliance sustains the doctrine Of the
p 'eSiueut and Insists that such discussion
,,etween Alliancemen must be before the AL
llalic .only.
OPPOSITION TO TILLMAN.
I find amnn liancemen here that there Is
considerable opposition To Governor TilIman
rhesmore enthusiastic Alliancemen are only
In favor of such men as stand erect, with both
feet squarey on the demands of the Ocalu
platform.
One A!lInnceman said to me to-day that he
WAS just as enthusiastic to defeat Gov. Till
man now as he was 10 elect him last year
another prominent member who was present
endorsed those sentiments, and said his
whole community did the same. When ques.
toned us to the cause the answer was the nc.
ceptance BY Gov. Tillman Of free pass and
his opposition to the subtreasury scheme.
: The city Of Spartanburg is not only full OF
Alliancemen but there are also hest of
newspaper men here-sonle who belong 10 the
Alliance. and advocate the demands of the
ocaIa platform, and some who do not. One of
them who recently became initiated into the
mysteries Of the order In his native county
and who is also the representative OF an In
tiuentIal Alliance paper, was not given en-.
trance to the proceedings 1t is So Id for two
reasons he was excluded, In the fl st place,
he could not give the password, and Ia the
second. even if he had been up ON the pass
word, 1t had been decided that he was ineiigi-
BILE to mem bership and that the sub 4 Alliance
admitting him should not have done 80.
