LIVELY MEETING AT UNION.
The Most Pugnacious Day Of the
South Carolina Campaign,

COLUMBIA, s. C.-The most excitipa
meeting OF the State campaign occurred
Thursday at Union There came dan.
Serously near being personal difficulty
IN the stand, between Governor
Tillman and Col. Orr, the Conservative
candidate for Lieutenant Governor, which
would have resulted in a riot.
In his speech, Governor Tillman asked
Colonel Orr for his authority for saving
that preacher had said that he CTillman)
Haunted his profanity in public. Col.
Orr replied that he did net divulge con.
versations and added that T.ilman knew
The statement was true as he could ascer.
tain by appealing to the preachers in gen.
cral
The Governor said that sometimes an
oath slipped out, but that it had done so
only on one occasion during the CAM
paign. He appealed to the ladies pres
cnt to signify if in their opinion they
considered him a blackguard, but
there was no response from them,
The Governor then said that Orr or any
other min who said he haunted his pro.
fnnity in public lied.
Col. Orr advanced to the Governor and
atching him by the arm wheeled him
around and asked him if he was trying
to raise personal difficulty. Tillman
said he was not and Orr shook his finger
in his face and told him that he could
not iutimat, that he Orr lied without
having it thrown in his (Tillman's) teeth
He told him further that Tillman had
boosted of being almighty God gentle.

The Governor said SO he had, and Orr
replied that He did not do himself cred
it when He made you. He again caught
hold of the Governor and asked him il
he meant to intimate that he was a liar.
The Governor said that il Orr did not
originate the statement did not apply to
him.
BY this time the crowd had become a
raging mob. People climbed up on the
stand. Men pulled off their coats, swore
like tro opers and ga hered around the
two men. 1t looked for all the world as
if blood was to be shed Col. Orr stood
to the rack and told Tillman he had re-
peatedly used curse words on the stand.
The Governor said he had not done it
but once, and he would leave it to ex-
Governor Sheppard who, however, had
nothing to say. The excitement by this
time was intense. Col. Orr again caught
hold of Tillman, who had turned his
head toward the crowd in font, and told
him if he wanted fight he could get it.
The Governor said he did not and Col
Orr went back to his seat, remarking that
Tillman must let him alo e. The Gov.

Swallow and Assimilate Them
Quickly.

The race between Hogg and Clark for
the Democratic nomipatio for Governor
of Texas is very hot. Gov. Hogg
is little ahead but he is not likely to
get the necessary two thirds of the 945
delegates. Possibly there may be dead
lock, to be broken only by the nomina-
tio1 of third man.
This years Presidential canvass is, in
point Of activity, much behind the record
of previous yeaIs, on the Democratic as
well as on the Republican side. The
leaders of both parties are slow in begin
ming the real work Of the campaign. The
same condition Of things is reported il
other States.
1t is against the traditions of the Re
| publican party to renominate Vice Pres.
idents. 'The old ticket" is cry which
has no att action for the Republicans.
Lincoln and Hamlin was a winning ticket
in 1850 but when President Lincoln was
renominated in 1864, Hamlir was left
off. Grant and Colfax was the winning
ticket IN 1868, but when President Grant
was renominated four Yeas later, Col
fax was left off of the ticket. Harrison
and Morton was winning ticket il 1888,
but after President Harrison was reuom-
mated in Minneapolis, Morton was left
off. The Republicans found Harrison to
be strong with the interest for which Mr.
Morton stood four years ago, and hence the
denomination Of the latter was not thought
essential. The only Democrat in recent
years to be renomiuated for Vice. Presi-
dent was Thomas a. Hendricks, who ran
in 1875 and again in 1884. ->,-,,,,,-

Growing Cotton in Connecticut.

PUTNAM, CoNN.-David johnson, o
spruce old colored man of Pomfret street,
who was OH big Southern plantation
"befo' de wah," is teaching his neigh
bors that cotton may be grown in Con-
necticut as successfully as "way down
South in Dixie" David is gardener for
Benjamin Grosvenor and has little farm
of his own at Pomfret Street. He had
been trying vainly for several years to
make people believe his cotton theory.
and this year has yer ID it by growing
cotton ON his farm. His crop is small
one, but 1t looks splendid. johnson,
who tended thousands of acres of cotton
in the South, says that his Pomfret Street
plants ore quite as luxuriant and promis.
ing as any that are raised in Dixie. He
adds that. while the Northern season is o
short one, the soil here is richer and the
plants thrive better than In the South.
He also grows nne sweet potatoes.
