ray made telling speeches. Then and there
the meeting should have been ADJOURNED, the
desire on the part of the Tillmanites to the
contrary Notwithstanding. They should not
have been permitted TO fling fire brand into
our otherwise orderly and quiet meeting.

the Tillman bpsSes had given the candidates
orders not TO make an appearance al the
meeting on the 18th, under penalty OF being
dropped by the party. Was such bossism ever
dreamed of in Sonth Carolina politics? What
effect Col. Orr's speech could have had on inc
coat-tail s~ingers we are unable 10 see. All
they want is office. But we do say that can.
