land has many friends. Our people are not
going wild after an Alliance or silver man."
Anti Tillmah man at Troy, southern part.

failure to carry out pledges" voting
strength 200; "any good man would beat
Tillman so to rs vOtes;" twenty-five who
were for him have declared against him;
five who were against him are for him; He
has not gained any strength with tn the anus

matter of fact, however, the Alliance has
about gone to pieces at this place"

the people and hence the election of Tillman

more for Tilman's election than his, Till
man, blowing did. That paper hope will
kill Cleveland"
| J.P. McNair, anti, in north eastern part
There is noticeable non-expression; To-
cal club 70 strong; has heard no man ex-
press himself; Il can note that the feeling
which characterized the last campaign has
relaxed; 1t seems to be remarkably indiffer-
ence, when we consider this is big politi-
cal year. However this can soon wear off
as things get warmer"
Anti in southern section, Silverton town.

Change against the Governor; c,mses,
free pass, failure to sign the tax extension,
selling cows to the asylum, buying jogging
boards and other things; club rs strong;
Tillman would get one-sixth Of the votes
under question s.; knows OF several who
were for him who have declared against
him; not one who was against him is for
him. Il am an anti and not inside OF the
dominant party, but outside there is a gen
eral desire to elect some one who will and
can restore peace and good feeling, repair
| the credit of the State and give us a good
Lclean and creditable administration Of the
people for the people and by the people,
and not the rule Of a tyrant."

against him; none who were against him
are for him. If we run any one he must

Thinks there is change against the Gov
ernOr; cause, "his failure to take care OF the

phate trouble" etc.; voting strength Of club
| 100; believes most any good man could beat
Tillman there now; several who were for
Tillman have declared against him; none
changed the other way. Politics not much

ton question and what to get at for liv-
ing"
Barnwcll County.
Alfred Aldrich, anti, Barnwell Court
House
There is change against Tillman; cause,
Ibis inability to fulfill his promises" the
tax extension and free pass matters; "try-
ing to make the Legislature the scapegoat
for his short comings; voting strength 800;
under question 6, 1T depends largely on
who the other man may be and how the
campaign may be conducted" has kept no
account, but many formerly. for Illlman
none changed the other way; Governor
Tillman is blamed by the Confederate SOL
der element of the party for the defeat for
the Senate of General Hampton. 1t is near
ly the unanimous belief that he had done
enough for the State in war and in peace to
entitle him to remain in this position as
long as he could perform its duties
Anti at Allendale, southern part
There is decided change against Till
man; many Of his followers have been dis,
appointed by his promises OF reform and
lower taxation;" voting strength 100; more
than probable that Tillman would not be
the choice under question s; have heard a
good many who were for him express them
selves against him; can't say positively
how many who were against him are for
him; many of his followers expressed
themselves very feelingly at the defeat OF
Hampton and that had they foreseen the
results they would not have voted for him.
Recently his action in the tax matter has
aroused much Indignation and disgust.
Had an election been held on the 18th of De-
cember, 81, he could not have commanded
a corporals guard"

Tilman is stronger than two years ago,
the change is in his favor; cause, reduction
of taxes; voting strength 100; majority
would be for Iillman against anybody"

movement as strong or stronger than be-
fore"
