James L. Orr had never ridden on
a free pass or if he was not presi-
dent Of a factory that is working
poor men and women thirteen
hours a day with only forty-fve
minutes for dinner Colonel Orr,
interrupting: "That lis not
true."
Tillman: Well I am glad, but
let me say that we have no
antagonism to capital nor do we
want to oppress it. 1t snot our
purpose to have one law for a
corporation and another for the
people. We want equal rights
for al and special privileges for
none.
He charged the railroads with
going into the Federal courts with
the object of embarrassing the
finances Of his administration.
OF what howl they raised;when it
was said that County Treasurers
had been instructed to refuse the
tender of payment. 1t was taken
up and repeated and Colonel Orr
stated it..
Col. Orr-"I did not make that
statement"
Tillman-"Truth can never
overtake a lie."
Col. Orwell, it has over
taken one now.
After some further parley Gov
ernor Tillman took up Orr's
speeches at Laurens and elsewhere
and read his statements concerning
him, the Governor, on his refusal
to extend the time for the pay
ment of taxes, etc. Referring to
Orr's statement that the people
were in as bad a condition now as
they were in '76, he said: @Great
God, has it come to this, that the
masses of honest yeomanry shall
have their present misfortunes
com pared to those in Radical days
under Chamberlain !"
Concluding this branch Of the
discussion he said: II do say
that when this man said that I
am unfit to unlatch the shoes of
Judge Wallace he went beyond
the limit of human endurance.
He used the language of John the
Baptist about the Saviour. Now
1 have it from respectable au-
thority that Colonel Orr voted for
Radical Willard against MCGOWAN.
I have it also that all old negro
named Joseph Johnson was
appointed Jury Commissioner
when Hampton was Governor
at the instance, I suppose, of
Senator Cothran, and James L.
Orr helped to put that Infamous
Radical scoundrel into Office over
q gallant Confederate soldier
named Williams.
Referring to a charge that his
administration had injured the
credit of the State, he said: 1
have been informed that Pied
mont stock has gone from 140 to
110 since James L. Orr became
president. Now, if, in one short
year, he wrecked that property
and carried stock from 140 to 10,
in Gods name, where would he
carry the State bonds if he were
elected Governor? Laughter
and applause. I am told, too,
that he has reduced wages there
10 per cent.
About this time the cheering
for Tillman became very loud and
continued. The crowd surged
upon the stand, taking his hand,
congratulating him on his speech
and giving him their pledges for
continued support. Further speech
making was impossible. The
crowd lifted him bodily from the
stage and conducted him to his
carriage, in which be was driven
on rapidly up the street with Shep-
pard. The crowd dispersed and
ropidly followed the procession to
the hotel, and 80 ended Tillman's
Austerlitz in the Piedmont.

That Ballot LdIU.

Editor Herald Il notice that sever
al errors occurred in my brief comments
on the Australian ballot law, published
in the HERALD of the 18th inst.
Namely, that double grand attach
ment of marking the ballOt" Should read
double geared attachment &c. And
again, the construction of the boards
of election, differing on this question,
appears reasonable and'advisable' under
the law" The word advisable" should
read admissible" So, practically the
law is simply unity where two or
more candidates are running for the
same office" the word unity" should
read ''nullity.'
This leads me to add that since writ
ing my first article proceedings for a
contest have commenced in this town
ship for the Office of justice of the peace,
growing out of this identical question
of how ballot marked in certain way
should be counted. THIS is by no means
a local question, for the same difficulty
will arise in many portions of the state.
And to determine this question speed
lily some short cut to the state courts
ought to be spied out. Boards of super
visors, no more tnan judges of election,
can settle the problem in controversy
satisfactorily. r BACON.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. 2l.-After
spending all of Thursday night in a
bitter fight between the democratic and
populist factions the National Farm
ers' Alliance repudiated the former
Friday morning. McCune, leader of
the democratic wing, who was the only
candidate for the presidencv against
Loucks, withdrew from th>s contest
and the alliance simultaneously. He
bitterly denounced the Loucks follow
ing and claimed that there was nothing
left for the non-partisan element to
do but leave or consent to be the tail
of the third party kite. The
following officers were elected: H.
d. Loucks, North Dakota, presi-
dent; Marion Butler, North Carolina,
vice president; Ben Terrell, Texas. ma

Nashville Toiler, secretary, and the

The friends of DIR. H. McCune are
much dissatisfied, claiming that they
want to keep the alliance out Of pol
itics. To that end a protest was fled
against the action of the populist
against DR.. McCune, which was almost
universally signed by the southern
members, who declare that if politics
is made a part of the alliance creed
they will draw out of the national or
panization,

of Ohio, accused of a contemplated re-
ductiOn of wages, deny the charge, but
Mr. Gilbert says that ''if said foreign
goods are allowed in this country at less

would have to either quit or the work

bert stated that several contracts and
orders for steel had been cOuntermand-
ed since the election. In view of what
the Democrats had claimed about the
new American tin-plate business, the
men interested do not feel like putting
the money into it that would be re-
quired. His company had been furn-
ishing about 100 tons of steel month
for this industry, and the orders had
been cOuLtermanded." This will be

MILD BUT PLEASANT.

This is the general verdict with
all who use the Laxative Gum
Drops. 1t is we'll known that
many diseases, especially. fevers
and nervous troubles, begin with
indigestion. When the stomache
and bowels are clogged with mat
erial that ought to pass off, the alb
sorbents make an effort to remove
it. The result is that much of it
is taken into the blood and the
whole source of the life current
is thus poisoned. The Laxative
Gum Drops restore the proper ac-
ton to the digestive organs and
thus enable the system to throw
off this material. When this is
done the system soon RECEIVERS
its normal tone. The chief bene-
fit of these gum drops is that they
can be taken without any feeling of
medicine for there is no bad taste
about them, nor do they cause grip
ing. In fact, many people are re-
stored to health by their means
without ever knowing that they
have taken medicine at all. Get
them of any druggist. The small
boxes are ten cents, the large ones
twenty Ave cents.

What Did IT,!

This is a.questiOn now being asked by
everybody. There is a natural desire
for change in all republics, but this is
probably the first time that nation has
deliberately resolved on a business
change and ordered the adoption of an
entirely different financial plan at the
time of its greatest prosperity. In
Athens AriStides, at the ,ostracism, was
invited by voter who did not know
him to write the name Aristides upon
the oyster ell which was used as bal
lot. AristideS wrote his own name and
then inquired why the voter desired this
citizen banished. The reply was II am
tired of hearing him called the just" No
better reason can be given for the defeat
of President Harrison.
1t is easy to make anyone believe that
he is not getting his full share of the
profits of any business, and the democ
racy convinced the laboring men that
they were not receiving a fair division.
The next step was to make them think
that they could take away protection
and cripple the managers of the bust
ness in which they were employed with
out injuring themselves. They have
been induced to believe that the articles
made by their labor can be greatly cheap
ened without affecting their own wages,
and that they can import large quanti-
ties Ofmanufacturedg goods from Europe
without reducing the market for like
products at home. The vote of the great
manufacturing centerS shows that these
fallacleS have found believers among
these wOrkmen, while the vote among
the steady thinkin farmers shows that
they. were more thoughtful of the inter
eStS of the employed workmen than the
latter were themselves. Chicago, New
\ ork, Milwaukee, Indianapolis, and such
cities generally have cast their votes
against protection. Henry George and
other socialistic dreamers threw the
whole weight of the anarchist vote in
the cities in the scale for the democracy,
to play a strong second to the "solid
south" which can be wreSted from the
iron grip of the democratic party by
nothing short of social revolution. BY
means of the latter the democracy has
only to concentrate its energies upon a
few pivotal states to carry the country
No doubt President Harrison was
weakened by responsibility for the pub
lie patronage, just as Mr.. Cleveland was
in 1888 and as democracy will be again
in 1896.
The old Roman had it written on his
epitaph HE never despaired of the Re,
public" The history of republicanism
has been the history of the nation for
thirtytwO years and during all these
years when the republican party has
prOspered the people have had cause to
rejoice. The same people who in good
times have deliberately demanded a
change will in the bad times which must
follow a change of methods demand
still another change.
l. By all means let the democracy test
their theories by passing the laws which
they have promised to the people and
the nation.

day afternoon. In the document the
president will naturally make few rec
concentrations for legislation, but his
resume of the condition of public busi-
ness will be such as To show that the
administration, in giving up power, has
no regrets.
The Finances.
The president will make it clear that
the legislation which the people seem
to want should come from the party
that will soon be in complete power.
In discussing the financial conditions
he will indirectly answer some of the
partisan criticisms that are heard about
the condition of the treasury, and is
likely to point out wherein the expeudi-
lures of the government have grown,
and to show what part of the burden
of the increase is due, in his estima-
ton, to the democratic legislation. He
may recommend the suspension of
further payment on public works until
the public finances justify it. At the
same time he will probably show how
the expenditures are in excess of the
revenues, because of the removal of
the sugar tax. and leave it to the peo-
pie to judge whether they want that
tax removed.
