1t will he seen that there axe three
meetings each week beginning on
Tuesday, except the week which in
clades the State campaign meeting at
Newbclry Oh August IS. That week
there are only two meetings. The
meetings were put together this way
at the suggestion Of Mr.. Sigh who ex-
poets to be candidate, for he said he
thought it would be better for the can
didat2s and give them more time at
home.
Mr.. Sigh then announced that Mr..
kibler was present and wished to make
a request of the committee in reference
to prohibition.
On lotion of Capt. Folk, Mr.. Kibler
was permitted to make his statement.
Mr.. kibier felt Obliged for the privi-
Iege, and simply desired to request in
behalf of the prohibitionists, that the
committee appoint one manager at
each box who favored prohibition.
They did not care whether he was for
Sheppard or Ti!lnlan. The State En-
ccutive Committee had recognized pro-
hihition and they felt encol r ,ged TO
make the request.
Mr.. Capers moved that the request
be granted.
Mr.. Sigh thought the committee
should first decide whether they would
agree to the contract entered into be-
tween Sheppard and Tillman on the
subject Of managers. And Mr.. Capers
withdrew his motion.
Mr.. Sigh said he didn't know
whether he was familiar with
the agreement or not and asked Mr..
Hunt to state the agreement, which lie
did.
Mr.. Folk moved that we a0opt the
or request of the candidates.
Mr., Caldwell: II would just say
these few words. Itseems to me such
fair proposition that the committee will
not refuse it, We arebrotrhes ini nter-
est, brothersi in blood and brothers in the
furture Of our country, and this is the
only thing that will prevent censure
hereafter. Every difficulty will be re-
Everything CONS before this
committee and if there is any irregu-
larity this committee can make the
proper corrections. 1t is sound polit-
ical wisdom to adopt this suggestion"
Mr.. Capers: "The question comes up,
is il necessary for us TO act on this now?
If we postpone this matter all the
county papers will have the agreement
this week, and all the members could
read and study over and think about
it."
Mr.. Sigh: II agree with Mr.. Capers.
It is net absolutely necessary to ap-
point managers at this meeting, and if
it is adopted whom will we appoint?
After the thing soes on awhile men
will be pronounced in their views and
we can better select managers.
Mr.. Sigh then moved to postpone
the matter to future meeting.
Mr.. Hunt: II haven't copy OF the
rules, but it is my understanding that
it is imperative that managers be ap-
pointed at this meeting. | feel very
much in favor of postponing, but there
is no way around it except to take r.
cess"
1t was found that the rules made it
to appoint managers at this
Mr.. l;unt: "Itis another thing whe-
ther we will adopt the request of Shep-
pard and Tillman. If we agree to-day
to adopt the suggestion we can act
more intelligently in the appointment
of managers, if we know Weare to have
two managers. I feel sure it is my
purpose to have honest men, and
move, so far as this county is concern
ed, that we adopt the suggestion Of
and Tillman."
Mr.. Capers: 81 think We had better
wait and confer. | read in The State
this morning-a paper l don't often
read-that it advises that they wait in
Richland in the matter of appoint
ments, and I think we had better wait
a little. Men ought to read the agr.e-
me ut and digest it,"
The Herald aid News, man here
offered to procure the agreement which
he did anG it was read from the Regis
ter. It is as follows:
AIKEN, s. c., July 6.-The next
primary will be as fair as both sides can
make it, as will be seen from the fol-
lowing agreement entered into by the
of the two factions:
We, the undersigned candidates for
Governor, hereby request the Demo-
cratic Executive Committee Of each
and every County in the State to SO
divide the Board of Managers (includ-
ing the clerks of each board( Of the
to be held on the 3Oth
day of August, 1892, as to give each
Of the factions of the Democratic party
in the State equal representation on
said board. And we further request
that each faction shall have the right
to recommend two men from each club
to the Democratic Executive Commit
tee Of each County; and that the same
be appointed upon the Board of Man.
ayers for the club for which they ere
recon- mended.
3. Z. TILLMAN.
}. &. SHEPPATD.
Mr.. Hunt: awe all know here to-day
whether this request is fair. We all
know whether or not We can endorse
it. Every man here knows in his heart
whether this thing is wrong or not.
We are all men here who have worked
together before, and will act together
when the heat and smoke of this cam
paign is over. Each faction here to-day
can act 'ogcther. 1t is no secret as to
which faction I belong, and that it is
in the minority in this committee. We
are ut the mercy Of the majority. I
believe there has always been absolute
fairness in the primaries in this county.
In 1883 the executive committee per-
mitted the two candidates for the Sen
ate to suggest Il manager each for each
