The Pickens sentinel. [volume] (Pickens, S.C.) 1871-1903, 1892-07-07

Inese men are Republicans in senti-
ment, tor they believe in the sacred
right of a few to govern. They are
Haskellltes in disguise, for they believe
In rule or ruin. The convention that
put them out was largely composed of
Haskellltes and was gotten up by Con-
Zales In a great part. They dare not
deny it, for l can prove 1t. Sheppard

boy.
The Governor then repeated Shep-
pard's comparison of Tillmans admin
lstration to those of Moses, Scott and
Chamberlain.
Sheppard: did not say it.
Tillman: 1t was published in your
organ at Greenville.
Sheppard: l did not say it in the
way you take 1t.
Tillman: When he go compared our
administration he insulted us and four
fifths of The white people Of the State,
who elected us. Orr, the big man who
spoke twice and then went to his cot
ton factory
Voice: Why did you run from You
man?
Tillman: It's rather pitiful to accuse
me Of running from this pitiful little
fellow from Barnwell when l faced
Earle two years ago through a hell
which 9oumans as man would not
have faced.
Tillman then repeated Orr's utter
ances about his being unfit to unlatch
Judge Wallace's shoe strings. These
words were fine efforts for peace and
unity.

teen Convention. said; Jervey was the
only representative of the South Caro-.
lima Democracy at Chicago.
Voice: Were you for Cleveland?
Tlilman: No, sir. fought him to
the last ditch, because instructed by
convention representing four-fifths of
the white voters of the State.
After Cleveland was nominated /
surrendered to him. l am unwilling to
play Haskell in national politics. Dib-
BILE, the Jesuitical hypocrite who en-
gineers their canvass, the day after
Clevelands nomination tried to hook
Sheppard and Orr to Cleveland's coat
tails. They try to pose as the only
Democrats, and force US into a third
party. 1t would be fatal blunder to
do so. It's always a bad policy to do
what your enemies want. We will
take our Cleveland crow with better
grace than they Will take their Tillman
crow in August.
am willing to agree to the PROPOSE
tion to have two representatives of
each side at the polls at the primary. [
will beat Sheppard so bad that he will
go home and never want to run again.
We will do this, even though they
march the factory operatives up in a
row and make them vote together for
Sheppard.
Sheppard says L attacked the past
administrations. Did ever say a word
about any Executive officer?
Sheppard: No: but what did you
mean by addition, division and sub
Tillman: L meant that men were
bought to vote for the phosphate bill
which gave companies monopoly of
ChoosaW River.
The Adjutant General paid back
money which ought never to have been
taken. At Charleston the Treasurer's
bondsmen are being sued for default
of $4,000; at Sumter, Union and other
Counties deficiencies were found
amounting in all to about $4,000. Did
this not show "lncipient rottenness?"
Tillman then announced that he was
going. One or two said stay. Tillman
said he had heard all Youmans had to
say two or three times before. This
was an attempt to break him down.
Youmans could rest off. The dignity
Of his position would not allow him to
wrangle with Youmans.
He would let loose something he had
held back since the manner in which
he expended the contingent fund had
been attacked. He only got $500 a year
contingent fund, while Richardson
while in Office had had 700. The re-
ceipt for every cent he had spent was
in the Comptroller Generals Office.
He had had prepared statement of
how Richardson had expended that
money for which there were no vouch-
ers. There were charges for wood and
coal. lie might as we'll have bought
his meat with the contingent fund. If
others were hurt by this boomerang let
the blame rest on them,
Tillman asked the crowd whether
they thought he ought to stay and hear
\ oumans. A few voted yes, but big
majority voted no.
Tillman went and got dinner and re-
turned and heard Youman's speech.
COL. YOUMANS SPEAKS.
Col. Youmans said that Tillman had
spoken in contemptuous manner of
MIN aC conway. n mhn nau CrleQ CnaC
once before IN political discussion,
and the speaker had made him sorry
for it.
Col. Youmans turned to his notes,
and was about to open his batteries, but
reconsidering said: "Well, I'll not say
what l could. It's very bitter"
lCries Of "Tell 1t on him."
NO" said Col. Yonmans, al will not
soak him this time, but warn him If
he proyokes me again I'll not hesitate"
In regard to the Governor saying he
could have no alteration, Col. You
mans said the Governor had already
heard him disclaim any intention Of
personally insulting him. He, how
ever, did not recognize that the Gov
ernOr had any right to shelter himself
under the robe of his office. He read
from Governor Tillman's writings
where he said as Governor he had no
political enemies to punish, and said
that the Democrats did not want for
Governor u man who would have to GER
tity that those who had opposed him
would not be punished. He referred to
the fact that Col. Gary had never en-
dorSed the Infamous charges Tillman
