THE PASSING OF TILLMAN.
Especial! to News and Courier.
COLUMBIA, June 2D.-There is some
cheering news to-day from the field of
battle in regard tu the Conservative
cause. 1t seems that there has been
almost complete change OF feeling in
all parts of the State.
To-day Stale Chairman Dibhle, Of
the Democratic executive committee,
arrived III the city and says that he is
on his way to conference of the Con-
| Servat!veS of several counties, which Is
to be held in the southeastern portion
of the State to-day The conference is
but one of series of such conferences
air, ady held in various sections of tue
State.
Mr.. Dbble is known to be one Of the
qUietest and most successful workers
in the State, and when lie makes up
his mind to talk he generally knows
what he says and is able to prove it,
| He spent to-day in the Conservative
headquarters in this city, and he and
Secretary J. q. Marshall went over very
carefully the reports of the progress Of
the campaign in all portions Of the
State. The work WAS arduous, but
| well worth the lime consumed. When
questioned later by the correspondent
of the News and Courier he talked
very freely. He said that there had
been, as shown by The reports, ''suh-
stantial gains over the State" He
stated that every series Of these reports
invariably improve on the estimates
previously made by himself and the
co'lIilllllee.
in regard to the result of the cam
paign meetings so far held, he said:
$50 far as We are concerned we are
ahundantly satisfied with the results
Of those meetings. We are getting re-
ports from the field behind each meet
ing, and the seed sown at every point
is taking root and developing with great
rapidity. We are now much more
hopeful than ever before. We certain
~ and surely expect to carry the State
without any trouble. This is not all
idle boast, but is 4 statement based on
| the facts before US. The State is now
thoroughly organized with the eXcep-
tion of only one or two counties. You
can say that don't thiuk that there
is the shadow of doubt that the ma
jority Of the white people Of this State
are unaterably opposed to the re-elec-
ton of B. R. Tillman as Governor Of
South Carolina. The only problem
that now confronts US is to get the peo-
pie out to the polls at the August pri-
maries."
Mr.. Dihble promises to make public
some highly interesting facts in the
near future.
