The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1894-06-27

l
now, Governor Tiiiman, thar, so far as
Mrs. McBee's name is concerned, you
have got to Keep 1t out of this cam
paisr. Yes, | say you have got to
keep it out" And Capt McBee seemed
to have added to the strength Of bis re-
mark by the tone ne used.
Governor Cil!man wanted to say
something further about the matter,
but Capt. McBee said he wanted no ex-
plantations on the stand. Governor
| Tillmarl then said: "r have something
more to say about you" Capt. McBec
sat down and said: That's all right.
don't care what you say about me-,
but don't you dare to say anything
about her." Here there were lot Of
hurrahs for McBee and also for Cover
nor Tillman. Then Governor Tillman
turned around and said that Gen. But
Ter had used his wife's name, out If
Capt. McBee considered he had used
| his wife's name in an uuwarranted way
| he would apologize. Gen. Butler i'm
mediately called out: 81 apologize for
that" About this time there seemed TO
be another rush for the stand; there
seemed to be another row imminent.
But fortunately nothing came of this.
Gen. Butler said: 1--WE nave settled
that and apologiZed, so go on"
TILLMAN's FREE PASS.
Then Governor TiIlman directed
himself to Capt. McBee and said that
| if Bunch" McBee, as uperintendent
of the railroad was responsible for this
band of Coxeyites being carried to
Rock Hill, it was an Interference with
the rights Of the people by corpora
tions. 1t is false, he said, that the pass
shown you yesterday is the original
issued by Bunch" McBee.
Capt McBee said that he would bet
| five thousand dollars that 1t was.
Tillman: It is not, for saw it in my
drawer last year. ....
Capt. McBee: Well I'll break you on
that bet, for I can prove it by your
own correspondence. That one in your
dawcr was duplicate. Then Ghere
was another outburst of applause and a
long one.
Governor Tillmsn did not seem to be
in the humor for betting, so he went
on with what he considered his debate.
He said that Capt. BcBee and Gen.
Butler were kirsmen and were as thick
as thieves, and he did not blame them,
and until he denies that he had any
thing to do with taking these fellows
to Rock Hill I'll stick it to him. The
pass that be showed was duplicate
that V. E. McBee wrote and not the
original.
Then Governor Tillman took up the
charge of the shortage of the dispensary
| accounts made atChester, and said that
if Gen. Butler had only looked at the
other side Of the page ne would have
found that the $4,000 represented the
cash on hand in the treasury, and that
it was an omission of the printer; that
| it was not in the table read by Gen.
Butler, and yet am to be accused al
most of this shortage. Do you want
to see the figures, to Gen. Butler. ~.-.
Gen. Butler: All right, 90 ahead.
Governor Tillman: I hope you see
that it's not rock, but a lump Of cot
ton that he has thrown. Great ap-
plause and hurrahs. Governor Till
| man went to say that he bad nothing
to do with making up the reports; that
was Traxler's work. Then he took up
the the matter Of the use of more than
$50, 900 for the operation of the dispen-
sary, aud said that although he was no
professional lawyer ne had pretty good
luck. He then read from the statutes
the provisions Of Section IS which
told how profits and revenue
should be deposited and drawn. Do
you deny that this gives me authority,
asked Governor Tillman.
Butler: I'll answer you tomorrow;
have not considered that fully.
| Then there was another bit Of 1892
they used to call pandemonium.
| Gen. Butler has made use of some
more foul language, Tiilman went on.
He has initiated his friend Haskell,
who, at the Columbia meeting, said
something about my war record. It's
the hurt dog that barks. When the
war broke out I was 13 years old, and
when the war closed l bad lost my eye
from sickness and was an invalid. That
was not kind or generous of you, and [
say shame upon you, brave as you are,
for the insinuation that stayed out of
the war because I was coward.
Then they had it about the Ham,
burg riots and Gen. Butler said that be
did not remember seeing Tillman there.
Didn't we ride down the road together,
asked Governor Tillman, and was [
not at the Ned Tennent riot?
AFRAID OF BEING KILLED AT OAR
LINGToS.
Then be took up the intimation cf
Gen. Butler that Tillman ought to have
gone to Darlington with the troops.
That was all they were praying for, be
said, so they could have killed me.
Davis and Lincoln did not go the trout.
They remained at home to dircct the
movements of their armies. Then he
went on in passionate way to say: He
knows that the Tillmans are not COW
ards. He knows that none of them
have ever been, and be knows that
| three of them were killed on the fields
of Mexico, and three Others for their
country. Great God, that man from
| Edgefeld should undertake to talk
about my being coward. he said with
all his might, and it may be imagined
how this thrilled his friends.
TILLMAN vILLIFlES THE COURTS.
He defendc his expenditure of mo-
ney for lawyers and held that the total
expenditures was only $1,000, while
Col. Butler bad paid Smythe and
others S50,0G0 il the Coosaw case. All
other administrations had employed
additional counsel. He suggested that
the crowd might vote for Gen. Butler
as Attorney General, although M1.
Buchanan could buy and sell him as 4
lawyer. He took occasion to review
bis trials in the railroad tax cases, and
said that the judge who granted the iD-
| iunction was owned by rich corpora
tions and that his habeas corpus case
was dismissed because the Supreme
Court is owned by corporations too.
Every Judge, he went on to say, Su-
preme, Circuit and District, is appoint
ed by Wall street influence. They never
put a man there who is not willing 10
stretch the Constitution as far as pos
sible in their interests. He said that
| the Agricultural Hall would never be
given up under judgment. The liti-
CATION would first be kept up for hun
dred years. He asked if Gen: Butler
