| who intended the demonstration COM
| pliment, but were too drunk to know when
| to quit and that Tillman seized upon the
| incident to use as political capital in the
! country hereafter. The first cheer which
greeted the governor when he arose was
from his adherents, but it is certain that
| slight kissing followed it. Then the how Is
| became general and it is probable that the
lung power OF both sides was eXerted to
! its utmost for five minutes Butler UNI
| doubleday made friends by the determined
way In which he reduced the turmoil to
| quiet.
E1llerbe showed up again in great shape
as rebel. No man could spank him with
impunity, he said, referring to Tiliman' s
remark Of yesterday and he minated very
plainly that the governor should mind his
Cwn business.
TilIman Sat Down.
When the governor arose he was greeted
with prolonged cheers, followed by two or
three Kisses. When he commenced to
speak Kisses continued and at the same
moment there We're more cheers. Tiliman
minated that there was a big reception
committee and nobody to keep order. This
Chairman Ray Indignantly resented. The
cheers became steady howl and the gov
ernor declared unless he was listened to
he would sit down. The uproar went on.
Il don't care three straws to speak," said
Governor Tilman crabbedly, and then sa,
down.
Senator Butler came forward and the
bowling was redoubled. Above the din the
senator commanded quiet The chairman
again tried to quell the disturbance. Then
General Butler became aroused. He ue-
nounced the hoWlerS as acting like damn
ed savages." ITS an outrage" he ex-
claimed, for you men to act in this way.
l give you notice now that unless you hear
apparently were cowed by the senator
stern rebuke and Slowly the tumult sub
sided
Governor Tillman continued his speech
in an invective against Cleveland and
Wall street. Richland, he said, was one
of the five counties which had cut them
selves off from the remainder of the state,
and # her people insisted upon going to
the devil he could not help it.
Comptroller ElIerbe Ihen began to beard
the lion in his den in this manner:
Il am no hero Worshiper. At Wins
boro Governor Tillman said he was going
to give me a little spanking because |
had happened to differ with him. | want
to say to the governor and to the people,
that the man who undertakes to spank me
will get the worst spanking he ever had.

Governor Tillman or any man Governor

him run his campaign and we will run ours
When l want advisory attorney, / will
notify him. / am free. white and twenty
one, and whenever Johnny Evans gets too
big for his breeches. L am going to spank
him.
EIIerbe Says 1t Was "a BIunder.
Ellerbe declared that Governor TilIman
had made q great bunder in issuing the
proclamation to open the dispensaries. The
sentiment of the people was against open
ing them. Il am a member OF the state
board of control, and l have never been
consulted on this matter. If | had been, |
would have told the governor that it was
it."
Then came John Gary Evans. He
thought the dispensary law was the best
ever devised and If Ellerbe was allowed
to tinker with it, he would ruin it. It's
good for your bellies" said he. They will
last ten years longer than if you had bar
looms" "On the LIST of August" said he,
you will have the dspensary despite the
action of the beard of control to the con-
trary.''

Orangeburg S. c., July 26.-(SpeciaL)-
Tbie was an interesting day with the cam
,,aiprers. It was made notable by sparrlnS
t,tv,aao F,llerbe and Governor human
ana tho latter's remarks concerning the
Gisnensarv and the determination OF the
state alliance to apply the yardstlck TO
senatorial and Legislative candidates. Inc
Governor declared that the alliance could
r,,n q hundred men, but he would beat the
whole business and, judging from the croWo
+ba+ faced him today, he IS about IlSht'
rhere were 1S00 people present, ana they
obaered him on everything he saiu, ana
1,hen he took a hand primary on whether
+bev would vote for him against any cahui-
data the alliance might bring out, ne got
all the votes and the alliance none. Eller-
no one of the gubernatOrial candidates.
buc<ed the governor and declared he ought
70 he impeached, but it looked very much
as if Elerbe was butting stone wall.
The crowd was impatient to hear Illlman
and Evans, and did not take much stock
in anybody else.
Jumped EIIcrbe.
The governor pitched into Ellerbe for
his statement at the Columbia meeting
Yesterday that the governor had not con-
sulfed him concerning the re-opening of
