amt built that way. l claim to rep

you would today have the third party
in South Carolina and your Alliance
would be beaten and dishesrtened as
it is in the other Southern Statea.
The Governor warned his audience
that if sub-treasury Alliance candi-
dates for the Legislature are put in the
Geld the Haskellites and the Conserva-
tlves will vote for them simply because
they hate him (Tillman) and declared
that if they wanted him to 60 0the

| ing for this ultra sub-treasury plan.
The amalgamstiOn of the Alliance anu
the Haskellltes would be like that of
the prohibitionists and tue Whlskey
people, children of light and darkness
uniting to serve the devil.
The Governor declared that a half
million dollars will be spent by Wall
street and the whiskey people to pre-
vent him going to the Senate. If g
chance is offered.
Touching on reopening of the Dispen.
sary, the Governor said that he had
been raped on head by two OF
the candidates for Governor be
cause of his action. He was tender
with his boys and would reprimand
them as a kind and considerate father.
He said: "Ellerbe misconceiYes the en-
tire scope and purpose of his powers
as member of the Board Of Control
if he thinks that have to consult him
concerning the opening of the Dispen-
fsaries. His duty is to help control
the Dispensary while it is running. He
has nothing to do with enforcing the
law. That is my duty as Governor.
Now E!lerbe says that L ought to wait
| until the Supreme Court passes upon
the Act of 1893 Well, l would like to
know if l did not revive it and put it to
work again when would the Supreme
Court get hold of it, and how?"
Ellerbe: you could do just as you
did in the bond case"
Tillman: "The court is not in session
and will not meet until November"
E!lerbe: "Dont you think, Governor,
that they would meet if you asked
them?"
"Tillman: Il don't know"
The Governor said that Ellerbe said
that he (Elerbe) had not been consulted
about the reopening.
Ellerbe Gnterrupting, with a smile
on his face): "No, Il didn't. Tell the
truth. l just wanted to put the re-
sponsibility where it belonged sod [
said that you did not call the Board to-
getheT."
Governor: "Thank God, you have a
Governor who is willing to assume the
the whole responsibility. could have
gotten out of this business If | had
wanted to play the politician. but We
owe debt for the whiskeY we have on
hand of eighty thousand, because We
bought it on credit, and We want to pay
1t. I am not going to sit still while
blind tigers are running everywhere
and let this condition of affairs go on
There was so much applause at these
last remarks that the Governor said he
had goou mine to open the Dispen-
saries to-day. Tremendous applause.)
The Governor ssld that if everybody
else had the right to sell whiskey he
thought the Governor also had the
right. The Supreme Court, he said,
marched up Main street, in Columbia,
every day right past a dozen saloons,
and did not issue injunctlons against
them, "but, boys, l am going to- make
these fellows ship their red eye out of
the State in a hurry" (Vociferous ap-
plause.).
The Register, said the Governor
holds up its hands and sees spooks
and dsvils and dead men and smells
blood. 1t says that it was unWlse IN
me opening the Dispensary at this time
l believe Ellerbe put 'em up to It,
with a laugh.
Ellerbe: "Fell us, Governor, why you
closed the Dispensary.
The Governor said that he had done
lit because If he had kept open an in
junction would have been gotten out
and the Dispensary closed. The Gov
ecnor told what be had done to keep
the court from getting at the law anc
how ne had done it.
El!erbe: Didn't Buchanan advise
you the same as did not to reopen the
Dispensary
Tlllman: NO, but he is a little weak
keened Just ike you are. He Wantec
to wait until after the primaries be
cause he was afraid the reopenine
would hurt me, but it won't hurt me
an doing my duty. The people VII
not GO back on me- They never have
and they never will" Great cheering.
By request the Governor took hanC
primary on the Dispensary and tht
crowd was with him UNANIMOUSLY. By
request he also took one as between
Butler and himself He got eli ant
Butler got no votes.
When the Governor got ready to stol
speaking the crowd begged him to go
on and promised to spend the nigh
with him if necessary.
