Here again there was a great
hurrah for each of the candidates

but I do not know what manipula-
tions he will be able to make be-
fore rings and conventions.
Gen. Butler insisted that all he
knew Of the existence of the rings
came from the published state
ments Of Tillman's friend, Senator
Irby. The
D1sPENsARY AS POLITICAL MACHINE
Gen. Butler went on to charge
that in his opinion the dispensary
law was rushed through to use it
as political machine when the
campaign opened. Governor Till
man had said be would MT have
the Office in such way.
Voice: "He will play hell re-
signing"
But when the decision of the
Court came overthrowing the law,
Governor Tillman was paralyzed,
and 80 were his force of corstables
and dispensers, and the whole ma
chine that was being built up for
his campaign. The Legislature,
Gen. Butler argued gave Governor
Tillman $4,000 with which to
open thefdispensary, and yet, 1t is
alleged, he bought more than twice
that much liquor with which tu
start the dispensary. This was
clearly against one of the most sa-
cred rights in the Constitution for
the protection of the people, that
no official could use money except
where specifically appropriated. 1t
was great outrage for him to have
contracted any additional debt to
that authorized in the appropria-
ton, no matter what the amount
was. The wrong and violation of
the public trust were equally great
if the amount was $40 as if it was
$1,OO0,o0e. 1t is wrong for any
State official to be allowed to break
loose from the constitutional moor

thought it would be best for the
Governor not to tackle anyone be-
hind his back, and who is away.
Someone asked: Tell us what
you are going to do in the Senator"
Butler: I don't know if I could
satisfy you if I brought Oh the
millennium.
Then Gen Butler went on to de-
fend his course in the Senate and
show specifically what he had done
and remarked that the man did not
live who could charge him with a
violation Of duty.
Gen. Butler went on to say that
he had ploughed twenty times as
much as Governor Tillman and that
he noticed about the only time
Governor Tlllman spoke about be-
ing a farmer was when he wanted
the votes of farmers.

GOVERNOR TILLMAN HAD THE IN
DECENCY
to lug Col. McBee's wife's name
into his speech. He would no more
dare to fling an insult in McBee's
face on terms of equality than he
would to tear that tree up by the
roots. Governor Tillman had
made a remark that Mrs. McBee
was reported to have talked of
quitting her husband because
Governor Tillman had slept i'll the
berth) Governor Tillman admitted
yesterday that some of his friends
went to Rock Hill on free + a:ses.
Voices: Given by your friends
Gen. Butler then carefully took
out his pocket pass No l IN favor
of B. r. Tillman and famllp until
December 31,1S91, and signed by
| Col A. A. Andrews.
"Wbere did you get it, General?'
Gen Butler, in reply: [ don't
know if it's any of your business.
1 have it.
To Governor Tillman: 1 want
to know if you deny it?
Governor Tillman: No indeed,
sir, and the man who gave it to
you passed as your friend.
Great hurrahs and conside rable
commotion.
I think he had better stop on
this matter
LIKE A THIEF WITH STOLEN GOODS.
When the Governor was caught
with this pass he gave it up and
threw himsef behind his wife for
protection. Then Gen Butler began
untieing a package of his rocks,
but before beginning be remarked
that he bad not heard a breath of
suspicion against Mr.. Ellerbe. Mr..
Tindal, Gen Farley or any of the
State departments. Now Governor

bought votes with patronage. Here

Mr.. Hunter spoke up:"I defy

Here was another outburst Of
applause.

and Governor Tillman is talking

CHESTER, June 2O.-There was
no mistakipg the tone of to-day's
campaign meeting at Chester. 1t
was personal; it was aggressive;
it was daring; it was fierce; twas
red hot; it set the pace for posi-
bly, very ugly campaign; it show
ed that Gen. Butler is deeply in
earnest; that he expects to say
just what he pleases about polltl-
clans and issues, and that he does
not intend to brook what be con-
ceives an insult; that is plain.
Gov. Tillman had the reply at
Yorkville, and when he spoke of
what he called the Coxey army as
he did something sharp was ex-
pected in reply. The wonder is
that the rock-throwing did not
start at the very first meeting.
Most seemed to expect it.
THE MEETING WAS OPENED
by Chairman Will A. Barber, who
called upon the Rev. Mr.. Child for
prayer. He then asked for good
order. Little dfd he think of the
storm that was going to break loose
in tho comparatively small crowd.
He introduced Gov. Tillman as the
first speaker, and, strange as it
would seem, there was not futter
of applause when the Governor
began to speak. This is explained
by the instructions for quiet to be
maintained. The applause came
later, and at times came in tor
rents. Gov. Tillman did not to-
day tread to any extent on the
powder magazines. He made very
much of general talk. 1t was
much more connected than yester-
days and touched upon some of
the issues of the day. Yet be could
not help touching on what he has
styled the Coxey army in Carolina
AS 1t was very much on the line of
his previous addresses a brief
synopsis only is given:
He said he had heard and said
good deal of rings, but this was
too much of a ring all round the
stand. These discussions, he went
on to say, were sort of school,
and if the public speakers do right
they can lend you good deal of
light. Now this is my third year
as Governor. This is my last year.
Voice: "Thank God for that"
You don't thank Him any more
than I do.
Voices: "Hurrah for Tillman !!
You are the mani" Counter hur-
rahs.
Tillman then went on to say:
The first time ran the people de-
manded it, the next time l ran to
show your faith in me, for I had
been charged with everything ex-
cept stealing, and now I want to
go to the Senate.
Voices: "You will get there"
The newspapers then came in for
a share of his usual kicks. They
followed, he said, behind the met
ropolitan papers and did the bid
ding of their bosses. He insisted
they did not represent public senti-
ment. incidentally he said the
farmers raised too much cotton and
now they have to go to raising other
products. Then he returned to the
theme of the condition of the
farmers. The farmers may not oe
legislated into prosperity, but they
can be legislated into the poor
house. They want help. We have
things reasonably straight in this
State, and il only behooves the
farmers to keep things straight by
watching. He attributed the
trouble of the farmers to national

he stays there six years if any of
their money will stick to his pock-
