thi' Al1SAcO OAi1Su h1o ot'S''SA ~
an exhortation to the members OF
the Alliance to keep up theil
organization at all hazards.
SENATOR JOHN GARY EVANS.
followed Comptroller Genera
Ellerbe. He said that nobody but
a blatant demagogue would try tt
raise the question of the lawyer
against the farmer. 1t was only
the utter desperation of defeated
candidate which would do this
Lawyers would be fools, as woulc
every other class Of people, teoppose
the farmers when they furnish the
means of. livelihood to all othe,
classes.
Mr.. Evans, of course, rushed tc
the defence of his boss and attack.
ed Mr. Ellerbe for his criticism Of
Governor Tillman Oh the Alliance
matter. He said that the Marion
resolutions were introduced as a
lick at Governor Tillman. Ellerbe
himself was opposed 20 the sub
treasury plan, and told me so in
Tillman's presence.
Ellerbe: "You are mistaken.
said I was opposed to the sub.
treasury bill"
Evans: well, boys, there is no
difference between the plan and
the bill" Cheers.
He said that Ellerbe ought to
be frank enough to tell the people
that be stands on the same plat
form with Governor iTillman.
When Ellerbe advises you to join
the Alliance be is not q member of
it himself. Why doesn't he join
it?
Evans also attacked Ellerbe
about criticising. the Governor for
ordering the reopenins Of dispen-:
saries. He said that ;he Governor
had not made mistke, and that
the board of control had nothing
to do with it. Tillnan was bold'
enough and brave nough to do
what he thought WIS right. Thes
1893 law is still a lw, and if Till-B
man did not enforc it be ought to-
be impeached. .[Ten he has been,
liable to inpeach hnent for three

complimented the Performers" of
Richland on the progress they were
making, and said when he was
elected Governor he would stand
by them. He had always been q
friend of Governor Tillman, and
would continue to be as long as he
is true to Reform" and Alliance
principles. He wanted it under
stood that he was not hero
worshipper. He was for measures
above men.
Governor Tillman had criticised
the resolutions of the Marion AL
lance. No man who was a sup
porter of the Alliance could take
offence at those resolutions. At
Winnsboro Governor Tillman had
tried 10 spank some of the Re-
formers. He (Ellerbe) was bad

this spirit has driven away the
people of the county and other
counties from Columbia. If Co.
lumbia kept up this spirit of an

would be that Columbia would die
out. He saw no reason in the world
to keep up this intense feeling and
thought it time to stop it.

The democratic state convention
renominated Geo. w. Peck for govern
or, Thos. Cunningham for secretary
of state, John Hummer for state treas
urer, and Jas. O'Connor for attorney
general. This action is supposed TO be
in recognition of their distinguished
service to the state in permitting
themselves TO be caught in the at
tempt TO cheat the people out of
one hundred thousand dollars in the
Roster" deal. The remainder of the
ticket consists of men new to the
people of the state. 1t is considered a
weak combination put up to be sacri-
feed. Gen. Bragg might have been
nominated for governor, but the COM
mander of the Iron Brigade thrust
the empty bauble from him. He did
not propose to be made the scapegoat
for the roster gang.
