AN ATTEMPT AT HOWLING DOWN
rrrIJ,N.N AND THE DISPENSARIES.

TILLMAN AND THE DISPENSAR1ES.
AIKEN, s. c., July 1S.-"I am going
to open the dispensaries on the lst OF
August, l think" said Governor Till
uan IN his campaign speech here to-
day.
This announcement and an attempt
TO howl down General Butler and the
Governors vitriolic stack on Cleve-
land and the Democracy constitute
about all of the interest developed in
the meeting. There were 1000 persons
pre- ent and they were disposed to he
orderly, with few exceptions.
General Butler stated that be was
glad personalities had been dropped,
aud be hoped Tillman would not throw
any rocks at him any more, as be
(Butler) was bound TO hit him about
thirty.nine times in return as sure as
fate.
"Tillman! Tillman! Tillman" rang
out from many throats, led by few
obstreperous fellows, and for a while
nothing else could be heard.
"Oh, understand that, but you are
not going to howl me down." cried
General Butler.
At this the shouts were redouoled,
but they caught a tartar. General
Butler caught sight of a bowler with a
committee badge on and ne pitched
into him. "You have no right" he
shouted, "to stand there with com.
mittee badge and howl me down, and
you shall not do it."
NOT TO BE HowLED DOWN.
Chairman CASTOR started to take
hold of the crowd, but General Butler
waved him back and said he was going
to speak if ne had to stay there till
night. The General looked at one or
two fellows who were still Justify shout
ing for Tillman and told them If there
was any person who had anything
personal against him he would give
him all the fight be wanted after the
meeting. :,
II am not going to be bully-ragged. "
be declared. II see through the whole
business. I saw it this morning ana
saw these men were put there for the
purpose. But you can just make up
your minds that am going to speak. "
There was fire in the Generals eye,
and the howlers quailed before the old
warrior, and his determined talk soon
quelled them.
A Voice-Sbake hands with me and
say that Wall street OWNS the United
States.
General Butler-I won't do anything
of the kind, because it is not true.
1Applaue.l 1t does not own me. There
is not enough money in the United
States to buy me, with all your rings ana
clioues, and whoever says the Senators
were bought by Wall street commits a
deliberate slander upon them, no
matter who be is"
TILLMAN is VIOLENT.
In bis speech Governor Tillman said
that Cleveland had commended the
fornation of national Democratic
leagues in the South, as it would help
make the people redeem their pledges.
my God," the Governor continued,
why does a man have 80 much cheek!
What has become Of the DEMOCRATIC
platform on which he was nominated?
AS soon as be got in Office be carried
out the trade he made with those
boudholders, scoundrels and thieves OF
Wall street. He called Congress to-
gether and used his patronage to seduce
and debaunch and buy enough Con-
gressmen and Senators to demonetize
silver by the repeal of tile purchasing
clause of the Sherman act.
INABAD WAY.
who can trust such thieves and
sconndrels as they are? Who will care
to 20 in another Democratic conven'
ton with them? He and his minority
of Democratic traitors are cheek by
jowl with Sherman, the arch devil OF
the Republican party, in this conspiracy
against the people, and are united tc
sGueeze and rob them. These people
who quit the Democratic party IN the
West quit too soon. I had a mighty
strong leaning that way himself. But
Cleveland has now shown. that he re-
CARDS US as bis bond slaves, to be
robbed in the interest Of the people in
that part of the United States where
be lives. I say to you when Butler
say the Democratic party has not hao
fair chapce, he knows 1t has, ano
that it has failed to reeeem its pledges
Now we are in the woods and the
Democratic party is broken to pieces
They are trying to pull the old hulk
together, but l tell you that the elec
ton next November will show that the
Republicans and Populists will gair
eve. ything ard the Democratic party
will lose everything"
