TILLMAN TALKS.
An Interview Giving the Governors
Views on State Politics.

Views on State Politics.
Columbia, S. c., Aug. 29.-Gov. Tillman
was interviewed to-day and spoke as fol-
lows regarding the portentous political
situation:
Until somebody explains why the con-
servatives of Columbia and Charleston
did not turn out and vote it is not neces-
sary Tor US to say anything about the
light reform vote The con
servatives have everything their
own way in these two cities, and
the reformers have everything their
own way in the country, and they didn't
exert themselves In most of the cOun-
ties there was no opposition ticket to
spur the reformers to action. The reit-
GRAFTON of the cry of ring is not going to
scare anybody nor muster up any votes
Il give notice now that we are not
gong to have any Alabama business in
South Carolina. If these people want to
warm this black snake into life and join
forces with it, under the plea of democ-
racy, we are ready to meet them and give
them the worst drubbing they ever had
in their lives.
The defeated politicians who cannot
get majority of the white vote, and
want to get elected by Joining forces with
the negro, may as well understand this
"ull never believe until l see it that
any considerable number of the conserva-
tives will make this desperate effort TO
regain political power at such terrible
risk, for every sensible man knows that
when the negro is brought in as the bal
ance of power between the contending
white factions, the state will sink into a
deeper gulf of misery and misgovernment
than existed from '68 to '16, or from that
which we emerged in 1876
"All the offices in the world are not
worth such price
My democracy means white supre-
macy. l and those who have backed me
will not Join forces with the negro Let
those who do justify it to the people,"

A Man Of the People.

Milwaukee, Journal
There always comes time when
the true man of the people who is ma
ligned and lampooned by unscrupu-
lous politicians Of the opposite party
comes before the people in such clear
light as to show for what he really is,
and then he stands far above the reach
of the shafts of malignancy, In this
high position now stands Senator
William f. Villas after having been the
target of political foes for so long.
The shafts of venom will still CON
tinue to be discharged, of course, but
they have lost their power to injure. II
they ever possessed it, which is
perhaps doubtful.
Ever since the commencement OF

1t Is now virtually midwinter. This
issue of the Tribune appears on the
shortest day of the year, Dec. 81.
Tomorrow the sun turns to come
back, and experience teaches us that
for a time, at least, the old adge is
true, that "as the days grow longer,
the cold becomes stronger" From
this time TIL the middle of March IL
the winter of our discomfort from
high winds, heavy SHOWS and dis
agreeable weather Of all kinds. And
while contemplating these facts let us
rememember that there are mt our
very doors, those who have not the
wherewith to keep them warm; there
are little children without proper
clothing, homes without fuel to keep
comfortable. And not only remember
such II sorrowful state of affairs, but
endeayOr so far rs we are able to
alleviate these hardships. He that
giveth to the poor lendeth to the
Lord" And let our gifts be of a
practical nature; talk, good will, and
prayers for the poor are all right in
their way but such breezy things do
not keep out the cold nor feed the
hungry. It's coal, flannel, -four,
and potatoes that the consistent and
practical Christian will offer to "lend."

judgments. They made an especia
assault upon Senator Villas in this
respect and kept It up loud and long.
It was one of the chief arguments of
the last campaign that Senator Villas
would want practically all of the
judgments for the professional SER
vices which he and his associates had
rendered to the state in the treasury
cases. These organs are COMPOUNDED
now by the fact that Senator Villas has
written letter to Gov. Peck in which
he donates his services In that most
important matter to the state.

There is a move on foot here to or

establishing system of electric lights
in this city. 1t is estimated that a
capital of $4,000 will secure the plant
and furnish the city supply of bril-
liant lights for its present needs, and
the plant could easily be enlarged as
necessity might require. The origina-
tors of the enterprise appear to be in
