he could see there was not single
marshal present to get rid of the
drunken disturbers who were out
in full force at the meeting.
After this Governor Tillman had
plain sailing, and in his speech of
twenty minutes lie confined him
self entirely to national politics,
and did not once touch upon the
dispensary or State issues,
Gen. Butler made one of the
most striking and dignifed speech
es that has beer made during the
campaign, and although many of
the sentiments in it have been
heretofore announced, it seemed to
be a combination of all of the
good things that this distinguish
ed orator has said during this cam
paign.
Perhaps the most significant
thing of the day was the announce
ment by Candidate Sampson Pope
of his intention to 60 directly into
the general primary and pay no at
tention whatever to the factional
convention. 1t was altogether un-
expected on his part and is most
significant symptom of the dissat-
isfaction and discord that exists
among the "Reformers." It shows
that deliberate and concerted &C.
ton is to be made against what is
now recognized to be the work of a
combination in the "Reform"
ranks. 1t is liable to grow daily
in its strength. DR.. Pope is known
and recognized as one of the orig
inal Performers" and on that ac-
count is his position all the more
significant. His attitude against

TILLMAN ON THE ISSUES.

When Governor Tillman began
his regular speech after all the furor
was over he said that he was GER
tainly going to the Senate. He
said be could not talk much on
national politics, as his time was
very short. He said that there were
bright hepes when Cleveland went
into the White House, but that all
the people got was come apples and
rottenness. He said that Cleveland,
instead of fighting for tariff reform,
as he had promised, had called
Congress together to carry out his
corrupt contract with Wall street.
He had as his trusted lieutenant
John Sherman, who first attacked
silver and ruined the financial sys-
tenn.
He went into discussion of the
silver problem and hurriedly gave
his idea of the meaning of free
silver and the demonetization of
that coin, and of the effects of
plenty of currency and how it
would help the farmer and agri-
cultural classes. The debts of
every man in the audience, he ar
gued, had been doubled by the false
money system. He went on to
show how fat money was as good
for the American people as any
other. He said that he was op-
posed to national banks because he
believed them unjust, as they were
burning the peoples candle at both
ends.
He argued that the South was a
land of pauperism on account Of
the false financial system in vogue.
The Federal Supreme Court, he
said, had time and again decided
that greenbacks we're constitutional
legal tender, and there was no use
to talk about that.
Someone asked him about Judge
Gary, and he replied that he was a
candidate for the Senate and would
discuss national issues.
Then another asked him what he
would do when he went to the
Senate.
I'm going to do just as 1 did
while Governor-run over such
fellows as you," he replied. This
provoked a great deal of applause.
Governor Tillmaa went on to ex-
plain that he wanted some of the
money sent to- South Carolina and
not all of it held in Wall street.
He said that the panic last year
was the result of combination
and conspiracy. He went on to
explain how in his opinion the
conspiracy" had done its work.
It was thievery and rascality, he
insisted, and this seemed to please
his friends.
Some young fellow on the stand
who was cursing most outrageously
was caught ard taken off by force,
and there was no further disturb.
ance for a while at least.
Governor Tillman wanted to say
to the people of Columbia that he
had lived here for four years at
tending to his duties. He had
treated the people kindly and
courteously, and for some reason
the people here hated him worse
than the devil. Yet be said he had
no malice towards anyone and had
no hard feeling against the people
! of Columbia. The people could

excelled itself in it's campaign
meeting to-day. Much more in
terest than was expected was shown.
The candidates and the people
both spread themselves. The num-
Der of candidates who wanted to
speak was greater than at any pre-
vious meeting, and the attendance
very much larger than was expect
ed. Everything passed off quietly,
with the supposed attempt to cry
down Governor Tillman. The au-
dience of about thousand seemed
to be in very good spirits, which at
times was etfervescent. 1t was

really not a bad crowd in the sense
of being ugly and mean, but it
seemed inclined te ttaease ttasRse and ag-
grayssttG the speakers.
The audience was perhaps more
evenly divided than most of the
others have been, and on that ac-
count the hurrahing was more gen.
eral. Both sides seemed to want
to show that they were in the plu-
rality, and whenever one side
would begin to hurrah the other
would attempt to assert its strength.
I have no idea that there was de-
liberate attempt to how. down Coy
ernor Tillmap, and it was only
through the force of circumstances
and the curious combinations OF
incidents that he could have en-
tertained such an idea. ~At one
time it did look as if the meeting
would have to be adjourned on ac-
count of the inability of Governor
Tillman to secure an audience, and
the unmistakable announcement
of Gen. Butler that he did not in
tend to speak unless Governor Till
man had the same opportunity.
The trouble had small begin
ming; most Likely the jeers from
one or two of the drunken men of
the audience started it, and then
it resolved itself into vocal test
between the friends of Governor
Tillman and Gen. Butler. Strange
as it might seem even the peace
maker on such all occasion had his
intentions mistaken, for when
Gen. Butler tried to quiet his
friends 'Governer Tillman's ad-
mirers got it into their heads that
their hero had been made to retire
and that Butler was to speak.
They swore and argued that Butler
should not speak unless Tillman
did so, and all that time Gen. But
Ter was trying his very best to quiet
the crowd and have Governor Till
man given respectful audience.
And, by the way, he was not at all
averse to talking plainly to the
hurrahers, whether they were his
political friends or not. But for
tunately it all ended in peace, and
both of the Senatorial candidates
had the opportunity of making
legitimate speeches.
When Governor Tillman was an
nounced to speak it seemed as if
this was the signal for an outburst
of applause. Finally, just as un-
tremendously as the hurrahing
began, it stopped. Chairman Ray
said that he desired that everyone
have a fair hearing, and that he
had no interest in this contest and
that anyone that said he did not
try to keep order was mistaken,
and that if Governor Tillman were
not given an opportunity of speak
ing that the meeting would have to
be adjourned, as he did not intend
allowing anyone else speaking if
Governor Tillman could not do so.
Governor Tillman explained that
what he meant was that ther, was

CHAPTER XIII.
FoTLED.

Nothing was further from Mr.. Paul
Hayters thoughts than an idea Of collu-
sion between Lady Arlington and any
member of her late husbands family
all he suspected being conspiracy OF
the Horners to annoy him in revenge
for the wrong he had done the woman's
son.
s'Horners or hornets" he unused,
grimly, as he rode hurriedly to the
inn, '.may sting, but they are easily

His astonishment may then be inn
agincd when he rode into the passage
of the Arundel Arms, Justify calling
for John Horner, to encounter William
Bladon, his ancient enemy. older than
when he had last seen him, but with q
bearing insolent and undismayed as ever.
He did not design to betray the recog-
milton.
s'Where is John Horner, fellow2 Send
him to me at once,' he demanded, as
without ceremony he strobe into the
inn parlor.
''Adr. Horner is engaged, sir; I will
wait upon you; what did you please to
want?"
"Where is the woman Horner?-
fetch her at least" was the peremptory
request.
s'She be too busy to attend you, sir. !
reckon you'll have to put up with my
rough services" !"
Pail Hayter bit his lip and stared in
hopeless indignation at his tormentor.
But the more angry he became, the
cooler was his manner.

asked.
ssShe be, sir"
s.I wish to see her."

respect that was simply maddening.

William Bladon. Tell her that Mr..
Hayter requests her immediate presence
in this room.
.sCert'nly, sir. cert'nly. I'll see ii her
leddyship will receive you"
He bowed low and left the room.
Hayter quite understood the insolence
of the mans excessive courtesy. but the
moment was too grave to resent the
superciliousness of meniaL He would
settle accounts with Bladon, when Lady
Arlington was restored TO his guardian
ship.

Mrs. Horner, of the Arlington Arms,
for one. She jumped out and began
talking with my lady"
ssAnd what were you doing mean
while?"
.'Clapped fat on my back by an old
chap, as seemed to have the strength OF

"And then?"
''My lady got into the carriage, and
they set off towards the village as hard
as they could pelt."
Saddle my black marc Immediately
and bring her round to the front door. !"
He was not alarmed, only very angry.
He saw in this simply an attempt of a
vulgar, revengeful woman, like this
innkeeper's wife, to abduct her lady
ship from his custody, and he know that
his position in the county and his in-
fuence over Lady Arlington would
enable him to frustrate her schemes;
besides was he not armed with GER

Lady Arlington in o chamber of the
village inn, flung on her knees before a

her own proud beauty before her soul
had been stepped in selfshness. How
different had been his feelings could
