 Official Dignities
WHILE IN A PULLMAN CAR
And Use Language Best Suited to Men of the Lowest
 Degree.

siderable excite temeut and some of the crowd became very boisterous and broke down the fence around the speaker's stand. But Ter, however, was cool, calm aud collected. He scored the rufiians who tried to prevent him from speaking, and made long and eloquent speech. The cause of the assault on Butler was the caustc showing up of 1illmans mismanagement of the dispen- sary.
 When the senatorial candidates left the station they were both in a bad humor. General Butler dined at the railway station house ana Governor Tillman went to Judge Townsend's. General Butler announced that he intended to see Governor Tillman about the matter. They did not meet again until after the train for Spartanburg had started. Governor Tillman had gone into the Pullman and was sitting with Mr.Stau- yarne Wilson. Gen. Butler occupied seat in.the first class coach, and soon after the train started began looking for Governor Tillman.- The newspaper men had an idea of what WAS up and were all close behind him. After them came General Richbourg, MT. Ellerbee, Col. John Gary Watts, MT. YelldelI, Cal Caughman and General Buffers brother. That was the first con- tingent.
 After going through the regular train the party went in the Pullman. There on the front seat sat Governor 1illmau and MT. Wilson in conversation. General But Ter addressed Governor 1illman and asked him whether he did not know the article about the dispeusary had been prematurely published in the News and Courier, through accident. Governor Tillman remained seated and replied that he "understood' from MT. Kohn, correspondent for the News and Courier, something about the matter. General Butler insisted if he did not know it was an accident. Governor Tillman replied that had he been in Gen. eral Rutler's place he would have made personal explanation as he came up on the train with him from Columbia. He had no right, he said, to look to Mir. KohH for any explanation. General Butler lusis ted and called for more specific statement. They split words for minute
 General Butler called on the correspond - ent to explain what he told Governor Till man about the matter. The reporter said that Governor Tillman had ruug him up on the telephone and asked him what the dis pensary publication meant, as it was not delivered. He ex explained that copies had been given out and mailed and that he had teegraphed the News and Courier that the matter should not be published, as it was pD delivered at Laurens. This seemed to
 ve things as uncertain as ever with Gen-
 II Butler and Governor Tillman. Gov or Tilman held that the matter should hA been explained to him by General Butkr and that the News and Courier was no N\ld of his.
 Afte Running and having the flood broke T0ose when General Butler said: "All that has nothing to do with 1t, and want to say that you perpetrated dellber- ate fraud today. l have come to tell yon that these matters must be settled per- sonally, and I'll meet you anywhere.'
 Governor Tilman-I did not know if you were responsible or not.
 General Butler-You. knew it perfectly well and you perpetrated deliberate fraud. YOu Oupht tO have come to me, de- nounce what you have done as a deliberate fraud, and you know where to find me.
 Governor TillmaD-I know.
 General Butler--''You know you put these booolooms up to bowling at me, and you know that you perpetrated a d--u fraud and lie when you did so.
 Cal Caughman nterjected '' ca, he is a liar, g-d d-n him, ,' and with this made move toward his hip pocket. He was talkative and was crowded to one side in the commotion.
 Governor Tillman at this juncture arose end looked him in the eye. The two were speechless for second or two. Governor Iillman: ''Now, General Butler, you are old and one legL ed. ''
 General Butler-And you are one-eyed.
 Governor Tillman--That doesn't hurt afraid of you.
 A passenger came up and asked if they bad political meetings in Pullman cars in Carolina.
 General Butler went on: ''I don't sup pose you are, but you can find me at any time.''
 General Butler made some reference to blackgusrds bowling him.
 Governor riilman promptly replied, shaking his finger in General Buler's face: ''Yes, blackguards have full sway in this state now, and you're one of those who helped to enact the anti-dueling law about fifteen years ago, and a gentleman can no longer obtain satisfaction for an inr1 Inn nfr
 General Butler--That makes no differ enee. I'll meet you anywhere and in any way.
 Cal Caughman was taken in charge by Conductor Dawkins and MT. Ellerhee and moved along. That was the beginuiEg ot tue end. The two principals kopt up fire for a minute or two when General Rut-- Ter said: tD-n it., he did not intend 10 stand any more insults about hin not pay ing his debts, and said when Govern or Til man had anything to say he knew where 10 find him.
 Butler said: ''You made reference to my debts, and will say that 1've heard that you paid S16 eco n1or.gage?h
 Governor TIlnar Why don't you state that on the stand?
 Gcuera Butler--Bscause did not choose 10.
 Governor Tillman--You know it is not so. it's ai lie.
