ford, Governor Tillman spoke with more
than his usual temperateness. He said,
II deprecate, along with all law abiding
mon, tho spirit Of lawlsssness and tho
spirit to incito resistance to tho Inv and
to magnify and distort all efforts to on
force It into acts of tyranny and blood
thirst -ess. The dispensary law Is not
on trial as much rs all law and obedt-
ence to tho recognized channels through
which laws arc enforced. l invoke tho
moral support Of all good citlzens,
pensary or not, to put down this rebel
fious spirit. I intend to put it down
with iron hand, but the collision be-
tweon tho constables, tho sheritfs and
other officers of tho law will bo minim-
izod If those who ought to know and do
know better would seek to discourage
tho lawless clements in ther resistance"
