The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1894-07-24

and antis are getting together. HI,
wanted peace above everything else.
Senator Butler discussed the tariff
more lengthily than usual to day. He
admitted he voted for one cent bounty
on sugar, but was opposed to the two
cent bounty as proposed by the Nc
Kinley bill. General Butler said tha,
we ought to wait till the end Of Glove
lands terms before showering whole,
sale denunications on him. The Demo.
Gratis the next time, however, should
go West for it's Presidential nominee.
General Butler said that when the
ants want to go in with the uncles
| they are refused. He had advised his
| Conservative friends in Edgeeld to
| join the Reform clubs. When he had
| applied for membership and taken the
oath to.abide the result of the prim-
ary, they had been shut out and re-
fused membership in these clubs. He
couldn't see why the Conservatives
wore to be shut out of the participa-
tion in the selection of a Governor. He
wanted to know what peace and har-
mony there was in this. Governor
didnt bel believe "ths shis They sy want 'IS peace @
and harmony, and should be given an
opportunity to show whether they
mean this or not.
Senator Butler made fine talk on
this line and cautioned the Reformers
against arbitrary action toward tho
Conservatives.
Senator Butler had running debate
with a young man in the audience. All
the time rain had been falling and
Senator Butler had to contend with O
plentitude of water and the abundance
Of mouth of his young friend. The
colloquy was good-natured and was
joined in by others.
Senator Butler declared that he Is
going to the Senate again, and the audi
ence insisted on disabusing his mind of
that idea.
The rain fell so hard that Senator
Butler stopped speaking. The crowd
wouldn't bulge as it wanted to hear
Governor Tillman.
Whom the Governor was introduced
he was hailed with perfect huzzas and
applause and cheers. His supporters
made merry with him and he had
a regular running dialogue with them.
One man, u rank hater of the Dispen-
sary. interrupted the Governor often
with would-be funny remarhs, but was
crushed each time and the crowd yelled
their approval Of all Governor Tillman
said to his questioner.
In answer to one of the questions of
this man and in talking about blind
tigers Governor Tillman said that the
cOnstables will be going around in about
two or three weeks closing the eyes Of
the tigers now in operation. This is
the first announcement of q time when
the Dispensaries are to be reopened.
The crowd insisted on Governor Till
man talking Dispensary and he did so.
The enthusiastic applause given him in
his discussion of the Dispensary law
showed that the people Of Hampton are
a unit for this law and that nothing
will change their minds.
In speaking of the fact that the Dis
pensaries give full measure, Governor
Tillman said that all the glass men in
men want thcir bottles to hold many
ouncoss less than they ought to hold.
The Dispensaries give full measure
with each bottle.
One man asked Governor Tillman
why he doesn't enforce prohibition
law. He answered that all his con-
stables have been taken away from him
and that 1t is the duty Of the Sheritfs
and Trial Justices to enforce this law.
After the Governor had talked Dis
pensary good while he took hand
vote on the Dispensary. One vote
against the law was cast and the Gov
ernor said this was cast by the drunken
friend who had been interrupting him.
Everybody voted for that law when
that side was put.
A perfect avalanche Of cheers and ap-
plause was given the Governor when
he bade the crowd goodbye and thank
ed them in advance for their voting
for him for Senator. Later the people
crowded on the stand and shook hands
with the Governor.
