The Washington Correspondent OF
the New York Sun Of last Saturday:
1.-THE contest between Gov. Tillman
and Butler Of South Carolina for the
term beginning the 4th Of March next,
is apt to be very bitter. 1t was ill-na-
tured enough before the recent 'insur-
rectionn in the Palmetto State, and
and that event has but added fuel to
the flames. 1t recently came to the
Senator'S ears that the Governor had
intimated that he had better remain In
Washington and attend to his duties
in anticipation Of an indefinite fur
Tough. This led tho senator to remark
to-day:
Eyes, It Is very natural that Gov.
Tillman should not want me In the
State, Of all men In the world. Ipunc.
ture the bubbles he blows up. and Of
course he does not relish that. I'll com.
pare records Of absence from our posts
of duty with him. When 1 have been
away from my post, it has been in the
interest Of peace and harmony among
The Carolina Spartan. [volume] (Spartanburg, S.C.) 1852-1896, 1894-04-18

BY taking charge Of the police Of all
the towns and cities OF the State, Gov
ernor Tillman either intends to back
down from his obnoxious and auto
traffic methods Of enforcing the dispen-
sary law, or he wishes to produce COL
lissions In every town as was done in
Darlington. As he Is not one Of the
back down kind, he probably wants
the collisions and bloodshed. Let the
cool, conservative citizens of both par
ties be on their guard to prevent dis
turbances Of any sort. Darlington is
not the only town in which the
Governor would like to see few people
shot down. Our people should not
give him the shadow OF q chance to
have this done.

ate. He was the leader in the IN
| against the Mckinley bill, n a fine
fight it was, aiding materially in the
popular victories that followed through
the light that it shed upon the true work
| ings of the tariff. In the long struggle
in the Senate over the Wilson bill, Mr..
Mcpherson was in the main on the right
side. 1t is true he did not sympathizee
with the IDEAS of the Wilson measure IN
their extremity; but from the very out
set he declared he was willing to sup
port it if it represented the will of the
Democratic majority. AS a simple mat
ter of fact, he did his best to heip the
cause of tariff reform along by every
vote he cast, and much, of the enmity
which has driven him out of the present
contest was due to his position in this
fight.
1t NAV be that this ~declination is not
the end Of Mr.. McPherson's political
career. He may appear two years from

He has remarkable mental gifts, great
experience and an understanding of ma

indispensable to his party.

OAVALRYMEN's REUNION.
Survivors of the First New Jersey
to Meet in Red Bank.
Special to the Jersey City Neus.

" hpCCtut u tHO 0cIocy NtS WV"
RED BANK, Oct. 9, 1s94.-The fifteenth
annual reunion of the First New Jersey
Cavalry will be held here next Thursday
The veterans will hold a business meet
ing in the rooms of Arrowsmith Post in
the morning and at noon they will par
AXE of a collation. at the Globe Hotel.
The First New Jersey Cavalry was
made up of New Jersey men with the
exception of Company A, which was
mustered in at Hatboro, Pa. with ninety
seven men, eighty-five of whom fur
nished their own horses and equipments
and offered their services to the Gov
ernor of New Jersey. The regiment
served during the whole of the war. The
original muster roll contained 1,1G0 men
and recruits afterward Joined the regi-
ment until the regimental roll CON
IdaiEed 3,700 names. Only 500 of these
came back, from the war, all the others
either having been killed. wounded or
discharged for disability. In the North
ern Army there were ZIG regiments OF
1 cavalry, and the First New Jersey stood
sixth on the list for the number of men
killed and wounded.
Death is rapidly thinning the ranks
of the survivors. Two years ago there
were only ninety-SeVen names on the re-
union list, but before the reunion of 1883
eleven of these veterans had died.
TIL report of the Operations of the
First New Jersey Cavalry" published by
the Government in 1866, shows that dur
ing the rebellion this regiment, from De-
eember 80, 1861, was engaged in ninety
seven lights with the enemy, beginning
at Pohick Church, neal Mount Vernon.
and ending at Appomatox Court House.
Among these recorded engagements are
Cross Keys, the second Bull Run, Chan
tilly, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, Gaines
Mills, Cold Harbor and the whole run OF
Grants campaign, from the Wilderness
to Richmond and Petersburg, and thence
to the running down and surrender of
the remnant of General Lees Army.
