De ITeSlQ6uL.
Tillman: II an afraid it will be 4
long time before get near that but
am going to the Senate. (Applause and
cheers)
Governor Tillman followed his talk
on silver by discussion Of his plan for
issuing greenback money and chunked
Cleveland occasionally, to the delight
of his audience. He said that an artl-
fetal panic was brought about last sum
mer when the scoundrels were getting
ready to demoneotize silver.
The Governor spoke Of "Cleveland
and bis minority or traitors" and asked
who wants to 60 into another Democra'
tic convention to be imposed on by the
scoundrels who are manipulating the
party? He said the party has gone to
pieces and the Republicans and Popu-
lists will sWeer everything this fall.
Referring to the charge that he had
insulted the people of Charleston before
be was hoWled down, the Governor said
it was false and repeated what he had
said.
Voice: ou can't get any sense into
the heads of those people in Charles
ton"
Tillman: "Well, wait until / get the
constables after them. daughter. II
the constables can't do anything | will
send Watts militia down." Laughter.)
The Governor said it was not the
good people Of Charleston who had
hoWled him down, but 1t was the Can
TINS and the Notes.
The Governor said he would have to
be little salty with Butler. The SEN
ator had intimated several times
that he (Tillman) was coward because
he had not jumped on SlmontOn IN
Charleston. When he wanted to talk
about Simonton in Charleston the COM
mitree would not allow him. 1t was
said in 1890 that he (Tillman) would
not go TO Orangeburg and Say that
Judge Izlar was a perjure7, but he had
done so.
The Governor said it was about time
that Butler was bringing the proof that
he (Tillman) could not be found during
the Hamburg riot. He was getting
near his home now where mis- part in
the Hamburg rot is known and it was
time Butler was springing his trap.
Tillman, in talking about Slmonton
said that Simonton had sucked States
rights with his mothers milk and had
been the first man to plant dagger III
the States breast. SinontOn had been
appointed because be was the tool OF
Chamberlain and Wall street. TI!lman
poked hot shot into Simonton.
Speaking of the talk about peace and
unity, Tillman said the Conservatives
hated him because the Ref0rmers sup
ported him. They do not want peace
and unity and if they keep up as they
are the Reformers will have to clear
out the road as they have before.
Governor Tillmad said that the Dis:
pensary will reopen about the l5t OF
August. The Governor took hand
primary on the DispeDsary and 1t was
unanimous for that system of control
ling the liquor traffic. The Governor
turned toward the hotel piazza for the
vote against the Dispensary and sever
al ladies raised their hands.
Theshand primary to decide between
himself and Butler for the Senate Was
almost unanimous for Tlllman, and
thunderous applause followed.
THE GAME COCKS COUNTY.
Aiken people love the bright and
brainy young candidate OF theirs for
Governor, and gave him An ovation
which would tlstter man OF many
wears OF political ambition satisfied. II
possible the applause for him was more
yoluminOus than for Tlllman. AS
Chairman CASTOR arose to Introduce
him the applause was 80 loud and pro
ionged that the chairman could noJ
proceed for several minutes.
The Game Cock was hailed with tre-
mendous applause and was cheered and
throughout his speech. lie
said he was proud TO address the Game
Cocks of Aiken. The reception which
had been given him affected him more
than he could tell. Some people say
that here is no gratitude, but he was
grateful to the people of Aiken for the
honors they have conferred On him. II
he should evet be ungrateful he would
want to be lynched.
Senator Evans said if he was any
Judge Aiken would have the next Gov
ernor. cloud cheers.)
Aiken, he declared, would do her duty
no matter who was nominated for GOV
ernor and would not sulk. (Applau3e.)
Senator Evans said that their ene-
mics call Tillman the big devil and him
the little devil. Naughter0 lie was
SORRY to see several women voting In
favor of the Dispensary. lie appealed
to the women Of Aiken to say that
dnrinp the time the Dispensary law
was in effect the streets OF Aiken were
free of drunksrds. Any women could
walk the streets then and feel that she
was safe, but she couldn't do so
under the saloon system. If left to a
vote he knew the women OF Aiken
would vote for the Dispensary.
Senator Evans proceeded to talk on
the Dispensary, maintaining the posi-
tioD he has all along taken, that no
better law can be passed.
Besides the great applause which en-
sued when Senator Evans sat down two
little girls walked on the stand and
him with beautiful bouquets.
Senator Evans promised his admirers
to get married as soon as this canvass
is over.
Secretary of State Tindal followed
the Game Cock. He told why the Re
form movement had been organized
and what were its objects. Hes gave
the usual advice to the farmers about
keeping up their organization and made
one of the plain, practical talks which
characterize him. MIR. Tindal said he
would enforce the Dispensary If elected
Governor.
ELLERBE'S BRIEF TALK.
General Elerbe was introduced at 3
o'clock aud spoke briefly. The Marion
Swamp Fox said he regretted that he
had to bring the people of Aiken bad
news. 1t was that Aiken would not
have the next Governor. Marion
county would have that honor.
(Laughter.)
General Ellerbe said that Alken'S
Game Cock has lost some Of his tea-
theirs recently aad has been lighting
something like dung hill. lie told
how he had been blistering his Cousin
] Ohm and how John had not been blis-
tering him in return, like a Game COCK
ought to. His humorous remarks about
Evans we're greeted with laughter and
some applause. What lie said was IN
the best of humer and q number OF the
