We are a little surprised at Populist

A Charleston paper gives us the details
of a recent meeting in that city between
Senator Butler and Governor Tillman.
The crowd was very large. and. about
s o'clock, the Governor put In his appear
ance. lie was received with cheers and
Kisses. which lasted for some time, where
upon the Governor, by way Of getting
himself thoroughly en- rapport with his
audience shouted:
This is the fifth time I've tried to poke
some sense into the heads Of you people.

you did the second time / came here
This was IN reference TO a stampede
that occurred on his second unsuccessful
attempt 10 poke some sense into the
heads of the Charlestonians. his com
pettor on that occasion having been
symptoms OF an earthquake.
The subject was tender one and ala

and they took no pains to conceal that
fact After struggling along for a while,
| Tillman relieved the monotony by yelling:
"You are set Of old fossils ana you
| can 20 10 the devil in your own way"
And telling them that. as they did not

ator Butler. he added:
Hear my parting shot. | am going to
ram the dispensary down your Threats
with the constabies and the militia and
a metropolitan police. and you'll have to
stand 1t whether you want TO or not"
For what followed we quote from our
Charleston contemporary:
Gilman was succeeded by General
Butler. who had the crowd with him. lie
began by expressing his wonder and
amazement at the manner In which Gov
ernOr Tillman insulted the audience.
Just then there was tiutter in the
crowd, and without any premontior

Several hundred hats were lost IN tn,

This is not the way they used to dc
things in South Carolina; but wherever
the Populists prevail they are sure e
