STATE CAMPAIGN AT PlGkENS.
Pickens, August Especial:
The Third Party seems to have n
pretty good hold on Piokens Coun-
ty. That was perhaps the most
notable feature Of to-day's cam
paign meeting. Whatever unkind
and mean was said of the Demo-
cratic party and Cleveland was
cheered, and Governor Tillman's
expression of his intention to loave
the party as soon as he saw ray
of hope in the Westwas applauded
to tho echo. Governor Tillman,
however, braved the Third Party
ties by attacking their pct dream,
the sub-treasury scheme. Cover
nor Tillman was q bit mad about
the attempt to monkey with the
"Reform" primary convention and
everlastingly pounced upon those
who are attempting to mako the
change. He saw spooks and talk
cd about vision of his being
swapped off by Gubernatorlal CAN
didates, about their having selfish
motives, and about Judas and
such things. Who was he talking
about2 When / asked who was
meant he enigmatically replied that
those who lived in glass houses had
their roofs broken III, and when it
rained they would know whose roof
had a hole in it. His Introductory
prelude ON the heads of the fallen
i"Reformers' was about tho only
sensation Of tho day. Otherwise
everything was exceedingly quot
, and poaceablo.

his favor and that Bishop Ilagood 90

Mr.. Harrison branchod out and "
took up the call for the "Reform' ~

Tuesday and hope that it would be l.
so fixed that every votor could OK
press himself for State officers.
The whole trouble existed because
,ho people did not vote directly
for their candidates. He made a
strong speech against the conven-

He hastily referred the audience
to his record as auditor and phos-
nbate commissioner. AS far black
as 1883 he began to call attention

ments, he remarked. He makes
better speech than ho givos himself
credit for. Gen. Richbourg's
speech held the crowd during a
light rain. He reviewed most of
his work and explained his po-
sition towards tho Haskell move
