man broke out, it being difficult to tell
which had the best of it. There were
some cheers for Evans.
County Chairman Ketchin stepped
forward and the noise ceased.
The Governor turned around without
another word and resumed his speech
by saying he would now spank Butler
some. He chunked the Senator brisk
ly for few minutes and next turned
his heavy guns on Cleveland, referring
to the President at the beginning as
that black hearted old scoundrel

We are held down." the Governor
said, land our noses put to the grind

that old scoundrel, and the Senate
what l think OF them. Loud applause
The Governor said that yesterday he
had issued proclamation reopening
the dispensaries until the Supreme
Court decides the 1893 law or the Leg
islature changes it. He reviewed his
action in closing the dispensaries after
the decision of the court, and the whole
business from beginning to end In
reopenlng the dispensaries he is simply
obeying the will of the people.
He then took a hand primary in the
audience on the question of whether
they want the present state of affairs
or the dispensary. Not q hand was
raised for prohibition, and a large
number went up to back up the dis
pensary.
The Governor said he didn't believe
in allowing the whiskey men to boss
things any longer. He was going to
give them chance to dispose of the
rot they have on hand before he put the
screws on them.
Some newspapers, the Governor said,
are predicting bloodshcd They are
simply encouraging violation of the
law.
Governor Ti'lman said he noticed
that an Alliance of this Stat had adopt
ed resolution that it would not sup
port any man for Office who is not In
full accord with the Ocala demands.
The Governor said:
1t Is we'll known that do not en-
dorse all the Alliance demands. If the
lliance wants to hurt itself and Re-
form, l can prosecute that course. I
believe that there are enough Alliance
men who believe in my honesty to sup
port me-" (Applause.)
The Governor concluded by warning
his friends to send none but rock rib
bed Tillmanites to the Legislature. He
said Wall Street and the whiskey trust
will turn losse barrels of money when
the Legislature meets to beat him
(Tillman) for the Senate.
The applause was spontaneous and
lots OF bouquets were sent the Govern
