TrLLMAN AND EVANS SCORED.
The Exhibitors' Association Gen.
sures Their Speeches.

Atlanta, Ca, Dec. 5.--Senator Tillman
and Gov. Evans OF South Carolina re-
ceived a red-hot roast at the hands of
Exhibitors Association of the exposition
to-day, in consequence of their speech de-
ivered at The exposition last week on the
occasion of South Carolina day. The SEN
ator and the governor outraged every
sense of good taste in their assaults upon
the efforts Of the exposition management
and of the northern visitors to encour-
age fraternal feeling between the sec
tions, as we'll as by villifying President
Cleveland and the administration, Sena-
tor Tillman. in one instance OF ridicule,
saying that he had drawn more people
to the exposition than the President.
The resolutions adopted, in part, are as
follows:
Resolved by the Exhibitors Association
or the Atlanta exposition, a body COM
posed largely Of American citizens, rep
resenting all parts of the union and all
shades OF political opinion, that we deep
~ deplore the one marked and hagrant
exception TO the heretofore prevailing
expressions Of fraternity, brotherly love,
patriotism and loyalty that were made
manifest at this exposition on South
carolina day, and IN which an eX-gover-
nor of that state, Ben Tillman, and the
present governor, John Gary Evans, were
the offenders.
Resolved That we know from our con-
tact and intercourse for the past few
months with southern people that in their
disloyal and inflammatory utterances
those two ranting demagogues are libel
on the better class Of southerners and do
not give voice to the prevailing southern
sentiment.
Resolved. That we sympathize with the
southern states OF our union in the af-
Fiction which compels them to indorse
such blots on their inner worth and such
clogs 10 their merited progress, and we
especially sympathize with the ignorance
that must yet prevail in South Carolina
to make 1t possible for such scum to rise
to the surface.
Resolved. That for the fame and good
name OF the Atlanta exposition, at which
these men were unfortunately permitted
to speak. we denounce their speeches as
being devoid OF reason. sense and pa
triotism, and we repudiate the speakers.
In this we feel confident we are but voic-
Ing the sense OF our country and the
earnest feelings of the people Of all
southern states.
Resolved, That we sympathize also with
the Management of this exposition that un-
der the cloak OF temporary authority two
such fantics should have been able 10 IN
trude their .utterances upon the otherwise
healthy and satisfactory proceedings that
have characterized this enterprise. But
while dismlssing the utterances OF these
men as unworthy Of further notice from
our association or the country, we do not
forget that in the general economy OF ma
ture mankind must have his troubles and
communities their Affections It Is not
many years since California was greatly
annoyed by a brace of bandits known as
Evans and Sontag, and the exhibition
witnessed here on the 18th of November Is
but an evidence that South Carolina in iti
turn Is enduring, through its own indis
cretions, a season Of torment from its Till
man and Evans.
