Durcan-I think should in fair
ness be allowed to ask question.
Sit down, said Evans, and the
crowd cheered while Duncan sat down
So Duncan did not have an oppor
tunity Of questioning in this higl
court of equity, either Governor Evan:
witnesses, Mr.. Maytield, nor his owr
witness, Mr.. Barber.
Governor Evans read from his mes
sage where he had advocated taking
the board OF control out Of the hands
of politicians The sole grievance OF
that man was that the board had been
taken out OF their -TompkIns is his
father-in law hands. Why did he

vans-No.hing from you, SIR. Sit
down. Cheers
In reference TO the disp5nSary he
asked why, if he had not wanted IL
pat the d!spensary out of politics, he
had not held on to it and used it as 3
political machine TO get into the sen
ate.
Governor Evans then proceeded to
discuss national issues. He praised
the Shell Manifesto. 1t hsd been de,
clared in 1890 to be lie from begin
ming to end, if il was lie then it was
a lie now, but as it has been inculcat'
ed in the Chicago platform some peo-
pile had to eat crow. CHEERS for the
Alliance
Toe sub treasury plan had done
more good than anything else. 1t
showed the people were desperate and
would 60 to extremes and ram it down
the throats of their oppressors if relief
was not given. On that they had
won.
Wauldit be right to put these men
in the lead who had been against the

the governor, are not going TO turn
out the old horse after he has worked
faithfully to be eaten by the buzzards.
(Lively cheering.)
He brought the people good tidings.
They were going to win; the demands
of the Alliance that held its meetins ss
not in court houses OR banks, but un-
der the shade that God Almighty gave,
were going to be honored. (Cheers.) }
When they went to Washington next
March to inaugurate Bryan he was
going to take some Of the old Alliance
leadeas with him. They were not 60

back seats. He would say of the men
who are fighting this movement, "God
pity you, you have no brains. Eel
low citizens. it is Gods fault, not
mine" Scattering laughter.)
Cleveland has issued $265, 900, 900 il
gold bonds, and what was the result2
H. could not hold it in the treasury
long enough for it to makea yellow
streak in passing through. The re-
serve was again below the limit, and
Cleveland would issue more bonds to-
day if he was not afraid the people
would rise up and sweep them off the
face of the earth.
Senator Tillman, said Governor
Evans, deserved more credit for writ
ing the Chicago platform than any
other man in the United States, news.

the platform adopted by the Demo-
cratic convention OF this State, with
the writing OF which | had something

Republican because he stands oa the
Republican platform.
Governor Evans asked the people to
stand firm. He did not believe they
could be fooled. They would put in
the United States senate with Ben
Tillman the man who had been by his
side from the start. (Cheers.) lie
would like to embrace every man here
he would not speak of embracing
any others-he loved them all.
AS soon as Evans took his seat there
were cheers for Tillman. Calls for
him were loud and long. The sena-
tor responded as follows:
Fellow citizens, I need not say
that appreciate fully this greeting.
My being here is purely an accident:

have really enjoved listening to the
able speeches. You know the rules OF
the party do not permit one not can
didatd to make a speech at these meet
lngs. Goodbye"
When Senator Tlllman was talking
the crowd was on their feet, and at his
conclusion the cheerin9 was enthusl-
astic.
When Mr.. Ellerbee was introduced
the crowd was standing, taking look
at Senator Tillman VINO was making
his way out OF the hall. The worst Of
it was-as the candidates saw twas
that the crowd went out with him.
we will vote for you, Ellerbe, "
shouted man as he departed from
the hall. Ellerbee said that unless
there was a different arrangement OF
the program, the candidates who came
after the senatorial runners would
have to devise some means, such as
storytelling tc hold the crowd.
The other candidates then spoke.
During Mr.. MayGeld's speech, Mr..
Duncan asked him aoout what Mlxson
had said as to rebates. He asked
whether Mixson had denied to him
that those statements he (Ouncan) had
made were untrue Mr.. Mayfeld re-
piled that Mixson did not, and repeat,
ed what Mixson had said, just as he
did during the governors speech.
The meeting was quiet and orderly
except when Whitman attempted to
criticise Tillman and the crowd howl
ed him down.
