First the enemies of Refolm tried
to kill out the rule Of the people
with the straight-out movement, and
failed; then they tried he wage
earners' racket, which died in early
infancy. Once more they appeared
in the arena under the name OF con-
servatives and were knocked out IN
the first half of the first round; and
now we find them arrayed under the
banner of prohibition making the
same old fight began decade ago,
but so sure as truth crushed to the
earth shall rise again" so sure will
the "unholy alliance, as Senator
Tillman calls it, fail.
The Lexington dispatch. [volume] (Lexington, South Carolina) 1870-1917, 1900-08-01

Senator Ti!lmau is reported to have
spoken of an 'unholy alliance of
preachers AID bu,keepers. We do
not know whether be is correctly re-
ported or not, but we presume be
must have said something akin to
that 10 have made such an impress
sion on the reporters mind. We do
not pretend to say what the senator
meant and what prompted him to
say it. He was talking of the prohi-
bitiopists, and the fight now being
made before the people Of the State.
He has come forward as the defender
of the dispensary and in opposition
to prohibition, and be seems to be
greatly distulbt d because there are
some people in South Carolina who
are not willing to support the dis
pensary as against prohibition. He
says that there is an 'unboly alliance
of preachers and barkeepers.' If be
means that there has been an under
standing between the preachers ard
the ba, a,keepers, on this subject, be is
mistaken. If he means that there
has been formed an organization of
these elements for any purpose, be is
mistaken, and he knows it. II he
means. to insinuate that the preachers
of South Carolina would form an
alliance with barkeepers for ulterior
ends, be surely does not know the
preachers of this State. Where does
the 'unholy' alliarce come i'll? Are
the preachers 'unholy' and are they
working for an 'unholy' cause when
they work for prohibition? Or, are
the balkeepers the 'unholy' part of
the alliance? If so, what makes them
'unholy,' the liquor traffic? That is
the very thing the senator is defend
ing. Tie dispensary was brought
into being (and the senator says he
is the father of it, for that very pur-
pose. Is it possible that be is will
ing to admit that he put upon the
people of South Carolina and 'unholy
thing, and that be is doing his best
to keep up this 'unholy' work? Sen
ator Tillman evidently is uneasy lest
the preachers good Influence will be
powerful enough to help break down
the dispensary, and be seems willing
to throw contempt upon them by
linking them with the barkeepers,
and in this why break their hold
upon the people. 1t is not probable
that the people OF the State will
kindly receive this remark Of Senator
Tillman, and he has in his zeal for
his beloved institution, the dispen-
sary, gone too far and his fling at
the preachers should be resented by
all right thin king people"
