TILLMAN CHARGES BRIBERY.

Yesterday was the last day of the bis
political rally at Union, s. c., and the
heavy artillery was reserved for the
fiual attack upon Commercial Demo
cracy." Il was vehemently urged tha
McLaurin's rule would be worse thar
negro domination. Senator TiIlman's
speech, naturally, was the central point
Of interest. In the course OF this be
made denial OF McLaurin's assertions
and made charge Of bribery against
his colleague.
Ex-Gov. John Gary Evans, who was
defeated by McLaurin for the Senate
also made a sensational speech. Evans
added that McLlurln had Mark Hsnps'c
money jiDgliDg 10 bis pockets and he
ought to be hanged. He insisted thai
another traitor should not be put into
McIsurin's shoes, and indicated bic
readiness TO fill the Office faithfully.
Representative Talbert. who came in
to prominence 10 Congress by block
ing private pension claims, is q caDdi-
date for Governor. He announced him
self as opposed to using he white mans
money for the education OF the negro.
Ex- Representative George johnson al.
30 denocnced McLaurlnsm. TIE real
danger in this split was the negro be-
coming the balance OF power and de.
bauc rug the white vote. He pointed
out that the present franchise law was
but mekeshift, and the educated ne
gro would soon be asserting himself.
Senator Tillman took one OF his old
time "hsnd primaries" and not hand
was raised for "commercialism." He
was fierce against McLaurin aud Nc.
Laurinism. He pressed the point about
the danger of negro voters. He, who
had framed the disfranchisemen clause
in the constitution, admitted that, under
the property and educational quslifica-
ton, then young generation OF negroes
would WELD power.
~ would like to get in front OF Nc
Lsurin and shake my fist In his face"
exclaimed the Senator. The time seem.
ed 10 be coming, he said, when an eff
fort would be made by the mills to CO.
cree voters, and he warned the mill OFF,
Gals not to try 1t, as the Legislature
bad the power to save the masses aud
they would exercise il. Abiding to
McLsuriu, Senator Tillmsn asked if
the representatives OF the people were
to sail the power given them for pa
tronsge.
"rhese fellows are sneskipg, like
snakes In the grass. McKinley's State
with Hanna presiding over the con-
vention, has just adopted a platform
looking TO taking ewsy the South's
representation, yet Hsnna's lieutenant
here is parading up and down the
State telling you the negro won't
bother you any MORE"
Tillman said he had tried to avoid all
this trouble, but the Governor wanted
peace and quiet" As to McLaurin's
charge OF dishonesty, Tillman said:
81 never took a dollar and every
body knows 1t. Why did be vote for
treaty on Monday after a speech
against ratification on Saturday pre-
cediDg9 l charge bribery. 1t will take
somebody of more character and re.
sponsibility than this John Lawrence
McLaurin to made the people believe
that any dishonest dollar ever passed
to my palm. They would not believe
any such damnable slauders."
at this the audience rose and cheered.
