LISTENED TO TALBERT.
The house rang with cheers for Tai

with some for Tillman. Quiet reigned
as soon as Col. Talbert began his
speech. He thanked the people of the
county of his birth for the magnificent
reception given him. Loves the peo-
pie of South Carolina-grandeSt of
States: appreciated honors bestowed
upon him by the people Of his home
best of all. Disdained to talk of de-
merits of others: standing upon his
merits, record and manhood. Resorts
to no mean politics, disdainS wire
pulling. An unusual outburst OF ap-
plause, even for this occasion, began
again, cries for Talbert and Tillman
mingling. 1t was explained in a few
moments by the appearance OF Lieut..
Gov. Tillman, who came to the front,
as he was the next speaker.
STICK TO BLACK BARBARIANS.
Col. Talbert made his usual speech
up to this point with more than usual
vigor and was enthusiastically cheered
at various intervals, these ringing out
loud and always mingled with some
cries for Tillman. The air rang with
cheers when Col. Talbert announced
his unalterable opposition to taxing
white men to educate negroes. Hats
were waved and cheers were redoubled.
! DROWNING OF 4 SPEECH.
Pandemonium reigned again, Tai
bert could not be heard amid counter
cheers for Talbert and Tillman. This
was the most perSistently noisy de-
monstration Of the meeting up to this
time. Col. Talbert stopped his speech
amid this absolute babel Of mixed
noises. He was presented with flow
ers and retired.
THE FACTIONS YELLING.
Air splitting Edgefeled yellS, loud
and continued greeted the appearance
OF Col. Tillman. Again counter
cheers for Tillman and Talbert greeted
the ears with vehement roar. The
chairman'S gavel was of no avail and
for long time Col. Tillman faced the
cheering, noisy crowd. The continu-
Gus beating of the chairman's gavel
added to this with no Quieting effect.
At last silence reigned momentarlly
anC Col. Tillman thanked the friends
1t his home who gave him such en-
thusiastic welcome. He spoke OF the
courteous greeting given him at the
home of Capt. Hayward and was sure
a similar one awaited them at Green
vile. He would not discuss the issues
today: it was not necessary. What
ever record he had made he would
stand or fall by it. Tremendous
cheers for Tillman, Talbert'S friends
Joining in for Talbert. Order with
extreme difficulty was restored.
THE LADIES WITHDRAW.
At this junctpre the ladies all left
building and audience was deaf to the
appeals of the chairman. Every ap'
peal was met by renewed cheers fol
Tillman and Talbert. The chairman
appealed, saying: L do not know
who you are yelling for, but l ask
friends of each candidate to restore
order and let the speaking proceed ir
decent and proper manner. Thls
had no effect whatever-the bowling
continued. The crowd remained: 81
did Col. Tillman, though his audience
was nearly frenzied. Col. Tillmar
appealed to his friends and Col. Tai
bert to his and for few second!
something like order was restored. II

splitting yells. The chairman agair
appealed for order: Wont you be

and Talbert. Col. Tillman stood hi
