The senator took up Appelt's ques-
tions categorically; answering the

of the primary in South Carolina.

the people of Clarendon were not
manly enough to vote according to
their convictions, but that they re-
ceived their orders from Tillman.
He had not been in Clarendon for
eight years and did not personally
know 20 men in the county. 1t is
good thing for me that I came here to
wake you up from your lethargy and
keep some people from making asses
of themselves.
The senator then declared that in
order to mix little clean meat with
this csrrion, he had prepared the
following remarks which he wished
reported verbatim. Looking at the
reporters, he said it was like a piece
of apple pie to schoolboy, because
it goes to the press without their
having to sweat TO work it up.
OF DEEP INTEREST.
There is a matter of deep inter lest
which will come up for discussion
and settlement in the coming May
convention, and as I am the repre-
sentative of the Democracy of this
State upon the national committee it
may not be improper for me to ex-
press my views on it and to inform
you as to the sentiment and feeling
of the Democrats in Washington on
the subject. The Democratic party
in South Carolina has occupied a
peculiar position for 20 years. The
whites are in the minority in this
State and under the reconstruction
dispensation there were some $4,000
more negro voters than whites. The
conseq quence was that after the over
thrc of the carpet-bag government
in 1915 we adopted system Of party
government and the white people of
the State were educated in the en-
ployment of political methods that
obtained hardly anywhere else. We
have had an Emporium in imperio"
or government within government.
Democracy has meant white supre-
macy, and Republicanism meant
negro equality. The necessity for
white unity overshadowed the other
considerations and the Democrats of
the State were taught that submis-
sion to the will of the majority and
loyal support of the nominees of the
party were paramount to all other
considerations.
The lamented Hampton taught us
that an independent was worse than
q radical" Like all his actions and
utterances in those tr, ing days that
advice was the very essence of wis
dom and patriotism. His clear judg-
ment-his most Distinguishing char

20. Did you not on the hustings

ing that the whiskey trust had

He took his seat amid hurrahs

to this sort of thing.
At this point he was interrupted
by the crowd and Tillman came for
ward and said that he was not here
as bulldozer, but as a prisoner
at the bar on trial for thievery, and
that he wanted Applet to have fair
play.
Appelt recalled the days when he
was roaring Tillmanite, declaring
that he was still a reformer, but
that he differed from Tillman Oh the
primary. As newspaper man he
had criticised him as he had right
to do. His charges were not from
personal knowledge, bat on written
information. What he undertook
to reason out was on circumstsntial
evidence.
There was nothing in his private
letters to Tillman to show that he
was two faced. What he had said
therein about McLaurin he had
also said in his paper, and he would
now state that if McLaurin was
shown not to be Democrat he would
not vote for him. He would follow
the Democratic party in whatever
action it took.
But McLaurin had nothing to do
with this matter. He had told him
in the last conversation he had with
him that it began to look as if he
were making fight he could not
stand up to and if he was going into
the republican party not to expect
him. McLaurin had replied that he
had no such idea, and he believed
him.
He declared that if the pledge
that elected Tillman to Office was
good enough then it was good
enough now. He protested against

Manning, S. c., April 25.-The
meeting today was the result of an
Invitation to Tillman from nearly
500 citizens of Clarendon county to
come here and speak in refutation of
the charges, and about 1000 persons
were present. The senator was well
received. Last night he was enter
rsined at banquet at the Manning
hotel, rendered by committee OF
business men and county officers.
At IL o'clock this morning 8 com
mittee of so citizens escorted the
senator to the stand, which had been
built, as was the case when be spoke
here eight years ago, on whiskey
barrels.

self that he would be in Manning
today to answer his charges, by in
vitstion of citizens.
Here the correspondence was read
between Senator Tillman and Sena
tor Appelt in regard to the meeting
and the charges.
After reading the letter Senator
Tillman said that the Times of De-
cember 7 contained ISLANDERS against
him to the effect that he was a thief.
He had ignored similar accusations
from others. If he took time to an
swer the thousands OF lies against
him he might grow to the age of Me
thuselah without getting to the top
of the pile.
At Gaffney he told McLaurin to
60 before the people because he
wanted to stamp out treachery, and
he knew if he killed the head of the
snake the other part would rot and
die. Since then the little whipper-
snapper newspapers that McLaurin
had bought, such as the Greenville
News and the Columbia Record
one with the Postofice at Greenville
and the other with the collectorship
at Cclumbia-hsd kept their COL
umns filed with abusive charges
against him.
1t was only when my friend here,
who got your votes because he was
the biggest Tiltmanite in Clarendon,
undertook to father these accusations
that deemed it worth my while to
answer them.
| demanded that his slanders
cease, but be replied with four
columns of slush and with the Gun
ming of the devil reiterated them.
So am here. But I must say that
| ain here more particularly because
as we are about to organize the par
ty it is we'll that one of your leaders
come and tell you some things to as
sist you in maintaining its purity
aud integrity.
If the prosecuting attorney is
ready to proceed with the case [ will
WELD him the foor for the present.
The senator then took bis seat
amid cries of "Hnrrah for Till,
man." "Trot out Applet" "Give Ap
q cup of tea and let the measles
breat out" Hit him Appelt."
