Lamar St. $d Cotton Avc., PLAIN LANGUAGE IS USED BY CONGRESSMAN TILLMAN OF SOUTH CAROLINA. The Lively Fight In South Carolina Agalnit the Sub-Treasury Scheme—The Brother of the Governor to the Reacue of the Tlllmanlte*. Charleston, Aug. 8.—Congressman George D. Tillman, of this state, has come to the assistance of his brother, Governor Ben Tillman, on the fight against the sab-treasury scheme. In a speech delivered at Parksville, Edge- field county, he very plainly outlines the fight that the Tillman wing of the De mocracy is going to moke against the Fanners’ Alliance in the next campaign. Among other lively things said by Con gressman Tillman, were the following: "God Almighty never made a grander scoundrel than Macune." Senator Peffer wag denounced as "an ex-chicken thief, and a hater of south ern men. " Macnne as "an ex-Republi- can and a scurvy politician. He (Macnne) has injected the snb-treasnry bill into the Ocala platform for a base purpose. I would tell him and Peffer what think about them if they were here, said Tillman, "and Til tell them through the public prints." The third party, he said, is projected by political assassins and ent throats, and if the Caucasian race was divided by it, hell would yawn to receive it. One cause of hard times is the scarcity of money. One-third of all the money circulation is expended for ;taxes. "We need one thousand million greenbacks more in circulation. ” He attacked the national banks. He paid his compli mentsto Macnne. He said, "God Al mighty never made a grander scound rel. ” If the Alliance of the south wants to serve its friends at the north, let it give their support to Campbell, of Ohio. As long as the Alliance confines Itself to business and social advance ment be was for it, bat since it had gone into politic* he was against it. Alliance papers and Democratic papers should whoop him np with all their strength, and should do all the work with a vim and dash, for he is fighting the battles of both parties. The Democrats of this country, con tinued he, should throw Cleveland over board ; they can’t afford to snpport him. The Democrats of the west and south can’t affiliate too much with such east ern Democrats aa oppose the free coin age of silver. Affiliation with them will greatly hamper and hurt the party, and may defeat ft. Cleveland never earned a state west of the Ohio river, mainly owing to his opposition to free silver. The platform for which the Ohio Demo- crats are fighting is the ground on which the Alliance and the south should make its fight The platform condemns the iniquitous force bill and the McKin ley tariff, and favors the free o .inage of silver. It also advocates an income tax which will lessen the taxes of the poor, and make the rich pay a more just pro portion of the expense* of the country. Tillman's utterances derive significance from the fact that they indicate a break in the hitherto solid ranks of the Alii- •boo in this state. J. W. Stokes, president of the State Alliance, and W. F. Tolbert, state treas urer, lead the sub-treasury wing, rad Governor Tillman and hi* brother the anti-rab-treasury wing. The straight- out Democrat* who were overwhelmed in the last election, and whose voting strength is in the towns and dries, are watching the fanner** fight with much BERNER'S LITTLE BILL interest. THE PARTY GOING To the Field to Proceed In Experiment ing In Bnln linking. Four Worth, Tex., Ang. 8.—The west bound Texas and Pacific passenger train had on board a party of dietin- tinguisbed gentlemen, composed as fol lows: General Dryenforth, as general director of the work*; Professor Meyers and C.
