TILLMAN VS. IRBY.
They Made the Speeches of Their Lives, But
Tillman Won When it Came to
a Vote.
Columbia, S. C„ Oct. 31.—This morning,
(after wasting about an hour, the conven
tion once more took up the suffrage prob
lem, and hua been on it the entire morn
ing. Senator Irby got the floor and made
a long speech attacking the report of the
committee. He used vigorous language
and was listened to very closely. No
one Interrupted him. He was pretty
heavy on Senator Tillman and others.
His speech was somewhat sensational.
Amendment after amendemnt to the plan
has been voted down today, and early In
the night session all these amendments
will be disposed of, and then Tillman will
take the floor and make his speech.
In his speech today Senator Irby said
among other things:
• I say now, nothwithstanatng some
slurs cast upon me In my absence, that
I am not an ingrate that would accept
this highest office in South Carolina from
the poor and illiterate white men and
then trample ithem beneath my feet.
They have been my friends, sir, and so
help me God X Intend to be their friend
and endeavor to protect them from what
I believe to be an Iniquity politically. I
say that by way of preface. Fearing to
trust myself, indisposed as I have been, I
have written what I conceive to be a
protest against the perpetration of this
outrage. I have to say, sir, that I am
not governed by what other men may
do. Thank God. I think and act for my
self, and I stand here today to tell the
members of this convention that I will
vote with the negroes when they propose
to indefinitely postpone this bill if we
leave the conditions of this section for
you as they are. I shall vote against
the whole report if I am the only white
man on the floor who does so. I con
ceive that to be my duty, sir, and in spite
of anything to contrary lam willing to go
before the people of South Carolina and
their verdict I will abide by, but cannot
be frightened or ridiculed or driven' from
my position of honesty and gratitude be
cause the members of this convention
think otherwise.
Mr. President, I dare to say not one
tenth of the reformers of this convention
could have been elected If they could
have had this plan and advocated it be
fore the people on the stump. This may
be a guide to you. Ask yourselves as
honest men could you have been elected
if you had, frankly and boldly, told the
people this was your scheme of suffrage.
Mr. Patton in his argument the other
night said it was to be honestly or dis
honestly administered. He was right.
That is the only way you can look at It.
If it Is absolutely administered nine
tenths of the illiterate men in this state
will fall behind the dead line and be dis
franchised, and there is no use for any
intelligent man to deny it. It puts it in
the power of the supervising officer ap
»pointed by the governor of the state to
disfranchise any .man, white or black,
who is not able to interpret every sec
tion of the constitution. When the re
port says “any,” it only means, sir, any
that the supervisor may see fit to pro
pound. If the man who presents him
self belongs to the same political fac
tion that the supervisor does, when par
ty lines are tightly drawn and partisan
spirit runs high. It will matter little
whether he explains or not, he will get
his certificate.
The provision of being able to read
and write is intended for the protection
of that class who are educated. It is
constitutional beyond a doubt. If. you
qualify the IB,000 or 20,000 people in this
state who cannot read and write, under
your understanding clause, honestly or
dishonestly, your supervisor may be en
joined. This question may be carried
before the supreme oourt of the United
States, and will be, and the supreme court
may strike it out as unconstitutional.
Then, sir, where is the promise that not
a single white man should be disquali
fied? It will be too late then, because
this convention will have adjourned. I
do not think the people of this state will
ever have another one in the next 100
years. I am no coat tail swinger, thank
God. I never hang on to my man’s coat
tails and sneexe every time he takes
snuff. I would rather be a man than an
office-holder. The people of Laurens
county thought enough of me to send me
to the legislature in 1886, when Mr. Till- 1
man's highest ambition was only to be
a trustee of Clemson college, until the
people of South Carolina sent me to the
United States senate. I have always
tried to be honest and sincere. I would
not swing to the coat tall of any man to
be president of the United States. When
the people at home took me from planta
tion and elected me, against my will
(the newspaper men can report that if
they wlah), I admitted upon the stump
that I did not thtnk that I could be elect
ed, but that I would make the fight.
There are delegates here who know that
that is the truth' ” I went to the legisla
ture. and my record was consistent
throughout, and I will not now, though I
am a reformer, and I believe that my rec
ord as a reformer will «ay so up with that
of any other man in South Carolina, but
as a reformer and true man who wants
to represent the people, whose votes put
him In office, I prefer political death,
even a natural death, before I would
strike the poor man this cruel blow.
When the convention reaseembled the
grand battle royal, which has been ex
pected for months, was precipitated at
the very outset, and South Carolina’s
two United States senators locked horns,
Tillman coming out the winner so far as
the vote was concerned.
It was a pretty bout and both the sen
ators displayed great earnestness in what
they said. And then followed the long
looked for speech of Senator Tillman on
the suffrage problem. He spoke for over
two hours and a half and presented the
situation In South Carolina in the great
est detail. He never spoke in his life
with .more deliberation and vigor. The
hall was well filled with spectators and
from start to finish he was listened to
with an absorbing interest and at times
a pin's fall would have made a great
noise, so intent were the people present
tn their desire to hear everything that
was said.
Irby precipitated the fight by moving
to take up the report of the educational
committee out of its order proposing the
suffrage matter. explained why.
Tillman denounced this as a flank
movement to keep him from speaking to
night. A roll was demanded on Irby's
motion and It was killed by a vote of 52
to 86. Then Tillman opened. He made
the speech of his life. For an hour and a
half it was a review of grotesque satur
nalia of crime and robbery in this state
under the republican rule. He gave a
moss of facts and figures-which he said
he Intended to go to the world as Justi
fication for what this convention was
about to do. That government, while
largely composed of native and carpet
bag whites, was based on blaok votes
and sustained by them, and the purpose
of thW body was to eliminate that vote as
WED
ing «p our recent
licit your visit to
MORROW &
far as the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments would allow.
When he began to reply to the sensa
tional speech of his fellow United States
senator, delivered this morning, fireworks,
began. Tillman was saying that Irby
had charged that Cteovernor Evans had
fled the state tn a political emergency,
and that on an occasion when existence
in this convention was threatened by
fierce opposition to Its being called Irby
had failed to appear.
Irby started up from his seat and ex
plained that on the occasion referred to
he was detained at home by family rea
sons, and then went charge that at the
crisis of the last campaign Governor
Evans had disappeared beyond the reach
of telegraph or mall and had reappeared
when the fight was over with the story
that he had been to see his girl and that
he was afraid to be called on to make
pledges which he could not perform.
There was another sensational scene
when Tillman turned to Mr. Patton, one
of the leading conservative delegates
from Columbia, and accused him of hav
ing drawn cloak hypocrlcy and Phar
iseetsm around him In attacking the suf
frage plan suggested by the committee
of which Tillman Is chairman. South
Carolina legislative bodies should follow
the precedent of the British parliament
by allowing members to sit batted. Mr.
Patton was just behlpd Tillman with his
hat on his head. He sprang to his feet,
baring his head as he did so and chal
lenging the senator to make good or re
tract his words.
Advancing the within arm's reach of
Senator Tillman. Patton, leveling his fin
ger straight at his antagonist’s face, de
clared that whatever might be said
against him no man could charge him
with hypocraey, and that no man should
do it. Whatever sins had been commit
ted by the white people of the state he
was willing to bear his share of.
Tillman said that last fall Patton had
kept the wires hot telegraphing GdVernor
Evans to remove republican supervisors
of elections In his county for fear he could
not get to the convention If they were al
lowed to hold office.
There was another sensation when Mc
Gowftn, conservative delegate from Ab
bervllle. participant In what Is known as
the Tlllnvan-Barnwell conference last
spring, rose and In effect charged TillmAn
with breach of faith In having repudiated
the action of that conference. Yet anoth
er followed when Ex-Congressman
Smalls, colored delagate from Beaufort,
on a question of personal privilege, made
a sweeping denial of charges against him
made by Tillman and urged the senator
while he was applying the lash to his own
colleagues "for God's soke spare the six
poor negroes who sat there in a miserable
minority and had tried to refrain from
offending anybody.”

THE POLICE COMMISSION
Met Last Night in Special Session—Patrollman
Rogers Resigns.
The police commission met last night
In special session. Their deliberations
were conducted behind closed doors and
newspaper men and visitors were ex
cluded.
The resignation of Mr. Frank Rogers,
who was an esteemed and valued pa
trolman, was accepted with regrets. Mr.
Rogers was popular with his brother of
ficers and h!s services while a member of
the force were appreciated by the com
missioners. Mr. Rogers was tendered a
more lucrative position in North Carolina
and tendered his resignation to accept It.
As a result of the meeting it Is under
stood that the ohtef of police, T. C. Mc
Donald, will instruct his force Saturday
noon to notify all salooS keepers that
the Sunday laws regarding the liquor

heretofore during his administration of
that department. There will be no re
laxation of police vigilance.
The consideration of the police regu
lations, It is said, also came before the
bod>^ and It is thought that the rules
will hereafter be enforced more rigidly.

scratching, and as the withdrawel was
large a first rate programme was almost
completely spoiled. The features of the
card was th4 race for the Champagne
stakes and the result was a foregone con
clusion from the start for Ben Brush.

MANHATTAN DAY.
Mayor Strong’s Call for United Action
Turns Out Well.
New York, Oot. 31.—In response to in
vitations sent out by Mayor Strong1 a
number of citizens gathered in the gov
ernor's room of the city hall this after
noon to form a committee of arrange
ment to prepare for Manhattan day at
the Atlanta exposition on November 25.
Three o'clock was the hour named for.
the assembling, but it was some time
after when Mayor Strong called those
present to order. Among those were Ex
Mayor Thomas Gilroy, Ex-Congressman
Strauss, John D. Crtmmlns, J. Seaver
Page, Gen. Horaoe Porter, Charles R.
Miller, John T. Sill, Ex-Secretary Fair
child, E. S. Plunker, H. S. Setter, MaJ. T.

Wyatt, W. C. Lelor, William H. Ballou,
George E. Armstrong, J. N. Beach, G. C.
Clarke, C. Y. Wimple, J. C. Eames and
C. C. Hayne.
In taking the chair Mayor Strong said
that November 26, which had been set
apart by the managers of the exposition
was evacuation day, a day so dear to the
hearts of New Yorkers. He declared with
a smile that he would go to the exposi
tion if no one else went, although he ex
pected from the way his letter had been
responded to that New York would not
have to blush tof a slim representation.
He remarked that New York had shown
a great lack ofi enterprise at the Philadel
phia exposition in 187G and again at the
World’s fair two years ago. The lesson
taught them had been learned and this
time New York would lead the column.
Its representative^ would storm the ex
position olty. He expressed the belief
that Manhattan day would give an im
petus to the boom that had been started
between the south and north. He said
he thought It would not be a bad idea If
the Seventh regiment and Old Guard
went to Atlanta on Manhattan day.
J Beaver Page, who had been chosen
secretary', then read letters from a num
ber of citizens offering whatever services
they were able to give. Seth Low was
among the number. Ex-Mayor Gilroy
said that he believed that all the gentle
men present would be glad to contribute
to such a laudable object. He said there
was no time to be lost and that every
means should be employed to make the
dgy a success. Ho then moved that an
e^eoutivo oommlttee be at once appoint
ed by Mayor Sitrong, apd that they be
directed to go about the work of raising
funds for taking both the. Old Guard
and the Seventh regiment (f flic commit
tee found the plan td (to so was feasible
The motion was put and carried. Thai!
Ex-Congressman Strauss said that the
motion had been carried without due
consideration and moved that it be re
considered. He said he referred to that
part that the Old Guard and Seventh
regiment should be taken along. The,
motion was reconsidered and the sug
gestion adopted. Mr. Armstrong sug
gested that subscriptions be taktn up,
but this suggestion did not prevail. Then

What Scientists say:
Prof. Arnold of the University of
New York: “I consider that each and
every ingredient of oleomargarine but
ter or butterine is perfectly pure and
wholesome, that the oleomargarine
butter differs in no essential manner
from the butter mado from cream. It
is a groat discovery, a blessing for the
poor, in every way a perfectly pure,
wholesome and palatable article.
Silver Churn Butterine is propared
especially for fine table use. Every de
tail of its manufacture is perfect. Re
cent chemical experiments show that
in nutritive and digestive properties
Silver Churn Butterine is fully equal to
the best creamery butter; while in
keeping quality Silver Churn Butterine
is much superior.
