electors of the people, probably by as many as you received, and I Indulge the presumption that the conduct of my office, for the two years in which I have held it, has been indorsed by the majority of the people of South Carolina, and that they will hold me reannnnihle for the DroDer conduct of my office. I am their servant. I cerlainly am not the servant of the governor of the state, whoever he may be. For nearly fifty years the assistant in the office of the attorney general? one time designated as clerk?now as assistant attorney general, has been considered a personal and confidential appointment?the attorney general being entirely responsible for everything occurring in his office. The legal, personal and other qualifications of such assistant is a matter entirely that has heretofore, under all conditions and changes, been considered to be the peculiar affair of the attorney general in making his selection. Mr. Dominick has been my assistant for nearly the entire period that I have been attorney general. The people in electing me. as I have a right to presume, indorsed him also as an official in my office and certainly I heard throughout the entire campaign no objection made to him. You now practically request me to surrender the right and the duty of selecting such assistant, given me by the general assembly, and to restrict It to such person as may be In "full sympathy with my (your) policies." Admitting for a moment this claim of yours, no office in any department, judicial, legislative or otherwise, in whom the legislature have vested the right of appointment of assistants, could hold office save by your grace and by your command. For example, the secretary of state, comptroller and the state treasurer and state boards which could be mentioned. As stated above, the express term of the statute provides tnat i snau render advice to the different officers of the state and take appropriate action in the premises. I should not have considered it too much of an encroachment on my rights if. on account of personal feelings which you may have towards Mr. Dominick, you had requested that all communications between you and myself should be taken up by me individually, and that Mr. Dominick should not be brought into contact with your office, but the H slightest reflection upon your part, it H seems to me, would show you that the terms of your letter are doing Mr. w Dominick a personal injury and making yourself the manager of my office. I do not recall any statute which fixes a definite period or term of office of the assistant, but leaves the attorney general in position, if there be proper objection made or if he so desires, to ask at any time for the resignation of his assistant, nor would I hesitate a moment, if proper charges were lodged by you or any other officer that would justify my asking for his resignation, to do so. and have some one else appointed, but upon such a statement?that he is not in sympathy with your "policies.'' I can not and will not undertake to act. It is too indefinite, too unfair and unjust for me to treat any one, let alone a man who has been faithful in his work and who, I am glad to say, has met with the approval and good opinion of the judiciary of the state and who, I do not believe, can be called incom petent or who would fall below the average of his predecessors. Besides, the solicitors of the state are a part of my department and act under my instructions, and, I believe, in some cases under yours directly.' They are elected by the people of their several circuits. I do not say, or undertake to say, that these gentlemen would not fulfill the duties of their offices and respond to any call that you might make upon them or act in full co-operation with me. The point of your attack, however, seems only to be directed against an assistant in my office, who has no initiative whatever and who is solely responsible to me, whose duties can be circumscribed or limited by me or whose tenure of office can be terminated at any time by me. I am sure, upon reflection, that you will find no precedent for the demand you make upon me, historically or politically. With regard to the threat that you make of bringing the matter to the attention of the legislature?why, you must take whatever course you see fit about the matter; but I must suggest to you that this method of expression and tone of communication is not pleasant and is not characteristic of proper official communications. I have endeavored, as stated, to divest myself of any feeling on this subject in making reply to you. I still desire to serve in the best way I can the people who have done me the honor to elect me to the office of attorney general. I shall not at any one's suggestion lay down those duties volun tarily, but will enaeavor 10 mtunuuii the rights of my office and to perform its duties. Please distinctly understand that I am. as such attorney general, ready to confer with you and to communicate with you upon any question relating to my office and the performance of its duties as the law defines. I have only one request to make of you. which I have no doubt you will gladly grant, should you communicate with the general assembly upon the subject matter of your letter, be kind enough to incorporate a copy of your letter to me and my reply thereto. I am, Very respectfully, (Signed) Thomas H. Peeples, Attorney General. January 22. Manning to Peeples. Hon. Thomas H. Peeples, Attorney General, Columbia, S. C. Dear Sir: I have your letter of January 22. My? letter to you of the 21st inst., relating to the appointment of the assistant attorney general, was not intended to be, and was not, a demand upon you, nor was it an attempt on my part to dictate whom you should appoint as your assistant. My letter was prompted and suggested by the conversation which you and I have had upon this subject, in which you assured me that you would make no appointment to that office without a conference with me, and would appoint no one who would be embarrassing to me, and, lastly, that it was your desire to annoint some one who would be in harmony with my administration. I have never questioned your legal right to appoint whom you please as your assistant, but in view of what had heretofore passed between us, I was justified in assuming that you would make no appointment that would embarrass me in my communications and Intercourse with your office. In your letter of the 22nd you make statements in reference to Mr. Dominick which are in direct conflict with those made by you in the conversations which you have had with me in regard to the appointment of your assistant. In Justice to myself I will be obliged to make a public statement of all the facts, should occasion require. Very respectfully, (Signed) Richard I. Manning. January 28. Governor. Peeples to Manning. H,m Itiohard I. Manning'. Governor of South Carolina, Columbia, S. C. Dear Sir: I am in receipt of yours of the 28th inst. The position I have taken in the several conversations had with you at your request in connection with the appointment of the assistant attorney general was that Mr. Dominick was my first consideration in this appointment, and that in the event of his refusal to accept the appointment or of a vacancy, I would be glad to confer with you as to the appointment. I assured you at the time that my office would work in hearty co-operation with yours, regardless of whom the assistant attorney general may be. I still stand ready and willing as the legal adviser of the officers of the state and the head of this department to serve you as the chief executive of the state and to perform such duties as are imposed upon me by the constitution and laws of this state in harmony with all deoartments of the state. I hive not the slightest objection to the facts in connection with this mater being made public. I am, very respectfully. (Signed) Thos. H. Peeples, January 28. Attorney General. Manning to Peeples. Hon. Thomas H. Peeples, Attorney General. State House, Columbia, S. C. Dear Sir: In view of your present position in reference to your appointment of the assistant attorney general, I feel that the public should know all the facts In connection with this matter. It is my purpose during my term in office to keep the people of the state fully advised regarding the conduct of affairs in my office, and with that end in view, I am giving out this statement. No thought of who would be your assistant, or, in fact, of anything connected with your office had entered my mind, until you yourself voluntarily approached me after the Anderson meeting during the campaign last summer and stated that you thought that I would be elected; and that if I was elected and you were reelected, that you intended to act in entire harmony with me and that your office would do all in its power to further the success of my administration. I was surprised and pleased at this evidence of Interest on your part and thanked you warmly for it, but had no further conversation with you about the matter until I had received the nomination in the second primary. At that time you had already been nominated for re-election in the first primary. When my nomination was assured, recalling your voluntary statement at Anderson, I phoned you, asking you to meet me at the office of Mr. Christie Benet in Columbia. This you promptly did, coming to his office as soon as 1 telephoned you. In Mr. Benett's presence I called to your attention the conversation had after the Anderson meeting and you reiterated what you had stated before, and you then to my surprise, offered to let me name the assistant attorney general. This I flatly declined, stating that I had no desire to do so. You then stated that you wobld appoint no one who was not in harmony with me in the platform on which I was elected and that you would submit to me names of the men whom you were considering and would appoint no one who was objectionable to me. You then stated C TV TVvminlnl/ nrni ilH r?nt Ko Uiai 1h1. x' . x/. xrvuuuivn tt vu>v* *wv w your assistant again; that you had considered Mr. M. P. DeBruhl, but thought his health was such that you had other names under advisement and would confer with me again in regard to the appointment. I heard nothing further from you, but on the morning of my inauguration 1 phoned you asking for an appointment with you for 6 o'clock that afternoon in my room at the Jerome hotel. At the outset of my administration I was in urgent need of legal advice on a number of matters, including the pending asylum investigation, the order to disband the militia and other questions. You came to my room at the Jerome hotel at 5 o'clock that afternoon and again discussed the matter with me in the presence of Mr. Benet, who had been present at the former conversation. At that time you stated to us that to your great embarrassment you were not able to get Mr. Domlnick to resign; that you had asked him to resign last summer and again since the campaign; that you had had mutual friends to go to him and state that he was embarrassing you and your conduct of the office by insisting on retaining his position as your assistant; that you have not been able to mgke him consent to give up the office, although you still hoped that he would do so. You stated that Mr. Dominick's work was not satisfactory; that he had often been absent from the office without your consent or even knowledge; that he had on occasions left the office on Friday morning and stayed away until Tuesday night! that this was not satisfactory to you nor to the conduct of the business of the office, but that you were powerless in the matter. You stated that when the campaign began last summer you had gone to him and asked for his resignation on the ground that you were in the campaign yourself, that he was a candidate for congress and that inasmuch as you had to make the state tour with the campaign party, the office of the attorney general would be closed unless your assistant was there; that he had declined to resign, which had on used vnn ereat embarrassment and had forced y.ou to leave the state campaign party a number of times to attend to matters in the office which absolutely required attention. I have never intimated to you or to any one else that I wanted you to appoint any particular man, nor do I now do so. You have an absolute right, legal and otherwise, to appoint whom you please; but in view of the voluntary statements and assurances you had made me, I was glad to discuss the appointment with you; while in view of the appointment of Mr. Dominick, I have a right to protest, not because of any personal feeling against him, but upon the grounds that Mr. Dominick, having been the law partner of the former governor, his campaign manager and his close confidant and partisan, political and otherwise, would be opposed to the carrying out of the changes in our government which th sople by their vote, last August, ? ed done. In considering appointn s distinction must be made betwt. a those offices where the duties are of an administrative character and those where the duties are advisory. In the one case, differences as to political association are not especially important; in the other, lack of sympathy and conviction necessarily prohibits co-operation I am disappointed that you do not seem to realize the absolute necessity of every branch of the government co-operating fully with complete confidence. in order to put into effect the expressed mandates of the people. In frankness, I can but feel that you could not be uninfluenced by the opinion and association of Mr. Dominick in matters submitted to your office when you have admitted to me that you had asked him to resign, but were not able to make him do so. I am giving out the correspondence for publication. Yours truly, (Signed) Richard I. Manning. February 4. SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS ?
