Senator Tillman made the following state merit in reference to the pending senatorial contest in the State: ' Personally, the relations between Irhv and myself are friend ly. at least they are not so strain oil as they were at one tiule, but that fact lias no significance what ever, so far as the senatorial cam paign in the State is concerned. We wen; brought together hy a mutual friend a year or *o iigo without any possible reference to present or luture conditions." Speaking of his alleged connection with the lrby Kvuns combination to defeat McLaurin, lie said: '-While in Washington some time ago Kvuus talked with me about his candidacy lor the SeiiJiti" *kiiiI t iilt'ii.'iwl i ...... iiMiinuu linn it :m? 1 the announcement of hi* candidacy in the newspapers was a surprise to ine, ami I was even more surprised to see that Irby and Kvans were running together ?surprised because they had United each other so mercilessly in the past." Now,'' lie added, "I want it j understood that lam taking no part in the contest. I will not be drawn into it, and any statement to the contrary is sbsolutely false. The people must decide it lor themselves." About the possible result he had no opinion to oxpress. Ho will remain here until congress adjourns unless called home by the illness of Mrs. Tillman.
