TILLMAN'S CHANGE OF FRONT. It will be remembered thut at a conference between certain leaders of the Reform and Con servative factions held in Col umbia some months ago, com monly known as the Tillman Barnwell conference, Senator Tillman pledged himself to ad vocate an equal divismn of the delegates to the Constitutional Convention between the two factions, provided the Conser vative leaders who united in the pledge with him would use their influence to secure a gen eral agreement to certain con ditious demanded by the Re formers. It was as the result of this understanding, and of theeffortsmade by "The Forty,” that a good many of the coun ties have taken action looking to an equal division of the dele gates, while a number of others have made arrangements for the accomplishme.it of the same end. In a newspaper interview published on Sunday last, Sena tor Tdlman repudiates the obli gation then entered into, and | says that he feels bound by it no longer. We cannot say that we are surprised, but we are disappointed. To be perfectly frank, it has always been our opinion that Senator Tillman subscribed to the agreement on ly because it suited his own purposes to do so, and that he would stand to it only so long as it continued to suit his pur poses, which we had hoped would be until after the whole matter about the Constitutional Convention had been settled. It is in the failure to realize this hope that we have been disap pointed, and in this onlv. As far as we can unders'and from the published interview with the Senator, the cause for his change of position is based upon the * ay in which some of our Conservative friends re ceived Judge Goff’s decision, the alleged failure of the press of the State to labor tor the suc cess of the "peace and unity” plan, the recent ovation given Gen. Hampton in Charleston, and the seal of approval which the press (theJVetc* and Courier, in particular) placed upon that ovation. The last claim which the State of South Carolina can have to the respect of the rest of the nation will pass away on the day that the Conserva tives refuse to honor Wade Hampton, and we love Charles ton more than ever for the hon ors she has recently paid him. A pioneer in the movement for ‘‘peace and unity,” an earnest laborer in that cause in defiance of the judgment of almost every political friend we had, a laborer who will continue his efforts in that direction as long as there remains the slightest chance of effecting anything, we say un hesitatingly that if the scheme for securing “peace and unity” is inconsistent with the main tenance of the affection and gratitude we feel for Wade Hampton, we will have none of itl Senator Tillman is entirely mistaken in regard to the atti- tu<|e of the newspapers of the State towards the movement for “peace and unity.” A consid erable majority of them have earnestly advocated it. We do not pretend to deny that the Goff decision was made the occasion for rejoicing by some of our friends, but they were not the Conservatives who entered into thi agreement with Senator .Tillman. These last have been faithful to their part of the compact, and stand ready today to do the utmost that can be done in honor to carry out its terms. As they stated in the i Tillman made use of a pretext that was worse; than no pretext at all. It would have been much more frank and straightforward for him to have assigned the real reason for his change of front, namely, that it did not suit him to abide by it any longer. It remains to be seen whether the Reformers are going to be willing to go to the extent of undoing all they have done in the direction of securing "peace and unity” just because one man tells them to undo it, even if that one man be no less a per son than Senator Tillman him self. Our people are tired of strife; the “peace and unity” idea has been rapidly gaining ground, and there’s no telling but that we may be able to se cure it even w ithout the assist ance of him who has so com pletely dominated the State for the past five years. We certain- ly hape that we can; and we do not intend to give up hoping until the very last.
