PHASES OF OUR POLITICS.' THAD. E. HORTON WRITES OF CUR POLITICAL SITUATION. A Cforgia .TcoriJcili'st's luipri -tioa < f >>( Administrating ? Political Chit Clmt that May or May Not Coajf to l*a>s. Columbia, 8. C. May 10.?outwardly the political situation in this State is quiet, but one does not need to go very far belo?v the surface to find the same elements of difcord that made the last campaign the hottest and bitterest ever known. The lines between the Tillmanites and the anti-Tillmanites are as clearly drawn as they ever were. There has been no burying of the hatchet, no making up of old quarrels since the new administration came in. The policy of the administration does not seem"to have been cast with any view to winning friends from the opposition. | and with the exception ot' a lew indi- j YJLUUCUC} IV lO vuv*v *-?w | been little change in the raDks of the two factions since last summer's hoti fight. In the endeavor to fiud how Gov. Tillman's administration is pleasing the people, I have been met with just this state of affairs. The men who put Tillman in the gubernatorial chair are disposed to yield unquestioning support to his administration. The men who fouzht to keep him out of that chair are inclined, as a rule, lo criticize his actions very closely and to freely impugn his motives. The vinegar and gall of the last campaign are too fresh m memory to permit of perfectly unbiased judgment on either side. There are, of course, many exceptions. A considerable element of" the opposition to Tillman are uisposea to hold olT and give him a chance to show what * J ) l iv, a. ^ r ,* 11 i f- -fi\v ! Ee Caii UU, ituuniiit; u?;.u iuu muu ivi his good deeds and excusing what seem to be errors rather of judgment than of heart. I think I find here, however, a pretty general admission that the Tillman administration has net differed radically i cne way or the other from preceding administrations. It has been a clean sweep. About all the "ins" are outs, certainly, 2nd as many "out" are in as could get there. 13ut the State is Getting along remarkably well. There has | teen no financial upheaval, in fact South Carolina was never more pros perous. Its industrial development has not leen checked one iota, and the inflow of capital and new population is increasing. None of the "tales ol' woe," sung so lugubriously by uie extreme opponents of Tiilman have been realized. Xo sensible man expected that they would be. Only a return to carpet bag rule would check the State's material re-awakening. "What of the next campaign?*' It is a long way off yet, but it is being discussed. When T asked Gov. Tiilman about it he said it was too far cif to talk about it now. "It will be a bitter light, will it not V" I queried. "it couldn't be bitterer than the last," he said, w ith a laugh. Since the defeat of Wade Hampton for the Senate there has been a feeling throughout the State that the next campaign would largely turn on that incident, and that eitner Gen. Hampton himself or some man representing mm would be put forward as the anti-administration candidate for the gubernatorial nomination. There is hardiy a doubt, according to my best information, that that is exactly what will be done. The situation may change completely before 1892, but unless it does it is more than likely that if Hampton himself does not oppose Tillman, the man who does will be one whose election could be considered a vindication of Hampton. This is taking it for granted, as everybody?Tillmanites and anti's?is doing, that Tillman will be a candidate for reelection. Of this there can be hardly a doubt, l asked the Governor if he would run again, and he. of course, de-! dined to say either "yes" or "no," but the logic of the situation makes it almost certain lie will. The State officials decline to talk about the next campaign for publication, but 1 gather from conversations with various administration leaders that they look for last year's struggle to be repeated in the corning campaign, with perhaps added heat and bitterness, and that they expect the fight to be between Tillman and Ilamptoa. Jsairf snrnminent. Tillmanife to me: "I can teli you now that the campaign in this State next year will be between Tillman and the Alliance principles on the one hand and Ilampton and Cleveland on the other. I other words, the Farmers' Movement will light to re-elect Tillman or Tillman's candidate, and to send a delegation to the national convention pledged to support no candidate who opposes free silver, while the opposition will battle to avenge Hampton's defeat for the Senate and to capture the delegation for Cleveland.,' The seme speaker pointed to the re-! cent Ildaopton ovation at Augusta on Memorial Day, and the coming Columbia Centennial, at which Gen. Hampton will be the chief figure, as steps in a carefuilv prepared programme to arouse the old soldier sentiment and the '7G fever ia preparation for the next campaign. This miv be taken as the Tillmanite horoscope." What 1 can learn from tiie other side leads me to believe that it is in part a mistaken one. There's no evidence that the demon- > strations in favor of Gen. Hampton are the result of any political plan. They arr certainly to be attributed in a large ir\v? Kv tho T* 1 Jl liiCUdUlf, IV IliO XtJtUOiVii K/J vuw JL-** j manite Legislature, but that they have any political significance for the future j seems more than doubtful. There is at present no organization of the opposition nor any definite nucleus for one, and 1 do net think that any plan of campaign has even been formulated, much less put in operation. Gen. Hampton's friends are divided as to the wisdom or expediency of calling on him to endure the strain of a heated campaign. Many of them consider that the humiliation of a defeat under the circumstances would be too great to take any risks on, and favor putting forward a candidate who would represent the principles Gen. Hampton represets and whose election would amount to Hampton's vindication. A prospective element of bitterness in the coming campaign will be the attitude of the party in power to the Haskellites. A gentleman high up in administration councils tells me that it is by no j means certain that the men who voted j lor Ilaskeli iu the las. campaign win be allowed to participate in lite party councils or vote in the primaries next year. "They have left the Democratic party of their own frre will," he says, "and I don't see how they can expect to vote in a Democratic primary. Certainly, unless they give very definite and satisfactory assurance that they will support the nominee, they should not be allowed to take part in the primaries." If this position :s adher?d to, it may oe expected to miuse uuu u?e wuiuiy contesf a heat and acrimoniousness exceeding that of the last campaign. The recent interuiews with Gov. Tillman and Col. Talbert, the State Alliance lecturer and superintendent of the penitentiary, given in the Journal, hare directed attention to the diverging views of these two leaders in ttie reform movement. This difference is interesting, as seeminsr to presage a pretty tight in the not far'distant iiitum It is recaUed that Gov. Tillman op-1 posed the sub-treasury bill a:.d the usv of the "yard stick." Col. Taibert i? tlat- { flooted for the bill ana believes every i Allianceman should be measured by it j as a test. The inference is that Co v.! | Tillcjau tioi.-s not measure up to Coi. | I Taibert's kUiil oi a it yal Aliianct-man.

V.-., ?>iaj ? tii mccv i days ol' trial and tribulation at tbe treasury department-, when Secretary Foster is turning from one desperate j; expedient to another to get cash in j hand to mei't the quarterly pension : payment, it is as well to remember that I one-third of those payments so hard to I; meet are Irauds, robberies and svvin- j; uiro. The total amount of the pension pay- , meats at the coming quarter will be 630.000,000 and more. Not less than , 810,000,000 of that amount will go to persons who have no more right to it . than they have to private ownership in ; the capital at Washington. ' If there were no pension f rauds there would now be no treasury deficit. If the pension department was looked i alter with one-tenth part the care exer- i cised over the other departments of gov- : eminent there would he no anxious scrambling in the treasury for sub- , sidiary com aud other funds to pay cur- , rent expenses with. |' Thus'does the course of events bring home The Ilerald's admonitions on this subject. 1 At the beginning of the last session . of congress it pointed out precisely this result, that the treasury would oepractically empty within six months unless : some of the pension legislation should be repealed or the pension frauds removed from the pay lists. "Word l'or word what The Herald said , then has comt true. With decreased revenues, increased expenditures ana the prcspect or a deficit in the treasury at an early day the question is whether it is good sense to keep on pouring out millions every year to men who have no right to them. ; Look at some sample cases of the way this waste through 200.000 spigots goes on. Take the case of Jesse L. Talman, holder of pension certificate Xo. 130,205, formerly a member of Compauy II, Fifth Indiana cavalry. This man is now drawing a pension of $30 a month?:5360 a year. Suppose we follow his case | from point to point as shown on the papers on file in the pension bureau and see how easy it is to get a pension without deserving one. ? ' * - - - * /I ? *W/\ l'ai ill an was uiseuargru uum wc army on September 15 th, 1865, and put in a claim fur a pension on the ground of "disability"?wound in the right ; heel. This claim was investigated, and on Apr.1 7th, 1870, rejected as having no merit. ( Taiman promptly put in another claim, and ou June"16tb, 1874, the case was reopened. He was then granted a pension of S5 a month, to dat.e from his discharge from the army. ' In May, 1870, on the strength of an otner application. cms was iuucmcu to S8 a month, to date from April 27, 1876. With this the modest Talman seems i to have been content until November, ; 1885. lie then came up with an application for another increase, which was rejected op November G. The follow- , ing April he was on hand again with ' still another application, which was re- . jected April 29. : Thereupon Talman tried a fresh 1 tack. On Jul}'13, 18S6, behold him at ] the doors of the pension bureau again ' applying for an increase on the same ] old ground and two new ones?diseases i < of the heart and the kidneys. |j This application, having been investi- ] gated, came up for adjudication on ( August 13,1887, when the claim on ac- , count ot disease of heart and kidneys , was rejected on the ground tbat "ho ' disability from disease of the heart and kidneys has existed since date of tiling 1 claim." But, ha^iDg refused that part of the ; application, the board, to even things 1 up, I suppose, for there appears to have 1 been no other ground, granted the part < of the application based upon the j wound in the heel and lixed the pension , at $24 a month from June 1,1887. , Mr. Talman's heel was now earning more than some persons can earn with both hands, and was doing quite well thank you. : Nevertheless he seems to have thought it might do a little better. On February 11, 1888, not a year after his last increase, he came down upon the bureau with his seventh application, 1 first and last, and this time he wanted, 1 poor man, both increase and rerating. ] This time the application slept until f June 11, 1889. Then, as everybody j was getting pensions, reratings, in- , creases and anything else he wanted, , Mr. Talmxn visited the pension bureau ' in person and wanted to know where , was his share of the boodle. So the commissioner of pensions obliged him 5 i*?. din in tVio raw U y Wi I Li U k; Via 1/4.1 04X ?/ iu biiv ^ "This claimant is now here and de- k sires action on his claim for rerating. 1 Will you please see that case is briefed i at once and submitted?" < It was not only "briefed," Mr. Commissioner, but it went to the board of f review the same day. Two days later f the application for increase was grant- , eri, an?l Talman's pension was made 830 j a month, with the following reratings: j From date of discharge to March. 1873, 88 a month; from March, 1873. to November 17,1886,812 a month; from Xo-! \ vembcr 17,1886,830 a month. rn L : ~ ^A?v>fAr?foiKla ^ nn I ( XIUS UltJUIlO SULUC wiuiunauic imudreds in a lump for back money under 1 the rerating. ( So much for Mr. Talman's wounded 1 heel. Now, there is not the slightest doubt i in the world that Mr. Talman was \ never entitled to any pension at all, for ; the fact is on otlicial record. On February 19,1869, the surgeon appointed to examine him reported that "the wound is on the insirieof the heel; the disability is not permanent." ' On March 11.1870, another surgeon ' after another examination reported: 1 "There is no disability of any kind. , There is a good motion of the foot and claimant can walk as well as he ever could. lie is a stout man and is not in- ( capacitated from manual labor. lie is ' entitled to no rating."
