Similar communications bave been sent me from tbe County Alliances of Pickens a k of Newberry, and I shall furnish this letter / tbe Cotton Plant as an answer to all: ) Tbe effort appears to be made to link 5 Donaldson as a citizen wltb Mr. Donaldson ) president of tbe Alliance, and 1 premise n ) answer by saying tbat the Alliance bas noi i ing to do wltb It, either directly or indirect > except In no far as I feel justified in prevei ) ing its further betrayal. To answer yo questions categorically, 1 asked Mr. Cle< ) land not to appoint Mr. Donaldson to offli > My reasons were these?and again th k have no reference to Mr. Donaldson'b prlvs > charaoter, but to bis public acts, and I d ) claim any feeling of personal resentment desire to Injure him. ) Last spring when delegates were elected ) the May State Convention, Mr. Donalda k was repudiated by tbe Democracy of Gee > vllle, and be failed to be elected a delega ) either to his county convention or to tl State convention. He appealed ) bis friends In other parts ot the St? ) to help him retrieve his failing polltl k al fortune, and a small caucus of leadlDgAI ' ancemen from other counties went to woi ) and bad him elected a member of the ni lonal committee. It was presumed'by t ) convention, at least, that be was iu fullsyi > patby Willi its opposition to Mr. Clevelan k and certainly he never said anything to u ' deceive the men who voted for him. Y< ) are familiar with the Instructions. We n only voted against Mr. Cleveland, but work > against hlui, with two exceptions. Jud ) tben our surprise on reaching Chicago to s , Mr. Donaldson in open affiliation with t ' Cleveland leaders, striving with might ai ) main to uefeat the purpose of the oonventU which bad elected bim on the national coi ralttee. Again, when the State Alliance met shot ly afterwards, to my surprise I saw him pre ldent of the State Alliance. When I ask an explanation I was told it was the on possible way to defeat the candidacy of t avowed "Third party man" and that Mr. Do aldson bad pledged himself not to seek . ar office, but to devote his energies to bnlldli up the Alliance. I was not surprised, ho ever, wben two weeks later he entered tl field as candidate for State Henutor fro Greenville, feeling, I suppose, that the doub endorsement of the Stale convention in -M( Hnd the State Alliance in July would re! 1 state him at bora<'. Bat the people of Gree I vllle were true to themselves and he was n elected. > It will thus be seen that Mr. Donalds* 1 played false with the May convection by h action at Chicago, and broke bis pledge tbe leading Alllancemen not to seen c flee. 1 Now, in addition to that, when I remit l you that Mr. Donaldson, as Senator, was tl ' means of incorporating In the railroad bl In '91 the two objectlonal features whU ~ caused me to veto li, you cannot be surprlst 5I at my action. It was upon bis motion, i 5} tbe suggestion, as I was told ol Bunch McBc 31 that the right of appeal to the courts was pi In the bill. He also championed that leatu * of the bill which kept the election of Ra road Commissioner In the bands of tbe Ge J" eral Assembly, contrary to the '*March pla r- form," thus showing bis willingness to sill the will of the people. All these things ta * en together are sufficient, as I take It, to wa rant my opposing his appointment us repi sentatlve of the "Reform party" or of tbe A _ liance. Self-interest rather than patronis appears to have governed his actions, and < the Alllancejbas been sidetracked In near every other Slate by self-seekers and b been seriously Injured In this State from tl saroe cause, I could not conscientiously stai silent without protesting against bis. belt rewarded for treachery to the people and tl Alliance. f Regretting tbe necessity which has forct l' a rehearsal of these undisputed facts, wbl< of themselves ought to have prevented M Donaldson's elevation to tbe position I bolls, I will submit to the verdict of tbe B formers and Alllancemen of the Slate as the wisdom and propriety of my action.
