' * The Abbeville Press and BannerJ BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. C., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1893. ESTABLISHED 184jg ?? Some persons In this State have been ver complimentary to Judge Hudson because < the honesty of his opinion in declaring tli dispensary law unconstitutional. We h?\ not one word to say In oi-Jectlon to thntsent ment, except In so far ns that expression ma Imply that the other Judges are less lymes We believe the other Judges on the Bench ai Just as honest as Judge Hudson. We cannot believe that Judge Wallnc Judge Norton and theotheralstlngnlshed el cult Judges are less honest thnn Judge Hut son. If Judge Hudson thought the law ui conKtltotlonal.it was simply bis rtoty to sa so. Saying so In no way effected his prospec for re-elect Ion. The fact Ip, he w as tnnrkf lor slaughter any way. and he only sustalne Ibis courage l?y doing his duty tome em without cringing to those who would destrc him. Senator Irby. Senator Irby's recent drunkennpss In O lunibia Isa bitter pill for the people of th State, and his conduct on that occasion h( been a source of deep regret. While It Is true, that the Iteiorraeraare muc ?- mortified at the conductor the holder of th highest office among them, yet it is equall true that the Reformers are determined t relax none of tbelr opposition to the Antli They would gladly put good men of the! own way of thinking into office, but the would sooner have the habbiestniHn in thel party in office than to have the best Anli 1 the State occupy official position. For thl reason we believe the Irhy Incident iumlshe no grounds for any belief that the Keforraei are disintegrating. mtrp nrvrmnw MnvPMPNT. (J. till UV/1 1UJ.1 JUV i 1 -?

There wai eclslon reached at the Pontofflce Departmi esierdny and appointments made In I hlrd District at t hree offices, and also se *1 previously, all contrary to the recomnv atlons made by roe as the Representative nat district, and I feel that It Is Incumbt pon me at this stage of the proceedings lake known to the people of my district I ourse which I have pursued In this pat.r< ge matter, that they may benbletodr: salr own conclusions as to wether I hs led to represent their Interests or not In t remises. During the discussion of the Wilson bill je House, some three weeks after I h ?ached Washington, at the indent request iraeof my friends with reearir to postoffl ppolntment* In my district, I called on t ostrnaster General, who received me ve Indly and asked why I had not been arou irller. I stated to him that from the sta tents I had seen In the newspapers,claiml > speak for the administration, I supposed as to be Ignored on account of the reso ons which I Introduced and had passed >e May convention. He staled that such was not the case, tli e said to me In the Investigation which w eld in his office that he did not propose old any one responsible for utterances ma rlorto the nomination of Mr. Cleveland. Alter a free discussion of the views whlct itertalned with regard to the repeal of t nrchaslng clause of the Sherman Act ai le free coinage of silver, he stated to metb ay man who denounced Mr. Cleveland < te floor of the houro wouia put. nimseu 01 de the Democratic party. 1 then and the ated fraDkly to the Postmaster General n " position to Mr. Cleveland before his non atlon and gave him my reasons for ihesanr id also stated that 11 I never got a postoffl spolntment In my district that I wou and by the pledges I had made to my p? le and vote for the free coinage of sliver le ratio of 16 to 1, and against the repeal le Sherman law, unless free coinage w >upled with the repeal. The Postmaster General gave me every e juragement that could be expected, ai Hted In that interview that he had not m ay member of the Hou?e with whom he w ;tter pleased, and that he enjoyed dlscussli lose questions with me. At his Invitation I went back to the depa lent and discussed the matter with Mr. Ma ell, and he said to me that If I would get Iter from 8enator Irby and Senator Butl atlng that they would not oppose my i >mmendatlons as they had made some t f)rsements In the district, that he was reai ) take up the district and proceed wltb t ppolntments. I expressed myself as being satisfied wl lat requirement and went to Senator Irh; [flee and he drew up the letter which I be ubllsh. After he signed it, I went to Senal Otter's office and stated to him the requi lade by Mr. Maxwell, and asked If he vi llllng to sign the letter. He read It a ithout making any reply signed It a anded It to me. The following is a copy ie letter: be Hon. Fourth Assistant Postmaster Ger ral, Washington. D. C.

I stated to my colleague, Dr. Strait, wh lr Maxwell had required of me, and sugge 1 that he go and get a similar letter frc enators Irby and Butler. He went to Set >r Butler, and Senator Butler stated to h wt George Johnstone hud JuRt been in I ffice cursing and damning about his slgul lat letter, and that he had written a letter [r.

After reflecting on natter. I determined to have nothing to vlth the IpostofUce appointments except he Blaok District, and then only when luested. The Postmaster General has p 10 little heed to my suggestions I have mi n regard to such matters that I have thou tbe6t to leave the responsibility with h where It be longs, so far as I am concerned I regret the enclosed copy did not reach j ?arlier, as It would have obviated the net ilty of your note.

Taking Senator Butler's letter to mean t lie would have nothing further to do with postofttce appointments, I took the letters Mr. Maxwell and claimed that I had o< plied with the request whioh he had mi lie read the letters, after which he sale was nothing but an underling and that I better go and see Mr. Blssell. I went to Mr. Blssell's olHce, and.after n ing a statement to him with regard to w Mr. Maxwell had requested and what I done, he asked me to leave the lettors \ him and call on him again ou the Satui following, I did as he requested, and as I entered ofllce there were several members of House who had preceded me, He asked tl to excuse him, and called me to his chair stated that lie had not had time to exar the letters, und would do go on Sunday, asked mo to call on the Monday following I went to his office Hie following Mon He stated that lie would like to discuss mafter freely with me, and repented the s ment that he did not propose to hold m< sponsible for anything I had done or prior to the nomination, but that he had I informed thai I made a speech in my dis Just before I came to Washington In wbli stated that the resolutions I Introduce the May convention were being verified that 1 denounced Mr. Mr. Cleveland. < I admitted Hie lact. and said to him th like most of men, had some prirjo in my diotlons being fulfilled, and tliat J thoui could convince him thai whai I said In t resolutions was true with regard to Mr.C land, and asked him it 1 were to eudo Republican or third party man for app< ment in my district, if he would regard n a Democrat, He said he would not.

' ing the fact that my constituents have a i " to know my position relative to tbesi S pointments, and having been charged rrequenllng the Postofflce Department ??* begging for patronage, I state tbat in the Interview with Mr. Blssell I made it plal J " hint that if he preferred to recognize anj z* else than myself in ? aklng recommf lions for the appointments from the 1 ,h District, that I did not want blm to con me as standing in the wny.as I would no riflce my principles for the appointmi ' " that my people were entitled toachauj ' ? these posto(flees. He held out every inducement, as the going statement will show, and I feel nov "Ji intentionally misled me. I am also of oughly satisfied from what I have seen li departments and from the treatment I received and statements mnde by men on the floor of the House that this patro 1f> question has been,and Is now being, belt menace for the purpose of Influencing r "t" bers in voting the views ol the admin I tion, and also to aid in the eleotion of r J" bers to the next Houfce In full sympathy the same.
