' w l'1 LETTER FROM SE READY TO GIVE AN STEWi Wants to Know if Private C tleman to Speak Withoi Upon Them?The Big Ambitious Boss Has Ui He is the Whole Thingis not a Democrat, but W cratic Primary. Bennettsville May 80?Senator McLaurlc today isnued the following address: To My Fellow Citizens : The address of Senator Tillman to you ren dered it necessary that I should say nome thing In explanation of tny motives and ac tions. I sincerely regret*lhat you are to bi subjected to the expense and excitement of i senatorial primaiy this year, but I feel that J am not. responsible. Had It not been for Senator Tillman's intrusion upon theGaffaey meeting there would have been no necessity for It. A joint, debate was precipitated by him contrary to my wishes and of the gen tlemen who invited me. He forced hlmsel upou the meeting by his own admission. N< other honorable course was left to me, but t< accept his proposition or lay myself open to the charge of cowardice. It 1b too late now t< consider whether it was wise or unwise ant the people must judge between us. I desiri to announce my candidacy in opposition to the senior senator for the i?" -xpired lorn term, and will dtscu?s with hir>. in a fair anc reputable manner the uatlonal issues of th< day, and leave it to you to judge who can tb< you In the United States senate. In 1S97 ] was elected to the senate as a Democrat and ] am still a Democrat. In everything I have Raid and done I hav< had the good of my people at beart, to there I am ready to render an account of my stew ardsblp, but not to the senior senator; per baps lu this lies my cblef sin. In my recent speech at Greenville I gav? the people the reHt-oti for ir.y official action since 1SSVJ. It Ik useless for me to relterah what I shiiI lu tbal. speech, as It has been ex< uuslveiy published aud I presume generally read. Were It Dot for cuarges made In the nd dress of the senior senator. It would be unnecessary for ine to say more. But I 'Jinnol allow blrn to assail me and my Democracy without saylne something In my vindication. He charges that, after the adjournment o congress In March last, with tbe aid of my friends, 1 commenced Id the State an active propaganda of my new dootrines, "which art claimed totoe Democratic but are nothing but Republicanism in disguise." He arrogates tr himself tbe power todecle for tbe people as tc the rlgbteousoess of my course and views and Is not willing for them to bear aDd judge for themselves. His Indecent intrusion upon the Gaflney meeting Illustrates his method* of "bossism" and his desire to "rule or ruin.' After my return home in April last I recelv York, Cherokee, Newberry and Spartanburg counties to address the people on the nationMi issues of the day. Ah their public servant I could not disregard their Imperative calls, and I accepted tbe Invitations. Had 1 noi done so, my political opponent would hart charged that I could not meet my constituents face to face and explain my political action. It was not my purpose in accepting these invitations to Inaugurate my campaign lor re-election more than a year in advance of tbe primary, but to attempt to enlighten the people and remove false Impressions produced upon tbe public mind by the senior senator and his sympathizers. I had been persistently maligned and misrepresented nnd the only means afforded me for my vindication was to get tbe ear ofthe people. Thin was my only object in making speeches where I was invited to go, and bad It not been for these Invitations I should have remained silent. Have we reached the point where a number of private citizens cannot Invite one of their representatives to address them, without including the senior senator or first obtaining his permission? Tbe senior senator, it seems, willed that I should not oe heard at that time and determined tbat 1 should wait for bis bidding to go before tbe people. Tbe senator also charges that I am a Republican and was organlziuK a Republican party here. If he believed thin charge, why did be consent to run wltb me in a Democratic primary ? I denounce the charge as an Infamous falsehood and tbe senior senator knows what he says Is untrue. In bis recklessness, the senior senator further charges tbat the dispensing of tbe public ? r.* r/,n?rtii hill llBOtl nlUepH lit. IT) V clftinnRHl and "unlimited money" ta furnished me by the Republicans to aid Id tbe scheme of tbe organization of a Dew party. I denounce this as a malicious falsehood. Ia my (rreeavllle speech 1 explained why I bad been consulted about tbe federal patronage and at tialfuey I denouDced, In his presence, both of these charges as wilfully false, and yet be relteratee them Id bis address. Ills purpose Id repeating wbat be knows to be slanders must be evident to all. The senior senator undertakes In his addresses to throw the whole responsibility ol ibe present situation In tbe State upon roe After deflulug my Democracy and branding me as a traitor In the party, he meekly sayn tbat he and his Democracy were assailed by me, apd it was Incumbent npon him to crush me and my influence In this State. The senior sen&ior has undertaken a herculean task, lor "truth crushed to earth will rise again." The senator forgets tbat he insidiously and maliciously assailed me last summer, when I was unable to defend myself, and alter my Charlotte speech, In an Interview, made false and slanderous charges against me. I did in my Cbxrlotte and Greenville speeches criticise bis Popullstic Democracy, and 1 have nothing to retract, He impugns tbe motives of others, but when a reply is made lite cries nut that he lias been attacked In an unjustifiable manner. Tbe people shall judge of our Democracy aud not the senior senator. It Is evident tbat tbe senior senator fears tbat be cannot defeat me on a fair field with no favors. Kise why Is he assailing me in his address and threatening to put out other candidates? Wbat was said on the stand at Gaflney and tbe correspondence between us will convince any fair-minded man mat our resignation was with the understanding that the race was to be between us only and tbe campaign was uot to take place until tbe fall. Tbe senior senator said on tbe stand that he would unite with me In a letter to Uov. M<\Sween?y requesting him to withhold action uutu a decision Uy llie primary. The address Is characteristicai of tbe man aud bis political methods, lie Is addicted to making reckless and falsn charges against others whicti he never substantiates. An honest, man Is always chary In charging others with dishonesty. The thief often cries "Stop thief." lie is an ambitious bo?s and habitual dlsturberof the political peace and harmony of South Carolina. Lust summer, for the sake of peace he was given no opposition, and as soon as the doors were closed and m11 entries barred, he made a slanderous attack upon tbe Klb>e and tbe ministry of this State. Fellow Citizens there will never be anything like unity or quietude among o"r people until he Is relegated to private life. His lncendl iry appeals to class hatred and prejudice, such as he made at (ialfney tothelactory operatives,and bis dictatorial spirit and utterances, will keep up dimensions, divisions and discord In the Htate. With tbe aid of the people I will make a herioc eirort during this campaign to break down "boHslsin" with Its train of political evils and 1 Invite all good citizens to assist me to Inaugurate an era of free thought, free speech and independence of action ou the part of the people of Houih Carolina. The senior senator. In the quietude of a farmer's llle In K?i?fetleld county, could he viewed as a pltchlorkl-as pigmy and a blessing to the State.

He employed bis capital In be purchase or good for a jewelry store, and n a home. When bis capital increased be ond the demands of the' town, he sought a ew borne to tbe regret of many friends.
