Mr. Lyon Says Til Trying i Columbia, April 7.?The first officia protest against the address of Senatoi i Tillman has been made by Mr. Frasei Lyon, of the investigating committee The letter is addressed to an attorney , of Columbia, who is interested in the case, and through whom a copy secured only with tbe understanding that nis name was uot divulged. It is e rather lively letter and reads : "Abbeville, S. C., April 3, 1906. "Your two letters of recent aate itare received by me upon my return home yesterday after an absence of about two weeks. You will, therefore, understand why you have not had an earlier reply. "While it is true that I do not think there is any good reason for withholding payment of the claim of the Cook and Bernheimer company, of New York, still, as I have said heretofore, I will not give my consent to the pay* ment of this or any other dispensary claim now held up until the matter ol such payment is discussed at a public session of our committee. "I feel sure that you will appreciate my position In this matter especially -'""o rwiihiiPAtirin or Senator Till man's address to the people of South Carolina, in which he says, 'Is there not plenty of opportunity for more graft and secret transactions in regard to the settlement of these accounts? Will not the legislative committee be suspected of corruption if it does not get in the middle of the road and stay there, that is, stand by the law, obey it itseJf and require others to do so ? Why so much delay ?' You see this additional, reason for my position. It is unfortunate lor your clients to have had dealings with an institution which no one can even in* vestigate without having it suggested or insinuated that he may be a grafter, or at least has a good opportunity to steal. While I regard this reference to our committee as only a shrewd attempt to shake public confidence in us and intended to obstruct and interfere with our work, which is evidently becoming distasteful to many of those who are irrevocably wedded to the dispensary, still when I see this proneness to criticise us, I wish to be especially careful not to put myself in a position that could, with even a color of justice, be criticised. "In your letter or Marcn you practically asked the question, 'Why so much delay?' I kuow do fact that I have learned in the dispensary investigation that I shall intentionally withhold from the publio. Sometimes I do not think it best for success of the investigation to reveal facts and suspi* clous as soon as they come to me, or to disclose our plans for the future, so in this case I will answer your question only so far as I think the present status of the investigation justifies. "We are trying to get the facts in re gard to several suspicious matters which we think should be investigated. Among them is the statement, as I recall it, of Senator Tillman that he returned certain rebates to a distillery. We wish to find the credits on * L ?? -* me DOOJts 01 me ujnuutM~jr ouuvrmg wc amount of rebates which Senator Tillman said he returned as a gift for the gratitude he felt to the liquor concern crediting the State of South Carolina. Besides this there has come to my ears a rumor, the souroe of which I do not dow recall, but which I think should be looked into, that Senator Tillman, when governor was presented with a piano by a liquor conceru. It may be that receipts may he shown for the re> bates which may have been returned and for payment of this piano which may have been received, as it was rumored, to be thd satisfaction in the case of the Towiil horse matter. Still we do not know the facts in re gar a to tnese icings ana tnius toe legislature intended for us to investigate suoh transactions as these, as well as other vague and uncertain matters to which oommoQ rumor jjives currency. We must do our duty in looking into these things and you may judge by the above samples that we must nave much time in doing it. Furthermore, it is not expedient and I would not approve of the committee holding a public sessioa every time. Senator Christensen and I have done all we can in examining each claim. I recognize the fact that we may be chasing a will-o'-the-wisp in this matter and that your olients may sutler in the meantime, but whether our efforts be such a chase it seems certain that in all evepts our committee must walk through the mire, "The opinion is so prevalent {.hat the dispensary has been a breeder of so much corruption that no ooe can touch it without the suspicion of some one being aroused. Unfortunately in the case of our committee, the insinuation of this suspicion is cast upon us in the public prints by one who above all others may know of the innermost inception. I trust, however, that we will finally emerge from our distasteful task, meriting the confidence and approval of honest citizens. "Believing that this will satisfactorily explain our delay, I am, "Yours very truly, (Signed) J. Fraser Lyon."' TILLMAN'S ANSWER. pirfy, (JovrftFUfy loaiunatlons," H? Saja?peelapeH Rig fofcbaiei IIA letter from Mr, Jjyon, of the disr pengary investigatiLg committee to an unknown man, was made public Saturday. Yesterday this letter was shown Senator Tillman, who is at Clemson, by a representative of the local morning paper. Among other things Senator Tillman had to say, in reply, was the following: " I am surprised, " be Baid,44 that a crftntleman unnh na T thnncrhfr. \Tr T,vnn O ? * -"J to be would go in the papers In such a sneaking way as this. Even the name of a lawyer to whom he wrote is not given, but whether he authorized its publicity or not, I assume it to be authentic. " I have not attacked the investigating committee; I only warned it in a friendly spirit. And why? Either the $700,000 worth of claims against the state board are valid and binding or they are not. I say they are not, because the whiskey was bought contrary to law and the state is not legally bound for payment. " The committee knows this now as wall as it will ever know it. Messrs Lyon and Cbristensen have blacklisted certain firms; the presumption is they have diccovered evidenoe of fraud. Jf those firms have acted dishonestly the old board cannot be clean; but leaving Messrs Lyon add C'hristensen to hunt for proofs, to which I do not object, again I ask; " Why the delay?" | " Whether fraud is proven or not. no , decent lawyer will contend that these > large purchases of whiskey are legal: ? First, because there was not competi| tive bidding, as the law requires; sec i^??? [man is to Belittle Committee. ' ond, because the law expressly limiti r the amount that may be on hand t< r $400,000, and instead of dickering witt lawyers employed to collect the mon ' ey, it is the investigating committee^ ! plaiu duty to repudiate the whoh transaction, forbid the new board U ; pay for any liquor and thus have ac 1 end to it. Messrs Lyon and Christen sen will be responsible to the taxpay^ ere of the state if they O. K. a eingW ' purchase that was illegally bought. " " What about the piano?" Senatoi Tillman was asked. "Well," he replied, "I have heard il ->aid if you throw a rock in the dark and a dog howls you may swear he it hit. ; u I have not sought to discredit the investigating committee, " the senator continued, " but to warn it, and when Mr. Lyon without provocation, makee public its dirty and cowardly insinuations that a wbiskev lirm gave me a piano, it is prftty clear to my mind 1 tbat be howls because be is hit. It was easy enough for bim to have 1 found out all about the piano. Mr. Malone, tbe music deater in Columbia knows to wbom be sold* it and who paid for it and he knows when it was 1 bought. 1 " I note also Mr. Lyon's pretext for delay is tbat he may look into the records of the Mill Creek Distilling com* 1 pany to see whether there are any 1 credits." " Mr. Lyon heard my testimony in Columbia and be knows I said nothing about returning any money for I never received any, " said Senator Tillman. " If tbe books do not show that any money was ever paid they certainly will not show that any was ever returned. " I want to reiterate and emphasize in the most positive way, my belief tbat the investigating committee charged with such a great responsibility, should do its duty by deciding at once what is lawful to be done about these whiskey claims; tbe more lawyers they write letters to or see about this matter, the greater is the danger that there will be a mean scandal." Tillman Aod The Committee. Columbia Reoord. Senator Tillman's advice to the Investigating committee to "keep In tbe middle of the road" In view of tbe admitted possibility of "aecret understandings" In settling claims now beld up. aod bla criticism to tbe effect tbat somebody oagbt to be arretted Id connection wltb heavy purchases, were featarea of bis receot address which might have been left ont wlthont detriment to tbe force of this argument, as we pointed out at tbe time. However, tbat la a matter of judgment abont whlob there la dlffererence of opinion. Tbe taot tbat these things were Incorporated In tbe address waa, nevertheless, no Justlfloa. Hon for Mr. Lyon In a published letter to rebash tbe old stories about Tillman getting rebates and tbe presentation to blm of a Eiano by a representative of a whiskey ouse. These tblnga bare been tbresbed over time and again, and nothing to substantiate them has ever been brought out so far as we recall. If Senator Tillman said anything in tbe way of orltlolsm ol tbe pommltee calling for a reply sprely tbat was not toe way to answer It. Senator Tllimap may be too Impetuous, too premature In bis demand for arrests, but If so i bat Is an error of lodgment, Tbe Indulgence in personalities and lpslnuat|oos and tbe repetition of ancient stories do not cure tbat error or point out wberelo It Is wroDg to proceed to drastle measures at preseDt. As we have said,- tbe circumstances of tbe case made ltdlfflcnlt, likely impossible lor tbe committee to bave secured all Its evu dene by now, but looking at tbe situation geoerally we do oot see wby Senator Till man or anybody else should be pounced upon by tbe newspapers and otbers for expressing an opinion tbat some arrests ougbtto be made. Specifically who ougbt to be arrested is aoother question. Tbe committee Itself bas glveo grounds for tbe opinion tbat somebody ougbt to account- It bas uut a number of firms doing business wltb tbe dispensary on tbe black list, This was beoause, as It was asserted, tbey bad bad ''Improper dealings" wltb tbe dispensary,or words to tbat eftect. Now if there were #upb ''improper dealings" there mugt have been two parties to then). Tbe oommlttee moat have evidence of tbe fact8, elae It wpnld not fiave taken the course It did. Under tbe circumstances any cltlgen who tblnka about tbe matter at ail will be ol the opinion tftat somebody ought to be arreateq. That any one should express auoh ft View does not all Ipdlcate that b? la adversely crltleislUK the committee, la attempting to tamper It or la trying to detract attention fiom tbe main Issue. It may not he tbe proper time Ju?t now to act, but because any cltlaen,or Senator Tillman, may think so, even though bla Judgment be wrong, la no Justification for anyone to Impute wrong motives, make Insinuations or cast reflections upon honesty of Intention or purpose. Personalties In a campaign do nobody nor tbe state any good, and we aresorry to see a beginning made tbus early In tbe canvass. Senator Tillman cannot be held wholly to blame, for It Is quite evident that there are others Jost as adept and probably more willing to make tbe campaign one of mud slinging.
