The People, Disgusted with thc

Phases of the Struggle.
[New York Tiraea.J
LAURENS, S. C., September 30.
The article which appeared ir. the
Times some three weeks ago,
entitled "It was a Social Revolt,"
and dated from Charleston, this
State, has been widely read
throughout South Carolina, and
has been the subject of much
comment, particularly among in
telligent farmers. The article
purports to give what is charac
terized as the "true inwardness
and spirit of Tillmanism." It ie
said in criticisms of the letter that
"Observer," by whom it is Bigned.
reasons from false premises;
through it is confessed that the
subject is so ingeniously handled
that the indictment is of more
?than ordinary interest. The Times'
correspondent recently had a talk
with Senator Irby, who is made
prominent by "Observer" among
the social revolutionists. He wa?
very willing to give his versio?oi
the question.
The Senator's statement is ol
speccial interest, as he is a descend
ant of the bedrock families ol
South Carolina, being closely
related to the Earles and Thomp
sons, who, with his own paople, are
of revolutionary stock and have
illustrated the history of thif
State on the Hench, at the Bar
and in the field. Senator Irby
however, does not bank much on
his ancestry or on anybody else'e
ancestry as a "sole consideratior
for preferment or elevation, a
favorite social maxim with hin
being that "a race horse that can'i
run is a very poor piece of pro
perty."
"I propose to show, said th<
Senator, "that there is no founda
tion whatever for the reasoning oi
argument that the. social questior
entered at all into the the politica
revolution which culminated ir
the election of Tillman as Governo:
of South Carolina in 1890, First
as to the cauaes of the Tillmai
Movement, so called. The politica
history of the State up to 189(
shows that it was ruled by ai
oligarchy of which perhaps n<
North?rn State can furnish ai
example. This oligarchy ha^beei
variously called the Ring, th<
Bourbons, and more recently, and
quite appropriately, the 'Conserva
tives, in the original meaning o
the term. Under whatever nam
this regime was known, the votinj
people-the gieat majority o
them-saw some years ago that, s
far as the holding of offices wa
concerned, the Bourbons were ?

"That there was and is no soc

The more prominent of the leaden

' W. A. Courtenay, Dr' Timmermar
i and myself. , Those men enlistee
j in the cause ot reform in the Statt
? Government and for a redress ol
the evils oppressing the farming
classes. Those who know any.
? thing at all about the social his
i tory of South Carolina would nevei
i contend that all or any of the lead
ers I have named would have en
tered into a conspiracy to destroy
1 their own class as a class, 01
to pander to communistic pre
i judice and passion as a means oi
, self destruction. The leaders in
. most instances belonged to what
is called the higher or highest
1 social class in South Carolina, and
} they represented the State from
i border to border, among them be
[ ing included some of the colonial
.'aristocracy' of Beaufort, Geor
getown and Charleston.
; "The Tillman family ranks
? among the best in the State. In
i 1885 Tillman made a speech be
, fore the South Carolina Argicul
1 tural Society at Bennettsville, in
1 which he advocated the building
? of an agricultural college, in which
the farmer boys could learn the
* science of agriculture. He advised
also the divorce of the literary and
j agricultural departments of the
? South Carolina University, in
which was an 'annex' for agricul
' tural studies. The idea of the
agricultural college and the aboli
* tion of the 'annex' were endorsed
5 by every county in the State. In
1886 the farmers met, formed an
? association, and presented their
claims in a memorial to the Legis
1 lature, which were almost indign
1 antly refused.
' "This meeting was the largest
L ever held in this State, and was
composed of representative far
mers and the friends of the associ
ation, lawyers, doctors, mechanics,
and all other professions and
" vocations. In that year, after tho
rejection of their respectful claim,
j they tried to solidify their forceB
and elect a Governor in sympathy
with them, but they failed for a
reason not necessary to explain in
' this connection. In 1888 they
j tried again, but failed again. They
.V tried in this year, to nominatr Gen
Joseph H. Earle, a Bourbon of the
Bourbons, a fact which is its own
commentary on that 'social revolt'
in South Carolina and the "true
inwardness of Tillmanism,' and
L especially when it is stated that
j Tillman himself worked sincerely
? and hard for the nomination of
Earle. Gen Earle was one of the
opponents of Tillman on the stump
I in 1890.
o "The farmers of the State and
8 those who favored the establish
a, ment of an Agricultural College
d had, in my judgment, the best of
p reasons for their rebellion against
?. the then existing political powers,
a Their demands were reasonable,
e and they had become exasperated
? by the failures to perform and by
;S the broken promises and hollow
!t assurances of the party leaders,
.g Governor Richardson, who pre
e ceded Governor Tillman, while
Q pretending sympathy with the
i" Agricultural College idea, made no
tl reference to it in his inaugural ad
d dress, so that near the cloBe of his
i. last term the storm burst, the revo
n lution was on. The revolutionists
-not Socialists or Anarchists
fi were determined to obtain redrese.
;? In the spring of 1890. G. W. Shell,
3f. now Congressman from the 4th
j"t district, and then chairman of the
k Farmers's Association, issued an
{Q address calling upon the farmers
Lg of the State to meet in convention
a to nominate candidate for State
3r offices to canvass the State and
r stand for nomination at the regu
lar Democratic Convention in Sep
^ tember.
is "Tillman was nominated by this
>y Convention in the spring, or was
?n 'suggested,' as the phrase went in
y that campaign. Gen Joseph H.
ie Earle and Gei i John Bratton made
to the canvass ap ainst him, but Till
ie man swept .he field and was
sr nominated and elected, adminis
to tering a crushing defeat to the In
ve dependsnt-sorehead-negro-Radical
tie ticket led by Alexander C. Has
as kell as candidate for Governor,
is- During the campaign several new
ot issues were raised by the news
3d papers, but the fundamental issues
s, of Tillmanism remained the same
and were incorporated in the party
;d platform of 1890. The cause for
th the perennial stream of abuse of
3n the Farmers' Movement and its
ay leaders from The News and Courier
er and other papen is not hard to
[ie locate. The patronage of the Fed
to eraL. Government is worth $250,
ag OOO. The former rulers of this
y. State-the Ring, as they are called
er hope to control this patronage as
he a corruption fund to bribe the
at weak-kneed Reformers and to
9n eventually restore themselves to
>r, power, But they may as well un
ie derstand now, once for all, that .the
ne people are in the saddle, there to
of remain for at least twenty years
[y and, in truth, they do know it.
pe "There is another reason for
ld this daily assassination of the
U0 State by her patriotio sons 1 The
;i" debt of the State is to be refunded
ar in 1893. Ever since Tillman came
)ir into office the daily newspapers
to naVe been endeavoring to discredit
By the State to hold her up to the
*1J world as a'poor bedraggled, crea
Qd ture,' indeed, They hope that the
}y people will repudiate Tillman
ill should he fail to refund this debt,
ial but in this they will be mis
he taken. The so-called "Conserva
or tive' Democracy cannot afford
much longer to block the effort to
ial make the refund, because they, too,
be, must pay a part, a good part, of
>n- the taxes, and I expect to see the
ay, near at hand, when a sen
ible constituency like the Con
ervative Democracy will repudi
te the newspaper leaders, to whom
he unfortunate strife, the fra
ricidal war of past years, has been
iistly chargeable. The course of
vents in the very near future will
.rick their bubbles and relegate
hem to the rear.
"The truth is that the people who
iow reign in South Carolina are
appy under the present beneficent
rovernmeut, happier than they
iave been at any time since the
rar. They are happy in the fact
hat they are now their own mas
ers ; that they are the electors, and
hat they exercise their full power
n the choice of their rulers. The
ecent primary elecci?n passed off
uietly and satisfactorily to a great
aajority of the citizens of the
Itate. The Third Party ghost
as been laid to rest. The State
rill give a big majority for Cleve
and as it will for Tillman. The
?tate debt will be refunded in dua
ime, and- a consummation most
arnestly desired-the wings of
be Democratic party will flap to
other against in peace and unity,
nless the Conservetive element as
distinct party is kept asunder to
reserve a constituency for some
aoribund newspaper enterprises."
