In response to my request this afternoon for a positive statement as to his entering the raee for the senate, Kx-Senator Irhy said: "The I teinoeratu* party of ihi - Slatesliall have a representative in the race. ! shall run as a Denes-rat and Reformer. I contributed to the present confusion in politics in South Carolina by my adherence to the Reform movement throughniv administration of six years as chair man of the party. I was a Simon-pure Democrat, as my colleagues among the Reformers will attest. I am farming and would like to keep out of polities which is not agreeable to me, hut Democram is not dead in South Carolina and it shall have somebody to defend it. It will t>e Irhy or something hotter at Sumter. My platform will tie a tarill for revenue only, and the free coinage of silver. By way of warning to the State say that the combination of a Populist Republican cannot he forced down the th routs of the Democrats of the State without a protest. The editor of The State's influence over some governors since \sti is not surprising, but when he dictates to the present governor, who was elected a*j a Reformer,- whoidia!! lie the send tor of the Democrats and names a Populist and calls him an available man, there is some surprise. By the way, I suppose he is satisfied with the position his Populist-Republican cam lid;, to has taken on the dis|K*nsarv hill, as the interview of Congressman Latimer in today's State would indicate. Kx Governor Eva'as and I have met in :i hotel as friends and talked as i >oinoernts, hut there is no alliance between us; 1 don't know whut Governor Kvuns aspires to." Col lrby'further said; "Gonzales is McLauriivs adopted daddy. 1 admire Gonzules ability, hut hi> judg lient and Democracy I tie plore." F. C. W. In answer to the formal protest of The Cotton Flint's printing committee, it> editor, Mr Crews, asserts that some of the committee are not ul>ove suspicion. lie makes many charges against Messrs Ellerbe, MeLaurin, Neal and Editors Koester and Gonzales. According to Mr Crews, these men have entered into a conspiracy against Tillman. lie claims that a political alliance has l?oen entered into by tne present State administration with that faction of the conservatives known as silverities and led by lull tor Gonzales for the purpose ot controlling the politics of the State. Col Ken I, he says, assured him that Gonzales ami his silver followers had joined causes with the reformers and would do Wattle for "our side" in tho next State campaign. This was a week or two l?efore Senator Karlc's death. From this time, he says, he was convinced that Mc'^aurin's groomem and the State administration were in collusion with Qonxales, and the Ilaskcllites and I'opeite independents to overthrow tho reform movement and to strangle Tillman in 11)00, expecting to beat him out of his boota with Mcl^aurin. Shortly after this, The Record, I says Mr Crews, tf'apeired in Co ] I<11 tiI>i:i as tin* Meinour in organ. | Mr Rooster. tin* roVv of Me jjLmiriti - everv. though:. look itf)t 1 j gesttiro, was t?> be its <??ij*!?ir.

So far. so good, savs Mr Crews. He then names ,?s another feature of the eonspiraey an ell'ort of Col Neal to have The Cot t on riant moved to Columbia and published in eonneetion with The Record. He surmises the object of this was to use the Cotton Plant in eonjunction with The Record to boom McLaurin. In answer to a (elogrum from Col Neal of May 31st, Mr Crews' went to Columbia when he says the Colonel made him the following proposition: "That if we would consent to remove the Cotton Plant to Columbia and publish it in eonneetion with the Daily Record, and further consent to relinquish the entire editorial control of the pa per into the ham's of Editor Kttester, the printing committee would relieve us from all expense of publishing paper, pay us a sal arv of $50 per month, and also pu\ our hoard at the Grand Cent...*i i.. ...n '? i*. i ? I nui iimn. >> e pouieiy declined | Col Seal's proposition, ami told | )iiin under no consideration could ' we accept his terms." J Now, concludes Mr Crews, those I Uui facts connected with the | ''Breaking of our contract ' with the committee that no "politics were to he indulged in," although we considered this prohibition a mere joke as we cannot remember the time, since under the control of the Alliance, when The Cotton iMailt did not indulge in politics, and we leave it to the public to lecidc a> to whether The Cotton Plant print i ng committee. i> dei siring the removal of the naper audits publication and editorial Mipervisioti turned over to the ! man who is editing McLaurin's own exclusive arpin, did so in the interest of I'lie Cotton Plant a< an agricultural and Alliance papert or was it their intention to divert it to the political ambition of lit lie Curley headed Johmn As to the accusations of Mr ? rews against The State and its edi tor Mr (tommies replies: **'Pho i editor of The State ha4 effected no 4'arrangement*' whatever purporting to d'rect or dispose of the influence of any of the former I "conservatives." Not only this: He has made no ' arrangement" 1 whatever for the disposal of the | influence of "The State." The editor of The State isnot a "boss* mid has no votes to deliver. The State is an independent journal tnd does not intend to yield its independence. It can never he an "organ," because it has definite and strong convictions, known of all men who read it, which convictions make for it a clear and pr night path of public duty. It fields them to noliody; it accepts Mindly the policy 01 no man or sit of men " The editor of The Record says: Geo K K?ester is in full and comI I A- . - 4 1 ' ? ?

A proposition was Dade to Mr Ko'ster to publish the cotton Plant in connection with Vhe Record.

How ever, Mr Kditor, there is scarceh I ilone statement made by Mr crew which is not partly or wholly 1111 I true. He states that 1, as chairman o: the committee, ottered him fifty dollars a month and his board a the (irand Central Hotel if In I would move tin? Cotton 1 * 11 11 1< Columbia. Thi- statement is nb solutoly incorrect. The eonunit tee's contract with Mr ('reus pro vide's that wi were to have givei aim eighty dollars to assist in moving the material, ete., iron Spartanburg to Laurens and oth er-wise get the paper started. This was all we agreed to pay nn der the e.aitraet covering tin year 1>H7. The committee paid Mr (Yew: one hundred and thirteen (Si Id. I . . . (mm in a very short time after tin paper was removed to Laurens. Learning from Mr Crews that wt should have to continue to advance money to him from time to time, \ve wore forced to look around t< make some other arrangements. Accordingly we suggested the proj rioty of removing the Cotton I lMant to Columbia, which proposi 'tion Mr Crews readily consented to. We did have a conference with Mr Kocstcr and cndeavorec to make an arrangement with him i for Mr Crows, but could not per suade Mr Koester to agree to taki thepaj?cr with Mr Crews. Mi Crews agreed to work on the Ue | cord and Cotton Plant, set type i or do any other work for ^50 u 'month. I insisted that Mr Crew; should demand $.'?<) a month urn his Iniard, but be argued that hi would l?c glad to get $50 to stair with. This is the nearest positioi to buy out Mr Crews and his in j tluonee that was made to him b< | the committee. In refercneo to consulting M 1 McLaurin, which Mr Crews state ! was necessary l>ofore Mr Koeste ! would agree to any proposition Mr Koester did consult Mr W Martin, who owns the Recon Plant, and Mr Martin advisct againft talking the Cotton Plan i as a business pro{K>sition.
