12 TILLMAN'S VIEWS.
sly
erst Expresses His Opinions Freely

ir? | Campaign.
ce.
in Washington, D. C., July 18.?
as. Senator Tillman passed through
res Washington today on his way to
l,0 the meeting of the democratic
3ni' committee at Chicago.
He said he did not know what
nt] was the purpose of the meeting or
so. what subjects would come up for
ar consideration.
I ,
en South Carolina, he said, was
still lor Bryan and would send
m. that sort of a delegation to the
o
tly next democratic national convene
rill tion.
On the subject of tho general
>ld 'political situation as respects the
rt? democratic party he said that he
to was fully aware that a determined
;ai- clTort was being made by "some
gold bugs and traitors, assisted by
r|). republicans, and probably with
ter mark Henna's money," to drop
frco silver from tho democratic
or^ platform. Whdfi the convention
^be meets, he said, there would pro
bably be a very determined tight
made to accomplish this; but he
was confident that it could not
succeed.
He said he thought the democratic
convention would be safely
under the control of Bryan people
and that the platform of '90
would be readopted with such additions
as more recent develop,
uients required.
ftr Speaking of the Philippine situ
jn ation, he said that it looked tc
him as if the administration had
re.
entirely underestimated the dimive
culties of the campaigh and that
after the big sacrifice of life and
jn-1 ?
money we were about in the same
. ' position we were at the outbreak

belonged to the Griffin faction,

more threatening than over before,

Detailed reports of yesterday's
! tight brought here today by mes'
sengers from Manchester are to
I the effect that early in the morn,
ing the 1'hilpots with Ed Fisher,
| who is a nephew of Gov. Philpot,
i started to the woods on a logging
expedition. They were met by
| Deputy Sheriff Wash Tucker, who
served a warrant on Robert Philpot.
Ho was taking Philpot18
bond when Aaron Morris and the
Griffins, who seemingly had l>een
following the Philpots, came up
I on horseback from a by road.
Robert Philpot was signing the
bond, when Morris, taking deliberate
aim with a Winchester, shot
hin in the back while he was in a
' stooping posture. Peter Philpot,
1 who stood on a wagon nearby,
' sent a bullet into Morris1 head,
tearing off the lop of it, but Morris
did not fall from his saddle
' until two other shots had passed
1 through his body. The firing
then becuuie general and did not
cease until every man was dead or
wounded, except Peter Philpot,
who was not hurt. When it was
ended, Aaron Morris, Win Grif1
fin and Green Griflin were found
to have been killed. Ed Fisher,
Hugh Griflin and Robert Philpot
wore fatally wounded, while Alex

PASSING OF ALGEK.
His Resignation as Secretary of
War Sent in Sooner than expected.
' Washington, July Iff.? Secre?
tary Alger today tendered to the
; President his resignation of the
war portfolio. The resignation
1 will boeotne effective on August
tirst, though it was tendered 4'at
the pleasure of the President."
1 Gossip has begun already as to
his successor, hut it is entirely
speculative, for notwithstanding
the reports that Mr Alger would
not long continue at the head of
the War Department, his actual
resignation came suddenly and
unexpectedly. So little was it
expected at this time, that some
of the cabinet officers, when the
I nntt'o <1 U1 ! *
uvno mai nctiiiiic [inuiu: were inclined
to regard the announcement
as premature. Formal acceptance
of the renignation had not be* n
made by the president up to a late
hour tonight, but will be in a letter
to be written within the next
day or two. No official statement
as to the cause of the resignation
was procurable either from the
President or from Secretary Alger,
neither of whom would talk
on the subject, nor was the letter
of resignation obtainable at this
time. For the present nothing
will lie made known officially concerning
the severance of the official
relations between the President
and his War Minister, but
later on, the correspondence closing
the latter's career as chief of
the War Department doubtless
will be given to the press.
