Senator McLaurio Makes Reply To The State Democratic Execotite Committee. Out of the Crucible of Truth vhe Persecuted .Junior Senutor Pours Forth ou the Heads of His Enemies h Molten Stream of All Consuming Facts. Paris Mountain, S. C? August r>, 1901. To the Democratic Executive Com* mittee,State of South Carolina: Gentlemen: The ollicinl notice of the action of a majority of \our committee on .Inly 25th, was received by me Autr. 1st, live days altar it had been announced in the newspapers. This published announcement was the first notice 1 hail that any action ?: fleet in ? mo was to l?e taken by your committee. I am now olliciallv informed that a majotity of your committee condemns my cauise in tho senate, demands my resignation and un dertakes to exp?l me from th^ Democratic parly. Twenty-one men have attempted to usurp the powers of the 1?0,000 Democratic voters of South Carolina, and as an inc'dent, in a meeting called for another purpose, huve hastily endeavored to do what can he done only hy solemn proceedings of impeachment, expressly provided for in the constitution of the United States. Kcspoiisihlc Only to The People. I hold my commission from the Democratic voters of South Carolina. I recognize no authority tint theirs ; take no orders from any source hut them, and shall in due course appeal to them for judg-* ment on my course as a senator, and my character us a man and a Democrat. Personally 1 arn indifferent to J your action because nobody has made you my master or censor, and 1 regard what yon have done as mereh expressing the malice and the. tears of one individual, ! Senator 14. K. Tillman. Put for I this always evil tm<l indecent influence, ordinary res poet f ?r the proprieties would prolmhlv have prevented the four of you who are inv declared competitors for the sent I now have the honor to occupy, from attempting to use the power entrusted to you hv your party to remove a rival from your ! path. Action UufUir, A!?*ur<t and LTi?-J democrat ie. As a citi/en and Democrat of j South Carolina, I tun mortified hy i your action,because it has brought ! upon the State the condemnation and the ridiculi of 'lie press and the public throughout the country. I I'nhappilv, those who are not in timately acquainted with our con- ' (litions, accept the action or your committee as repiesentin<x 'lie intelligence and the democracy of our Stutate and lioth are madeoh. jeets of derision. Against this I I wish to enter mv solemn protest. I shall demonstrate how unfair, absurd and undemocratic your action is; and I shall trust to the Democrats of South Carolina to repudiate it when the opportunity is given them. Your purpose is to deny that pportunitv. Star <'liaiiitier Proceedings It is in strong contrast with the ' blatant hoast of Senator Tillman at Gaffnoy to put me on trial before the party on the hustings with himself as prosecutor. As you know, I sought that test by a proposal to appeal te the people hut the governor saw fit tn forbid it. Now Senator Tillman appear? as prosecutor against me in n>v absence and bj proceedings like | # thone of the wtar chamber, which t w:i* tho uniht infamous trinunnl of j< English history, and th? most *l?. t horrent to A nolo Saxon instincts, t seeks to exclude mo from the par i ty ami its d baton and public as- ,i senibinges. It is your duty, as custodians of the pa'ly interests, t<? seek recr uits and to strengthen the party. To save Senator Till Minn from staking his record, <disngth ami fortune against mine \ on undertake to exclude me and my friends from the party. Whatever your individual motives may have been, the purport of yeur action is to facilitate the senator in dodging me and to deny the peoj 1< the opportunity of passing on mv positions and conduct. hi seem* to me the Democratic mass e? of South (.'arwiina are competent to say at tlie p<dl> whether or not 1 have been i faithful senator ami a consistent Democrat.
