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. Why
should you attempt to prevent'

Political Assassins.
Jt is no cause for wonder tliat i
Senator Tillman should seek to
make political assassins of you to 1
aveid open und fair light. lie has
dim bad t<? power hy venomous
ahuse of many of the purest men
in the State who opposod him. for
wliicb lie iias ulvv ys carefully
shirked personal responsibility,
and on the political lives and fortnaes
of tliose who befriended him
while he needed ft iemts. Norris,
Tmdal and Donaldson, men representing
earnest purpose and
the interest of the farmers
of the state, and therefore
stroll":, were used hy him to promote
his own interests and thou
thrust aside, lihy. Shell and Far
ley died despisiag him because of
his treachery to them and to the
people. 1 am now in his way,and
because be has failed to strike me
(lowu he incites you to attempt to
strangle me, and at the same time
to destroy n white primary, to his
idvocucy of which he owed much
of the best of his eurlv following.
Party principles are fixed and to
the principles of the Democratic
[party I have been uniformly faithful.
Party policies are determined
from time to time ? y party

man or body of men has the puw.
