Senator Tillman's Letter. Mr. Tillman's expected lotter to the people of the State is before os. The various Haily papers of the State printed it in full on Sunday. We are unable to give it to our readers on account of its length. He gives his views on just two questions, the dispensary and the "control of the Democratic party by a majority of all the Democrats, rather than by A small fraction of the von rs." He d?80usses both at some length. He writes the letter "only from a sense of the highest publie duty," because bimle 11 eii as he is "with national ?^neerea" nothing bat "obligations to the people" could induce him to "take upon his shoulders the addi tional work of direotiug attention.to matters affecting* this State alone." He continues that the newspapers of the 'State have recently given him a great deal of advice that he should attend to his duties at Washington and leave the direction of home af fairs to others. Also that in the coming oampaign that he should dis cuss national issues ; that he is warned and threatened should he al low this oounsei to pass unheeded by him. Then he speaks as follows : "I have never sought to dictate to the people ; I have only told them the truth as I see it, giving my opinions for what they are worth, and I am always willing to abide by their action, whatever it may be. It is so in this instance." So this letter is not to be consid ered as dictatorial, no matter bow muob it may sound that way. The Senator is just giving us his opinion, and we may read, and then aot as we think bent. The people of the State have been doing a good deal of their own thinking for the past few years. They will, of course, continue to do so. Mr. Tillman says he scorns all sug gestions of cowardly non-interference in State affairs. "The people," says he, "know me too well to be fooled by tho assertion that it is my desire to boss or dictate, for my sole pur pose is to give them the benefit of my experience and knowledge and offer suoh advice as, in my judgment, will be conducive to the public wel fare." Bat he says also that he will abide cheerfully by whatever conclu sion they reach. Ho quotes the motto of Jefferson, "Teach tho peo ple and trust tho people," and says that is also his motto. The Senator next calls to mind the "revolution in South Carolina" sixteen years ago, which "gavo thc common people of thc State, tor the first time in its history, that recogni tion which was their duo and made them in reality thu masters of public affairs." Then comes a commenda tion of the present primary System. He warns the people that another "ring" is forming now, whose head quarters are in Tho State? office in Cottero bia. . Wif does not consider thc elections unfVi the Hriee act as fair, as only qualified electors were allowed to par ticipate. In the fifteen counties Which have voted out tho dispensa y ho gives the vote as 6,315 for the dispensary ; 13,800 against it ; whereas in the primary election for Govornor in 1004, 64,780 votes were cast. ?
