SENATOR BUTLER'S POSITION The Senator Define* Hi* Attitude and Defend* Hi* Course in the Matter of the Federal \ J hit ron aye. Eimet icLD, S. C., June *23.?To the Editor of the Spartanburg Herald: Your editorial copied in the State of the'2*2d iost. gives nte opportunity that I might otherwise not have bat df replying t> criticisms made from time to time, touching my action in regard to the Federal appointments from this Sta'e. You say among other thiogs : "If Senator Butler desirea to giro all his favors to Tillmanitcs, he should recognize those in good and regular standing." Again you say: "So far as we can see, Senator Butler does not want the Conservatives to support him. llo seems to be depending entirely upon his ?.. 1. -> ? *-> ciuiiiij j iijuuvv (uuu^u lilVU iv uu1ci i 1119 oppouent." I assume, of course, that you do not want to misrepresent me, but the above indicates very clearly that you arc not informed as to what 1 have done and propose to do about the Federal appointments. Veu will therefore be good enough to allow me to state tuy position for myself and in my own way. In the first place, 1 had but one appointment to make in roy own right, clerk of the inter-State commerce committee, of which 1 ain chairman. 1 gave that to Dan'l C. Rcper, of Marlboro, who had been strongly recommended to ine, by the lion. C. S. McCall and other friends, as a gentleman of high character and ability and fully qualified for the duties of the position ; and I nrn gratified to be at>le to say he litis measured fully up t the eodorseuieuts givou him. Let mo say iu passing that since wo have been allowed secretaries or clerks, I have selected young men who were struggling to complete their educati on and thereby afford theui the opportuuity offered by the business colleges and educational institutions in Washington. They have opportunity to do this, by avniling tliemso'vcs of lime outside of (lie hours for their ofliciul duties. It is a source of much gratification to me to know that iu this way J have boen able to aid six very deserving young men who availed themselves of the privilege to study iu the be>t schools, to which llicy would not have otherwiso have had access. Mr. liopcr is the seventh, and ho loo intends taking a course in a business college, which will be of much value to him when ho has completed ii. So much for that, the only appointment I have at my disposal. in regard to those nppoinuiients where proviuce is only a (vising, 1 have sought to know thrve thing* of applicants who havo usked^or tny endorsement: Firs', whether they arc Democrats; second, whether they are qualified, an I, third, whether they are persons of good character and stauding. In the absence of personal knowledge, wc are sometimes misled as to these qualifications ; but I have not yet recommended a man or woman not personally known to mc, who has not been strong'y endorsed by friends and neighors at home. If, therefore, there should be any mistake the fint endotsers must be held responsible. In making my recommendations I have not stopped to enquire, and do net in the future expect to slop nnd enquire, to what political faction in South Caiolina the applicants belong. It is sufficient for mc to know they are Democrats, arc qualified and of gootl character. If you can infroi nic of any case where 1 have departed from this rule, 1 shall bo very much indebted, and promise upon a satisfactory shewing to withdraw my endorsements, but 1 canuot do so upon vague and undefined insinuations. You say 1 do not seem to wnnt the support of the Conservatives. I want the support of every good man in bringing about a reconciliation and better feeling among our people, but 1 do not want the support of any mini who caunot give it freely aud conscientiously. If it is expected of me, before J can be rc-clectcd to the Senate, that 1 sliakkmrnrr lot* every local squabble and fun?nc flames of bitterness and bickering wflch have brought so much humiliation ^ ! iflflTiii the State, I shall have to disappoint those who expect it, and if the penalty is to be defeat, 1 shall take defeat. I shall go ahead and do my duty to all the people as 1 see it, and if the manner of its performance is not acceptable to my friends, I can only regret it mid take the consequences. Neither my life nor happiness depends upon my rc-ckc.ion to the Senate. In due time 1 shall give to the people who sent me there an account of my stewardship. I shall do this with frankness and without reserve, and if it is not satisfactory, the people can send some one to take my place. This is not only their right but their duty. The office does not belong to mc, but to the people, nnd they can nnd will make such disposition!! of it as they please. My own conscience tells me I have tried to discharge my duty faithfully; I don't know what other people may tdink of it. Our people 'are unhappily divided into something like hostile camps. Suspicion, misrepresentation, falsehood and selfishness have taken the place of confidence, unity of purpose, self-denial and State pride. My efforts shall he exerted to restore good feeling and confidence, to effect a more tolerant and forbearing spiiit. No people can ever e ijoy religious, social or politic;! freedom with the spirit of intolerance so rampant as that which prevails among us. We must learn to respect honest differences of opinion : we must settle tlinsc differences in the for itns of reason rather than in tho spirit of vituperation and abuse; wo must throw oil the thraldom of bossistn, secret political ca-' ils. smuggling defiance of public sentirn at and public law before wc can reach it plane of enlightened progress so esseni.ui to our well being as a people. This consummation is of far mure importance than my re-election or I lie election of o:' any man to the United States Senate. r. . I It ; State can and will survive my defeat, on 1 so will I. liut she will not recover for a eneratiou from the defeat of the efforts of good men to bring about harmony and good !t* ling and good order among our people. Some of my friends expect me to reoomIiiiiiod for office none but Conservatives. It toes * ^eera to me that this would be wise. S m nmonK 1'1C raen what is known a-*. ' faction as good Democrats as . ttffc,. lountry, with qualifications and * good as the best. Many of thlHbp^iiien rode with ine on the field of batrroT Cn the march I wis by their side and they were by mine. In the terrible ordeal of reconstruction and redemption of South Carolina, a feeling of comra'eship I grew up out of the common trials and suf| Tarings, which nothing can wholly eradicate. I I can not turn my back to these men simply I because they see fit to exercise their highest I privilege of differing with ine. not in noli Itice, but in policicn. If they difl'or with me liouestly in politics, I shall still respect their opinions. 1 have the same feeling for men in what is known as the Conservative faction, and why should 1 not? There are as good, true and tried men in that as in the other faction. You may say the State authorities do not recognize the Conservatives in State appointments. As a rule, 1 believe this is true, but it is not wise to follow a bad example. Nothing is to be gained in this interest of harmony, which 1 assume all good and patriotic men desire, by imitating the methods of unpatriotic and unwise men. I do not and can not wear their collar. No cliijue or faction or ring has ever controlled me, and I am too far Along in lifo now to bend my neck to their Voke. I do not clsim to be more indepen ent or infallible than ordinury mortals, nit I do claim to have profited somewhat by Kpcrience, which a gojd many men are not Hilling to admit, and I see nothing but ruin ftd disgrace in the continuance of politionl Wife between the white people of lliis Hdc, an t am ready to join in an honest Wort to end it. Enlightened discussion of publio .nicas urw, and fair, Just critio'sm of publio men is not only legitimate, but beautiful and instructive. Political agitation, conducted ^ for patriotic purposes, prevents stagnatign, and should be encouraged ; but blustering ? intolerance, such as emanate from shallow- tl pated intellects under the guise of popular ^ leadership, must necessarily lead to error, G and ultimately to political degredation and ruin. P I do not write this to you in any spirit of a complaint or reproach for what you have ?l said about me, but to define, as nearly as I can, my position in regard to the federal c appointments from this State. My public record is public property, and ? as such is liable to criticism. If I can not explain satisfactorily to my constituents any I and every oflioial act, I deserve te be condemned. Of oourse I shall be held respon- i sible, measurably at least, by every sppli- t cant who fails to get an office for the failure, and this, too, in the face of the fact that I 0 do not make the appointments, and how- ( over potential my influence with the appointing pow?i may be, the President lias ( too itav onu anil nnauy manes nis own sciec- , lions. This, however, is the fate of most ' public moo and I can not and do not expect 1 to escape my share of responsibility. i Very truly yours. , M. C. Butlbr. If.e Iljeeltfj] %tion kitties. 1 R. M.

Tn Last week was one of much real eiyoy- < lent and entertainment to Union's young >eop!e. J Mrs. William Mut.ro, on the 28th inst., Ml q her most charming manner, entertained t largo number of youog people, in honor if her accomplished niece, Miss Klixabeth 1 Iiimba'l, a lovely debutante. r?3 Mrs. W. K. Thomson on the following 1 jveiiing, Thursday, complimentary to Misses 8&l Mary end Nina Moore and Miss Emma s? rwitchel, gave a fancy dress ball, whioh Pft: ivas participated in by quite a number of pouog people and each one most thoroughly h?1 BDjoyed the evening. The young ladies T?' were perfcot dreams of beauty and loveli- (l?i nessin their tasty costumes, and the young men in Knickerbockers, "dyke" coats and powdered hair, looked rather handsome, compared with their everyday appearance. Or Then followed the German on Friday evening, June 30tli, at the Union Hotel/given in honor of tho visiting young ladies. Like Ta ?11 of tho dances given in Union, nothing on marred the pleasure of the evening and all went as "merry as a merriagc bell." The music wu8 furnished by the Coleman Combinatiou Hand. The Gorman was beautifully led by Mr. J. S. Moore. on The following couples danced the German : J. S. .Mooro with Miss Emma Twitchell; es W.

P' lb Nothing out of the common order Friday ^ nigbt last, when the State dispensary offi- se cials succeeded Bay and Ross, barkeepers. Everything was very quiet during the day. m A large quantity of liquor W09 sold and tho cfl most self-satisfied smiles were seen on the ^ faces of many people here, and others who left town with their "little brown jugs" filled with-"cases of urgent necessity," |u when the dispensary cannot be reached in p| time. kj Messrs.

S&" Our esteemed correspondent ?. , speaks of Alliance literature "that ma suld like to keep from the press." 1 nfess that, for one, we would be pleat get hold of some purr, non-political, nc irsonal, liberal fair and, sound democrai ,oi in a pariy sense; Alliance iiieraiui literature that will teaoh the farmers h be independent of trusts, combines, el r making their farms not only self-susta g, but profitable. A literature that * ach them that tho best, because it is I ily way to kill trusts and soulless com itions in food, products, is to raiso the i their own farms, instead of buying bacc our, etc., ercn by the car loads, from t icon and flour monopolists of the We literature that will teach them not to re i the State Exchange for such things i ,use tbey think they arc cheap, but to c snd on themsclTcs for such things becau ey can raise them cheaper. A literatu at will teach them that erery dollar th nd out of the State for sueli things is uch money soot from their own farms, ake themsolves poorer and the trusts a irabines rioher and stronger to oppn cm. We would make room for a columi oek of such literature. We don't want political Alliance litei ire. We have enough of tho most sy< iiantio and disgusting literature of tl ind in what are callsd reform nefrsoant isuming to represent Alliance doctrin id principles. We don't want Tillman ys.
