, la aider thai tha pabUo m?y catch th?
whole natter clearly I will state that last
Christnas, while snow-bound hare in Columbia,
and afterwards whilst enow-bouad in
Laurens, 1 prepared a rough article on tht
political sitoetit-n la South Carolina, headed
"Tha Reform Movement" and "Some Christ
ouu nenecuons or M Uia tteformer. It vu
writ ton frvm a patriotic standpoint and wai
intended for tho good of the Reform dots
meat and to "pour oil "pen the Uoubied
?!iss" vi i no State. It endeavored to criticise
all factions fairly and there is unavoidably
la such an article some honest and fail
criticism of Governor Tillman as a public
ofioth
While contemplating its publication undei
a aom ds plume ou its merits I read it t?
Air. John Q. Capers, of the Columbia Journal,
whose paper had anoouoced its intention to
pursue a non-ptrtisao oourse in nooord with
the general spirit of tho arliole, and also to
Mr. James II. Tillman, telling the Utter that
I intended to bring the article to Washington
and submit it to the criticism of hn
father, whom I considered a broad guaged
statesman, who was, with Geo. Gary, one ol
the founders of tbe Reform Movement in
South Carolina. Mr. Capers an-1 Capl.
Tillman were boiii anxious to publish the
article, but 1 withheld it for further consideration,
and in accordance with the advice
of some of my friends, and in consideration
of the fact that it contained some criticism
of Governor Tillman, to whose administration
I belonged, 1 had almost, if not altogether,
abandoned the idea of publishing,
but now sinoe it has been brought in question,
I will let it g> to the press with the
request that although it is eomewhat long
every paper in the Slate will publish it, and
I do not ouly ask, but I challenge a criticism
of it from tbe standpoint of truth, true Democracy
and patriotism.
Governor Tillman is strong enough nnd
brave enough, not only to stand bJt to accept
the criticism it contains in proper spirit, for,
as Senator Irby once said to him, in one of
bis flashes of truth and honesty, "We both
v>A. li.o( 17--i
?uvit vu?? *?ncj uu'cr uuuvro us ur iuiis us
any lies." Possibly if the article is carefully
read, and its advice heeded it may yet
represent the good that is to come out of this
contro rsy.
I had been invited to slay with Capt. Tillman
in Washington, but the rush of visitors
was so great that 1 remained with the staff,
and during my entire stay I did not have
re than a five-minute conversation with
Mui, nor did I read or exhibit the article to
any one iu Washington. Meeting numbers
of friends, and seeking no office there, 1 was
constantly engaged socially, and had but
little to do with politics iu any form. The
barge that I had a conversation with Capt.
Tillman and offered him an article for publication
which he refused, and told him of a
* combination which had been agreed upon,
offering him the position of Adjutaut General,
is as pure and unadulterated a lie as
was ever put upon paper, no matter who is
the author or instigator of it. Indeed, on
"Saturday after the inauguration," when
Senator lrby says it took place, I hud left
Washington, nnd was speeding my way to
South Carolina. The allusiou to the article
which I b&'l shown Capt. Tillman before he
left the State, at lca?t six weeks before, is all
the truth there is to it.
1 have asked the papers to republish that
wonderful epiitle to the Georgians, making
"new revolutions" of a fcnrAil cutublnaitou
to Voverthrow Tillman and lrby," so that
they can study and analyze it carefully, and
thry will find but a little of Jame9 Tillman
in it, just enough to satisfy his vanity, n
good deal of ray old friend Maj. Gary, and
it is bristling all ovor with lrby, in whose
interest was it written, and t\>r what purposes,
who inspirod it, who concocted it, or
actually wrote it. Did Matthew, Mark,
Luke or John nil have a hand in the episth
to the Georgians, and send it under James
Tillman's nom do plume, Craddock ? Was
Jim implicated himself, or, as they Jtavt
Avt?.A/tM.li*.A?iW r?r.;?u mnlf A V* "
uiacu oubu t'Aii aui uiuui j piuo tu iuuav tuv
publio believe, did lie originate and write il
himself?
. I bavo shown how the talk about "uu article"
originated, and 1 will show the public
the article, and my explanation of the graud
? combine is simple and easy. lrby heard ol
the Farley article. Shell had announced hit
iuteuiiou to rotire, which he conld not understand
(for there is no retiring in lrby)
Farley had called by Senator Butler's ofhoc
one day with Col. William II. Perry, tine
knowing of Senator Irby's bitter hatred, hat
ignored him while in Washington, and Irbj
began to ruminate. At last lie began to be
liese there was a couibina<ion, and lio con
eluded to make tho_charge aud havo it pub
lished in Georgia, "where it would altraci
just sufKcient attention to be copied anc
reaoh the people of this Stale and create dis
trust among the Reformers in this Stati
against Shell aud Farley, and Talbert, too
although in his last article he tries to skill
fully lie the Talbert part out. This was tin
scheme, and if voting Jim Tid&iuu iia<l any
V tbing to do with i', he was the victim o
^ Senator Irby, and now by "mixing error anc
truth lrby is playing the part of a delibern1'
scoundrel by trying to throw the wbol
tMplame" on Capt. Tillman, and making bin
soapegoat, thus committing a still greate
T aume, that of sacrificing tlio Governor'
& JEplicw to ehiold himself from exposure
Jr Jrlllood is (and ought to be) thicker thai
^ water," and 1 know that Governor Tillinai
Jinows lrby, and bus found out long ago tlia
the charge of a combination on tlio part o
Shell and myself, with Gen. Sutler or an,
one else, is totally untrue. Since it lias beei
alluded to he and Mr. Ueorge Tillman botl
know that 1 have done more towards heulin,
the breach between ihem than any one
Indeed, I am totally unlike irby iu this
that I have made none but friends for him
while Irby has constantly made him cnemie
and ti ied to estrange old and well triei
friends from bim, as 1 nin prepared tc show
But who is trying to siand up for the trutl
of the Craddock article or the alleged com
binitiou 1 Not Jim Tillman, on whoso nu
thority they say it wivs published,and in fac
no oue but Irby, "the real author," and lr
only says ihat "every one who reads th
papers and has watched the turns in politic
will see hat there was truth, and lots of ii
in what Tillamu slid." What papers? Cor
eluding his remarks Irby says: "Why di
hot fjen. Farley ask of ine an explanation i
1)0 believes what he pretends to believe c
the assumed wrong I did him ?" And
answer, Why, John, did you not ask of m
arrexplanitiou of Jim Tillman's wonderfi
combine, when he Jold you, instead of (at
cording to your own acknowledgement
encouraging him to put it in the pipers
Why djd not my life-lyug friend, May. Gary

other State offioors to concur with ine ? Wh
did he uot give mc a chance to cxplai

Jas. H. Tillman
1 wrole to him that I did not care about
' the article as that could speak for itself,
1 though uo one in Washington at that time
1 had ever seen it except himself.
On the 12' h of June he writes again, renewing
his invitation to visit them on the
' ocoaaion of the inspection, and concludes, as
; shown by his le.tcr before me, "Don't forget
your article. Fath'er fays he will take
pleasure in comparing notes wi'h you."
1 look the article with ine and read it to
1 "Uncle George," and got his criticism of it,
and after James Tillman had told me all
1 about the "Craddook" article and many
other things corroborative of his statement,
I told him that 1 intended to expose Irby
and asked him to state definitely for my protection
who the real author was.^s an addition
or postscript to his 20th Mny letter,
lie then sat down and deliberately added to
that letter :
"P. S,?It is hardly necessary for me to "
add that Irby dictated the article to his
secretary."
fTL!. !_ A?-_ _1- -1 - -a 1 iL. VI ! . I
iIIis is inu wane anu ui* puuiiu
knows the re6t. 11
Now I submit the question to the public.
Who am I to believe?James Tillman, who 8
tells me all about it and at last "lets the 8
cat out of the bag," or those who conceal 0
this "stab in the back" and ' in the dark"
until I forced it out by exposing and do- 0
nouncing Senator Irby for the scountrel I v
knew him to be ? Even if we acknowledge r
that there was a possibility for James Till- 0
man to have been in it, there issio possibil- 8
ity for Irby to have been out of it. They
were alj privy to it, nd no one told me except
James Tillman, Hence my letter, and
it is my private opinion, publicly expressed,
that Irby got "mighty light," as the
darkey said when John Brown was hung.
Let it be remembered that all of the par- I
ties were office-seekers, includiug Jim Tillman
(who was applying for a counsulship)
and nil seeking Senator Irby's patronage.
Let it not be forgotten that contemporaneous J",
telegrams were sent to the Reyuter covering '
the same matter, all of which is in perfect .
consonance with Irby's well-known method
of pulfing himse'f; then put James Till- j"
man's statement in the balance with the .
actual contents of the "Craddock" article, 8
and the conclusion is inevitable?not only
was it born in that den of iniquity front ?,
which few men have escaped with clean ^
hands, but that Irby was at the bottom of i'. .
Now. Senator John, since you have undertaken
to interpret my notion in exposing n
you, let me interpret yours. Remember, ?'
John, that but for the "Craddock" article, c
which you have acknowledged was written r!
itntl Mnt t trnuu n*?- e]
have cxpossed you, and that you provoked ^
it. In alluding to the Congressional race, ^
have you not expossed your wilcy and artful
game? You discovered a mare's nest,
and hating Farley and Shell, you put it in ^
the papers to excite suspicion among the
Reformers and sent Sampson Pope to the j
Governor to exoitc his distrust iu order to _
kill tliera off. I& not that plain, Johnnie ? '
Now. Senator John, let me give you some n
1 good advice before you get out of the papers, f
' for 1 see, JoIju, tnai you aro exceemngiy ..
' nnxious to get out of the papers. It's a bad
! place for you, as there is no telling what r
' may come out, and these little love letters '
L of miue aro not such pleasant reading as
the Register's pretty personals, "Craddock's"
dictated and punctuated praises, or Larry
5 Gantt's powerful pull's. I told you a long
time ago?-kindly?John, that you couldn't P
^ sustain yourself in the United States Senato, >'
1 and advised you not to try it. Now you seo c
the result. I told you also, when you asked 5
my advice, to resign the chairmanship of ?
' the executive committee and keep out of i<
' State squabbles, beoause you had a bigger i<
' job than you could properly attend to, at 1
Washington. I told or wrote Oovern->r Till- e
' mutt that you were not the man for the
' place, about the same time, and you know u
" yourself that wbilo I was williug to see Geo. h
L Hampton retain bis scat for the harmony of n
' the Democratic party, still I urged that n
" some man of mcvo strength, character and b
5 dignity thau yourself be elected. Uncle s
? George, Judge Wallace, Judge Pope, aod at n
* last, when I saw that there was real danger, H
s i urgod Governor Ttiimaa himself to go. I
* You see I was right, John, for you have p
t been making a great fool of yourself, aod ?
1 you have done us no good. You have tried "
e bullying and bragging and begging around *
e Washington until you have played out and
3 cannot now aDDoiut a dotr oelter. while I H
r hear they are all laughing at you, from the
9 President down. Take my advice, John.
' Ucsigu the chairmanship and let us alone
a down here, for you caunot run the State and
1 national government both at the aame time.
I tjuit running down here, bothering other
^ people and trying to pass foolish wild cat
Y fchemes through the legislature. CJait 1
II "rushin around" and scheming and wire o
^ pulling and making all sons of promises that 1
8 you cannot fulfill. Already you are f
' known annng the applicants as romising"
(but not performing) John. Oo back to
'? your seat, and try io attend to your public (
9 business and 1 really believe that if they f
' will let you s;ay for a half century you r
might make a Senator. I know that you (
'l "feel like a fool at a frolic" in the Senaie, ?
hut I can't help Uiat now, and can only ad- '
'* vi e you to be nndest and keep quiet so t
1 that yuit wont expose your ignorance.
e Another thing, John. Vour game at play- 1
c ing the bully has been run in the ground, i
3 You can't bully every body, for now and then, c
'? John, you have run up against a game man, f
i* and you have to wi t, John, and people fjnd 1
d out that at heart yon are 'a ciiwqrd. ' I leqrn ?
f 1 oliii, that you attacked Capt, Shell at John 1
?f Shaw's private residence on account of icy s
J article, when you knew lie was unarmed,
c and you drew your bowie knife. Now, ?
d John, that was uogentlemanly and cowardly. >
' Why did you not cotne after me, for I wrote I
) every word of the article myself and signed '
? uiy name instead of "Craddouk." By the
r, way, John, you have hinted that you wantt>
ed to settle these matters "out of the
e papers." I know that you are not hunting
y any srj.iare, fair fight, but if you can't stand p
n these affectionate missives, or pleasant pas>
(jninades, of mine, and cooclmfe to risk it,
n don't try t > drag in ?Siund? or rc'atives to
8- do your fighting, as you have an old and
important habit of domg, but come by yourit
self, Johnny, for you know you can get fair
t play nnd always find "where I arn at.*'
>r You are getting into serious trouble, John,
u and the ouly way to get out, is to keep
ii quiet, and quit gelling other pooplo to do
J, your dirty work. The McKlroy experience
a was sufficient to have satisfied you, for wkcu

PABTiaa WOOD TO TBS AUUXCB.
Before olosiag, I sraht to soy a word to
ay old friends of the Alliance, and aore
particularly those in my native county of
liturtu.
Without waiting to hoar both sidaa of tha
>ontroverey, oome of you h"?c uuuvrilkoD I
c dccid? it by resolution. Sard is AUianoe
irrnt ao far aa to withdraw its invitation for
no to addrcaa than.
Gentlemen, that waa not fair, nor right,
this was a personal natter, and no Retain
or Alliance matters ware involved. I
vas reared in Laurens oounly, and am wall
mown there, and no resolution by all tha
kllianoes of tha State oan rive me a bad
character or John Irby a good one. I made
rou a good aoldier in war limee, and, though
i boy, fought my way up from tha ranks. I
itood by you, and was rent from here to jail
'cr you in Radical and IIlux times. I
'ought for yon and wrote for you in 1876.
Long before you were aroused to a knowedge
and appreciation of your own wrongs,
md long before Ben Tillman's voloe was
teard in the land, 1 had been working and
vriiiog for "Area silver and ftnanoial relief,"
m l nearly every plank in the reform plat'ortn.
Many of you know it, and besides I
vill prove it, by the record.
I belong to the Reform Movement and not
o any individual, and I am in sympathy
rith all the essential demands of the Alliance,
and shall advocate work and vote for
he principles that they now represent, as
ong as they keop withinilhe Democratic
arty. My position is the result of my reord,
which is well known and consistent,
nd is not due to political trimmings or
-ciat tail swinging." Since arriving at
nan hood, I have done the best I could for
be State, for you, and the Reform Movement.
1 have always expressed myself fearlessly
nil independently, and shall continue to do
o, regardless of everything except my sense
f right and my duty to the StateThe
fear of losing or the hope of getting
See shall not control me, for no matter

POINTS FROM CLEM80W
^resident Craighead has Something to tag of
Interest to Parents,
To the Editor of the Journal:?Your
eadcrs have already learned of the resoluon
of our board to the effect that "after
.ugust 10th students will not bo permitted
o enter." This applies, of course, to this
tssion, which ends in December. At the 1
eginning of the February session new
Ludenis will bo matriculated. This action 1
f the board calls for a word of explanation. 1
fe have already enrolled -100 students,
here is a limit to our capacity. It is ,probb'e
that by August 10th all rooms in the
ormitory will have been taken. We canot
as long as new students ore permitted to
iter, arrange a permanent schedule either
>r work on the farm or in the shops or for
citations. Jlence the bofcrd^
ater this session could, by an extra effort,
e here by August 10th, passed the above
esolulion.
Now, Mr. Editor, allow me a word to
arents who contemplate sending eons to
lemson.
In the first place, eaoli boy who enters
ere must deposit with the scoretary $38*5
for the first month's expenses. This
oes not include books, which cost $5. Let
ic itemize :
'or one month's board $ 7 00
'or two uniforms (they Jought to last
two years 23 75
'or five month's medical fee 2 50
for one month's washing 50
Total $33 75
These uniforms are bought at wholesale
rices, and arc sold to cadets at cost. It is
n the end the cheapest clothing a student
an buy. Thpy would cost at rotail at least
40. For every month after the first the
ost is $7 for board and 60 cents for wasting.
Industrious students who are wiling
to do any kind of work will be furnished
wo hours' work daily and will thus be
nablod to make from $3 to $( a month and
bus cut down their board to about $4 a
lonth. Energetic men who have push and
maw Artri An nnnnrf unit u In malro rran
lore money than th'S, but the college H<ia?
ot an?r?nice but iwo nours work per day
3 each student at 8 cents per hour. If the
tudent perforins extra work he may gjt as
moh as 8 cents per hour, but too probabi!
ly is that ho wiii not be paid over 5 cents,
n short, an energetic boy could reasonably
xpect to spend the first five months here
it a cost of ftbout $50. The next five
nonths would oust him only $*2G, as he
vould have no uniform to buy.
This is all the college proposes to do, and
urcly it is enough. It puts an education
vithin the reach of even the poorest boy in
South Carolina. Scoras of parents write to
ne saying: "Our son wan:s an education,
>ht he cannot raise the money." To such I
:an only say, give your boy a chance to
make the money.
Any boy who is filling to do faithful
work'on the fa.ip om mnko $5# in five, six
ir eight mouths. The work will not kill
lira. It will make a man of him, if he be
ircd by tbo deteru ination to make somehing
out of himself,
At auy rate, do not send your boy to
^lcmson College expecting kind people here
o see him through college. There are here
10 sucb people with whom I am acquainted.
)ur American youth must learn to labor
ind to wait. I have no faith in that young
nan who is not willing to work this year
hat he may go to oollcge next year.
Before Heading your boy to Cleinson write
or a prospectus that you may know what
ve profess to teach. You may not like the
:ollege, and, in that case, it would bc^er
'or you to send to ^ome olher institution,
f yon a^e Worth $u,o6o abovo all indebtedteas,
or if you reoeive a net inoome of
M.000 a year you must pay tuition?$20 a
lession.
Clemson College offers every possible eulour-igement
to honest, energsiic young men
vho desire an education such as offered
terc, bijt tq H|y, spoiled or vicious youths
here is perhaps no place in South Carolina
hat offers so few attractions as Fort Hill.
