MARTIN ON HEYWARD. vc I 'Calls Ex-Governor a "Postmortem" in Candidate?Governor Hey. wj ward Rcplios. lio Columbia, April 17.?tflon. O. B. ga Martin, Slate .superintendent of edu- re cation, and a cadidate for the United go 'States senate, today opened his let- nn v ter-writing batteries on the Hon. D. C. ini Hey ward, former Governor and also fe a candidate for the senate. Governor lit Hey ward promptly comes back at Mr. wl Martin. pn Mr. Martin's ire seems to have been aroused 'by the publication in the nc (Baptist Courier, (Mr. Martin is a P1' Baptist,) under the 'Note and Com- ,1G ment Column, conducted by the Rev. 1,1 L. J. Bristow, of a prediction that Mr. ,lii Hey ward will be elected senator and f the assertion that he will reflect lion- ?1) [? or upon the State. Mr. Martin today oli made public a letter to the Baptist i Courier in which he rcferS to the tes- ga timony before the investigating: com- kn mittee referring to expenditures a!- of leged to have boon made in Governor be j Hey ward's behalf by sonve of bis sup- ye I porters in Spartanburg county in l<u 1002. In his reply Governor ITeyward du savs b(. lias nothing to conceal about i:i this matter, and that the expenditures fa I were made and investigated by his 1!) friends. * tj, 1 The item in the Baptist 'Courier is as follows: lj) i "Mr. Dan S. Henderson, who was 'Jr announced as candidate for the Unit- lia f ed States senate to succeed Mr. Gary, I1C has withdrawn from the race. There are still left, however, five avowed ln< candidates, of whom the leading are ^ former Governors Hey ward and 1,1 Lvans. Mr. Hey ward has probably gained by the withdrawal of Messrs. 011 McCullough and Henderson?two of (c ( the most, scholarly and intellectual 11 men in the State?and the present in- I dications are tliat Mr. Heyward will ' win out. If' he should South Cam- 'h lina would have a representative in ' the senate equal in every respect to 'n any member of that body, and one ',l whose acquaintance and influence ^ would be worth a ere a t deal to the s'> Stale." Ih Mr. Martin's Letter. * ' Mr. Martin's letter follows: .m< Columbia, S. C., April 17, IflOS. 11 To the Editors of the Baptist Cour- <0 ^ ier: Hear Sirs?The enclosed clipping f has been noted by me and also sent to me by Courier subscribers. I regry* that you thus use the influence of an your paper and your gift of prophecy nn to try to line up the votes before tlve ?^ campaign opens. I have always be- J10 1 lieved that your sense of fairness in; would hove prevented such action. ')C p It is possible to prostitute a reli- ?. gious paper in politics. I wonder if you have read pages 237-346 of the testimony of the dispensary investigaf tion committee?''Mr. W. R. Hilling- S 1 ham, of Spartanburg, swore that he spent several hundred dollars for Gov- V f ernor'Heyward, upon his (Heyward's) authority, in the race for governor in 0(^ ]002. Dillingham said that he was w( conducting the campaign upon "the P.a / Mark Hanna system." Several men swore that Dillingham collected $50 ^ each from men whom Governor Hey- 'V1 ward appointed dispensary constables. , Some of these fellows bad to "borrow money for rent and rations." Chief f Fnnt swore that Dillingham told'him that Ire spent $1,080 in Heyward's t. campaign. Ts a man responsible under I he law for the acts of his agents? m. Does the Courier stand for this? ,(i, Tl is well known that Governor Hey" ) <> ward said before Senator Latimer's 0f ^ death that he would not- run for 'sen- (i? alor because of his business matters. Sp Did Senator Lafimer's death imnred- or iately affect. Governor Heyward's Sp "business matters" so that, he could jn, get inio the senate race in less than an hour? Would he have much in flu- m. once in congress, where he would be iC| known as the post-mortem candidate? |K, Did you see the daily papers in South tin I Carolina which announced Senator W} ' Latimer's death and Governor Hey- qn ward's candidacy at tire same time on ],., the front page in large headlines? aj v Some of lire congressmen appointed to i)(. ! at lend I he funeral 'snu I hem and 'ex- m( pressed their opinions of the same. i,)( South Carolina generally respects the nn dead and their families, especially in a..|| the solemn hours of their deepest ed grief. |C1 ; South Carolinians, too. believe in ),? giving every man a fair chance. I think your paper would not lose anything by hearing the arguments and reasoning before it decides definitely L ' for the people of this iState as to boi whom they shall elect for any office, po W Sincerely yours, (;0 R) O. B. Martin. ^ B Governor Heyward Interviewed. 1' W Governor Heyward was today sa( shown a copy of Mr. Martin's letter to and asked if he had any reply to make pn to this atlack upon him. Mr. ITeyward a ( said: ho "I am very much surprised and Ne ry sorry I?? know thai Mr. Martin j is scon (it to begin the niudslinging \N the senatorial campaign. When 1 j is not a candidate lor the same of- tl e to which lie also aspires he soonieci Ie entertain for nve a vcrv high re-'fi id. The people of the State will h call that when Mr. Martin last July 1? 't- mad witn Governor Ansel and nde a bitter attack upon the Chief 11 iigistrate of iSouth Carolina he re- e: rred to D. C. Ileyward' as 'that derlitful and considerate gentleman, 10 adorned the ollice during the tl lat four years.' But since that de- u rhlful and considerate gentleman is n >w Mr. Martin's opponent, and is a onounced by a leading religious a w.spaper as the probable winner of o is race, Mr. M'artiu seems to change s] s opinion of him entirely, but I am v>] rtain that lie cannot change tire '1 inion of the people of South Car- 01 ina. y " I'lie testimony before the investi- j ting committee must have been | lown to Mr. Martin when he spoke me so kimi'iy last summer, as it has A en public property for nearly three ars. The people of South Carolina iow what sort of campaign I collided iu HIO'J and' their confidence in!' was clearly demonstrated by the ct 11?at 1 was re-elected governor in It I without oven a hint of opposi>11. n "As to the alleged expenditures in " 02 in Spartanburg county, as u ought out by the investigation, I a ve nothing to conceal and have I' ver had. I will be very glad for tl u to publish a copy of this testi- 11 Jny, which I herewith hand you. undreds of my friends throughout e State know the circumstances in n is case. Between the first and secd primaries I made my h'eadquar- 11 i's in Spartanburg, and necessarily 1' great deal of expense was incurred. >' was under the impression that all ! ' these expenses had been settled at ! e time, but two and a half years M'1 ler a statement was presented to me | inn Mr. Dillingham, which after an I vestigation by sonic of my friends, j t id upon their advice. I paid. As ! ' own by Mr. Dillingham's testimony 11 0 amount was not nearly so large as lief Fant had thought, and. furtherire, tlu> testimony will show that ' was entirely disconnected with the '.1 nstabulary. g "As to my alleged disrespect to ' nator Latimer I wish to say thai. v candidacy for the senate was not / nouneed until I read in the after- * 011 paper an account of the funeral Senator Latimer, and it was anunecd then only because I was leav- j a; the next day for Philadelphia to absent for some time 011 account the illness of my wife. Any pre?iis reference to my probable eandicy made by the newspapers was, of urse, without authorization or inigation from me. " Mr. Martin's consideration for e. feelings of Senator Latimer's mily may in his own words be term- ( post-mortem regard, because it is ill known that Mr. -Martin was prering to attack the personal and poli al record of the late senator had 1*. Latimer lived to enter the cam lign. This is shown by Mr. Marl's announcement of his candidacy r the senate. Mr. Asquitli as a Reformer. 1\ O'Connor, in P. T. 0.
