Columbia, July 17.?Gov. Blease de clared it as his opinion that Senator Tillman broke down his health by his lecturing tours and "ruined his usefulness to the people of South Carolina by running round over the country delivering lectures and overwork\ ing himself," in a statement today, replying to Senator Tillman's interview j in the morning papers. He repeated his criticism of Secretary of State Bryan for lecturing while holding his . ?... present omce. Says the governor's dictated statement; "Yes, I .have noticed Senator Till-! man's interview. "The first part of it brought about by a statement published in the newspapers which is absolutely untrue, and if the senator uad read the News and Courier. Mr. Caldwell's report, he would have seen the difference. I did nnf ctato na minted hv Senator Till man, and as published in the Columbia Record: "Senator Tillman ruined himself with Che people of South Carolina in just the same manner, when he went about lecturing instead of remaining in Washington and attending to the business in the senate." What I said, and now rqpeat, was that Senator Tillman broke his health down and ruined his usefulness to the people of South Carolina by running around over tne country delivering lectures and overworking himself. I repeat that now. 1 "I was also misquoted in the paper as to what I said about Secretary of State Bryan. I said nothing about him drawing two salaries, because anybody with good sense knows that a matter *of holding a public office and appearing on the platform are not in conflict with each other, so far as the salary is concerned: but what I said was that I did not think that the secretary of state of this great nation should he going around , a chautauqua circuit under the management of some little fellow like a circus rider, under a ring-master, and l sun tmnK mat it is Deneatn me dignity of the position which Mr. Bryan holds for him to so act.

TILLMAX CRITICISES BRYAN. Says Secretary of State Should Quit The Lecture Platform. Washington, July 16.?Today's New York Herald says: "Senator Tillman, who confesses that at one time he made $25,000 a year on the lecture platform during vacations of congress, said he never had neglected his official duties to fill lecture engagements. He regretted Mr. Bryan's dvotion to tme piairorm. "It is a perfectly legitimate way to make money," he said, "but I regret to hear of Mr. Bryan doing it. Just at this time, when there is so much important work before his department, I would prefer to have hLm stay in Wasington. He could better afford to impoverish himself than to appear to neglect his official duties. "The impression prevails?though I don't know how well'founded it is? that Mr. Bryan has made a great deal of 'money since 1896. He has published two or three books, owns the Commoner, which has a wide circulation, and has lectured extensively. I love the man so much I hate to see him do anything that will belittle him in the eyes of the people as this certainly will do. Wihile his speaking tours will serve a good purpose in that he always preaches true democracy, and patriotism and Christian living, he can never again appear as a Knight errant of democracy."

An Aged Man's Plea. Anderson Mail. Gov. Blease has made an appeal to the president of the United States for clemency for Milton A. Carlisle of Newberry. This is a most remarkable appeal in many ways. It comes from one who has himself beenmer ciful and has for the first time sought pity- he wishes mercy for his former client. It comes from the governor of the State who ihas had many bitter things to say of the man froia *hom he is now seeking leniency, aid therefore shows the governor in a new attitude. When the governor had issued his , 500th pardon and parole, this paper called attention to the fact that, so far as we then knew, not one had betrayed the kindness and generosity of tne governor. We are of those -who dplore releasing bo many prisoners, especially murderers, but the governor's treatment of the prisoner ers wfoom he has m feeeessdr ers whom he has freed seems to have been eitiher very wise or very lucky, and is food for serious thought. He has reached the 700 mark and. we have heard of but one who "fell down." Prisons are made for correction rather than for punishment. The government is stern but not brutal. If the crime ihas been atoned sufficiently,' why not show mercy? Let this I poor old man escape the actual phy-, sical confinement, Mr. President. He ihas suffered deeply in his soul. He was charged with bettering his own personal financial standing by using the office of president of a bank? causing borrowers to pay him an ad ditional fee?ibu.t tiie record does not show that the bank suffered. Listen to the plea of the governor, Mr. President, and the lesson of mercy and pity and magnanimity will not be lost upon the people of South Carolina.
