I am conscious of the fact that a great j majority of the people of this state have for me both affection and respect. My conscience is clear for I have done what appeared to me my | plain duty.

Tn 1S90, the farming class were in bad shape; cotton was below the cost of production and ruin stared us in the face. You may have been sincere wnen you started but power ruined you^ You borrowed money from your brother, George to begin on, and then you betrayed him because Talbert had the Allianc; backing. You -were in debt and vou needed money. Larry Gantt suggested the State dispensary and visions of REBATL ^Ued your eyes You got up the nrst uoard, a dogfa^ed Baptist deacon and a smarl Columbia lawyer, yourself, and a liquor merchant from -Charleston You gave the lawyer enough to gel rid of him and you and the deacon and linijor seller took all the pie In order to fill your pockets witt rebates, you turned Joose Diood, murder and the vilest corruption evei known on South Carolina. Your liquor constables had instructions, from you to ignore the sanctity of any man's home. You imported professional gunmen to overawe and terrorize people, while you and your filthy crew were lining your pockets. You made war on the town of Darlington, and then fled like a dirty coward for protection to the penitentiary, while other men were offering their lives to fight your battles. You have arrayed class against class, and brother against brother n order to fill your pockets and gratify your ambition. You denounced people in 1890, who- rode- on free passes and "Bunch McBee" issued pass No. 1. which you joyfully took. You were accidentally caught, and have kept it up., for 1 read of a bunch of free passes you lost from your pqckets traveling o-it west. You made a speech in the Senate, trying to get certain measures adopted about the public lands in Oregon. Roosevelt put a dectective on your trail and "caught you with the goods." You went into office a bankrupt. Wnw ^nnlrl vrm sunnrvrt a familv in Washington on your salary and get rich? Hampton, whom you displaced, died almost a pauper. General Butler, as noble and true a man as ever lived whom you defeated, died very poor. >You arc reported to be a millionaire with lands in Oregon, High Point, N. C., the State of Washington, Missouri aid several plantations iu South Carolina. Your brutal nature has the upper hand. You arrogantly invite anybody, who don't like -your black record, to go to hell. Take care you nay meet them there. The blood you caused to be shed in Darlington ani elsewhere cries out from the groun-1 You are now old and feeble, yet 30 avaricious that you are not willing to take time to die decently. You are envious and jealous. You have insidiously tried to undermine5 the reputation of every senator sent from this state as a colleague. McLaurin bloodied your nose on the floor of the Senate; Latimer feared you, and Smith despises you. What are Blease's worst faults com pared to your record? Instead of having citizens murdered by paid hirelngs, he made too fre* a use of the power of mercy. He has no dispe.isary rebates or Oregon lands to answer for. He has not betrayed his brother, nor tried to rob a mother of her children as yon did. No, Senator, T vill not accept your invitation to go to hell.
