tive A. F. [.fever this evening gave out t
the following statement with refer- t
I ence to the correspondence publish- n
'K ed in the News and Courier SundVi t
between Senator Tillman and the j r
H President and Postmaster General p
,1 Burlesor. and between Senator Till-1 i
W nian and Governor Manning: i v
W "No friend of mine has been author- c
ized $o say that the administration h
was backing my candidacy for the f
senate. I have not sought such an en- c
dorsement. I am sure I have its good L
will, but under date of May 11, when h
I called the attention of Gen. Burle- f
son to the fact that a certain promi-l's
I nent friend of Senator Tillman was 1
r circulating the report that the latter L
would produce a letter from Gen. Bur- ii
leson saving that the administration a
wanted him to run and was behind | i]
him, Gen. Burleson wrote me on the ' >
same date in substance what Senator s
Tillman has had in his correspondence
from the administration. I quote a n
single sentence: 'In reply there to s
you may accept my assurance that as a
between you and Senator Tillman v
there has been no action taken by this p
administration which could be con- p
^ strued al a departure in the slightest r
from its fixed policy from which it 't
r does not vary, to refrain from any in-1 c
terference as between friends equally s
loyal to our country and with records
of efficient service/ . L
"The General goes on to say, that s
as between two Democrats, one for. E
and the other antagonistic to the ad- :
;
ministration, the administration mighr. j t
take a hand, and then significantly g
' ? ~ ?- 'V* A f
adds, 'with your entrance niu> mc contest,
of course, the situation is S
cnan^ed.' ! *"

"This is all I have to say touching ~
"T_
This phase of the matter except to.
( with Gen. Burleson in the hope
I 1 C
L nothing will be said, or done
j "which will cause a breach in the long 0
and friendly relations which have ex-, "
isted between Senator Tillman and n
me. I refuse to fuss. There is a com- 0
mon enemv to occupy our energies at, "
-our very door. . .
i 1:
"As to the controversy between the (
Senator and Governor Manning, I' t
"have no comment to make further .
i ij
than to say that I have not entered ^
this race as the candidate of any man, i p
set of men, or " faction. T go into it
with one creed, and only one, in mind, *
100 -per cent Americanism, coupled
with 100 per cent active efficiency for *
the things that make it necessary to *
win war." K. F. M. < *

LeTer Refuses to Follow Suit.
Columbia. June 4.?Congressman j *
Lever has reneged. Pie was in the *
* game, but he refused to follow suit *
The club leaa was a little too much *
i m
tor him, and he was thrown off. It
puts him out of the game, of course? *
"but he might as "well have gone on *
and followed suit and been a goodJ *
loser. However, the puDiicauon oi me
"Manning-Tillman correspondence, in *
which Manning's hand was forced up- *
on the table, was too much for him. *
"He couldn't stick, and he pitched in f *
an off-suit. The great trouble was ! *
that even in a a-ame of chance, fanci- i *
v ?
fully figuring upon the great vote of I *
the people of South Carolina as a j *
. stake which they might bandy among *
them, they would not take a shot at

a milder form instead. 'Had they been
playing poker, with the people's vote
as the fanciful stake, Mr. Lever might
"have laid down his cards, face down.
Uut it was a game in which it wa3
necessary under the rules, to stick to
The lead?and Mr. Lever simply could
not stand it. and he has thrown in
the off card. Of course one can't get'

11 of which means that the trutn c

n the Charlestcn American sohk
t*eeks ago. But the White House was ^
oy, and neither Tillman nor Lever r

nit "administration letters/' Mr. t
,ever must, too, do likewise, and he s
ias come across also with a letter *
rom Postmaster Burleson, of the

s the Burleson letter to Tillman was ^
a reply to a letter from Tillman j *?

on wrote him: "In
