PHASES OF OUR POLITICS. THAD. E. HORTON WRITES OF OUR POLITICAL SITUATION. A Georgia Journalist's Impression of ti?e Administration --Political Chit Chaat that May or stav Not Come to Pass. COLUIBIA, S. C.. May 10.-Outwardly the political situation in this State is quiet, but one does not need to go very far belowv the surface to find the same elemcnts of discord that made the last campaign the hottest and bitterest ever known. The lines between the Tillmanites and the anti-Tillmanites are as clearly drawn as they ever were. There has been no burying of the hatchet, no making up of old quarrels since the new administration came in. The policy of the administration does not seem to have been cast with any view to winning friends from the opposition. and with the exception of a few indi viduals, it is probable that there has been little change in the ranks of the two factions since last summer's hot fight. -In the endeavor to find how Gov. Tillman's administration is pleasing the people, I have been met with just this state of affairs. The men who put Tillman in the gubernatorial chair are disposed to yield unquestioning sup port to his administration. The men who fought to keep him out of that chair are inclined, ;is a rule, to criticize his actions very closely and to freely impugn his motives. The vinegar and gall of the last campaign are too fresh in memory to permit of perfectly un biased judgment on either side. There are, of course, many exceptions. A considerable element of the opl.osi tion to Tillman are disposed to hold off and give him a chance to show what he can do, allowing him full credit for his good deeds and excusing what seem to be errors rather of judgment than of heart. I think I find here, however, a pretty general admission that the Tillman ad ministration has not differed radically one way or the other from preceding administrations. It has been a clean sweep. About all the "ins" are outs, certainly, and as many "out" are in as could get there. But the State is get ting-along remarkably well. There has been no financial upheaval, in fact South Carolina was never more pros perous. Its industrial development has not been checked one iota, and the in flow of capital and new population is ncreasing. None of the "tales of woe," sung so lugubriously by the extreme opponents of Tiilman have been real ized. No sensible man expected that they would be. Only a return to carpet bag rule would check the State's mate -.ria re-awakening. "What of the next campaign ?" It is a long way off yet, but it is being When I asked Gov. Tillman about it he said it was too far off to talk about it now. "It will be a bitter fight. will it not ?" I queried. -"It couldn't be bitterer than the last," he said, with a laugh. Since the defeat of Wade Hampton for the Senate there has been a feeling -throughout the State that the next campaign would largely turn on that incident, and that either Gen. Hampton -.1bimself or some man representing him would be put forward as the anti-ad 1,ministration candidate for the guber natorial nomination. There is hardly a doubt, according to -my best information, that that is ex Saetly what will be done. The siiuation 'may change completely before 1892. but unless it does it is more than likely ,that if Hampton himself does not op pose Tillman, the man who does will be one whose election could be consid ' --ered a vindication of Hampton. .. This is taking it for granted, as every boy==ltmanites and anti's-is doing, that Tillman will be a candidate for re eleetion. 0f 'this there can be hardly a doubts j asked the Governor if he would run again, and he. of course, de elined tosay either "yes" or "no," but the Iagi. c of the situation makes it al most'certain he will. oThe State officials decline to talk . about the next campaign for pubhica tion, but I gather from conversations with various administration leaders thUat they look for last year's struggle to be repeated in the coming campaign, 4-with perhaps added heat and bitter w esand that they expect the fight to -be between Tillman and Hampton. f.Said a prominent Tillmanite to me: "I 'can tell you now that the cam w~rnin this State next year will be -dples on the one hand and Hampton ZaniL Cleveland on the other. I other Swords, the Farmers' Movement will 4: fight to:-re-elect Tlllman or Tillman's Scandidate, and to send adelegation to henational convention pledged to sup ~i;port no candidate who opposes free sil ver, while the. opposition will battle to Savenge Hampton's defeat for the Sen Sate and to capture the delegatlon for' Cleveland., The ~me speaker pointed to the re Scent H pton ovationi at Augusta on Memorial Day, and the coming Colum bl a Centennial, at which Gen. Hamp ton will be the chief igure, as steps in ~~carefuly prepared programme to arouse the old soldier sentiment and the '76 fever in preparation for the next campaign. ~~This mray be taken as the Tillmanite horoscope. What I can learn from the -,-- other side leads me to believe that itis in part a mistaken one. 'There is no evidence that the demon strations in favor of Gen. Hampton are the result of any rolitical plan. They are certainly to be attributed in a large -measure, to his rejection by the Till manite Legislature, but that they have any political significance for the future 'seems more than doubtful. SThere is at present no organization of the opposition nor any definite nucleus for one, and 1 do not think that azny plan of campaign has even been form -" ulated, much less put in operatlon, Gen. Ham pton's friends are divided as to the wisdomn or expediency of calling on him to endure the strain of a heated campaign. Many of them consider that the humiliation of a defeat under the circumstances would be too great to take any risks on, and favor putting L'forward a candidate who would repre :~;sezit the principles Gen. Hampton represets and whose election would amount to Hampton's vindication. A prsetive element of bitterness in hcoming campaign will be The at titude of the party in power to the Haskellites. A gentleman high up in administra tion councils tells me that it is by no means certain that the men who voted ' for Haskell in the Iass campaign will be allowed to participate in the party councils or vote in the primaries next year. "They have left the Democratic party of their own free will," he says, "and I don't see how they can expect to vote in a Democratic primary. Certainly, un less they give very definite and satis factory assurance that they will sup port the nominee, they should not be allowed to take part in the primaries." If this position is adhered to, it may be-expected to infuse into t he comning contesf a heat and acrirmoniousness ex ceeding that of tne last campaign. The recent interuiews with Gov. Till man and Col. Talbert, the State A11l1 Sance lecturer and superintendent of the penitentiary, given in the Journal, have directed attention to the diverg ing views of these two leaders in the reform movement. This difference is interesting, as seeming to presage a pretty fight in the not far distant future. It is recalled that Gov. Tillman op d the sub-treasury bili anid the use - ard stick." Col. Talbert is flat -the bill and believes every should be measured by it - ference is that Gmov. Tillman doez not me isure up to Col. Talbert's id-ial of a lN al Allianceian. "Uncle Georg-" Til man, the Gov ernor's brother, who now represeats the Stcond Congressiot al district, is an Alliancenan, and holds to the same anti-sub-treasury views as his brother Ben. Measured bv Col Talbert's "yard stiek" it would appear that "Uncle Oeorgl" has no business in the Alli ance, much less in Cona-ress as a repre sentative of Alliancemien. IIereby iiangs the tale, for it is be lieved in m.ny quarters that Col. Tal bert has an eye on the second district and that t.e next campaign will spe him qghting George D. Tillman for t he seat with the sub-tr asury as the issue. Thatt would mean a break with Ben. Tillnan, of whom he has been an ar dent supporter heretofore. This is the talk here. I'i my interview with Col, falbert he said nothing to justifo such conclusions. These are some of the phases of the political situation in Carolina as they strike an outsider. TIAD E. HORTON.

A Horse Thief Turns the Tables on a Con stable. }TILLSBOiRO, Texas, May .-Consta ble George W. McCluskey, whose baili wick is in the western part of Ilill County, Texas, met with an experience yesterday that will long remain fresh in his memory. Ile arrested a man giving his na:n'i as C. C. Lewis, on two charges of horse stealing pendin; in the courts of Dallas, Texas, against him. He kept the pris.ner and the al leged stoleu stock in his possession and charge for some hours. When he start ed fur Hillsborro, some thirty miles dis tant, for the purpose of reporting to Sheriff Cox wit h his booty, Lewis suc ceeded in convincing the constable that it was all a mistake about his having stolen the property, and on his trip to Hillsboro McClusky omitted t> hand cuff his prisoner. The officer necked the two alleged stolen horses together, placed his prisoner on one and rode the other himself. After they had traveled a short distance Lewis. who was much larger than the officer, sud denly turned in his saddle and dealt McCluskey a blow with his fist which for the time being rendered him un conscious, and also dismounted him. Lewis then dismounted, secured the officer's pistol and proceeded to beat him up in an unmerciful manner. Con stable McClu .key regaining his senses, and finding his pistol gone, pleaded with his late prisoner for his life. The later finally desisted from his blows, covered the officer with his pistol he had robbed him of, forced him to- take a pair of handcuffs from his pockets and lock himself to a barb-wire fence near by and then throw the key to the lock on the handcuffs in a brush pile. Lewis then robbed the officer of $140 in cash, which he had in his pocket, swapped hats with him,shot one of the horses dead, mounted the other, and withhis captor's line saddle, pistol, brand new hat and the money above mentioned in his possession, coolly tip ped his hat to Officer McCluskey, and after wishing him good luck proceeded on his journey as though nothing had transpired to mar theserenity of the surroundings. Parties passing along the road after the lapse of sometime discovered the unfortunate otlicer's predicament, and liberated him by breaking the fence wire. Every effort made thus far to effect the capture of thismodern Claud Duval has proved futile. At this time there are twenty Texas sheriffs on the look-out for Lew is. It is not thought, however, that it will be possible to ca'ch him without bloodshed, as capture would inevitably result in 'many years confinement in the penitentiary lor him. Officer Mc Cluskey is badly beaten and bruised up and is very much chagrined to think he could be so thoroughly taken in. IlIe is regarded as one of the bravest and most humane officers in Texas. Detective O'Malley Speaks. NEW ORLEANS. May. 7.-The papers here published a full column statement by Detecive D. C. O'Malley, giving an account of his career since his arrival in this city in 1878. It gives the details of his employment by a number of re spectable peeple and his connection with several famous criminal cases, in some of whica he assisted the State. He then goes over the old Matranga Provenzano case and finally the Hen nessy case. He reasserts his belief tat the five Italians who were tried for murdering Hennessy were innocent. O'Malley says: "As to my theory of the murder I have one of course, but in the absence of any direct evidence I should not like to say what that theory is. It is certainly not any Mafia or dago business. Perhaps I may, at some Iu ture day, speak farther on this subject, at which tig~ie I will have something to substantiate the statement I may make. I will advance no theory now, as by so doing I may throw suspicion on porties who may be pet fectly innocent." in conclusion O'Malley says: "I desire to say this conscious of my innocence, and in opposition to the advice of my friends I refused to leave the city, and surrend ered as soon as I had intimation that I had been indicted. I am not afraid of ai investigation and only ask for a fair trial. My life has been threatened and it is being bruited about that after I sgall have been allowed to enjoy a form of trial, if the jury should ne weak enough or foolish enough to acquit me, I shall not be permitted to live in this community. I cannot make up my mind to believe that this represent the sense of this community." Fatal Rtailroad Accident SHEPPARD, Mich., May 12--At 10 o'clock last night an extra freight train from the North approaching the yard here ran into fourteen loaded log cars, wrecking engine No. 20 and a caboose.
