The political contest between
the two senators is cancelled:
for this year, at least. Senator j
McLaurin thinks too much of
the "dear people and the Slate" to
stir up a heated campaign with ,
the senii r senator. McLuurin
has found a loophole of escape in
tho fact that Governor McSweeney
simply advised "ni< re time for con-1
sideration," and sn^estcd an "olf
year in p ilitics." But this does
not satisfy the many thousand
1 )einoci at ic voters who were anxiously
awaiting the explanation ol
the junior senator's act ions in the
senate during the past session of
that body.
It was not surprising, at all, to
hear that Mr. MrLauriu had with- ]
drawn his resignation, for it has
been exp-cted all alotio that, as
soon as he realized what a foolish
step he had t..ken, and that it
meant certain defeat for him, lie '
would "crawfish" ou the first op
port unity.
Senator McLaurin is the first
mid (inly man the Democracy (if
this State lias ever sent to the sen- !
ate who has betrayed his trust,
and his refusal to resign simply I
means that South Carolina is to he |
luisrcpreHeuled in the United
States Senate another year, at j
least, if no humor.

saying, in a let er to tlieiu, thai
they had better have more time
for serious consideration before
taking that action as it. would have
joave effects upon the people of
the State, who only last year had

would l)?' a cithiinity to tin* State
to he torn asunder by a heated j
canvass in this "off year" in politics,
and in view of these facts he
would decline their resiiniations
i I
and respectfully return them.
Senator Tillman, upon receipt of
the governor's refusal to accept
the resignations, replies, in part,
as follows:
Your excellency, of course, has
the right and it is entirely proper
to return my resignation and advise
more serious consideration.]
In declining to accept, I am sure
you have transcended your authority.
11 will take very little consideration
and reflection to convince
you of this. You cannot
compel a member of the l uited
States Senate to hold his commission
and exercise the functions of
that office if lie chooses to surrender
it. My action in tendering
my resignation, while hasty, was
not ill advised, and I am tirmly
convinced of the wisdom of my
course upon r flection.
It is somewhat remarkable that
you should ask the senators
who have resigned to take time to
Kinaiuri, >v urn ,>*'*1 yiMiiwru iirr
reported to be ready to appoint
two senators in "two minutes and
and a half" after receiving immediate
resignation.
Von deelare that the "people are
entitled to one year of penee and
freedom from political battles and
bitterness" I am ready to no
knowledge that this is very de- >
sirable, but our race has ever
thought war preferable to dish uior,
and unless I am very much deceived.
a large majority of the
people of South Carolina would lie
triad of an opportunity to punish
treachery and have those principles
and policies which they support
loyally represented in the
Congress of the I'niteil States.
W hat you "consider a calamity" ,
would be hailed by thousands as
an opportunity to get rid of a
traitor who now in their opinion
disgraces the commonweal!h.
Holding this view I decline for
the present to withdraw my resignation.
It was tendered in order
to secure the resignation of Senator
Mcliittiriu and will not he withdrawn
until lie has shown his unwillingness
to let our people pass
upon his conduct t his year instead
of next. He declares in his latest
interview tlint lie "will speak on
such invilalioiis as lie did at 'iatlney
when p issihle and will not
eonsent to any i iiterferenee by
Senator Tilhnan or anybody else."
Whether or not Mr. Melnnrin will
he allowed to do this remains to
lie seen. If the people have a
right to hear him, the same people
have a right to hear me and ot ln r.-.
lie no longer seems to have anxiety
about his health and if allowed to
speak by himself, rather enjoys
I he prospect.
As will be seen by the following
extracts, fioin a letter to (Jovertior
MeSweeney on Monday, Senator
McLauriii "has shown his unwillingness
to let our people pass up
on his conduct this year:"
1 appreciate fully the force of
the reasons given by you, and the
effects upon the people of the
Slate of a heated ami strife-producing
contest for I'nitel St iles
Senator this year. Kor the sake of
the "peace, prosperity and liapp II
ess of I lie p? ople of this Slide," I
am willing to hold on to my commission
as a lulled Stales Sena
t??r, mid to continue to Hervo the
State as 1 have done in the pas
to the "best of my ability." Ibit
in retaining my seat in the senate,
I will not consent to bo "bossed
by any one claiming a riltIit to
judjje my motives and actions. I
propose to exercise my judgment
on all national questions under the
inlliienee of a tie^h s? 11-?? of re
sp nisil>iIiI v to tin* people, and to
work for the upbuilding of the political
and material interests of my
Stale. I recooni'.e fully nty ace
untability to the sovereign people,
and am always ready to tjivea
strict account of my otllcial acts
to tlietn.
1 n ci use tiling to hold my commission,
I wish it understood that
it is in response to your patriotic
appeal that it is for the good of
the State and not because I feared
to iro before the people and discuss
with the senior senator or others
the national issues of the day. I
am a public servant of tin* people,
ami it is my duly and pleasure always
to promote their interests. ,
