TILLMAN^LKSTH
Mo Will Not Anav/er tho Gover
nor's Last Lottor,
OOE8 KOR MCLAURIN.
Says tho Junior Senator Acted
Dishonorably. In Withdrawing;
His RoBlgnaMon. as it Wat
a Joint Compact
Tho Columbia State saya whon Sona
tor Tillman pnsBod through that oity
Wodnoaday on his way to Hook Hill,
ho had not reooivod Gov. Mo?wooney'a
M letter but was shown aoopy of it a* gi von
to tho prosB. Ho road this ar.d thon
said that ho saw vory little in it to oall
for notioo from him. "Ho's a Httlo
hot ho fools that bis dignity has boon
outragod a Httlo, oto., oto. Ho doesn't
say anything about tho really important
point, that ho had olaiinod tho right to
dooliuo tho resignations. I aoknowl
odgod that ho had tho right to roturn
tho resignations but ho did not stop
thorn. Ho went on to assumo an au
thority ho did not possoss."
Tho senator'was thon askodif ho had
noticed that Gov. MoS svoonoy was re
coiving a groat maoylettora of oom
mondation in rogard to his oourso in
this matter. Ho answorod that ho I ad
?nd thon wont on t) say: ,lI notioo
that most of tho iottors ho has roooivod
aro from my old, invotorato, dyed-in
thowool enemies, t also soo that ho
has reooivod ono from a Richmond
capitalist. It is rather roumkablo that
our governor should bo taking tho ad
vico of mon from Richmond in regard
to local mattors.
LETTING MCLAURIN OUT."
"Tho huo and cry that has boon
raisod about 'breaking tho poaoo?' and
interrupting tho ' prosperity of tho
State' has boon tho main lovorof those
oppoacd to this otmpaign and Gov.
MoSwoony himsolf has used it as an
oxouso for lotting Mc hanl in out of his
dilommn. Next year, judging by the
last oanvass, wo will have at least 25
oandidatos for State oiiioos. Thcro will
not bo loss than (ive or six aspirants
for MoLsurin's B??t, Thero will bo,
thon, an aggregation of 30 mon going
around over tho Stato attempting to
disouss publie question? and BIIOW-their
fitness fer thc highost o?uooa in inc gift
of tho pooplo.
"Tho only possiblo result will bo that
MoLaurin will claim, if ho ontors tho
raoo then, that ho is hoing double
teamed on and norsooutod and ought
to havo moro timo than his opponent?,
whioh, of oourso, will he unfair to
thom, for no roan oan disousB thoso
mattors in loss than an hour or an
hour and a half. So that with five
oandidatos for senator it will tako all
day for their discussions. Hut this
year wo would havo had an opportuni
ty to disouss these mattors without re
ference to anything olso.
"Gov. MoSwoonoy has dofoatod it and
lent himself to MoL vurin as a ladder
of escapo. Now if tho pooplo think ho
is right of oourso 1 oan do nothing
but tako what oomos. 1 havo offered
myself as a target to bo shot at and
was ready to permit a combination bo
tweon any candidato Gonzalos might
havo gotten out with tho MoLaurin
following. And 1 boliovo that as tho
pooplo understand fully tho result of
Gov. MoSwoonoy's notion that instead
of patting himsolf on tho baok and
taking tho Httlo dozon or two dozen or
forty or a hundred Iottors ho has re
ooivod as a consensus of public opinion
ho will find that ho bas inado an aw
ful blunder as a Democrat.
"I think tho primary noxt sumtnor,
unless somo sohomo is arranged by tho
Dornooratio committee to havo a double
sot of oanvassors mcoting oaoh other
from opposito sides of tho Stato, will
bo a faro a. Thirty mon cannot getup
and addross anybody with any satis
faotion to thomsolvos or anybody elso
in ono day. All of tho minor oandi
datos will have to bo ruled out. Thero
aro somo pooplo in tho Stato who would
bo glad to kill tho primary."
Boing asked if ho would rosign his
Boat and ontcr tho raco against Mo
Laurin next smmor, ho said: "I will
not enter tho primary noxt year. I
only resigned to got at MoLaurin. I
novor would havo gono to G*lfnoy but
for tho fnot that tho oandidatos who
wanted to got at him woro not in a
position to do so, and ho was taking
advantago of tho situation to go about
the country propagating Hopublioau
dootrines. Thoro will bo plenty of oth
ors to attond to him next years-if ho
don't got siok And by tho way, that
sioknoss of his is rather funny. NojW/
you soo it and now you don't/' -
"I was invltod to Newberry," ho said
"but deolinod on tho ?r0und that I had*
alroady an appojp,iinont to speak at tho
..-WSKuenoomont and did not
' want to speak thoro twioo within a fow
wooks."
A QUESTION Ol' HONOR.
"In regard to this qtostion of
whothor I am ontitlod to rosign or not,
if Sonator MoLaurin did not havo a
Hopublioau sonnto in Washington th it
would almost ourtaioly maintain that
ho has tho right to withdraw bis resigna
tion, I would contest tho matter thoro;
but as ho is in full aooord with that
orowd thoy aro not going to vacate his
Boat and establish a prccodont. Hois
tho first man, though, in tho 12b years
that WO have had a government that
ovor roBigned and afterwards withdrew
his resignation, BO far as my investiga
tions go. This is not a parliamentary
quostion at all. i is a question of
honor. Ho mado a oonipaot with mo
and amen g gonthmm buch nompaots
are not broken unless both parties aro
willing to do so. Ho has flunked out
of this proposition through G v Mo
Swoonoy'n instrumentalities. If I had
known ho was go mg to try (his gatno
and that tho governor was going io al
low him to got out I could havo writ- j
ton tho reuig taii )in uni som thom to
Hoosovolt. But I was not looking that
far ahead, Ho was making out as if hu
was 'spiling for a Tight' and I really
thought ho was ready for tho fray.
"Tho olaim that a vacancy had to bo
oroated boforo any action oould bo
tftkon by tho Di mooral io executive
committee is oontrary to all precedent.
Sonator MoLaurin's t?rm will not bc
ondod uatil the 4th of Maroh, 1903; but
his BuooosBor will bo ohoson at tho
Domooratio primary in August, 1008.
?nd tho legislature in January will
obey tho ordors of tho pooplo at tho
primary, two months boforo his torm
expires.
Tho senator wao askod what plano ho
would havo pitohod tho campaign upon
this Bnmmor. Ho said: "I would havo
pitched it upon as high a plano as I
would hevo boon allowed. Mr. DoUamp
boro," ho said, "was at Gaff noy and ho
knows that MoLaurin bagan his spoooh
with personalities and that gavo mo an
oxouse for doing as I did.
AS TO M EDD II NO.
"Tho effort to mako mo appear as a
meddler won't wash whon tho pooplo
think lt all out. Tho pooplo will got
moro aud moro diasatUnod at tho gov
ernor's aotion whon thoy fully roaliio
its oonscquonoos.
.'In rogard to that spcolal from Ben-.
nottBvillo that Mr. MoLaurln has an
explosivo in storo; it is vory strango
that ho doos not uto tho ammunition.
Mr. MoLaurin ought to ho ashamed of
himself to bavo such insinuations mado
publiowhon bo is too oowardlyto with?
draw and fight it out no*.'*
Asked if ho thought tho Domooratio
party of South Ofelias, endorsed bio
views, ho aoswerod (hat ho was satis
fied that ho had tho party bohind him
"Tho Stato oonvontion olootod by tho
people," ho said, "adopted tho platform
of prinoiplos whioh was for muh ted by
Gol. Hoyt. Thoro io not a thing in tho
Stato platform that is not io tho na
tional platform. Tho Kansas City plat
form is f uMor and oovors moro ground,
that's all. Every plank of tho State
platform is inoorporatod in tho national
onuooiation of prinoiplos."
"Will you ausworGov, MoSwoonoj's
barter to resign immodiatolyV"
"Why should 1 pay any attention to
it. I bavo bc on acouscd of aoting liko
a sohool boy in this matter, but his ao
tion is eohool-boyiBh from tho grown

Thoro has boon a slight improvement in

"This decision, Uko tho Dred Scott

"In order to fully understand thoBO
opinions it must bo known that in ruling
that tho Dingley tariff ratos oould jot

not aot on tbo theory that tho constitu

"This ruling was i ado bremse, in
tho opinion of tho oourt, a law onaotod

"In othor words, if immodtatoly af tor

After an e xtonded summa-y of Jus

throughout tho najirity opinion,

tboro was a robbor in tho building, and
that ho had lightod a lamp and was
