Ho Regards tho Action cf Oom* mlttoo as Ridiculous ard of No Legal Effect or Weight. Sonator Mc V-iaurin roplios ao follows to tho notion of tho Stato Domooratio Kxootivo oom ,n it too: Paris Mountain, 8, C., August 5th, IDOL To tho Domooratio Executive Gommit too, Stato of South Carolina. Gontlomon: Tho official notioo of tho aotion of a majority of your oom mittoo of July 25th waa rcooivod by mo on August let, livo days aftor it had boon announood in tho nowspapors. This publish announoomont was tho fi rut notioo I had that any aotion a?eoting mo was to bo falcon by your oommittoo. I am now offioia";' informed that tho majority of your oommittoo condon?is my oourao in tho oonato, demanda my resignation and undortakou to oxpol mo from tho Domooratio party. Twenty one mon havo attomptcd to uflurb tho powers of tho 90,000 Domoaratio votera of South Carolina and, as an iooidont, in a mooting Called for anothor purpose, havo hastily ondoavorod to do what Can bo dono only by solomn proooodiug of impoaohmont, oxprosslv-nrovidcd for in tho constitution of tho United States. I hold my oomminion from tho D imo oratio votora of South Carolina. J rooognizo no authority but thoirt, tako no orders from aay Kouroj but thom, and shall in duo oourso appoal to th?m for judgmont on my oour oes? non* fir, ; -?rnd my oharaotor as iv man and a Djnio erat? Poroonally I am indifferent, to your action booauso nobody baH mado you my master or ojnsor, and J. rogard what you havo dono aa meroly oxpro?oing tho malioo and tho fc?r3 of ono individual, Sonator Ii. lt. Tillman. Hut for this olways ovil and indooont mflaonoo, ordioary respcot for tho proprictios, f would probably havo proventod tho four of you who aro my doolarod oompati tors for tho soat 1 now havo tho honor to Occupy, from attempting to uso tho powor ontrustod to you by your party to romovo a rival from your path. An a oitizou and Domoorat of South Carolina, I am mortified by your aotion, booauso it has brought upon tho Stato tho condemnation and thu ridioulo of tho press and public throughout tho ?country,1 Unhappily, thoso who aro ; riot intimity ?o<juaintcd with our oon <lit?o?i8 aocopj the tv^tionl otjywr-i** j or? ty as ropro?ohliug ' flio intolligonoo ?nd Domooraoy of our Stato and both aro J nado obj join of dormi on. Against this I wish to entor my solomn protost. I shall domonstrato how unfair, absurd undemocratic your aotionis; and 1 shall trust to tho Democrats of South Caro lina to ropudiato it when tho oppor tunity is given thom. Your purpose is to dony that opportunity. It is in strong oontrast with tin blatant boast of Sjnator Tillman at ?affnoy to put mo on tri*! before tho party on tho hustings with himself as proBcoutor. As you know, I sought that tost by aooopting a proposal of ap poal to tho pooplo, but tho govornor saw i?t to forbid it. Now Sonator Tillman appoars as pron jenter against mo in my absonoo and by proooodings liko thoso of tho star chamber, whioh was tho most infamous tribunal of English his tory, and tho mont abhorrent to Anglo-. Saxon instinots, Books to oxoiudo mo froin-party and its dobatos and publio assomblagos. It is your duty, au cus todians of tho party intorosts, to sock recruits and to etrongthon tho party. To save Senator Tillman from staking his roooid, strongth and fortunos against mine, you undortako to oxoiudo mo and my fnombi from tho party. What ever your individual motives may have boon, tho purport of your aotion is to ?aoilitato tho sonator in dodging mo and to dony tho pooplo tho opportunity of passing on my positions and oonduot. It scorns to mo tho Domooratio masses of South Carolina aro oompctont lo say at tho polls whothor or not I havo boen a a faithful sonator and a oomnstont Domoorat. Why should you attempt io pro Vont them? lt is no oauso for wonder that Sena tor Tillman should sock to inako politi cal assassins of you to avoid opon and . tair fight. Ho has olimbod to powor by vonoruoua abuso of many of tho puroBt mon in tho stato who opposed him, for whioh ho has alu?ys carefully shirked prsonal responsibility, and on tho po litioal livos and fortunos of thoso who bofriondod him while ho nooded frionda. Norris, Tindal and Donaldson, mon roprosonting oarnost purposo and tho intorosts of tho farmers of tho stato, and, thcroforo, strong, woro usod by him to promoto his own intorosts ?nd thon thrust asido. Irby, Shell and Ifarloy died despising him booauso of his treachery to thom and to tho poo plo. I ara now in his way, and bcoamo ho has failed to ?ur.ko mo down, ho in oitos you to attempt lo stranglo mo, and at tho same timcto dostroy a white primary, to hie advooaoy of which ho osved muoh of the best of his oarly fol lowing. Party jrnoiplcs aro fixed, and io tho prinoipiou of tho Domooratio jparty I havo boon uniformly faithful. Party polioiosaro determined from timo to timo by party okotious and conven tions and no man, nor body of mon, has tho power to say botweon thoso doo tions what policies shall bo tho tests of party loyally. Senator Tillmau is as suming tho prorogative of tsupromo boss and dictator to say who bhall or shall not no bo regarded as a Dcmicrat next yoar .^Ldo not ooaocdo any auoh pow er to him nor to you. Ho, or all of your oommittoo togcthor, has not tho powor to oxoiudo from candidaoy nor tho polls at tho Domooratio primary tho humblost oitiz3n ot South Caroliua who doolaroa himself to bo a Domoorat and pledges himsolf to support tho nomi n?os. Supposo in 18D0 tho exooutivo oommittoo of tho stato had ruled out of tho party.all who ongaged in tho "far mers' movomont?" Supposo two years later it had oxoludod all who favcrod tho sUb-troasury idoa? Suoh aotion would havo boon unjust, tyranioal and insulting to thousands of good citizens and Douioorats, but not moro BO than thin proceeding of yours. In his double oharaotor as prosoout ing witnofiti and attornoy against mo, Sonator Tillman is roportod as saying boforo your oominittoo that I have votod with tho ltopublioans "in impor tant matters," and that ho haB Boen mo oooforring with llopublioan senators. AB I will show by tho rooords, ho hiin Bolf froquontly voted with tho ?opub lioans ''in important mattors," nu all othor Domooratio sonatora havo dono frc in timo to timo. It is froquontly neooesary propor and courtoous to oonfor with mombors of tho opposite party, as ho knows and as ovory man of practical st risc knows. Thoso expressions of his aro nttompts to lako advantage of oro dulity and ignoranoo. I do not think thoro is a man in South Carolina so ig norant ns to bo roally doooivod by thom. Ho oannot put mo undor suspicion as ho has put himsolf by his own nota. I havo not in publiooflioorotrogradod from a, perhaps, honorable bankruptcy to dirt hoaorablo and unexplained wealth. Ho and 1 havo drawn tho samo salarios, but I havo found it imposai u lo to Bavo a dol lar from mino. I Jiavo novor, howovor, truoklod to corporations with tho fain ing of a tamed spaniel, made speeches against thom, thon votod for thom, and aoooptcd favors as ho has dono. I havo novor boon tho Bolo boss and buying agont of a nowly oroatod whiskey truU, with its rebatos of $00,000 to $70,000 a yoar, nono ot whioh ovor readied tho stato Iroasury. 1 havo novor had tho haudling of a stato bond rofunding ??chorno with $28,000 of commissions novor yot nooountod for'or explainod. A year ago Senator Tillman wont into North Dskot? sod l?f.de smooches s.d7C eating tho ro olootion of a Republican sonator, Mr. Pettigrew. Sonator Tillman and this senator wore prominent in pre venting, by fillibustoring taotios, a voto on tho subsidy bill.
