WARNS THE MILL PEOPLE Dtfinds Himstlf from the Charge of Having Abandoned the Democratic Party and Discuses Other Matters. Tho Nowfl and Courior oorrespondont says Senator Tillman ospooially rogrcttod his inability to speak at Spartan burg, because thoro woro Bcvoral important points upon whioh ho desired to define Iub position onoo and for all. Among thoso was tho talk thoro has boon of cooroion in tho cotton mills. Bofore leaving tho oity ho gavo out a statement for publication oovering theso questions. It is as follows: Thoro has boon more or less strenuous effort madoin various quarters to cast imputations on my Domooraoy and to charge that I havo boon disloyal to tho organization in tho past. Sonator McLaurin's supporter seek to dofond his own troaohery to tho party by making thoso ohargos, whilo on tho other hand somo of my old political op pononls, who havo novor boon ablo to givo mo any orodit for anything that was worthy or good, havo joinod in this aoousatioo, and 1 thoroforo fool that it is nothing but right that 1 should lot tho youngor generation of votoro, who know nothing of tho facts; hoar tho plain truth, so they may know how muoh orodoneo to givo to thoso ohargos. IIOW AGITATION' liKOAN. I mado my entrtranoo in tho politioal arona at Bonnottsvillo in '85 puroly by aooidont. Tho agitation bogan thoro. This, followed up in tho Nows and Courior in a sorios of lottors and addrossos in advocacy of a farmers' oollego, took a politioal turn in '86. In a. n - n. . mo i/umuorkuo Ttaio uonvontion of that yoar 1 had a largo following, but wo woro boaton by thoso in possession of tho machine, (tho ring 1 oallod thorn) and 1 was among tho first to movo that tho nomination for Govornor bo mado unanimous and to plodgo my support to tho suoocssful oandidato. Continuing tho agitation, whioh broadonod into a demand for gonortl roformatiou of tho Btato Govornmont and tho abolition of vaiious abusos?wo woro again boaton in '88 by a vory narrow margin, booauso Attornoy Gonoral Earlo, our oandidato, rofusod to allow tho uao of his nawo after tho balloting began, and I again movod to mako tho nominations unanimous, thus showing my loyalty to tho party in Btato affairs. In 1890 1 waB put forward as tho nominoo of TUB MAUOII CONVENTION to run as a oandidato for tho nomination for Govornor in tho rogular Dornooratio Convontion and tho systom of joint discussions was inauguratod. I was ovorwholmingly olootod in tho Domoortio primary, and although thoro was a bolt and effort to oloot an indopondont oandidato, I was ohoaon Govornor in Novombor following by a laigo maioritv. Th? A i m . *.mv aaiuhuvu nau UUCI1 organized in *81) and was a very potent factor in tho huooobb of tho ltoform movements but thoro was a vory powerful politioal ourront flowing boforo tho Allianoo was born. In '91 1 disoovorod that Bon Torroll, tho looturor of tho National Allianoo, was systematically going from oouuty to oounty, sowing tho seed of Third-partyism and proaohing the dootrino of "voting for Betsy and tho baby," rathor than tho Dornooratio party or any othor party. This led to my ohallonging Mr. Torroll to a joint discussion on tho subjoot of tho Bub treasury and othor issues, upon whioh ho was basing his propaganda, and tho dobatc was hold boforo TIIE 8TATE ALLIANCE in this oity. 1 pointod out in tho dobate tho dangor of tho whito pooplo of South Carolina risking any division as long as wo had suoh an overwhelming nogro majority, and insisted that nothing should bo dono of a politioal oharaotor outsido of tho Doinooratio ranks until wo had hold a Constitutional Convention and takon slops to safeguard whito supremacy. 1 domandod and obtained a plodgo in that mooting to make tho fight against Clovolandisui and the othor undomooratio polioioc thet were being urgod by tho Now York wing of tho party insido of tho JDcrnooratio ranks, and there aro 1 undrods of witnesses to tho fact. Tho result was in '92, notwithstanding tho Allianoo was in absolute control of the political affairs of tho Stato, and thoro was an overwhelming sentiment in opposition to tho Domooratio parly tonots as thoy wore then PROMULGATED BY CLEVELAND and his crowd, thoro was no effort made to organizo a Populist party oxocpt in two oountios, ovon aftor Clovoland had reoeivodtho nomination at Chicago. Oui State Convention had donounoed him as "a prostitute of Wall stroot"and deolared that ho was not a Domoorat. but when he reoeivod tho nomination 1 roturned from Chioago and counselled aoquiesoenco in tho result, and 1 make bold to assert that but for my influence and the influenoe of tho men allied with mo tho State would havo gone tc the Populists that year by an over whelming vote. As it was, South Caro lina was the only Southorn State whose Populism did not mako a bittei fight rgainst the regular Demooraoy. 1 spoke very bitterly of oloveland's polioj and proolaimed my desire for a unioi between the Southorn and Wosteri farmers; and deolarod I was ready t< load a revolt against the Demoorati< party as then led, and leave it if nee< be, whonever I saw anywhere to go, an< made allusion to "A LIGHT IN Till W*8T" as a signal. In the meantime I so myself aealously to work to obtain i Constitutional Convention so as to tak< steps to disfianohise as many of th< oolored people as we eould under th< 14th and 16 amendments. During th< period from 1892 to 1896 there was bit ter and constant agitation in this an< other States against Cleveland's policy and 1 denounoed his betrayal of th( Democratic party with all the bitter v a . - vv i noflf that I felt 1 piool.'ito^d that if he w\a a Demcorat f wan not and l merely gave voioo. in all my doaouuoia lions of Clovclaod Domooraoy and tbicats of loaving the party, to tho overwhelming sentimout in oontrol of tho Stato. In othor words, I was absolutely loyal at all timos to tho majority ol my follow citizens, who woro Demo orats, but not of tho Clcvoland typo, and what I said about loavingthe party thou was not the provailing sentiment in South Carolina 1 mado aspocch in Memphis and one in St Louis in whioh 1 denounced cijkvrijanp and his policy as Un Domooratio and proclaimed my willingnoss and purpose to fight to rooapturo tho Democratic party from tho wrockors, and, failiug tborc, to organize a genuine Democratic patty, whioh should maintain tho principles of Jefferson, tho fathor. I anncutiood this policy as tho spokesman of tho Douiooraoy of this Stato on the floor of the Scnato on tho 1st of Mav, 189(5, inn debate with 1). 11. Ilill; 1 announoed it in a spooeh at Denver, ono in Wichita, ono at Lexington, Ky., at Dallas, Texas, and Atlanta, Ua., in all of which tho slogan was *41 ti to 1 ot bust." Tho South Carolina Stato Con vontion, which soul dolegatos to the Chioago Convention in 139G, was sc thoroughly imbuod with tho purposo tc havo adifloront kind of Democracy from that ol Cleveland and his follow or.s that they sont. a delegation to that Convention with instructions to with draw and rotum hom e for further oounsol in tho ovont wo did not got a plat form to suit uh. i have never at any moment or any timo or any plane givon voice tc any fooling or Boutimout about the Dnttl nnratin n?rl v lltnt 1B?U i]iiilnv?l t/ tho will of tho majority of my follow Democrats in this Siato. I havo al ways olaimod to voioo tho will of th< majority of tho pooplo of th< Stato and to bo a roprosonta tivo of tho majority, and ovorj well-informed man in tho Stato knowt that what 1 have ape ken is oapablo ol proof from the rcooids, and, thorofoiO, L repeat what 1 said at Union, that an) man who ohargos mo with disloyalty 01 with any purp030 at any timo of oppos ing tho gonuino Democracy of Soutl Carolina as 10prosentod by tho majorit) lios, and knows ho lios. I AM CALLED A POPULIST NOW by Kopublioan and gold bug paport that aro so much in lovo with Commercial Domooracy. I always havo, am always will, spurn Cleveland's Domo oraoy as nothing but thinly di guisod Republicanism, and MoLiurin's Do mooraoy is oven less rospootablo. Cltvo land novor played tho hypoorito, whil< MoLaurin was as oagor onoo to prosf Populism, puroand simple, as ho is now to advooato MoKinloyism, and How don, tho apostlo of Populism in Sjutl Carolina in 181)2, was tho first man h< gave a job to aftor his appointment tc tho Senato. and it is said that thie samo Populist lcador is now a strong supportor of Sonalor MoLaurin's lasi braud of politics. Somo of tho nowspapor editors and other ardont supporters of Souator Mo L'urin havo boon very much shookod and outraged by what L said at Unioi as A WARNING TO MILL PRESIDENTS not to attompt to cooroo tho'r opora lives. It is oonsidorod an unpardon ablo sin that I should d*rn In lhrn?lfli to intorforo iu this mattor. What 1 said on that occasion was for tho purPOBO of warning thoso mon against at tempting to go too fur. 1 roougnizo th< right of ovoiv man to try to porsuadt others to voto with him, but 1 dony that the employment of mon in milli oarrius with it a right on iho pari of tho mill to oorooo or oontrol tho votos of tho omployoos. Tho relation bo twoou tho mill ownoraudtho worker in tho mill is ono of mutual advantage, and tho millH woro not built for tho purposo of giving omployoiont to labor, but for tho purposo of making monoy Ail mon who work in tho mills givo la bor for tho monoy thoy receive. Tho iu torosts of mill o^nor and tho mill hand may bo identical or may bo antagonistic. Jt has boun common in tho North for tho laborers employed in tho inasufaoturiug oblablishmouts to bo driven when thoy oannot bo oajolod into vot ing tho Republican tiokot, and the throats of disoharging laborers and olobing down works in 1)G and even it iho last Presidential oloooion no doubt soourod tho McKinlcy triumph.
