Mearst magazine a letter from Se-uator
J. L. McLaurin to John I). Archbold,
the active business manager
cf the Standard Oil Company, wan
published. This letter is followed by
(be public action in the January number
of several letters that passed between
McLaurin, Archbold and others
Some of those letters speak of the
campaign in this State made by Senator
McLaurin in his effort to establish
the commercial Democracy,
which brought on a rupture between
SenatorTillman and nimself and
wfciich resulted finally in the retirement
of McLaurin. From these letters
it will he seen that Senator McLaurin
in his fight against Senator
TiJlinan was backed by the Standard
'>il Company, which was anxious to
have Senator Tillman defeated.
In introducing the letters Hearst
-ays "in the last chapter we beheld
Sena tot* McLauhin, a Democrat, writing
Mr. Archbold and conveying certain
information regarding Mr.
Roosevelt's expressions of hostility
toward the Standard Oil Company.
This information was not sent beeau.se
of McLaurin's Democratic hostility
to Mr. Roosevelt, a Republican.
The reader will see from .a letter
published later in this article that
McLaurin personally liked Roosevelt.
Senator McLaurin's warning to Mr.
Archbold was therefore merely an
act of non-partisan devotion to the
Standard Oil Company to enable Mr.
Archbold intelligently to consider the
best interests of the Standard Oil
Company in the impending election.
Senator McLaurin was out of office
at the time, but he remembered past
favors" and had al ively sense of
favors to come.
"What all the favors were that Senator
McLaurin had received from the
Standard Oil Company wo cannot tell,
but what some of them are we can
tell by McLaurin's own correspondence.
In the first letter to be pro
eucea in mis series Mr. a retinoid
merely acknowledges the courteous
call of Senator M(?,aurln. Apparently'no
mutually advantageous associations
had as yet developed between
. these two gentlemen. Senator Mcfyanrln
had perhaps heard from fel
low senators of Mr. Archbold's benevolent
disposition and naturally
wanted to establish agreeable relations
with so rioted a political phllantropist.
Senator McT.aurin had
announced his coming by the following
letter, but through a misundetHtiindlujt
had missed Mr. Archbold.
Februrary 13,1 900.
My dear sir:
' 1 am very sorry indeed to have
missed your call on Saturday. On
receipt, of your favor of the 8th.
which indicated that you might come
on Monday, I immediately wrote you,
lolling you that I would not be bore.
on Monday, as it was a holiday. I
do not usually come to business on
Saturday, and as no suggestion was
made of your calling then, I did not
ydvtee you. 1 am very sorry.
1 will, of course, tie glad to see you i
any day except Saturday. I am con-]
fmnplating a little absence of ten
days or two weeks, to leave hero possibly
about a week from now.
Very truly yours,
Jno. I). Archbold.
Xfnn. J. L. McLaurin,
Washington, D. C.
Commenting on tho above letter
SJearst says "there 1b no mention in
the letter of any requirements on tho
i?art of Senator McLaurin, but Mr.
Archbold seems to realize that Senator
McLaurin did not call upon him
merely for the purpose of inquiring
about his health So although no rc
;t bis health. So that although no requirements
are mentioned tho letter
cf Mr. Archbokl iH so friendly that
Vf Senator MoLafcirln has any requirements.
he will bo deprived of
any hesitation about expressing them
At an early date. And surely enough
in tbo next letter of tho aeries we find
that Senator (McLaurin has had reqnirements
all along, and in moving
to bring thorn to Mr. Archhold's attention
through a common friend, Mr
Crusty. Mr. Grasty knows benevoflent
Uncle Archhold's establishment
*wnere emoarraaaea politicians can
pawn their independence and receive
tfuch accomodatlona aw are required.
He knows how eager Uncle Archbold
la to do business with any good polit-1
leal risk and he was willing therefor?
to present Senator McLaurln's can?
to Uncle Archbold, which he did on
February 10. On Febuary 19 after
tlio cai! of Senator McUaurin Mr.
Archbold answered Mr. Qrasty as follows:
February 19, 1100.
Mr. Thoo. P. Oraity,
Baltimore, MA.
Door otr:
I bore your favor dated at WashtaftOB
on the 16th, and the eodoo
rure accompanying, which 1 beg to return
yon herowith. 1 will be glad
to see Senator McLaurln here unj
day, and have no douut we can arrange
the matter to hia satisfaction.
Very truly yours,
Jno. D. Archbold.
"Mr. Archbold "will be glad to nee
Senator McLaurln here any day," and
Mr. Archbold continuee "no doubt
we can arrange the matter to hie
eatiefacliou." Thus we aee that notwithstanding
Senator 'McLanrin's
eocJul call and Mr. Archbold'a elaborately
polite letter in return, tlnwe
* wait nomethlng to be arranged to
H Senator McLauriJh's "satisfaction."
Encouraged by Mr. Archbold'e wlll
tngness to "arrange the matter,"
Senator McLaurln promptly tele'j
graphed Mr. Archbold. The letter
to Mr. Grasty which was writtou on
February 19th, waa undoubtly recelv5
od by Mr. Grasty u day or two later
und then forwarded to Senator Mc
Lauriu. who too eager to wait for the
' nulla promptly telegraphed Mr. Arch1
hold at. No. 2G Broadway. Mr. Areubold
telegraph's the Senator In return
and welcomes the Senator with trie
encouraging phrase, "glad to see you
any day next week except Saturday."
Feb. 23, 11)00.
Hon. Jno. L. McLaurin,
Senate Chamber, Washington, D (. .
Yesterday being close holiday, d'd
not receive your message unt.il> today.
Have delayed answering, hop
ing to see you. Glad to see you any
day next week except Saturday.
.1. I). Arch bold.
"Mr. Arch bo Id is as elaborately
polite as ever and expinim his trilling
delay in answering Senator McLuurin's
telegram. It. is plain that Mr.
Archbold is quite as anxious to arrange
the matter" to Senator McLaurin's
"satisfaction" as Senator
McLaurin is to have the matter arranged.
The matter that Mr. Archbold
was to arrange for Senator McLaurin
at this time was for the Standard
Oil Company to contribute wit1,
its usual generosity toward Sen nor
McLaurin's campaign for re-election.
We do not hear from McLaurin again
until the seventh of May, when he
writes Mr. Archbold tolling him of
the progress of events in South Carr.'ilia.
'.Mr. Archbold answers with
the following:
May nth. 1901.
My dear Senator:
1 I have vour kind favor of the 7th
with the interesting enclosures, for
j all of which 1 beg you to accept
. thanks. VVe are intensely interested
. in the courageous and praiseworthy
stand you have taken, and believe
I that the general intelligence of the
South, will support you in it. Indeed.
' I think it marks the beginning of
( a new era for the South.
For anything I know now 1 will be
here until about the middle of June,
and will, of course, be delighted to
see you if you call. I expect to go
J away about, the middle of June for
J a vacation of a week or so.
Very truly yours,
(Signed) Jno. D. Archbold.

Mr. Archbold as usual attempts to
(monopolize for his adherents and purI
poses the morality and mentality of j
; the country, and assures Senator Mcj
Laurin smugly that "the general inj

Senator McLaurin did not call, but
he wrote tho following letter.

BonnetHville, S. C.
May 2t>, 1002.
Dear Mr. Arch bold:
I have pushed the fight so vigorously
that they called on Tillman. 1
met him at Gaffney and beat him at
his ovn game. I called hie bluff, and
now the fight Is for two seats in the
Senate instead of one. 1 can beat
Tillman if properly and generously
supported. There Is no time to loose
I however. 1 enclose an account of
both meetings for your Information.
With kindest regards,
I am sincerely yours.
Jno. L. McLaurin.
"Senator McLaurin has pushed his
fight vigorously and is repot ting progress
to tho Standard Oil Company.
Tillman has been called upou to represent
tho people, as usual. McLaurin
reports that he has met Tillman
at OaiTney and "called his bluff".
"And," continues Mcuaurin, "now
the tight Is for two seats in the Senate
Instead of one." There Is an opportunity
for the Standard Oil Company
to get Tillman out of the Senate
with his old-fashioned Ideas about
the rights of the people and his anarchistic
hostility to the control of
government by criminal corporations.

"As wo have seen la many Ini

complain of on that score. Tillman,
' however, had too strong a bold upon
the people of the State of South Cafollna
to be overcome by Senator McI.aurin,
even with all the force of t.ne
Standard Oil hacking, and this phase
of the situation is summed up in a
Jotter from Mr. ArchuoJd to Mr. Sibley
reproduced below. Governor M<v
Bweeney had refused to accept the
resignation*) of TUitftan and McLaurin.
The resignation# had been withdrawn
end the opportunity of the
Standard Oil Company to secure two
Benatorinl seats instead of one bad
been deferred. 'The campaign.' Mr.
Archbold wrltOR to Mr. Sibley, 'will
not bo made at present.'
June 6, 1901.
Dear Mr. Sibley:
I duly received vonr favor of the
1th, and herewith return you Senator
McL's very interesting letters. 1
wrote Senator McL. some days ngo,
expressing my great admiration lor
his wise and courageous course, and
spying to him that I would be very
glad to confer with him at any time
either in person or by letter. Of
course, the situation is now entirely
changed, and the campaign will not
be made at present. This is undoubtedly
very favorable to Senator
McL., as the trend of events is certainly
tremendously in his favor. I
am especially delighted this morning
over Governor McSweeney's reply to
Tillman. Tillman is so rank a demagogue
and the logic of events is so
much against him, that if McLaurin
will only keep eoole, perhaps doing
a little judicious nagging occasionally.
Tillman will hang himself. It
would be the greatest possible mistake
for McL. to lose his temper,
and be drawn into anything like a
personal encounter with Tillman. It
would he so far beneath his dignity
personally, and would so injure the
gi eat step of progress which he has
had the courage to undertake on behalf
of his State and the South, that
it would be almost a national misfort
line.
Very truly yours.
Jno. D. Arch hold.
Hon. J. O. Siblev,
Franklin, Fa.
The fact that Senator" Tillman
was upon the popular side made him
a tit subject for Mr. Archbold's vituperation,
and again we have an example
of Mr. Archbold's disposition, so
typical of all men of his class, to att.ibute
unworthy motives to all those
that oppose him and to applaud the
purposes of all those that agree with
h:ri. "Tillman is so rank a demagogue''
in Mr. Archbold's opinion hecause
he insists upon representing
the people c ! his State instead of becoming
a subservient tool of the
Standard Oil Company.
On the other hand Mr. Archbold
expresses his "great admiration" for
Senator McLaurin's "wise and cour
ageous course," because Senator McLaurin
had called for Standard Oil
support and put himself under obligations
to the Standard Oil interests.
It is the habit of the representatives
of these greedy corporations
so to attempt to discredit the
efforts and purposes of all who are
opposed to them, in the hope that
they may weaken the influence of
their adversaries with the people
who cannot always understand the
true conditions in every case. It
would be well, however, for the judicious
reader to study these letters
and realize that on every occasion
Mr. Archbold praises those who are
really actuated by the basest motives
and denounces those who are
animated by a spirit of justico and
honesty uad loyal public service.
"The reconsideration of Tillman
to resign his seat prevented the campaign
that McLaurin hoped for from
being held, but McLaurin and Tillman
continued bitter enemies from
that time on, Tillman representing
the cause of the people and McLaurin
aligning himself with the piJPdatory
interests, uutil McLaurin was
read out of the Democratic party bv
the State Central Committee and
lost his chance for re-election to the
Senate. There was no further need,
therefore, ' for campaign contributions,
but the 'past, favors' which
McLaurin referred to with ao much
gratitude in his letter in the previous
issue of this magazine were not limited
to campaign contributions.
There were other ways in which the
influence and affluence of the Standard
Oil Company could asstst a faith
iui wnnior, as win oo neen rrom me
following letter. When tho Standard
Oil Company could not help a
man politically it could help him professionally.

Mr. Archbold replies that he is

Senator McLaurtn that he "will see
that it is kept in mind." Mr. Archbold

conveyed in the letter from Mr.
Archbold to Congressman Sibley,
that he eventually calls Senator Tillman
a liar and comes to blows with
him on the floor of the Senate.
The last letter of this McLaurin
series is written by Senator McLaurin
in his retirement, and it was of
that retirement that Senator McLaurin
had spoken in the letter published
in the preceding issue of this magazine
when he had described himself
as "stranded like an old hulk on the
shores of the political sea. suffering
from that worst of ills, a waste of
powers unemployed." We tlnd Senator
McLaurin still corresponding
with the friend of whose acquaintance
he must pretend to be proud
and still hoping that "in the Providence
of Ciod" lie may have further
political opportunity and may get
back at his ancient enemy once more.

Dear .Mi*. Archbold:
1 do not know whether you saw
the enclosed in the "Sun" or not, so
I sent it. You have no idea how
tense the situation is becoming since
the President entered unon his rlc
part.ure from the policy of his predecessor
on the race question. Personally
I like Mr. Roosevelt, but 1
very much fear he will get us into
trouble on the race question in the
South and the labor question in the
North.
Ho ought have his wall adorned
with the old proverb, "Rome wan not
made in a day," where he could see
it first thing in the morning and the
j last thing at night,

P. S. There is a fight brewing
over the dispensary in this State and
perhaps in the Providence of God. I
may get. back at my ancient enemy
once more. J. L. M.
Senator McLaurin meant Senator
Tillman as his "ancient enemy", but
in reality Senator Tillman was not
so much his enemy as the benevolent
Mr. Archbold, of whose friendship
McLaurin v.'as so proud and yet
whose association and patronage
McLaurin into his only real d'fiiculties.
Senator McLaurin was of no set
vict* m me nianaara <ni uompany at I
this time and had been of very little J
service throughout his brief political
connection with that institution. He
retired froni politics not many year*
after the day that he walked into the
spder's parlor at No. 2 6 Broadway,
and being out of politics had no better
opportunity to return "past favors"
than occasionally to write Mr.
Arehbold about matters in which he
thought that gentleman would be interested,
or about situations which
seemed to affect the interests of the
Standard Oil Company.
