Politicians are always oil thle watch for anl Oortunity to ad vance thelir own intrests and nothing pleases th1om1 better than to divert the atiention of the voters froim their owI record, by assailing stome other public of ficial. An illustration of this oc curs in tho call of Chairman Irhy for a moeting of the Stato Domo cratic Exocutive Connnitteo, wherein bo covertly attacks Senator Tillman. The conservative papers easily caIu tit ol to the ausi i1 onI an1d made th miot out o it pssible. This tumult. about a bolt i pre. mature anl i( will ho tinme enough to discuss I. hoth at )r, whln the question r)ally confronts the peo plo. From t'h, presenlt inidienationsi it appea.r'. that the. goltd hugs will be forced to dcido that que.'stion for thet!vt , and, inde'd, it seells thI v ar alreadv considt ring, it.

The I !formers cannot afford to imiperil1 t heir1 prospef)(cts ini State polities by. dilvisionls among them iln nationaluia matters. The consarvat ives care little for nation al potlit ics, andl would rejoice to 360 an~ efort mado(1 by thlo loaders to carry off then people into an mn deponden t movement, for then they would have ant excuse to in stitute a similar proceeding in State politics. Some of thomi have already shown an inclination that way and would be too wecll pleased to justifp their conduct in the past by such a course on the part of Reformors. They are watching for and encouraging di visions, and the JOUnNAL is dlis. posed -to suspect that some of thos< would be Ref'orm leaders are work, ing mn their interest. It is botto: to let these ambitious and reckl"e poeliticianis go~ to pirivate life thai follow them to certain defeat. TILL.M AN'S LJETTERI. As TruE JounINAL goos to p~rosl the press dispatches bring th news that Senator Tillman ha written a letter to the Columbi Register, defiin g 1his positijoi Senator Tillmian has always be equal to any emergency, and h. friends are p)lease~d that lho come to the front at this state of the p)c litical game, iln which his enemnit. are boasting and attemptingt place hun in a false light beforn the p)OOPlo. Hi-s advice at this timo will b i'cep~table andi~ will bring consteri natL, t~o some of thoe self ap: pointed 1tenaers inl tile Reforn ranks, who are evidbntly trying t< break upl thlt Reform miovemn and reinstate the old rinig crowd Along with the above now: comes thoe tidings that Sonatoi Irby left Washington for Lauroi for a bitter fIght in his county, at afforts will be made thoera to pre rent hLie lection as delegate to the state Convention. If he should ill in his own own county, thlel is political prospects are blighite rover. Senator Irby has done some od work for the Reform move ent, but unfortunately for him has been in bad humor for de i0 no ad has done nothing but complain and- qast oustaclel in the way of its succoss, when h had the opportunity of coming t the front and making the Reform ere fool proud that they had honor od him. le has disappointed thon at a timo when they expocted hin to rollect credit on the Reforn movement.
