TILLMAN'S LETTER.
That letter of Senator Tillman's
Governor Ellerbo, which was the
auso of so much talk and nows
apor agitation, has boon repro
ucod with som1e modifications and
tublished at last. There was not
talf as much in it as was general
y expoected and disappointment
.mong the gossipers must provail
o an aarminiig extont..
The main subjects troatod in
hat celebrated opistle are tho Ag
icultural Hall case and the dis.
)onsary scandals. About the Iat.
ter h sayt amiong other things:
"Samples were sent in groat
unftltities wheni I was connocted
with the d. ptnsairy, and not kIow
ing what elso to do with them
they wor freely dlist ributed among
tho visitors to tho inst itt ion as
on means o) f (eterii in itrg the
qunlities of t hto liquors 1111d also as
courtesv.
I carried -omo to my honuso and
used tiim, ats did Governor Evanls
and I presmno the proesnt State
board of control havo dono like
wiBO, and I have no apology to
make for it.. Durirng my term
thoro woro very fow ot etr articles
than liqurSi soized. though I re
call the fact that kegs and small
barrels of liquor woro found pauck

of hams. I instructed Mir. Trvax

So muchi fo' the genieral subject,
now for paurt irulars. I have wait
od to see thnis week's ''Ileadl1ighit,"
so0a itS havo't Ganrtt's specific
chargos coveaprig tire ad ministra
tiotn of thle law under '"Ren 'Till
man andI Tlraxiar," and like oth
era, I have been astonished at the
effrontery which gives out so much
smoke and so little fire. He mero
ly dips his syringe into the gutter
of filth and slimo emanating for
the lust three years from the Newvs
and Courier, thre State, the Spar
tanburg Herald and the Groen
ville Dailey News, with which the
people have been so disgusted, and
spatters me along with others with
its contents. He, however, winds
up with a reiteration of the cry:
"Investigate, investigate, investi
gate 1"
I have not shunned nor dlreadodt
an investigation), and I (10 nrot
shun at nlow, butt 1 vonitutr the~
prediction that my otoieties will
be sorry if one be ihold, and will
declare that it is nrot honoestly
made. They doa not watnt tire time
to come when they cannot dig lip
the question of rebatos and cast
insinuations against miy honesty.
'When these Stato slanders ab~out
rebates under my Administration
were put in circulationi by the
ne0wspapers, and then taken up by
Gen;'Butler in the canvass three
years ago, I .met them promptly
and vigorously at Union and else
where, and in the winter I joined
with .Governor Evansl in asking
that the Legislature should ap
Soiuit aocommnittee to 'look into the
diepensary's managemien tiand set
'Ihe ahr of."(f er"ri'toflnat rest'
nancial affairahavo been investi
gated and reported on time and
Igauin by a Legislative committee,
ne of whoso members was an
Anti, incapable of seduction or of
being induced to cloak wrong.
rho committee has never yet made
i report reflecting oi the integrity
,r honesty of its management.
Now tho cry is "Investigate," and
while Gantt, and no one else has,
or can, give any satisfactory rea
son why my administration of the
dispensary should bo invostigated,
I desire to ask the Governor to so
lect a committee of citizons to on
ter upon an investigation immedi
ately, and I am willing to answer
any inquiries made, and I doubt
not that overy other man connect
ed with the dispensary in any offi
cial way, would be willing to do
likewiso. The expense cannot be
groat, and could be paid out of
the contingent fund, and the mat.
ter is of sufficient importance, I
think, to warrant the outlay.
Tho friends of the dispensary
cainot allow it to h) undermind
and smot.horod in filth by the gut
torsnipos. who are running the
editorial pages of cur daily papers,
and if any corruption can be
shown, other than what has al
ready been shown to exist punish
ment swift and sure should fol
b,)w.
I stand ready to explain and
justify every act of mine in con'
nection with the law, and 1 doubt
no(t that Governor Evans can do
likewise. Let the matt.r Ie sot at
rest and the smoldering embers of
envy aid hate he put out once for
all."
