MILAURIN TO Declines to Ste: STRONG CHARGES A( The Junior Senator Atteni and Actions are Democr to the People. PAnIS MOUNTAIN, 8 . August 5, 1901. T11o the Democratic Executive CoI mittee, State of South Carolina : OaNTujaMKIN : The ollicial notice o the action of a majority of your com miitte of July 25th was received by mi on August lst, live days after it had be: announced in the newspapers. Thi published announcement was the lire notice I had that any action affectin ie was to be taken by your committee I am now olicially informed that th majority of your committee condemns m course in the 8enate, demands my ret ination and undertakes to expel m from tle Democratic party. Twent) one men have attempted to usurp th powers of the 90,000 Democratic voter of South Carolina, and as an incident, i a meeting called foi another purposc have hastily endeavored to do what ca 0ac lone only by solemn proceedings o prarchc~iment, expressly provided for i nt const.itution of the United States. I hom my commission from the Dein orati vltcrs of South Carolina. I rec ogni o it authority but them, anid tak tW oTrdei fromi any source but then in mi, *r. a ue course appeal to ther to: imigitoi on my course as a Senato an14 m1 haractr as a man and a D0m1 ora,. P'rs:msav I am indifferent to you am't N. because nobody has made you Im rar C or censor, and I regard what ye ,av- done as mere'y expressig t mahee and fears of one individual, e 1. It. Tillman. But for this always et and indecent inlluence ordinary respe for the proprieties would probably ha) prevented the four of you who are n declared competitors for the seat I n have thelhonor to occup'y, from attemil ing to use the power entriuste(d to y' by your party to remove a rival fro your path. As a citizen and Democrat o' Sou Carolinua I am mortified by your act io because it has brought upon i the Sta the coIdemnaliol and ridic'ule of ti press and the public throuathout I country,. Unhappily, those wio are in intimately acquainted with ou r cond tiols accept the action of your majorit as representing the intelligeiice an Democracy of our State an 1 both at made objects of derision. Against th I wish to enter my solemn protest. shall demonstrate how unfair, absur and undemocratic your action is : an I shall trust to the people to repudial it when the opportunity is given thei Your purpose is to deiy that oppo tunity. It is in stronig contrast with the blata boast of Senator Tillman at (aftney pIt me oil trial before ithe party on It hustings with himself as prosecutt As you know. I sought that test by I ceipting a proposal of appeal to the pe ple, but the Governor saw lit to fort it. Now Senator Tilhuan appears prosecutolr againist me1 in) lmy alb5er and by proceedlings like those oft star chamber which was the nmost fanw~us tribunal of Engl ish history. a the most abhorrenit to Anglo-Saxoni stinicts, seeks to exclude mec from t party and its debates anid pullic assel blages. It is your duty, as custodians the party interests, to seek recruits at to strengthen the party. TO save Senm tor Tillman from stakinzg his recori strengthi and fortunes against mine, yc undertake to exclude me and nmy frient from the plarty. Whatever your iidiv dual mtoti ves may have been01, thle pin1 port of your action) is to facilitate thI $enator in dodging me1 and to deny th people the opportunity of passing on m;1 position and con duCt It seems11 Ito a the Decmocratic masses of South (Caro litna arc competeint to say at the poll whether or not I have been a faiithmfu Senator and)1 a consistenlt D~emocrtt Wh'ly should you attempt to preven thema? It is no cause for wonder that Benato Tillmnan should seek to make politicai assassins of you to avoid an open an< fair light, lIe has climbed to power b: venomous abuse (of many of the pure~s men in the 8tate who 0l)opose him, fo which hc always carefully shirked per sonal responsibility, and on the politica lives and fortuines of those who be friended him while lhe needled friendi Norris, Tindal and D~onaldson, muon rep resenting earnest purpose and the in terests of the farmers of the State ant therefore strong, were used by him ti promote his own interests and( tihe) thrust aside. Irby, Shell and Farle; died despising him because of hi treachery to them and to the peop~le. am now in his way and because lhe ha ftailed to strike me down lie Incites yol to attemnpt to strangle me, and ait th Mamec time to destroy a white primiary to his advocacy of which lhe owed muci of thme best of his early following. Part; principles are fixed and to the priniciple of the D~emocratic party I have beci uniformly faithful. Party policies ar dletermlined from time to timle by part; elections and conventions, and no mai nor body of men has the power to sa; between those elections what policie shall be the tests of party loyalty. Senn tor Tillman is assuming the prerogmativ of supreme boss and dictator to say wh shall or shall not be regarded as D~emocrat next year. I do not c1oncedl any such power to him nor to you. II( nor all of your committee together, hai not the power to exclude from candidac nor the polls at the Democratic p rimar thme humblest citizeni of South Carolin whot declares himself to be a D~emnocr. and pledges himself to support the part nmnees. Suppose in 189)0 the exect tive committee of the State had rule out of the party all who engaged in th " auneilrt' Movement '?" Suppose tw yeare after it had excluded all wha favored the sub treasury idea ? BucI action would have been unjust, tyran nical and insulting to thousands of goot citizens and Democrats, but not more st than this proceeding of yours. In his double character as prosecting witness and attorney against me, Sena ator Tillman is reported as saying be fore your committee that I have vote< with the Republicans " In importan1 matters " and that he has seen me con ferrin g with Republican Senators. As: will show by the records, he himsel frequently voted with the Republican' "In important matters," as all othei D~emocratic Benators have done fron time to time. It is frequently necessary proper and courteous to confer wIth members of the opposite party, as h< knows and as every man of practica sense knows. These expressions of hli are attempts to take advantage of credu lity and Ignorance. I do not think ther< is a man',inSouth Carolina so ignorant ai to really be deceived by them.

I have favored ship subs)ides,5 It iI a2 Sgreat qjuestioni, antd (on1, 1 submitit, 2)n which tihe people of this State are com Spetenlt to pass after hearing full Iargu mnnt. Thie subjeet has never beeni d is cusedbefore thleml altltgh it is of1 vast importancce to) thbc proisper'ity of the State. Thell purpose05 of tihe subsidy is to develop tile' builtding 2111d operation of great fleets of American ships. 1t touches VIe int0Itrest of our~ 2402 ports, of our lumbe~r tindustries, of all1 our mtaniufacturin~g enlterpriisesl anld our grealt agriculturall productets. It is 2a quiestioni onl whIich some1 of the ablest 1)emtocratl of thle 1101121 and12 B'en'ate are dilvided. I miost humbly submifit that It, is not inl Sordler for twenty-one muembiers of your icommittee to rule that thle l)emnocratic masses of South Carolin 1 hall n1211 ot at1 their campain meetligs hear this mailt ter of vital inter'est to them discussed; Sand that the people of the 5cacoa1st Scities, Wilo woldl~ like0 to see itew tides of commerce brought to their halJrors and the htmbermien 2and( owniers of forest lands, who wouldi be glad to sell material for more ship s, areO to b)e thlrown neck and heels out of the party because they favor ship 51suidies. Benaltors Carlisle, Pugh and Morgati voted for ai subsidy bill, whichk has been2 in1 force ten years, and Whlich has hlpied our Birazilian trade, in a measure, at leaist Are they not Deomocratsl, according to the decision of Benator Tillmnan and your commnitte? I believe thi.t it Is our duty to develop the new territory whlich has come into our possession along commercial and In dustrial lles, to clvi lizo thlem and make them the equal of our own States in material prosperity. S3enator Tillman would leave them, after we have deprlv p ,d them of the protection of Spain, to a hopeless struggle as an ndepoendent nation, Without resources or s(21f-protec Stion. Fortunately for us, the records Sshow that in building thlem up we are -going to bonefit our own country. I Swant to give that territory the best, form of government In the world ; hie does not want to givo it any form of govern mont at all. 11o says " free silver or bust " I say the Americai peoplo have settled that 1uestion at the ballot box. I am for a Hound currency and coistant ly1-0 mont for all who deire work it re mnunerative watges. This We cannot bave without anI, outlet for our eurplus products on eqlual terms with all of our competitors in the IIairkett or the world.
