TILLMAN HAS HIS SAY.
Special to The State.
Washington, .Inly 1J.?In re
ply to inquiries of the State's
representative to (lay. Senator
Tillman made the following state
merit in reference to the pending
senatorial contest in the State:
' Personally, the relations between
Irhv and myself are friend
ly. at least they are not so strain
oil as they were at one tiule, but
that fact lias no significance what
ever, so far as the senatorial cam
paign in the State is concerned.
We wen; brought together hy a
mutual friend a year or *o iigo
without any possible reference to
present or luture conditions."
Speaking of his alleged connection
with the lrby Kvuns combination
to defeat McLaurin, lie
said: '-While in Washington
some time ago Kvuus talked with
me about his candidacy lor the
SeiiJiti" *kiiiI t iilt'ii.'iwl i
...... iiMiinuu linn
it :m? 1 the announcement of hi*
candidacy in the newspapers was
a surprise to ine, ami I was even
more surprised to see that Irby
and Kvans were running together
?surprised because they had
United each other so mercilessly
in the past."
Now,'' lie added, "I want it
j understood that lam taking no
part in the contest. I will not be
drawn into it, and any statement
to the contrary is sbsolutely false.
The people must decide it lor
themselves."
About the possible result he
had no opinion to oxpress. Ho
will remain here until congress
adjourns unless called home by
the illness of Mrs. Tillman.
Webster is in the last ditch
and to save Lathrop he told Hatina
to-night that he would give up
the collectorship. Wheeler re
turned to Charleston to night not
exuberantly hopeful of immediate
appointment, llanna, it seems,
promised the place to Crum at
St. Louis, unadvisedly. It was
Senator Wolcott's opposition
that caused the withdrawal of
Oram's nomination for postmaster
in 1 S90 and the same Wolcott, is
now chairman of the nostoflice
committee. Ilanna didn't, know
it at the time of the St. Louis
convention and now Manna has
I roubles of his own.
