PEEPLES REFUSES MANNINGS REQUEST Governor and Attornef General I)ltYer oi Question of .Apopintingr Assistant .\ttorney' (seneral. Coluimbia, Feb. 4.--The first storm during tho Manning administration canme today when correslpondence be tween Governor Mlannlug and Attor ney General Peeples, relative to the appointment of an assistant attorney general was announced. Governor Manning was desirous of having a man named assistant attor ney general who would work in ac cord with his administration. Special objection is raised against Fred ll. Dkoninirk, who was namlled by 'Ir. Peeples as assistant attorney general. "Yott have seen lit to appoint Mr. Fred 11. D)ominiek your assistant. who was the stpporter of the polleies of my predecessor in this ollice. In Ihese circumstances. I do not feel that I can rely upon your otli(e for legal 'dvice. I shall tived legal advice in the adniost ration of my office, and, therefore, shall be compelled to call this matter to the legistture for such action as they may see fit to take, if' you insist in making this appoint ment," says Governor Manning in one of the letters to Attorney General Peeples. in a long letter Attorney General Peoples stated that uiller the consti tution he had the right to appoint. his assistant. and that he always stood ready to give legal advice to the oth er stale departments. The attorney general said that he was standing on his legal rights. Governor Manning, in reply, called attention to certain statements alleg ed to have been made by Attorney General Peepels relative to the ap pointment. "No thought," says Governor Mal ning, "of who would he your assist ant., or, in fact, of anything connected with your office had entered my mind until you yourself voluntarily ap proached me after the Anderson meeting during the campaign last. summer, and stated that you thought that T would be elected; and that if I were elected and you were re-elect ed that you intended to act in entire harmony with me, and that your of fice would do all in its power to fur ther the success of my administration, 1n Mr. lienet' presence I called to your attention the conversation had after the Anderson meeting and you reiterated what you had stated before, '-'id you then, to my surprise, offered to let me name the assistant attorney general. This I flatly declined, stat ed that you would appoint no one who was not In harmony with me on the platform on which I was elected and that. you would submit to mne names of the men whom you were consider ing and would appoint no one who was objectionable to me. You then stated that Dr. Dominlek would not he your assistant again, that you had considered Ir. 11. P. DeBruhl, but thought his heal1hI was such that, e was not ill to the work, and that you had other names under advisemett and would confer with me again in r'e gard to this atpoinitmenzt." Sotie (lays ago NIrt. P~eples n amled Mr. Dominick, who was a formier law~ partnier of Governor lilease. Tlhe en tir tCorr .Iespond1ienci enverIXCs severalI thlousand1( wvord:.
