There is nothing in Senator Tfill
mia's argument in favor of the
primary this year. Thle main reasoni
lie gives is that at t ho next session
of Congress "the patr1 iots will t hen
antd there inaugurate a st ruggle for
the restoration of the old lanmarks
and the preservation of our free in
5tituitionis," and will "need every
voie and vote that c'an be hiad.." For
thin reason ho thinks that Mc.Laurin
should be put out of thle Senate be
conso ini that fight he will vote with
the republicans, it in true that iln
the past, wvheni voting on party is
sues wvas clone, that. McLaurin's vote
has bocon valuable to thoe Robai-i
eans, but the Senate is now moi'e
than safely Republican and wvill con
tinue to be so for the next eighteen
mionths. and McLiaur in's vote on
either side would not amount to
anythimg. The old time bluff aind
cheap bravado and the "ipso dixi" of
Tillman may be plainly seen in ev
(try line of his letter.
And then if Tillman is so anixiouls
to enter a campaign with MoLaurin
as his opponent lie could resign when
the time comes for the election of a
man to succeed Mc Laurin and then
enter the race, But he knows that
if lie can force a primary upon the
people this summer it will only do
cide the popularity of the two men,
and that he will certainly win and
that then is dictatorial power would
be considered greater than ever. Bat
it seems that his wishes are likely to
be thwarted.
No definite opinion, however, cani
be formed' until McLaurin's reply
has been received. The matter is
now in his hands.
The Governor's action seems to
inxeet the hearty approval of the. peo.
ple throughout the State.

womenQI (can do in the way of beautiful
handiwork. So far, there has been
much interecst shownu by those who
kindly took Part ini the noble effort to

our earnest, tiesire is, to get every one
initerested in helping to make the cx

self aid r'ads as follows:
Trenton, S. C., Jtno 1, 11M1.
Ills Excelleney, M les H1. MeSwoeney,
t,lumibia, S. C. --Sir: I hav your let
tmr of May 3t, addressod to Senator Nit'.
Li,aurin and myself jointly, in which
you say: "I respectfully return your
resignations that you may have mloro
time for serious oontideration of tho
effect-s upon the people of the State of
this action on your part," and further
on. "I respectfully delino to necept,
your re-signationsi andl leg to returnt themi
hrrewith "
Your Excelleney, of course, lia the
riglt, and it is cntirely p1roper, to re
i m lily resigiation anid advist.. llore
serious consklor,atilon. In declininug to
aNel'd, I Zi.am sure youl have trainsetiled
your ant hority. It will take very little
in- estigatioti amid reflection to convince
yo of this. Y ou cannot compel a m11em1
ber of the I'nited Atates Senate to hold
his commission atd exercise the fiune
1ions of that ofle if he chooses to sur
renier it. My at-tiot in tendering iy
rosignaltion, while hasty, was not. ill
AiVistld, and 1 11111 irmIly convinced of
tohe wisdom of ily course 11ponl rellec
tion. i'ersoially I had nothing to gainl
and 'verything to lose, and I did not
feel the neved of further Instructions of
vitileation because I had just been re
elected by the people with practical
unanimity. I offered to resign in order
to bring about the resignation of my
colleague and thus put us on a level,
with equal rights to go before the peo
ple and ask an endorsement of our re
spective courses.
While I would not appear, to pass
ttrictures upon the reasoning set forth
in your E1xcolency's letter, it seems
strange that the Governor of South
Carolina, just, returned from unveiling
a monument erected by the State in
memory of the "heroic soldiers who lost
their lives in defence of principle,"
should be oblivious to the principle in
volved in the iontest precipitated by
our resignations. It Is also somewhat
remarkable that you should ask the
Senators who have resigned to take
time to consider, when you yourself are
reported to be ready to appoint two
Senators in "two minutes and a half"
after receiving an immediate resigna
tion. Your conception of the office of
Senator and its powers can be best
understood by the case with wlich you
think you could fill it. It was not my
fault that an immediate resignation
was not sent you.
You declare that the "people are on
titled to one year of peace and freedom
f rom political battles and bitterness." I
am ready to acknowledge tbhat this is
very desirable, but our race has ever
thought war preferable to dishonor,
and unless I am very much deceived a
large majority of the people of South
Carolina would be glad of an opportun
ity to punish treachery and have those
principles and policies which they sup
port loya!'y represented in the Congress
of the United States. What you "con
sider a calamity"' would be hailed by
thousands as an opportunity to get rid
of a traitor' who now in their opinion
disg races the common wealth.
I amn aware that there is a strong 01)
p)osition in certain quarters to a cam
paign in this "off year" to fill two va
canies in the Senate. Many unthink
ing citizecns do not know its importance.
Many would be aspirants are not just
yet ready for various reasons to enter
the contest brought on so unexpectedly.
It is not convenient or suitable, and,
therefore, they have, no doubt, impor
tuned your Excellency to await their
convenience, claiming that it is for the
pulbliO welfare.
On the other hand, it might be re
marked that the session of congress be
ginning next December marks an era
In the history of our Republic, and the
patriots who will then and there In.
aumgu rate a struggle for the restoration
of tho old landmarks and t.he preserva
tion of our free Institutions, will need
every voice and every vote that can be
had.
The fact that the republicans have a
good majority does not alter the ease
In the least. The recent decision of
the Supreme Court, promulgating the
dlamnable doctrine that tbis Republic,
whose bedrock principle Is "the con
Bent of the governed," can acquire by
conquest or purcbase territories and
peoples, to be controlled and taxed
without representation through "con
g ressional absolutism" must be met and
exposed, and plans must be laid for a
battle to the death by the lovers of de
mocracy and liberty against this heresy.
An appeal against imperIalism, whichi
Is no longer concealed or denied, mus't
be made to the people, as it was miiado
against the Dred Scott decision.
And yet, with such a crisis at hand, a
Governor of this grand old State ap
peara willing to have the Stats misrep
resented and its voice silenced, because
Its two Senators stand on opposite sides
of the question. One must be right
'and the oth'or wrong. Which Is it? The
people alone can answer. I claim to
represent the people and to vole their
wishes. . The result of the Gaffney
meeting had brought Senator McLaurin
within roach ef his constituents, and I6
was to obtain this answer at onice that
prompted my conduct at Gaffney They

could not get at him to administer a
merited rebuke and punishment except
in the way which was offered by our
resignation. Your Excellency's action
gives him a loop-hole of escape, and the
censure or blame must rest where it
belongs.
There is nothing personal in my atti
tude towards Senator McLaurin, though
my language might indicate such feel
ing, but I speak bluntly because I have
been alwvays taught to call things by
their names. Nothing but a sense of
duty forces me to the course I have
p)ursued. Material prosperity and pro.
gress may be worth more than strict
adherence to principle and loyalty to
trust, but I cannot see it in that light.
Holding this view I decline for the
present to withdraw my resignation.
It was tendered in order to secure the
resignation of Senator McLaurin, and
will not bo withdrawn until he shall
have shown his unwillingness to let
our pecople pass upon his condition this
year instead of next. He declares in
his latest interview that "liIe will speak
on such invitations as he did at Gaffey
when possible, and will not consent to
any interference by Senator Tillmnan or
anybody else." Whether or not Mr.
McLaurin will be allowed to do this re
mains to be seen. If the people have a
right to hear him the same people have
a right to hear me and others. He no
longer seems to have anxiety about his
health, and if allowed to speak by him.
self rather enjoys the prospect.
