1893. The time for doing it is near
at hand. When Tillman was in
augurated the bonds of the State-
commanded a premium of about 5
per cent. What is the condition now?
W. T. Bates, State Treasurer, in his
last report to the General Assembly,
says: From the statements or ex
hibits given in this rejiort, an idea
can be found of the condition of the
financial affairs of the State.
No one can say that they are in an
“eminently satisfactory condition.”
An investigation clearly shows that
they are in an eminently unsatisfac
tory condition. The State Treasurer,
speaking of the act of the Geneial
. Assembly authorizing the refunding
of the bonds, says: “I complied with
instructions given me in the act, and
had proper notices inserted in news
papers; I also had circulars and copies
of the act printed, and notices given
that they could hc had upon applica
tion by parties desiring information,
and havy sent out a large number of
copies. Copies of the circulars and
notices are furnished with this report.
I also had prepared with much care
the necessary hooks in which to re
cord all transactions under the re
funding act, and duplicates of these
books for the offices of Governor and
Secretary of• State. An agreement
was euterered into with the American
Banknote Company to furnish the
necessary plates and to engrave the
bond and stock certificates as needed.”
The Treasurer goes on and tells us
he ordered and paid for hundreds of
thousands of bonds and stock certi
ficates. He says he has been able to
exchaiige only $29,309.70 of new four
per ccmts. for an equal amount of
Brown Consols. He acknowledges he
has failed to refund the debt at four
per cent. Georgia refunded her debt
at three per cent. It is clear a I ill-,
man Administration cannot refund it
at all. The above facts are taken
from the report of the Comptroller
General, a book Tillman promised
two fears ago he would ask the Leg
islature to print ten thousand copies,
and would distribute them among
the people that they might know
what is being done.
Citizens of the State, what shall
we do to avert the calamity? We must
get rid of Tillman or sink to the bot
tom and live in the dregs while he-
and his gang feast on the fat'of the
land at our expense.
Tillman, by bis acts, has clearly
shown he has no knowledge of our
popular form of government and laws.
He is domineering, dictatorial and-
tyrannical. His conduct has shown
he is dangerous and utterly unfit to
hold any official position. He has
involved the State in lawsuit after
lawsuit, in every one of which hc is
wrong except that of Coosaw. It was
based on the opinion of Attorney
General Connor, given in 1877 and
concurred in by every Attorney Gen
eral since that time. Tillmuii’s Ad
ministration is entitled to no credit
for gaining it, hut deserve censure
failure. If he is as anxious for the
success of the principles and measures
of the fanners’ movement as he is to
till his ]lockets with gold and silver
rocks ifiid have a good time, he will
quietly retire and advise the farmers
to look for another leader. But no

to be elected whether wc say so or
not. He has the count. Hc calls for
a Legislature of slaves to obey his
orders. I have heard all my life,

promises, and anxious for the success
of our cause, we took him up from

tells the country he was “blowing.”
