1 regret wry much, that the Ad
ministration issue ha»beeu forced on
the conTention. J should have been
very glad had we adjourned without
anything calculated to bring about
bad feeling'having been brought up,
but as the issue has been forced, I
must with others enter my protest
against such a resolution as well us
.my reasons for so doing.
Taking them up in order we would
class, first what the. Governor him
self has done to merit praise. His
most effective measure was an as
sault upon the former administra
tions of the government and attacks
upon the reputation of those who had
been in charge of the State. In hie
first me^sagw he reiterated these
charges of fraud and comiptiou. A
committee of Fnvestigation ‘was ap
pointed by Idea tenant Governor
Gary, a majority of which committee
were sapporters of the, administrav
tion. This committee made a unna-
imous report that there was** foun
dation for any of the charges. This
report was endorsed'without a single
dissenting voic# by the “Reform”
legislature. *
One of Governor Tillnian’s first
acts after taking control of the State
was to ask for the organisation of »j
phosphate commission, on which be
and his friends were in a majority.
This was given him. The commis
sion was made up of members of his
cabinet and men of his own appoint
ment. The year that followed saw
the highest prices for phosphate that
* hare ever been paid and a greater
Nsc of them by the farmers, but no
efeurt was made to raise the royalty.
A suit was commenced against the
largest producer, which suit was
i Kress ary and was legitimate and the
result at the advice of Gen. Conner,

phosphate and to work an injury to
our own great industry from which
it can never recover. This litigation
attorneys of rival companies, ably and
faithfully managed, no doubt, but it
is humiliating as well as expensive
that the State can only say of the At
torney General that when he is in
structed to represent the State he has
shown good judgment by employing
good counsel.
In the railroad cases the Attorney
General has again vindicated the
judgment of the department by se
curing one of.the ablest lawyers in
the State to do the work which we
suppased he had been elected to do.
As in the other cases it is not credi
table to the State, nor is it economi
cal, that the Attorney General’s duty
should beiconfmed to getting .other
men to do his work.
Against the other departments
there is nothing to say.

I. ask this Convention where to
look for matter with which to praise
Governor Tillman’s administration?
Can they praise him fob slandering
and degrading the good name of her
pfeople; for creating distrushapd sus
picion .among those whose in teres tsj
are klentfcarand who should stand
close together for dividing the.party
whicji every .Interest demanded
should be solid; for promises of re-
treucht*etvt and ‘reform which have
'been kept in up-single instance; for
j/ucreasing the taxation when he
pfomidc^l to reduce it? (The Comp
troller Geiferal’s-report will show the
taxes to be $80,006 morc'than they
were imj year sihee 187'i.) Can we
praise, him for‘constantly attempting
to cottcentrato- jowef Sn his own
bauds,' for aVising atfd misusing it
when he has get foolishly, if not
critniiitlly,’.depriving the people of
