(BBHIK1L FARLEY 8I0WS HIM VF IS HIS TRUE LIUHT. 'm. ■ m V jl; HtBMicf4 as a Bally, Bra^a rl aa4 BaH«4 the H'haaijpioa Liar af tie State.” Adjutant Ucncrul II. L. Farley has given to the public the following letter denouncing Senator Irby and exposing his underhanded trickery: Various articles in reference lu politics and the “blacklisting'’ which is going on have apjicared in ilu ucwspa|ters of this State, and uiv name has been frequently used lit connection therewith, but I have paid very little attention to them, re garding them as merely sensational, in most cases, or as the petty malice of designing parties who only wanted to create more bitterness and division in the Reform ranks, to which I did not wish to contribute. Later developments, however, have convinced me that there is a settled, malicious and determined purpose, CUT the part of certain panics, not only to blacklist bnt to misrepresent MM Malign Me andothers, which has found expression m such a way as to cause my friends to ask me the reasOn for it. The first intimation I had of it was in the appearance of the fol Chronicle, signed "Craddock,” which appeared immediately after, the in- atigMel of President Cleveland, and was copied by varions paiiers in this Btatei "The leaders of the South Carolina Reform movement that assembled in Washington ditring the inauguration seemed to have more important bust- ness than eight-seeing. The rank and file of the Reform movement in the State have, to ail appearances, been •atMed with the leadership of Tillman and Irby, bnt not so with - MM of the Heutenants. One of the State officials announced to a sup. posed enemy of Governor Tillman and Senator Irby that the following Oombination bad been agreed upon: Congwsman tJhell, who signed the firtp£wdinanlfeito in two, and who, nil at dflolt tetthtlf became so dis* oliticians Had Himself Interviewed, an- 1-Tillman candidate ing as a healing He aai fbtgotehiorj _ blaster between Hie two factions. Senator Butler is to be their candi date fbr re-election. General Farley ia to snoceed Shell in Congress. Mr. Talbert is to have no opposition from the Conservative faction for Congress and {$ receive the Conservative yw adJwtanU [to have been offered J« H. Tillman, but it Is likely Inr wilt not accept.” Latm* an article appeared in the Lanrinsville Herald, in which the charge is made that I attended a Donaldson canons at Spartanburg, in whiahwisws aagtAn Mcntfoaed for it, and in short, to inquire who is the real author of "Craddock.” I will simply state that I have the evidence, in writing, in my pos session, which shows wifh other facts that 1 uni in possession of, that one Senator John fstureus Manning Irby dictated the article lo his private secretary and hud it sent to the Chronicle under the name of "Craddock,” the.-regular corree|M«n- dent, with the knowledge or consent, and that the outrage would have been exposed then (as it will be now) but for Ihe peculiar circumstances and relations existing at that time. I stand ready to give ray authority and evidence on denial or demand. There is the “milk in tue cocoanut’’ and the cause of the dicseiision ami confusion in our ranks. This great "political accident” and "political misfortune,” who represents the greatest mistake of .the Reform movement, is at the bottom of it all. No wonder that we have discord and division in our' ranks, when a United States Senator descedns to snch dirty methods of injuring his former personal and political friends and allies, who have rendered far f reater service than be to the lie- orm party. Now, the object and animus of Senator Irby is perfectly clear. Af ter proving himself a political fail ure in Washington and realizing that his political hold and dictato rial power is about dead in South Carolina—after losing all his pat ronage and Influence In Washington by his foolish course there where he rashly declared, although the State chairman of the Whole Democracy, that he did not want any reconcilia tion among the Democrats of South Carolina—after, in short, making an ass of and subjecting himself to the scorn and ridicule of the country— he tnrns, in his envy, malice and disappointment, Upon Congressman Shell and denounce him, and to blacken and "blaoklist” every man who thinks he cannot be made a tool of and will not submit lo his dicta tion. Knowing that he has no real power or influence of his own, he tries in every way to drag Governor Tillman into the quarrels, to attach himself to him like a Siamese twin, hoping to lave himself) and utider the cry of “The leaderihlp Of Till man and Irby” to brood the rest, who do noi approve Of hil foolish and unprincipled methods) as trai tors to Hie Kefdrni movement us sharpening their "Brutus daggers” for Ben Tillman. Hlspniposets td bully and keep down every other political leader in South Catjaiina Who belongs to the Reform party and will net do his bidding, by nsiog Governor Till man’s name and influence in connec tion with his own, to create suspi cion and distrust, and then, with bis former cry of hate and discord, to raise old Cain and keep hell a-brewing until he ean get back into the Senate. The simple truth is that the Re form movement is a permanent sue principles he presents and for the good of the State, and not in obe dience to the dragooning of any men or set of men. Snch things may do for slaves and cowards, bnt not for free ineti who call the uselvcs Re former*. We did not light for ten long years to secure imlejieiMleiiee of thought and action and lo free ourselves from mi mdoent!ic ring in order lo establish a new one of a more dangerous and nrbilrary char neti-r. I want it understood also that I will not follow or be gov- erenetl by such men as Irby, who, if allowed to have bis way. would not only blacklist us all, but drag the State into bloodshed and rctual rev olution, in order lo accomp’ish his sellisli purposes mid to gratify his malice and unibi i m. Me repre sents and personlies this idea and policy, while I do not believe that it is wise, statesmanlike or patriotic, much less Christian like, to lay to continue and to increase, us he evi dently desires, the present bitterness and discord in the Democratic par ty. It can only lead to disorder, riot, bloodshed and ruin, I um sorry that I feel compelled to make this exposure, bnt I cannot and will not submit to the long continued private as well as anonymous abuse and misrepre sentation of this loud-mouthed, vul gar-mannered bully and 'braggart, who has already disgraced us in Washington, and is now bringing discord Into out own ranks by play ing the part of a dictator and a ty rant. He has no good record, and has done nothing for the State, party or reform movement worthy of distinction, nnless it be for strut ting around Washington, as toy old friend Cash would say, "like a big buck nigger on emancipation dtty, while hJ is trying to make our inno cent and unsuspecting people be lieve that the bray of a jackass is the roar of a lion.

He fonne a frozen viper, fook it to his bosom, warmed it into life, and is now be ing repaid in denunciation and anonymous thrusts. I will not say anything of in gratitude to myself, as to our for mer personal (and as I thought friendly) relations, for I have long since found that I would have U, class all my connections with him as a part of my criminal practice as a iawyer, xor which I am possibly being justly repaid.

Gary, lu J87T-89; I stood spdnsef at Its christening lu- the March convention lu 1890, when Governor Tillman was nominated: and, as one of its principal nurses and defenders, I have seen it grow into strength, manhood and success i but now, if it is to be turued over to the tender mercies of such a stepfather os J- L. M. Irby, I am afraid it is dr. ied to defeat an untimely death. When Governor Tillman first started his work as a new-found leader of the movement, he sought my aid and assistance. The whole State knows how I stood by his side in the hours and days of ditli- oulty aud danger. He had my cor dial support and assistance iu his administration, and none but culm and ' dispmskrnnte counsel, which could make no enemy and injure no cause.
