Washington, Special.?Under date of May 3, Senator McLaurin, of South Carolina, has issued the follow ing address to the people of South Carolina: "My Fellow Citizens of South Carolina: The great doctrine of representative responsibility is the foundation stone upon which ou? republic rests, and no one more keenly than I recognizes his accountability to the people of South Carolina {or all official acts. At the same time, no people who insist that their representatives adhere to political policies and traditions long since dead and declare them ?1 ovnr hornmp trnlv VlUti issues, >.au CIVI , great. Every advancement in the history of our race has been the direct result of independence of thought and action. In most of the States of this Union, this Is secured by the presence of two political parties and the resultant discussion of every public question before the people, who are thus enabled to form an intelligent opinion and give a verdict at the ballot box. Unfortunately in South Carolina for nearly 40 years we have been unable to have two parties for fear of negro domination, and for ten years, after the Hampton revolution ; in 1876, our people took no interest < in public affairs, beyond maintaining a 'white man's government.' About the year 1890, however, began what i was known as the 'farmers' movement,' which was nothing more than t an instinctive effort on the part of 1 the people to preserve the principle of self-government. With Shell, Irby, Norris, Tillman, Donaldson and others. I contributed what I could to i wards its success, simply because I , felt that agitation was better than stagnation, and it is passing strange. < in that connection, that the leader of i that movement, B. R. Tillman, was then denounced, as I am now denounced. for attempting to Mahoneize the State. The freedom of thought and action, however, which followed the farmers' movement, opened the doors ; for every white man and every negro who voted for Hampton in 1876, and ; | they could advocate whatever views they cared to express, provided only i that they took an oath to support the nominees of the pnmarj' eieeuwu. | Men who voted the national Republi- j I can ticket were allowed to vote in the I primary for State and county orfi- i cers. and I have heard from the same ! 1 platform men claiming to be Demo- j < crats. advocating Cleveland and the ' : gold standard, and others. Weaver i and free silver. And since then no at: tempt has ever been made to exclude ! i those who bolted with the indepen- ; j dent Haskill movement, the Populist ; ; Rowden movement, or the Republican Pope movement. "I was elected to Congress in 1S02, j nf?r,r a hontf>d ranvass azainst able i ; opponents and yet on every stump in | the district. I proclaimed my inde1 pendente and announced that upon ( i national questions I would follow my I ; own judgment and not be bound by j the caucus of any party. Although my : Democracy was assailed at that time, j I was elected four times upon the \ same declaration of principles. Carrying out my pledges to the people. I j began a systematic study of the ques- tiens of the day with the result that I changed my views -upon many of thorn. The first marked difference j with my party associates arose over the tarilT question while I was in the House and a memebr of its ways and | means committee. Again, in 1897 J when I was a candidate fo- the Sen- I ate, I was charged with being a Re- i publican, but I disregarde dthe char- j acterization, and resolutely contend- I ed that the policies which I advocated were for the material advancement of the people, regardless of how 1 they were labelled. "My attitude was endorsed by .10 j per cent, of those voting in the primary. and I came to the Senate. The issues growing out of the Spanish war widened the breach between myself j and the Democratic party leaders, for I could only follow the dictates of my , conscience and stand by American soldiers fighting upon a foreign soil. At that time the war was not a party | question and I hoped it would not be- j come so. In this I was disappointed ; nn-i u'.is snon confronted by the alter native of retracing my steps, or find- j ing myself in opposition to a majority j of the Democratic party leaders and excluded from their caucus. I conj eluded that not even a scat in the United States Senate was worth a : surrender of my convictions and that opinion is unchanged. There is not a speech or veto of mine upon any | question growing cut of the Spanish- j American war that I would change, even if I could, and which I do not ! take pride in. thus proving my loyalty j to my country. "I have ever maintained thin inde-1 j pendence of thought and action. Last . summer, recognizing my responsibility to the people, there being no cant1 paign in the State, I announced my I intention, of going before them for the purpose of discussing those national issues, I was immediately and violent" , ly assailed ioj^tdvocating Republi. ? f can doctrines an:l branded as a Republican in Democratic disguise. The State Democratic executive committee met and under the dictation of my colleague in the Senate, formally declared that I was not a Democrat. which formed the basis for sini ilav action on the part of the Democ-iatic caucus cf the United States Senate. The policy of my opponents ha;' been to be-little the real issues intc a personal quarrel between 'Tinman ami McLaurin.' This issue 1 am not willing to accept, as I do not propose to be influenced in my public course by personal spleen or petty jealousy. The public interests should never be subordinated to purely per sonal ends. Now, the proposition of my political enemeis is to exclude me from the primary as a candidate, r-r.d to exclude all candidates of ofFee who entertain my vie?s, and thus preveui the people from hearing me in justification of my course and in advocacy of the absorbing public measures now confronting the American people. I am convinced and forewarned of this purpose to exclude me and my friends, because I have read the speech of Senator Tillman, the acknowledged dictator of the Democratic machine of South Carolina, delivered at Manning, in. which he directs revision of the rules and form and oath of the party for the purpose of excluding myself and friends from uarticinatine in the Drimarv. 1 resent the suggested exception of myself, for of course I would not make my race for the Senate, or proclaim my views under conditions which were not equally applicable to those who entertain and advocate my views, 1 have an abiding faith that it will yet be rhown that the dictator of the machine is not the exponent of the views of the majority of our people. The primary system adopted in our State through the farmers' movement has been prostituted and perverted into a political machine for the purpose of exclludlng all candidates who are no: In full accord with the views and wishes of the dictator. The question, therefore is, will the people of the State submit to disfranchising the intelligent people and excluding them Crcm our elections? ' With such a system I have no sympathy and feel impelled by a strict sense of duty, to warn the people against such tyranny as it encourage! and establishes. With these facts bofore me, and my convictions as to the Ciiginal purpose of the primary system. I am driven to the conclusion that it has subserved its purposes and has outlived its usefulness. It is. therefore, a matter cf no concern to rne what may be the action of the May convention at to the rules of the primary and a rev.sion of its pledges. "The suppression of free speech and independence of action by such moans renders it impossible for any se'f-respecting citizen holding my views, to become a candidate in the Democratic primary in South Carolina. It is apparent that the system has been warped and twisted so as to serve the one purpose of throttling free speech, free thought and liberty of action. The primary system in South Carolina has been sacrificed upon the altar of partisanship anc1nersonal malienitv. and has there fore become unpatriotic and useless and should be ignored and finally repudiated by our people with a purpose similar to my own, to look hopefully to the results o? a fair and just general election under our State and national laws. "A party yoke has been placed upon our people and it has become too galling for further endurance, and jet I realize that many of my loyal f.icnds would even Di ce more hold in check their resolution not to again enter our system of primary elections in crder to again vote for me, but I have reached the point where I will r.ot subject them to subscribing to an cath to support men and measures which do not represent their views upon the issues of the American people. ' Respectfully, "JOHN LOWNDES McLAURIN." Funeral of Amos Cummings. Washington. Special?In pursuance of the resolution adopted by the House Sunday memorial services were held over the remains of the late Representative Amos J.
