TILLMAN AND BLEASE F VERBAL BOU( What Tillman Says about Blease I nr.<.u:nnf/vn Tnlw 1 (? ?Rofprrinir KilSUIlIgVUU, uuir XV. xnxv. r, to affairs in South Carolina, Senator Tillman said today: "I notice that Governor Blease has broken loose again. He makes a misstatement, to speak mildly,and I feel compelled to correct him. He went to Hendersonville the other day and in a telegram to the Columbia Record he is made to say: " 'Senator Tillman ruined himself with the people of South Carolina in ! just the same manner when he went about lecturing instead of remaining I in Washington and attending to the business in the Senate.' * "I have lectured very extensively throughout the country, but I never neglected any Senatorial work to do it, as the record will show. I do not; recall ever having left Washington | while the Senate was in session ex- j ceeding half a dozen times to deliver lectures. Then I went to nearby points I could reach after the Senate adjourned for the day, deliver the lecture that night and return to Washington the next morning. I have received offers time and again to lecture while Congress was in session. But I always declined. I could have made tens of thousands of dollars had I believed it right to do so. "Governor Blease has recently done two things about which I want to say something. I have been amused at the subtleness and cunning he | has shown in getting out of the militia muddle. He double-somersaulted instantly, and was so anxious to comply with the requirements of the War department that he telegraphed his acquiescence to the Secretary's demands. The mail was too slow for him. "Another thing the Governor has done recently is the letter he wrote to the supervisors of registration ordering them peremptorily to register ii wrfcit-o mon Hia pxftet words are: 'Let no white man be refused.' "I have examined the law carefully to see just how far the supervisors ought to go, and I take the liberty of advising them to obey the law, the strict letter of the law. and register only men qualified under the law who will take the oath required. That oath is as follows: " 'I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I am a male citizen of this State and of the United States; that I am 21 years of age or more, that I have resided in this State for two years, and in this county for one year, and in the polling precinct in which I apply to be registered and in which I will offer to vote if registered for four months, and that I have not been convicted of burglary, arson, obtaining goods or money under false pretences, perjury, forgery, bribery, adultery, bigamy,wife-beating, housebreaking, receiving stolen goods, breach of trust with fraudulent intent, fornication, sodomy, incest, assault with intent to ravish, miscegenation, larceny or crimes against the election laws.' "I am very anxious to have all white men who can take the above oath register and thus beable to fulfill their duties as citizens. But it will be a fearful blunder and crime for anybody in South Carolina to -a _ ... . , lay the foundation or give excuse ior the House of Representatives or the Senate of the United States to throw out a Senator or Congressman elected from South Carolina because of illegal registration. The Republicans are not now in power, and the danger is not so great as it once was. But even a Democratic Senate and a Democratic House cannot afford to tolerate anything smacking of illegality or fraud. "The law as it stands now requires the people to elect Senators by di- j rect vote, and I do not want to see j South Carolina jerked up for illegal voting. Until we get our primary : law amended by the Legislature so as to remove all possibility of the charges of fraud and bribery in the: primary, we cannot afford to take! any chances. "If Governor Blease will exert * - ? v - ?^ - j6,vi k LING jUETS AT EACH OTHER. What Blease Says about Tillman Columbia, July 17: ? Governor! - i Blease declared it as his opinion that Senator Tillman broke down his health by his lecturing tours and "ruined his usefulness to the people of South Carolina by running round over the country delivering lectures and overworking himself,"in a statement today,replying to Senator Tillman's interview in the morning papers. He repeated his criticism of Secretary of State Bryan for lecturing while holding his present office. Says the Governor's dictated statement: "Yes, I have noticed Senator Till- J man's interview. "The first part of it is brought about by a statement published in the newspapers which is absolutely untrue, and if the Senator had read in the News & Courier Mr Caldwell's report, he would have seen the difference. I did not state, as quoted by Senator Tillman, and as published in the Columbia Record: 'Senator Tillmah ruined himself with the people of South Carolina in just the same manner when he went about lecturing: instead of remaining: in Washington and attending to the business in the Senate.' What I said, and now repeat,was that Senator Tillman broke his health down and ruined his usefulness to the people of South Carolina by running around over the country delivering lectures and overworking himself. I repeat that now. "I was also misquoted in tne paper as to what I said about Secretary of State Bryan. I said nothing about him drawing two salaries, because anybody with good sense knows that a matter of holding a public office and appearing on the platform are not in conflict with each other, so far as the salary is concerned; but what I said was that I did not think that the Secretary of State of this great nation should be going around a Chautauqua under the management of some little fellow like a circus rider under a ringmaster,and I still think it is beneath the dignity of the position which Mr Bryan holds for him to so act. So "? """""I' Jo nnnoornofl t'VlH f in ioi ao iiiuucj 10 wuvttuvu, vt?Mv, my opinion, is not to be taken into consideration in the matter at all. It is a question of dignity on his part. "As for the remaining part of Senator Tillman's interview, I care to have nothing to say. It shows what I have long since said, and what I repeated at Hendersonville. that the old man is very weak-minded, he is now enfeebled and I am satisfied that his past conduct in his own elections is working on his enfeebled mind, and no doubt the loss of life in the Darlington riot is also playing its part in his reference to ' nUimfiAn in f^ie Qfoffi LUC Illlliua fliuatiun 111 bills uiuvv, and he is more to be pitied than to be blamed." himself to see that the Legislature at its next session passes a reasonable and just law to insure honesty and fairness in our primary, all will be well. I want to emphasize this, and I say it with all due solemnity: "If money buys the next Senatorship in South Carolina, as it may do, and as it is charged it has done in the recent Concessional race in tne First district,I will feel compelled to object to the seating of any man sent here with a tainted title. "I join with Governor Blease in urging our people to register. While it may be ^training a construction of the law in any other than a general election year for supervisors to go to places away from the court house in each county, I can see no harm in + U#> + TUfltr ore narmittod onH Cfifl lliai. IliV-J Ul V [A/lilUVVVU MMW go to any place they see fit for the meagre salaries they receive. But every good citizen ought to see to it that no illegal registration is permitted,because as things are now in South Carolina, illegality, dishonesty or fraud, either in the primary or in the general election, will prove very dangerous. Every fair-minded man wants honesty and fair play, and every patriot will abide the result of an election so conducted, whether his side loses or pins." ; .V ?
