C|e S?atejjmaii anft * outbro?. WSDNESDA Y, AUGUST 17,1892. Tillman as a Slanderer. A Malicious Libel on Ex-Governor J. P. Richardson. The Insinuations of Govern TiUman's or Syeech at Marion, on July 2, La sc, Proven to be False and without Jus tification or Excuse?The Case Proven by Clear and Indisputable Evidence. Columbia, August 11 ?Governor John P. Richardson arrived in the city today, and this afternoon gave the press of the State a vigorous and complete answer to the insinuations with refer ence to his ose of the contingent fond The answer is strong and not liable to be misunderstood. It speaks for itself and is as follows : Panola, S. C., August 10, 189*2. To the People of South Carolina : In his speech at Marion, as reported in the Colombia Daily Register of July 2, 1892. Governor Tillman undertakes to criticise my disbursement of the leg islative appropriations during my term of office as Governor for 4'repairs and improvements to and furniture for the Governor's Mansion," etc, and points out certfin items of..expenditure made by me for which be says there are no vouchers, thereby insinuating tbat i have made an improper use of public money committed to my charge. To those who know me, and I trust there are few in this State to whom I am a stranger, I need not say tbat Governor Tollman's insinuation is* false. The items as he states them, and to which he calls attention as being with out vouchers, are tbe following : (1) 1887. February 11, J. P. Richardson, no voucher $1,000 00 (2) 1887. March 2, J. C. Neil son, per Louis R. Cha zal, no voucher 501 10 (3) 1887. March 2, Louis R. Chazal, no voucher 370 75 (4) 1888 October 31, J. P. Richardson, no voucher 198 40 WHO stole THESE records ? All State vouchers are required by law to be filed in the office of Comp troller General and the vouchers for these kerns were filed there, and some weeks ago when I went to the Comp troller General's office to get these vou chers I was amazed to find them miss ing. How, when or by whom they were mislaid or abstracted 1 do not know. I do know that Comptroller General EHerbe did inform me that he had nothing whatever to do with this matter, and tbat the investigation of these vouohers bad been made solely by Governor Till man's private secretary, and wholly without bis supervision. The amounts above stated were all expended according to law in furnish ing the Governor's Mansion, and Gov ernor Tillmman knew this, or ought to have known it, when be made his men dacious insinuation against me, for all the articles purchased with this money were then in the Executive Mansion and in daily use by Governor Tillman and his family. A foil and complete inventory was then and is now on file in tbe Secretary of State's office, and for which I have a receipt. 1 have been at much pains to supply the miss ing vouohers. and have delayed answer ing Governor Tillmau's slander until 1 could procure them. tub vouchers duplicated. I sow proceed to vouch the abovo ?ems as follows : (1) 1887, February 11, J. P. Richardson, no voucher $1,000 00 (2) 1887, March 2, J. C. Neilson, per Louis R. Chazal, no voucher 501 10 (3) 1887, March 2, Louis R. Chazal, no voucher 870 75 Total $1.871 85 These amounts, aggregating $1,871 85, were expended for me by Mr. J. C Neilson, of Baltimore, then tbe archi tect fo charge of tbe State Houpe work, > in the purchase of furniture and uphol stery/or tbe Executive Mansion, all of which was in tbe mansion when Gover . nor Tillman took possession of it. At the time of the purchase Mr Neilson sent me the receipted bills for the entire amount, and the same were duly filed in the office of the Comptroller General as required by law. At my request Mr. Neilson has eudeavored to procure j for me duplicate receipted bills, and he has d?ne so, exceptas to ?147 53 of tbe amount as follows: Knipp & Bros' bill $ 882 75 Griffith & Co's bill 153 40 Matbews & Kirkland's bill 380 00 Shirley ? Son's bill 270 87 Davidson & Co's bill 37 30 Total $1.721 32 The remaining $147.53 was expend ed by him for other small articles and for the incidental expenses of packing and transportation, as will appear by his affidavit which be has scut mc, and which is as follows : neilson's affidavit. In the months of January, February and March of the year 1887 I expended in the purchase of furniture for the res idence of the Governor in Columbia, South Carolina, and for such incidental expenses of packing and transportation as belonged thereto, the sum of $1,871 85. ? al?O supplied to Gover nor J. P. Richardson an inventory of said furniture and receipted bills aggre gating tbe above sum of ?1.871 85. J. Crawford Nhilson. State of Maryland, city of Baltimore: On this 5th day of August, 1892, be fore the subscriber, a no'ary public of the State of Maryland, in and for Bal timore city, personally appeared J. Crawford Neilson aod made oath io doe form of law tbat the above statement is true aad correct. Witness my band and official seal. Thomas Keli Bradford, Notary Public. tiis original "rafts. I have aieo obtained from the Caroli na National Bank of Columbia tbe three drafts which I purchased from the bank, and by which the ?1,872 85 was remitted to Mr. Neilson, and those from whom he purchased tbe furniture These drafts wore drawn by the Caroli na National bank of Columbia on the National Bank of the Republic, of New York, and having been paid by the lut ter bank were in due course of business returned to the former bank. They are as follows : (1) Draft, February 11, 1887, to order J. P. Rich ardson to order of J. Crawford Neilson, and en dorsed in blank by J. Crawford Neilson $1,000 00 (2) Draft, March 2, 1887, to order of J. C. Neilson, endorsed by J. C. Neilson 501 10 (3) Draft, March 2, 1887, to order of J. C. Knipp & Bro and endorsed by J. C. Knipp & Bro 370 75 Total $1,871 85 The only remaining item pointed out by Governor Tillman as being without vouchers is the above stated item : (4) October 31, 1888, J. P. Richardson, no voucher $ 198 40 This amount was drawn by me and expended by me personally in the city of Columbia in the purchase at different places of sundry articles for the Execu tive Mansion. All the bills making up this amount were receipted and were filed as vouchers in the Comptroller General's office and should be there now. The articles purchased were left in the Executive Mansion and are now, I presume, in the U30 of Governor Till man and his family. My private secre tary, Mr. W. E. Gonzales, has furnish ed me with his affidavit to the effect that his attention was particularly call ed to these vouchers by his predecessor, Mr. L R Chazal, and that he Sled them with the Comptroller General. AFFIDAVIT OF W. E. QONZALSS. State of South Carolina, County of Richland : Personally comes W. E. Gonzales, who, being duly sworn, says that he succeeded L. R. Chazal as pri vate secretary to Governor John P. Richardson. That among the papers turned over to this deponent by the said L. R. Chazal, pertaining to the Govor uor's office, were vouchers for $198 40, moneys expended by Governor Richard son for the Executive Mansion. That the said L R. Chazal called this deponent's attention especially to these vouchers, stating to him that they were the paid bills for a warrant that Governor Richardson had drawn to set tle up ail claims against the Executive Mansion fund : that all other vouchers pertaining to the appropriation for the furnishing of the Executive Mansion had been Sled with the Comptroller General by him, and be, the said L R. Chazal, asked this deponent to Sie these vouchers for the said $198 40 with the Comptroller General. That this depo nent did file the said vouchers in the Comptroller General's office. W. E. Gonzales. Sworn to before me this 2d day of August, 1892. J. Q Marshall. Notary Public. All the papers and documents refer red to above hav? been placed by me in the office of the clerk of the Court for Richland County for public inspection. WnT TUB MANSION NEEDED REPAIR. There is one other fact to which 1 would briefly call attention?the condi tion of the Executive Mansion when I was inaugurated Governor a'-d the cir cumstances under which the various appropriations for its repair, famishing, lighting, etc, were made. It had been rendered almost uninhab itable by the damages consequent upon the earthquake of 1886, so much so that I had decided not to occupy it, as its condition would likely render it precarious to health. Wichout any solicitation or suggestion on my part, however, at the session of that year the committee on public buildings, whose chairman was Dr. George R. Deau, of Spartanborg, made an examination of the Mansion and reported its condition to the House with the recommendation that a sufficient appropriation be mado for its thorough refitting, repair, fur nishing, lighting, etc, which was promptly adopted by the Legislature, and contrary to my wish the whole sura and its expenditures was placed under the sole control of the Governor, to whose order it was made payable. The duty thus imposed by Legislative Act I had to discharge to the best of my ability. As I remember, without the record being before me, the first appropriation was $2.700, tho second $1,590, the third $570 and the fourth a similar amount, I think?thus distributing the whole amount for these varied and costly purposes through the four years of my Administration. The result was that, instead of finding a much dilapidated house almost bare of everything, Governor Tillman could on the day of his inauguration have dined at the Mansion in all the comfort afforded by a completely-furnished establishment, in excellent order, by simply taking his servants and provisions with him. JCST LIKE TILLMAN. Governor Tollman's attack upon me is characters'ic of the man of his dis reputable methods. It is utterly inexcusable. It is not the result of an honest mistake into which lie has fallen. He is a man in public life, familiar with the course of official business, and presumably, to say the least, acquainted with those laws of the State regulating the conduct of the Executive department of the State Govern meat, lie knows j that by Section 578 of the Genera' Statutes the Comptroller is required U "examiue and annually report to the General Assembly on the accounts of all persons haviog the distribution of public money." He knew, or with little effort might bave ascertained, that tha four items to whicc he has called attention were examined and reported to the General A.-sembiy, the list tlireo Comptroller General Stoney and the last one by , Comptroller General Verner. See I Comptroller Reports for 1887, at page j 106, and for 1888, at pages 10 and 05. In Gen. Stoney's report for ltfJST the statement in distinctly made that the warrant for ?1 ??? ^^a.s for the purchase ! of furniture?a fact delibera'ely sup press"! by Governor Tillman, conduct that lawyers would characterize as ? suppressio ?eri or suggestio falsi. He knew, or he ought to have known, that the?e gentlemen would Dot and I could Dot have reported the?e item? of i expenditure to tho General Assembly unless the proper vouchers therefore had been filed in their office. Governor Tillman knew, or ought to have known, all this, at,d yet, regardless of ail de cency and consulting only his own Beinah ends, he has d< liberatcly falsified the truth, and added one more to the long list of base slanders which he ir.3 perprt*r*?ted against the honest and honorable men of this State. It is no excuse for Governor Tillman to say or claim that it wa.s not his duty to investigate any further than the official record, for any f*ir aud ;u>t and truth fui man, before iosiouatiog sucb grave charges against the humblest citizen, would surely have adopted the simple method pursued by me in ascertaining the facts and truth as here presented to you. But no; he Is persistently following the plan of campaign which bis evil and malicious genius first devised aod practiced of making charges and allegations, regardless of truth or innocence, and throwing the onus pro bandi upon the guiltless victim. "God Almighty's gentleman" does little credit to the charaoter so brazenly and impiously assumed. But the fate of the slanderer is cer tain and sure though the "Mill of the gods does grind slowly," and the day is not far distant, I believe and trust, when the high, chivalrio aod patriotic people of gallant old South Carolina will thrust from them forever these horrid and disgusting spectacles of moral gboulism and triumphantly save the grand old Democratic party from utter ruin threatened it by pharisaical friends and false leaders. With great respect, yourffellow citi zen, J. P. Richardson. Governor Richardson hopes that svery paper in the State that circulated Governor Tillmau's slander will do him tbe justice to publish his reply. _ A. K. The Law of Primaries.

No, not near so much as we used to." "Why, what is the matter?" asked the Governor. "Oh, Tillman is such a liar." "What has he lied about?" "He promised to do a sight of things that be has not done. He's just lied about everything. "Are you a Tillman man?" "I used to be, but God knows Pm not now," replied Mr. Potts. "Do you know Tillman when you see him?" "No, and I don't want to."
