J mao's letter regarding the part played io the now faraoas "Oraddo article : Owing to the serions illness of Gillespie and a necessary trip to Wi ington this statement has been ooav ably delayed several days. There are many reasons why I rej being drawn into the controversy tween Senator Irby aod General 1 ley : Both have been friends of n and io the capacity of newspaper cor pondent I have never hesitated extend to them eoortesies tn return courtesies. Bot Senator Irby io letter printed throughout ?he State Joly 14th did me a gross injustice i wantonly imposed opon the pleas relations which have heretofore exits between ns. It is only from a st sense of doty which I owe to mys and none the less to Geoeral Farl that I submit to have my name drag( before the public in a wrangle undig Ged as it is cn pleasant. It is not my purpose to exoner General Farley from any alleged cbai or to magnify the faults of Senator Irl but to clear myself of implications duplicity which are both false and mi cious. I cannot permit even Sena Irby to clean his own skirts of a stec if I must bear the odium. I have sa as I believed, that Senator Irby dict?t the dispatch now under discussion, bis private secretary, as I was inform by one of the operators at the telegra office that the message was typewritt on Senatorial paper, but it proved to a mistake. (When I added the po; script to my letter to General Farley gave him my reasons for thinking il Senator Irby had dictated the article his secretary and quoted tibe opera! alluded to as my authority. Genet Farley will bear me out in this stat meat. If it is desired, I can secure ? affidavit from the operator, stating th he told me the dispatch was on Seo toriai paper aod typewritten ) I ba just returned from Washington where went for the purposes of proving tl dispatch to have been written as 1 ht said. I wished to be convinced th any charges I might prefer we true. I had thought Senator Irl capable of deceit, but only when arrived there did I learn tb at he w unscrupulous. With authority fro the Hon. Patrick Walsh, editor of tl Chronicle, to examine all specials sei to bis paper, I began search for tl "Craddock" dispatch, and after diligei labor, the officials of the Western Unie Telegraph Company found the origin manuscript. To my utter astonishment, it was i my own handwriting and signed wit my non de plume, the same dispatc dictated to me by Senator Irby an which I returned to him, refusing to t a party to a scheme to misrepresei public men whom I knew to be m friends. In handing the dispatch bac to Senator Irby, I said : 4'You ma send this of your own accord to tb Register" It never once entered m mind that he would dare to use th dispatch as has been done. His coo duet shows bim to be farsighted an astute. 1 doubt not but at that mc ment be thought that I could never dis prove having sent the special even if should ever dare to make an expose c him. It is perhaps proper for me t assign my reason for not promptly re podiating the authorship of tho Crad dock dispatch. I had hoped at the tim that the affair would blow over withou injuring the parties maligned. More over, I am free to confeso that Senato Irby had placed me, as he thought under more or less obligations, to hin when he endorsed my application for i consulate. Inasmuch as he freely pu his name on my paper I did feel kindly to him. His endorsement was not entirely necessary, as I had the names of ever other member of the South Carolin* delegation, with the exception of Mr Talbert, whom I did not ask, besides tnt endorsement of Speaker Crisp and Viet President Stevenson. It was through the advice of the Vice President that ] first contemplated making an applica? tion at all, Mr. Stevenson having beet in Congress with my father for a num? ber of years and one of his warmest friends. It was only when I returned to South Carolina and found that the dispatch had injured General Farley, as Senator Irby had foreseen it would, that 1 told him all I knew about the matter. I was simply prompted by a sens3 of justice to pursue such a course as I bad nothing to gain and I realized that I would forfeit Senator Irby's friendship and that he would do all he could in the ? future to iojure me. But I never j believed for one instant that be would j try to shift the contumely of this mat? ter from his own sheulders to mine. While I admire bis audaoity, I am astounded at his impudence. It is but fair to say*tbat as soon as Senator Irby disclosed tbe cloven hoof, I at I onoe wrote to tbe Secretary of Sta?e to return to Senator Irby his letter of j endorsement and to erase his name from my application. Under the cir? cumstances 1 could not honorably ac? cept any benefit that might be derived i from Senator Irby'a endorsement, j The following are thc conditions, as near as I eau recall, surrounding the origin and writing of the now famous I or notorious "Craddock" dispatch : ' On the morning of March ll I visit ed the capitol, as was my custom in ! getting up news, aud tbere met Senator I Irby, who told me bc bad a sensation he would like for me to send to my paper. Theo and there, quoting Mr. Left witch of Spartanburg as hts authority, (I don't believe Mr. Leftwiteh gave him any such information) be told me in substance what afterwards appeared in the Chronicle. I was wary of handling the news and told Senator Irby that I would rall at bis room that night and tate over tbe matter with bim. Accordingly between 9 and 10 I o'clock p rn , Major W. T. Gary and I myself dropped in to see Senator Irby at the National Hotel. After disowss- : in^ the matter for some time, probably f half an hour, Seoator Irby dictated to me the o;igtDal "Craddock" special. It was read a lo ad to Major Gary Senator Irby's request for Gary's or cism. Major Gary was reading so newspaper while the article was bei dictated and io cons?quence had i paid much attention to its composit until hie attention was directed to it. soon afterward left Senator Irby's ro and went over to the Metropolit Hotel and read the dispatch to some my friends for their advice as whether it should be eent off. Til with one accord agreed that I bad b< lei it alone. I also came to the sat conclusion, and leayiog them I wc down into the lobby of the Metropolit Hotel where ? met Mr. Tom Giileep I beckoned him into the reading ro< and read to bim some other dispatch which I had written in connection wi the one dictated by Senator Irby, told Mr. Gillespie that I could i handle the Irby dispatch and request him to go with me to the Senato quarters for the purpose of retnroii to him the matter he had dictated, ai from there we would go to t telegraph office and Gie my remaioii dispatches, one relating to Cleveland opposition to Crisp, and the otb giving some personals and matters local interest. After returning Senator Irby's room I handed him t dispatch, and as to what oonversatii took place between us I beg leave refer to the following letter from M Gillespie. : [COPY] "COLOMBIA, S. C., July 22, 1893. Mr. James H. Tillman, Clark's Hil S. C. .'MY DSAR SIR : However much regret to have my name figure in newspaper controversy, 1 feel hon bound, when called upon by you, tell all I know in connection with th portion of the article sig Led 'Craddock now in dispute. As you know, at and previous to tl time this dispatch was sent I was sto] ping with you in your room at 412 S ixl street, N. W. On March ll th, while we were i dinner, you told me of a coo versatio you had with Senator Irby at the Cap toi that morning in which the latte gentleman, quotiog a man name Leftwitcb, ot Spartanburg, as hi authority, told you of an alleged polit cal combination between Butler, Shel Fenley and others, and asked you I print it in the Augusta Chronicle You said you told bim you woul think over the matter aod call at hi room that night. We parted afte dioner, and it was io the lobby of th Metropolitan Hotel at about 10:30 r. m. that I next saw you. You ba some dispatches in your hand an called me into the reading room wber you read them. If I am not mistake: you 6rst read the one about Clevelan opposing CriBp, theo you said : 'Her ia that thing that Irby dictated to me while ago aod wants me to send ofi but I have just read it to some friend who advised me to have nothing to d with it and I propose to stick to thei advice/ or words to that effect. Yo theo asked me to walk over to Senato Irby's room with you aod from ther we would go to the telegraph office After reaching Seoator Irby's room yoi called him out io the hallway nea where I was standing and banded bin the dispatch about the political eombi nation, telling bim as you did so, (I d not remember Che exact language) tba you could not badle the 'stuff,' for tb reason that you did not believe tb accusations true, aod knew that part at least, which referred to yourself, wa false; that you could not refer to your self in one of your own dispatches - sot that while you felt obligated for hi endorsement, you could not and woul< not use your paper to injure gentlemei whom you regarded as your friends We then left and went directly to th? telegraph office, at corner of Ffteeotl and F streets, where you filed you dispatches, and from there we went t< your room and retired. This is all tba I now recall relative to the matter, i am, very respectfully, (Signed) THOS. D. GILLWPIE." This dispatch, which I returned te Senator Irby, was that night filed at the Western Union telegraph office after 1 had gone to bed and dearly without mj knowledge or consent. As to the card of Mr. Tighe I beg leave to introduce the deadly par aile with an affieavit from Mr. F. C Catigh man whose veracity no man will seri? ously question in Mr. Caugh man's pres euee : Mr. Tigbe'a card : Mr. Caughman's affl * * * Ur.James davit: H.

I never gave Mr. Till? man any certificate slating that be bad told me be waa the au thor of "Craddock." The certificate simply stated that he told me he was responsible for it. F. C. CauffffVAN. Sworn to before me tbis 20th day of July, 1893. W.H. STACK, Trial Justice. In order to settle all dispute as to the nature of the certificate given me by Mr. Ca ugh mao, it. ie still io my posees sion and is here reproduced : "This is to say that Mr. James I Tillman told me be was responsible fi the article signed 'Craddock' publish? in last Sunday's Chronicle. (Signed) 4*F. C. GAUGUM!*." This certificate, if such it may 1 called, was given me by Mr. Caoghmt at my request) as it was being circu?; ted by idle tattlers that Mr. Caoghma and I had bad 80me hot words and th J t bad repudiated any responsibility f( any and all parts of the 'Craddock' dil patch, a report whieh was entirely ut founded and ontrfie. Now as regards Dr. Pope's reeplenc ent and voluntary testimony, t sha have little to say. His sole purpose wa evidently intended, regardless of tr ut and fact, to extricate Senator Irby froi an un forton ate situation. Dr. Pop was io Columbia a few days precedi? the appearance of Senator Irby's rep! and conversed on this subject, ver promiscuously. Some of the gentlemei to whom he talked told me that Di Pope had either lied to them or to th public io his card. ( If Dr. Pope de sires the names of these gentlemen h can get them ) His card is brimful c misstatements and inaccuracies. I the firat plaoe there is no telegraph o! flee on Fourteenth street. Io the sec ond place, to the best of my recoilectioi the artiole was never read to him, o if it was, it was in the presence of Majo Gary, before I left Senator Irby's roos the first time. As for his saying tba I told him whenever I bad communies tions of this character to publish I usa the noni de plume "Craddock" instea< of "J. H. T.," it is absurd, for all o my dispatches to the Chronicle, evei those of the most trivial character, wer either not signed at all or signed "Crad dock/' I preferred a norn de plum for the excusable reason that I was tire? of seeing my name in print Dr. Pop* has probably taken this opportunity U inject hie imaginative and corroborativi testimony into this controversy for tot parp?se of settling an old score. 1 once alluded to him io one of my "hor rible" "Craddock" dispatches as "ron niog from the cable cars" while ii Washington. He bas never liked mi since. There are other things, too that serve to chill his affections. Whee Dr. Pope came to Washington soot after the inauguration to prosecute hil candidacy for marshall be asked me t< puff him in the Evening News (Wash? ington) for the place. I declined anc assigned as my reason that 1 had othei preferences. He then said that if h< was not appointed marshal, he was ? candidate for Governor and that th? next Governor of South Carolina "woulc have to beat Samps. Pope for nomi? nation." He requested me to telegraph this ne * s to my home papers and ?tan him a boom for Governor. I refus?e to do this for reasons entirely satigfac tory to myself aod seemingly anpleasant to Dr. Pope. He grew somewhat testy and then said, "well damn it, POD going back to South Carolina io a feu days and don't propose to ride on thc Richmond & Danville Railroad because it won't pay its taxes. Will you tele? graph that V I told him yes ?od laugh? ingly suggested that he ni ig in run hie gubernatorial campaign with that as t j platform. My conduct on this occas i OB was probably the inspiration of Dr Pope's card aod is the Iliad ol' his woes and ''horrors" therein contained. Dr. Pope is a sort of amateur jour oalist himself, and while in Washington frequently passed away odd montent* preparing norn de plume production! foi the Carolina reform papers, professing ! to give the political situation at the j national capital, in all of which be I never forgot to say a good wofd foi fope. 44 Warwick" was his favorite cognomen, and it was under thu mighty name that he most of tea Wei id ed his graphic peo to tell the peopl? o? South Carolina what a really great mao he was, and what a fine chance he stood to be marshall. (The public will please refer to the files of the Columbia Reg i ste ? for a corroboration of this assertion. I desire to call especial attention to the card published by Senator Irby from Major Gary. He very adroitly said "the artiole signed 'Craddock' wai not dictated ly you to your private secre* (ary,r but be did oot sir? ??Vat it was not dictated by Senator Irby to tbt and 1 defy Senator Irby to get any state? ment from Major Gary to that effect. Senator Irby io bis letter said J Major William T. Gary, of A agost a, aod Mr. James H. Tillman came into my sit* ting room at the National hotel. Major Gary said to Tillman that what he bad told bim a few moments before ought to be repeated to Irby. I asked bim what it was and Tillman told the follow? ing tale."* * * Maj Gary said no such thing and ho will not verify any snob statement. The conversation was brought op by Senator Irby himself, and was simply a rehash of what be had told to me that morning, and Major Gary, who Was present, writ not corroborate a single assertion made by Senator Irby other than the fact that the dispatch was not dictated by him to his private secretary. Senator Irby also said by way of an introduction to his card that I told bim I bad just left General Farley in the Metropolitan Hotel. This is ridiculous. General Farley bad returned to South Carolina and Senator Irby knew it The rest of his story is wholly imaginary and viciously false, even onto tbe paren? thetical assertion tbat "Gov. Tillman and Congressman Tillman were not on speaking terms bot it was necessary for him to inject tbis statement into bis tale to make it plausible. Thc fact that General Farley bad prepared an article on the political situation io South Carolina was no secret. He read .it to me moire than six weeks before the inauguration, and before and since that time bat read it to mauy others. There was nothing whatever in it de? rogatory to Goveruor Tillman or any of thc leaders, This particular "Craddock" dispatch is not the only one everseot by Senator Irby to the Chronicle. The following appeared io that paper simultaneously with the Colombia Register. It was dictated by Senator Irby to Mr, W. J. Shelton and was Sied at the Western Union telegraph office by Senator Irby himself. On the margin io his (Irby's) handwriting is : "Charges wi!! be paid by Senator Irby if declined.

I have never objected to this dis? patch, as Senator Irby's good opinion of bia own eloquence and oratorical powers could iujure no one. Theil, too Senator Irby waa not * entirely sober on this particular night, and was hardly responsible for his own grandiloquent ideas, thoughts and conduct. (I have affidavits to prove that he was under the influence of whisfcey, and Senator Irby can get copies upon application). All the dispatches sent to the Register lau datory of Senator Irby were dictated by that gentleman,either to Mr. Tighe or Mr. Shelton, upon all of which Senator Irby had to guarantee charges before the telegraph authorities would accept them. If Senator Irby denies this, I challenge him to an inspection of the original manuscripts now on file in the Western Union Telegraph office at Washington. Senator Irby ahro claims in his statement that he knew nothing bear* lng upon the contents of the "Crad? dock" dispatch until I furnished him with the information in his room at the Notional Hotel ou the night of March Ii. How, then,does he ac? count for that card which appeared in the Columbia Register, dated Washington March 9, and signed "More Anon," of which he told me he was the author. After singing bis own praises in his usual and char? acteristic way he referred to Con? gressman Shell in the following lan? guage : "It is generally reported here that Captain Shell baa packed bis bag? gage and will soon land in the enemy's camp. This creates indignation1 as well as contempt among the politi? cians without bringing in a great amount of satisfaction to the other side." There is a remarkable simi? larity in the allusion to Cmigrefsnisn Shell io this card and the "Craddock dispatch dictated -rod sent by Senator Irby. For fear that it cay bave escaped his memory 1 tfill recall io Senator Irby's mind the time and ptoce where "More Anon" made; himself known. It was in his room at the National Hotel. There were present this same horrified Dr. Satnp ,son Pope, Seuatot Irby ?tod myself; ' We lftt? jtnt returned from a walt to Seventh street wharf and Senator Irby told Dr. Pope to get the Regis? ter aod read aloud the "More Anon" card. VT Pope, wbo has always been accommodating io Senator Irby,did so. i No sooner bad it been read than Sen? ato? irby asked me who I thought j had written H. As the article stated j j that the author had recently traveled I over the most of Sooth Carolina my m fud suggested Congressman Lati [mer, and I so ?tated, but added that 'as Congresmeu Shell and Latimer Were apparently on friendly terms the ? latter gent.emau would uardry have writteu ff. the fact that I guessed Mr. Latimer seemed to tickle Senator Irby and Dr. Popte aud they botb laughed heartily. Senator Irby tiren said, "Hell, doi/t you know Latimer can't wiite that good English ?" and Dr. Pope lauglred again. After their merriment had ceased Senator Irby told me that he h?mself tfa* thc atftWor. It was on (his same afternoon that ?r. Pope rehearsed to me wfth dra roatic eloquence the interesting de tails of his long, wearisome aud will known tramp through the West. I would be glad to reproduce it for the benefit of his friends, but just now I have a more important subject to Wfrte about than tramp doctors. There are many other iiiteresfmg facts known to roc ?vt stated ; there is plenty of dirty linen and I nave lots of soap. If it is Senator Irby's wish we will on with thc washing. But 1 have no disposition to pros? ecute tin? controversy, even against aman who originated falsehoods (I must speak plainly ) to injure me and then appealed to his heretofore poli? tical supporters to soothe bis self provoked wounds, lt is not my intention to participate in or to be a party to a split among tire Reformer*, and ii the arrow has pierced H was j IMH of my choosing, but was taken from Senator Irby's own quiver In the psst I have performed many acts of friendship and kindness for Hig?f?at af a? hi Le&ef?fag ABSOLU!

What I have to!^ about this particular "Grad dock dispatch" is the troththe whole troth, and as such I ihtetid to main* tain it.
