Will Anybody Answer? A Former Fdloicer of Governor Till man Asks Some Interesting Ques Hons. Kinards, S. C., Jane 29, 1894. To the Editor of the Greenville News. Sitting astride the fence on (he farm this morning I am prompted to ask some questions : 1 have worked and voted for Gov ernor Tillman ever since he first com menced to write and work to elevate the farmers ; at least that is what he said it was for. My questions are these : Did he Dot promise to save $100,000 per autmm for us ? Didn't he promise to have 10,000 Comptroller General's reports pub lished and sent out among the farmers so they could see what was done with their money ? Didn't he promise to have the fer tilizers analysed and the analyses iu the hands of the farmers before they bought so they would know what they were buying? Didn't he promise to rack off a lot of tie manufacturers" to the pen if their goods did not come up to what they were sold for ? Didn't he promise to reduce all sala ried so that it would not take any more cotton to pay them than it did when cotton was selling for ten cents per poaxrd ? Didn't he promise to give us a direct primary ? Didn't he blow up the Citadel acad emy and doesn't the appropriation con tinue as of old ? Did he not promise to build os a col lege for poor boys ; and how many really poor boys can ever get to Clemson College? Didn't he blow up the old adminis tration for employ io g assistant coun sel with State funds and bas be not done the same thing ? Did he not say that railroad corpo rations were not paying their part of the taxes, and proceeded through court to assess them higher, and as quick as the court decided in his favor did be not then lower their assessment ? Didn't Samuel Lord tell him be had no right to look trains when the rail road was in the hands of the United States Court and that he would not make an ass of himself by carrying the case to court at Washington, and then did he not employ Mr. Tucker, of . Virginia, to argue the case and pay him one or two thousand dollars for the same ? Did he not say that be was for the people, and whatever they wanted ha would try and do for them ? AU right, now, the people said they wanted pro hibition. What did they get ? A dis pensary. In other words, according to my view. Mr. Tillman practically said the people don't know what they want, and I have got to have some revenue from somewhere and more men to work for me for the Senate ? Mr. Tillman and others said that there was a ring and no young man, matters not how deserving, could get in office unless Hampton, Bon ham, Haskell, McGowan and others smiled on him. Granting that that is so, is there not a worse ring now and who can get in office now unless Tillman and Irbv smile on him ? . Now, what I want to known is this : Why do we, as sensible people, follow Tillman any longer ? Tillman, as our leader, bas had ?14.000 and now wants $80,000 more. How much have we, as followers (not office holders) had ? I answer if anything I have not got my part, uniese it was last fall when my taxes were higher than ever on the same amount of property. I would like for some one to answer the above questions fairly through any paper they choose and not jump on me for asking them. This is my first and it will be my last communication. Expecting to sit on the fence until I can hear from some body, I am yours respectfully. J. H. Workman. Mr. Waddill, of Darlington, Speaks oat Plainly. Governor Tillman took occasion in the cou ree of his speech at the Darling ton meeting to make some very harsh remarks in regard to Mr. John M. Waddill, one of the original Tillmanites of the State?the man who has twice carried his county for Tillman, and who bas figured in most of the reform con ventions, etc. Mr. Waddill was not permitted to reply at the time. He has therefore written the following open letter to the people of the State which makes pretty interesting reading : To the Public : A few days ago Gov ernor Tillman cowardly attempted to bold me up to tbe scorn of the people of my country. I was denied the op portunity to reply to this charge of his. The Governor denied calling me by name, but his friends and coat-tail swingers did it for him. I bad imformation of tbe matter tbe day before, hence, be is guilty of false hood and cowardice in tbe same breath. My former advocacy of Tillman and prominence in Alliance work and pres ent position cause me to .become ao ob ject of Tillman's hate and vindictive ness I wish to retire from active partici pation in politics, but before I do I want to put myself right before the peo ple of Darlington county and tbe State at large. Governor Tillman charges me with being in the pay of Wall street. I sell flour for J. A. O. Moore, broker, Darlington, and one of Till man best friends. I am also agent for the Home Supply Association of Chi cago. Because I will no longer worship the false and ugly God, TUimao, I am to be slandered by this selfish, ma an fraud; for he is nothing but a fraud, a traitor to the Reform Movement and to the Alliance. One of the first acts of treachery was to the Reformers of Darlington couoty in making an appointment which was in violation of his solemn pledge made in his first address at this place in 1890, and reiterated to several gentlemen in his office in Colombia. Then violation after violation of his pledges to the Alliance at Spartaoborg in 1891, and May convention, 1892 Tillman is in the interest and, I believe, in the pay of Tammany Hall. Tillman de nies voting for Hill at Chicago I don't believe be can prove it. and, if be does, he can not disprove his advocacy of Hill before the convention *at Chi cago, for he took the delegation (all that "he could influence) one night to Tammauy Wigwam, where we were introduced to Croker. Bourke C<>ckran, Cummings, et, ai, wined and cigared Tillman, and if be gets to the Senate t e will only bave Hill to welcome bini. He bas vilified and abused Populists. Democrats, and Republicans alike.. Tillman wrote one of his henchmen here that I was traveling io Edgefield in the interest of General Butler. ' General Butler was kind to me in the war and I prefer Butler to Tillman, thereby no principle involved. Butler is an honor able, brave old soldier and an old soldier koows how to meet such a man. Experience of four years, often in con* tact with Tillman has lead me to judge him a cold, selfish, cruel and cowardly man. ? thought at the time that I saw evidence of bis cowardice at Florence in 1892, and so stated to a few friends at the time, and I have seen more evidence of his cowardice at Chester and Oats. If the Alliance of South Carolina will support such a man, who plainly tells them why they can do so, I, for one. will draw the line right here and say I will support Butler until a simonpure AUianceman is put out. If the true AUiancemen of Darlington couoty will allow an office holder, coat-tail swing er, dependent oo Tillman, to carry, them into a packed caucus to push aside true and tried AUiancemen for a shyster lawyer, an eleventh hour convert, why tbey can do it, but I will oppose such methods and fi^bt such a candidate. One word to the true one-gailus boys who followed Tillman on, ?o bliodly and who swallow every word he says. If you, the poor tenant white farmers, who rent lande and to whom Governor Till man is so food of appealing, if you lived in Edgefield near Governor Till mau's tenantry place, and wanted land of him, you could not get it He has not a white tenant, all are negroes and his neighbors say that be will not have a white man oo his place. Any further information on this line will be furnish ed on application to D. C Bullock, E-q., (farmer.) Ninety Six, S. C. He is a man of integrity and high standing, a descendant of Revolutionary ances tors, and lives on land of sires who fought in 1770* at Ninety-Six. In conclusion I ask the Reformers of Darlington county, what has Tillman done for you ? Has he, oat of his abun dance, contributed one ceo; to anything here ? Oar paper went dowo ; did be ever pay his subscription ? Has any Reform enterprise or work ever gotten a cent from Ben. Tillman; and in the least of the epithets cast upon him, so justly, cannot I add one more any say stingy Ben. Tillman ? Who will follow longer a selfish, cruel, cowardly and stingy man, however able he may be ? In the end be will disappoint us. .John M Waddill Darlington, S. .C, July 7. OTTOF.
