Tillman's Plan Presented. The Senator on the Conven? tion Question and Unity. His Remarkable Plan for Bring? ing, the White People Together -What the Conservatives Are Offered-Swallow it if You Can. Ex-Governor Tillman has so long , been the chief figure in active poli j tics in South Carolina that it would | inded be strange if he were not the : director general of all plans for tthe campaign to elect delegates to the j State Constitutional convention. The \ State has already announced that he j was present at the conference with j ultraconservatives the other night when the matter of formulating some kind of a plan for the election of delegates was under consideration, and further that he was here during all of the many political affairs of j the week. It was not thought that h? was going to have anything to say, but he evident!}' came to the conclusion that now is the time to talk, and the ex-Governor is out to.day in an interview as to the coming fight, and as to the scheme for bringing the Conservatives in, j which makes pretty interesting read- j ino:, and shows what the dictates of ! the "powers that be" are in this most important matter. What Till? man bas to Hay is full and there is no j mistaking the language he uses. He dresses up the scheme in pretty style. Senator Tillman had given most of j his interview before he left for Wash- ! ington, but. not finishing what he I had to say. he did so between this j city and Charlotte. When question-1 ed directly as to what had been said ! about the significance of his pres? ence in Columbia during the gather? ings of so many politicians, he said : '1 do not know why my presence here should put so many tcngues to wagging ; ordinarily my rule has been to pay no heed to such chatter, but leave people to find out for themselves about such things When asked about the conference with the Conservative leaders he said : "I have no objection to letting it be known why I agreed to meet these gentlemen I did so simply for the purpose of showing that J, as j au individual citizen and as a man ? occupying a responsible public po? sition, am ready and anxious to do anything withiu reason that I can to bri?: ?j ;,bout a better slate of feeling Thore ?3 a hackneyed phrase con? tinually appearing in the bitter anti papers-Tiie Tillman - Irby - Evans Ring*-and the stock in trade of the i recalcitrants who have fought me j personally and the Reform part}7 from j the very beginning is to charge all i the animosity which exists, to the ! machinations and influence of this ! .Ring.' Some of the loudest-mouth- j ed and most blatant talk along this : line has come from men who would certainly never have been heard of in the politics of the Stale but for the j Reform movement Now, fortunate j ly, I occupy a position which, in the j minds of all fair persons, should lift i me above any charge of sinister or j selfish motives in what I am trying to do. I realize with painful cer- ; tainty the seriousness of the crisis. | which is upon us in State affairs. The Constitutional convention has been called in spite of the intense opposition of almost the entire 'Anti' faction. There have been charges of fraud in regard to the vote on this question, but that is neither heie nor there. Fraud or no fraud, and no one has produced any proofs of fraud, the convention is to | be elected and will meet next Sep? tember ; and the question now agi? tating ':he mind of every thinking j man in the State is as to how it will j be constituted, and what will it do < when it assembles Tho distrust and j suspicion which has been industri- j ously fomented in the minds of the ! factions, towards each other h^ve brought us to this denotable con ! diticn ; that we must either shortly j enter upon a struggle for the mastery | of the convention, which will leave wounds to rankle for a lifetime, or we must come together. The present I unnatural and strained relations must cease, or we will commence a fight | which will leave oue faction or the I other complete masters, with an in? tensified desire for revenge burning ; in the hearts of the victors, I wish j to avert such a struggle if possible. ' and when I consented to meet those ; who have persecuted aud opposed me j with all the vigor and malignity of which they were capable, in effort to ! devise ways and means for restoring harmony, I gave an earnest of my honesty of purpose that ought to Rave me from the charge of selfishness or fear, though I am satisfied it will not j do so. Those breeders of strife who : live by fanning the flames, and those aspiring self-seekers, who, under j guise of patriotic motives, would be- j tray the Reform movemeut, will try to make the contrary appear. It does , not matter ; I can bear that with the same equanimity and indifference that I have borne their attacks in the past." A8KEO ABOUT THE CONFERENCE. "Senator, will you tell us what you ! ii id in the conference ?" "1 was just coming to that, for to ?ny friends I need make no explana? tion ol' concealment, and for my enemies I do not care. In the first place, it will be well to say ll neither Governor Evans nor mys claim any right to speak or to ? other than individuals The peo? are the masters in South ?aroli: and we can only advise or give < opinions The people who ha honored us both so highly are natur ly looking to us for guidance, t they will judge for themselves a attach only such importance a yield such adhesion to our advice they deem best. The Tillman-Iit Evans King' is of the people, and very large one, and while we may I the ends which bring the til together, we understand our positi too weil to imagine for an insta that we can do more than advise VI must convince our friends that wh we advise is best before we can e peet them to follow. In a wor then, in that meeting we tried to ? rive at an understanding, which w unite the people of the State om more without any surrender of pri ciple OR the part of anybody, and pr vent any struggle over the conve tion ; and we realize very fully tl delicacy and difficulty of the tas! The more radical and unreasonab elements of both factions will nece sarily be disgruntled and endeavor I antagonize the scheme. But we ca not give any serious consideration t the opposition of such men as thesi We must appeal to the patriotism ar good sense of the large conservati* mass of both factions to make tr concessions which are requisite t bring them together As the victoi and the ruling majority, the concei sions must necessarily come from th Reform side, the conditions must L subscribed to by the other side *' THE CONCESSIONS 0* REFORM. "What concession do you aliud to?" "To begin with, I would say tbs the one overpowering and essentii idea which made the convention necessity was the preservation c white supremacy by such qualifie? lions of the suffrage as will save u from negro domination in future un der any and all conditions If t hi essential and fundamental require ment shall be subscribed to by al those seeking admission to the con vention, along with a very few othe necessary changes in the presen Constitution, the other questions like ly to arise in the discussions befort the convention will inevitably be dc cided on their merits as general pro positions in government and catino by any possibility excite any fae tional debate. It follows then that i the factions can unite in formulating the basic principles to be incorpor?t ed in the Constitution by commor consent, the question sis to whethei the convention shall be composed o a majority of Reformers or Conserva fives is one of minor consideration But for tke suspicion and distrust which exists as to the good faith and hone?ty of each side towards the other, I have no earthly doubt thal the Reformer*, would readily grant tc their opponents equal representation lt will depend entirely on the attitude and utterances of the leaders of the Conservative factiott and the news? papers which represent them whethei such an arrangement can be consum? mated. If the charges of fraud and 'ring rule' and the bitter sneers which have become to be the daily theme ol the uewspaper writer and scheming office-seekers are continued, it is utterly impossible to ask the majority to trust those who show so much dis? trust themselves, and who, while claiming to be honest themselves, ac? cuse all who oppose them of being dishonest. Confidence is the first requisite compromise." HALF, WITH CONDITIONS. '.Are we to understand you to say that you are willing for the Conserva? tives to have half of the delegates to the convention ?" "Provided, we oan be assured on cer? tain points, yes. f can conceive of no harm that couid result and of great benefits that might accrue therefrom. To illustrate : A purely factional con? vention would be a misfortune, and if the delegates to the convention are elected, as they should bc, because of h'gh character, intelligence, and liber? ality of thought, the attrition of such minds agaicst such minds io intellec? tual combat seeking after truth and the best Constitution possible, would make the convention au ideal one. If the convention was composed of a faction or dominated absolutely by factional feeling, it would be far more radical and likely to incorporate unreasonable provisions in the Constitution, and we must never forget that we are to live under the Constitution to be framed, as well as our opponents, and that we would hurt ourselves as badly as we would burt them by making a bad Constitutum. A stjuse of fairness should compel us to give them a fair share of representation, or even more than a fair share if they will let us. A Constitution is different from an act of the Legislature in that it cannot be 1 repealed by the Legislature, but con trois the Legislature, hence its impor-1 tan:e. AU classes and all interests of the State should, therefore, have j representation in the convention." "How is it to be brought about and how wonld the Conservatives get their half?" ,<Tbere's the question. If our people could by common consent forget the factional strife which has divided them and elect delegates without regard to j factional lines, it would bc far better, [ but that is a mere theory and we arc i I confronted by a condition. The I tions are Here, the bitterness is he the distrust is here, and last and in threatening, all the negro-s are here create a dread on thc "ne ?ide and produce temptation on ?he other. I derstand me, if the fight has to cot ? have no fear of thc result, Wh supremacy and Anglo-Snxon ci vi H: tion will inevitably triumph, bat it vi be the Raddest day in the history the State when it shall be recorded tl sensible, practical, patriotic, men wot not meet on such common ground exists, and cease their strife for a ti in the interests of the S'a'e and nf pi ferity." TI?E CONSTITUTION TO HE FINAL. "You have just spoken of conditio to which the Conservatives must su scribe. What are they ?" "The main one, as I have alrea< mentioned-the preservation of wh suptemacy by a qualification of t ballot. Another, is that DO delega shall be elected who does not pied himself to vote against submission the people of the Coostitu?on adopte for it goes without saying that t fight which we are seeking to avo would be precipitated in such an ever Next, t'uat every delegate must BU scribe to the general proposition th no white man should be disfranchise except for crime. Still another, is th the Constitution shall deal only in gei eral principles of government and leai the L^gisla'urc absolutely untrammeU on the questions of ponce regulatioi mn] free schools. With all delegati loyally supporting these general idea together with the preservation of tl homestead, it becomes a matter of ind ference to the people whether the Coi servatives or ?he Rcfoarners are in tl majority in the convention. There ai vatious other questions whioh will ent< ioto the discussion which will precec the election of delegates, but they wi settle themselves and the people ca instruct as to their wishes.'' "How will the division be made ?" "That I cannot say; each county mu.? settle that for itself One other impoi tant matter is the reuniting tho peop! in support of the primary for the ele tioo of delegatea. Give buth sides re; resenation OD the bord of managen or, if the delegates are chosen by convention, let it be understood tba all parties are committed to the supp?t of the Domin?es." "Would you be willing to take th stump in advocacy of these general pro positions ?" "If it becomes necessary, yes; but trust the matter cao be adjasted b the good men io each couoty gettioj together without any such necessity Thc only trouble I see that may aris that those who have sought to hefra1 the people under the guise of p^cifi cation may endeavor to throw obsta cles in the way. I would say furtbe that these views are not new, and bavi not resulted from aoy recent develop menrs. Last fall, when I was strain ing every nerve to have the conveotioi called, I expressed practically th< same idea?, lt will depend upon th< spirit in which the Conservatives mee our people. 'A soft answer turnet! away wrath' and if we begin a rac( to see which shall outdo the other ir obliterating the scars of our past bat ties, satisfactory results arc bouod tc follow. The Reformers can be per? suaded if the right means are used They cannot be bullied or driveo." "Suppose after the primaries arc held or the nominations made it were found that the Conservatives had no! secured half of the delegates, what then ?" Well, as a matter of simple justice, they could not feel any great dissatis? faction if they received two-fifths their strength io the primary of 1892 but by proper conduct aod advooacy of the demands of the people they can obtain more thao proportionate repr?? sentation. Should the Conservatives put forward meo who have not made themselves especially obnoxious, aod should that factioo show a willingness io Charleston, Sumter and Richland to do by the Reformers what they ask the Reformers to do by them, it would increase the chaoces of the ide? cf ao equal division. At all events, it is worth while for us to try, and wc will succeed io electing a satisfactory coo veotio?, beyond doubt, and ooe that will do nothing rash or unreasonable, and the Constitution which it frames will comaiaod the respect and support of all the people, just in proportion as it shall represent all the people. I have been accused of being au element of discord aod strife. If I am allowed, I will endeavor to merit the blessings promised the peacemakers, aod if I fail, I will at least have a clear conscience. AS TO THE "FORTY." "What do you thiok the 'Forty' will now do ?'' "I doo't know. I was never takeo ioto their confidence, and therefore am not aware of wb&t schemes tbey have ia view. But it has seemed to me that aoy effort antagonistic to the action of the regular Democratic party or an attempt to Dominate any set of delegates by caucus, such as they have tailed, would precipitate the very con? flict they claim to wish to avoid. Our people should frown down any effort along this Hoe." "What do you thiok of the address of the sub-oommittee of the executive committee of the Democratic party?" "I thio'tf it an able and timely pre seotatioo of tho case from a Democratic staodpoiot. it is especially timely and strong in recalling the scenes and inci dents of the struggle of 187G and the evils suffered at the hands of carpet- | baggers and negroes. If thc memories of those days will not bring the people | to ?heir senses and cau*e thom to for? get and forgive the bard things said and done during the last four years, then nothing will. If both sides cultivate Catholicity of spirit and charity and muzz'e the hot heads, our people will come together." Demons of Destruction. March of the Murderous Mooshir Through Sassoun. BOSTON, Feb. 20.-The Globe pub? lishes the following from Moosh. Asia Minor which it says is 7he first descrip by an eye witness of Mooshir Pasha's "march of blood " (Mooshir Pasha is the military governor ol' thc city of Kr- ? zerjao and started, by order of the Sui- i tan, into the Sassoun district last Sep- j tember. Innumerable burned villages and 7,293 lives was the price of this i official visit.) MOOSH, ASIA MINOR, January 7. The number of our dead countrymen in the four towns visited by Mooshir Pasha will not be far short of 7,500 This is from the bodies counted and known to have perished. We cannot tell how many others there may he. The first town entered by Mooshir was Shinik. It contains four villages, Shinik, Mczera, Koojock and Dopy. When our people here rieard of the ar- ; ri val of the Paglia Fr 'Johannis. 240 j of the 'leading townsmen went to meet j him. to beseech him to have mercy upon i them. They were surrouuded by sol d?er8 long before they could get to Moo? shir Pasha and every one was killed. Their bodies were put io the church and burned. Then they proceeded to burn the villager. Thc number killed from Shinik proper number 623. aod 317 from the rest of the villages. Those 1 who escaped are now in the villages surrounding this town, but the villagers are themselves very poor and many go j hungry. Mooshir Pasha left Shinik to go to ! the next town in the Sassoun district, j This town is Alyao and has fourteen ? villages. The people heard of bis com? ing and bow that he had twenty-four companies each 400 men, besides twenty-three canoon. They knew that it was useless to appeal to bim, so they fled to the village of Chi because of its rocks and steppes, and there they could better escape him. They stayed io the mountains for almost twenty days, and when all food was gone and there was nothiug left to do they fled as best they could Two thousand bodies were lek bebiLd at Chi. Gali-Gazao was next, and because 1 thc town has twenty-two villages around it, Mooshir brought Kurds, j Ahmidrc and Irregulars, numbeiiug j 30.000. Thc town was deserted, for ! the people, with all the }?>od they could carry, had fbd to the mn-iutains. They stayed in their fastness t r thirty days j and at last with a frenz) oom of bun- j ger and despair, they n. ide a terrible rush down the mountain sides and , attacked the tyrants instead of waiting to be killed. Patriot Tartan was like a god and killed nineteen men with his \ own sword before be fell dead. Fr. ? Bedras was a soldier, too, and en- ! couraged bis children, and when he was at last killed his body was cut in pieces and given to the dogs. Alpag was the last town that the bloodthirsty tyrants visited, and this j place contains eight villages-Verien, Chaden, Moodavar, Eukik, Kalaxaz. Choroop and Davlorg. The people had for the most part made their escape, but when Mooshir and his soldiers weet their way 1,300 bodies were found even here. Many more were burned, but their cumber cannot be known All bodies were found where they ; were butchered and those who would j travel this district must risk their lives j through the pestilential odors that go ; up from so many dead. All who es? caped from the Sassoun district came to ? the villages and plains of Moosh, and hungry, destitute and broken-hearted, j they look for hope and help and sym- j pathy from the civilized world to whom the news of their terrible lot may come j Apparently the Prince of Wales is a' good business man, as well as a diplo mat of some talent.

Of Whistler, the artist, is told this, tale: He had been invited to the wed? ding of Oscar Wilde, and, as he did not | happeo, just at that moment, to number j the aesthetic gentleman among his norn- ? berless dearest friends, had promised to j attend the ceremony. When the wed- ; ding party reached the church, Whist- j 1er was nowhere to be seen, but a tele- j gram bearing bis signature was handed to the groom. It read: "Am unavoid? ably detained. Can't get to the church j io time. Don't wait.'' "It was a long time since L had been to a funeral in winter," said a citizen, "but my recollection was very clear that the ride to the cemetery and back j had been very cold. When recently, on a winter day, I again atteuded a funeral, I expected, of'course, the same experience : but I found the carriage comfortable; upon the floor there was a foot-warmer of ample dimensions, which kept the carriage comparatively warm. Certainly a very sensible and reasonable precaution, and one in keep- ; icg with modern ways." Democracy is Shocked. A Natural Result of a Fusion Without Priuciples. RALEIGH. N C , Feb. 21.-The News and Observer trill f-ay editorially to-monow iu regard to the action of i he House of Repr?sentatives to-day : Sev? eral weeks ugo a Dropositioo was ?nade in th<: General Assembly to adjourn iu honor of Robert E Lee, on the occasion of his birthday. This resolution was voted d<>wn, although by enactment of a prior Legislature General Lee's birth? day is a public holiday ia ?ho State, and the public buildings are closed on that day. ' Yesterday a resolution was intro? duced to adjourn until 10 o'clock on Saturday to pay respect to the memory ol George Washington, whose birthday is al.-o a legal holiday. This was also voted down. "At the session that the resolution to adjourn in honor of Washington was voted down, the following resolution ! was introduced by Crews, colored, of ! Greenville, and was adopted. " 'Whereas, The late Fred Douglass 1 departed this life on the 20th inst. : and " 'Whereas, We greatly deplore the I same ; now, therefore, " 'Resolved, That when this House adjoins, it adjourn in respect to the memory of the deceased/ "These three dates, the birth of Lee, the birth of Washington and the death of Douglass are compassed iii ouc toon th. ?

Her Unpardonable Mistake^ She was a newcomer to that little middle-class clique, says the Buffalo Express. lier husband was. of their set, but he had married her in a dis? tant city, and there were rumors that she had been an actress or something else disgraceful. The other ladies it the progressive euchre club couldn't understand hei wave, and even the' husbands were suspicious! that she had not alway? moved in society so exalted Finally she was caught red handed, so to speak, and thereafter was ostracised by these smug Philis-r tines I tell the story of her down? fall as it was told to me by Capt. Adonirara Perkins, whose house is filled with red plush furniture and ?6 etchings, and who is, therefore. generally respected on-street. "I always thought she was a low? bred thing, but we had no proof until the last meeting of the club. Then she forgot herself and spoxe of the' other ladies present as 'women.' My wife wanted to take it up as? an insult, but I pitied the poor thing, and so we concluded not to invite her or her husband to any more of our doings. It's rough on her husband, of course, but, maybe, it serves him right for marrying a woman without any re-~ ' finement. What's that?'Lady' has/ been worked to death and 'woman' is better form nowadays ! Oh, go on: you're kiddin'. Nobody but a female who goes out washing by the day is a woman.
