Gov. Fleming Announces That He is
Not O Candidate.

TALLAHASSEE, FLA, July ga promi-
nent Florida democrat wrote to Gov. F. P.
Fleming relative to that gentleman's alleged
candidacy for the United States senator
ship, and in reply received the positive as
surance that the governor would not per
nit his name used before the legislature for
that Office. The gentleman was here yester-
day and showed the MORNING NEWS cor
respondent the letter, kindly permitting
him to mako extracts therefrom.
In this letter the governor said: "Permit
me to thank you and other friends for the
desire to extend me cordial support for
the position of United States senator. You
ask me whether | will allow my name to be
used before the next legislature as candi-
date for the position. 1t is due to you, and
others expressing the desire to support me,
that should give you a candid aud positive
answer.
NO DESIRE TO GO TO WASHINGTON.
II have never had any desire to become
member of either branch of the national
congress, nor have l any reason to believe
that will be possessed of the desire to
vacate what | consider the higher position
OF CHIEF executive of a sovereign state in
order TO go 10 the United States Sena G.
Continge lcies sometimes arise, however,
| when duty points out course
| which would not be followed by in
clination; but looking at the matter
from this standpoint. as WE'LL it appears to
me that duty (Which in this instance is in
harmony with my inclination) directs that
| should serve out the full term of the office
to which was elected by the people of my
state, and, If possible, accomplish for them
some good during my administra-
ton. Aud this duty appears to me all the
more imperative, inasmuch as the people do
not now choose successor to fill a vacancy
which might happen during the executive
term. as was the case when e lieutenant
governor was elected under the former
constitution. Besides all this, could not
become candidate for the United States
Senate without more or less embarrass-
ment in connection with the discharge of
my executive duties. For the foregoing
reasons l will not consent to the use of my
name before the next legislature as a candi-
date for the United States Senate" etc.

CAROLINA'S CAMPAIGN.
TILLMAN LEAVES CHARLESTON
WITHOUT SPEAKING.

-Four Policemen and Two Detectives
Acted as a Body Guard While he
Was in Town-Mr. Barnwell Said to
Eave Demanded an Explanation
The Meeting of the Straightout
Democrats.
CHARLESTON, S. c., July 24-The four
burlY policemen and two cute detectives
who have been acting as a body guard TO
! B. r. Tilman ever since his arrival in
Charleston, were relieved from duty this
afternoon at ; o'clock, when Capt. Tillman
and those on bis ticket took their departure
for Summerville, where they will speak to-
morrow. Capt. Tillman and bis party ar
rived here at noon on Wednesday, and the
head Of the ticket has been faithfully
guarded by the police ever since. The chief
of police says that he made the detail at the
request of D. Murphy and j. B. Reeves,
Capt. Tillmans second lieutenants here, who
said that they had received threatening
letters.
HOW HE SPENT HIS TINE.
During his entire stay Capt. Tillman was
closeted in his room at the Charleston hotel.
Wednesday afternoon he was driven out by
ex-Mayor Courtenay. This morning he
took flying trip to Sullivan's Island, leav-
ing at 10 o'clock and returning at l. No
attempts were made to assassinate him.
The straightout democrats say that the
police protection called for was to protect
Messrs. Murphy and Reeves. They feared,
it is claimed. that the ''ringsters" might
guy him while they were buzzing in and
out of the hotel.
There are rumors here that correspon-
dence is gong on between Capt. Tillman
and s. w. Barnwell in which the latter de-
mands an explanation for the assertion
made by Capt. Tillman that Mr. Barnwell
had threated him with assassination.
MEETING OF THE sTRAIGHToUTs.
The straightout democratic mass meeting
tonight can scarcely be called bowling
success. Three causes are ascribed:
l. 1t was a squally. wet night.
2. A rumor got abroad during the day
to the effect that the democratic executive
committee had decided to abandon the
meeting after Capt. Tillman refused to
speak,
The third reason was assigned by red
hot straightout as follows: "How do they
expect people to go to circus where there's
no clown and no band"
THE HOUSE WELL FILLED.
Despite these drawbacks, however, the
house was well filled, and the meeting was
peaceably conducted. There was but one
1illmanite in the audience, which numbered
about 900, and he became obstreperous
and was put out by policeman. This was
about the only Tillman feature of the meet
ing Speeches were made by Gen. Bratton
and Attorney General Earle, straightout
candidates for governor; Secretary of State
Marshall, Judge Crawford of Columbia and
others, and the meeting became enthusiastic
to high pitch.

most disastrous that has occurred since the
road was built The loss is Appropriated
at s65, 900. The amount of track washed
out covers altogether a distance of twenty
miles, five miles from the forks of the creek
to Smith Hill, and fifteen miles from
Golden to Floyd Hill. The iron bridge at the
forks of the creek looks like bundle
of wire, it has been so tangled. 1t is i'm
possible for the railroad men to estimate
the damage. but they admit that it must be
very large. as the road through there is a
very costly piece of railroad construction.
Work trains and 100 men have been work
ing on the road since Tuesday noon, and if
nothing further happeaed it was promised
that trains would be able to get to the forks
some time to-day.
