EI-Statc Treasurer of South Carolina
Palmetto, S. c., November &c.

DR.. BATES INrERvIEwED.-A representa-
tive OF The State called On State Treasurer
Bates last night and asked him for state
ment concerning the card from Col. Z. r..
Mclver on the subject Of tho Govcrnor's 9
message; which appears above.
DR.. Bates states that the figures used by
Governor Tillman, and quoted by Col. McIver,
form no part Of his (the treasurer's) report,
and that he was in no way connected with
them.
"The table" continued DR.. Bates. "must
have crept into the governors message by
some AXE. rs the figure, never appeared
on my books" am
iabfdR&is recently p intcd in the papers
and that it had most probably como +, on
the comptroller generals office, being giver
out prematnrcly.
When asked if the figures were correct
the treasurer reptile that hs would prefer
not to express an opinion.

Difference in favor of 1884,. SS7,

Difference in favor of 1884,. $S7 ,523 OS
l have carefully examined the State
Treasurer's report for year ending October
81, 1891, and l have been unable to find any
entry to show that he paid overdrafts amount
ing to S22 800. am therefore correct in
asserting that no such debt contracted by
the previous Administration was paid out
or ihe receipts of The treasury daring the
fiscal year ending October 81, 1891. Deduct
ing the $22,800 mentioned from the differ
ence in fav,r of 1891, which is $S7, 7,523, ,OS,
We find the result is $64, ,723OS.
Now, it is well known that the South Caro-
lima Railway did not pay any part of its
taxes that were due from 10Th October, 1889,
to February l. 1890, but that said taxes
were paid after the session Of the Legislature
in December 1880, under Joint resolution
authorizing the several county treasurers to
receive same, with interest added. These
taxes amounted to Sl7,7l9,59, without in
terest, and should rigbtfully be deducted
from The balance rs above-S64, 723,0 ,08 less
$l7,7l9.59-S47 ,O03,49, which is all the
difference that can justly be claimed in favor
Of the fiscal year ending October 81, 1891.
On page "a the treasurer's report for the
year ending October 81, 1891, he enters
$2l ,427, "a MS reccived for back taxes, which,
suppose, covers the amount received from
the South Carolina railway for past due
taxes, with int rest added.
Thus there is a Discrepancy of about $40,
600 between the st,tementof the document
mentioned above and the official report Of
the State treasurer. which will not attempt
to explain, nor will I make any comment
thereon, but leave your readers TO form their
own conclusions.
1t is said that comparisions are odi,us,
but fear neither comparisons nor invesii.
cations honestly conducted Of my manage
ment Of the Office of State treasurer, feeling
sure that the administration with which /
had the honor to be associated will not suf-
fer thereby.

The Campaign Of 1890.

Mr.. W. p. GARsIDE revives a subject
Of vital bearing on the Mugwump rumpus ::
I'm the memorable campaign Of 1900 did Mr. CLEvE.
say . single word for the Democratic party
though tariff reform trial ami the Force bllr
was pending as menace to the rerublic!'
Mr.. CLEvELASD's conduct in the cam
paign Of 1890 arose from arguments which
were as logical rs they wcre simple. Be-
tween the alleged excitement about the
tariff, and the deadly struggle over the great
Democracy killer. the Force bill. il he had
spoken Of either. no would have been
obliged to leave the field of Presidential
candidates. Even he did not dare to start
again the campaign of education without
dcnouncing the Force bill. and to mention
that would have been to let tariff reform
and it's prophet drop to the rear. So he
closed his mouth. against the most vigorous
cntreaties for him to open it, and waited
till the troubles blew over in Democratic
victory. That he claimed as his own.
Mr.. CLEvELAND's montal faculties arc
OF distinctly lower grade than those OF
most men who have attained public prom-
nence: but from the standpoint OF de-
featcd candidate, who since going out OF
Office hns worked. schemcd. travelled,
stayed ut home. talked. and sat mum with
the single purpose Of getting another nom
nation, no ono can say that his 1870 policy
Of silence was not soundly though dcsper-
ately conceived.

Getting Ready for Annexation.

Tho nomination in Toronto OF candidate
Tor the Ontario Legislature on the SQUIRE
issue OF annexation Is one among many
signs OF tho growth o! Canadian sentiment
In favor OF union with tho United States.
Undoubtedly that sentiment is by no
means controlling in the Dominion at the
present time; but that it has the courage
to express itself openly is proof that the
Canadians are getting rcadyto consider the
question reasonably. 1t means that the
subject Is coming under discussion MS an
element OF practical politics. People are no
longer frightened away from looking at it
sensibly by cries OF treason raised by those
VINO would rather that Canada should starye
TO death than enjoy plenty and prosperity
In the American Union
Such discussion can have only one result
The advantage OF annexation. nav, its alb
solute necessity to the Dominion, is SO in
disputable that when the Canadians come
to talk about the matter seriouslv the
views represented by this Toronto candl-
date are bound to prevail. The only way to
prevent annexation is to prevent the dis
custom OF 1t before the people.
Arguments in favor OF political union
from this side OF the line. except they como
from the Canadians who have been forced
already to annex themselves individually.
need not be presented. They would have
little or no effect In Canada. The people OF
the Dominion must argue out the matter
Tor themselves. We can afford to wait for
their inevitable decision to join their forces
with us without attempting in any way to
hasten 1t, otherwise than by pursuing the
course which is enriching and strengthen
Ing us at their expense.
when the provinces OF the Dominion are
ready to ask for admission into the Union
as independent and sovereign States. in
stead OF remaining colonies and dependen-
cies OF foreign power. they will DO well
coined cordially. of course: but as the gain
WiIl DO greater for them than for US. We can
