The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1893-03-15

land TO understand that they mad
claims upon him, on one theory or an
other. But what transpired remains q
secret between the three. Both Till
man and Irby endeavored to keep their
visit quiet, and when asked about it
! they said they had agreed to say moth
ing to any one. They seemed to be in
excellent humor when they returned,
and Governor Tillman remarked that
some of those who were smiling about
them eating crow would grin before
the end came.
I hear that Senator Irby was abusing
the President to-day before this visit.
From a remark dropped by Governor
Tillman tonight, that be could not
sign petition for any one till he knew
how Cleveland would act in recogniz-
ing his side, judge the conference was
unsatisfactory.
Senator Irby says he is not going to
talk any more about politics.
This morning, about 1890 o'clock,
Senator Butler and Congressman Braw-
ley visited President Cleveland, and
managed to secure an uninterrupted
private interview of some duration.
When they left they went to the vari-
GUS appointive departments and had
similar conferences with the heads
thereof, evidently bearing directions
from the President for them to hold off.
There is a singular condition of things
up here. Perry and Cal. Caughman
have gone over to Buffers side and the
Tillman men are very bitter against
them.
Senator Irby is threatened with
case Of pneumonia, and he and the
Governor remained quietly in their
rooms this afternoon. The Governor
expresses himself as delighted with his
success in the railroad case and the
bond matter. The Governor left for
Columbia at 1913 tonight, by the
Richmond and Danville vestibule.
Supt. McBee's private car left last
night, "Bunch" aboard; so there is no
more bamboozling ahead for the Gov
ernor.
When the facts about the high COM
pliment paid Gen. Hampton by the
Senators became known to-day, the
old warrior-statesman warmly con-
graduated by his scores of friends.
About l o'clock ex-Congressman Dib-
BILE came around and took the General
on a ride of several hours. Gen.
Hampton seems to appreciate the COM
pliment very much. Mr.. Dibble says
it is one Of the most fattering ,compli-
ments ever paid to an ex-senator.
Irby says he was not asked to sign the
request.
The rush for the Offices continues.
IF. J. Caldwell, of Newberry, is here,
with strong endorsements for the
italian mission, the salary of which is
$4,000 year. There sre three or four
other applicants from other States. Mr..
Caldwell has lived in Rome, speaks
tne italian language, and is very famli-
lar with italian affairs. He was in
Italy at the time of the Garibaldi move
ment.
Judge Bacon is applying for his old
mission-Paraguay and Uruguay. 1t
has been many years since South Caro-
lima has had chance at the European
missions. The only diplomatic appoint
ments she has held in recent years were
those of Judge Bacon to South America
and Gen. Kennedy to China. She will
claim three this time. J. G. Hemphill
is the third man referred to. He is
officially announced as an applicant
for the mission to the Court OF St.
James.
The special committee of the Demo-
cratic caucus appointed to make up the
Senate committees is expected toreport
tomorrow. There seems to be no
chance of Irby getting craftsmanship.
Col. J. ]. Mcclure of Chester, DR.. A.
P. Jordan and Gen. John Bratton ar
rived here to-day. The latter holds a
good place in the race for revenue COL
lector.
DR.. Landrum Of Spartanburg, has
also arrived, to look after place in the
medical department of the govern
mept.
DR.. Pope is going to remain here
with Irby. He has not yet filed bis
application for marshal. He would not
ask single Conservative to sign it.
Cal. Caughman is still here, getting
his voice in training for the test for
reading clerk of the Senate.
Irby is still pulling for Earle for dis
trict attorney. He received all Of
Earle's papers last night and will pre-
sent them in person.
Irby, when asked tonight if the
statement that be was going to resign
the State craftsmanship were true or
not, said: PERSONALLY, I might be very
much inclined to do so, but there are
political reasons which have made me
decide that I would not. The main
one of these reasons is that our people
will not let me give it up. I have
plenty of precedent in this course.
Murphy of New York holds both posi-
tions; Carey of Wyoming, does likewise,
and Barbour of Virginia, held both till
his DEATH"
