CohuMB1, S. g., July l1.-Tho fol.
lowing letter explains itself:
To tho Public: A few davs 400 Gov.

hold me up to the scorn OF Tho people OF
my country. I was denied the oppor.

moss.
l wish TO retire from active partici
patton In politics, but before I do L want
To put myself right before the people OF
Darlington county and tho 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 Tillmau's best friends. l am
also agent for the Homo Supply Associa
tion OF Chicago. Because I will no lon
ger worship tho false and ugly God,
Tlllman, I am 10 be slandered by this
selfish. mean fraud; for no is nothing but
fraud. traitor TO the Rsf rm Move
mont and to the AlllRnce.
One OF tho first acts of trenchery WAS
TO tho Reformers of Darlington county
IN making an appointment which was IN
violation OF his solemn pledge made III
his hrst address at this place In 1890 aud
reiterated to several gentlemen in his of.
lice in Columbia. Then violation after
violation OF his pledges TO the Alliance
at Spartanburg IN 1891, and MAY con
ventlon, 1892. Tlllman is in the inter-
est and believe, in the pay Of Tam
many Hall. Tillman denies voting for
Hill at Chicago. I don't believe ho con
prove it, and, if he does, ho can not dis
prove his advocacy Of Hill before tho
convention at Chicago, for ho took the
delegation Gall that he could iuIlueuco)
ono night to Tammany Wlgwam, where
we we've introduced to Croker, Bourke
Cochran, Cummings, OF, al, w!ncG Dnd
clgared Tillman, and if he gets to tbs
Senate he will only have Hill to welcome
him. He has vililied and abused Popu-
lists, Democrats, and Republicans alike.
Illlman wrote one OF his henchmen here
that was travelling in E1gelield IN tho
interest Of General Butler. General
Butler was kind TO me in tho war aud L
prefer Butler to Tillman, thereby no
principle involved. Butler is all honor-
able. brave soldier and an old soldier
knows how to meet such q man. Tx
perlence Of four years, often in contact
with Tillman has lead me 10 judge him
q cold, selfish, cruel and cowardly man.
l thought at the time that l saw evi-
dence Of his cowardce at Florence in
1892, and 80 stated TO u lew friends al
tho time, and have seen more eVldeucs
OF his cowardicn at Chester and Oats.
II tho Alliance Of South Carolina will
support such n man, who plainly tells
them why they can do 80, l, for one,
will draw tho line right hero and say
will support Butler until s!monpure
Allianceman is put out. If tho true
A Alliancemen Of Darlington county will
allow an Office holder, coat-tail swirgcr.
dependent on Tiliman, to carry them
nto q packed caucus to push ueids true
md tried Allancemen for q shyster law.
yer, ali eleventh hour convert, WAY they
can do if, hut will oppose such methods
and fight such candidate. One word
10 the true one. gallus boys who followed
Tillman on so blindly and who swallow
every word he says. If you, the poor
tenant white farmers, who rent lands
and TO whom Governor Tillman is 80
fond OF appealing, if you lived in Edge.
iieled near Governor Tillman's tenantry
place, and wanted land Of him, you could
not get it. lie has not white tenant,
all are negroes and his neighbors say
that he will not have white man on
his place. Any further information on
this line will be furnished on application
to d. g. Bullock, Esq, GARNER Nme-
ty.Slx, S. g, lie is man of integrity
andhigh standing, descendant of Revo-
lutionarY ancestors, aud lives on land Of
Sires who fought IN 177G at Ninety.Six.
In conclusion 1 ask the ISeformers of
Darlington county, what has Gilman
done for yon? Has he out Of his ahun-
dance, contributed one cent to anything
here? Our paper went down; did he ever
pay his subscription? Has any Reform
enterprise or work every gotten cent
from Ben Tillman; and in the least OF
tho epithets cast upon him, so Justly,
cannot | add ono moro any say stingy
Ben Tillman? Who will follow longer
a sheltish, cruel. cowardly and stingy
man, however able he mny be? In the
end he will disappoint us.
