Randall said he should see Todson
again this day, and would let me know
Quire it. He said Todson declared to
him that he did not intend to fly, but
would take his revenge. thus redeem his
character. and abide by the conse-

Randall is phrenologist, and with
the utmost seriousness avowed that his

George 2. Todson, the man who was
tried last winter by court martial and
sentenced to be cashiered. He now
came and demanded that | should re-
nominate him for reappointment to the
Senate. Mr.. Findlay said that he had
read the proceedings of the court-mar-

deserved so severe punishment as
dismissal from the service.
Without answering Findlay, / said:

TILLMAN WILL NOT RESIGN.
Since He Fails to Force McLaurin Out He Ac-
cepts the Situation.
(Bv The Associated Press.

Columbia. S. c., June 5.-Senator Till
man, protesting against the Governors
right to reject the Senatorial resigna-
lions. has withdrawn his resignation. In
his letter to Governor insolvency, Senator
Tillman says:
81 have Senator McLaurin's communi-
cation in which he graciously consents at
your request to hold on to his commits
sion as United States Senator and con-
tinue to serve the State as he has done
in the past to the best of his ability.
This leaves me one of three alterna-
tives. To appeal to the Democratic Exc
cutive Committee, to take the matter up
and determine what the best interest of
the party requires to be done; to appeal
to the Senate itself to determine the
question as to whether a resignation from
that body, 20 take effect at some future
time is binding, or withdraw my own
resignation. There are no precedents on
this subject because in the hundred and
twenty-five years of our national life,
with more than 200 designations from the
Senate, no Senator has hitherto been will
ing to occupy the despicable attitude now
assumed by Senator McLaurin and forced
on me. ] am certain of one thing-that
the executive of a State has no authority
to decline ia resignation that has been
rendered, and / am equally certain that
had Your Excellency confined your ac-
ton within legal bounds your appointees
would be seated in the Senate when that
body meets in December, and hold their
seats until the Legislature should act in
January. My chief regret is that l am
forced by your action to engage in what
the outside world will consider a game
of opera bouffe, by withdrawing my own
resignation after Senator McLaurin'S UNI
dignified and puerile action; but the pur-
pose for which it was rendered has been
thwarted by Senator McLaurin's preciptl-
Gus acceptance of executive advice. Bob
Acres has been outdone for once. | have
already said / had no motive or purpose
in resigning except to force McLaurin's,
and there is nothing for me to do but ac-
cept the situation and withdraw my own
resignation, if it be lawful to do So
