TILLMAN AND McSWEENEY.
The Senator and the Governor Ex-
change Warm Compliments.

The Senator and the Governor Ex-
change Warm Compliments.
Senator Tillman, on Tuesday, tele-
graphed to Governor McSweeney to know
officially" whether Senator McLaurin
had withdrawn his resignation. Gov
ernor McSweeney telegraphed that he
understood Senator McLaurin's letter
to be a withdrawal. Senator Tillman
then wrote another abusive letter about
Senator .McLaurin. :. In the meantime
the governor had already replied to
the warm letter he had previously re-
ceived from Tillman. The two letters
passed in the mails. They are as fol-
lows:
IIllman to McSweeney.
Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your
telegram in which you say, Il under
stand Senator McLaurin's letter to be a
withdrawal of his resignation" and
have read that worthy's communica-
ton in which he graciously consents
at your request, Ito hold on to his COM
mission as United States senator and
continue to serve the state as he has
done in the past, to the best Of his abil-
ity."
This leaves me one Of three alterna-
tives. To appeal to the Democratic eX-
ecutive committee to take the matter
up and determine what the best inter-
est of the party requires to be done, to
appeal to the senate itself to determine
the question as 10 whether resigna-
tion from that body, to take effect at
some future time is binding, or with
oc;c
no precedents on this ubject, because
in the 125 years Of our national life,
with more lnan 200 designations from
the senate, no senator has hitherto
been willing to occupy the despicable
attitude now assumed by Senator NC
Laurin and forced on me. l am GER
tain of one thing: that the executive
of a state has no authority to decline
resignation that has been rendered,
and I am equally certain that had your
excellency confined your action with
in legal bounds that 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
I am forced by your action to engage
in what the outside world will consider
a game of opera bouffe, by withdraw
ing my own resignation after Senator
McLaurins undignified and puerile ac-
ton; but the purpose for which 1t was
rendered has been thwarted by Senator
McLaurins precipitous acceptance of
executive advice. Bob Acres has been
outdone for once. AS I have already
said 1 had no motive or purpose in re-
signing except to force McLaurfn's,
and there is nothing for me to do but
accept the situation and withdraw my
own resignation, if it be lawful to do
so. Yours respectfully,
B. r. TILLMAN.

McSyveeney to Tillman.

Sir: Your letter of June 1st has been
received. I have carefully noted Its
contents, and the most charitable view
I can take of it is that 1t was writ
ten in the heat of passion and without
due consideration.
l note that you say that I have
"transcended' my authority and that
the governor cannot compel member
of the United States senate to hold his
commission and exercise the functions
of that office If he chooses to surrender
it," and that vou decline for the pres
ent to withdraw your resignation.
Had you read carefully my letter ad-
dressed to you and to Senator McLau-
rim. YOU must have seen that did not
express any desire to compel mem
ber of the United States to hold his
commission and exercise the functions
of that office" if he chooses to sur
render it, My sole purpose in return
ing the designations was to ask you
gentlemen to consider calmly and
thoughtfuly the consequences to the
people of what I judged to be hasty
act. and 7 must confess that l am
somewhat surprised at the tone or your
answer to my request.
I consider the course which took In
this matter to be for the best interests
am responsible to them alone for my
action. And, furthermore, l still be-
lieve that my course has met the ap-
proval of q majority of the citizens or
the state, nor do I consider them "un-
thinking citizens" but men who know
and recognize as fully as any people
on earth the rights and duties and re-
sponsibilities of citizenship, and do not
need the services Of any one to tell
them their duty.
You insinuated that I have been i'm
portuned' to await the convenience
of any present or would-be aspirants
who ARE not just yet ready for various
reasons to enter the contest brought on
so unexpectedly" and that for this rea
son my action has taken the direction
it has. is unworthy of a man holding
the high commission which has been
given you by the people of South Caro-
lima, and deserves notice in this con-
nection. However, may say for your
benefit that I alone am responsible Tor
my reply and will give account for the
course I have taken to the people who
honored me and not to any one 1ndi-
vidual.
In this matter I have done what I
thought best calculated to promote the
present prosperity and contentment of
the people of my state, and shall con-
tinue to do so regardless OF what any
one man may say or think of my
course. I did not think that political
campaign this summer could do any
good. However, had the designations
been unconditional and unrestricted.
my action might have been otherwise.
With due respect for your opinion. I
think I have as high conception Of the
office of senator and its powers as you
or any other citizen of this state, and
YOU must have known that the brief
interview to which you refer meant
that I would simply meet the RESPONSE
bility and perform my duty under the
conditions.
If YOU still wish to resign your COM
mission and will send to this office an
unconditional resignation. I will eXer-
else the authority and power vested in
me by the people. Respectfully.
