THE TILLMAN TRIAL IN SOUTH
CAROLINA.

We are no apologists for, nor ad-
mirers of, ex-Lieut. Gov. Tillman.
But we here enter our protest against
the assailment of the jury who tried
him, by some of the self assumed
"aristocratio" journals of the coun-
try.
The Memphis Commercial Appeal
says: editor Gonzales, who was
shot down rutblessly and without
warning, represented the aristocratic
element of the Palmetto state. He
represented the city and intelligent
people. These of course could not
serve on jury because the case was
SO notorious that almost all of them
had formed and expressed opinions
on it. Tillman is essentially a rep
resentative of those citizens who live
at the head of the hollow, or out on
Big Brushy. They were qualified by
their lack Of information to serve on
the jury. They are not reading
people and could testify that they had
neither formed nor expressed an opin-
ion,' etc.
If the verdict had been against Till
man, and his friends had intimated
that he was innocent, Notwithstanding
the verdict, the Commercial Appeal
would have risen in wrath and de-
manded that the verdict be accepted
as conclusive. But now, since the
verdict does not find according to his
opinion, who knows nothing of the
case except from hearsay and an in
complete and therefore imperfect
newspaper report of the trial, he de-
nounces and tries to mimify the jury
whom he does not know. 1t was the
idea entertained by the Commercial
Appeal, being entertaind by Gonzales,
that he was "aristocratic' and
could treat with contempt and abuse
those who lived at the head of the
hollow or on "Big Brushy," that
cost Gonzales his life
We are thankful that we can say
that up to this time there are no titled
'aristocrats" in this country, with
privileges above the privileges of the
hard working men at the s'head of the
hollow and ON "Big Brushy.
These are the men who produce what
you eat to support your life, and they
are entitled to as much respect and
consideration as you are. They are
honest, truthful. sensible, God fearing
men, who have courage to assert what
they believe, and to defend themselves
when assailed. We pronounce no
Judgment upon Ti1lman's case nor
uponT illman, except to accept the
verdict as conclusive, but if the Com
mercial Appeal is correct in saying
that he is representative of these
people then we say he was rightfully
acquitted.
