SENATOR T1LLMAN's VIEWS.
Says Judge Parker is Unobjection-
able to Him rs Candidate.

Senator Tillman is reported as fol-
lows by the Washington correspon.
dent of The News and Courier:
South Carolina will, in my judg-
ment, send an uninstructed delegation
20 the ST. Louis conyention,'' said
Senator Tillman. Il have not talked
politics for the past eight weeks"
continued Senator Tillman, ssbut L
am pretty well assured that Demo-
Gratis of South Carolina are not com
mitted to Mr.. Hearst or any other
candidate. In my Judgment we will
send an uninstructed delegation to
smell around for the strongest and
best available candidate, who is not
dominated by either the Cleveland or
Gne Bryan element in the party All
we want to know about man is
whether he is a straight Democrat
ana has always voted the party
ticket"
Understand, 1 am speaking for
myself alone added Senator Till
man.
For have not been able to follow
the political situation during the past
eight weeks"
How does South Carolina regard
Judge Parker as an available candidate
for president?" asked the repor-
ter.
Judge Parker is not Objectionable
to me, SO far as am personally con-
cerned," replied Senator Tillman.
My views regarding our party's
nominee have not changed during INV
forced absence from the senate. Eight
weeks ago, before was taken i'll and
compelled to undergo series of opera
tion in my throat, then stated that
would be in favor Of any clean, CON
servative man upon whom all the fac.
lions In the party might unite. We
have got to put aside Clevelandism
and Organism for it is impossible to
produce satisfactory mixture of
these t"2 conflicting elements.
am not worrying my head secur-
ing declaration from Judge Parker
as to his position on political issues.
.It is perhaps fortunate that he is
without record on the issues which
have heretofore divided the Democra-
tic party, and 1t is perhaps fortunate
Tor the party, and also an element of
strength to. Judge Parker, that he is
not required to do any at this stage
OF the proceedings"
The managers of Bir. Hearst insist
on placing South Carolina in the
Hearst colum, remarked the report
er.
Il cannot prevent Mr.. Hearst.s
managers from making claim to South
Carolina, but 1 am in measure ia
miliar with the sentiment of our peo-
pie regarding candidate, and we ex-.
pect to go to the convention and vote
for the man we think has a chance Of
winning. In my Judgment pres
ent prospects are bright, and Ibelisss
half OF a. safe, practical candidaSsI5t
who is not directly identified with
either the Cleveland or the Bryan
wings of the party, we can elect him"
This is the first political statement
made by Senator Tillman since his
dangerous illness. He returntd to
Washington from his home in Edge
field and was given cordial greeting
in the senate by his associates on both
sides Of the chamber.

 In the first opening of Oklahoma to settlers in 1889, the editor of this paper was among the many seekers after for. tune who made the big race one fine day in April. During his travelling about and afterward his camping upon his claim, he encountered much bad water, which, together with the severe heat, gave him very severe diarrhoea. which 1t seemed almost impossible to check, and along in June the case be- came so bad he expected to die. One day one of his neighbors brought him one small bottle of Cham berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as a last hope. A big dose was given him while he was rolling about on the ground in great agony, and in few minutes the dose was repeated. The good effect of the medicine was soon DO. ticed and within an hour the patient was taking his first sound sleep for a fortnight That one little bottle work ed complete cure, and he cannot help but feel grateful.
