TILLMAN STABS BlEASE
Big Boss Fires of Sensational Politi-
cal Document.

People of political discernment nat
urally suspected that the Tillman-F Fer
guson correspondence referred to by
the Spartanburg Herald last week
which reference was reproduced In The
Enquirer of Friday, was q political
mine" Of some kind, but its exact ma
ture was not apparent until Saturday
morning when everything became clear
enough
The state canvass had closed, the
weeklies and semi-weeklies had gotten
out their last prediction issues, there
was no time for full circulation, read
ing and digestion, and Senator Tillman
applied the match to the mine he had
previously planted in the hope OF
smashing Blease, electing Jones and
getting off as lightly as possible HIM
self. 1t was just like Tillmanism. A
big brave man such as thousands be-
lieved the senator to be, would II he
had been intending to interfere into a
race like this. done so long ago when
the people would have had full oppor-
tunity to weigh and consider whatever
might be said in accordance with its
merits. But Senator Tillman has not
seen proper to work that way. He pre-
ferred to resort to a scheme which, In
his judgment, would promise most
harm to the object Of attack with the
least danger to himself.
That the Harrison Ferguson letter
was shrewdly planned goes without
saying. Anybody can see 1t. Tillman
had said that Judge Jones was eminent
ly qualified for the governorship and
had not said as much about Governor
Blease, although he had defended the
governors administration, even his
pardon record. Therefore the friends
of the governor were clamoring for q
similar endorsement of their man. Judge
Jones offered hundred dollars to any
body who could get the senator to say
it. Whether that was a part Of the
scheme or not Is matter Of inference.
Anyway, Tillman was deluged with
letters by the thousand demanding that
he say as much for Governor Blease as
he had said for Judge Jones. -.
