Senator Tillnan.

The sears of veteran are the
nOblest insignia of honor. Senator
Tillman of South Carolina was never
greater figure in American ewes
than in these days of his i'll health.
But no amount Of physical suffer-
ing can break a spirit as indomita BILE
as that Of any man who ever lived.
The fearlessness, the intellectual
power. the invincible will of Senator
Tlllman are what they have always
been. He is a candidate for another
term In the senate. 1t should be
granted him. We are sure his con-
stiutents feel, as the country does.

ernment Sprung from the people.
beginning against the handicap of
great odds. he fought his way to the
foremost rank of orators, legislators
and parliamentarians by sheer genius
and force Of character. His great
personality has subdued the animosi-
ties of an earlier time. Eighteen
years in the senate have made him
understood, not only by the State Of
South Carolina, but by the whole ma
ton. The United States recognizes in
Benjamin r. Tillman one Of the ablest
and most dauntless champions Of lib
erty, one of the most relentless foes
of special privilege who ever drew
breath. In stronghold of pluto
cracy, he has fought, year in and year
out, the battles Of the people. The
senate, the American republic, cannot
afford to lose Tillman. Buffalo

chief justice. Ira Il. Jones?
He was aggressive in the days of
fillmanism, as he is now, and as a
ftllmanite he was very pronounced in
his views.
He stood out among the Tillmanites
as one of their leaders and by the
straightouts he was considered one
of the cleanest. strongest, and ablest
adherents of Tillmanism. He was
greatly honored by the members Of
his faction and he filed the several
positions to which he was chosen
with distinguished ability. AS a MEM
ber Of the Supreme Court of the State
and especially as Chief Justice he
gracefully wore the ermine with con-
spicuous dignity, decorum. and dis
tinction.
Against his reputation for personal
and official integrity of purpose and
of principle there is not the slightest
breath of sane suspicion.
AS an upright gentleman. a dis
tinguished jurist. ripe and vigorous
statesman he would as Governor Of
South Carolina administer the affairs
of our State with intelligent justice
and marked ability.

StOtnart, cnler cOnStaDle ana graft
collector in Charleston is still on the
job. He refuses to resign and Gov.
Blease Is afraid to remove him. Stot-
hart declines to testify because it
would incriminate him, but if he were
removed his scruples about telling all
he knows might be removed and this
would make it uncomfortable for
Blease.
Gov. Blease says he is. opposed to
social equality but the record shows
that he has voted, not once but several
times. for Jones whom he charges with
advocating social equality. Do not
forget this when you get ready to vote
on the 27th.
Mayor Grace who is a former friend
and ardent supporter of Blease. but
now his bitter enemy and political
ten-egged in Spartanburg Saturday
night by Blease's friends. If Grace
had not turned against Blease. what
a different reception these same men
would have given him in Spartanburg.
Had he spoken for Blease, instead of
stale eggs they would have given him
flowers. instead Of being howled down
he would have been cheered to the
echo and carried from the stand on
the shoulders of the Blease Strong
arm squad. On the other hand do you
believe the Jones men of Spartanburg
would have rottcn-egged Grace had he
made ~ Blease speech instead of a
Jones speech? Have the Jones men
nOwied down Blease or a Blease
speaker anywhere? Have the Jones
men failed to give Blease respect
ful hearing anywhere. except where
Jones had first been denied hear
ing by the Blease crowd? The fact of
the matter is. Blease and his sup
porters seem afraid to hear the truth
and do. not want to hear Judge Jones
or any other speaker who criticises
and exposes Bleases official record
At the first meeting. in this city. Blease
was given quiet and respectful
hearing. but you all know how Judge
Jones was treated by a small number
of Blease's friends They did not
want to hear what Jones would say
and they drowned his voice with noise
and interrupted his speech from begin
ming to end. so that he had no OPP
portunity to make a connected ad-
dress. Sill. some of those who are
tor Blease say they were disappoint-
ed in Jones speech. They made So
much noise that they could not hear
what Jones said. and yet were dis
appointed. We presume all those
who howl down Jones or others who
, speak i'm advocacy of his election. are
disappointed and they show it by
yelling.

Re views His Previous Statement an,
answers Made by the Governor to
thc Charges.

OF COY. BleaSeS reply to the charges
made by Mayor John p. Grace of
Charleston, Mr.. Grace today gave ont
a long statement, part Of which fol-
lows
Il am somewhat in doubt as to
whether or not | should take any ver-
bal notice Cf Blease's reply o my
charges and am strongly inclined not
to do so. | only do SO because on the
whole think il better to keep the rec
ord straight
Anybody who will read my inter-
view will at once see that | in no
place accused Blease of being present
and taking part in what | termed the
carouse at Wright's hotel the night
before the Inauguration, so that it
was not necessary for him to go TO
the trouble of getting afidavits from
Mr.. Wright and DR.. Houseal They
are both telling the truth, if their af-
ndavlt5 are both confined to state
ments that Blease was not in the
gang that night.

MS TRADE against the press for pub
fishing my statement about the
bridge episode Ugly as it was and as
admittedly certain as il is to shock
the decent sensibilities of not only
the girls and ladies but also the gen
tlemen of the State, it was neverthe
less told with as delicate q touch as
was capable Of giving it, 1t was
chastity itself compared with the vul-
gar, obscene grossness which he
seemed to relish in telling it first
