Notwithstanding the publication IN

LEAVE NAVAL AFFAIRS
SENATOR T1LIIMAN DECLINES
CHAITMANSHIP.
he Has Decided to Accept tho Chair
manship Of the Important Commit
tee on Appropriations.

tee on Appropriations.
A Charleston dispatch say it is re-
ported in a special from Washington
that Senator Tillman has decided to
.ake the chairmansh.p Of the appro-
iriaticns committee in preference to
tie naval committee or the commerce
committee, because the appropria-
ton work will be less onerous for
him. II he does this. there will be
considerable disappointment in this
S1ate, since it was hoped that he
would assume the head Of the power
tul naval body.
The special from washington 10 as
follows:
Senator John Walter Smith, OF
Maryland, will be chairman OF the
Senate naval affairs committee wneu
the upper branch Of Congress 10 re-
organized, according to the present
Democratic program.
This fact developed when party
leaders became convinced that SEN
ator T1llman Of South Carolina, now
the ranking Democrat on the coni-
u.ittee, had decided to take the chair
manship Of the committee on aDDro-
priations.
"Siuce it became known definitely
that the Democrats would organize
the next Senate, Senator Smith has
been ambitious to head the naval AL
fairs committee.
Senator Tillman, however. has
told friends that he did not feel
strong enough to meet the duties OF
the naval committee. Having
choice between two or even three
important chairmanships, the South
ernsz has decided to take that OF the
appropriations committee leaving the
caucus free to name Senator Smith
for the more exactins position.
"By this decision Tillman makes
probable. too, the election OF Senator
Martin OF Virginia, as chairman OF
the committee ON commerce. The
South Carolina Senator 10 the rank
ing member OF that body also. but In
taking the appropriation chairman
ship he leaves commerce open to the
virginian."

Senator Bailey's speech was An at
tack upon the principles Of the initia-

location OF State capitals and the set

stances Of government, he declared
the schemes for direct legislation by

States from a republic into a democ-
racy, and would give its control into

and the vicious"

he characterized Mr.. Hearst a.

Arizona to his feet. He attempted

Bailey's attack upon radical newspa-
pers and magazines. but was stopped

4th, and herewith return you Sena-
tor MeL's very interesting letters.
wrote Senator Mel. some days ago,
expressing my great admiration Tor
his wise and courageous course and
saying to him that l would be very
glad to confer with him at any time
.ither IN person or by letter. Of
course, the situation Is now entirely
changed. and the campaign Will not
be made at present. This ls un-
douStsdly very favorable to Senator
Nell, az the trend. of events Is GER
tainly tremendouslyzin his favor. I
am especially delighted this morning
over Governor McSweeney's reply to
Tillman. Tillman is 80 rank q dem
asogue and the logic Of events Is so
much against him, that II McLaurin
will only keep coole, perhaps doing
a little judicious nagging occasion
ally, Tillman will hang himself. 1t
would be the greatest possible mis-
take for Mel. to lose his temper,
and be drawn into anything like
personal encounter with Tillman. 1t
would be 20 far beneath his dignity
personally. and would 50 injure the
reat step OF progress which he has
had the courage to undertake on be-
half Of his State and the South, that
Il would be almost 8 national mis-
fortune.
Very truly yours,
Jno. D. ATchbold.
Hon. ]. c. Sibley.
Franklin, Pa.
The fact that Senator Tillman
nas upon the popular side made him
a 1T subject for Mr.. Archbold's vitup-
Grafton, and again we have an exam
ole of Mr.. Archbold's disposition, 30
lyrical OF all men of his class, to at
t:ioute unworthy motives to al! those
that oppose him and TO applaud the
Lu1poses OF all those that agree with
h:r,. "Tillman is 30 rank dema-
gusre" in M. Archbold's opinion be-
cause &c insists upon representing
the people OF his State instead OF be-
coming { subservient tool OF the
Standard Ci! Company.
On tho other hand MI. Archbold
expresses his great admiration" for
Senator McLaurin's wise and cour-
ageous course" because Senator Nc
Laurin had called for Standard Oil
support and put himself under obli-
cations to the Standard Oil inter-
ests. It is the habit Of the repre-
