j Senator Tillman has addressed a
letter to the people of South Carolina
lin which, after recounting what he
I supposes to have been his inestimable
isevvice to the State, he declares his
positive purpose of retiring- h-om pub
lic life at the end of his. present term
oi office. “If I live,” he says, “to
ilaixh 4th, 1919, I.shall die out' c-f aiid
riot in public ahrness.’* In closing
the Senator exprei5ses mortificatio!i
that the priaiary system ahs not de
veloped ir. the people sufficient- intel-
lijience to enable them to escape the
wiles, and tricks cf demajrogues, hut
has confidenL-e that the people , will
correct the evils into -which they have
been led a!-id restore' the good name
of a State which Bleasism has made
bv-\voi-d and hissing. He does iK't
think ISleasc worti'.y ta occupy, a se.it
in the councils of the nation, holdirii
ihat he has flaKrantiv abused his pow
er -;\s (governor and he expects -tliai
ci’ August lTi the votevs of South
clina w-iU ratify that .iudgmer^t by
fiectingr Blea.se ot stay at.ho.nii^.
The Senator is very successful in
loii'ting: out reasons why the man
chiefly responsible for the ex'istirifr
tk-plorabio conditions in South Caro
lina should be remanded to private
life and so depri^-eii of larg-e vl;snc-t;'s
for doing inischief. But he is n^jt so
successful ill refuting the grounds
v.'hich many persons believe Bieasisn!
