Declares He Was Never
Opposed to White Su

And A3serts That the New
York Independent Mis
quoted Him.
Wants to Come Back to His Home and
Lire in Peace With His Neighbors
for the Best of His Days.
Columbia, S. C, May Through the
editor of the weekly paper published at
ureenwooa, t. t. xoioert, tne republi
can nominee in the last election for
congress from ihe Third district of
South Carolina, and the present con
testor of Congressman Latimer's seat,
has sent to his former neighbors of
Phoenix a statement. He wishes- to
return, and makes promises for th
future, while claiming to have been
misrepresented la the past. He says:
"If a year ago I could have foreseen
what was going to occur, I would-not
have accepted the nomination for con
gress. I have always been a republicaa
and was never afraid nor ashamed to
rllflT rAnnViHa r. ' nrlnflnloo Vint T
have never knowingly given any nian
advice that-would tend to make fcim
other than a good tltfzen. I have nev
er been afraid t negroes homing rtiHce,
or in favor of any ' man, whtfe o:
black, exercising f he right of suffrage
unless qualified. I am a believer in
white supremacy. "When I was. nomin
ated for congress I wanted to make as
good. a showing as possible, and want-
id to refute the statement that repub
licans were receiving nominations for
office solely for the purpose of getting
money out of the-rational campaign
fund."
Tolbert repudiates the interview with
him published in the New York Inde
pendent, wherein he was made to al
lude to the people of Greenwood as
"white trash."
1 have been misrepresented and
misunderstood, and I want to get right
before the people cf my home. I have
been a republican from principle, but if
any one can convince me that I am
wrong I will speedily abandon the par
ty. I want to go back to my home
with my wife and children, and live
there in peace till the end of my days.
I want io have the friendship and good
will of my neighbors. I don't ask any
thing more, and I will not be satisfied
with anything less."

Advised Americans to Pay Duties to

New Orleans , I.fay 6. Advices re

ditions there unchanged. The British

week. Her orders r-.'ace her Ait th
posal of the Brti&n consul. After a
short stay at Bluefiolds the -Proerplne
went to Greytown. Her captain says
he was instructs 1 te watch that the
Nicaraguans carry cut the instructions
of the consul. v
Minister Merry is disgusted at his in
ability to receive news from Washing
ton by telegraph. He has notified the
authorities ' that unless he could hear
from home he would leave on the
cruiser Detroit for Colon to enable him
to communicate with Sfcretary of
StateiHay, and, if r.ecessary, he would
leturn with three men of war. As the
conditions were unimproved Minister
Merry sailed ou,lie Detroit,
Before leaving he advised Americans
to pay the duty in dispute to a third
party to be held until the courts de-.
cided whether it was legally due. The
merchants do not relish the advice and
view it as an sbandonment of the
American contention and also say
Merry's departure will be viewed by
the natives ae a backdown , and will
result in subjecting the Americans to
humiliations .md persecutions, which
will render remaining there impossible.

cided in regard to the time for calling
the session, iL Indeed, there will be an
extra session. So far as he knew an
