Pitchfork Senator Say a Bleaae
Shall Never Carry OatPBa
Threat to -jl a k e People
Sweat Mood.
8partanburg, S. C., Sept. 2.?It an
open latter to Governor Cole. L.
Bleaae, Senator B. R. Tillman. In
characteristic language resenta the
oft repeated aaaertlon In thta State
recently that Bleaaeiam la Till nanism.
The senator asks Blaaaa to neet
the criminal charges that have been
brought agalnat him. denounces his
methods and urges him to try to be '
a "decent governor."
"TUlmanism means genuine Demoracy,
the rule of the people?of * 11
the white people?rich and poor
alike with special privileges and favors
to none, with equality of opportunity
Md equality of burden to all"
Says the senator. "Bleaaeism on the
contrary, means personal ambition
and greed for office?the office to be
used not for the welfare of all.tj6
people and of the State, but for
'Bleaae and bin friends, none others
need apply.' **
Shall Nevefr Carry Out Throat.
Further he Bays: "You never snail,
if I ean prevent it, carry out your
threat to make the people of Sou^h
Carolina 'sweat blood' because so
many of them have not been bamboozled
and debauched by yonr
demagogic appeals."
Again referring to the difference
between Tillman tarn and Bleaaism, he
says:
"I want those who consider
Bleaseism as Tlllmanism to take this
contrast into consideration when
they make up their final judgment.
Tlllmanism as Tillman preaches it
and has always preached it is noble,
high and elevating. Bleaseism is
selfish, low. dirty and revengeful."
The 8enator rejoices in the vote
he received in the recent primary
from those who have always opposed
, him, but charges Bleaae with having
. stolen the vote of the old-line Tlll,
man 1 tea from him. He tells the Gov,
ernor he has lost the respect of Mrs.
; Tillman, who has in the past defended
him. because of his recent
, statement as to what took place when
. Blease called upon him in Washing>
ton. The Senator says Mrs. Tillman
, "knows you told an untruth*' about
that Interview.

I am glad indeed to see the pofel- le

or charges that Mr. O. Humley li not ci
a good and efficient Register, yet v<
there are young men fully as compe- al
tent; men who have spent their time a
working for the success of the Eiem- b\
ocratic party, and helping others to is
get elected every two years: now ki
why not reward some of these men. m
Mr. W. T. Hudnell, who announced v<
his candidacy for the Register's of- m
flee, Is qualified in every way; he is
a farmer boy, and his success in the
business world has been achieved by B
hard knocks and cfose attention to yt
business. He only asks for the office di
for two terms and at the expiratiod ci
of four years he will walk down and 01
out and become a worker In the ft
ranks of the party as heretofore.
