Ouantzstox, 8. C., July 23.—Politics never wore in a bigger ‘‘moss” in South Carolina than they are today. There are four factions—the anti-Tillman straightout democrats, the Till- man anti-subtreasury alliance men, tho sub- treasury alliance men and the republicans. The fight last year between the farmer ele- ment, headed by Gov. Tillman, and the “straightout” democrats, which resulted in such @ decisive victory for the former, the election of Tillman to :he governorship and the defeat of Senator Wade Hampton for re- election to the Senate, embittered these two factions of the democratic party against each other so that they will have nothing to do with one another.

Imagine, thon, the horror of the alliance people when the newspapers proved some time fgo that Gov. Tillman himself had accepted Passos since his election and was riding all over the country on them. The next they heard along that line was that Senator ton's good alliance succewor was ridihg on a pass, too. The farmers were greatly shocked by these revelations, and they got together and “re- solved” thet their governor and Senator must surrender those passes. But so far their reso- lutions have bud no effect, for it was only th other day that Gov. Tillman, while delivering a speech, produced his railroud d waved ittriumphantly over his bead, declaring that while it was a groat convenience, no little thing like that could bribe him. The Charleston World, which supported Till- man for governor, now goes for that gentieman in the following style: “What outrageous nonsense it is to attempt to palliate Gov. Tillman's acceptance of rail- road passes by the statement that editors also use them. The railroads expect pay for the passos they give the newspaper men, and th get tt, too, soveral times over in the tices of excursions, &c., &c. Railroads seldom give something for nothing.

The Atlanta Constitution, the leading demo- eratie paper of the state, but which has more or less decided “protection” views on the tariff question, is the chief actor in this conspiracy against the ex-President, and the weapon it ha chosen to club Mr. Cleveland with is the Farmers’ Alliance and the Ocala platform.

The Chronicle hos been pointing all als ¢ to this inevitable drift. ‘Ihe creed advo- cated by tho alliance and encouraged by Atlanta’ Constit points nhturally to the third party.

Bayly, Dr. Hughes and Dr. Gladmon were the persons to whom, the story said, the office had been ‘ised. Inquiries by Stan reporters, however, showed ‘that neither Dr. Gladmon nor Dr. Hughes made any such claim and Mr. Crane and Mr. Bayly only were left in the field. Mr. Crane, who feels himself aggrieved, today brought the mat- ter to public attention by addressing a letter to Col. Robert, Engineer Commissioner, ‘ich he asked to withdraw all thathe had said in favor of Dr. Hammett ins former letter in- dorsing Dr. Hammett for health officer. ‘€R. CRANE'S COMPLAINT. “Ihavo never,” Mr. Crane's letter says, “been. ‘an applicant for any position under the health department, but Dr. Hammett urged me to accept the porition of deputy health officer temporarily, sxying he had promised the place to a Mr. Barly, who had been stricken with partial blindness, and who, he was sure, would not be able to aticnd to the duties of the office forsixmonthsatlenst, i . ‘If you desire me to take this placo 1 wish it distinctly understood, 80 that Tcan use the time intervening in post- ing myself in regard to the duties of the office, but unless I have your positive assurance that Iam to go into the office with you on the Ist of August I donot wish todevote any more time to the matter.’ He replied in the presence of a wit- ness: ‘Mr. Crane, you may consider yourself appointed and I want you to know that I re- gard your acceptance of this position as a great mal favor to me.'" Mr. Crane proceeding, says: “In this conneo- tion I wish to state that according to reports ublished at the timo Dr. Hammett promised Bommisstoner Douglass that he woul appoint & prononneed republican as his chief clerk, and at Mr. Douglass’ s ion he agreed to offer the plnce to Dr. Hughes, which he never did. I would also say thet I am informed that while Dr. Hnghes visiting Dr. Hammett be was led to infer by Dr. Hammett’s manner that he (Hammett) was not trying for the position of health officer, but was using his influence for Dr. Hughes.” Mr. Crane complains of what he calis “double dealing” on Dr. Hammett’s part. He criticises Dr. Hammett for having bad Present at a conference to which Mr. Crane was invited Monday night one of the clerks of the health office who for years had been a silent witness of all the doings of that office. Dr. Hammett, be said, had a secret conference with this clerk, the result of which, Mr. Crane says he belioves, was that this clork was to be re- tained to assist Mr. Bayly, while he (Mr. Crane), who had been invited so cordially to accept the Position of confidential chief clerk, was ignored. DRAWING A PARALLEL. Mr. Crane asserts that his treatment at Dr. Hommett’s hands has been the same as that which Dr. Hammett complained of on the part of the Commissioners when after unanimously electing him health officer they proceeded Jo elect Dr. Reyburn. “One week ago,” he says, “Dr. Hammett urged me to take the position of deputy health ofticer for sixmonths or longer, if Mr. Bayly did not recover in that time, and when I finally accepted he enid he would send me my appoint ment in a few days, and that be wished me to © into the office with him on the lst day of August. I was told several days ago that he had made other arrangements, but up to last night I had no intimation from him that be does not want me to take the posi- tion he so persistently tendered me one week Mr. Crane, after somewhat frecly criticising Dr. Hammett, asks to have this letter put on file side by side with his letter of the 13th in- stant, leaving it for Col. Robert to act after knowing all the facts as hie judgment may dic- tate. DM. -HAMMETI'S STATEMENT. Dr. Hammett when asked today about Mr. Crane's complaint denied that he had ected in bad faith toward Mr. Crane in any way, and said that there was a eet on Mr. rt which he greatly regretted. The circumstances of the case as Dr. Ham- mett relnted them were as follows: The office, he said, had originally been promised to Mr. 8. P. Bayly, jr., whom he considered a thoroughly competent man. Mr. Ba: iy was a short time ago stricken ill while at Dr. Hammett’s house and remained there under treatment. His ill- ness was of so serious a character that Dr. Ham- mett feared he would not be able to undertake the duties of his new office for several months, if at all. ‘This, Dr. Hammett ssid, embarrassed him, and when it was proposed by friends of Mr. ne that the latter would take the office temporarily and help him get the new adminis- tration of the office under way he gratefully accepted the offer and — subsequently interviews with Mr. Crane, in which he expressed his gratitude tohim. He said his understanding was that Mr. Crane would discharge the dnties of the office only until Mr. Bayly recovered eufti- ciently to enter upon them. The only promises he had made, he said, were conditioned on Mr. Bayly’s continued sickness. He had introduced Mr. Crane to Mr. Bayly and asked them to talk the matter over. Now, he said, Mr. Bayley was well and able to enter the office himself. He believed Mr. Crane perfectly understood that Mr. Bayly would take the office if able, as ho had no¥eupposed Mr. Crane desired. the office he was greatly surprised at the attitude that gentleman taken. ‘DR. HUGHES AND DR. GLADMON. Dr. Hammett has in his possession a letter “Ihereby state that Dr. Hammett never offered me the position of chief clerk or even mentioned the matter to me, and I also state only goiag in temporarily or unt ‘Ms: Bayly only going in temporarily or until Mr. Bayly was well enough to take charge of the place.” Dr. Hammett said in reference to Dr. Glad- mon that he had not made any specific offer to him, but had expressed himself as grateful to im. He had, he said, a perfect understanding with Dr, Gladmoa, whom he was assisting to secure a position not under the health officer. Dr.Gladmon today declined to beinterviewed. Ho said he had not been treated in anything butakindly manner by Dr. Hammett and he, therefore, was not in the fight. ae CLEVELAND'S ORGAN STOPS, Gives Up the Fight, From the New York Herald. Considerations That Induced the Adoption of the Mecent Plan. ‘The plan that Posed ras bas been adopted of allowing to run ite new cable track through the parking ‘on the south side of C street between New Jer~ Sey avenue and Ist street, is nota new one but was suggested some years ago. It wae thought then not worth while to make the change and the plans and suggestions have been lying around the District buildings ever since. In putting down these new tracks the railroad company asked that the of location be settled once for all. Capt. Ros sell showed the various plans to Col. Robert ‘and the parking plan at once suggested iteclf to him as being the most satisfactory and feasible ‘one. As it has been heretofore, C street could hardly be said tohave been ina normal condition, On the north wide there is no parking at all, while on thesonth side the ts unosually wide, so wide in fact as to necessitate an inner and an outer sidewalk. The outer sidewalk has Sow of trees on each side. The Metropol- itam lines track is on the north side of C street and the double tracks of the Washington and Georgetown Company are on the south side and very close to the curbing, Commissioner Dougiass’ plan was to move back the sidewalk on the south side of the street so that all the tracks might be in the street proper. This plan, according to Capt. Rossell, would involve Tows of trees. The plan as adopted by a majority of the board, Commissioners Ross and Kobert, is for the tracks to turn before they reach C strort, dc over the sidewalk on Ist treet to go up on the parking between inner row of trees and the sidewalk in front of the houses. It will still leave a sidewalk and a parking of over thirty fect bgtween the houses and, tracks—more than fs usual on streets that have tracks in the center. In this way, the ad- ¥ocates of the plan maintain,’ the care will not be much of a nuisance to the residents on the street and besides will give the road plenty of room for shifting its ‘cars and for ‘eeping them standing near the Baltimore and Ohio station for the convenience of the travel- ing public. It will not be necessary to remove any trees at all in this way. apt. Rossell admits that there are two faults to be found with this plan. One is that pedes- trians going north on the east side of Ist street will have to’ cross the tracks before they would naturally expect them and before they get to ° street proper. The second is that the people living on © street will have to crow @ car track before they get tothe main sidewalk on the street. On the other hand it is maintained that the ad- ‘vantages far outweigh the disadvantages. 1 track will stop before they reach the New Jer- sey avenue sidewalk. ‘The Commissioners hold that the parking as it now stands is nota permanentone, but exists simply because of an omission in the past to widen the street to ite proper dimensions. This was the answer they cent today to a man who asked permission to use the parking on South Carolina avenue for a tennis court on the ground that the railroad had been granted the right to use the parking on C street for its tracks. gi ——————— LOOKING UP AUTHORITIES, Officers of the War Department Studying the Use of Troops in the States. In view of the possibility of a demand being made by Gor. Buchanan of Tennessee upon the President for United States troops to aid the state militia in suppressing the miners’ out break officers of the War Department have been looking into the legal aspect of the case. The result of the inquiry up to this point, while not conclusive, is sufficient to cast grave doubt upon the successful iseue of such a de- mand by the governor. Section 4 of the fourth article of the Constitution provides that the President may render necessary as- sistance with troops upon the the legislature of a tate and of when the legislature cannot be convened. This is understood not to be the case at present im ‘Tennessee. Scction 5299, Revised Statutes, makes it the duty of the President to take such measares, by the employment of the militia or the land and naval forces of the United States or of cither,or by other menns, as he may deem necessary for the suppression of domestic violence, obstruct- ing the laws of the United States or of the state when tonding to deprive the people of the state of the privileges guaranteed by the Coustita- tion of the United States. It is not clear in this case that the constitutional prerogative is attacked, and this particular law was passed in 1871 to mect alleged indisposition of the south- ern state executives to protect individual vot- ers. Ithas also been uniformly held that the ing upon applications for troops and mast first satisfy himself as to the legality of the deman as well as upon the points of necessity an equity. These considerations make it evident that {f Gov. Buchanan applies for the assist- ance of United Btates troops the result of his application is by no means certain. ee NEW HOU!
