ENMITY LONG STANDING
The Columbia Tragedy Emanated from
Old Hatted
The TimesDemocrat
Charleston 8 C January IT The enmity
between Ucuteuant Governor Tillman and
Udltor Gonzales which culminated In the
tragedy nt Columbia S C dates back to
Grover Clevelands aecond administration
when Mr Gonzales was seeking an appoint
ment as consul nt a South American port
At that time Tillman was the Washing
ton correspondent of an afternoon paper
In this State and In an article concern
ing the candidacy ot Gonzales he made
statements which offended the latter
Gonzales publicly denounced the story
as a lie Tlie two men met lu a hotel
In Washington a day or two later and
pergonal encounter was narrowly
averted
This Iricldent engendered bad blood and
when Tillman several years afterward
applied for membership In a social club In
Columbia the black ball of Gonzales proved
fatal to his aspirations
Thereupon Tillman commissioned n friend
to call on Unnzjlei and ask him If he
would accept a challenge to tight a due
The editor tersely replied
Tell him to send It If he wants to
know what Ill do lut Tillman never
didWhen
When the Spanish American war began
Tllluiun then practicing law In Ddgeilelii
H t wn made lieutenant colonel of the
Ilrst South Carolina regiment The reg
lmeut encamped ut Jacksonville
Stories of Tillmans drinking were cir
culated and cauftlc comments theron ap
peared In the editorial columns of Mr
Gonzulc newspaper Tlllmau was nt odds
with his colonel Joseph K Alston and
Induced the members of his regiment to
sign a petition requesting the secretary of
war to hnve the regiment mustered out
ot service While the matter was belug con
sidered at Washington Colonel Alston died
and Tlllmau succeeded him
Thereupon be made strenuous efforts to
hnve the petition which lie had circulated
withdrawn nnd the regiment retained In
ite wns not successful Ills nctlon
In this erUodc was construed as confirma
tion of tie charge that his hatred for Cob
one Alston nnd Ms desltc to humiliate him
was bis mothe to have the authorities In
Washington to imiMor the regiment out
A few weeks prior to this Tlllmau created
a sensation In Columbia by appearing unex
peedxlly In that town and in a wild har
angue to the members of the Second South
Carolina rpgtment encamped there urged
theni t dlsrecnil the wishes ot their of
fleer mid petition the war department to
dlchand the regiment
Tillman would have been arrested by Lieu
tenant Colonel Thomson who wan lu com
mand of the regiment had Tillman uot left
the city ns soon as ho learned that officers
worn looking for him
The merciless Indictment of Lieutenant
Governor Tillman by Kdltor Gonzales In the
Slate during the campaign last summer ub
nuestlonablr defeated him In his rnre for
the gubernatorial chair He was branded
liar and documentary evidence submitted
to prove It Tillman never made any ef
fective replv
The Slate was supported In Its fierce and
pitiless attacks on Ttllmnu by ten out Of the
eleven dally newspapers In the State and
even weeUlr newspaper of Influence
After the election Lieutenant Governor Tlll
mtin sent n challenge to Editor Gonzales to
light n duel Mr Gonzales contemptuously
replied
In
nn editorial
The editor of the < tnte Is not nlaylug In
n melodrama nnd has no tn te for It In his
paper he has citlled Jim Tillman what ho
was and what In public Interest It was tiee
cjunry to call him and what ho hits said
about htm he has proved If any grievance
exists It Is not on the part of Mr Gonzales
Who franltlv ndtnlts the election has given
him full satisfaction
There tho ls ue rested Gonzates had not
referred to Tllltnnn In tho Btntn since the
election and tlio latter had signified no
di lro to renew hostilities
rnblle sentiment so far ns manifested ts
strongly condemnatory of Tillmans deed
