Columbia, 8. C.May 10..Outwardly
the political Situation In this State is
quiet, but one does not need to go very
far below the surface to find the same
elements of discord tbat read« the last
campaign the hottest and bitterest over
known.
The lines between the Tillmanltes
and the aDti-Tillmanites nre as clearly
drawn as they ever were. Thero bus
been no burying of the hatchet, no
making up or old quarrels sinco the
new administration came in. The
policy of the administration does not
seem to have been cast wltb any view
to w Inning frlouds from the opposition,
and with the exception of a few indiit is probable that there bos
viduals,
been little change in the ranks of the
two factions .-inn; last summer's hot
fight.
In the endeavor to lind how Gov.
Tillman's administration is pleasing
the people, I have been met with just
this state of affairs. The men who put
Tlllman in the gubernatorial cbalr are
disposed to yield unquestioning sup¬
to his administration. The men
port
who fought, to keep bim out of thut
jhair are inclined, as a rule, to criticize
bis actions very closely and to freely
bis motives. The vinegar and
ImpuRU
of the last campaign are too fresh
n memory to permit of perfectly un¬
biased
judgment on either side.
There are, of course, many exceptions.
A considerable element of tbe opposi¬
tion to Tillman are disposed to bold off
and give bim a chance to show what
he can do, allowing him full credit for
bis good deeds and excusing what seem
to be errors rather of judgment thuu of
heart.
I think I find here, however, a pretty
admission tbat the Tillman ad¬
general
ministration has not differed radically
one way or the other from preceding
administrations. It has been a clean

sung so lugubriously by the extreme
opponents of Tillman have been real¬
ized. No sensible man expected that
they would be. Only a return to carpet
bag rule would check the State's mate¬
rial re-awakening.
""What of tho next campaign?"
It is a long way off yet, but it is being
discussed.
k
When I usked Oov. Tillman about it
he said it was too far off to talk about
It now.
"It will be a bitter light.will it not?"
I queried.
"It couldn't be bitterer than the last,"
he said, witb a luugh.
Sinco tbe defeat of Wade Hampton
for the Senate there has been a feeling
tho State tbat tbe next
throughoutwould
largely turn on that
campaign
incident, and that cither Qen. Hampton
himself or some man representing him
would be put forward as the anti-ad¬
ministration candidate for the guber¬
natorial nomination.
There is hardly a doubt, according to
my boat information, tbat that is ex¬
actly what will be done. Tbe situation
may change completely before 1892, but
unless it does it is more than likely
that if Hampton himself does not
op¬
pose Tillman, the man who does will
be one whose election could be consid¬
ered a vindication of Hampton.
This is taking it for granted, oseveiyand anti's.is

Ibra Tillman will be a candidate doing,
for re¬
election. Of I Ida there can bo hardly
a doubi. i asked tho Governor if be
i would run again, and bo. of course, de¬
clined to say either "jid" or "no," but
the logic of the situation makes it al¬
most certain he will.
Tho State ofllcials decline to talk
about the next campaigu for publica¬
tion, but I gather from conversations
with various administration leaders
that they look for last year's struggle
to be repeated in tbe coming campaign,
with perhaps added beat and bitter¬
ness, and tbat they expect the light to
bo between Tillman and Hampton.
Said a prominent Tillmanite to me:

Thus does tbe course of events bring
home The Herald's admonitions on thlB
subject.
At tbe beginning of tbe last session
of congress It pointed out precisely this
result, that the treasury would be prac¬
tically
empty within six months unless
some of the pension legislation should
be repealed or the pension frauds re¬
moved from the pay lists.

then has come true.

Look at some sample cases of the way
this waste through 200,000 spigots goes
on.
Take the case of Jesse L. Talman,
holder of pension certllicate No. 130.205,
a member of Company 11,

a year. Suppose we follow his case
from point to point as shown on the
papers on lile in the pension bureau and
see bow easy it is to get a pension with¬
out deserving one.
Talman was discharged from the
army on September 15tb, 1805, and put
in a claim for a pension on the ground
of "disability".wound in the right
heel.
This claim was investigated, and on
7th, 1870, rejected as having no

merit.
Talman promptly put in another
claim, and on Juno 10th, 1874, tho case
was reopened. He was then granted a
pension of 85 a month, to date from his
from the army.
discharge
In May, 1870 on the strength of an¬
other application, this was increased
to 88 a month, to date from April 27,
1870.
With this the modest Talman seems
to have been content until November,
1885. He then came up with an appli¬
cation for another increase, which was
rejected on November 0. The follow¬
ing April be was on hand again with
still another application, which was re¬
jected April 20.
Thereupon Talman tried a fresh
tack. On July 13. 1880, behold bim at
the doors of the pension bureau again
for an increase on tho same

This application, having been investi¬

application,
up, 1 suppose, for there appears to have
been no other ground, granted the part
uf the application based upon the
wound in the heel and fixed the pension
at 824 a month from June 1,1887.
Mr. Ialman's heel was now earning
more than some persons can earn with
both haads, and was doing quite well
thank you.
Nevertheless be seems to have
t hought it might do a little better. On
February
11, 1888, not a year after his
last increase, be came down upon the
bureau with his seventh application,
tirst and last, and this time he wanted,
poor man, both increase and rerating.
This time tbe application slept until
lune 11, 1889. Then, as everybody
was getting pensions, reratings, in¬
creases and anything else he wanted,
Mr. Talman visited the pension bureau
in person and wanted to know where
was his share of the boodle. So the
commissioner of pensions obliged him
on the slip in the case:
by"This
writing
claimant is now here and de¬
sires action on his claim for rerating.
Will you please see that case is briefed
at once and submitted?"
It was not only "briefed," Mr. Com¬
missioner, but it went to the board of
review tho same day. Two days later
the application for increase was grant¬
ami Talman's pension was made 830
ed,
a month, with the following reratings:
From date of discharge to March, 1873,
88a month; from March, 1873. to No¬
vember 17,1880,812 a month; from No¬
vember 17,1880,830 a month.
This meant some comfortable hun¬
dreds in a lump for buck money under
the rernting.
So much for Mr. Talman's wounded
heel.
Now, there is not the slightest doubt
in tbe world tbat Mr. Talman was
never entitled to any pension at all, for
the fact is on ofllcial record.
On February 19,1809, the surgeon ap¬
pointed to examine him reported that
"the wound is on the insideof the heel;
the disability is not permanent."
On March 11,1870, another surgeon
after another examination reported:
"There is no disability of
kind.
There is a good motion of theany
foot and
claimant can walk as well as he ever
could. He is a stout man and is not in¬
capacitated from manual labor. He is
entitled to no rating."
It should be bome in mind here that
this case, outrageous as it seems, Is on¬
ly one ot the many thousand cases as
bad, or still worse, that have never been
revealed until a congressional commit
tee sends for the papers.
