Harris on Thursday and published In yesterday's Telegraph, It was il'.atad that Mr. Harris would make a full state ment of the case yoftenjay, and accord ingly a Telegmph repoiker’eallcvi on him at his office and obtained the following, beginning with Mr. Harris' letter of res ignation to Me. Clay: "Macon. Oa.. Sept. 10, 1894.—Hon. A. S. Clay. Chalrmnn State Democratic Ex ecutive Committee. Atlanta, Qa.—My Dear Sir: Please consider tills as my resignation from . the skate Democratic executive commJif.ee of which 1 have the honor to be a member from the State at large. "The ftnmedlate reason that prompts me to tender my realgnatlon la the ac tion bf the committee. Jointly with ithe o.ampaltgn coornnltltes on (tlhe Oth lr.ot„ when It refused the request tif Hen. Thomtta E. 'Whtson. chairman of the Poipul'l&t state executive committee, which request in substance was: Thai'. In oil those counities cl the state Where the Democrats had control of 'She boun ty government tint the Populist* be al lowed a representative cn the 'boards of eleotlon managers, and in those coun ties of the state where the Populists hnd conltrol of the county government the Democrats be allowed a representa tive on the boarda of election managers; Ifiat the Democratic executive commit tee recommend this and the Populists would d'o the same, etc. "You will remember that I urged that our committee ought to co-operate with the Populist committee m thts matter so as to insure a fair election and a fair Count in our eltCLlons; and I did thla without assuming or admitting that our election* had been unrutr In the mnt or would be unfair In the approaching oontedts. 'My tine of argument before the committee woe. that in the first place the request Bhould he granted be cause tt. was nlgWt, and in the second place. It was good policy to grant It. I urged that tf wus good pcitcy because We had un overwhelming mnjorlty in the stale ami could carry the elections by a mtiijortty ranging from 25,000 to 50,000: and, furthermore, there being u Break many good cttizeoB bf, Georgia who ait least had a suspicion that 6ome of our elections were not exactly fair, a Democratic vdotory.no nutter how over whelming, would never permanently settle any Issue In p'oWtlco till such safe guards were thrown around the coils o» to tree the result from the sem blance of uny such suspicion. "In 'Uhls position of mine, of all the members of the executive and campaign commiWtees whb wore present, none co incided save yourself and Mr. T. K. R. Cobb, and I was the only member who voted accordingly when the ma tter wus before ns in the shape of a motion. Therefore the policy *>1 the Democratic party, II meum rather of the executive commltlee and campaign committee, seems well fixed in thht regard; und, since my views of the manner In which the campaign should be conducted are so radically at variance with those of my brdthcr members, I feel that I can do nb good by remaining on the com mittee; in fact, that I would be a bin drance bather -than an aid. "Furthermore. I erttertatn views cm the flnanctnl question iu line with those of the Mhoun Telegraph and the At- ' lanta Journal, that is, the admlnlstra/- Won views. The Constitution ami oth er Democratic newstxroet® and our can didate for governor declare that: ‘No man can go upon the stump in the state of Georgia, and In the name of Democ racy oppose the free and unlimited coin age bf silver.’ Then, since It would be my dufty ns am executive committeeman to make some addresses In my dittrlot and elsewhere, and I have Intended to db so, and you Wad requested mo to do so, I would do more harm than good by oonse'erttlously speaking my convic tions. widen, *s I mid, are In line with these of the administration.

I wired Mr. Clay yesterday morning a3 'follows: “Is interview with you In tod ay's Telegraph concerning my resig nation, .correct ?” Tost night at 7:17 o'clock he sent me the following telegram: "Interviewtn- correct. Just reached here.

There ts not one word from him In today's Telegraph. Hence, on that account, und on acoouwt of the fact thait be has made public pjrt of my letter. I feel Justified tn tell ing the Whole truth about the matter and In publishing the letter In full that it may speak for Itself.

Tile first Intimation I hod 'that it was known In Atlanta was a telegram to me from the Populist paper Tuesday at 11:30 a. m., as foitowu: “RumoreB here that on account tic lion Democratic executive committee refusing division of poll managers, you as a member of the committee have resigned. Please wire facts Imane- dl'aitely, I replied to this telegram that they must see Mr. Olay about the affaire of the executive committee." And t continued to refuse to say anything about It, though the Atlanta Constitu tion requested a fuh statement from me Tuesday nigL'it, and liter I wus asked 'about It on all sides. I refused to balk because Mr. Olay waa denying In 'the newspapers thait he had received my resignation. He denied It to the DSrily Press reporter Tuesday morning. He denied It to the Constitution Tues- day night and to the Telegraph Tues- day night, so .these papers all eatd, while, as a matter of fact, he wrote me Tuesday morning Ohls letter being poxt- ,marked ok 12:39 In AUlintn.

Ho reviewed the Unauelal legislation of congress, tho votes on the silver question, wblcU personally were n disappointment to him, at he always believed In the free and unlimited coin age of both metals. On the tariff question lie spake at some length, as this Is tho district that Tom Watson would like to represent and tho l’opulists seeking to minimize the Importance of tariff reform.

It would lie a much more convenient method of Issuing currency nnd the notes would bo Just ns valuable ns those the Popu lists wanted tho government to Issue.
