governor in 1890. Tillman was an uncouth demagogue who expressed his opposition to everything favored by the conservatives and further irritating Haskell was that while both men lost the function of an eye, Haskell courageously continued to serve in the Confederate army while Tillman dodged service. Failing to beat Tillman at the state Democratic convention, Haskell led a straightout Democratic ticket in the general election and even appealed for votes from blacks and Republicans. Many in the state refused to vote for anyone other than the official Democratic candidate out of fear of giving Republicans another chance at state government and thus the Haskell ticket fared poorly. Until his death on April 13, 1910, Haskell was serving as the vice president of National Loan & Exchange Bank of Columbia. He was buried in Columbia at Elmwood Cemetery.
