GOV. HILL AND FREE COINAGE

The atlanta Consultation, an ar
dent HILL paper, and the At1anto
Journal, an ardent anti HILL paper,
are having heated discussion over
whether or not the New York Sen
ator is in favor of the free coinage
of silver, the Constitution maintain
ing the affirmative and the, Journal
the negative ofthe proposition. W hen
the speech was delivered we read 1t
carefully and willie it seemed to
lean toward free coinage, we could
not say positively what Mr.. HILLS
position is. 1t may be that this
failure is due solely to our obtuse-
ness. He did declare for free coin
age, but did he declare for it upon
the ratio advocated by Mr.. VANCE,
Mr.. BLAND, and other silver advo-
Gates?
In showing why, in his opinion,
no free coinage bill should be pre-
sented by the Democrats to Re-
publican President, Governor HILL
said: "In conclusion, l have a
story to tell and suggestion to
offer. 1t is offered to any Western
or Southern friends who feel less
keenly than it is felt in the great
port of our foreign commerce that
the gold and silver question is a
world question, not only federal
or national question. Do not be
impatient with our conviction in
New York that every step towards
J free timetable coinage must be safe
and sure, no step backward, but
also no step forward that puts in
one hours jeopardy the peace and
prosperity Of your commercial cap
ital and so of your country at large,
for these are inseparable. My sug-

FOUR SHOT DOWN.
Bloody ARRAY in Kentucky Between
Whites and Negroes.

EDMONTON, Ky, March Ga bloody
fight took place at Clarks Crossroads be-
tween party of twelve wagoners, white,
on one side and eleven negro farm hands
on the other, in which four negroes were
killed and three or four wounded and two
of the wagoners seriously hurt.
The wagoners who haul lumber from
Wright's mill, in this county, TO Horse
Cave were on their way TO their homes at
this place. When near Maxey's distillery,
at Clsrk's Crossroads they met a negro
farm hand. In passing one of the wagon
ers struck bin with his whip, to which
the negro remarked that he would see him
again. The negro then went to the house
of Anderson, who employs large number
of negroes, and in company with ten
others, started for the distillery, where the
wagoners made a business of stopping.
When they arrived at the distillery all of
the wagoners were inside the house pur-
chasing whisky, except two. These the

time shot and killed four and wounded

Mr.. Pierce Tenn said that the demo-

Within the last three years twenty-eght
democratic state conventions In their plat

The republicans in 1888 had deceived the
people when they declared that they we're
in favor of the tree coinage of silver.
Now the democratic party proposed TO
keep faith with the people and perform
the pledge of free coinage.
Mr.. Bland said the free coinage question
was one which ought to be considered

cratic party got through explaining to the
people why it had left free coinage out Of
the platform OF 1888, and had appealed to
the people on the ground that it was op-
posed to free coinage, thereby justifying
its admin istration for four years. 1t was
now proposed TO give the lie to one OF its
pledges. In the North pledges TO the peo-
pie meant something, and the pledges of
the democrats in the North had changed
a great minority into q great majority.
How was that majority made up2 BY
accessions from the republican party, and
if those aecessions were lost it would be
because the democratic party had been
false to its pledges. The day of reckoning
would come upon this question. If free
coinage was established by democratic
votes the reform of the tariff was at an
end The people of the North could
stand taxation under unjust laws,
and would stand it, but they
were not yet ready to 60 into national
bankruptcy and pay 20 cents on the dol
lar. The bankruptcy would come for
those democrats who were trying to make
farmers alliance party out OF the demo-
cratic party. They would have to decide
between two things-farmers' alliance in
the South or democratic alliance in the
North. One of the two they must give up.
This question went deeper into politics
than anybody conceived. The organiza-
tion of this house had been directed
toward forcing this question upon the
country. He did not know which was
