[Gov. Tillman of So. Carolina, who
carries the politics of his own State in
his vest pocket, was the leading figure at
the silver convention recently held at st
Louis. He made speech there which
has not been printed in this section, and
the HERALD has been asked to publish
il with comment, i'll order that the peo
pie may understand the drift of his argu
ments advanced for union Of the West
and South against New England. APP
pended is a liberal extract from his
speech, and comment will be found else
whcre-ED.
Those of you in this Western count y
who are our allies in everything, who
have been following the banner of New
England and those Eastern manuiactur
ing States in your efforts TO crush and
enslave the Southern people by your ad
herence to the Republican party those
of yo" who have been told to vote rs
you shot and have done it, simplywant
to say to you that am glad that day
light is at last dawning and that yor
realize, after 25 years, that we have q
community ofintercsts between the Soutl
and the West, and you are turning to Us
with longing eyes to come and help you
battle for your own interests, and undo
the wrong you have done to us.
The interest the farmers down there
have paid since '65 has amounted tt
from 10 to 100 pc. for what we have
bought on credit and vet we have stood
it, and we are not so deeply in debt now
as you are. Laughter ! tell YOU thai
we have been skinned by the tinancia
system and the tariff so long that w,
have got no skin left and have learned t.
live withoutit. Laughter and applause
1t does my soul good to know that you
withers are wrung, that your backs ar,
being barred until you have risen up anc

SHOULD OWNERS Be LIABLE?
Gen. Clark OIL II Proposed Tenement-
House Bill.

Gen. CLARK. Secretary Cf the Board OF
Health, was asked to-day what he thought
Of the proposed Central Labor Union bill
10 hold landlords respor sible for damages
incurred by those evictad from tenement
houses because Of the unhealthy condi-
ton of the latter.
Il believe" he rsplied. that such a
bill would he rathe4 n valuable addition
10 the operation of the present regulation.
Anything to compel the careless landlord
to keep his property In a sanitary con-
ditiun will he acceptable, but to MAKE q
law to compel the Health Department to
repair property condemned and then re-
imbursr the city by a lien on the prop
erty is nonsense of the worst description.
Il saw that suggested the other day.
The pr~Operty-Owners would jump at the
chance OF a law like that coming into ex-
vested with that power in 1856, when the
Department Was created. The result was
that we went ahead and repaired houses
AT IA cost of about So, 900, and not more
than $1,000 has ever been recovered.
I'VE virtually put private property in
good repair at the expense of the tax
payers in general. We nut liens on
property. but the owners always found
l]oopholes in the law through which to
escape and defeat the city.
There were too many p~roperty-owners
In this city TO take advantage of the
law. which really compelled the Health
Department to do what the present law
now forces them TO do, by rendering their
condemned property a source oil non
revenue

SLIGHT RALLY IN STOCKS.

Very Feverish.
Small Short Holders Frightened

The Wall street markets for securities
continue frverish and unsettled. The

The Eastern and Western trunk line
shares are most susceptible to bearish
