These utterances mean that Tillman
and lrby are not too much IN love
with Democracy and are ready to 90

nothing. lbe speeches from which
the quotations ere taken abound in
abuse of .he leaders of the national

against tariff revision, he would strike
at once of the cardiual principles Of
Democrscy-tariff for revenue only.

speeches of the Populist leaders.
There Tillman and Irby are already
