Columbia, S. c., April S.-While the
eyes of all the people of the United
States are on this state, in consequence
Of the recent alleged instruction in
Darlington, Governor TiIiman comes to
the front with the suggestion of an
upheaval in national politics.
While the correspondent was at the
executive mansion today, the governor
read a letter he had received from a
western Populist, in which the writer
said what he did not admire about the
governors course, so far, was that he
did not have the moral courage to
come squarely out and call himself a
Popuhst.
The governor called attention to the
fact that many of the northern and
western papers were speaking of him
as the Populist governor, and after a
! little elaboration he said:
Yes. they call me a Populist, but I
will tell them 1 am the true represent
| ative of Jeffersonian Democracy, and
| in the lead in American politics today.
1 Let me tell you, 1 don't see anything
ahead now but for the southern Dem
locrats to combine their forces with the
western Popuhsts and go into the next
national campaign on new party lines.
| The northeastern Democrats and Re
Ipublicans are now together 1t is a
combination of money interests"
The governor then, turning suddenly
and in a somewhat excited and forci-
BILE manner, said:
81 Despise Cleveland
81 despise Cleveland and his mug
wumps. He is no better than the rank
lest Republican. He has destroyed the
democratic party. The south and west
will be forced to unite and have a COM
plete reorganization of party lines. The
lpeople who are afraid of the negro and
other questions will have to cast aside
their fears on those scores and come
together on the one line of fighting
the money combine. Cleveland has
been working under the dictatiOn of the
New York bankers, and bargaining
with them in the issue of bonds. He
iprOmiSed the banks if they would take
them there would be no more legisla-
ton on the silver question by this con-
greSs. Congress passed the seignior-
age act and he vetoed the BILL indi-
eating plainly the nature of his bar
gain with the bankers.
THE whole thing is such a scheme
Of robbery that he ought TO be i'm
peached for it 1t is shame and a
, disgrace. The idea of this great gov
eminent having TO beg lot of Shylocks
assistance is so outrageous that there
characterize it.
IF Cleveland is owned body and soul
by these scoundrels, he secured his
nomination at Chicago through the in
f1uence of a subsidized press, and with
the votes he lacked there, after ex-
hausting such means, he bought with
promises of patronage, which promises
have been since redeemed the goods
. have been delivered. His attempt to
brOwbeat and debauch the senators and
= representa- tives was outrageous in the
: extreme. If these cowardly congress-
men up there had any appreciation Of
: tFoir dlrv to their constituents at home
: they would impeach him.
Farce and treason"
n Consider the farce and treason to
: the interests of the masses of issuing
bonds under a pretense of increasing
the gold reserve when the same gold
is paid in at one window and drawn
out at another with silver certifica ties.
d And the same procession will go on
until the silver certificates are ex-
lh1Ested and the people have to pay the
g interest
o "Well, governor, what's your idea
|. of what ought to be done ?"
, The governor thought for an instant,
and said:
'eWen. I'll tell you. I think the sill
n yer men of the country ought to meet
r at convention at Memphis and organ
s ize a fight to control the next Con
le gress. Let the west and the south cast

If now have any differences and get to-

II silver or poverty against prosperity
v One more word as to Mr.. Cleveland |
y think it is most outrageous his being
