COLUMBIA, S. c., April 15.-Governcr
Ttllman in an interview SAID :
81 despise Cleveland and his mug.
wuuhps. He is no better than the rank
est republican. He hiss destroyed the
democratic party. The south ard west
will be forced 10 unite and have a com
plete Reorganization of party lines. The
people who are afla of the negro and
other questions win have to cast aside
their tears on those scores and come to-
gether on the one line of Sighting the !,
money combination. Cleveland has been
working under the dicta,ion of the New
York bankers and bargaining with them
in the matter of the issue of bonds. He,
promised the banks If they would take
them there would be no more legislation
on the silver question by this congress.
Congress passed the seigniorage act
and he vetoed the bill, indicating plain
ly the nature of his bargain with the
bankers. The whole thing is such a
scheme of robbery that he ought to be
impeached for it.. 1t is shame anGa
disgrace. The idea Ct this great gov
eminent having to beg lot of shylocks'
assistance Is so outrageous that theIe.is
no language too strong in which to
characterize it. Cleveland is owned
body and soul by these scoundrels; he
secured his nomination at Chicago
through the influence of a subsidized
press, and what votes be lacked there
after exhausting such means he bought
with promises of patronage, which
promises have since been redeemed d; the
goods have been delivered Hi. at
tempt to browbcat and desauch The
senators and representatives was out
rageous in the extreme. If these cow
ardly congressman up there had any
appreciation of their duty TO their con-
stituents at home they would impeach
him. Consider the farce aud treason to
the interests of the masses of issuing
bonds under pretense of increasing
the geld reserve, when the same gold Is
paid In at one window and drawn out at
another with silver certificates. And
the same professions go on till the silver
certificates are exhausted and the peo-
pie have to pay the interest. ! think
The silver men of the country ought to
meet In convention at Memphis or st.
Louis ard organize fight 10 con,rolthe
next congress. Let the west and the
south cast aside all questions upon
which they now have any differe nee
and unite. 1t is fight between gold
and silver, or poverty against pros
perity. One more word as to Mr..
Cleveland. think it 10 most outrageous
his being dictated to and bought up by
these bondholders. 1t is debss,pg his
high cfice. He is abusing his power to
dicker with such people and barter
away the peoples blood, even upon the
pretext of financial relief.

that am for the peoples rights, but
there are many planks in the popnlist

into Africa we will teach those blood
sucking gold thieves Lesson in politics
such as they have not had since Jack
sons campaign against the banks. The
farmers Of the south and west will move
onward in a solid body and demand leg

the grinding poverty produced by 6-cent
cotton. and aO-cent. wheat.
