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
insurrection in Darlington, Gov
ernor Tillman comes to the front
with the suggestion Of an upheaval
in national politics. While the As
ISOLATED Press correspondent was
at the executive mansion to-day the
governor read q. letter he received
from a Western Populist, in which
the writer said that what he did not
admire about the governors course
80 far Was that he did not have the
moral courage to come equarely
out and call himself a Populist.
The governor called attention to
the fact many Of the Northern and
Western papers were speaking of
him as the Populist governor. Then
after little elaboration he said !:
Eyes, they call me a Populist; but
l tell them I am q true representa-
tive of Jeffersonian Democracy in
the lead in American politics to-
day. Let me tell you, don't see
anything ahead now but for the
Southern Democrats to combine
their forces with the Western Pop
ulists and go into the next national
campaign on new party lines. The
Northeastern democrats and repub-
licans are now together. lis COM
bination of the moneyed interests. !"
He HATES CLEVELAND.
The governor then, turning sud-
denly, and in a somewhat excited
and very forcible manner, said /:
II despise Cleveland and his mug
wumps. He is no better than the
rankest Republican. He has de-
stroyed the Democratic party. The
South and West will be forced to
unite and have a complete reorgan-
ization of party lines. The people
who are all 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. Cleve.
land has been working under the
dictation of the New York bankers
and bargaining with them in 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, indi-
eating plainly the nature Of his bar
gain with the bankers. The whole
thing is such scheme of robbery
that he ought to be impeached for
it. It is a shame and a disgrace.
The idea of this great government
having to beg lot of shylocks' as
sistance is so outrageous that there
is no language too strong in which
to characterize it. If Cleveland is
owned body and soul by these
scoundrels, be secured his nomina-
ton at Chicago through the influ-
ence of subsidized press, and with
the votes. he lacked thereafter, ex-
hausting such means, he bought
with promises of patronage, which
promises have been since redeemed
and the goods have been delivered.
His attempt to browbeat and de-
bauch the senator's and representa-
tives was outrageous in the extreme.
If these cowardly congressman up
there had any appreciation of their
duty to their constituents at home,
they would impeach him.
"Consider the farce and treason
to the interests of the masses of is
suing bonds under the pretense of
increasing the gold reserve, when
the same gold lie paid in at one win
dow and drawn out at another with
silver certificates. And the same
will go on till the silver
certificates are exhausted and the
people have to pay the interest"
well, governor, what's your idea
Of what ought to be done7"
SILVER MEN MUST UNITE.
The governor thought for an in
slant, and then said:
swell, I'll tell you, l think the
silver men of the country ought to
meet in convention at Memphis and
organize fight to control the next
congress. Let the West and South
cast aside all questions upon which
hey now have any differences and
ret together. It is a fight between
,old and silver, or poverty against
prosperity. One more word IS to
Mr. Cleveland. I think it is most
outrageous his being dictated to
md bought up by those bondhold-
,rs. It is debasing to his high of.
ice. He is abusing his power to
ticker with such people and barter
away the peoples blood, even upon
he pretext of financial relief.
"The newspapers which are snarl-
ng and swapping at my heels as
