eighteen years. The Office belonged Z
the people not to any man.
The Governor next said he supposed
the candidates for the Senate must dis
cuss national issues. He would simply
take 8 birds eye view of the situation
There were only Two big questions the
tariff and hnan:e. He wouldn't toucf
on the tariff to day and would discuss
finances to some extent. lie jumped
into the question by showing the great
contraction of the money OF the coun
try. liz 1865, be said, there was 50 .OOO,
OO0OOO of money in circulation; now
there is only 81. 100000. That wa:
TIE reason the poor farmers OF the
country were not getting a reward fol
their labor. He charged all this tc
Wall street. Shylocks, backed by Lom
bard street. London. These Shylocks
had caused his contraction by putting
the issue pGer in national banks. The
people wereontinually getting poorer
and all the 'ealth Of the country is iE
the hands o a few thousand million
aires.
The Govelor jumped on the nationa.
bank quesbn and defended green
backs. He Kplained the difference be-
tween them, Money sharks said green
backs weT' fat money. That fiat
money, hoover, had whipped the
South in theate war. Purchased Con
gressmen ad Senator's yelled Fiat
money" becase they had been bought.
The speak then began the discus
sion of theIlver question. He said
gold and sFer had been on parity
since the day of Abraham and ought
to be now. Hhe Democratic platform
adopted at Gcago had said they were
equal, but Oveland hadn't carried out
the plank. leyeland was a confessed
perlurer irresponsible for the present
deplorable edition of the Democratic
party. BE carged Cleveland and Car
Isle with hols-pocus game in issuing
$50, 100000 | bonds to replenish the
gold reserveWhich is again down to
SIS, 100000. Ie charged a lot Of thlev-
ing and rotery in Washington, but
said some da the people will get to-
gether and ERE will be big shaking
up. Qaught.)
BE attack( Cleveland as an old bag
of beef whouae could not find words
to describe. Ie said John Sherman
the peoples e.my, was now the trusted
advisor Of Cleland, who has betrayed
every trust. he country is in its pres.
ent condition arough the treachery OF
a Democratic resident.
The Govern reviewed in clear
manner the .monetization of silver
and the bad edition of the country.
He said therese millions of starving
workingmea. Money sharks, he said,
have grown outrageous in their
treatment anaalk as to wish a stand
ing army to kp few starving men
off the grass. lie alluded to Coxy and
his ragged meand said poor Coxy had
had his heaGracked. There might
not be any Coltes in the South, but
the people he! sympathize with the
demands Of lair.
Resuming scussion of the silver
question. the pVernor said the people

The fight. he sid, must be Tor Iree
silver and nore ,reenbacks: Inc GoV-

get together and make fight for liberty
and bread. He onclrded by telling a
story of big John Jones a0d his OK, a
storv about an o1's tail being tied
thorplI the dashboard of vehicle.
The Governor said if sent to the Senate
he wouli promise Dot to be bri5ed and
1ot to sell out. He would chunk ROCKS
for the peoples Interest as long as ne
could use his tongre and would 90 all
be could.
Just as the Governor was concluding,
some man in the audience remarked
hat Tillman would not get TO tne
Senate to chunk rocEs.
Turning toward the speaker ano
waving his hand, the Governor salo
hat sixty i've thousand white men mac
elected him to his office and would seno

SENATOR BUTLER SPEAKS.
At the conclusion of Gov. Tillman's
,neech he was heartily cheered and the
,and played. AS the last note OF mu' u
lie died away there was cry lot bue.
ar who was then introduced oy the
chairman. He SAID:
"I'm mighty glad to see you. l am
yla6 to see you IN q good humor' u
lad that Governor Tillman was IN a
GOOD humor. I shall meet him with
he same respectful bearing. The
Governor says he has been accused OF
,sv;nc a bitter tongue. Well, a fish
gomsn can WELD bitter tongue, but
+ requires courage to speak to an in
and well Informed audience
ike this before me.
eI have proposition to make to the
Governor. if he will agree to have a
;eparste ballot box at each voting pre-
,inct in which the people, l mean the
white people, in the primary ~ Septepi'
,er NAV register their choice for Sen

people whether he or | should repre-
sent them in the Senate? l Will aoloe
oy it." (Cheers.)
"rhe Governor says that the Senate
doesn't belong to me; l didn't ask TO &C
here. I did not ask for the privilege
IF accepting the volume OF abuse
which the Republicans hurled upon me
when I was fighting for my seat. Men
who rode by me in camp and olVoua'
called on me for what seemed a for
lorn hope, and would not refuse, be
cause | felt it was my duty. l Woult
not 60 through that experience agall
for any Office.
sIf we are to judge Of the Governor
IN the Senate by the speech he na'
made, what a spectacle be would be
driving an OK cart with the OK tail II
the dashboard; flinging rocks from the
mountain top. What could he accom-
plish in the Senate making such 8 Verl
table spectacle of himself?
