COLUMBIA, S. c., April s.-While thu
eyes of all the people of the Ulsited
States are upon this state In conse.
queRce of the recent alleged insurrec-
ton in Darlington, Gov. 'Iillman comes
to the front with the suggestion of an
upheavai in national politics. While
the Associated Press correspondent was
at the executive mansion today the
governor read letter he had
received from Western POpulst, in
which the writer said that the only
thing he did not admire about the gov
ernor's political course so far was that
he did not nave the moral courage to
come sqnarely out and call himself a
Populist. The governor then called at
tenti0n to the fact that many of the
Northern and Western papers were
speaking of him as the POpuIist gov.
ernor. Then, after little deliDera-
ton. he said:
eyes, they call me PopuIist. will
tell them that | am the truest repre-
sentative Of Jetfersonian Democracy in
American politics today. Let me tell
You, don't see anything ahead now
but for the Southern Democrats to COM
bIne their forces with the Western Pop
ulists and go into the next national
campaign on new party lines. The
Northeastern Democrats and Repub.
lieans are now together. 1t Is a COM
blnatlOn of the mOneyed interests"
The governor then, turning suddenly
and in somewhat excited and very
fOrcible manner, said:
Il despise Cleveland and his mug
wumps. He is no better than the rank
est Republican. He has destroyed the
Democratic party. The South and West
will be forced to unite aud have a COM
plete reorganization of party lines. The
people 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 fight
ing the money combination. Cleveland
has been working under the dictation
of the New York bankers. and bargain
ing with them in the matter of the issu-
ing of bonds. He promised the banks
i
no more legislation OH the silver ques-'
the seigniorage act. and ne vetoed the
bill. indicating plainly the na7
tuTe 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 a shame and a
disgrace. The idea of this great gov
ernment having to beg lot of shylecks,
assistance is so outrageous that there is
no language too strong in which to
characterize it. Cleveland is owned body
and soul by these ScouhdrelS. He secured
his nomination at Chicago through the
Influence OF subsidized press
aud what votes he lacked there. after
exhaustiigfsuch means, he bought with
promises of patronage, which promises
have since been redeemed; the goods
have heen delivered. His attemptGtO

Consider the farce and treason to the
interests of the masses of issuing b6IfdS

well, governor, what is your idea of
what ought to De uone?" was asked.
The governor thought for an iu-
slant. and then said:
well, Phi tell you. l think that the
silver men of the country ought to
meet in convention at Memphis or st.
Louis. and organize fight to control
the next congress. Let the West
and South cast aside all ques-
tiOns upon which they now

think that it is most outrageous, his
being dictated to and bought up by
those bOndholders. 1t is debasing his
high Office. He is abusing his power to
dicker with such people and barter
away the peoples blood, even upon the
preteXt of financial relief.
The newspapers which are snarling

lesson in politics such as they have
