COLUMBIA, S. c., April l5.-Governor
Tillman in an interview said:
81 despise Cleveland and his mug
wumps. He is no better than the rank
est republican. He has destroyed the
democratic party. TIE south and west
will be forced to unite and have com
plete reorganiz ation 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 to-
gether on the one line of fighting the
money combination. Cleveland bias been
working under the dictation 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
disgrace. The idea of this gre-t gov
eminent having to beg 4 lot of shylocks'
assistance is so outrageous that there 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 he lacked there
after exhausting such means he bought
with promises of patronage, which
promises have since been redeemed the
goods have been delivered. His at
tempt to browbcat and delauch 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 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 certificates. And
the same professions 60 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 and organize fight to control the
next congress. Let the west and the
south cast aside all questions upon
which they now have any difference
and unite. 1t is a fight between gold
and silver, or poverty against pros.
perity. One more word as to Mr..
Cleveland. think it is most outrageous
! his being dictated to and bought up by
these bondholders. 1t is debaslng his
high office. He is abusing his power TO
sicker with such people and barter
away the peoples blood, even upon the
pretext of financial relief

bosses. am populist in the sense
that | am for the peoples rights, but
there are many planks in the populis
platform which do not indorse. If the
silver congressman will issue call fol
