Z. X. TuLLMAN.
eastern Democrats and the Republi-
cans are now together. It is a com
blnation Of The moneyed interests
The Governor then turning sudden
" and III Il somewhat excited and
very emphatic manner, said: II des-
pise Cleveland and his Mugwumps.
He Is no better than the rankest Re
publican. He has destroyed the De
mUcratic party. The South and West
will be forced now to unite and hay e
Il complete reOl ganlzatlOn of party
lines. The people who are afraid OF
the negro and Other questions will
have to cast aside tt cir fears on these
scores and come together on the one
line Of fighting the money cOmbina
ton. Cleveland has been working
under the dictatiou of the New \ Ork
bankers and bargaining With them
III the matter of the issue of bonds.
He promised the banks II they
would take them there would be no
more legislation on the silver question
10y this Congress. Congress passed
the seIgnlOrage act and he vetoed the
bill, Indicating plainly the nature Of
his bargain with the bankers. The
" hole thing is such scheme of rob
berry that he ought to be impeached
for 1t. ltIs shame and a disgrace.
The idea OF this great government
having to beg Il lot OF Shyiocks for
assistance is so outrageous that there
Is not any language too strong IN
which TO characterize it. Cleveland
IS owned body and soul by these
scouudreis. He secured his nomi-
nation at Chicago through the in
hucnce Of IA subsidized press, and
what votes he lacked there after eX-
hasatiug such means he bought with
promises Of patr0na ge, which prOmI-
sts have been delivered. Ills at
tempt to brOw-beat and debauch the
Senators and Representatives was
outrageous IN the extreme. If those
cowardly Congressman up there had
any appreciation Of their duty to
their constituency 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 reserves when the same gold
Is paid in at one window and drawn
out at the another with silver certifi-
Gates, and the same process can go
on till the SILVER certificates are eX-
hausted and the people have to pay
the Interest,"
well Governor, what is your idea
of what ought to be dOneW was ask
ed. The Governor thought for an
instant and then said: well, I'll
tell you: | think that the silver men
of this country ought to meet in con-
vention at Memphis or St. Louis and
organize a fight to control the next
congress. Let the west and the
South cast aside all questions upon
which they now have any differences
and get together. 1t is a fight be
! tween SOlu anu SILVER VI poverty dllu
! prosperity. One more word as to Mr.
| Cleveland. | think that it is mos1
: damnable and outrageous, his being
dictated to and bought up by thost
| bondhoIders. 1t is debaslng his Office
He is abusing his power to dickel
with such people and barter away
| the peoples blood even upon the
pretext of financial relief.
The newspapers which are snar
ling and swapping at my heels as be
ing a PopuIist are the paid hireiing:
Of his bosses. l am Populist in tn,
sense that | am for the people.
rights, but there are many plank!
in the Populist platform which | dc
not endorse. If the silver Congress:
men will issue a call for a silver con
vention, and carry the war int
Africa, we will teach those blood
sucking gold thieves lesson in poll
ties such as they have not had sine,
Jackson's campaign against tn
banks. The farmers In the Soutl
and West will move on Washington
in a solid body and demand legisla
ton that will give them relief iron

cents cotton and 3p-cents wheat.
