ATLANTA. Ga, Nov. 6-Senator Ben
iamin Tlllman of South Carolina, who
was here today on his way home from
Chicago. declared that Bryan would be
the nominee of the Democratic party IN
1900.
The battle has been the most heated
and hardest fought political contest in our
history. and the Democratic party has
never shown to better advantage, said
Senator Tillman. THE issues have been
clearly defined and bravely- sustained,
whole our great leader. Bryan, has COW
cred himself with glory and is the idol
of the Democratic masses"
t. what causes to you attribute Nc
Kinley's triumph"
There were sereval causes, all of them
making combination that it was m
possible TO overcome. In the first place,
the odlum attaching 10 the Democracy OF
Clevelandlsm and all that implies,
drove from US hundreds of thousands of
the of peace; the sO-called free trade
tar-n bill; the loss Of employment: all
these were charged TO the Democratic
party and the Democratic speakers and
tAe few Democratic newspapers which
reached the masses in the northern cities
were DowerleSS TO obliterate the impress
sion The Democratic party suffered, al
though II had repudiated both Cleveland
ana mis- policy.
UNBLUSHING FRAUD.
Then the unblushing use of money in
unll,11-ted quantities counted many thou
sands of votes. The campaign of the Re
Dublicans was conducted with great vigor
by large corps of WeIl-trained SDeake
many OF them men of national reDute
while the Democracy, without means re-
led upon volunteer speakers, ard these
could not cover the field as thoroughly as
their opponents.
"A third factor was the threat. open
or implied, by thousands of owners of
manufactures and work shops, that Bry-
ans election meant the closing down OF
work The army of idle men were prom
ised work il Mckinley should triumph.
The Republicans massed in the country
or agricultural districts were promised a
return Of good prices and prosperous times
under Republican tariff policy and the
restoration of confidence The national
alliance Of the south and west, though
not complete, has received an impetus
which cannot be stopped or prevented
The issue of financial reform and restora-
ton of the money of the constitution is
not dead and Will not down.
MADE A RIFT.
1--WE have broken the solid north. while
the south is practically solid The ty-
ranny of the federal judiciary and the
greed of the plutocTaIs will drive the
masses by the million TO our support in
the next great struggle. Jefferson lost
his first battle i'll 1886, but won in 1900
the Republican party was overwhelm-
ingly defeated in 1856. and Lincoln was
defeated for the senate in 1858, but he
WIS elected president in 1860. We WI
WI in 1900 Mckinley cannot give relief
or restore prosperity unless the law of
supply and demand. as 1t affects money,
has been replaced"
viii the policy of the party leaders

GOOD RADIANCE.
mo; they have a gold party to which
they belong, and are a good radiance.
There car be no step backward. The
southern people and the eastern Demo-
Gratis are separated by an impossible bar
rier- They are our taskmasterS and we
know it. We have turned to the west
and must look and work in that direction
If the Democrats had put up a gold plat
form we would not have carried a single
state The men who claimed to be the
gold Democrats voted for Mckinley al
most solidly. There may be a spasmodic
rise in prices and a resumption of busi-
ness activity. but it cannot last
