TILLMAN'S TwADDLE.
The Senator to Present "A Denuncia-
ton of Cleveland.


Chicago, July 8.-When the report of the
committee on resolutions is made to the
convention tomorrow a minority report
will be also presented indorsing the finan-
cial policy of the Cleveland administration
to which Senator Tillman of South Caro-
lima will offer an amendment and address
the convention upon it for fifty minutes.
Senator Tillman's amendment is in these
words: I'VE denounce the administration
of President Cleveland as un-democratic
and tyrannical, and as a departure from
those principles which are cherished by all
liberty loving Americans.
THE veto power has been used to thwart
the will of the people as expressed by their
representatives in congress.
"The appointive power has been used to
substitute the press, to debauch congress
and to overawe and control citizens in the
free exercise of their constitutional rights
as voters.
"a plutocratic despotism is thus sought
to be established on the ruins of the re-
public.
1--WE repudiate the construction placed
on the financial plank of the last national
democratic platform by President Cleve-
land and Secretary Carlisle as contrary
to the plain meaning of the English words
and as being an act of bad faith and de-
serving the severest censure.
1.-The issue of bonds in a time of peace
with which to buy gold to redeem coin OBJ
legations payable in silver or gold at the
option Of the government and the use of
the proceeds to defray the ordinary ex-
penses of the government are both unlaw-
full and usurpations of authority desery-
ing impeachment.

How the SiIverite Majority Was Pad
ded by the Ousting Process.

Chicago. ILL.,, July s.--The committee on
credentials did not adjourn until o'clock
this morning. The South Dakota contest

Just before adjournment motion was en-
tered to reconsider the Michigan case with
o view to referring it to a subcommittee

committee adjourned to meet at the con-
Vention hall at 10 o'clock.
The results accomplished by the commit
tee previous to its action in the South
Dakota case We're as follows: 1t unseated
the four delegates-at-large and four dis
trict delegates in Michigan. all gold men,
thus converting the gold majority in that
delegation into a silver majority and I'M
der the unit rule, making the entire Is
votes of Michigan solid for silver instead
of gold.
1t unseated the Nebraska gold men and
seated the Bryan silver delegates. These
changes, If ratified by the convention, as
there was no doubt they would be, it Is I'M
derstood, would give the silver men the
requisite two-thirds vote.

Decided Yet.

=
Decided Yet.
Chicago, July s.-The New York delegar
ton held conference this morning to
consider the situation in the light of yes
terday's developments and agree on a
plan of action. The decision reached
was to remain in the convention for the
present and abide by the will of the ma
jority. so far as to-day's proceedings were
concerned at least. Tammany will also
support the nominee. There was almost
a full attendance.
What the delegation will do tomorrow
or the next day If the convention lasts
that long, Is another question.
The candidate question was not con-
sidered. In view of eSe fact that the plat
form had not yet been adopted and in the
absence Of Senator Hill, definite action
as to remaining In the convention when
candidates were being voted for was de-
ferred until this evening. 1t was said to
be the sense of those present however
that New York should leave the hall and
take no further part in the convention
after the free silver platform is adopted
Ex-Secretary Whitney addressed the
meeting and said that while he did not
ask the gentlemen present to adopt his
ideas, he believed the best course to pur-
sue was to act as delegates until the plat
form was adopted. He advised against
any theatrical exhibition, and said Il
would be best for the interests of the
gold men to remain in their seats in the
convention hall, but TO take no part in
the proceedings. The question, he said,
had been carefully considered by promi-
nent gold members Of the party and they
all agreed that this was the best course
to adopt He had talked with Senator
Hill on this question, he said and the
senator had expressed himself in favor
of it,

SENATOR HILL AND SILVER.
A Letter Which He Wrote in 1898
TrOtted Out Again.

Chicago, July s-The following letter
written by United States Senator Hill to
the Atlanta Constitution on July 10. 1893,
on the issue for the campaign Of 1896 is
being quietly circulated and may be read
in the convention:
"As to the repeal of the Sherman law
I have always been opposed TO it. It
should be abandoned by general consent.
My views were partly expressed in my
recent Tammany letter, which you have
undoubtedly seen. Personally, / should
prefer not to repeal the law until an ac-
ceptable substitute was provided in or
der to render more probable the adoption
Of such substitute, and not because / ap-
prove at all of the Sherman SILVER law
But from a party point Of view the wisest
course IS unconditional repeal. The cOun-
try expects and will be found fairly wen
united in favor of it. Therefore, It is
unwise. while agreeing upon the general
proposition, to waste our time in agree
ing upon substitute pending the repeal

oANOvAs ANSWERS a CRITICISM.
He Asserts That Spain VIII over

Madrid, July 9.-In the Chamber of Dep
uties yesterday Prime Minister Canovas,
replying to a criticism Of the govern
ments policy made by Senior Sllveta, the
leader of the dissident conservatives, de-
clared that the real aim of the Cuban
revolution was the independence of the
island and not autonomy. Spain, he said

stacles I'm her way. Cuba did not possess
the element necessary TO maintain her in
dependence, and If separated from Spain
would fall a prey to another nation.

ment to the address in reply to the speech
from the throne, urging that Spain Join

A democratic Paper.

Chicago and Illinois was fair and
impartial journalistic champ u. Tn 8
week he will probably have it. Hanna
thought that he had outwitted MIR.

when he induced Victor Lawson to
refuse III. Hearst oof Gees far page in
the Record. But Mr.. Hearst is not a
man to be thrown down. Having Of
fered Mr.. Lawson $4,000 for page
in the Record to be devoted to Bryan
and silver from now until the election
and having been refused Mi. Heart
Immediately began preparations to
start paper of bis own with not only
one page devoted to the Democratic
cause, but eight. Mr.. Hearst's agent
is Will Abbott. | saw MIR. ABBOTT
this afternoon. He told me that he
would probable issue an announce
ment late tonight or sometime to-
morrow of the forthcoming publica-
ton. Mr.. Abbott thinks the paper
will come out Wednesday.
If the paper appears don't doubt
for one minute that Bryan will win.
1t will be the weight in the trembling
scale which will make Hanna and
Mckinley hit the ceiling SO hard that
they won't know what struck them.

Labor Crucihed.

If the single gold standard can be
forced upon South America and Asia
as it has been since 1873 forced on
North America and Europe, gold must
inevitably appreciate TO at least four
times its present absurd value, or to
put it otherwise commodities must de.

and labor all the world over be crucifed
as it never was crucified before in days
of medieval serfdom or even chattel
