art, of Nevada, rushed to his rescue
and asked permission to PROFOUND a.
question.
mo, no. said Mr. Hill 81 draw the
line at the senator from Nevada"
Mr. Tillman interrupted to say that
when a private citizen used another
funds it was called stealing. Now,
what right had the prestsGns to take
money raised for one purpose and use
it for another purpose? Perhaps the
New York senator can understand it,
but you can't get it into the head of a
farmer"
Il would despair, after the senator $
exhibition here" replied Mr.. Hill. ito
get anything into his head
Mr.. Hill went on to show that Mr..
TiIlman and Mr.. Sherman occupied
the same platform as to greenbacks,
adding that he would leave it to the
two senators to fight it out
BETWEEN THEMSELVES.
Mr.. TIllman again interrupted to re-
mark: From your view, Sherman is
a better Democrat than Cleveland, and
a better Democrat than you yourself. ;"
"Then the senator is defending the
Democracy of Mr.. Sherman" asked
Mr.. Hill.
That's about it, said Mr.. Tillman.
THAT is where I wanted to get you,"
responded Mr.. Hill.
Mr.. Hill turned his attention to Mr.
Tfllman's statement as to cutting the
Democratic party. The New YORK
senator said that the essential prin-
ciple of the Democratic party was it's
recognition of the rule of the majority.
The South Carolina senator declares
that he will go to the Chicago conVen-
ton. Mr.. Hill supposed, he said, that
the senator like true Democrat.
would abide by the DEGREES of the con-
vention. If he goes there with any
other idea he ought not to be admitted
and he will not be admitted.
Mr.. Tillman interrupted, this time Sc
curing the permission Of the chair. He
said parties were voluntarily associa-
tons Of individuals who thought alike.
They lasted only while the individuals
thought in common. The Democratic
party had
SPLIT ONCE BEFORE,
and in his judgment it was going to
split again
The New York senator wanted the
majority to take a gcldbug policy, but
they would not have it. If it was
forced them they would get out.
Mr.. Hill shook his head at this re-
Spouse. NO" said he, sit will not do
for my friend to give that as the judg
ment of the south. The Democracy of
the south is not going to that conven-
ton with one idea. The Democracy
has more than one idea. 1t would be
blind folly for that great party to split
on the financial question. There is
more in Democracy than the single
question of silver"
Mr. Tillman asked: Does not the
New York senator know that nova
days the
PRESIDENT IS THE PARTY,
that a senator like himself has no more
consideration . to patronage since
that man went into the White house
than any bootblack?"
Mr.. Hill replied that the Democratic
party was not confined to patronage.
Mr.. Hill went on to say that as Dem
ocraitic linen is being washed we had
better have it out, and he spoke of his
association with the administration. 1t
was not true that he was its defender.
He said little as to the admdnistra-
ton except to reply to attacks as to
bonds, and this was without conferr-
ing with administration leaders. He
differed with the administration lead
ers While admiring the ability of
Mr. Carlisle, the senator believed Mr.
\
serious mistake when he failed to aid
Senator Blackburn, who was the Dem
ocratic caucus nominee before the
Kentucky legislature.
Replying to- a remark of Mr.. Allen
pop, Neb.) Mr.. Hill asserted that the
Populists of Kentucky could have cleo
ted Blackburn, but there, as here, they
peddled out their votes first to one
party then to the other.
Mr.. Allen resented this insinuation.
"oR BUST"
''In answer to Mr.. Hills interroga-
tory as to what would keep him in the
Democratic party, Mr. Tilleman said
tersely, Sixteen to one or bust"
In the course of another passage at
arms, Mr. Tillman announced that the
people needed a billion dollars.
I'VE are going to have it," said he.
"a mere trif1e,' said Mr.. Hill. What
would you do with it?"
Build battleships and coast de-
lenses replied Mr.. Tiilman. Put the
tramp to work, set every wheel in mo-
ton and make the country again
prosperous and happy"
Mr. Hill used this answer TO show
the depth to which the Democracy of
South Carolina had fallen. He pro-
tested against the reckless attacks on
the president, the dragging in of mi
nor pension vetoes merely to express
personal venom.
IN my Judgment ne is not a candi-
date for denomination" continued Mr..
Hill. THE matte n will assemble in a
few weeks. Let us prepare ourselves
against the common enemy, instead of
quarreling among ourselves"
Mr. Hill closed with the quotation:
'In essentials, unity; in non-essentials
liberty; and In all things, charity"
AN AGREEMENT.
final vote on the navy appropriation
bill would be taken before adjournment
tomorrow
Mr.. Sherman secured the passage of
bill appropriating $4,000 for the ex-
penses of the Boring sea commission
soon to meet at San Francisco to de-
termine the amount of damages to be
paid for the seizure of Canadian seal
ers in the Bering sea.
Mr.. Butler Pop.) of North Carolina
presented q. bill making the Mexican
dollars and Japanese yen, each con-
tanning 371h grains of pure silver, and
the trade dollars, full legal tender dol
lars in the United States. In support
ing the bill Mr.. Butler declared that if
the federal government would Rt
make these silver coins legal tenders,
then the states had the power to so
recognize them. If congress did not
act, Mr.. Butler said he would advise
the state of North Carolina to exercise
its constitutional rights in this direc-
ton, and he hoped other states would
adopt the same course.
The naval appropriation bill was
then taken up, the question being on
the amendment of German, reducing
the number of hattleshins from four
