TlLLMAN'S FIGURES.
He Says the People Are In No Humor
to be BamboozIed


1T is a sectional fight" said Senator
TiIlman to a New York Herald report
er; ''the South and West against the
East / suppose we may as we'll con-
cede Pennsylvania and all north of the
Potomac to the gold bugs. The battle
ground will be Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan, Wisconsin, and Iowa, and
suppose there viii be a fight in Mis-
souri, and Kentucky, though there
is no doubt of them, nor very much, [
think, of the others. Ohio will be
holly contested on account of State
pride, but the strong undercurrent in
the West is rapidly becoming an upper
current

full and enthusiastic. Many Republi-
cans there are for silver. We count on

south of the Potomac and west of
the Mississippi there are 231 electoral
votes, or seven more than "a majority.
the victory is already won. But there
are three elements in the silver party,
and only one on the gold side. If we
carry adj west of the Mississippi, /
think we shall carry all west of Penn

Il want you to say that New York
is not leading the Democratic column
this year. We discount her loss. We
give you this corner of the country,
and we will take the rest.
Il don't know what the silver men
win do in Chicago. The action of
Senator Teller in boiling the ST. Louis
convention will enthuse and key up
hundreds and thousands in the Re-
publican party. Unless we have a poll

lief, the indications are that we shall

what form will the trouble take?''
/ asked.
NOT RIPE FOR REVOLUTION.
1.-THE history of revolutionists shows
that they always break out in politics, -
replied Senator Tillman, and he added,
thoughtfulIy: Things are not ripe
for a revolution. If the gold standard
is maintained in the coming election,
we have no disposition to resist the
law. 1T is our plan to revolutionize
by ballots. If we get whipped, we will
stand it. The truth is you can't whip
the South much worse than it is whip
ped now"
"How about international bimetal-
lism?"
Nobody in the world knows better
than William c. Whitney that inteTna-
tiomal bimetallism is a humbug, sham
and an impossibility. IN the English
House of Commons in March, a resolu-
tion was introduced by Balfour, or one
of the leading bimetallists, looking to
a conference to estnolish the parity of
exchange The discussion on that
resolution showed that the English
government has no more idea of chang
ing it's standard than Mr.. Whitney has,
if he can help it. Pts an absurd and
hypocritical pretence on the part of
Mr.. Whitney. It's a political lie, which
will not be allowed to be told in Chi
cago.'

JUDGE CLARK FOR VICE-PRESI
DENT.

The unanimous adoption, by ris
ing vote of the following resolution by
the Democratic State convention was
a high and deserved compliment tC
Associate Justice Clark:
THE Democratic State conven-
ton of North Carolina recon-
mends the nomination of its dis
tinguished son, Walter Clark, AS
sociate Justice of the Supreme
Court of North Carolina,
as Vice-President of the
United States, and instructs the
delegation to present his name and
use all honorable means to secure
his nomination.
The name of Judge Clark will be
presented to the convention by Hon
Alfred Moore Waddell, of Wilmington
In all that gathering of distinguished
party leaders and orators of Nationa
reputation, there will not be one wht
is Col. Waddell's superior as grea
orator. He will make a speech tina
will rank with the finest specimens o
convention oratory known to this gen
eration. Col. Waddell's reputation a
an orator is known ito many delegate
who served with him when he was
member of the Federal Congress
North Carolina is most fortunate il
having Col. Waddell to present Thu
name of dts candidate before the Chi
cago convention.

"AIINERS ARE MERE SERFS. -

Columbus, O., June 26.-The commit
tee in charge of the local celebration of
the Fourth of July had arranged for
100 miners from the valley to march
in the parade in their mining outfits
and with their mining lamps in their
hats, but President Penna, of the Uni
ted Mine Workers of America, advised
them last evening not to do it. He
says that by doing so they would pro-
claim themselves beneficiaries of the
Declaration of Independence, whereas
they are mere serfs and would in that
way act a lie.

There is one true specific for diseases
arising from impure blood and a debil-
itated system, and that is Paine's cell
cry compound, so generally prescribed
by physicians. IT is probably the most
remarkable remedy that the scientific
research of this country has produced.
Prof. Edward r. Phelps, VI. D., LII. D.,
of Dartmouth College, first prescribed
what is now known THE world over
as Paine's celery compound, a positive
cure for dyspepsia, biliOusness, liver
complaint, neuralgia, rheumatism, all
nervous diseases and kidney troubles.
For the latter Paine's celery compound
has succeeded again and again where
everything else has failed.

THE STATE CONVENTION.

1t is the unanimous verdict that the
State Democratic convention, with
probably no exception, the most enbhu-

State capital. 1t has long been an Odd

Carolina goes into the field with tina
same esprit de corps and field action
that the convention has indicated
