mouthings of this South Carolina ranter
but he warned them that unless they re.
pudiated Cleveland's administration they
would go before the country stultified.

Mr.. Tillman then read his resolution, az
follows:
I'VE denounce the administration OF
president Cleveland as un-Democratic and
tyrannical and as departure Of the prl11-
ctples which are cherished by all liberty
loving Americans. The vatoes he has used

pointive power has been used to subsialze
the press and 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 republic. We repudiate the
construction placed on the financial plank
Of the last Democratic national conven-
ton by President Cleveland and Secretary
Carlisle ais contrary to the plain meaning
Of English words and as being an act OF
bad faith deserving the severest censure.
The issue of bonds in time Of peace with
which to buy gold to re leem coin obltga-
lions payable in silver or gold at the OPP
ton Of the government and the use Of the
proceeds to defray the ordinary expenses
usurpation Of authority deserving i'm

Cheers and Kisses interpreted the read
ing and Mr.. Tillrnan said:;@ !5t3s'
Zone word more and I will relieve thesa
souls who have come here with tickets on
them of the disagreeable duty Of listening
to me-" Mr.. Tillman went on to say that
the Democracy now had the platform that
they wanted CHEERS and hisses.)
Mr. Tillman concluded here and great
cheer went up as he left the platform and
Senator Jones took the stand to speak.
His first sentence brought cheering. He
said he disagreed with the senator from
SOuLu SaiOllIld III Ills statement ludL ILLS
was sectional issue. He was a South erner,
but he loved the whole country and was
willing to lay down his life for it. (Wild
cheering) This question was not section
al, but involved every country. The De-
mocracy believed. as he did, in liberty, in
union. He believed that the whole people
should stand together.
Just then avid B. Hill mounted the
platform to speak for the substitute planks
and a. scene that approached in enthusi-
asm that Of last night when New York
cast her u votes for the minority report OF
the credentials ommittee began. Dele
gates stood on chairs and waved hats, fans
and handkerchefs. Mr.: Whitney rose
with: the rest and the sight Of his erect
figure brought many to their feet. The
galleries seemed to rise as man and the
waving Of hats and newspapers and every
thing at hand that could be made conspfc-
uous rose and fell all over the hall. The
attempts Of the. chair to still the tumult
were unavailable, and although most of
the delegates resumed their seats after
several minutes Of cheering, the galleries
would not be quiet and yelled and shouted
with hearty goodwill.
All this time the object of the demon
stration stood calm and cool facing his
friends. He showed no feel
ing In facial expression and glanced
ahead. Then gradually the tu-
Mr.. Hill began in slow and distinct tones,
saying that, following the course Of the
senator from South Carolina he would
Introduce himself by saying, II am Dem
ocrat: but not revolutionist." (Cheers.)
Without intending to especially reply to
the remarks Of the distinguished senator
from South Carolina, he would only say
that it was waste Of time for him to as
sumo that he was so ignorant as to not
know that it was South Carolina that in
1860 attempted to destroy the Union.
Hill was accorded a great ovation
when he closed.
