such overwhelming majorities ?
For four years, as Executive,
fought and abused by corpora
lions and banks and their hire
ling newspapers, why did my
people send me to the senate by
a vote of 131 out of a total of 100
in the General Assembly Dur
ing these four years the state
advanced in material growth and
increase of taxable values more
rapidly than in any previous
period of its history. 1t spent a
half million dollars in the cree
ton and equipment of two of the
largest colleges for industrial,
technical and normal training in
the South-one for each sex.
And the Constitutional Conven-
ton, with which I had a great
deal to do, fixed constitutional
taxes so as to double the free
school fund; the saloons have
been banished from the state,
while three-fourths of the people
if not more, are firm supporters
of the new method of handling
the liquor traffic. These facts,
which are history, cannot be
sneezed at nor obliterated. An
archists don't write such history.
l have never shrunk from the
lashings of newspaper scribblers
in the arena of state politics, and
1 will not begin to do so in the
broader field to which my com
mission from the people has
transferred me. If it is to be the
fate of this great Republic to
sink to the level of Rome when
the Pr8torian guards were wont
to put the Emperorship up to the
highest bidder; if congress is to
become or remain the cowardly
tool or purchasable agent of the
wealthy; if the Federal judiciary
are to undermine and destroy the
Constitution, as foretold by JEFF.
ferson; if our liberties are to be
lost through supine ignorance
and venality, 1, as sentinel or
the watch tower, holding a sac
red trust, cannot be charged with
having assisted my country to its
degradation by giving a note o.
warning. B. r. TILLMAN.

treat criticisms with silence. L
break that rule now for a pur-
pose, and that is to challenge
those who have found so much
to condemn in my recent speech
in the Senate to trial before the
jury of their readers, in which I
can have at least show of JUS
tice. The New York Times edi-
torially terms me "a filthy ba-
boom" the New York Evening
Post "a political Anarchist" the
New York World "a blathers-
kite" the Philadelphia Record
calls me 1.-THE chieftain of the
Anarchists" and the ST. Paul
Globe says: "This fellow brings
to the Senate the unsavory rec
ord he made in his state, a char
acter tattooed with dishonesty"
These are a few of the parlia-
mentary and elegant phrases en-
ployed by the polite and refined
editors of some of the leading
newspapers as applied to myself.
They have not read my speech,
they dare not publish it in full,
and, basing their criticisms upon
a few garbled extracts in which
1 used strong language to ex-
press indignation and contempt,
they ask the people of the country
to render a verdict against me as
a coarse, brutal, ignorant black
guard.
All the words and phrases
which occur in the speech to
which they take exception do
not exceed a dozen. They Meth
er add to nor take from the ar
guments and facts as presented.
Not a single one of them is un-
parliamentary, and frequently,
in the same Senate, language as
violent, as coarse and as brutal
has been uttered in the past by a
dozen men whose names are
written high in our country's
history.
If my language was unparlia-
mentary and indecent, why did
no senator call me to order If
the charges were untrue, why
has no senator answered them,
and why do my newspaper crit
les not even attempt to answer
them ? Is it supplementary
and indecent to tell the truth I?
Are we sunk to that low estate
that falsehood and treachery and
official dishonesty cannot be men
toned without calling down an
avalanche of abuse and SANDER ?
What other senators have whis-
pered among themselves 1 have
spoken aloud and in plain words.
What a majority of the people OF
the country have thought and
felt I have uttered.
This is the sum of my offend
ling, and the hireling editors anC
reporters who now degrade the
so-called freedom of the press tt
so despicable a level may fattel
themselves that they contro
public opinion, but the thous
ands of letters that have poured
in on me from every quarter o
the Union, mostly from th'
North, and from men engaged IL
every pursuit in life, have giver
me assurance that the scales are
falling from the eyes of th'
people and that the truth, brave
ly told, has sweet and whole
some sound. The American
people as a whole, the "grea
common people" love the trutl
and they love their country
They despise traitors and thieves
and towards. 1t is large mas
to move, but the leaven is a
work and the issue joined, ant
the result will be known on tn
day of election.

didate for lieutenant governor, has ten
dered his resignation to the state COM
mittee, and the vacancy caused BY the
withdrawal of Mr.. Guggenheim has
been filed by the appointment of Hon.
Jared l.. Brush, who was the nominee

succeed himself is only a matter of
simple justice, in view of his graceful

in the gubernatorial race.

THE GOLD FIELDS OF UTAH.
Tneir grew T,vyrib4.stso.,

To the diversity Of its mineral re-
sources does Utah particularly attribute
its coming greatness. Within a dis
tance of 40 miles from Salt Lake City.
in the district known as Camp Floyd,
the Mercur camp is making great
strides toward fame. 1t is the only
rival of Cripple Creek in the west, and
while its ore bodies are different in
character from those of Cripple Creek,
the ore area is so extensive in dimen-
sion that the future of the camp is not
problematical but assured. The Mer-
cur mine, control in which was re-
Gently bonded for 81, 200, 600, is the min
ing marvel of the age. 1t has been pay
ing dividends on the basis of $500 OOOO
per year. Recent development has
uncovered the ore body in the neighbor-
ing hills for a distance of over eight
miles, and indications point to one of
the richest and most extensive gold
fields the world has yet seen. To reach
this camp. take the Rio Grande West
ern railway to Salt Lake City.
Very unlike the Mercur is the Marys-
vile district. $50 miles south of Salt
Lake City on the line of the Rio Grande
Western railway, where high-grade,
free milling gold ore was recently nn-
covered. In addition to the Mercur and
Marysvale camps the gold and silver
camp of Tintic district, and Bingham,
as well as the smaller camps in the
Henry and La Sal mountains. Deep
Creek and Dugway, the encouraging
placers on the Green, Grand and Colo
RADIO rivers, all located on the line of the
r. G. W. Ry., are attracting much at
tention. There is not shadow of
doubt but that Utah at the present time
presents magnificent field for specula-
