"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 are your
SELF
Then the senator is defending the
Democracy Of Mr.. Sherman" asked
Mr.. Sherman.
That is about it." said Mr. Tillman.
THAT is where 1 wanted to get you,"
responded Mr.. HILL
MAJORITY RULE.
Mr.. Hill turned his attention to Mr..
Tillman's statements as TO quitting the
Democratic party. The New York sem
ator said that the essential principle of
the Democratic party was its recogni-
ton Of the rule of the majority. The
South Carolina senator declares he will
go to the Chicago convention. Mr.. Hill
supposed, he said, that the sena tor,
like true blue Democrat, would abide
by the DEGREES of the convention
eff he goes there with any other idea"
he exclaimed, with ringing vehemence"'
che ought not to be admitted and he
will not be admitted"
Mr.. Tillman interrupted, this time
securing the permission of the chair
He said parties were voluntary 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 ma
jointly to take a goldbug policy. But
they would not have it If it was forced
upon them they would get out.
MORE THAN ONE IDEA,
Mr.. Hill shook his head at this re-
Spouse. 'FNo,55 said he, cit will not do
for my friend to give that as the senti-
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. It would be
blind folly for that great party &c split
on the financial question. There is
more in Democracy than the single
question of silver.
Mr.. Tillnnan, asked: Does not the
New York senator know that nova
days the president is party; that a
senator like himself has no more con-
sideration as to his patronage since
that man went into the White House
than any bootblack.
Mr.. Hill replied that the Democratic
party was not confined to patronages.
MIR. Hill went on to say, as Democrat
&c linen is being washed I'VE better
have 1t out" and he spoke of his asso-
Citations with the administration. 1t
was not true that he was its defender.
He said little as 20 the administration
except to reply to attacks as to bonds
and this was without comforting with
administration leaders. He differed
with the administration leaders. While
the ability Of Mr.. Carlisle, the
senator believed Mr.. Carlisle had made
a mistake, a very serious mistake, when
he failed to aid Senator Blackburn. who
was the Democratic caucus nominee
before the Kentucky legislature.
POPUIIST PEDDLERS.
Replying to a remark of Mr.. Allen,
Pop. Neb.) Mr. Hill asserted that the
Populfsts 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.
In answer to Mr.. Hills interrogatory
as TO what would keep him in the DEM
ocratic party Mr.. Tgllman said tersely,
sixteen to one, or bust"
In the course of another passage at
arms Mr.. Tillman announced that the
people needed a billion
I'VE are going TO have IT," said he.
"a mere trifie," said Mr.. Hill What
would you do with it?"
Build battleships and coast defenses'
replied Mr.. Tillman. Put the tramp to
work. set every wheel in motion and
make the country again prosperous and
happy"
MIR. Hill used this answer TO show the
depth to which the Democracy of South
Carolina had fallen. Mr.. Hill protes-
ted against the reckless attacks on the
president, and dragging in Of minor
pension vetOes merely TO express per-
sonal venom.
In my judgment. he is not a candi-
date for nomination" continued Mr..
Hill. 'SThe national convention will as
senfble in a few weeks. Let US prepare
ourselves against the common enemy in
stead of quarreling among ourselves"
Mr.. Hin closed with an apt quota
ton I'm essentials unity; in non-es-
sentials liberty, and in all things char
ity."
