SENATOR TlLLMAN'S PROGRAM.

An evening paper in Washington
publishes an article on the political
position Of Senator Tillman, in which
it says that since his speech in the
Senate, Senator Tillman Of South Caro-
lima has received numerous letters
from Democrats appealing to him to
state his position, otherwise his speech
in the Senate would be of great harm
to the party. In reply to letter from
Il friend in South Carolina, Senator
rillman writes as follows and puts
himself on record without a doubt:
Il have your letter Of February 5,
and appreciate very much your kind
words Of commendation. In order to
preserve the unity OF the! white Demo
cracy OF South Carolina we cannot act
on your suggestion not to send dele
gates to the national convention at
Chicago.
1--WE have already captured thn State
EDcmOcracy. We arc tho State Demo
cracy and we must go to Chicago q.
such, prepared to- bolt II .;2cd be and
ally ourselves with the free silver mcr
Of the West. 1t would be q fatal blum
dor not to send delegates to the ma
tional Democratic convention and
would only be putting it in the hands
of our goldbng enemies.
" If the rational convention does moi
adopt Il platform to suit us and put or
IL man above suspicion as to his loyalty
we can then leave the party, but not
before. The effort Of every true friend
of silver and financial reform should
be directed to having our State Demo
cratic convention composed solidly OF
men of their way OF thinking, so as tc
have it act as q unit"
