cheers for Hill tipped with hiss.
Tillman stood waiting for the noise
to subside. Then using his hand before
his mouth as speaking trumpet, he
cried out, You can just as well under
stand I am going to have my say If I
stand here till sundown." He was per-
mitted to go on with comparative ease
after the chairman threatened to clear
the galleries. He attacked Hill because
the senator from New York had refused
to make the first speech on the platform
and let him reply. Incidentally he said
Of Hill: "He despised the president of
the United States in 1892; since then he
has had cause to more than despise him."
and scored Hill for assuming role of
apologist for the administration.
But as Cleveland stands for gold," he
began, whereupon a hurrah for Cleve-
land was shouted which drew hearty
response from the galleries. Now, 1
want you all to listen." Tillman shouted.
Then he read a substitute resolution
which was as follows:
1--WE denounce this administration of
President Cleveland as un-Democratic
and tyrannical; as departure from the
principles which are cherished by all
liberty-loving Americans; the veto pow
er has been used to thwart the will of
the people as expressed by their repre-
sentatives in congress. The appointive

Seeks for Fame and Gets Roundly
Kissed
Senator Ben Tillman of South Caro-
lima mounted the stage to open the great
debate in behalf of free coinage. A
striking figure he was, as he faced the
audience; with no pretentions to dress,
shabbily coated, he instantly drew the
eyes of the 10000 people. 1t was face
never to be forgotten. On one lapel of
his coat he wore a Cuban flag, on the
other a pitchfork. One moment the
people held their breath as they gazed.
Then they broke forth. Cheers mingled
with Kisses. Richardson. with the aid
of an assistant sergeant-at-arms, quick
ly suppressed the demonstrations. Till
mans first sentences showed he had a
good. well modulated voice, but he
pitched the key so shrill that it grated
like file. He introduced himself to
them by saying he appeared before them
as he was. not as 'Iying newspapers"
had represented him to be. A round
of cheers from the pit greeted this an
nouncement. 1t was drowned in a storm
Of Kisses from the gallery, which was
increased to a perfect whirlwind of
sound.
Il come from state which was the
home of Jefferson" said Tillman, turn
ing defiantly and fiercely surveying the
vast congregation which was Kissing
Then with a contemptuous toss of his
head, he looked at the silver delegates
before him, his eye blazing, and said
with a sneer: There are only three
things that hiss-a goose, serpant and
man." Raising his head and address
ing the galleries he shouted that the men
who hissed South Carolina forget the
history of the revolution, when that
state kept alive the fire of liberty. This
provoked wild demonstration from the
silver men. South Carolina in 1860, he
said. lied the fight in the Democratic
party which disrupted it. Disruption"
he continued, while the galleries Kissed,
brought about war, and war emanci-
pated the black slaves. Now" he
added, swinging his arms through the
air above his head, I'VE are today fight
ing to emancipate the white slaves"
This time the silver men had their in
nings, but did not applaud very Justify
when he declared that with the condi-
ton reversed he was willing to- again
see the Democracy disrupted. Repeat
edly as he proceeded the galleries Kissed.
Several times the sergeant alarms
threatened to clear the galleries. The sill
yer men shouted approval when he de-
clared they were adopting a new declar-
alton of Internationally to or bust"
A storm of Kisses came again when he
repudiated the denial that this was
sectional contest. Il say it is a Sec
tional issue,' he cried, land it will pre-
vail" After these pyrotechnical ex-
pressions. characteristic of the man, he
drifted into statistics to show the bond

the Chicago strike, met with recognition.
When the plank expressing sympathy
with Cuba had been read the flag Of the
new republic, with blue and white stripes
and single star on a red field, was car
ried along the aisles. 1t did not arouse
the demonstration which the partisans
of Cuba hoped it would. Richardson
raped on the desk and cried Put down

1t was evidently tired convention. 1t
seemed impossible to stir the concourse
to enthusiasm. The platform was con-
cluded without marked applause.
MINORITY REPORT
Then the report of the minority was
read by j. H. Wade of Ohio, former
reading clerk of the house of representa-
tives.
Sixteen delegates composing the mi
nority of the committee on resolutions
find nine declarations in the report Of
the majority to which they cannot give
their assent. Some of those are wholly
unnecessary. Some are ill-considered

These dry figures gave the hostile gal
leries another opportunity to cry him
down. Thine, time" they shouted. This
aroused the senator to anger. He paced
the platform like an enraged lion. II

aloft, you are against us; there is not
paper in this city that is not in the power
of the money influence. They will not
give us fair show. They characterize
us as 'howling. deranged silver luna
ties" Many delegates came up the
aisles and stood at the foot of the stage
,tudying intently the features Of the re-
markable man before them.
Continuing, Tillman declared the
only way to avert a revolution would be
to select man whose record would fit
the platform. Soon Kissing began again
at some radical utterances, and the
South Carolinian said: -Four years ago
the New York senator was Kissed as /
am now. Where is New York now?"
he asked. Where is the New York
leader?1 and from the galleries came

fore Hill. He had not intended to say q
word, but could not allow the charge
of Tillman that this was not national
issue to pass unchallenged. Conserva-
tive silver men gave this statement an
earnest volley of applause.

to neither section, country nor cline. 1t

brilliant Frederick Williams of Massa-

After this emphatic reputation OF
Tillman's remarks, Jones left the plat
form.

| then, with a smile, he bowed acknowl-
edgments to the shouting, gesticulating
crowd.

were on chairs. They were given with
will. When at last order was partially
restored, Hill began calmly, but with a
voice that readily reached the galleries
SENATOR HILLS SPEECH
Senator Hill said:
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
Conventions: 1 don't know that it is nee
essary that should reply to the senator
from South Carolina (Senator Tillman),
hnd 1 trust that in any reply may make
I shall not fail to accord to him my pro-
foundest respect. 1 would say at the
outset that l am a Democrat, but am
not revolutionist. I will say further
that no matter what the provocation, you
cannot drive me out of the Democratic
party Without intending to specially
reply to the remarks of the distinguished
senator from South Carolina, 1 will only
say that it was waste of time upon his
part to assume that we were so ignorant
as not to know that it was his state that
attempted to break up the Democratic
party in 1860. (Cheers.)
But that party has survived the at
tempts of every section of the country
to divide, to distract 1t; it lives to day
and I hope it will long survive. My
mission here today is to unite, not to
divide; to build up, not to destroy; cloud

that I speak to convention which as
now constituted probably does not agree
with the views of the state that espe-
cially represent upon this occasion But
I know that notwithstanding the at
tack that has been made upon that
state. you will hear me for my cause.
New York makes no apology to South
Carolina for her resolution. We get our
Democracy from our fathers. We do
not need to learn it from those whom my
friend represents.
Need I defend New York? No, it is
not necessary. She defends herself
Need defend the attacks made upon her
and her citizens of wealth, men of intel
ligence and character? No, it Is not
necessary. Need I remind this Demo-
cratic nation that it is in the great state
of New York and in it's great city where

situated? But it is that great city that

publican majority When other cities

Gibraltar of Democracy. cloud ap-
plause and cries of Good. good.D
The question which this convention is
to decide is which is the best position
to take at this time upon the financial
question. In q word the question pre-
sented is between international bimetal-
ism and local bimetallism.
If there be gold monometallists, they
are not represented either in majority
or minority report therefore start out
with this proposition: That the Demo-
cratic party stands today in favor Of
gold and silver as the money of the
country. We stand in favor of the prop
osition of single standard either of
gold or silver, but we differ as to the
means to bring about the result. Those

ment'
The entire reading of the resolution
was fiercely hissed. Tillman closed with
a warning to the delegates that they
must unite the jealous elements of the
silver forces or victory for the Democ-
racy will be impossible. He pledged
the solid south to any good straight sill
yer candidate. The galleries set up a
great shout for Hill
TILLMAN REPUDIATED
The commanding figure of Jones of
Arkansas mounted the platform. He
held out his hands for silence. The noise
died away before his strong presence.
He apologized for his appearance be-

ity that if such free coinage shall fail
to effect such parity within one year
from its enactment by law. such coinage
shall thereupon be suspended.
The gold people rose and cheered, but
after the outbreaks yesterday these ef-
forts were faint. The endorsement of
the Democratic administration, which
Hill has made losing fight for in the
committee on resolutions brought out
yell from the galleries. Several New
York delegates stood and waved their
hats, but Hill, Whitney and Flower were
not among them.
