TILLMAN's SPEECH.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator TiIImari.
Populist. of South Carolina, smoke on
the pending silver bond bill in the senate
today. The senator said he would use
plain Anglo Saxon. the language OF COM
mon people. for he was one Of them. He
spoke bitterly Of the essay reading in
dulged in by senators. He referred to
the statement Of the senator from Ohio
(sherman), that the silver question had
been tl1rashed out
Yes, 1t has been thrashed out by sps--
ulators. but not by farmers. AS a far
mer he would thrash 1t again, taking up
the whole subject on a pitchfork. and
ready. is need be. to uncover the manure
likely to be found. The senator quoted
from Cleveland's response to the COM
mittee that notified him OF his nominal
tion last time. and declared there was
nothing in II which would lead one to
expect that the leader Of the Democratic
party would ignore the platform ana
treat with contempt the trusted lieuten-
ants whom the people had sent to the ma
tional capital to assist in shaping legis-
lation. His language would lead us to
expect the very reverse.
How many" he asked. "of those rea-
sonable expectations have been met?

and sycophants. who have orawled on
their knees for crumbs of patronage and
betrayed their constituents for offices IN
his gift
In the entire history OF this country,
the high office Of president has never
been so prostituted. and never has its
appointing power been so abused" Again
referring to the president: 'If he was
honest at the start. land I am willing to
grant that much) his associations with
Wall street and his connection with
wealthy men have debauched his con-
science and destroyed all sympathy with
the masses"
Further, in discussing the gold ques-
ton, he said: "Rothschild and his
American agents graciously condescend
to come to the help Of the United States
treasury in maintaining the gold which
has wrought the ruin. and only charges
a small commission Of $l0,O00,000 or so.
Great God That this proud government
the richest, most powerful on the globe
should have been brought to so low a
pass that a London Jew should have
been appointed its receiver and presumes
to patronize us. The responsibility of
providing revenue and looking after the
solvency of the treasury. which rests
with congress, has been usurped by the
president Why is he not impeached:-
During Tillman's bitter criticism Of the
president. he put down his notes and put
the senators and galleries in roars of
by telling how, as governor of
South Carolina, he had come here to
inaugurate the president: had stayed four
hours out in the snow and sleet. until he
was nearly frozen to death, to honor
this president.
And" concluded the senator. 'T ask
God to forgive me for doing It,"

Depew has returned to New York after
two days vacation during which he had
more fun than has fallen to his lot since
the Republican national convention OF
1Ss2, where he nominated Harrison. The
meeting OF the State Bar Association
brought Mr. Depew to Albany, and the
lecture he delivered last night has Gre
ated more gossip about Mr.. Depew from
a national standpoint than anything he
has done or said since his famous dinner
last May to all the Republican candidates
for president and all the Republican
bosses whom he could get together.
After his lecture he was taken to the
Fort Orange Club, and his merry friends
kept him out of bed until o'clock in

ate Mr.. Depew was accorded the privilege
Of the floor. In the assembly, on motion
Of Mr., O'Grady, the house took a recess,
and Mr. Depew was introduced to the
assembly, amid repeated calls for a
