no policy except the policy of the sena-

no policy except the policy of the sena-
tor from Ohio (Sherman.)
IF Grover Cleveland, he shouted,
ever s,oes before the people again he
can bear on his brow the eulogy of the
senator from Ohio (Mr. Sherman) who
declared on the floor of this chamber
that the president had
SIMPLY DONE HIS DUTY.
They are linked together. Grover Cleve-
land, John Sherman and John Car
Isle are affinities."
THE question is will the people be
so dannably foolish as to trust them
again?''
Proceeding, he argued with vehem-
ence that taxes to pay for the bonds
would be wrung from the hands of the
toiling masses. Nothing would be paid
by the plutocrats who sat in their of
fees and clipped coupons. Mr. Till
man referred to the Ohio senator
Sherman and his associates in their
contemplate work"
3 Mr. Sherman sat across the aisle ap-
pafently urmoyed.
Perhaps you can bamboozle the
people, he said, addressing Mr.. Sher-
man, the fools are not all dead yet,
but they are getting mighty restless
AT one point Mr.. Tillman directed a
direct question to Mr.. Sherman con-
corning; the interests of the laboring
people.
"WiIl the senator answer me that?"
asked Mr.. Tfllman, pausing in antici-
patton of a response by Mr.. Sherman.
LIKE A TOMBSTONE.
But the latter looked directly at the
South Carolina senator and remained
in his seat without answering.
MI ,Fillman next took up Secretary
Herbert, who had made a speech at
Cleveland to some bankers, and made
running comments while he read
speech recently made by the secretary
before the Cleveland chamber of COM
merce.
IF the people want this Cleveland
Carlisle-Sherman rule, all right let
them have it; let them fry But 1 tell
you 1 can see the end coming said
there is God in heaven and
A RECKONING MUST COME.
We need a publication of public life.
We need a constitutional convention
to declare the peoples rights and to tie
the hands of thieves who are robbing
them. You are damming UP the wa
ters; but wait till there is full head
on. You people are going to see some
next four years.
Then, turning again to Mr. Hill, Mr..
Tllman said:
And now for the benefit of the SEN
ator from New York, whom 1 love, the
senator whose motto is I am a Dem
ocrat,' l will say I am a Democrat,
Too;' a Democrat after Jefferson and
jackson. He pirates of sound money; [
cry hard money he is a. Democrat for
national banks, 1 for the national gov
eminent. But the senator added that
the Democracy could not win in the
coming election. If the farmers could
be fooled into voting that ticket any
longer, let them do it.
TAnd what will l dor the senator
asked of himself, and then answered:
81 expect to go to Chicago as a dele
gate 1 expect to try to get my party
TO
THROW OFF ITS ROTTENNESS.
IF we have to bid good bye to New
York and Tammany, we shed a few
tears BUT if they succeed in buying
q few more deIegates-as L understand
they did in Michigan the other day-so
as to enable them to endorse Grover
Cleveland and sound money then l ann
going to take my hat and bid the SEN
ator from New York and all like him
long farewell. Where I'll go, [ don't
know. 1 cannot go to Populism. Pop
ulism is only an explosion of wrath.
The Populists tried too much and spat-
tered themselves on the wall
The senator declared that the, De-
mocracy was
ON ITS FINAL TRIAL.
If it did not pronounce for silver ait
Chicago it was gone forever
I'VE may not beat you this year" he
concluded, dramatically; 1T would be
marvellous if a disorganized mass held
together by an idea could defeat at the
polls a Well-disciplined, compact or
ganization backed by money. But so
help me God, we will serve notice on
you tina. our slogan is America for
Americans; to hell with Britain and her
tories
eff we don't defeat you this year we
will serve notice that we will in 1900"
With these words Mr.. Tillman threw
his arms up into the air with a gesture
as if TO say, Il am done" and walked
over and took his seat When the SEN
ate had
RECLAIMED ITS BREATH,
Mr.. Fill who had been taking notes,
took the floor.
At the outset. Mr. Hill characterized
Mr.. Tillman's speech as a remarkable
performance" and expressed doubt as
to whether he did not err in making
any response at all to anything that
had been said. He, however, assured
the senate that he should confine him
self to some Of the gratuitous, uncaIed-
for and undignified remarks Of his
friend who loved him.
"The senator has denied here today
that he was a Populist," Mr.. Hill then
proceeded. Let me say to him THAT
what he said leads on the straight road
to Populism, or-after pause-to some
other place" Naughter).
Mr. Hill congratulated Mr.. Tillman,
however, on his assurance that he
would not join the Populist party. AS
to what the Democratic party
WOULD DO AT CHICAGO,
Mr.. Hill declined to make prediction,
in view of the rapidity with which
events were at present making.
but 1 say to the senator from South
Carolina that if he loves Jefferson and
Jackson and still represents his peo-
pie, he will have no reason to leave the
party he has served so well in the
past,
AS to Mr. Tillman's statement that
he Child no longer spoke for New York,
he admitted. smilingly, that that might
be true He recalled the fact that
previous to 1893, New York had re-
manned in the Democratic column for
eight years. But" said he, in 1892,
state after state instructed for Grover
Cleveland and free silver over the pro-
test of the regular Democracy of New
York. You did not get free silver" he
added sarcastically, but you
GOT GROVER CLEVELAND.
Are you satisfied?' Gaughterl
