DastardIy Speech Of TiIIman

In political way, the most remaI kable
event OF the week is Senator Tillman's
Cleveland. Nothing more disgraceful has
occurred at Washington in a long time.
The South Carolina demsgoeue distin-
Ruished himself by calling the president a
"bull-headed and ssif-idolatrous man."
"besotted tyrant," and. what is far worse,
declared "millions of his couptrymen sus-
pect that q president can use his high office
was to the sale OF bonds, with the object
Of maintaining the gold reserve, and was
accompanied by remarks OF q like char
acter, evidently meant to irsinuate
that the president had lent himself, from
corrupt motives, to what Tillman calls the
schemes Of the 'gold ring" in New York.
Secretary Carlisle likewise came in for a
share of Tillman's abuse. The great Ken
tuckian was referred to as a "Judas," a
renegade" and moral coward. This
sert of talk disgusts everybody of good
sense and feeling. The course of the pres
ident. in financial as In other matt srs of a
public nature, Is at all times properly SUBJ
1ect to criticism, aimed at the measures
and not at the man. But to insinua'e or
suggest that he is dishonest is thing so
vile and atrocious that the people must
recoil from the calumny in disgust, Wha
ever may be Clevelaud's faults, there cam
not be the slightest reason to doubt his
patriotism or his integrity. No man
who ever filled the presidential
Office could in this respect bear a
more rigid scrutiny than Grover CIeve-
land. BY attacks of this sort, fellows like
Tillman do q vast amount OF mischief, not
by discrediting the persons whom they
abuse, but by disgusting good men with
public life. The tendency of such calum-
nies is to keep the hest and most capable
men from filing offices of high trust and
responsibility, since it is notorious that.
however pure their motives and honorable
their course of action, some blackgua,d d
will arise to impeach the one and blacken
the other.
Tillman's glaring ignorance of finance is
no less conspicuous than his vilely SANDER
GUS nature. His recklessly false assertions
regarding tho silver question are liable to
do much michief, among the class of
minds akin to his own. He professed to
believe in the existence of HdAmnable
scheme of robbery" which aims to destroy
silver as a money metal, and SO forth. he
declared, after the fashion of Debs, that
this country is fast drifting into govern
ment by injunction, in the interests Of
monopolies and corporations, and pro-
ceeded to denounce the supreme court of
the United States as corrupt. As a
natural conclusion to his loud dia.
tribe, the only Tillman prophesied
that some day "the millions of men' now
"tramping the highways, begging Bread"
would march to Washington with rifles in
their hands, ITO regain the liberties stolen
from them or which their representatives
