Mr.. Chandler said that after this record
he Thoughts the Senator from South Garoliaa
could better engage the tines of his pitch

cause certainly il was the President OF the
Senator from South Carolina
Mr. TillrnanI protest t.
Mr.. Chandler would not be interrupted,
but Mr.. Tillman broke In with, II insist,
Mr.. President, on putting myself straight

Mr.. Tilltnan went on to sa that ne went

Mr.. ChaBdler-oh, Mr. President, pro-
test against that. / protest against the
Senator from South Carolina talking about

to Mr.. Chandler.

cf the late President Of the Senator from
South Carolina. More laughter and ;,p-
plause)
Mr. T1Ilman We'll, we went to Chicago
knowing what he was going to do We
voted against him every time but Ie was
nominated, and we had now here else to
go Qaughterl, and we did not desire to
go back on the result We went home and
voted for him. We were always consist
emily opposed to him.
Mr. Tillman suggested to Mr.. Chandler
that he switch some u the Democrats w ho
had followed and who still follow Cieve-
land instead of him ,TiIlman), fswho was
such fool as TO have voted for him.

Democratic President There was not
a single Republican against it, Later
in his speech Mr.. Chandler referred to
the three factions of the Democratic party,
whicl Mr.. Tiitnan promptly corrected by
stating that there We're four amid great
laughter.
Ar. Chandler argued against the amend
Inent that it would take from the inn
migrant the very money he needs when lie
comes TO these shores to make his home
comfortable. Mr.. Chandler said that he
was III favor Of restricting immigration
end putting all safeguards arounds it, but
lie saw no meritin the amendment Of Mr..
Tillman. II replied to the taunts of Mr.
Tillnan about the Republicans being afraid
to vote for this amendment although it was
protection to American labor by retort-
ing that the Southern States had gotten
protection in cotton ties. etc.
Mr.. Tillman wanted to know specifically
