TILLMAN AT PROVIDENCE.
Says the South VIII Not Send Any
Troops to Fight the Fill
iniuOS.

PROVIDENCE, R. l., Sept. 4.-The sec
ond meeting of the New England Bimetal-
lie League at Crescent park this afternoon
was very largely attended and representa-
tive Democrats from all the New England
states occupied the platform.
General A. J. Warner, of Marietta, O.,
was introduced as the "oldest warrior in
the silver cause In the country" He ar
gued that the silver question was con-
siderably larger than the one incident Of
16 to 1. The silver question at the bot
supply, not one of color or specific grav-
ity. He referred to the alleged corruption
of the last presidential election and de-
clared that the laboring people furnished
the money by which they themselves were
corrupted by allowing few to amass
great fortunes which were used to wage
Resolutions declaring for free silver,
against militarism, and urging the nomi-
nation of w. j. Bryan for president were
Senator BENJAMIN R. Tillman, of South
Carolina, was then introduced and his ad-
dress was punctuated with cheers through
out. He stated that the Spanish war was
worth all it cost II it has proved moth
Ing else than that the South will fight for
the stars and stripes as eagerly as the
North. He declared that unless the policy
of the government Is changed soon, the re-
public is doomed and will become a gov
ernment of oppression Of the many by the
few. He praised New England for what
it had done for the country. but called at
tention to the fact that there were people
enough South and West of the Potomac
and the Mississippi to elect a president
without the aid of New England.
He said that while he believed, and al
ways would. that the negro is not the
| equal of the white man, still he believed in
giving him his legal rights, barring the
| political side. He said the negroes did not
know enough to vote: and in South Caro-

disfranchising them until they can read

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES stock company in THE
Charity Ball." S:15 p. m.
oRPHEUM-vaudeville. sl5 and s:i5.
1.-THE Charity Bali was well staged and,
in the main, well acted at the Auditorium
last night. and as it is a play that possess
es particular attractions for the public, its
run for the remainder of the week should
formance had a few of the bitches expect
ed at first performance. but only sueh as
are usually eliminated in the repetitions.
The audience was large and good natured,
bers of the Woodward company, nearly all
of whom appeared in very interesting char
acters in this pretty play.
Miss Remarks Ann Cruger was a well
poised and sympathetic impersonation. Mr..
Granger's John Van Buren, was exceed
ingly stiff and uninteresting except In the
midnight scene following the ball where
he did some good acting. 1t is a little late
to be surprised by the members OF the
Woodward company. but there were two
distinct surprises last night.at least 10
Phyllis Lee by Miss Macauley. who has
hitherto appeared rather false and inef-
fective in emotional work she was genu-
prise was the improvement In Miss Dunn
acting, especially in the third act, where
she had a bit of serious work to do. MI
Green gave another of his interesting char
acterizations as Dick Van Buren, denoting
the nervous tension of the Wall street op-
orator with artistic fidelity. MIR. Greene
should however, overcome his peculiar
mannerism in reading He starts his SEN
tences on a high pitch and in explosive
tones. He is always distinct, which Is
self of opportunities for effective modula-
ton. A very artistic sketch. that of
Belts, the Organist,' was given by Mr.
Enos. Mr.. Davis made his usual hit as
Alex Robinson. and Mr.. Fulton made an
acceptable Cruger. The comedy of Miss
Berkeley as Mrs. De Puyster and Mr.
Beresford as Judge Knox. was a genuine
treat These characters have rarely been
played so we'll on the local stage, and they
have frequently been made much less sat
isfactory. Miss Winona Bridges gave an
appropriate representation of Mrs. Van
