what you call Democracy And ID that

maiaed quietly In my seat and seen him
confer time and again with Republi.
cans. NoE VIC are tho engineers and
We are In charge ofthe Democratic train
and We must guido it safely into the

has arisen and we must set here and
now and see tho train safely through.
We mCst protect the party interest from

Senator Appelt interrupted to ask
Senator Tillmsn if he thought the com
mittee had any right to amend the
pledge provided in the party oonstitu-
tion.
Senator Tillmsn said: 81 am not dis
cussing that pledge resolution. L aD
discussing the important substitute
which has just been offered and which
csrries the discussion into a wider
field. / want to say here and now thst
McLGuTin's friends have two means of
reGrsss. This year when things start,
cd out VIC were told that we were go
ing To have peace and harmony for
one summer al least. But "peace and
| harmony" won't como wien there are
sueSks and thieves aud traitors going
around and hiring Hsssisns and dis
tributing god and buying up newspa
pers. | AN fully aware Of what | am
saying, and know whereof | speak"
Mr.. Appclt: Senator Tillmsn, l
can't understand what you meau.
know nothing cf all this. | am a friend
Of Senator MoLsurin and L sm hero to
say so.'
Senator Tilnan Cunning upon Mr.
AppelD-l kuew that you belonged to
| him heart and soul.
Mr.. Appeit very plainly declared that
nc had always been very warm per
sonal friend and supporter Of Mr.. Nc
Laurin and that be had been equally as
warm supporter of Senator rillman
end had supported his as Loyalty as
anyone else, aGd he did not care to
inluSn Tlilmsa's motives or have the
senator impugn his.
Senator TIlimRu remarked that Mr..
Appelt must have thought that he
cap fit him, for he had said nothi ng
concerning him. Referring again to
McLaurins proprietorship OF Mr.. Ap-
pelt, Senator riilmau said: "Oh, it is
understood that you have been My
Dear Appelt' to him for many years.
Mr.. Appelt-Yes, to you as we'll as
to McLaurin.
There was bit more Of cross firing
between Tlllmsn and Appelt aud Till
man continued:
But the issue is not as to men: in.
stead 1t Is one of Republicsnlsm and
Republicauism Of the most 0annsble
kind. He said that if McL,urin had
come squarely out he would have had
some respect for him, even now claim
ing to be Democrat, he goes to Char
lotte and abuses Democracy by the
very name. Even the Republican pa
pers Of the country said that the dos
uInes that he advocated were pure
X publican doctrines. His friends are
going up and down the State crying
these doc Lriues. Nj Il ,urin is bould to
the Democratic party by his pledge;
bouud TO 10 20 or bust and oil that if
you will. What l want now is for you
to pass this resolution and let ali Dsmo-
Gratis ~ forth labeled, SO that they may
be known 10 all Senator Tillman
here referred Indirectly to remarks
made carrier by Mr.. LaFltte, having
understood him to say that he had re
puCIaeod the 16 10 l PLANK.
Mr.. Latte explained that he had
misund d-Is.ood and explained himself
fully on the poiut and disolaimed that
he repudlaLed Bryan Democracy aud
sssef cd that what he had SAID WAS
preceded Dy statement that IF he
we're sound money Democrat" he
you'd do so and so.
Senator Tiilmsn then said that a
nan sent 10 congress ~ the Demo
UralJ parry should represent and not
nlsISplosent the party. Another RS
dress lLat McLsurin had would be for
him a-d ell his friends 10 use all their
etfOr,s, legitimate and iliegltimate, TO
secure the election of commercial Dem
oCrsts t. the mex. State convention. 1t
vas Tor the people to be heard, and he
tlcd his faith TO the pcopls. If the con-
venuon, perchance, could not be kept
true to Democracy, then the people
themselves could spesk at the polls
IL November and rectlfy the wrong.
Dc. ID al said thaG this committee, he
though, had 40 right to pass the reso-
luton aud Senator MoLaurin would
pay 10 attention to II, 30 what was
the use to waste time.
Senator Til.mlo-CertaiG we do

of the resolution, but the other half he

Mr.. Bloase said that he was willing
to condemn tho course of Senator Mo.
Launn in the senate, but was not will
ling to v1te for the resolution request
ing his resignation, as the committee
had no right to do so, as he viewed it.
He moved to strike out the words ask
ing fol McLaurin's resignation.
Mr. Cunningham moved to table this
proposition and thiJ was done. Only
three seemed TO vote for the division of
the resolution.
Mr.. Applet removed his motion to
table the whole Richards resolutin
and DR.. Smith seconded the resolution.
Senator Tillman demauded the aye
and nay vote upon the question and
wanted to settle the whole thing here
and now.
As tho vote was being taken Mr..
Glenn arose when his name was called
and gave the following as his reason
for not voting II did not vote for this
