Senator Tilnan turning upon Mr.

understood him to ssy that he bad re-

misunderstood and explained himself
fully on the point and disclaimed that
he repudiated Bryan Democracy and
asserted that what he had said Was
preceded by statement that IF he
we're q sound money Democrat" he
would Do so and so.
Sanator Tillman. then said that a
