CONVENTION AFTERMATH.
SENATOR TILLMAN'S HOI SPEECH ON
NATIONAL ISSUES.

favorable Comment fr9m

TSpecial to News and Courier.

Especial to News and Courier.
Columbia, May p. Every one has
gone home delighted with the work
of the State convention. There has
never been such harmonious gath
ering. OF course those who are look
ing for Office, those who have settled
convictions, but mostly those Who
want to keep in the public eye had
something to say, but there was
precious little talking, absolutely no
feeling, and 1t was an ideal peace and
unity gathering. Every one seemed
to be in pretty good humor, and if
what was done was not pretty gener-
ally satisfactory no one took the
trouble to say 50.
There had been mutterings all dur
ing the week of opposition to the
proposed change in the pledge. The
committee, however, restricted it to
candidates for congress and the
United States Senate, and in that
way removed some possible objection
IN the measure. but all of the talk
about opposition faded away like a
dream. It was 80 sudden as to be
almost a shock. Senator Tlllman
read the reports of the committees
First, he read the proposed change
in the party pledge. 1t was adopted
without any one even asking what 1t
meant or how it changed the present
pledge. Then he read the proposed
plan of changing the number OF cam
paign meetings. He looked around
and some one suggested that a
change might be made IN the Ver-
biage. He readily consented and
took occasion to say that it was not
his report at all, but the report OF the
committee, to whom the entire mat
ter had been referred, and upon all
occasions he made it point to insist
that the reports we're those OF the
committee, and that he was merely a
member of the committee.
This morning Senator Tillman, in
talking said that he was much graft
fed with the work done, and, with
laugh, suggested that everything hac
gone through on schedule time. Pa
renthetically, it may be remarked that
Senator Tillman did not personally
favor the resolutions condemning the
course of Senator McLaurin. h

The Thornwell Orphansge, linton, S. C.
Good, kind friend: Many faces Of
dear little children look up unto you
today from this your home for the care
of the fatherless.
You are their helper, their benefac-
tor, their earthly all.
Without your help what would be-
come of two hundred little brothers
and sisters?
You can give but little, perhaps, but
think of it: Five dollars will provide
for a child, its board for month, or its
schooling for a year! Even dime will
give the child its three meals day.
Just now we need you. The time
has come when summer wants are null
tiplying, and even bread is scarce and
hard to get.
A little just now from each OF a
thousand friends, would mean a great
deal to these children.
It is a Joy to know that you will not
forget US. You never 80.
Gods blessing is your only reward
And is not that enough? Gods bless
ing and the grateful prayers of all this
multitude Of orphans.
Send your barrels of -four simply to
Thornwell Orphanage, Clinton, S c.
Send your gifts of money to VIM. +

In 1885 or g went to school to
that learned and excellent man, Rev.
Galloway at Head Springs. Some
of the boys had killed big red
headed lob cock. With due cere-
mony we buried it at the end of the
church. I delivered a funeral ora
ton; the boys were much moved by
my eloquence; Charley league
especially was deeply moved; his
eyes filed with tears (not crocodile
tears, but the genuine article). (HoW
I would like to see Charlie if still
alive.) Mr.. G. was standing just out
of sight, at the side of the church;
the last song sung he appeared on
the scene and led the orator up to
the licklog and administered to him
lashes 40 save one.
How I love to remember that old
church where my fathers worshipped.
l met my friend, R. A. Welch, to.
day andhad pleasant chat with him.
He is we'll and prosperous.
But enough for this time. l may
write you again. Yours, &c.,

At the reunion I found many from
South Carolina, but none from New
berry. I donned a Palmetto badge,
for l love the old land yet.
On our way from the reunion, l
having on Palmetto, j. V. Daven-
port, formerly of Laurens, now of
Dallas, approached me. He inter
ested my wife very much, as he knew
and admired her brother Col. Geo.
Strother; James was with him at
Charleston when he fred the signal
gun at Fort Sumter and at Boonsboro
where he fell mortally wounded.
As Davenport spoke of him his eyes
welled over with tears and his voice
choked. Said he was one of the
best, bravest, most generous and
s1nartest men he ever saw. For 2OO
miles he continued to talk of him and
her kinsfolk.
Last Sunday attended the Presby-

female voices. A volume of music
rolled through the arches as the large
congregation joined il the singing.
1 thought Of the difference between
that singing and the singing in the
old Head Spring church, led by
Thos. Chalmers, tie precentor, and
DR.. Leavell's grandfather, that noble
good man, DR.. A. W. Chalmers, sit

thought it would have been best to
have avoided The issue, but the reso
luton was not referred to the com
mittee of which he was chairman,
and b did not care to have anything
to say upon the question when the
report of the committee was filed
favoring the adoption of the resalu-
tions of condemnation.
The only set speech and the one
which stirred the boys up most was
that of Senator Tillman at the close
of the convention. 1t was done in
Tillman's own way and stirred up
things, as he usually does. Here is
an excellent stenographic report of
the after convention speech:
Mr.. President, Gentlemen Of the
Convention: 1t is very late and [ am
not like a good many of you who
have had little to do since we took
recess today, because I was engaged
from the time you adjourned as soon
as we could get together from din
ner continuously until the con7en-
tion reassembled. There was no
opportunity to get any supper, so l
am tired and really I have no desire
whatever to make any speech. l re-
cognize the fact that | am under
obligations to you as one of your
public servants to make reports when
occasion offers as to what is going
on in the national field. I will, there
fore, trespass for brief while on
your patience and present in the very
briefest way possible such ideas as
may occur to me on matters about
which you might like to hear.
We have passed through two cam
paigns, that of 1895 and that of
1900, in both of which we were sing
ularly defeated as a national party.
The campaign of 1895, following
the betrayal Of the Democracy by
the man whom we had elected Presl-
dent, found US in a condition Of de-
moralization and of impending dis
solution almost until that famous
convention at Chicago, which has
been considered by many as a new
Declaration of Independence, or,
rather, It's platform OF principles and
it's work was looked upon by the
Democratic masses as involving a re,
turn to the fundamental doctrines OF
the party. Ibis convention declared
it's purpose to stand by the common
people and the principles of the ia.
theirs. We were defeated by efforts
on the part of our opponents, the
Republicans, such as had never been
witnessed in the political history of
this country. 1t was my fortune
that year to be called upon to work
in the Northern States, and I made

speeches in Pennsylvania, in Oregon,
in Iowa, in Illinois and in Chicago.
I know whereof I speak when I tell
you that the feeling OF dread and
fear among the capitalists, the bank
ers, the corporations who constitute
the backbone of the Republican CO.
horts has never been surpassed in
the history of the organization. But
We we're defeated. Something like
$17, 100000 subscribed by these un-
lawful trusts went to defeat Mr..
Bryan.
In the last campaign we went into
the fight under conditions that we're
well-nigh hopeless. We had just
ended successful war brought on
by the Democracy against the pro-
test and wishes of the Republicans,
and the large amount of money
which was set afoat, S2O0,000,00O
of bonds, andthe tax levy increasing
the Government income to a fabu-
leus amount, the victories at Santi-
ago and other places in Cuba and of
Dewey at Manila, left the Democ-
racy with practically no chance to
win in the last fight, no matter what
candidate we had or what platform
we might have gotten. But We
fought bravely and, handicapped
though we were by the conditions
have mentioned polled 100000
votes-our opponents beating US
only by about million.
We are now brought face to face,
as 1 understand it, with this condi-
tion of affairs: The Republicans are
drunken with power. They are NOV
ing forward remorselessly with their
program of imperialism, by which it
is intended that we Americans, We
former colonies of Great Britain,
who threw off the British yoke be-
bause we did not believe colonists
ought to be governed from abroad
these Republicans, [ say, are ignor-
ing the principles of the Declaration
of Independence and the Constitu-
ton, and have set in motion machin-
cry to subject the Filipinos by force,
after having bought them like chat
tells in the market. They stand
arrayed today in solid phalsnx in-
tending to perpetuate the American
sway in the Philippine Islands with
the Stars and Stripes waving over
subjects, not citizens; over people
who have been treated with cruelty
such as there is no record of in the
history of humanity-all in the name
of Christianity and humanity and
liberty! They have organized there
