Augusta, Ga., March 29.?Today I called 01
Senator Ben Tillman at bis new home nea
Trenton and obtained from him his views 01
the action of the recent -peace and unity
convention of the Forty," and on the ronsil
tulional convention questions of note. II
requested me to furnish copies of ins state
lut-nt to tlie various leading dailies.
NO GLUTTON FOR THE OOMPItOMISB, ASYWA1
Ex-Governor Tillman, the recognized leade
ol the Reform party, spoke as follows:
' It appears to me that the action of the con
vention tends rather to aggravate than ti
soothe the situailou. The lailure to adopt a
a part of the scrieme of pacification the condi
lions agreed upon by the conference held, ot
February 20. while accepting the idea of giv
ing half to each faction, opens the whole ques
1 ion, and will, I tear, destroy in a large inea*
ure the chances of having the conventtoi
elected without a struggle between the fac
tions. Tho>e conditions are vital and I lo
one, would never consent to any such agree
ment. and in speaking thus, I desire to recal

to suggest treachery to the people, aud iti
willingness to make terms with theenemle
of the Reform movement, which were unlai

advocate an equal division as far us pos?ibh
