Senator Tillman passed through Washington hist Tuesday on his way to the mooting of tho Democratic National Committoo at Chicago. Ho said ho did not know what was tho parp?se of tho mooting or what subjects would como up tor consid eration. South Carolina, ho said, was still for Bryan and would send that sort of a dologation to tho next Demo? eratic National Convention. On tho subject of tho general political situation as respects tho Domooratio party, ho said that ho was fully aware that a determined effort was being made by "some gold hugs and traitors, assisted hy Repub licans, and probably with Mark lianna's money," to drop free silver from tho D?mocratie platform. When the convention meets, he said, there would probably be a very determined light made to accomplish this ; hut he was confident that it could not succeed. Ho said ho thought tho Demo eratic Convention would be safely under tho control of Bryan people and that the platform of '90 would bo readopted with such additions as more recent developments required. Speaking ot the Philippine situa tion ho said that it looked to him as if the administration had entirely underestimated tho dilliculties of the campaign and that after the big sac rifico of life and money we were about in thc same position We were at the outbreak of hostilities. Dearness Cannot ho Cured by local applications, as they cannot renell tho diseased portion of tho oar. Thoro is only ono way to euro deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by au inflamed con dition of tho mucous lining of tho eusta chian tube. When this tube gets inflamed you havo a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is tho result, and unless tho inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will bo destroyed forovor. Nino cases out of ton are caused hy catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condi tion of tho mucous surfaces.

"I favored tho Bacon resolution, which promised tho Filipinos inde pendence as soon as a stable govern ment could bo established. I boliovo, further, that our nation should pro tect the Filipino Republic from out sido intorforenec while it works out its own destination ; in other words, I believe we should treat the Fili pinos ns wo have promised to treat tho Cubans, and ns wo havo treated the people of Moxico and tho pooplo of South and Contral America. Monarchies aro founded upon force, but Republics are founded upon con sent. "The declaration of independence assorts that governments derivo thoir just powers from the consenti of the governed. If the declaration is sound, we cannot rightfully acquire title by conquest or by purchase from au alien monarch, whoso title we disputed when wo furnished arms to the Filipinos. "If the administration had givon to the Filipinos tho assurance of in dopendenco which was given to tho Cubans there would have boon no bloodshed. If that assurance is given now hostilities will ocaso. No one proposes to withdraw tho sol diers until a stablo govornmont is established, but it will be easy to establish a stablo government when it is known that our occupation of tho Philippine Islands is only tem porary.
