He also addressed himself personally to Mr. Hill and Mr. Sherman, and drew from the former P several sharp rejoinders, while Mr. Sherman declined to be brought into controversy with the South Carolina Mr. Hill followed Mr. Tillman, an swering the latter point by point. The New York Senator referred to the com ing Democratic national convention, declaring that there would be no split, but that true Democracy would recog nise the rule of the majority and keep the party intact, despite the threats of the South Carolina Senator to leave the party. Mr. Hill ipoke freely and frankly of his differences with the officers of the administration and, in particular, re ferred to the grievous mistake, as he called it, of Secretary Carlisle in not supporting Senator Blacsburn, when the latter was the nominee of a Demo- Tbe discussed International party affairs, urging harmony and the term!nation of venomous a—nits by Dwaoorate ea a Democratic President.

"I haveoeenthr 2 ^ Yost and I know ho feel.” ^ rough the West and I know how the people The Senator draw a comparison be tween Andrew Jackson aad Grover Cleveland. "One was the man of the people, but Cleveland stands ns the UMdef the classes,” ha declared, add ing that the President represented only money, the almighty dollar. The President had no policy, he went on, except the policy of the Senator from Ohio (Sherman). "If Grover Cleveland.”he shouted with an emphasis that fairly made the ever Ivt i Wore the bear on his brow the Senator from Ohio oa the floor that the PraoMeat has duty. They are liak- bsmboosle the people,” be said, addressing Mr. Sher man. " The fools era not nil dead yet, but they era getting mighty restless.” At one point, -Mr. Tillman addressed a direct question to Mr. Sherman con cerning the interests of the laboring people.. » " Will the Senator aaswer me that," asked Mr. Tillman, pausing in antici pation of a response by Mr. Sherman. But Sherman looked directly at the South Carolina Senator and remained In his sent without answer. Mr. Tlllmnn next took up Mr. Her bert, and said the Secretary had been making a speech at Cleveland to some Shod owners nnd ooupon-olippers, and made running comments while he read the Secretary’s - speech. “IT the people wanted this OlevslaOd-Carllsle-Sher- man rule, nil right; let them have it; let them fry. , "But l tell you loan see the end ooming,” said, Mr. Tillman. "One thing I know, there it a God in heaven and a reckoning must come. We need a purification of public life; we need n new constitution to declare the peo ple’s rights aad to tie the hands of the thieves who are robbing them. You. are damming uo the waters. But wait till there is a full head on. You peo- r ile are going to see some fine grind- ng this year, or within the next four years.” Then, turning again to Mr. Hill, Mr. Tillman said: " And now, for the benefit of the Senator from New York —whom I Ipve—the Senator- whose motto is 4 I am a Democrat’—I will say, "I am a Democrat too,’ a Democrat after Jeffereon and Jaokaon. He prates of ‘sound money’; 1 cry ‘hard money'; he Is n Democrat for national banks, for the national government.’’ The Senator added that the Demo cracy could not win In the coming election. If the farmers could be fool ed into voting that ticket any longer, let them do it. " And what will I do V” the Senator asked of himself, and then answered : " I expect to go to Chicago as a dele gate. I except to try to get my party to throw off Its rottenness. If we have to bid good-bye to New York and Tern- many, I may abed a few tear*. But If they succeed In buying n few more delegatee—as I understood they did la Michigan the other day—ao aa to be able to endorse Grover Cleveland and 'sound mousy,' then I am going to take y hat and old the Senator from New York aad those like him a long fare well.

When the Bessie had regained Its brreih. Mr. Hill, who had teen taking notes, teak the floor. At Ike outset, Mr. Hill oharaotorlesd Mr. Til. uao. speech as a remarkable performance and expressed doubt as to • bather he did net err la Making nay at all te anything that He, however, awurrod t be should ooeflae himself to some of the "gratuitous, uncalled for aad ea- dlgnlfled remarks ” of bis friend who loved him 'TBfl BMator has J« □:•)<] hove tadhuTT that he wee a Populist,’’ Mr. Hill thee | proceeded : " Let me say to him that what he has said leads oo the straight road to Populism, or,” after a pause, "to some worse place." (Laughter) Mr. Hill ixjugreiulated Mr. TUlmaa, however, oe his assurance that ha woeld not join the Pnpultst party. As to what the Deouxrailc party woeld do at Chloago Mr. Hill dacltaad to make a prediction la view of the rapidity with which aveete ware at present marching. " But I say to the Senator from South Carolina that If be loves Jeffarsoe aad Jaoksoa nod still represents his people, he will have no reason to leave the party he has served •o well la the past.” As to Mr. numaa'a statement that he (HUl)oo longer spoke for New York, he admitted smilingly that that might be true. He recalled the fact that pre vious to 1993 New York had remained la the Democratic column for eight years. " But In 1892,” arid he, " State retting anything Into his head.” Mr. Hill wart ea te show that Mr. TUlmaa aad Mr. Bberewa ’• occupy the same platform ” as to greenbacks, add- lag that he would leave It to the two Senators to tight It out between them* salves. Mr. TUlmaa again Interrupted to re mark : " From your view, Sherman Is a better Democrat than Cleveland or a better Democrat than yourself.” "The Senator le defending livs De mocracy of Mr. Sherman /" asked Mr. Hill. " That’s about it.” said Mr. Tillman. " That Is where I wanted to get you,” Mr. Hill. r. HU1 turned his attention to Mr. Tillman’s statement as to quitting the Democratic party. The New York Senator said the essential principle of the Democratic party was its recogni tion of the rule of the majority. The South Carolina Senator declares he will S > to the Chloago oonveniion. Mr. ill supposed, he said, that the Sen ator like a true Democrat would abide by the deoreee of the conveution. “ If be goes there with acy other idea,” exclaimed Mr. Hill, with ring ing vehemence, " he ought not to be admitted and he will not be admitted.”' Mr. Tillman interrupted, tbtg. time securing the permission el* ine chair. He said parties were voluntary associa tions of individuals who thought alike. They lasted only while the Individuals thought in common. The Democratic party had split once before, and In his judgment it wne going to split again. Majorities did not rule here, or in the House of Hepresentatfres, or in the Kentucky Legislature. The New York Senator wuted the majority to take a goldbug policy. But,they would not have it. iflt was forced upon theur tbey would get out. Mr. Hill shook his head at this re sponse. " No.” said he, " it will not do for my friend to give ti sentlmeot of the South, /the Democ racy of the South is noVgoing to that convention with one idea. The Democ racy baa more than one idea. 'It would be blind folly for that great party to split, to divide oe the finan cial question. There in more In Democ racy than in the single question of illvar.” Mr. Tillman asked : " Does not the New York Senator know thnt now-a- days the President Is the party ; that a Senator like himself has no more'oon- • iilerstlon as to patronage since that man went into the White House tnan any bootblack Mr. Hill replied thet the Democratic party wee not confined to patronage. Mr. Hill weet on to say that as “ Democratic llaea le being washed, we had better have it out,” and he spoke of his association with the admin istration. It was not true that he was Its defender. He had said little as to the edmlstratloa except to re ply to attacks as to hoods, aad that was without conferring with admlnle- tratios leaders. While edmirlag the ability of Mr. Carlisle, the Senator be lieved Mr. Carlisle had made a mis take, a very serious mistake, when he felled to aid Senator Blackburn, who was the Democratic caucus eoeslaee before the Keeteoky Legislature.

To win the fight for the Democratic party and ailvar, ainst McKinley, it will take a man o oan arouse the enthusiasm of the people in the pYest. No half-hearted whi any showli of ring, the Tillman’s would a times requiring magnetism. - It is marvelous, he says, to note the number of letters Tillman receives from all over the country, telling him bow much he is admired. They are not confined to the West, but come from New York- and other Eastern States. Tillman was not a candidate for the Presidential nomination, but if the party demanded hia servioes he would of course make the fight for silver. Tillman's name would, almost with out doubt, the Governor said, be pre sented to the Chicago oooventlon, and if it were he would probably receive the nomination. As for ’Tillman not ranking well in Washington, that was all nonsease. He was regarded by other Senators aa a very able man, and was listened to with great attention whenever he spoke. In conclusion, the Governor said : "Tillman’s pitchfork will be the em blem of the victorious farmers of the' South and West and there Is promise of lively times ahead. Tillman stands before the nation now as he stood In South Carolina In 1800 nod- l look for the same result.” prepare our better nature for the only solution of life’s problem, which is love to God and to our fellow men, but very few old men carry bit terness to the grave.

Over two thousand years have passed since the Athenians defeated the great army of Darius, but Marathon is still memorable in song and story. It is the watchwon. of patriotism. A generation has passed since the battle of Gettysburg, but the valor of the American soldiers of both armies, as displayed in that bloody fight, will shine in history as long there are people to write, or people to read. We are glad that Colonel Gar nett has come South to work for the memories of the lost cause, and to tell us about Gettysburg.
