The, Senator uapd the blunt words
eharacterUtlc of hia utterances, ar
raigning the President and Cabinet
officers with unapairlng oritioism and
penooal inrectlve. 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-

The Senator draw a comparison be
tween Andrew Jackson aad Grover
Cleveland. "One was the man of the
people, but Cleveland stands ns the

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).

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

proceeded : " Let me say to him that

"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.

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

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

Governor Evens has raturaed to the ,
city from New York aad Washington, J ^llllmantio,
where he has been for the post week ‘
on offloial business. He was in good
health and spirits and talked pleasant
ly to e representative of The State on

table in his library lay n handsome
S >ld-headed walking oaos, with "John
ary Evans, April 24,1896,” engraved
thereon. It was presented by an ad
mirer of the governor.
When asked hew he was pleased
with the actionrof the different coun
ty oonventiors, which were held
on Monday, bu answered that he was
more than satisfied with the result.
When the State convention met on the
20th Inst., he said, Tillman would be
present with a strong majority of the
delepateteMhtaking M he does, and
ready to act with him. - There was no
do ibt in bis mind about Tillman being
sent at the head of the delegation from
this State to Chicago. The delegates
would probably go unlnstructed, but
witft a firm determination to nominate
gtnan'sp candidate for President who
stood for silver at 16 to 1.
As to bolting, he hardly thought the
delegation would find it necessary, for
there would 'be a majority at the Chi
cago convention holding the same
views as they did on the monetary
question.
The governor was particularly grati
fied with the results in Charleston,
Greenville and Laurens. One-half of
the Charleston delegation, he said,
were stalwart administration men, who
could be relied on. In Laurens.Irby

anything more truthfully said. The
good citizen must keep his patriotism
alive by cherishing the memories of
the wars in which they or (heir fathers
were engaged. 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. Did not our
hearts burn within us as he described
the thrilling scenes that absorbed his
vision and magnetized every fiber of
his being? Who can ever forget
the exalted emotions that a great
battle inspires ? Then, let every vet
eran go to hear this eloquent Virgin
i%n and (or a time quiver with unsup
pressed emotions. Let every young
man, yes, every lad and lassie go to
hear him and have their patriotism
uickened and made stronger. Henry
rady won the applause of New Eng
land and the mighty North when he
dared to say in his great speech, • "The
South has nothing for whioh to a^Olo-
ize. The late struggle between the
tales was war and not rebellion-
revolution, and not conspiracy. Not
for all the glories of New England
would I exchange the heritage my
father left me in nls soldier death.”
But who 1 s this Charles Broadway
Roust, who has so recent 1 Y electrified
the South with his munificent and
patriotic proposition? Colonel Gar
nett has told us. We have seen his
earnest, geqial face Id the papers, but
that U not enough. He must come
South and mingle with our people.
