Senator Tillman Arraigns Presi
dent's Encroachment On
LEGISLATIVE POWER.
He Says congress Is Subservient to
the President*? Will, and Says Ho
Exercises Too Much Influence on
thu Other Departments of the Gov?
r eminent. House Declared to he
Speaker's Tool.
With il caution unusual for him,
Senator Tillman recently read a part
bf his speech in tho Sonnte, in which
he denounced Executive encroach
ment on legislativo power. With this
apparent caution ho proceeded to de
liver one of the most direct and de
nunciatory addresses ever heard in
that body. Ile was given a careful
hearing. ills speech was based on
his resolution instructing the co 111 111 11
100 on liuance to inquire whether, na
tional hanks of New York are in the
habit (d' furnishing permanent capi
tal Tor speculative enterprises, etc.
'the resolution was adopted,
?Mr. Tillman (raced what he termed
a "swinging of tho pendulum" from
the r?gime of Andrew Jackson, when
Congross assumed control almost to
(lie exclusion of tin1 President from
legislative Influence, to tho adminis
trai ions which followed, which, he
declared, witnessed a growth of Pres
idential powers. Tim dominating in
ti nonce and control of the. Executive
branch over the legislature and in a
degree over the judicial branches of
i he Oovcrhmenl were the most mark
ed leal ures of the American politics at
this time. "lt bas tUKCIt," said ?Mr.
Tillman, "inst forty-one years for tho
pendulum to swine, from one extreme
to I lu- ol her."
"Now." lie said. "Hie House of
Representatives has degenerated into
lillie more than a recording machine
ti) do the will ol' the Speaker and bis
lieutenants." freedom of debato in
ibo old and true sense has disappear
ed from the other end ol' Hie Cap
itol, he added. I n lin- Se?ale "ser
vility and cowardice are Hie order
of nu- day," he declared, 'and the
shadow of the Executive hangs over
ai! and tlte President's wishes are
almost the only law.
"There is," he added, "some show
of resistance on maller affecting HU?
multi-millionaires ?old the great cor
porations. The President writes
scolding messages and makes inflam
matory speeches appealing lo the
Unthinking and ignorant masses. Ile
has Hie potent influence of I lie pro Si

newspapers and magazines in exploit

a skill and daring thal compel nd ni tr

denounce his radical ideas in pri

way the measure.-, which he clamors
for by the passive resist HUCO ol' non

ty dares lilt his voice in opposition
or denunciation, bm the WxeeUtlvo

"TllO cause ol lilis condition." de
. (dared .Mr Ti lillian, "is Pederal pat

'The theory thal Hie Senate must
'advise ami consent' Indore appoint
ments ?fe made," be said, is ol lil
lie or no moment when Senators show
such wani of courage and self prospect
and how submissively lo tho orders
from the While Home. The a,em
bers of the minority party, oj course,
were largely ignored. Appointments
. in tho Routh, where Hie Democracy
rhinitis co ll I l'(d, are in the hands of
'referees' who lill 'he ollices for the
, sob? purpose for maintaining ma

Tiny have also, ho declared, a

"The people, poor, .dmpl ' souls,

U'O hd lo think tin' Presiden' alone

THE SUPREME COURT DECIDES

Tho Murderer of Constable Valen

The State Supicino Court hus sus
tained the lower Court In the case of
Pink Franklin, tho Orangeourg ne
gro, who was convicted of tho kill
ing of H. E. Valentino, white, and
sentenced to be hangod on October
25th, 1907. The case now goes down
to the trial Court for Franklin to be
r?sente?.ced unless his colored law
yers tako an appeal to the United
States Supreme Court, which, il is
said, they will do.
The killing of Mr. Valentine caus
ed quito a sensation at thc time and
there was fear of violence. Mr. Val
entine, a constable, wont lo the house
of Franklin lo servo a warrant on
.Inly 2!). 190.7. The warrant a barged
Pink Franklin with breaking an
agricultural contract, which had
been, made under the law since de
clared unconstitutional by the stat?;
Courts.
When Vitien!ino approached the
house of Franklin, the negro went
inside tho ho uso ami Valentine
knocked on tho slops. Soon after
wards a shot was fired and Valen
tino foll mortally wounded. Tho
man who accompanied,, him, NV. M.
darter, was also shot from inside the
house. Franklin was ?Uso wounded
?ind ho claimed that Valentine burst,
into tho house and tired ??I him be
fore ho bred at. Valentine.
Franklin was represented by Jacob
Moorer. ol' Orangoburg. and John
Adams, of Columbia, both colored,
?md they raised much Ibo same points
that Moorer bas used in contesting
tho election of Democratic. Congress-j
men in Ibis State, to-wit, that He
laws ol' Hie Stale discriminates
against negroes. Of course, there is
absolutely nothing in their conten
Hons, bul Hie points serve to prolong
the life ol' Franklin. Sooner or later
Franklin win be hung. t

for their continuance Govornor Ansel
takes Hie position that they should

Mr. Tillman reviewed the event;,

charged Wall street with many mis

"The profits of this nefarious stock

and 'and crowned kings' and are

A long review was given by Mr.
Beveridge of Democratic politics, and
ho declared that, a conference had been
held in Washington' for tho purpose
of coming lo a plan for asking for
llryan not to again bo a candidate on
the D?mocratie ticket, but when Mr.
llryan wan (hoi'O, bo said, not one of
them had Hie courage to toll him
what (hey bad planned to do. This
statement called forth denials from
Mr. Tillman, Mr. McCleary and Mr,
(lainey, all of whom declared that
there had never been any Idea of ask
ing Mr. llryan not to run on tho Dem
ocratic ticket and that stories to that
.effect were mere myths.

My Dour Mr. (?onzales.. . .1 appre
ciate the light which you are making
against (he misrepresentations In

and those who echo moir editorials,
it is aol for me to discuss tho qnes

have never slated thal 1 was the

could poll the most voles. Thal is
nol ;1 question upon which my judge

cepted, i have, simply stated thai it
is a quest ion Tor the volet.-, ol' I he
party to determino.
As a Democrat I have resented tho
claim thal a few editors should de
cide this quest ion for the people. |
arr. a believe! bi free press and l
recognize tho right of any editor,
whether Iiis circulation be lat fie or
small, lu state Iiis opinion und his
reason for ll, bul those who read his
opinion have a righi lo give it such
weight ?is they think il deserves. 1
have insisted that the readers ought
to know what pecuniary interest thc
editor has lu tho questions under
discussion
POI' Instance, I asked The World
to state editorially what llnnnclnl In
terests its owner. .Mr Pulitzer has
in the slocks or bonds of railroads
and in tho slocks and Louds of cor
porations commonly known as trusts.
The World has not seen lil to an
swer tho question. Ile is reputed to
he Interested in a humber of cor

islation, and Iiis readers aie entitled
to know what Iiis interests are. It
he has interests adverse lo tho in

There are several papers in you:
state which wore a ga hi sd me in IN:? ;
ami h?ive Peen iigansl nie ever since.
I tin net lc now whether ii i because
of a difference of ophion as ty what
OUglll lo Le done, or win Hier they
are connected with Interests that are
hostile lo ihe things which I haVe
I.ii advocating, Thoro are several
papers la tho United states which
are known to ho owned, in whole or
in part, hy thc corporate interests;
which they defend, bul I would not
make such II charge against the pap
ers of your State, because I have no
knowledge ns lo the ownership or as
to the corporate Intorcsts with which
the owners may lie connected, and I
pitier to assume (hat the differ onceo
are honest dlfforonccs unless 1 have
evidence to Hie contrary.
However, it is only fair to say
that Hies,, unfriendly editors, howev
er honest lliey may ho, are only r.o
many Individuals, ami according to
ihe Democratic theory, they are en
titled io sucii Influence only as thole
fellow-cit i zen s may voluntarily givo
to their opinions. If Hie voters differ
from (lune editors it must be remem
bered that they have a right lo dif
fer, and if it should provo thal the
voters are niistakon in judgment,
,thoy can console thomsolvoa with tho
reflection that tho editor? unfriendly
to mo have also been mistaken In
Judgment, un ia Hbo wu hy tho defeat
of 1904.
1 am liol asktllg tor any honors at
tho hands of tho Democratic party;
I have been honored far beyond any
thing that I could claim as a matter
of right or as a matter of merit, and
I especially appreciate the generous
support that has conic to me from
tho Southern States, lt has been grat
ifying to me to know thut my Dem
ocracy has boon satisfactory to the
rank and Hie of the Democrats of the
South, au well us to the rank aud
Hie of tho Dem?crata of the North.
If tho Democratic voters believe
that. I can assist tho porty by being
a candidate why should I refuse?
Aod why should I take tho advice of
a few editors who huve never been
friendly rather than the advice of
millions of Democruts who have beon
coluborers with me for more than a
decade?
The policy of the party must be
determined by the Voters and when
I discuss Democratic prinlcples I dis
cuss thom with the understanding
Hint I have no power to coerce, as I
have Po disposition to coerce. 1 cnn
only persuade, and 1 have never tried
to persuade others to believe except
where 1 have myself believed.
You have as much right to your
opinion as to any other editor, and
surely your Democracy can liol be
questioned when you. unlike some
other editors, propose to test the
popularity of measures and of
lien by the vote of the people.
Popular government rests upon tho
right of tim people to rule and every
party, if it deserves a .place under a
popular government, must recognize
the right of the voters to rule. Power
comes up from tho people and not
down to them. Ton are on sound
Democratic ground when you Insist
that the destinies of a candidate,
like the destinies of a country, must
tte placed in the hands (d' those who
do tho voting, tor to be Democratic
we. must believe in the capacity ol'
the people io govern themselves, as
well as in their richi to self-govern
ment.
Again thanking you for your gen
