Louis Republic,
Governor Tillman of South Carolina,
chairman of tlie committee on
resolutions of the Bimetalic Convention,
nunle a speech yesterday wh ich
dealt with more mutl-nra fbun oiK-or
He hauled up the bloody shirt, not to
flaunt it in the faces of his Northwestern
auditors, but us an illustration
of the persecution to which the
South had been subjected. He took
tho floor to speak \ipon the motion
to adopt the resolut'ons, and spoke
as follows:
* * * Vt
In turning your eyes backward
over tho pages of our past history
you find that prior to the war there
wore two great prevailing political
issues?slavery and the tariff. The
explanation has been made, or at
tempted to he made, thousands of
times that the war grow out of the
desire of tho South for free trade
rather than the preservation of slavery.
Wo wait ted to get off to our
selves. There were then only two
great questions, and last year wo
were told that there were still two
groat questions. The financial ques
tiou (slavery having happily passed
away) and the tariff. Wo were led
to expect that when this Democratic
Congress met, with a majority sent
there by the people in all the
branches of the Government for the
first time in 30 years, the tariff
would be one of the main questions
presented to it to which it would address
itself. We found, however,
that Congress has been called in extra
session to solve the other question,
the financial question, which
1 have always contended was the
burning question. (Applause.) And
to day it has brought the West and the
South together and made men who
for 20 years have been mortal political
enemies act here as a band of
brothers. (Applause. ]

1 said that tho financial question
was a burning question, but there
also confronts us another form of
slavery of to-day, but the slave is a
white man. ( Applause.] What do
1 mean by slave? Tell me, gentlemen,
what more absolute condition
of servitude can possibly exist than
tint of the farmer, who, in the
language of the eloquent gentleman
from Missouri this morning (Mr.
Cochran,) has for 20 years since 1873
been making his crops on a falling

PKOBING Old) WOUNDS,
Now, let us come on down to the
end. You will excuse mo if I rip
up somo old wounds, or if I probe
those that are healed. I do it in
kindness and in sincerity, but it is
necessary in order to have a clear at 1
perfect understanding of the situa
tion. We are?all men are?more
or less creatures of habit and educa
tion. We inherit our religion, we
inherit our politics, and we transmit
to our children our hates. It is not
worth while to talk about the war,
or how it came on, or who got the
most glory out of it. You got all
tho glory and we got oil the bitter,
ness and ashes. I am not going to
speak of that. J. just want to attract
your attention to it, thai those of

the natural allies in everything, who
have been following the banner of
New England and New York and
those Eastern States in your efforts
to crush and enslave the Southern
people by your adheronoo to the lie
publican party?those of you who
have been told to vote as you shot ?
1 simply want to say to you that I
am glad that daylight is at last
dawning and that you realize, after
25 years, that we have a community
ef interests between the South and
the West and you are turning to us
with longing eyes to come and help
yon regain your own fortune and undo
the wrong yon have done us.
[ Applause.] We can stand anything
down our way. [Laughter.] Our
climate is so genial, our soil so fertile
at 8*
c
that wo have been enabled to rehabilitate
our country, and to push
forward in equal race. Although we
are behind you in the production of
iron, we are steadily approaching
you in the manufacture of cotton and
| other enterprises. The interest we
have paid down there has amounted
to from 10 to 100 per cent for what
wo have bought on credit, and yet
we dnvo stood it, and we are not as
j badly off now as you aro. [ Laughj
ter. | Therefore, when I tell you
' thut wo have been skinned so lot.g
that we have so little skin now you
willjundorstand wo can live without
skin. [ Laughter and applause.] It
dues my soul good to know that your
withers are wrung, that your backs
are being bowed until you have risen
up and intend to help us grow some
skin ourselves in order that you may
save your own. [Great applause.]
TUB NHUItO QUKSTION.
What is the trouble with us?
What has been the bone of contention?
The negro question. The
Republican party has been waving
the bloody rag?the bloody shirt ?
and has made accusations of murder
and of bulldozing, of ballot box,
stufling and all that sort of thing,
but t! e greatest curse of all to us
were those Federal soldiers, those
men whom our people dread, who
wero told to vote as they shot. You
shot us back into the Union and we
intend to stay there. [Applause.]
sVe are ready to heln vou to make it

ready to shake hands across the
bloody chasm and throw away the
malice and hatred we have felt.
[Applause. J
Will you let us? |Cries of "Yes!
yes!" | Can we trust you? [Cries of
"Yes! yes!' ] Hut let ine call your
attention to something. (Laughter.]
A voice; "Spit it out."
Yes, 1 am going to spit it out.
[Laughter.] It tnay ho hitter, but
you have got the fever. ] Laughter.]
I have found an old friend from
Colorado, the most recalcitrant,
red hot, old-time State's rights
Democrat I ever mot in my life.
| Laughter and applause. ]
He is masquerading as a Populist
because ho is ashamed to say he has
been mistaken so long. [Laughter.]
THK SOLID SOUTH.
What has kept the South solid?
Why won't it split up on economic
questions? you ask. I tell you, gentlemen;
there is but one thing that
has kept the South solid, and that
will keep it solid as long as wo are
threatened with it, and that is the
fear of negro domination and the
restoration or tnose governments
that robbed us of over *150,000,000
during the short time they were in
existence. Why don't wo vote with
you up here? Why don't wo vote
with the Populists? you ask. Why
i don't wo give you some asurance? I
toll you perfectly plain and blunt.
Let us understand one another. You
have been the most recalcitrant, redhot,
black Republicans in this Union.
I mean by that, Republicans who
are forever and eternally harping
about the "poor negro." They love
him for nothing else on tho face of
God's earth than tho perpetuating of
the Republican party in power.
Now thoy talk about taking away a
certain part of our representation
disenfranchising the negro. When
they enfranchised the negro they
gave us a club that we have since
used in a very scientific manner to
club them with. They gave us 30 or
40 additional votes in the Klectoral
College a id the additional members
of Congress which they gave us by
reason of tho increased negro representation.
HAVE U8EI> Til K Cr.Uft.
Wo have used this club very skillfully
to proservo our liberties up to
this time. They gave us the club to
use and wo are going to hold on to it,
and it will be to your benefit that
wo do hold on to it, because with it
we will win this fight which wo are
now engaged and beat those fellows
up yonder.
Now, gentlemen, I have told you
that the negro is the trouble with
us. The blackest Republicans, the
stanchest and most outrageous in
their domands that the negro in the
South should have a full vote and a
fair count. That was their shibboleth
and battle cry. It was the
Republican watchword in the North

the spites and hatreds of the war to
induce you to k<voio as you shot";
and they have quietly regulated the
progress and growth of the country

"What arc you going to do about
it?" "What aro we at?" I asked you
a moment ago if am could trust you;
and some of you said "yes." Iowa is
not represented here; Minnesota is not
represented here; neither of the Da
kotas is represented here.
Governor Lewolling: Iowa whs
represented hero by General Weaver.
Governor Tillman: Yes, and he
said he was ready to meet us half
way and all that sort of thing; and
then ho generously stopped. Where
are wo going to look for assistance
and help? What is to keep us from
a renewal of the era after the war
of being reconstructed? The Democracy
of New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut? We could not come
here because Kphriam was wedded to
his idol and wo had to let you alone.
If you are ready to leave those idols
and set up a new god?a god of our
own country?a god whom wo can
all appreciate as free Americans?wo
are ready to join hands with you.
[ Applause.]
But to day, gentlemen, some of
your Representatives in Gongress
who make this gallant light in
behalf of silver and for the emancipation
of the people from this financial
thralldom are as bittor in their
feelings to tlie South as they have
ever been. This is a complex condition
for us. If \vc would keep
from being ground to powder we will
join forces with you as soon as we
have guarantees that can be trusted
mplicitly. | Applause. |
"CAN WE TRl'ST YOU?"
The gentleman from Kansas tells
me wo are right. My friend over
i there says they will turn their Senators
out if they try that, and all that
sort of thing, t'orhaps so. 1 tell
, you it is the God's truth that as
much 08 we realize and understand
the evils that confront us in the
single gold standard, and the losses
that it will entail upon the people,
the grinding, perpetual poverty that
confronts us if the gold standard is
adopted in this countrv does not
begin to compare with negro domination
in the South; and before we
permit it we will die!
I am nearly through. 1 think we
understand each other fully, but in
order to turn this into a practical
shape let us start out right. As 1
told you, I am not a politician unless
you consider plain common
senso politics. Let us come right
down to practical business. The
Statos south of the I'otomatio and
Ohio rivers and west of the Missippi
will send to the Electoral College
224 votes?2 more than enough
to elect a President. They have 54
Senators?20 more than a mojority.
They have 170 Representatives in
the House, nine less thun a majority.
Let us cross therivpr and see what
our prospects are over there. We
see plainly enough that we can hold
the Senate, we can capture it and
we can hold it, and wo can capture
the Presidency. [Applause*J
WILL NOT CRITICISE TilE PRESIDENT.
What do those millionaires up
there care so long as they can clip
their coupons and go to Europe and
buy clothing?-did I say buy? Oh,
no! [Laughter.] Rut some of you
must think that sorb of a thing is
done when u Democratic President
gives a nico fat position to a follow

like Mr. Van Alen. But the Republicans
were just as bad. Look
at Little Johnnie Wannamakor.

of abuse for Mr. Cleveland; don't
think it does any good. I was sorry
to hear tho gentleman from Alabama

As I said, it is a certainty that,
without crossing either of these riv

and the Senate; and 1 am
very certain that we ought, to have
I a fighting chance to get three of the
I States east of the Mississippi and
maybe four, and certainly enough '
straggling Congressmen who are
patriotic enough to vote for the country
as a whole rather than their in

country and bring it back to its ori

TIIK COMMUTE!-: ON HKSOl.l'TlONS.
St. Louis, Mo., Oct. I. 1803.?
(rKNTi.KMKN; We, your committee,
respectfully report the following resolutions
for your consideration:
W'heras, The producing, manufacturing,
mercantile financial, transportation
and other business interests
of the United States are paralyzed
by a patent and universally
confessed lack of sufficient actual
money to moot the requirments of
legitimate trade: and,
Whereas, We believe in giving
full and equal legal tender power to
every dollar bearing the stamp of
the Government which alone gives
a money value: and,
iin ' 1 ...
wnereas, 1 no goiu ana silver
produced in tho mines of the United
States are necessary for tho requirements
of the country for coin, it is
essential that Congress take such
action relative to the coinage of the
two money metals, as will restore
silver to the position it held in lS7d:
and,
Whereas, The present deplorable
condition of the producing and all
other industrial and commercial in.
terosts is the legitimate fruit of a
vicious financial system, established
by and maintained in the interests
of a plutocracy which threatens our
liberties; and
INTEHE8TS THAT AUK I DEN'TlOAI,.
Whereas, United action is necessary
between the parties to any
common interests to secure important
and lasting results: and,
Whereas, By geographical position,
diversity of God given agricultural,
industrial and other nature
capabilities and resources, the West
tern and Southern States and Tor
rittories of the United States are hap
pily litted for mutual intercourse and
dependence, responding alike to tho
same beneficent or detrimental influences
and effects, whothor legislative,
financial or commercial: it is
the sense of this convention that in
view or tneso laces and of the eon-;
tinned flagrant disregard of the vit- j
a! interests of the great producing i
States by the dominant influenced
in national centers, (inancial and
political, that a closer alliance between
the inhabitants of the West
and South is imperatively demanded
for the purpose of mutual protection
and advancement along all legitimate
lines. Wo assert that whilo
this is true of the Southern and
Western States, it is also true, that
the manufacturing States of the
Ksst cannot enjoy prosperity, whilo

Resolved. That we demand the
free and unlimited coinage of silver
at the established ratio of 10 to 1,
giving to such coin equal tender,
powers with gold;
Second?That we are unalterably
opposed to the repeal of the so-called
Sherman law. except by the passage
of a law providing for the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the
established ratio of 10 to 1.
Third?That our Representatives
in Congress instruct (ho chief executive
to issue a call for an early
convention of all nations interested
in and favorable to the free coinage
of silver at the ratio of 10 to 1 for
the purpose of establishing closer

to quit feeding seme of them during

to state that what his mules and

would keep two or threo hogs fat.
In roply to this the other fanner
stated that he would kill live or six
hogs this winter that would net
from 250 to 350 pounds each, also
that ho'had not bought meat hut
one year in twelve or fourteen years
ami that year the cholera killed all
his hogs.

The Big "Per Capita" Stupidity.
Baltimore Sun,
If there is anything in the "per
capita1' argument times ought to bo
awfully prosperous just now, since
tbe per capita circulation of tho
United States on October I was $25
20, or more than at any timo in the
last thirty years. We have nearly
*105.000.000 more of circulation
than wo had a year ago. Wo were
fairly prosperous in" 18G0 on a per
capita of $14 8f>, but we have now
nearly twice that, and ought, of

"more money" argument. But a
smaller per capita, with confidence
in the money in circulation, may,

$1,000 do if it inspired everybody
with fear and caused $1)00 of it to
bo hoarded?
