Following is the speech deliver ed by Senator John Gatry Evais beforo the Democratic nominating convontion held in Columbia Wednesday, 19th inst: Gontlemen of the Convention and Fellow Democrats: Few men, gentlemen, in the his tory of our Stato have boon honor ed as I have to-night by you. Re cognizing the fact. of my youth, I have felt that I can indood thank fr" the botton of my hart for this honor. I would he false to myself if I told you I thought this the happiest hour of my life. I feel that the responsibility resting upon my shoulders is indeed great. But I feel that with the united Democracy and with the people of South Carolina, whom you repro-, sent, supporting me in my effort for honest government, that my efforts will not prove futile and that the will of the majority of the people of South Carolina will be carried out at all events. [Ap plause.] Our government is a govern ment of the majority, and should I be elected to the Chjiet Executive position of your State, I feel that I would be false to you should I not carry out the will of the majority when it is fairly expressed at all hazards. [Applause.) We are, gentfemen, Democrats we soe here men who fought for thi principles of Democracy, we so and hear men who sat upon lap of their mothers and heard of th brave deeds of their fathers wh fought for State's rights, men wh sat there, children then, men now Democrats now-men who imbi bed Democracy wit their mother'i milk. Toll me that those meni toll me that those gray..haired sirei could be false to South Carolina! Gentlemen, it comes with ba< grace, from any South Carolinian seeing your complexion, seeing ani hearing your principles, seeing and hearing the voice of South Carolinc expressed at the ballot box, to say that this grand old State is nol safe in your hands. [Applause.] There are some citizens in South Carolina who are fond of attach ing a tail to their Democracy. We are Democrats. We are not Cleveland Democrats. We are not any other kind of a qualidied Dem. ocrat. We owe allegiance to no man. We owe allegiance to the prmnciples which wore fought for you and your fathers and my fa ther, and those principles must be miaintained at all hazards. [Ap. plause.) Why, we have reached a state n the history of our country which sS prophesied by your own states. nan, Calhoun. We have reached Sstate now where parties are noi 'oenned by principles but are drawi *y geographical lines. We fin! ue Democracy in the South an< ii the West, the home of principhi rights, and who aro against con tralized government. We find on the contrary the opponents of Jef forsonian Democracy, by that prin ciple which means equal rights to all and special privileges to none, we find those men, living in the North and the East. We find an effort to centralize the government confined to a section which has grown rich upon the success of principles which have robbed the farmers of the South and West. What is our Democracy? In 1896, I make the prophesy here, that the South and the West will be called upon to redeem the Dem ocratic party from the plunderer a and the monopolist and the mil lionaire who aro growing fearful, if they do not have centralization C of the government that those mil- i lions will become the halter which t will surround their necks. F A great deal has ben said in your convention about Domocracy. A great deal has boon said by peo ple outside who attach tails to their Democracy. In natural his tory we road that the apo its hei grows old becomes suspicious of I his tail. It worries him mentally a alld physically until ho dies, be lieving that tho appendage is the I cause of his death. Such will be t the fato of such Demoncrats iin I South Carolina. [Applause. I Thore assombled in Ocala u (nder t the Southern sun, under the shados 11 of the paliIotto anld al miiost down on the Swanoo Rivor a body of the c honest yoomanry of the country. f Those mon did not go there as t pol iticians, not as reprosenting the I agricultural interests of this na- t tion. They set forth thoro cortain f principlos which are commonly 1 known as the Ocala platform. c Those principles woro set forth as i principles that wore necessary to rescue their government and to I save your interests which is the I bUis of all wealth, agriculture, I from the clutches of the Northern Shylock. Wo who are dependent on agri culture for our existence sympa thized with them. We said in our convention, "This is true Demo cracy, and we endorse it here," and I endorse it now. [Applause.) But they say it is not Democra cy. Bear with me a minute, and let me show the ignorance of cer tain people who criticise and con denmn you. Let me show you that those people cannot recognize Democracy when they see it in printer's ink. Let me refer to this platform. Trhe Democratic party in con vention assembled at Chicago en dlorse5d a part from principles. They are true and represent lhon ost government and are dear to the hearts of every one of you. they have beeni endorsed by your convention properly as true De mocracy, and these principles con nected with them have been on. dorsed, and I will show you that the National Democratic party in conivention assomblled in Chicago incorporated every one of those princip~les save one, andl that the Denmocratic majority in Congress have enactedl into law every prin Sciple of that platform not so Sadopted. Is not that the highest evidene of its Demnocracy'? "'We demand the abolition of national banks.'" That is D~e muocracy as formulated in section 8 of the Chicago platform. When Sthey asked fo.r the abolition of the tax on State baniks what did that jmean? "We demand that the amount Iof the circulation medium be spe cially increased to not loss than $50 per capita." The National Democratic platfornm dleplore the state of affairs of the farmers of the country calling attention) to the tremendous mortgage indebt edness upon the farmers and call en on congress to afford relief. So the plank is included in the na tional platform. "We demand that congress shall pass such laws as will effectually prevent the dealing in futures of all agricultural and mechanical productions, providing a stringent system of procedure in trials that will secure the prompt conviction, and imposing such penalties as shall secure the most perfect com-. pliance with the law." That has passed the House of congress, where the Demoerats had over 80 majlbority, but was defeated by the Sentebt. So is not thatadopted by jthe Democracy? I"We conxdelnn the silvet bill re , cently passed by cngress, and do unlimited coinage of silver." That demand is absolutely in sec tion 7 of the Democratic platform. If English means that free and ilimited coinage was demanded by the Democratic party, but un ler the prostitution of the Presi Jont of the United States a differ mt construction was placed upon that demand and we were cheated )d defrauded of its benefits. [Applause.] "We demand the passage of laws )rohibiting alion ownership of and, and that Congress take >rompt action to deviso some plan o obtain all lands now owned by lions and foreign syndicates; and hat all lands now held by rail oads and other corporations in ex ess of such is actually used and ,id needed by then be reclaimed >y the government, and held for ctual settlers only." That is ection 6 of the democratic plat orm adopted at Chicago, and al nost ideatical in language. "Believing in the doctrine of ,qial rights to all and 'special )rivlegen to none." These are refforsonian principles which are et forth in the chicago platform. "We demand that our national Ogislation shall be so framed in ho future as not to build up one adustry at the expense another.'' This is alost identically soc ion 5 of the Democratic platform dopted at. chicago. "We further demand a removal f the existing heavy tariff tax rom the necessities of life that he poor of our land must have." 'hat is the Democratic plank of he chicago platform demanding reo raw materials, But what iave we to-day? We have a Dem icratic House, a Democratic Sen 6to and a Democratic President, Lnd we had the right to expect a ,ariff for revenue only, and yet we lave bill comparatively little bet e than the McKinley bill. Why? Because the South and the West riow raise raw materials cheaper Lhan the Northeast, and they leave a high protective tariff on manu factured products and demand free raw materials because the farmers consume manufactured articles and sell the raw materials. We asked for bread and they gave us a stone. "We further demand a just anm equitable system of graduated tay on income." That is not incorpo rated in the Democratic platform but it has been passed as a law by the democratic party in congress and that is the stumblingblocl which will make Republicans o every Democrat in the Northeast Already, however, the Republicam Legislaturo in one Northern Stati has ratified the course of the Demi ocratic Senators of that State is their opp~osition to this measures which is not in this platform, an< which has been onautedl by ti United States congress. And ye these men, who say that we ari not Democrats, support a man wh< voteod against that provision a mai who leagued with the Republicams to defeat that p~rovision, andl to de feat sliver legislation. That is pulre) Democracy inll~uded in th< Donmocratic platform. "We demand the most rigid honest and just Stato aind nation alI government control aind super vision of the meanms of public conm mnunication andl transp)ortation and, if~ this control anmd supervi iOn) doo not remnove the abIuss nlow existing, we dlomand the gov ernment ownership of such moani of commnuniention and transpor tation." They have never do manded theogovernment ownersh ij of railroads. Trhoy simply do manded the control of the railroad1 and when we come to the poin when it wvill be necessary to koe1 them from owning the people thor we will domand government own ership, and not till then. Is no that pure Democracy and for thi pgotection of the p~eople? Tha has been enacted by Congress. Wh~en you p~assod the railroat commission law, you gave youn commission absolute control oi the irailroads, with power to fia rates, but you have nmevor demand od ownership of the roads and you .don't desire it, "We demand that the Congress of the United States subfuit an amendment to the constitution providing for the election of Uni.. ted States Senators by direct vote of the people of each State." The JDemiocrgtic congress has thatoenact ed into law and a Demoeratic sen ate doeeted it, So you see every plank of that platform save one, which is the *ub.treasury, is included in the Demoaratic platform and has ben enacted into law by a Democratic Scongrese-. The sub-troeasury is sim ply a plan pt'forthas an ovidOnce of a disease -existing among the farmers whd demanded of those doctors of the nation to do somo thing to cure that disease. Have not the people tho right to petition Congross? I maintain be fore the people and claim that they have such nt right. I am a true Domocrat and I stand on the Na tional Domnoqratic platform and I stawnd on the Ocala platforni. I will not fool mily people, let it cost me what-it may. [Loud applauso.] Now, gentlemen of the convon tion, I say this bocauso it has boon flung at your faces as a tart. W)o in South Carolina are a noblo peo ple. Wo should not cherish ani mosity, and (10 not. Wo iuvite every true and honest citizon to I come with us in this bill of rights t o preserve white Supromacy. White supremacy is worth more than party principle [loud ap plause] and the men who opposos1 those domands, who opposes the freo and unlimited coinage of sil vor, cannot stand before his peo ple and claim to be a Democrat. [Applause. We are a united peoplo. We stand'here united and if I thought, gentlemon,, that my nomination aind my election meant unhappi ness to the people of South Caroli na and threatened the institutions of my State, which I love, for every true patriot loves his State, I would ask you. to take back this nomination, and I would pray God to put out the spark which burns in my heart. [Applause.] If electod I shall be Governor of the entire people. I Ehall know no faction. 41nd. shall see that the will of the majority and the interest of the minority are pro. tected by all th law and power which is placed. in my hands as your chief Executivo. [Applause.] And now I shall leave you. I congratulate.yo,u on the work that you have doile tp-day. I congrat ulato youupQn tlie bold manner in which you remained steadfast to principle and the pledgos you made to the people. I promiso you that the Disponsa ry law, which seems to bo the hono of contention among some poople, but which I believe to be the only solution of the -whiskey problom, and the only rescue of the peoplo from tyranny of the whiskoy ring, I shall onforceo to the very lotter. [ A pplauso. j 1 thank you for your kind sup port, gentlemonii. I thank you as a Democratic pirty anid as the representatives of the people, and when I pledgo you my heart, when I plodlge you my hand, and when I pledge you my head, I have done all that mortal can (do. You do the rest and support me, andl I as sure you that the proud banner of thle Pahnetto State shall nover trail in the dlust as long as South Carolhnians are true to principle andl to South Carclina.

GOVERNOR TILLMAN 's VIEWS& Governor Tillman laughed de risively yesterday when he was spoken to about the demands of the Independens Convention. He saw through the schemes of the wire. pullors and. it 4ickled him immensoly. When asked for his views about what the convention would do to-day, he said they were )xpressed in an interview in the itlanta Constitution, published :o-day. He talked like the State Jonvention has intended all along o adopt the Chicago platform, )ut did not say that other things vould or would not be adopted. .t is sufficient to say that the Ahome of the Independents will )o wall met by such men as Gov irnor Tillman, Senator Irby, Sena or John Gary Evans, Senator W. .
