As to illseropanoy between Mr. Tillman's llgurcs, Ibo comptroller (funeral's and mino: Yon vvUT re member Hut I stated that thc very tow minutes which tho hurry of tho Convention ul lowed I could not give ligures accurately. Thc appro priation hills ot 1870-80 eovorod il jingos, ami to pick out ami add up all tho itoin- scattered through them would hnvo lakon a skilled export much moro timo than I had. 1 thereloro stutod distinctly that I could not say that my ligures wore absolutely current, I said that Mr. Tillman's statement that, tho ex penses in 1880 to $210,000 moro than in 1875) was absolutely ami ridicul ously false. Thc comptroller gbn eral, whoa culled on by Mr. Till man to decide thc question showed that it was utterly faino. You weie n mo m bur of tho 11 u norn I Assembly during both yours, and I ask you if the statement ls not false'.' Tho reason that my figures differed largely from tho comptroller gen eral's is thal wo were dealing with di Hereat years. Mr. Tillman in tho Convention spoko of thc year 1870 ?md o feo ur so 1 got tho Heures for the ilscal year beginning Novem ber I INT'.'. When Mr. Tillman cal led on thc comptroller general to decide the question, ho asked fu tile year ending Nove m ber l 1870, but as the (?yuros ol' that year wore a clear contradiction ol his state moat I did not think it worth while to col lect it or call attention to it.

That Ibo only Incrnsos have t hen for the charitable institutions, bo military internal improve mcnls and education, and that ev ery Increase has been clearly ami specifically named in the bill ami fully discussed in the Legislature, Hie press and before Hie people. Ith. That tho dilToronco of expen ditures in thc years 1878-79 mid 18 80-87, as appear on the treasurer's I books, arises dom the fact that while about $200,000 which was spent does not appear among the treasury cash, it h because it was paid in bonds which are now at a instead ol in cash, ami should there fore be added lo Hie cash paid out. I nm not ono ol'thoso who hnvo attacked M r Tillman. I sincerely synipnthl/.o with the movement of the farmers to ele vate and improve the farming in terosts of the country, 1 have been astonished at thc ig norance which Mr Tillman bas dis played whenever ho bas been brought down to facts and ligares und when 1 see that 'Milstead of trying como to the Legislature and going to work to mend matters he carefully stands on the outside ?nd abuses those who are working. 1 am loreen to tho conclusion that ho is n humbug. I take it for granted that ho eau come to tho Legisla ture. There is where ovorvthlng is decided. Cortnlnly if ho is flt to lead tho farmers of tho V>lato be 1? competent to bc a leader in the Logfsluturo in which the farmers aie in a largo niujuiity.
