And "Bust" He Did. Tillman Had an Opportunity And Lost it. Special to The State. CHICAGO. July 9.-I will leave the rhetorical fireworks for the able press association writers. I Sud myself hard to enthuse. The coovectioD has been prosy as national conventions go, with the sole exception of the debate on the platform, and the one speech that really thrilled the air was Bryan's, Tilimau had a great opportunity and fell far short of it. The silver majority expected much of him and everybody was curious to hear him. He was warmly received at first, but bis speech proved fo be not a real defense of the platform, but ao advertisement of Till? man and his pitchforking sortie. He had ability enough to do vastly better, but drunken with egotism, he made just and ordinary speech of the sort he has dished out so often to ''wool hats" at home. And he had for once a taste of his own Tillmanite medicine when the gilded galleries howled him down. He was frequently applauded, but almost continuously hissed. Waves of si bi 1 lant sound swept around the vast arena and gave him fnquent pause. Of course tba gold bugs did it, but no other silver speaker was so treated, and that is significant enough of the esti? mation in which he is held. Tb% sil? ler men thonght he spoke in bad taste and in a manner to injure their cause. Senator Jones, of Arkansas, chief cf the silver propagandists, felt compelled to repudiate his raising of the sectional issues. Bryan, of Nebraska, felt com? pelled to S2y that thq silver men would vote down his resolution abusing Cleve? land. The silver men in South Carolina will now realize that The State was right when it told them that Tillman was working for Tillman more than for sil? ver, and that he would burt the bimet tailic cause more than be helped it. He withdrew his resolution on Cleveland simply to avoid the added humiliation of having it defeated by silver votes As Bryan said, the issue was too great to be degraded into a personal one. Hill is oct eloquent, but his speech was very forceful and adroit. Vilas was eloquent bat unsubstan? tial. Russel was both eloquent and impres? sive. But Bryan's was the speech that the convention had waited for and wanted to hear, not knowing whence :t would come It aroused enthusiasm real and profound It was a great speech at a great moment. Thestrongest gold men admit that. Bryan is of Virginia par? entage and Irish ancestry. He is just old enough to be President. He looks like a composite of Edwin Booth. John W. Daniel and McKinley himself. A handsome fellow he is. and an orator of extraordinary fire. His voice was PU- ? perb. his gestures -dramatic, his utter? ances epigrammatic, his manner in tensely earnest and his every point was telling. More than this he showed high logic ability. Bryan has been associating too much with Populists to please mc. but he has fully earned this tribute. With this young man as can? didate for President, swinging round the circle of ihe States, the Democratic party w?n?u. make a campaign enpar- j relied A ;d I sav this without aban- ; doning a preference for Boies. The reception of his speech was be- j vond description. He had met the ! ablest champion? of gold and defeathed j them. A Pensylvania delegate admit- j ted regretfully that it was the finest j demagogue speech he ever heard. The | convention was sorely puzzled what to j do io the event of a deadlock Bryau's j speech solved its don'?-'-. I t? ink. It j saw before it a mau fitted to in-s 5 sue | and a splendid exponent of it Wi hia j half ac hour after his spee r*! dvle^a tions had begun to declare 1. r hun. Tonight's vote wi'l tell the result. The platform is somewhat disappoint? ing. It must be admitted that it. was i framed not only to declare Democratic principles, but to catch Populist votes. Iiis a coa^promise of the south with the west. I do not see how the Populists and bolting Republican can vote against it. The currency plank, wbcu closely examined, does not declare against State banks of issue The door is left open for them Of course State bank notes cannot be made legal ten? der by the United States. If they could, they would lose their "homing'' tendency and be capable of congestion in th* money centres Tillman was Z beaten when the sub-committee's plank was rejected for this one. He was against anything but greenbacks There would have been a great Cuban demonstration but for two things. Senator Jones was so hoarse that the Cuban plank could hardly be heard in the confusion, and Congressman Rich? ardson of Tennessee, who was acting as chairman, and who, I think, made a speech in the house against Cubas re? cognition, set a half dozen policeman ?and deputy sergeant-at-arms on Mr. W. D. Evans the moment his waving of the silken banner of free Cuba had started a wave of cheering in the migh? ty hall. He acted like a brute and a fool. The Democracy, with eastern business interests already lost to it, had no reason*to be afraid of a declaration or demonstration for Cuba. Mr. Evans would, have offered a separate Cuban resolution but for the fact that under the rules it could not be read. He nd other South Carolina delegates were ' Ae hornets about the substitute chairman's despotic action ?f the gold power attempted any bribery,it did cot show results in the vote Tho silver phalanx remained immovable. The so called neophytes in politic?, of *vhooD the gold press has been so contemptuoca, showed that they could not be bluffed, bullied, bought nor buncoed. They have done 'determinedly what they came to to do; and on the whole acom plished it without showing passion or unfairness. ?f a breach shall come it will be the product of incompatibility of policy, not the result of silver usurpa? tion or iosult Wiser and more Demo? cratic heads than Tillman's have di? rected this convention. The last edition of The Evening News says: "The committee on reso? lutions held a sesi?n at the convention hall for the purpose of amending the platform adonted by the full commit? tee yesterday. The consideration of the amendments to the platform was then taken up. The platform was printed in The Daily News last even? ing ; first as a digest, the entire text be? ing later.. A vote was taken upon the amendment offered by Mr. Bailey of Texas, changing the financial plank so that it cannot be construed as a declaration against State banks. The Bailey amendment was offered a? a substitute for a portion of the financial plank and Tillman promptly moved to lay it on the tuble. The first vote stood 12 to 12. Another vote was ordered and there was 10 yeas and 12 nays The point of no quorum was made, the gold men of the committee having re fused to vote. Tillman made a pro? test against the minority of the com? mittee coming in and delaying business. Hiil said that the aotiou of the mi? nority members was a matter for each to determine for himself. The Bailey substitute for the Till? man plank relating to the power of con? gress to issue money was agreed to by the resolutions committee. N. G. Gonzales. ?? i ? i An interesting letter was issued a few days ago by the American Anti Vivisection aoeiety, of Philadelphia, appealing to the public not to circulate sensational stories about alleged n>ad dogs and the terrible.results of being bitten by them. Such accounts, it states, frighten people into nervous di:? orders, and yet lhere is upon record a great mass of testimony from physicians asserting the extreme rarity of hydro? phobia, even io the dog. The letter quotes a number of prominent physi? cians in support of the theory that there is no such affliction to mankind as hydrophobia. Dr Hiram Cordon, late president of ?he Pennsylvania Medical society, who was 94 years old, wrote : "I have never seen a real case of hydrophobia " Dr Vrail Green, th* eminent phys cian of Lafayette college, who is over 80 years years old. writes : "I have never had a ca^e of hydro? phobia, nor have I ever &eeu a case." Dr. Matthew Woods, who baa leen in quest of the disease 20 years, asserts that be never saw hydrophobia in either man or animal, although 6 years ag? , he offered ?100 reward tu any person bringing htm such a patient He says again that he has never s? en a capo of ;ue disease.

Yesterday's session was the largest held by the State board of control ?his week, and was owing ?> an effort ot) the part of the members to com? plete all of the work so they could leave thc city today for their homes. The letters of Messrs. C. D Stan? ly and ll W. Adams to the board, demanding that the dispensary law j be admistered in strict compliance with its wording, and in particular the beer privilege lea; ire, has at last borne its fruit. Hereafter, so it was stated yester day, all persons having beer privi? leges will be required to have an of? fice in which to transact business the same as a county dispenser. All persons purchasing beer will be re? quired to sign the same blanks as in ! the dispensary, so that there will be j no difference in the buying of whiskey i and beer. It can no longer be bought from j a beer delivery wagon. The board j says, however, after an order has I been left for beer by a person, that ! there is no objection to its being de I livered as at present This decision will put beer drink j ers to a good deal moro trouble, but j it is not likely that the consumption will in any way be decreased.

MURDER KD AN J) MUTILA/? ?JD Jim Jackson Stabs Golden 'Mack in Fourteen Placas From tbs Daily Item, July 9 AIIPO'? Chapel, u hranrh of the A M. E. i Church, situated ?ti the Jordan neighborhood : near ihe point where the public rend crosses i the W. C. A railroad, w?s t lie scene of a diabolical and brutal murder last night be? tween the hours of midnight and 1 a. rn A revival has been in progress at the chape! for several days, or longer, and the religious enthusiasts had reached such a pi Tell that t fie j services were protracted far into the night I But while religion held the hearts and minds ! of some of the congregation, the devil s-ent i Jim Jackson to the seen? with murder in his ! heart and a knife in his pocket. Jackson hud I persuaded the wife of Golden Muck to ieave ' her husband, aud in cor sequence a feeling of j enmity had sprung up between the raeu. Some days ago Mack sent word to Jackson j that be wanted tr> see him about taking his I (Mack's) wife. Jackson went to the chapel j last night to see, so he told ?he officers wbo I went to arrest bim, what Mack wanted and I to hear what he had to s*y. . About 12 o'clock, while the meering was still in pro? gress, Jackson and Mack met ia the chapel yard and soon became involved in a bitter quarrel over Mack's truaut wife. The quarrel was terminated by Jackson, wno broke a stick over Muck's head, then drew his knife and stubbed and slashed him in a horrible manner. On Mack's body there were fourteen wounds; his face was laid o;en, there we;e three deep wounds in the region of the heart, either of which would have caused death, his side3 were laid open by deep slashing stabs and on both thighs were long and deep cuts Dr. Mood*, who made the post mortem examination, testified that, in his opinion, several of the wounds weie inflicted after Mack bad falleu to the ground and life was extinct. Such savage, ferocity on tbe part cf a human being is too horrible to contemplate ; it id equahed oulv by the tiger that rends its victim in ferocious and bloodthirsty rage. After satiating his bloody race, Jackson let the chapel and went at once to his house near the S??W mil! of Mr. J. S. Dinkius, and there he was found ai'-d arrested by Deputy Sheriff Gaillard at an early hour ihie- uiorn iog. The sheriff and coroner were notified of the murder us soon as a messenger could hasten from the scene of the crime to town, and no tiree was lost in taking steps to ap? prehend the murderer, hence Jackson had no time to escape. When Deputy Sheriff Gail lard came up with him. be made a desperate effort to escape to a neaji-y swamp, but was brought to a stand, with hands i:i the air, ny a levelled oistol before he cou id get to cover. JACKSON'S STATEMENT. Jackson said that he came back fro-v. Clar? endon county about two weeks ago and hired to Mr. J. S. Dinkies to work at his saw mill. The first day he had no rations and in the afternoon he sen? w.;rd to Golden Mack and Elle t Mack to cook him ten cents worth of ratio s and send to him. The next I raorniog Ellen Mack came to the mill where he wa* nt work and sai 1 she wanted to s*-e bim. He said to her, "'See me here, I can't leave my work.'' She insisted on his goi? g out to the road j and he followed her, out when she Started up the road he said. "Hold on, where, yon ca.rv ing me? I cte*; go with voa nov ?urtber ! you may tie going to carry me somewhere for j Golden to kill me." Jest then Golden Mack stepped from behind a tree, holding a gun behind his back, and j asked bim if he had seut word to Ellen to j cook rations for him (Jackson.) Jackson replied 'hat he had sent the message, but meint no harm by it, and would t.-eg a thou 9au 1 pardons tf Mack did not like it Mack.said, "El'en is ray wifa and 1 will protec her if my neck is stretched for it " Th-ti Mack ke:-t on talking and threatening to s; oo\ him unless he ga*e him sa'isfaction. j He toid Mack he meant no -harm and was j sorry, nut Mack threw up his gun like he w?s i'oin g to 3hoot. Jus* then Mr. Di-tkins called him to go to work, and he Lft vi?ck and his ?vite iu the road Mr. J. S Diukins. j Mr. VYess Bradford, V r. Tom Hair and Mr. I Tom DuBose were prfsei.t at th? time ! . ypsnrday morning when he was going to ! work in the woods, hauling stock logs, be ! met Golden Mack, who told him he was not I satisfied and that it had to bt setjled, but I neither of them had time to stop ti?en. I Asked Jackson to meet him at Allen's chapel that night. Jackson objected to go;ug, but j fina?y promised to do -so, as Mack said he : wanted to talk the matter over La9t night Jackson went to "be church and I as he did not have on a good pair of shoes ! would not go inside, but w*ct to the window, ! and the first j-ersou he sa?v was Golden j Mack, why Wa3 sitting by tbr window.

Mack kept on trying to get. his hau i ou' and held Jackson t>y the collar Tnen Jackson tear? ing that Mack would shoot cim, drew his knife from his coat pucket with his '.ef; hand, oiened it witu his teeth und commenced cutting Mack. He continued cutting until Mr.ck icoScued his Imld ot? his collar and fell ti the ground Jackson then ran back to tbe lailroed crossing ami walkra from that place to the mi i.
