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.

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. Such distinguished physical s

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.
Dr. J. C Miller of Uirno, Barn?
well county, has been made a mem?
ber of the county board of control
in the place of Mr. J 0 Hunier,
who resigned in order to become a
candidate for the legislature
The board adjourned last night al?
ter the shortest session it has
yet held. The members have be?
come accustomed to their work, and
can dispose of matters much quicker
than formerly. They will all leave
the city today, as the small
army of whiskey drummers did yes
terday.-The State.

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 asked him ?f he had come tu sertie that
! inaner, ar.d reaching down nuder the seat
j g?>f .-stick and came outside He a<.d Mack
j wa'kfd up the road a short distance, and
j ihe;> began tu bttk. Mack began lo curse
? and say thai he had to have satisfaction
j Jackson told Mack ihai he h-id given him
I all the Satisfaction he k -ev/ ?iud could UOt
! bumble himself any more; :ha: Mack seeenied
j to want to trent billi ?ike 'i !ir;it: child.
; Mack ?hen dren," i?sck his stick, but before he
j could strike Jackson, the Utter caught it and
j ia the tussle it was broken. Mack threw
i aw.'.v the piece of stick lett in his har:d and
? ran one hand iu;;de of his coat, ai the sa ?ie
I time grasping Jackson in thc- collar.
Jackson caught hold cf Mack's hand and
would no; let bini gel it out of bis co?l -
asking why he wanted to shout him. 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
