from Georgia, arrived In Washington
this morning and will- tike hla neat

mentioned, and Mr. Walah declared
that he proposed to stand squarely

stated to Governor Northen hla views
upon the tariff and other aattere, and
be could hardly say anything more
along that line. In connection with
the tariff, the new aenator spoke < f the

Warner Sava Ha Knows Nothing of a

Washington. April 8,-SConcernlng the
possibility of a silver convention to be
held In the near future. President A. J-
Warner of the Bimetallic League said
* 0 ^%e report that such a convention
la to be held In Washington at or near
the rime of the arrival of Coley's arm.*.
Is an absurdity. At Last, the Bimetallic
League have nothing to dn with it. I
do not know of any convention of this
kind that la going to be befei here, and
1 do not believe there will be bne. The
Bimetallic League, however, has con
sidered the advisability of a vast silver
convention somewhere In the South, pos-
Sbly In Memphis. No definite arrange-
moats have beta made, however, and
toe time lute not been sat. It Is nbt
even decided that the onvenilon will
be held."

tentlvely to tha debate, but did not join
in It. Ho left the whole onus of the de-
fenee on Friday and Saturday to Dr.
Mlquel and Count Posadowrky. The eec-
retsry of the Imperial treasury has made
many good speeches since he Wat lifted
from obscurity Into his present high of
fice a few months ago. On Friday, how
ever, ha outdid himself and compelled
even his opponents to commend hit readi
ness and keenness.
Herr von KardorfT, the champion of
silver and high tariffs. Interpellated the
government as to the work of the impe
rial currency, rommieslen. He at once
guested that they must resort to on ex
clusively gold currency or rehabilitate
■liver. The 5-mark allver piece, ho Mid,
had a metal value of only 2 marks, and
the allver thalera were worth hardly half
their face value. Unleu the government
Intended to reetore the similarity between
the nominal and real value of thoao coins,
the present thaler and 5-mark piece*
•hould be withdrawn.
Count Kanits, another Agrarian bl-
metalllat, caused much laughter by ray
ing it was a good stroke of buaineso for
the government to coin largely when tb*
market value was so low. Th* difference
between the face and the real values
could be well used to pay port of tb*
debt.
Count Posadowoky In his reply Ignored
the theoretical arguments of tha opposi
tion. lie repudiated the lnelnuation mat
the government proposed to mint 22,000.000
mark* tn allver for the profit of It. The
coin* to be auQtorlaod by tho bill, ho said,
were needed by the merchants and tb*
traders of the empire, and the govern
ment'* decision to satisfy this »--• had
no bearing whatever upon the abstract
rights and wrongs of the problem of tb*
standards. In bl* subsequent remarks on
international currency relations. Count
Fosadowsky disclosed a surprising grasp
of th* subject.

The Conservative and Clerical leaders
In the relchatag blame President von
Letvltaow for assenting to tb* govern
ment's plan to prolong tha session. They
ray that after the adoption of th* bouts*
tax bill there will be no reason for pro
longing the debate, as tb* rest of Dr.
Miquel's programme la doomed to defeat,
and that long densies will fitly empha
sise the significance of th* government’*
reverse. They have directed to make a
concerted effort to clora the session by
April X or 20.
The most conspicuous Mils before tho
Prusilan landtag propose to create pro-
vlnclsl chambers of asrlculture, to reform
th* organisation of th* Protestant state

posal to alter tha railroad fyetetn ha*
alrqgdy received th* assent of th* lower
house. It necessitated th* discharge of
1.100 officials, for whose relief Herr Tbl-
elen, minister of public works, oxpecte
to provide in a special bill. Herr Thlelcn
announced In the landtag that the re
ceipts from th* state railways showed a
surplus <<t 22,000.000 marks abovt tb* ettU
mates. Ths.nnaaclal difficulties of thr
Prussian government have, therefore, van
tailed, and th* treasury Is again free from
all embarrassment. Count Kanits took
advantage of tb* debate on tho elite rail
ways to rail In general against th* gov-
emment's proposal to grant cheaper
rates to working men. Such a concession,
he said, woull merely foster Social Urn.

Columbia, 8. C., April 8.—Governor
Tillman today gave a surprising Inter
view to the press. I read to the gov
ernor an extract from a letter from
a Populist which he had received, in
which the writer aald the only thing
he did not admire about the governor’s
political course *o far was that he did
not have the moral courage to come
out squarely and call himself a Popu
list, I then naked tha governor If he
had seen all the references made to
him by the Northern press us the
Populist governor.
Governor Tillman arose and walked
up and down. Hla eya flashed Are. and
in the most determined manner he
said:
"Ye*, they call me a Fupulie
will tell them that I am the truest rep
resentative of Jeffersonian Democracy
In the lead In American politics today.
Let me tell you, I don't see anything
ahead now but tor the Southern Demo
crats to combine their forces with the
Western Populists and go into the next
national campaign on new party lines’.
The northeastern Democrats and Re
publicans are now together. It Is a
combination of the money Interest*."
The governor then, turning sud
denly and In a somewhat excited and
very forcible manner, said:
T despise Cleveland and hla mug
wumps. lid la no better than the rank
est Republican. He has destroyed tho
Democratic party. The South and
West will be forced now to unite and
have a complete reorganization of
party lines. Tho people who are afraid
of the negro and other questions will
have to coat aside their fears on thoso
scores and come together ou the one
line of fighting the money comblna-
tlon. Cleveland has been working un
der the dictation ot the Now York
bankers and bargaining with them In
ilie manner of the Issue of bonds. He
promised the banks It they would take CL. boLifffit C'r>+h*lex.
them there would be no more legl.M*- ^ nt l_OTroie«e,
tlon on the allver question by ttu* con- ^
gress. Congress passed the seigniorage
ect and he vetoed It, Indicating, the
nature of his bargain with the tank
er*. The whole thing la such a scheme
of robbery that he ought to be im
peached for It. It 1* a shame and a dis
grace. The Idea of this great govern
ment having to beg a lot ot Shylooks
for assistance la so outrageous that
there U not sby language «»*o»
in which to characterize It. Cleveland
la owned, body and soul, by the scoun
drels. He secured his nomination at
Chicago through tho influence ot a
rubsldixc.i press, and what vote* ho
kicked there arter exhausting such
means he bought with promises of
patronafee, which promises l>ave since
been redeemed—the goods have been
delivered. Hla attempt to browbeat
and debauch the senators and repre
sentatives was outrageous In th* ex
treme. If thoee cowardly congressmen
UP there had any appreciation of their
duty to their constituents at nome they
would Impeach him.”
"Consider the farce and treason to
the interests of tho masses of Issuing
blinds under a pretense of Increasing
the gold reserve when the same gold Is
paid In at one window and drawn out
at another with allver certificates. And
to* eante prrceeu can go on until the
•liver oertlflcatra are exhausted and th*
people have to pay the Introm."
“Well, governor, what la yfaur idea
of wbat ought to be done?" was asked.
Th* governor thought far an Instant
and then raid: _
"Well. I’ll tell you. I tElnk that the
allver men of tn* country ought to
meet In convention at Memphis or 8U
Louis and organize a light lu control the
next oungrera. Let th* West and the
South cast aside all questions upon
which they now havo any dlfforencea
and get together. It Is i ffght between
gold und allver. or, poverty and pros
perity. One more word as to Mr. Cleve-
land. I think thut It Is most damnable
and outrageous fat* bring bought up
by thoee bondholders. It la debasing
his hlab office, lie I* abusing bl* pow< r
to dicker with auch people and birtyr
army the people's blood., even upon tho
pretext of flnanntil relief.
"The newiMuera which area snarling
snd snapping at mv Ireels as being a
Populist are tha paid hireling* of his
bosses. I am a Populirt In th* sense
that I am for the people's rights, but
there are many planks In the Populist
platform which I do not Indore -. If
the sliver congressmen will Issue a call
for a silver convention and carry th*
war into Afrlaa and will teach th* blood
sucking gold thieve* a lesson In poli
tics such as they hive net hid since
Jackson's campaign against th* banka
The farmer* of the South and West
will move on to Washington la a solid
body and demand legislation that will
giv* them relief from the grinding lov
erly produced by 0 cents cotton and 20
oents wheat."
