WHITFIELD’S SPEECH.
Col. Robert Whitfield followed Mr.
Cabanlss, and when Mayor Boyd pre
sented him to tile audience he was
roundly cheered. After the applies*!
had died away Ool, Whitfield began by
paying a glowing tribute to Spalding’s
loyal Democrats.
“I have been challenged by the rep
resentative of this district.” said Col.
Whittled dramatically, "to show tor
what reason I am hla opponent In this
race fur the Democratic nomination for
congress, i uni a candidate because I
have a laudable ambition,” said he. "I
only ask fair consideration at your
hands In your primaries, and the Dem
ocratic party cannotistlford to act but
fairly."
Col. Whitfield referred to the manner
In which *the primary was conducted in
Upson county several days ago In se
vere terms.
The speaker then jocularly referred
to Bibb's Innumerable usplmnts. "The
Telegraph,” eahl Mr. Whittleld, "claims
Atkinson for gubernatorial honors, and
If It is to be taken as authority, she
will then have the next United States
senator, and then In her extreme mod
esty she will claim, if the amendment
is passed, a seat on the supreme bench,
und ask 10 have the world served to
her on a silver stiver.”
This was greeted with applause and
laughter which lasted for several min
utes.
Mr. Whitfield then asserted If he was
defeated he would be at the service of
his |«rty and do everything In his pow
er for the success of the Democratic
party.
Mr. Cabanlss' record was then fsken
up by Mr. WhIUle'.d. who said that Mr.
Cabanlss had said that the platform de
clares the Sherman law a tr.akesMf'
and should be repealed. "Did they re
peal it?" naked Mr. Whittleld testily.
“When my friend voted on that ques
tion he .declared to the Washington cor
respondent of the Constitution that* It
would be followed by subsequent legis
lation. On what foundation did he pre
dicate that opinion, I ask?"
Mr. Whitfield insisted that the de
pression In the money market was not
attributable to the Sherman law, but
to Republican legislation. "Diploma
cy," add the speaker, "la the slowest
method on earth to accomplish any
thing. England will never agree with
this country on the question of mono-
metallsm. I agree wl.h my friend that
everybody wants an honest dollar, but
If 'one nppeurs to be Impracticable now
why not try another.
"Are Democrats »o weak,” cried he,
"that they cannot frame a bill of that
kind?*’
■Mr. Whitfield then referred to the fer-
tilit of American soil and the prosperity
of her people and thut we would never
ask anything at the hands bt France,
Germany or any other country.
"There are not many Democrats,” Mr.
Whitfield raid, "who question the pro
priety of an income lax. I favbr un
hesitatingly the repeal of the 14 per
cent, tax on stnlte banks."
"Where do you get your Income tax
fiom?” cried a Populist In the audience.
"Why. from tile Demtocratlc party
away back before the war,” was Mr.
Wbiiaeltl'a prompt rejoinder. This was
followed bv tumultuous applause. Sev
eral questions of similar character were
pounded the speaker, who always te
as the t ,, ’ "‘►Dtcy bin was before the
house, hnffi. '\y had no quorum the
house a tj lU.TPg, ’• ay? Because my
friend and othes absent looking

Mr. Cabanlss. I want It di»;inctf.y un

though I don't think Mr. Cleveland is
unerring, I will never .repudiate ‘him
as some Democrats have done. Mr.
Cleveland is the first president we
have had in thirty years, and I will
never raise my voice or hand to cut
him down."
•Mr. Bartiett again referred to Mr.
Cabaniss* record, and said: "My friend
voted against every issue that the
Georgia delegation voted for, except
one." (He then read from the Congres
sional! Record the stand that Mr.
niss took on the silver bill.)
With. gVeat emotion- Mr. Bartlett
said: Mr. Cleveland represents
tne people of this whole nation,
but you, sir, represent the people of
the Sixth congressional district, and
you should have voted according to
their wishes. (Applause.) You voted
for a ratio of 16 to 1, and the Grifiln

weights and measures, Mr. Cabanlss
voted no.
"x tud desired to discuss the Popu
list platform," continued ihe speaker,
"but my fnend fta3 laid the cha.lenge
before me and I will reply to him.”
Referring to the Upson primary, Mr.
Bartlett said that the Democrats of
Upson were as true and brave as could
be found In this state, and that If any
negroes voted in mat primary that -he
was not aware of it; save, perhaps, CHe
two that voted for Mr. Cabanlss In one
of the districts.
Judge Hines came In for a bluer de
nunciation at the hands of Mr. Bart
lett, who referred to the Populist can
didate for governor in caurfilb terms.
Bo gret was the appiause taa: foJ.owvd
that It was several minutes before Mr.
Bartlett could proceed.
In his concluding remark3 he said:
”1 propose to carry out if nominated
every pledge In the Democratic plat
form, and when the party requires me
to step down I will be in the ranks.
1 wound rather ^hat tne Democratic
party should be successful than to rep
resent in is or any other district in
congress.”
Mr. Bartlett's peroration was elo
quent in the extreme, and his appeal
for Democratic harmony elicited un
stinted applause.
At the conclusion of Mr. BartTett’s
speech Mayor Boyd announced that
Mr. Cabanlss -would conclude, and
woukl be allowed forty minutes. Mr.
Cabanlss was warmly greeted by his
friends as he arose, and It was plainly
evident that he was thoroughly
warmed up. 1 _

Washington, July*18.—'The conferees
met again ut 2 o'clock. Within a very
few minutes afterward Senator Voor*
hees announced that it was apparent
that the two houses were unable to
agree and it had ben decided to report
a general disagreement. The Jlepuull*
cans stood uo for ’he bill as did the
Democrats, while tits house held out
for their bill, and It was formally de
cided that the disagreement should be
reported to their respective houses.
Before this was done Mr. Wilson,
chairman of the cbn.mlttee on ways and
means, stated that if they could get to
gether on coal, inm ore and sugar ne
believed they could fix up an agree
ment that would to? satisfactory to both
houses. Mb proposition looking to this
end and the action here indicated wus
taken.
The whole thing was over in a few
minutes. Mr. WlHon stated after the
conference that he would make the re
port to the house tomorrow morning.
During the informal discussion in the
committee room h» was asked by Sena
tor Jones h‘ow ltng the house would
probably keep the bill, whereupon Mr.
Wilson replied that he thought the con
ferees would be Instructed to Insist upon
the house bill and the conferees would
be sent back within two hours.
Thu same question was then put to
Senator Jones, and he *3ld that the ac
tion of the senate would depend upon
the action of the house. If tfie house
insisted upon heaping t'oala of fire on
tne heads of the .senate conferees and
assailing them a would be very likely

The Indian Approprlatlbn Bill Occ'jpled
the Se**ion Yesterday.
Washington, July 18.—In the absence
of the vice president, who haa gone to
hlk home in Bloomington, Ill., the sen
ate was presided over today by the
president pm tern, Mr. Harris.
The Indian appropriation bill was
taken up. As It passed the houi»e It ap
propriated $6.73.1.518; as reportetl to the
senate from the committee on appropri
ations It is increased $2,535,868, making
nn aggregate of $9,327,386, as agilnst
$7,854,240 for the fiscal year 1894. It was
taken up at 1 b’clock p. m. and was con
sidered until 6. when it went over with
out final action until tomorrow. It ap
propriates about $9,500,000, or $1,500,000
more than ttte amount appropriated for
the fiscal year 1894. The bill gave rise
tb very little discussion, that little being
on the subject of the education of the
Indian children, and of the dispropor
tionately large share of the money
trhich hr- ;r-n- in recent y*» nrf| to the
Catholic church. No change was made
In those provisions of tlie bill, $1,000,000
being appropriated for the aupp >rt cf
Indian uay and irdusiriai «ohoc!* an:,
ftor other educational purposes. All the
committee amendments ware disposed
of and the only obstacle to Its final pas
sage was the offering of independent
amendments and the discussion to
which' they gave rise.
With the passage of the Indian bill
there will be only two bther appropria
tion bills left to be passed by the sen
ate, and those two have been reported
from ihe committee on appropriations.
They arc the sundry civil bill and the
deficiency bill. Ttu conference tepbrt
on the naval appropriation bill was pre
sents! ar.d agreed to. Several bill* were
passed. Including one io encourage tho
reclamation of arid lands and rhelr cul
tivation and sale in small tracts to ac
tual settlers.
After a ohort executive session th#
set.ut-j at 6:15 adjourned until t unorrow.

books of the director or xae mint, if
the books of tne director do not show
this Information ;htn the tacts are co
be siaieJ from xhe best knowledge and
reco?.ec;ion from the director of che
mint and hla employes. Tne reason
for the resolution I* here given 4n hla
own words:
'T-nera is a big bunco game going on
down South, and I want to see who
is in it. Within the past few days I
have received Intelligence from Ala
bama last Mr. Oates' auppotiera there
are exhibiting silver dollar* from ttte
minting of 1»94, with a view to per
suading tne people of that ilii* that
the administration is favorable to free
sHver, and that It Is coining sliver dol
lar*. On Monday of this week I called
upon Mr. Preston, the director of the
min;. a<rU asked him how many silver
dollars nod oeen struck off this year.
He replied that ihe number was 406;
tno-t these were proof pieces; that rhey
were struck V»ff to prove the new dies,
which are changed each year, and not
for t.ie purpose of cliN!ig»a;lon. 1 asked
Mr. iTes:on to w'hom these pieces had
been sold. He replied that a number
of persona had bough; tnem. among
them some senators and representa
tives. I asked permission to buy five,
and was told that I could have them.
Now,” Mr. Pence went on, ”whst I
am trying iu *e. si Is the us# wMeh
is -being made of tneie silver doilsrs
by the wfor.-said senators and repre
sentatives. If my advices from the
bouth are correct, they or# being used
in Alabima to assist Mr. Oates* can
didacy for xhe governorship. If certain
newspaper statements are to be be
lieved they are being used In Georgia
and Arkansas 4n ‘he interest of the
Democratic party also. If this 4a the
cose, I am desirous of ending suc^*

can) of Indiana being tho managers on
the part of the house. Mr. Hatch prom- |
Ised to take the sense of the bill be
