DEMOCRATS STAND FOR
THE OMNIBUS BILL
Reject Compromise Plan Including the Two-
State Proposition.
CHANCE FOR STATEHOOD LEGISLATION
Chairman of Committees on Postoffiees and Agriculture
Will Be Asked to Withdraw Omnibus Bill as a Rider
on the Two Appropriation Bills-Republicans
Will Present a Compromise Bill to Senate.
Washington, D. C., Feb. 24.—The demo-
cratic senatorial caucus has rejected the
two state proposition for the ac Amission
of new states submitted bv the republi-
cans. The matter of further negotiations
wus left with the demorrutlc members
of the committee on postoffiees which has
charge of the appropriation bill, with the
statehood rider. The object is to ascer-
tain whether there is a majority of the
senate willing to vote for the rider upon
the bill, Chless thiro is an assurance of
uuccess the democrats will not vote for
he rider. The democrats will not ac-
cept anything on the basis of two states.

Hon Sidney Clarke said: "The comni

was a gold brick performance. It bad
not even the merit of any ordinary con
lldence game. It is the purpose of A1
rich, Beveridge and Hanna to defeat
statehood for all of the territories for the
next few years. They do not want any
more Western senators, either republicans
or democrats to interfere with the ring
rule through which they control the sen-
ate. They are as much opposed to Ok

Senator Quay says that since the cau-

not to support the statehood bill, as a rid-

Reverting to the president's utterance
that he was unwilling to shut the door
of hope and opportunity In the case of
a worthy and competent colored man. Mr
Tillman said at llrat blush there is not
a man alive who would not agree with
that sentiment, but he Inquired if It ever
occurred to anyone that In opening that
door of hope It might not be shut in the
face of the white man. The door of
hope In South Carolina, he said, at one
time had been closed by bayonets to the
whites while misgovernment ran riot, with
abnominatlon in the sight of man pre-
siding over the state. He declared that
he did not hate the negro and that all
negroes are not bad.
"I beg. fo- Clod's sake." he said, facing
the republican aide, "not to produce an
acute stage of hatred which will bring
the two races together with the resolve
of the whites to die in order to Retain
their supremacy."

alwavs took great pains to quote every-
thing be said that was •hot." having out
everything that was rational, decent and
sane, in their pursuit of sensations, and
In this respect a great wrong had been
done him.
Mr. Tillman spoke for three hours. He
was followed by Mr. Carmack of. Tenne-
ssee. who said the action of the president
In the Indianola case was not in accord
with reason. Justice or the constitution.
lde said that if the ( losing of the Indian-
ola post office Is to be taken as the meas-
ure of the strength of the executive and
the power of the federal government,
then the government at Washington de-
serves to be despised for its weakness
and Imbecility. The postofflce belonged,
he said, to the United States, and he In-
quired if a handful of ruffians

After the adjournment of the caucus J

to ask the chairman of the two commit-

committees have placed on two appro-

generally admit that there Is no chance
for success at this time.
