If Properly Asked.

Hon. Geo. D. Tillman has not given
his views on the subject Of the Speak
ership, but would no doubt do so if
properly asked. We venture to say
that he has wise and statesmanlike
reasons for preferring Mr.. Randall,
and that he would not have to repeat
any of Mr.. Dibble's arguments, when
testifying to the faith that is in him.
