Tillnsn: 81 want you to show him

Up to this time Governor TAllman
had in his brief talk been working his
audience up to good pitch of enthu.
siasm. He himself was much worked
up. Show him where you stand, he
cried out. Show him WHO has this
crowd. Now, up with your hands, and
then up went about two thirds of the
hands in the audience, amidst wild
hurrahs for Tillman. Ttllman had
the crowd. He saw 1t. His friends
saw that. Then to add to the victory
he said: Now those of you for Butler
raise your hands. a few did so, others
perhaps did not care to participate at
all, and others were not inclined to do
Governor Tillman's bidding.
