unique personality into the debate, his speech
being the first of any length since his mem
orable maiden effort attacking public Off
cials. high and low. While he spoke today the
silver fork recently presented to him In the
West was conspicuously displayed on his
scarf. The senator used the blunt words
characteristic Of his utterance, arraigning the
president and cabinet officers with unsparing
criticism and personal invective. He also ad-
dressed himself personally to Mr.. Hill and Mr..
Sherman, and drew from the former sharp re-
joinders. while Mr.. Sherman declined to be
brought into a controversy with the South
Carolina senator
Mr.. Butler Pop., N. C.) presented a bill

South Carolina senator added he came from
a state that supported and followed him, and
that he could place its vote where he de-
sired. "And you can't say as mucn!' he
asked Of Mr.. Hill.
Mr.. Hill blandly inquired If Mr.. Tillmar
meant to say that he could carry the great
state of South Carolina into Populisn1. Mr.
Tillman replied that he meant to say he rep
resented his state, and could tell where 1t
was going and how IL would vote, and, turn
ing to Mr.. Hill, said savagely: And that's
more than you can do. The people of South
Carolina have not yet been oamboozled ard
debauched."
Then, again addressing Mr.. Hill. he declared
