TJIJMAN AT CHICAGO.

One of the most exciting episodes In
the national Democratic convention
was the debate on Thursday between
Tillman and Hill on the currency is!
sue. The press report is as follows:
Senator Ben Tillman Of South Car
olina, mounted the stage to open the
great debate in behalf of free coinage.
A striking figure he was rs he faced
the audience. With no pretensions
in dress, shabby coated, wearing q
a heavy silver chain across his breast,
he instantly drew the eyes of the
&c, 900 people present. They turned
toward him as if be we're an antago-
mist. His thickset, commanding form
was full of defiance. His head,
thrown back, was round and compact
His features strong and powerful, were
cast in a classic mould. The nose was
straight, the lips thin and compressed
the jaw square and pugnacious, but the
sunken cavity which marked his LETT
eve gave to his face a sinister express
sion. 1t was a face once seen never
to be forgotten. On one lapel OF his
coat he wore q Cuban flag, on the
other pitchfork.
One moment the 10000 people held
their breath. Fhen they broke forth.
Cheers, mingled with Kisses, rent the
air. Mr.. Richardson, who was WELD
ing the gavel, with the aid of the as
sistant sergeant-at-arms, suddenly sup:
pressed the demonstration. His first
sentence showed that he had q good,
we'll modulated voice, but as he pro-
ceeded he pitched it in key so shrill
that it grated like file. 1t was char.
acteristic from the beginning.
Tillman realized that 80 far as the
galleries were concerned, he faced an
audience which he felt was largely
hostile. He introduced himself to
them by saying that he came before
them as he was; not as "the lying
newspapers had represented him to be.
A round of applause greeted this an
