Tillman Tangled.

Senator Tillman, usually so shrewd,

course Of time might have been ex-

that it was the work of impulse Of
the mo,nent-tEat It was done in
obedience to the opportunities of
overzeslous and misguided friends.
This letter, however, must be CON
sidereG in connection with his con-
temporareoas acts in order to apprs-
ciate the full force and effect Of his
offending The public will remember
that just before the publication OF
the Letter there appeared all unsigned

self, in which he reiterated what he
had said in Washington a day or SO
before. to wit, that he had had moth.
ing to do with the fight between
Evans and Earle up to that time and
did not intend to take a hand in it.
The unsigned appeal, it turns out,
was also written by Tillman. Here
he is detected in the basest of dupli-
city With one hand he seeks to do
by indirection and under cover what
with the other he openly declares he
does not intend doing. Before the
ink was scarcely dry on these two
contradictory papers he indltes the
