SENATOR TILLMAn of South Carolina was
the most picturesque and interesting char
acter among the Congressional delegation
that came to Vermont with the remains Of
Senator Morrill,. The arctic wave that was
passing over Vermont on Monday was evil
IDENTIFY of different nature than anything
Senator Tillman had before seen. In the
early morning he walked up street to one
of the drug stores and on his return to the
| Pavilion he was nearly frozen. He re-
marked to Senator Faulkner of West Vir-
ginia that on his way to the hotel every
| man he met was wearing q fur coat and he
came near knocking one of them down and
| taking coat for his own use. Senator
| Tillman was introduced to many of the
prominent men of Montpelier and else
where in the State, and although his err
| rand was sad one he was evidently en-
| joying his first trip among the Green Noun
tains. His SLOUGH hat, lumberman's rub
| bers and careless attire were more suggest
i've OF "pitchforks" than OF Congressional
halls. Representative Bankhead of Ala
bama is another typical Sontherner to
whom Vermont temperature in mid-wnter
was revelation, He is competing with
Congressman Bailey the honor of the lead
ership on the Democratic side Of the Ma
tional House OF representatives. His ready
wit and suave manners very pleasantly i'm
pressed all Vermonters who met him on
Monday for the first time.
A LARGE amount OF business was trans
acted at the regular meeting Of the city

city attorney was instructed to attend to
this. 1t was voted that the city liquor
