were 'Tillman's words, but that was
the line OF his argument. 1t was
strong of the personal equation. Be
licving that the people before him be.
liGvcd III him, he wanted TO impress ul,
them that they could not consistently
believe in Mclaurin, too. McIMurin
realized that Tillman was throwing the

! against him, rather than ncadrmicalIy
arguing the wisdom or unwis,lom OF
| the policies of expansion, subsidies,
Mckinlcy's war policy, ETC., AMI that
he was trying to force, McLlllrin to
resign, and argue these questions in a
! fight for office. Mclaurim took the
! position that III an oil-ycar was the
! best time 10 debate these questions Of
party policy. He was ready to argue
| the questions on their merits before
the people and let them decide fol
themselves from the argument whcth
cr they were undcmocratic. He want
ed Il claim debate marked by Sen
atorlal courtesy. In the effort to kill
the effect o! Tillman's demands upon
him to resign, he pointed out that Till
man had said nothing about rcsigniny
himself, in case the people endorsed
Mclaurn. That it was very easy for
him to SIT with his new commission for
| six Yeas in his inside pocket, and from
this hombproof fire at McLn1lrin about
