Senator Tillnan's great speech In

has been fearfully misrepresented
and the Senator himself hss besc

Julian Howthorne says OF Tillnan'S
great speech in the Ssnate. In writ

Hawthorne says:

But sne longer he kept silence ,ahe
more conviDced did those who know
his character feel, that, when his
time came, be would make himself

EVERY SEAT FILLED.
Accordingly, when 1t was run orea
this morning tbst he would aoorsss

was filed, and the crowds dn the COZ

The Senssors themselves found 1t
convenient to lesve thsic chat,ings
and intrigues In tbs lobby and com

dignation and insight to which not
