CarmacIS's Rejoinder.
L was not in the chamber in the early
part Of the speech made by the Senator
from South Carolina" he said. 7 heard.
/ however. that the Senator had INDUCED
in some personal remarks affecting his
| colleagues and associates here. I got the
reporters notes on that part Of his
speech. believe that no Senator here
has given more frequent nor seyerer
provocation for retort than the Senator
from South Carolina has done. and no
/ Senator has complained more often or
more bitterly Of having been made the
victim of offensive remarks. No Senator
. upon either side of this chamber has ever
made remarks about the Senator from
. South Carolina as studiously offensive
as the Senator from South Carolina. with
out any provocauon whatever, has seen

Teller Declined to Yield,
While delivering himself of this de-
nunciation, Mr.. Carmack stood directly
behind Mr. Tillman who sat in his char
acteristic attitude, low down in his chair.
As the Tennessee Senator concluded. the
south CaTolinian sprang up and faced
him. and the people in the galleries craned
forward with obvious expectations OF
more startling developments Mr.. Till
man, without addressing the chair. said
something about an explanation. The
Vice President asked if the Senator from
Colorado yielded to the Senator from
South Carolina
