Senatorial spats.

In the senate since the Foote- Benton
foot race of more than half century
ago there have been several actual
fights, with some little bloodshed. but
no fatalities. Two of the most notable
of such affairs took place in 1902 The
first was between Senators Tillman and
McLaurin, both of South Carolina, who
celebrated Washington's birthday by a
rough and tumble fight in open session
Of the senate. Tillman had accused
McLaurin of having voted for the
Spanish war treaty in exchange for
with rage, arose and declared that the
statement was "a willful and deliber-
ate and malicious lie"
Senator Tillman did not pause for re-
Election. He took a flying leap over

McLaurin in turn landed on Tillman's
countenance, Mr.. Layton, the assist

rate the combatants, getting few
hard ticks himself Senator Teller and
others finally assisted the official in
parting the two principals. Tillmau

Not So Fierce Nowadays,
Before the civil war the beIligerency
OF congressman was even more fierce
than since. In the heat Of debate over
the slavery question and its kindred
problems members now and then drew
revolvers and threatened to shoot In
those days the dueling code furnished
an outlet to pent-up wrath. Several
duels were fought between members of
congress growing out OF words passed
on the floor.
II Is a happy circumstance that prac-
tically all of these legislators who fight
when they lose their tempers feel very
very sorry afterward and manage TO
make up and be good friends

Is Oratory a Drawback7

The great orators have not been the
most fortunate aspirants for the presi
dency. Webster, Clay, Douglas and
Blaine were idolized by their follow
ers, not only for their abilities and
personal traits, but also for their per-
suasiye powers of speech. Horace
Greeley. candidate Of the Democrats
and Liberal Republicans In 1872, was
not a notable orator, but was none the
less an effective talker. He made q
speaking tour In the latter part OF the
campaign, and, although his position
was an anomalous one, he acquitted
himself with credit, even IL he was
Overwhelmingly defeated. Tiiden, who
in bis free soil days made speeches,
obtained his mastery by his pen, not
by his tongue. Grant, who was called
the silent man because he could not
make speech when he FIRST became a
candidate, learned to speak very well
in public. his speech for Garfield in
1880 being good example Of his de.
