Interest in Cannon's Defeat
Senator Tillman's first question
this morning was about the fight in
Washington against Cannon and Can
nonism. He was perfectly delight
ed with the news of the result Of the
fight, and said that it meant two
things, first, that the Democrats can
and will stand together, and that
,, the Democratic party is opposed to
what Cannonism stands for. Sena-
| tor Tillman asked if all the South
Carolina congressman we're on hand
to join in the fight, and when told
that they were, said: "Alnd was Pat
terson able to be there?"
Senator Tillman said that Champ
Clark, the Democratic leader, was a
man Of brain, and he was pleased
with his work. Senator Tillman was
doubtful of the wisdom Of trying to
declare Cannon s seat vacant. It
may prove politics to show the coun-
try that the Democrats are mot re-
sponsible for Cannon, but unless this
be the result, Senator Tillman thinks
the Democrats had better quit when
they adopted the Norris resolution.
AS to Calhoun Speech.
Senator Tillman is exceedingly
sorry that he could not have deiv-
cred an address on Calhoun at the
time of the unveiling of the Calhoun
monument at Washington. Senator
Tillman said he had been working on
this particular address for some time,
and said he would have liked very
much to have given his views on CAL
houn. 1t would have been high
praise Of the man, intense admlra-
ton for the character and intellect,
and Mrs. Tilman added, personal
purity, but it would have been crit
ical and unsympathetic Of the views
and doctrines Of tCalhoun.
Has Completed "reminiscences.
Senator Tillman has recently COM
pleted a series Of personal remini-
SCIENCES. They deal largely Of the
times about 1876, and Senator Till
man discussed their final preparation
and distribution, and he hopes soon
to he able to do more Of this kind of
work.
Senator Tillman was very much
concerned about Senator Daniel, OF
Virginia. He expressed his uttei
disgust at what he understood was
the the Virginia assembly holding
over to see him die. He thought
Senator Daniel the greatest Virgin
ian of the day, and it was rather ug-
ly, as he viewed it for the general as
sembly of the State to chang around
waiting for a Senator to die.''
Loves His Farm.
'Now Joe, don't forget to put the
sheep in the rye. Don't you forget
it, but do it right away" That was
the parting injunction of Senator
Tillman to his old colored servant
who had brought the luggage on the
Pullman. The old colored man Went
away smiling and promising to see
that the sheep had a Sunday frolic
in the rye patch.
There is point to this little story.
Since his return from Europe Sen-
ator Tillman's interest i'm farming
has returned with intensely renewed
activity. When at Trenton he has
devoted himself early and late to the
management Of all the petty details
of plantation life. A couple of
weeks ago, when he realized that he
Was recovering from his illness, an
overwhelming desire to- be back on
the farm seized him in spite of the
advice Of his doctors, against the
wishes of his family, he returned 10
Trenton last week. Once On the farm
he threw himself into the active man
iagement of his place with his old
ardor and vim. In a few days, how
ever, he himself was the first to rec
ognize that he was everlasting mis-
nervous and physical force, and that
his advisers, who had counselled eau
ton, were correct. This explains the
sudden resolution to visit the san1-
tarium in Atlanta, where he has for
merly secured rest, a dietary and
treatment suitable to his require
