"Confidentially, the appropria- th

tor Martin, after making these vol- h<
untary statements and pledges to se
me, became a member of the steer- ei
ing committee which has given him tl:
my chairmanship. Fairness and de- m
cency, it seems to me, required him cc
to notify me of his change of mind vi
and attitude towards me. He never k<
at any time, expressed any uneasi- it
ness about my health to me. Had I
he done so, his conduct would not tc
seem so despicable." d?
This is the feature that stands pi
out more prominently tliau anything m
else in a statement issued to the ui
press here today by Senator Till- pi
man, this statement being in the d<
speech he made before the senate w
caucus last Saturday on the ques- si
tion of committee assignment and
the seniority rule, when he was refused
the chairmanship of the committee
on appropriations. ^
REFERS TO SERVICE.
Senator Tillman then refers to ht
the fact of his long service for the sii
Democratic party and also to the af
fact that he made his first speech in c-li
the senate, which has been desig- ,1,.
nated as "The Pitchfork Speech," si?
before Bryan made his entitled the m
"Cross of Gold." I
Citing later events in the his- th
tory of the party and the part he ca
took in them, ho says he preached w?
the true gospel ami had as much to ra
do with the success of what is now y,
called "progressiveness" as Ilryan be
himself. That term, properly inter- w<
preted in its essence, he says, is the in
Chicago platform and nothing else, ou
He declared that he did not ask <ia
for sympathy, but for justice, that yo
he wanted what he was entitled to, tli
and nothing more. He then sub- Wi
mitted a copy of a letter to Wood row m
Wilson under date of January 21,
1913, telling of the work of the dif- to
fereut committees and asking I'res- w|
ident Wilson for his advice as to |<i
which chairmanship he should se- ca
cure. The reply Is as follows: vi
T
tied to and desired; and he lias i
jver notified me that he had I |
langed his feelings or purposes. [
