rillman Made A Speoeh At A
Lexington Barbecue.
.{coord, 21st inst.
At a barbecue givon over in
Lexington yesterday Senator Till nan
was present and made a
>peoch. Naturally the people expected
biin to say something about
pis free pass experience, but he
lid uot pretend to make any denial
o.f the fact that ho used thorn ..
aor did he attempt to explain how
t was that he accepted free trans*
portution from railroads. He
jontenied himself by saving that
he whole thing was an eager I v
O O J
; rasped opportunity to attack him
?n the part of his enemies, ospocaliy
the newspapers, adroitly
ivoiding any explanation of his
violation of the law of the state in
laving passes "forced'' on him.
Jthorwiso the senator talked on
aational politics and disagreed
with his colleague, Senator Lati<?
mer, on his scheme to have a largo
appropriation from the government
for good roads building be-,
sans? it was impracticable.
Congressman Lover also spoke
and took a similar position to Sen
ator Tinman on tlio good roads
movement. ilc favored good
roads as much as anybody, but
agreed with Senator Tillman that
Latimer's scheme couldn't be carried
out." Senator L itim?r spoke
and defended his plan for having
a government appropriation for
roads.
There was a largo crowd present
and all the speakers had an attentive
hearing and were liberally
applauded, though there was no
great amount of enthusiasm displayed.
The occasion was an enjoyable
one, it is said, to all who
attended.
