SENATOR TILLMAN AT CLEMSON. Mokes Speech to Gradu?tes of the in stitution-Affecting Scone. The graduating exorcises ot Clom Bon College, which took place Tues day of last week, were of unusual in terest. Tho events wore the splendid address to the graduating class hy Dr. James K. Patterson, of tho Uni versity of Kentucky; the powerful speech of Allin Johnstone to the grad uates, tho eloquent short speech of W. ?. Evans In presenting the trus tees' medal for oratory to M. W. Call, of Marlon; tile remarkable ovation given Senator Tillman when he pre sented tho D. K. Norris modal, given to tho best all-round man In the grad uating class to A. M. Salley, of Or angeburg. The exorcises wore most gracefully presided over President Riggs, who seems to be the right man in the right place-at the head of Clemson. The graduating class this year con sisted of eighty-seven young mon, who go out into tho world well equip ped for tho battle of lifo. The col lege has closed the best year, in many respects, in its history. Senator B. R. Tillman was present and made a spoech to tho graduating class. One of the most notable Incidents of tho day was the affecting scene when Senator Tillman stood walting for the applause to subside, covering his face 'with his hands to hide the tears, and in a voice choking with ! emotion began a characteristic speech, in which he told ot hoing for bidden by his physician to make an address. He reviewed lils career briefly, telling of tho vision he had in 1885 when he offered resolutions nt-tho Grange mooting In Bennetts ville, which were defeated, calling fo. a dopartinent of agriculture at the South Carolina University, and of his subsequent letters advocating the establishment of a separate agricul tural college. Ile said few men lived to realizo their dreams, but lie' had lived to see moro at Clemson and Winthrop than ho had ever dreamed. There wore occasional Hashes of the old-time fire and force in tho Sena tor's address, and the audience list ened in rapt attention. Never has such an ovation been given a man at Clemson as greeted the Senator when hi-, seemingly unwillingly, sat down. He stood tho fatigue of speaking very well, and seemed supremely happy. Senator Tillman spoke as follows: "Ladies and Gentlemen; My phy sician has forbidden me to make a speech, hut I cannot, on this occa sion, refrain from expressing to you my great pleasure at being here, and, above all, to return to you thanks for the heartiness of your welcome. 1 shall not take long, but there are some things, I think, ought to be said, and If my strongth holds out 1 will attempt to say them. Our honorable president of the board of trustees has spoken of Mr. Clemson's dream and of his vision years ago. I also had a dream and a vision, and will tell you of lt. In 1885, twenty six years ago the 5th day of next Au gust, I attended the joint meeting of the State Grange and State Agricul tural Society at Bennettsvllle, In Marlboro county. I offered a serios of resolutions there, which were not adopted by tho meeting, but the speech I made on tb ls occasion met with such a spontaneous outburst of approval from tho assembled farmers of the State, that I felt sufllclently encouraged to march forward along the lino I had marked out. "That fall I wrote a series of let ters for the News and Courier, which was then the leading paper of the State and reached almost every fartn hou.^e. In these articles I advocated a different education from that which we had in the State. I urged tho establishment of a separate college, although the Bennettsvllle resolu tion had only demanded that the Legisjature establish a department in the University of South Carolina Which would he devoted to agricul ture and mechanical arts, and to which women would he admitted. 1 have seen the time when I would en joy very much talking to you. I have addressed thousands and hun dreds of thousands of my fellow-cltl zen.s in th. and other States, and enjoyed the stimulus of a large audi ence, hut my mind will not respond to my will as it once did. "I will go on*and tell you about my vision. 1 dreamed that there ought, to be a college for boys and girls that would equi)) them for tho hattie of lifo-ft college where tho studies would be not only Latin and Greek and the calsslcs, hut such ns would prepare a man to make his bred and butter. I had a vision not of this school, but of something like lt; not of Winthrop, but something Uko lt. I did not droam that this school would become what it Is. I attended the commencement at Winthrop last week and saw 700 young women, your sisters, your sweetheart?. Well, ls there anything more to say? Thoy were there tn full force and were the prettiest things I over saw or evor expect to see again. It ls not often thal a man ls allowed to live mid to see his dreams como true, and to my fellow members of the board of trus tees and my co-workers lu the State is duo my realization of those dreams. "Now, young men, I had the good sense and tho good luck to find a good woman who was willing to bitch up with me and who lias trotted down tho road of life with me ever since. I consider my marriage tho greatest piece of luck I ever had. I want to say to you that if you will go and do likewise you ought to bo successful, for there is nothing in tho world, so inspiring ns tho lovo of a good, puro woman. "But I must proceed to do what I came out hore for, and If Albert Mc Michael Salley will como up on the rostrum I will award to him the medal. Mr. Salley, I wish you would put lt on and lot us see how hand some you look. Now turn yourself around, for there are some girls up yobder who wish to see you. In pre senting you this medal I want to have a few words to say about how you got it and whence it came.- Since I have been boro my mind has been busy thinking about tho mon who have helped us plan and work for this college. Three of them aro no more. I speak of the lifo trustees, Col. D. K. Norris, Hon. R. E. Bowen and Capt. John E. Bradley. These trustees have ceased their labors and havo crossed that bourne to which we are all hastening, "You are not near onough to lt to realize or consider it as yet, but I will soon bo there and join these men. Col. D. K. Norris was a man who loved the college and worked for lt day and night. While ho was a trustee ho helped to plan and build lt, and ho as much as any other trus tee did his full duty to bring about the results which you soo about you.

"And now, young friends, I want to ask you to take homo to your par ents my greetings, and say to them that Clemson College hns made you what you are; that lt bas afforded you the opportunity to develop your highest powers. If, tn after lifo, you will climb to the top of the ladder, that ls all I ask. - It Is ?\?t 'glV?n to every man to succeed. All men can't ho Senators or Governors, but every man can bo a good citizen, good husband and a good father. And if you will remember this and let lt be an inspiration to you, to your future career, that you wont to Clemson, that you at least learned how to obey orders. Although I have a recollec tion bf April Pool's Day, when some did not, you will always be proud of the fact of your years at Clemson, and if, In after life, when you have climbed high, it can be said, there goos a Clemson boy, a poor boy that Clemson has helped to educate, that ls all I ask of you. I "ask God's blessing on you all." Courses of Graduates. Tho graduating class of Clemson numbered 87, as follows: Four In metallurgy; 18 In the textile de partment; 8 In civil engineering; 18 In mechanical and electrical engi neering, and 44 In agriculture.
