Washington, March 7.-A man who lives in Barnwell county and who has been spending the last week in New York, arrived in Washington today. and said that during the time he was In New York there was little else talk ed about in hotel lobbies and other public places but Tillman. 'I neveri saw anVthing like it in my life.'' he said. "no matter where I went it seemid that Tillman was the only thing and only man talked about. New York is a large city. and there are many men of prominence there. but during the time I spent in that place I am sure I heard more of Tillman than anything else-so much in fact. I that sometimes I thought I must be in some South Carolina town. His recent actions in the senate have set the public eye on him as nothino else could have done, and I believe-he is more talked about today than any other man of the United States-the present occupant of the White House not excepted. "In one of the largest hotels of New York I came up to a group of men gathered from all sections of the United States, and the concensus of opinion seemed to be that if Tillman hailed from any.-other section than the- south there would be the strong est possibility of his receiving the next democratic nomination for pres ident. There were none in the crowd who disputed that he had shown him self .to be one of the brainiest men in the senate and that he now occupi6s a high place in the public eye. It was agreed also by the crowd in the lobby that if Tillman could remove his citizenship to New York, or per haps some western state, he would stand as good a chance as any other democrat to be the next occupant of the White House."
