It is not an ur common thing for Senator Til. man to denounce rairoads an snmilar corporations with hi pockets bulging with their cou rt( sies-the very thuings which hi claimed 'bamnuboozied and~ d( oauched" such men as H1e good and Hampton. The. s(I' ator should have a right to d as lhe pleases, did he not go int market and without a scratch ( a pen have extended to him pe1 sonally, a credit amounting t over #200.' 00. when the Stat could get no credit?

Then if lhe could (1o thies things, and did these things-] said lhe did. why should lie 1. condemned for ta ki ng free pa sse and anything else is Ianec grasps? The senator fanned the llamen of political excitement by chars ing some of our former governot with obtaining State priopert and lo. and behold. it has beo charged that he too obtainedi Stat pr'0e)rty and when asked abor the quantity, his reply was don't know and don't care." an up) went a shout of applroval from the throats of men who claimie it to be a religious duty to scratc Tilhnan's name froml a t ickc when he hi a d no oppositior These men feted and dined lhi when only a short while befor they were dienouneing himt for al kinds of a villian.
