It then occurred to me that to make 1 PuMlc would intereat my contem- 1 poraries and draw from some of them 1 !ndTKribUti0r ?f their ?**?^nces i and thus make a rich and racy collection of Tillmania. I hesitated be- , cause of some allusions to living per- , aons and the impossibility of making comments, except the most insipid, as to current or recent politics, with- , out offense. If such has been given I am truly sorry. The present paper a P?8tscript, consisting of desult- , ory observations. I did not attend the March convention of 1890, because, as already stat- j ed, I feared it would run to- radical , extremes and split the party. But the , Platform struck me as very moderate and admirable in every way, so I gave assurance at once of my hearty approval and support. ^ Somewhat prior to 1890, when the harmers* Movement" was brewing, their meetings were attended by all shades of planters, big and little, them later very . strongly anti-Tillman. It is related that at one of these meetings, Tillman was speaking to a resolution of his, when one of the members exclaimed that he did not understand it, whereupon Tillman called'out: "If you cannot understand that, you are a bigger fool than I took you to be." So characteristic, this \must be true. The Jlouse JouPnafcdf 1892 contains a gross error. On the last night of the session, beirvg December 24, the dispensary amendment came over for approval or rejection. The Journal entry, made by a weary clerk at a late hour, shows me and three othebitter opponents of thp measure as paired for instead of against it. After it was adopted by a vote of 57 to 28,! Josh Ashley and I, in angry disgust,' left the chamber and went to bed! under the same cover, sadly dejected.! I have been credibly informed that not long afterwards Tillman called in Josh and said to him: "I want .you to give me the names of some of your friends for me to appoint them as dispensary constables," to which Josh replied, "I have no friend so damn degraded as to take such an appointment." What a gorgeous rejoinder! Apropos of the silver issue. In the old days when it was flagrant, John G. Carlisle delivered an exquisite address on the subject at Covington, Ky. It impressed me at the time as the finest forehsic discourse in our political annals. I have not seen it since. It had no effect upon the situation., However, it confirmed me against "free silver." This reminds us of these striking observations by Macauley: "It would be as idle in an orator to waste deep meditation and long research on his speeches, as it would be in the manager of a theatre to adorn the courtiers and ladies who cross the stage with real pearls and diamonds. It is not by accuracy and profundity that men become masters of great assemblies, and why be at the charge of providing logic of the best quality, when a very inferior article will be acceptable?" Bryan's Cross of Gold metaphor swept the convention and demolished all arguments. Accordingly we find that Tillman held his audience spellbound, not by reasoning but by barbaric force, ready rasping wit, unrivaled gestures and expressions. Like Iago, he was nothing if not critical^iwas always combative' and ag-' gressive, and seemed impervious himself. His like we shall not see again. Those who came against him with only logic and facts were blown away like chaff. His self-confidence was supreme and his gall unlimited. His touch of the popular pulse was in- < fallible and his consuming seal for the common people seems to V have justified in his 4iVd their eyes some of his shocking utterances and ac- ' tiona. Withal he was capable of refiuod feeling, and as said of pome celebrity, he was a sledga hammer with Aeolian harp attachment. : J The Agitation of 1890 has been genorally regarded as an outbreak of the plain people against the cultured or so-called, aristocratic, -clase, who had long exclusive!^ held the higher offices and practically controlled the state government?a 'condition which existed from earl/ timfc.

It is strange that there should have >een need of any turbulence for the people to exercise ample control of he government and mold it as they might choose. All white men always , had the vote, and no class or set could monopolize authority without consent. Vet custom seems to have forged an intangible chain whereby the socially I Belect only were eligible to higher i promotion. The gentry 'and their ad-1 herents, residing mainly in the cities, j towns and villages or vicinity, had the leverage of close co-operation. For a long period they had furnished able and lofty leaders whom the people applauded and followed. Except during the ten years carnival or corruption under Reconstruction after the Confederate war, the state government had been, careful and economical to the point of penury. After the redemption of 1876, the old order was resumed by a natural right, the elite with some mutterings again took over the reins of government. Rut a ferment had been working and a vague discontent, especially among the farm element, a majority of the population. They had suffered years of low prices, five cents for cotton, and were in debt to the tradesmen. They had few schools, poor roads, and the towns had all the advantages. The masseB, like the giant beneath Aetna, must turn over, hence eruptions. We might speculate without endon this line and sat improve or* the blunt epigram of some . unknown wit that: ~Tbe Confederate "war freed more white people than niggers." Arising in wrath, they struck bTindly at the govei nment. They Welcomed any charge of extravagance, corruption or neglect. "We are reIminded of the .story that at the battle (of Sharpsburg, a Yankee battery, posted in a bam yard, had long withstood the Confederate guns from across Antietam creek. Finally a Confederate shell upset a tow of bee hives in the yard and the bees lit upon the Yankee gunners, who took to their heels-and the battery became silent. Thus the people in rage often mistake the source of their grievances and attack without reason. Tillman came along to lead. He was the great apostle of the primary for selection of all officers from governor to coroner, and of public speaking by candidates. At bottom the people seem to have been chiefly animated by a craze for equality, one of the profound passions of the human heart. As we look back, it would seem they cared not a fig for economy or anything else. For since that revolution there has been such a vast expansion of- state expenditures for schools, colleges, roads and a hundred other things, as would hove been staggering forty years ago. Nor do the people care much about consistency. They soon forget. To us now the furious outbursts of feeling in the days of 1890 seem unnecessary and an absurd waste of emotional energies. Yet we cannot quarrel with storms, and in all popular commotions there is more or less of huge and cruel. injustice perpetrated. It amuses me to recall that In those days the boys on the streets of Camden spat at me for my Tillmnnism as I rode by on horseback. Bless their little hearts, after they grew up we became good friends. Quite a bit of the best people regarded Tillman ae a reckless moftster of falsehood and they never trusted him. They must be respected a* invaluable citizens. Their standards are high and they can tolerate only the genuine. Yet we find that the clean-cut, spirited Joseph H. Earle, the chosen exponent of the Conservatives, _ who Wfestled. with Tillman in open debate in every 1 county in the state, became a cordial friend of his, and by his aid was elevated to a place on the bench. If not misinformed, we are under the impression that in later years a feeling of mutual respect, even regard, arose between Tillman and the knightly A. C. Haskell, indeed, Tillman ultimately won the support of i majority of hit old opponents, without which he might have been defeated for the United States senate a 1912.

I shall have to make a careful examination." They entered an adjoining anteroom and the sturdy man started to remove his coat. "Here, here?what's the idea?" demanded the doctor. "Don't you want to examine me?" "Certainly not. Just let me see the whiskey." "Whiskey? Well, of all the nerve! Thi'.k I'd give up a quart of good whiskey for a guy I never saw in my life'.' 1 thought you wanted blood." suceoss, the pressure of poverty, and above all the seductive appeal of I flattery. It has been said that a few i are above flattery, a few below it, but that 99.990 per cent are amenable to it. Besides propositions are sometimes presented neither of which we approve, yet a choice must be made. Whether one's opinions of Tillman jbe pro or con, he cannot be disregarded, and in time may be rated as great. Observing his resolute, relent|W> countenance, I "Was reminded of the portraits of .Cromwell. Hearing him on the platform conjured up iMirabeau and the tribune of the French revolution.

Even the spiall may be compared with the great. In the violent cross currents of the '90s, I seem to myself like Palkland, as depicted by Macaulaj in his essay on ilalla.ro.
