Pho four article* which have Hp- *

go and by it divided into weekly
instijlment*. It wa* not prepared for

W family, heuce its egotistic cast. !
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

>e located, yet is strong a* steel.
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.
Noting the erratic course of men
md events, we must consider the enticements
of ambition, vanity, power,

"Hentlemen," said the surgeon mh

man hovering between life and death.
Is there a gentleman here who will
tylunteer to give me a quart, just
6he quart of?"
"That's enough, <*<* l'H do it!"
cried out an athletic youth.
"Hut it must be good, you know. It
must be pure. 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. His career was
| undoubtedly beneficial in many ways.
I This stormy petrel might do some
|g??,d today if he were alive. So far
las I observed during some years he
was abstemious, usir>g neither liquor I
nor tobacco, not even eoffee. He declined
suppers on occasions, when I
was with him.
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. Physically;
Palklafid was insignificant, but I
have read that his statue stands at
the entrance to Parliament house in
England. This egregious egotism will
be pardoned, I trust, by tho?e who
