Charleston delegation, Messrs. Tobi

Benjamin Ryan Tillman of South

of the apparent ending of tho Wat-

Senator Tillman pointed out that
tho affair now seamed to be over, and
he did not care to go into a discus
sion of it for publication at any fur-
the/ length. The view Impressed by
Senator Tillman was Identical with
the views express*-! by various othsr
democrats, especially those with pro-
W ilson leanings.
