Senator Tillman is justly r< garded by many as one of tl strongest men the South has i the senate today, and many thin him the most efficient represent) tive the South has had in thi body since the war. Contrary i the expectations of many wl have been politically opposed I him, he has won the respect, not the admiration, of his co leagues in the senate. He yield to none in his readiness in debat able to hold his own againBt tl; best of them. Sarcasm and iror are particularly effective 'in h hands. He dispises vacillation an inconsistency. It was, no doub on account of this?and goade on by the direct charge of Sen tor Albert J. Beveridge, of Ind ana, that the blood of America soldiers shed in the Philippim was on the hands of those sem tors and others who opposed tl annexation of the islands?ih; in his Philippine speech (as pu lished in this paper last week he made the scornful reference ' McLaurin in words of such ui doubted import, though his nan was not mentioned, no one coul mistake it. Here are the exai words : ' If you want my opinion a? to who hands are red with the blood of Ame ican soldiers, and of tensof tnouaan of Filipinos?men, women and childri ?who have been slaughtered like ca tie, look around and call to mind tl men who made those strong and el quent pleas, those earnest protests < this floor in opposition to the treat and even gave personal pledges to the fellows as to how they would vol Those are the men who, whether fro corruption or from weakness or hot gave the president, the legal excu which he needed to prosecute the war 1 was a terrible castigatioii, ; all our readers who remember il debates in the senate prior to tl ratification of the Spanish Ame ican treaty ?>l peace, recall tin Senator John L. McLiiiriu mac one of the most eloquent speech* against the treaty. And ye when the vote came, less than month later, he surprised tlm opposed to the treaty, and tl Democrats, especially, by votii for il wiili the McKinle\ crow P ;s evident thai Senator Til I ma do*-? nut regard Senator McJLauri as a reliable Democrat. Lookii backward now, after a lapse '< the few years that, have inte vened, we recall an incident hei in our own York court houi when Dr. T. J. Strait, a ma whom everyone in sober momen knew was as "strait as a shingle was howled down for attemptir to state that he knew McLauri to be a political renegade and ha evidence 10 substantiate tli charge' Our people were mad I infatuated and would listen t neither truth nor reason. But tli opportunities that the electors < the State, conferred upon Mi Laurin and time haveenabled tli senator to prove by his own acl that what Doctor Strnit said wn true and the accuser is avengec Circumstances have proven ths even so intelligent a people { those of York county can be dc ceived by a charlatan in nolitic Blood Cure Sent Free.
