UNIQUE CONTEST IN SENATE Spooner Is Reported as Trying to t'ileacc Tilitnun. Was!II\.;tox, April J. ? There ha: b noieb .. > > t r- .. contest which is going on in the United States senate botwe 1 Senator Spooner and Senator Tillman. Tiio statements are to the effect that Senator Spanner has undertaken the extraordinary task of trying to sil'mcc a fellow member of the senate. Such a contest would be a unique one, and has n ?t been witnessed in the United States senate since the days of Webster and Calhoun and Havne. There is no doubt Senator Tillman is at times impetuous, and is at all times outspoken in his opposition to certain order of things, and he speaks perhaps at times with a vehemence upon certain topics, but as a senator of a sovereign state that is his right. If Spooner has undertaken to wage a contest against Tillman on these lines the South Carolina senator will d mbtless be ready to meet him, and there a- many who believe that Tillman wii!, before the eml of the present i m, < > nplotely down the "refines! little lawyer" from the west.
