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.
