Tillman, of South Carolina tonight evinced his displeasure at the persistency of hundreds of office seekers who have flocked to the capitol since the inauguration. With characteristic vigor the senator condemned the scramble for jobs. He said the 1 situation reminded him 01 a Bible text. "I have forgotten just where 1 in Holy Writ I read it," he said, "but it fits the case exactly and runs something as follows: "The wild asses of the desert are athirst and hungry. They have broken into the J green corn." The senator recalled the text con- J tained a reference to the "wild asseV* trampling down the corn, but he said he would leave that out.
