Mark you, he has been in the possession of all the facts in this case since July ' last, and men will be curious to know - - why, if his seal was honest, he did not , make them known then." ; As to the Oregon land affair the Senator, says: . "It will be noted that Ijaecused Dorr in the Senate of being H swindler, and asked the Postoffice Department to issue a . fraud order arainst him. Dorr declared in -hii Circular:, 'So sure is Senator Tillman ' of our success that he has subscribed and "paid the necessary fees- for a fiarter section fof himself and ten r qifsrter section for ten of his r urcbt relatives.' Dorr's declaration '- that I had paid the fees is an abso lute falsehood and the postoT.ee in spectors, while they searched the re cords for entiriea at Coquille and not ed that Reederr Watkins had filed 'several hundred - applications' no where mentioned that any had been filed .in my name or for me. There fore, the falsehood is proven on Dorr, and yet the President declared, 'the assault which Senator Tillman made upon Mr. Dorr was, according to the report of the inspector, a wanton as- sauit maaeyio cover up oenaior iiu man's wn transactions.' "Now about the lying: My lettet of February 15th, f which the Presi- dnt secured a photographic copy, antedates by four days my( statement in the Senate that I had ot bought any land or undertaken to buy; any, and "the President considers this posi tive proof of falsehoods-1 did riot say I hid not eonsidered the purchase cf land; I did not say I had not con templated the purchase of land, be cause T had done both.

I was advised by very able lawyers in the ftest, among them the Hon.

I was perhaps disingenuous, but a moment's thought.. will convince any honest minded man that as I had not signed any papers, had not paid any money, had taken nobody's receipt, the usual processes by which 'one 'undertakes' to bay land; I was speaking accurate ly and not falsely. Everything hinges on the meaning of the word 'under taken' and ony use of it. Did I man to conceil tie fact that I was anxious to buy some of the land t "Not at all.

When certain .investigations - were -:' being made by the secret service men this was discovered. . In the late troubles between the President -and Congress about ; the secret service; appropria tions which the President wanted re stored to former sufficiency and the charges by Congress that the secret service department was becoming of fensively active, the President . used strong language v which , Congress looked upon as reflections on that body" and demanded of the President instances : to justify . his language. While disavowing any intention of discourtesy he complied so' far as to give names that furnished the basis of his language. Thus the east of Senator .-Tillman - became : a part of the justfieation of the President. " It seems that the Senator's ; ease was stumbled uoon While makine rU talnWhte investigations. It is also Metated. that certain parties who were offended -with. Senator Tillman 'a uiging the, sale of this Oregon" land resorted to this method of revenge to put the President in possession of the facts' of Senator Tillman 's purpose to acquire some of this land. .

C, to Wash ington, it being claimed that he had no right to send it under the -frank ing privilege. The Senator refuses to pay the bill on the ground that it is the government's typewriter, tbt he was using in the interesf of the public and that it was the custom so . . . - v . i m .
