Believes In Tillman.

Froili Chicago Record. I have been a reader of The Record for some time, and although a democrat I prefer it above any other Chicago daily. This fact, however, does not prevent me from seeing evidences of unfairness in its treatment of public questions when they occur. It may be presuming a good deal to criticise a newspaper’s editorials in its own columns, but to my view the illustration given of a want of senatorial dignity in last Fridaj’s editorial were inappropriate, and, while assuming to be nonpartisan, evinces a strong partisan hatred. It speaks of “the disgraceful demagogism of Tiliinam the other day/’ as if such were a conceded fact. Evidently, to my mind, that writer imagines everybody is a demagogue who stands up for the rights of the “plain people,” bat there is a far more dangerous kind of demagogism, which effects to curry the favor of the rich. I have read Tillman's speech and I conceive it to be more sincere and earnest, if it is plain and pointed, than the average senatorial speech, and I am prouder of the senate with Tillman in it than of any man since Thurman’s time. That is what I think. Charles W. Sherman. LMattwniouth, Nob., Fob. 15.
