Tillman Hits Cabinet Officers.

Senator Tillman Thursday in the United States Senate proposed the names of Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte and Postmaster General George L. Meyer for membership in the Ananias Club. Mr. Tillman asserted that Attorney General Bonaparte did not tell the truth when he said he had not explained to the Attorney General his interest in the land deals. Mr. Tillman said he was willing to put his word .against the. Attorney General’s in any court in Christendom. He accused the Attorney General of having neglected for nine months to bring suit against the Southern Oregon Company as directed by Congress. Mr. Tillman accused Postmaster General Meyer of investigating him Instead of land agent Dorr as Mr. Tillman had Induced congress to direct the Postmaster General to do. Mr. Tillman said he was prepared for anything from his treacherous enemies, even assassination. Surely the “Pitchfork” is badly scared by the "Big Stlcfc.”
