This was many years ago. I had formed a strong attachment for three of my colleagues, all of them lawyers — Bacon, Spooner, and Chandler. Although I am a farmer pure and simple and never studied law at all, my official position as gov- ernor, during which time I had many lawsuits for the State, necessitated my reading many Supreme Court de- cisions. Then, too, in general reading I had become familiar with the principles of the law and knew a little something about the Constitution. Therefore I ...am not entirely ignorant or an unappreciative listener when law points are being discussed. On the occasion of which I speak — the dinner at my home — it will be noted that two of my guests were Republicans, both leaders of their party until they left the Senate. Although I am con- sidered a partisan and am a very pronounced partisan in many respects, I never allowed my Democratic prin- [52] Address of Mr. Tillman, of South Carolina ciples to interfere with my personal friendships. It is a source of pride to believe — indeed, to know — that a large number of the Republicans with whom I have been asso- ciated in the Senate during my 20 years' service are and have been my personal friends.
