Senator Tillman a rough diamond in the Senate
South Carolina Senator Tillman draws crowds with forceful speaking style yet shows a rough, uneven delivery. He battles distractions and missing references while poring through desks for data, then regains the flow with strong, improvised gestures. Nearby senators feign help as crowds snicker in the gallery. Senator Rayner of Maryland pursues a joint resolution to overturn judgments in the Schley case, seeking votes to push through congress. Admiral Schley weighs the risk of proceeding.
