Mr. Kilgore is a picturesque charac-
ter. Over six feet tall symmetrically
formed imposing in presence hearty
m greeting open frank and manly in
conduct "Buck" Kilcorc is one of the
'moat popular men in Washington not'
wtthHafieiflg hM habit of carrying a ra-
zor m his boot with which he cuts
and slashes jobs every 4mcwiHif hour"
of the session. Kilgore would defeat a
southern job-just as readily as he would
Vortncrn and a Texas ob would'
stand rto better show wkh him than k1
Massachusetts job. Born m Georgia
over fifty years ago Kilgore was taken
to Texas by his father in 1846. He
received a common school and acad-
emic education and then became a sol-
dier in the confederate army. And
what a splendid cavalry man he must
have made.
The first case filed in 'Squire Kit-
gore's court was an action that grew
out of the killing of a chicken. Plain-
and defendant were neighbors and had
been warm friends. Kilgore remem-
bered that Dumas records in the story
of the 'Corsican Brothers" hpw scores
of lives were lost in a quarrel about a
chicken and he determined to settle
the dispute between these neighbors
and make peace between them. The
parties the lawyers the witnesses the
jury and a promiscuous crowd were
assembled. The squire had held a con-
sultation with a friend just before the
court had opened and posted him liow
to act. When the case was called the
friend arose and said: "I move that
the case be kicked out of court and
the parties make friends and treat the
crowd." Kilgore put the question to
the crowd "all in favor ot the motion
make it known by saying aye;" th'ere
was a perfect storm of ayes where-
upon the court said: "The ayes have
it and the' case is' kicked out Of court
Come boys let's have something"
The litigants made friends and the
court'adjourned in perfect peace and
harmony.
.
Though the strongest stiver men in
congress are . willing to filibuster . a
whole session in the interest of free
coinage there was no more ardent
Cleveland man in congress than Kil-
gore. Indeed the greatest curiosity
in American politics was the support
southern and western democrats gave
Mr. Cleveland last - year Georgia
Tennessee Texas Missouri all put
silver in their platforms and sent
Cleveland delegations to Chicago. To
show' the affinity of thought existing
between Cleveland and Kilgore it-is
only necessary to state that every pen-
sion bill that Kilgore voted for was
signed by Cleveland and every bill
Kilgore voted against was vetoed by
the president. Kilgore is a very val-
uable man to have ia congress. Though
an objector he has the respect of every
man in the house and notwithstand-
ing his opposition to wholesale and
fraudulent pensions he has hosts Of
friends on the republican side. Though
he kicked down the door and escaped
from Reed's clutches during the fifty-
first congress running oyer Governor
Dingley in hs retreat Reed is very
fond of Kilgore and frequently goes
over to his ssrat and cracks jokes Vith
him by the hour. As lone as Texas
continues such men as Mills Culber-
son and Kilgore in congress she makes
good her boast of the empire state of
the south and the future empire state-
of the union.
