Ben Tillman of South Carolina as known as “Pitchfork” for his vitriolic speeches. This rare 2 inch pin from 1896, when Tillman was a Democratic hopeful, is a pitchfork that skewers bugs labeled with the names Cleveland, Sherman and Carlisle. Tillman once called Grover Cleveland a “bag of beef" and that’s one of the nicer things he said. Excellent. Consignor has lowered minimum bid.
