y NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. l9.-Th
Democratic state executive committee Il
sued an address this morning IN whlc
they set forth that though acts OF lawles

!, public sentiment discountenances them an
/ that they are merely the acts of few lay
s less men and not of any organized bant
o There is in the state no distinction on a
d count of race in the administration OF Ju
i tice. The negroes have all the rights
S the white men. The civil rights bill is
\ measure concocted to iDtiame the passloi

negro would not, if he could, affiliate VII
:. white men, and the passage OF bill OF tn
n character would destroy the harmony b
'e tween the races and wrong both. The c
4 fort to introduce social equality betwe'
4 the races by legislation may have serio
q results. They deplore the tendency OF Il
of the federal government toward ceDtri

are unsafe because of lawlessness, is
unmitigated SANDER, as is proved by Il
: presence of all nationalities living there
