Black Lawp is the heading Of a cam

place every week in The Colored Cit

This paragraph, quoting Oregon's con
stitutional provision regarding Negroes
claims that il IS "WOTse than disfTan-
chisement or Tillmanism." The Repub
licsns Of Kansas seem to be consider
ably disturbed because Of the use BTy-
ans followers are making Of this sec
tion of the Oregon constitution TO help
Bryan in the Middle States. Governor
Geer has received 8 number of letters
making inquiry regarding the Oregon
law, and in answering the last ones re-
ceived today, he explains that the law
is obsolete, and then continues;
81 wish to say that the mental de-
pravity of the Negro who will, fOE any
reason, justify the treatment Of his
race in the Southern States by what
this editor calls "Tillmanism" is past
cOmpre hension or characterization. TIL
manism' stops nowhere short of the
admission made by Senator Tillman
himself in the Senate this year when
he declared that, 'We stuffed the ballot
boxes, y 2 shOt them and ne are not
ashamed of it, Your COlored Citizen
says that this obsolete section Of our
constitution is worse than disfranehise
ment or TIllmanism.' But the differ
euce is that that section OF our c0nsti.
tuition was never enforced, while Till
maDism' Is and whatever else is not
known by the average voter of the
country, he does know that this section
was repealed and rendered null and
void by the adoption of the Fourteenth
and Fifteenth Amendments 10 the Fed
eral Constitution. The principle of the
consent OF the governed ia the larger
and truer sense, is in operation every
where in this country save IN that poE-
ton where Mr.. Bryan will receive near
ly all Of his electoral votes
II desire to say, further, in regard to
this Kansas matter, that since discov-
ering that you have Negro in your
state who is SO unsppTeciative Of the
great privileges conferred upon him
self by the republican party as to en-.
dorse and apologize for the treatment OF
his race in the Southern States, [ be-
lieve it should have this obsolete sec
