BEN TILLMAN
GHEERED IN
MARIETTA
SOUTH CAROLINA SENATOR
SPEAKS BEFORE A GREAT
AUDIENCE ON THE RACE
PROBLEM.

MARIETTA, Ca, July 4.-Senator Ben
jamin r. Tillman. of South Carolina,
spoke to a large and appreciative audi
ence at the morning session of the chau-
tauqua here today
Senator Tillman was introduced in a
few appropriate words by Senator A. s.
Clay, who had been the host of the dis
tinguished statesman from the Palmetto
State while in the city.
The subject discussed by the South Car
DINA orator was the race problem. He
spoke to the largest audience which has
greeted any orator during the entire pro-
gram and without mincing words he
handled his subject in forceful and pow
erful manner.
Attention was called to the situation in
Georgia and Florida, the only two remain
ing southern states which have not taken
some steps toward the disfranchisement in
legal way of the purchaseable, illiterate
negro race. The situation in these two
states was compared to that existing In
the states which have adopted the reform
ballot system and declared to be more or
less serious and ominous. probably not in
the immediate future, but certainly sooner
or later.
In discussing the solution OF the ques-
ton that q moral elevation and not a
technical collegiate education was the cor
rect solution OF the race problem. With
out a true conception OF the moral QUIZ
cation resting upon them, the higher ed
ucation of the negro meant to turn out
successful candidate for the penitentiary
in a large number OF instances.
He took occasion to pay his respects to
the Booker Washington scheme and said 1t
was an absolute failure in many instances,
giving as an example the recent recep-
ton accorded to the negroes in the state
of Illinois who had gone there to follow
the pursuits of honest labor.
He said that the white people in the
south were of race born to rule and that
to equip the negro was to start the white
people of the south in the agitation of a
movement by which they would be exclud-
ed from the institutions offering openings
for this class of labor.
After talking for an hour and fifteen
minutes he stated that he had talked long
enough when almost every one present
cried: go oni Go on! We like the way
you are talking!"
No lecture has ever been delivered by
any orator on the chautauqua platform
here which has met with such an enthu-
siastic reception. He was frequently and
enthusiastically cheered almost from the
beginning to the end of his remarks.

SUGGESTIONS FROM
OUR CORRESPONDENTS

his wonderful mind. And then there Is
large volume of q thousand pages con-
tanning his patriotic addresses, and which
ought to be read by every young man in
our country. And I regard those addresses
as being superior to anything in my
library, aside from Webster's MASTERPIECES.
Now / am aware of the fact that great
many people in the South were prejudiced
against Beecher on account of his posi-
ton on the slavery question; and want
to say right here that Beecher was right
and was conscientious in everything that
he said on that question. His views and
opinions touching that question corrobo-
rated with those of Washington, Jefferson,
Clay, Webster and Lincoln, for those men.
one and all regarded slavery as a moral
and national evil. And Jefferson was
opposed to the word slavery being inserted
in the constitution OF the United States.
believing that 1t would be productive or
much trouble and evil; and Alexander
Stephens, Georgfa's greatest statesman,
was opposed to the annexation OF Texas
for the purpose of the extension OF slav-
cry, and in his views and acts at that
time he exhibited a wisdom and forecast
that were not possessed by all his con-
temporaries. He saw the great trouble
and mischief that would result from the
extension of slavery, and that accounts
for the great speech which he made be-
FORE the convention III Ia
January 1861, and which passed the seces-
sion ordinance. A noted man speaking
OF that speech said that it was one of the
grandest things that ever fell from the
lips of man.
Now. Mr.. Stephens knew when Texas
was received into the Union that slavery
had reached it's utmost bounds: that
large majority OF the people Of the United
States would oppose the farther extension
of that institution: and so we at once see
that common sense teaches US that there
was no necessity Of any political excite
ment or wrangling. either In or out OF
Congress, in regard to the extension of
slavery, for 1t is our duty to submit to
the will of Him who knows and controls
AL things.
And, in conclusion, I viii say that am
a Southern man, a native Georgian, and
was a STAKEHOLDER, and yet believed, and
believe now, that Beecher and Lincoln
were right in their views touching the
institution OF slavery. JONES BUSH.
