HARD BLOWS.
Rev. John |. Davis Hammers Tlllman for
BeIlttIing the Negro.

Rev. John l.. Davis d. d. colored Of
the Congdon street Baptist church. spoke
before the West Elmwood lyceum at the
wadsworth NJ. f. church yesterday af-
ternoon on "rillman and the Negro"
He declared that Tillman has been a
senator OF small calibre, and has tried
TO lift himself by pulling down others.
The difference between Tillman and such
men as Senator Hoar is az great as that
between a 10000 candle power electric
light and a tallow candle Tillman didn't
amount to as much as a hill OF beans
with the frost on II.
