 In anticipation of trouble. a number of policemen were kept in nearby sta- tons in reserve, but they were not called for. Six negro policemen min gled with the crowd of white people and negroes which blocked the street in front of the hall

 While discussing the Fifteenth Amendment of the Consultation which he declared gave the negro every right that a white man had, he was inter rupted several times by one of his lis- teners who kept asking:
 Finally MT. TiIlman seemed to lose his temper and exclaimed: oh, shut your mouth! You don't know the A, B. c of this thing. forgot forty years ago more than you ever knew ''
