Niger was nominated for judge and
elected and then they counted him
out
Granting that they did. II empha-
sizes the fact that white men of the
Tinman stripe steal with as much
facility IN Illinois as they do in
South Carolina and we do not see
that it is anything TO their credit In
either of the states specified.
He continued:
"In South Carolina, the Republi-
cans are rotten. Those VINO go 90
national conventions when there Is
I fight on, come back well heeled
with money. while post Office posi-
lions are sold. and the State is as
/ bad as a province in Russia"
A buzzard is best able TO tell a
bout carrion and on this account.
we presume that Senator Tiuman is
right with reference to the RepubH-
can Party In his own state one
thing we know and that is that at
one time fl was sound and if he
and his Ku Klux Klans have ampu-
tated all of the sound flesh with the
shot gun. the hang-man's moose and
the burning stake. it does not be-
come him to read essays upon the
rocking carcass that they have left
behind.
There have been charges though
froE, men Of his own party that the
political machine with which he af-
Grates is as nauseating and as cor
rupt as any Of those included i'm his
northern condemnation. In all OF
this discussion. we can afford 10 be
fair Politics is politics and it has
it's handicaps and its disgusting
characteristics as much I'm some por-
tions OF the North as It has 81 al
portions of the South.
The Senator said:
"Rcpublicarism means Negro e.
quality. while the Democratic party
means that the white man is SUI
preme That is why we Southern
+ ers are an Democrats. We admit
F that low white men of the South do
marry Negro women. but I ann not
able 90 find the marriage OF a single
F white woman to a Negro man"
Hon. William J Bryan does not
give amy such definition of Democra-
+ cy as that enunciated 10y Senator
Tillman and ne Is high authority up
ON that subject. EN-President Cleve-
land does not give such definition
/ of Democracy and ne is high author
ity upon that subject Mayor Nc
. Clellan of New York does not give
such "a definition of Democracy and
/ he is high authority upon THAI sub
ject. and Hon. w. Randolph Hearst
+ OF New York does not give such a
definition of Democracy and ne is
high authority upon that subject.
With the pace Senator Tiuman is
making. it will soon be i'm order for
him 20 have ga little hell OF his
own"
Senator TUlman admits that low
white men marry Negro women. but
is eloomily silent with reference to
the high white ones who live clan
destinely with them He states
that he has been unable TO find the
marriage of single white woman
/ Co Negro man. There was one I'm
the Virginia yenitentiary. All Of
the others, like crow take their
provisions with them and strike a
bee line for the North" If they did
not do this. they would spend their
honeymoon either in heaven or in
the penitentiary.
Senator Tillman declared that the
question OF voting viii in the long
run be settled by the shot gun.
He might have remarked that the
country viii then be in the throes
of revolution and that the Negro
will not then be the bone OF conten-
ton White men against white,
men. labor against capital socialism
against the plutocracy, anarchy a.
gainst the people and not the ami
hilation of "a weaker race by a strone
er one as this scion of debased
b stock hopes
But why worry about Senator
Tnlman? The undertaken is wait
ing 90 embalm him and the grave
yearns to be opened 10 receive him
b All ages have had their amusing
81 characters, who lived in their day
and time and who died and were
forgotten.
