H. Tillman OF South Carolina. asking
MIN to lecture in South Chicago some
time during April in behalf of a So
ciety whose name Mr.. Ringman does
not care to disclose at present, on ac-
count Of the premature excitement

This precaution is based upon the
excitement caused among the colored
citizens of Chicago on the occasion of
senator Tillman's last appearance In
that city, when he spoke under the
auspices of the Woman's Hospital as
ISOLATION on the subject of the annex
alton OF Cuba
Mr. Ringman does not feel any
emnity toward the coIored race. on
the contrary he sympathizes with
ehem. His invitation to Senator TILL
man is because of his belief that the
south Carolina statesman is one Of
the greatest orators OF the day and
that II he responds favorable the 90
cletles under whose auspices the lee
lure will be given will be greatly
benefited financially.
IN case Senator Tillman accepts, the

resentment of the colored people OF
chicago crystallized in an effort to
prevent the lecture of Senator Till
man. Judge Lands of the United
States court was petitioned for an in
junction prohibiting the talk. Senator
11llman appeared, however, and the
lecture was of great financial benefit
to the association under whose aus
pices 1t was given.
