| washington Jan. 2l.-In the senate
today Tillman replied to a recent
speech cf Spooner. critic.sing him for
remarks he had made in former
speech on the Brownsville affair. He
insisted upon the CORE ctness OF his
position that great inju tice had been
done innocent negroes by the presi-
dents failure to employ detectives to
make thorough Investigation Of tha
shoe tine-up Of Brownsville. Tillman
then spoke Of SpoonW's reference to
his position on the question OF lyncn
law.
Il have justified IT," said Tllman,
flor one crime and one only and |
have consistently and persist ntly
maintained that attitude for he last
II years. As governor e South Caro-
lima | proclaimed that although ! had
taken the oath Of Office to support
the law and enforce IT, ! would lead
la mob to lynch any man, black or
white, who had raw shed any woman,
black or white This is my attitude
calmly and d. libera'ely taken and
justified by my conscience in the
sight Of God
Lynch More as a Lesson.
y, sslf.. President, the senator fflQsssll
Wisconsin speaks Of .lynching lees !"
but so far as lynching fm rape is con
cerned the word is a misnomer. When
stern and sad faced white men put
70 death a creature IN human form
who has deaowered Il white woman
there is nothing of the bee about I.
There is more Of the feeling Of pariici-
pating as a mouner at fun raj. They
have avenged the greatest wrong. the
blacklist crime In all crimes and they
have done it not so much as an act
of retribution in behalf Of the vic
tim as n warning as to what any man
may expect who shall repeat the o.
tense. They are looking to the pro
'ccton Of their loved ones.
