Senator Tfllman gave his TRADE On
tile Negro question at Ihe Des Aoines
Chautanqua a week ago Sunday after
noon. Il was as outrageous a perform
ance as ever occurred in the State
cf Iowa. Tillman's statement that the
Negro is not and never can be equal
10 the white man may he his honest
opinion. As long as he discusses the
question temperateiy and confines
himself to facts he is entitled TO re-
spectful hearing. But Ihen he trans
crosses all the bounds OF decency. ad-
vises law breaking and justihes mur.
der and mob rule, he foTfeits all right
to be heard by decent people. Among
other things he said in his Des M0ihes
TRADE was that the citizens Of the
North amalgamated with the Negro to
the full extent of their opportunities,
and that the track Of the route OF
Sherman's march to the sea could be
Iaced on after years by the mula.-
toes born after the soldiers passed
that way.
Who is this man Tillman who talks
about "amalgamating" with Negroes,
Who is he who blackguards Union
soldiers for alleged association with
Colored women? II of the slaveholding
family of South Carolina, the prob
ability is that he has or has had, II
his father did not sell them on before
the war, half-brothers and sisters of
part Negro blood. II a slave owner
before the war, it is safe to say that
he cohabited with dirty, greasy, thick
Tipped Negro women. II he had any
property left to him upon arriving at
his majority II is more than probable
that it was largely the proceeds Of the
labor and sweat Of these people whose
chief misfortune was their color and
who toiled that TiIlman and his for
hears might accumulate The chances
ere dollars to doughhuts that in the
vicinity of Tillman's home there are
lersons of mixed blood who owe their
paternity to him. Talk about the
''amalgamating Of Northern people
with the Negro racei Why. in TIL
mans section 1t is the fashion; here
in the North it brings disgrace. And
Tillman and his kind evidently feel
deprived of their rights. because they
can no longer sell their half-brothers.
or their illegitimate children or force
them to labor for them without recon-
pense.
Who is Tillman that he comes here
and assumes to teach lawabiding citi-
Gems their duty? Less than five years
