the armory, which was over a store.
There were fifty of us. We besieged
them. Next morning seven dead negroes
were found in the streets; the rest had
taken to the woods and they have never
been heard from since.
Once we had a riot, in which we adopt
ed different tactics. It was a battle of
the ballots. When the counting was done
1t was shown that we had 5000 ballots in
the box, whereas the normal ma jOrity of
the negro was 300. The way we did ii
was TO station man at the school house,
Where the negroes voted, under agreement
with the United States army officer, while
we voted in the county building. The
man stationed at the school building was
armed with badge of authority from the
United States government, declaring him
a federal inspector. This man was also
armed with list of twenty questions.
Three thousand negroes were clamOring
our side was east. We instructed our
young men to rise early in the morning
and cast their ballot at their home pre-

1.-THE law? I say to hell with such a
law.
All Men Are Not Equal.
4 deny that all men are created equal.
! do not wish to deprive any man of his
life. nor his liberty, nor his pursuit of
happiness. But | want chance to pursue
that happiness myself, and we cannot do
1t under existing circumstances. L deny
it and defy you to prove it.
THE remedy lies in the repeal of the
fifteenth amendment to the constitution
and the modification of the fourteenth.
The negro cannot be equal TO the eau
casian. His history in Africa is one Of
barbarism. He does not work in wood, or
in stone, or in the arts. He cannot build
towns, except of Lamboo. He is first cou-
sin to the baboOn.'
Protection of Women.
Mr. Tilman dwelt at length upon the
protection of women in the south. He de-
clared that during slavery days. when the
war broke out, the white men went to the
ranks and left their women surrounded
by negroes The women were safe. "We
turned them over TO you: you have had
them for forty years. Today every paper
you pick up tells US of a dastardly
crime"
The Slave Traders.
The speaker declared that the ships that
were built and manned for the slave trade
were equipped in the New England states.
He bitterly denounced the charge that the
south was responsible for the trade.
In conclusion, Mr. Tillman talked about
the settlement of the Indian question by
the determination of the Indian; of the
Malay question by the suppression by
butchery; of the Monaghan question by
exclusion. All of these races, he declared,
were superior to the negro.
With reference to lynching, Mr.. Tillman
pictured the horrors of the crimes that
lead up to it. 81 would make the woman
judge. jury. prosecutor and witness, he
declared I'VE will not drag our wives
and daughters into court TO undergo the
ordeal that trial of one of these misera-
BILE creatures involves. We will lynch the
last one of them, and if you drive us to
it we will fight you from Cape Cod to

would have been well worth while if only
for the opportunity it afforded for Salt
Lake men to form closer friendships
among themselves.
To this unflagging spirit may really
be attributed the success of the Idaho in
vasion. 1t was agreed at the outset
that a small fine would be assessed
against those who failed to take part
in the parades- Only a few fines were
levied, and in every case there was a
fairly reasonable excuse. Why, those
excursionists marched miles and miles.
John r. Winder, ir., expressed the SEN
timent of all hands when he said as he
marched down the main street of On
tario. Oregon, on Saturday;
I'll never be able to get dowE to my
business in Salt Lake any more unless
l have a brass band to march behind.
General Freight Agent Reeves never
rested Early in the proceedings he was
appointed grand marshal And he full
filled the axactinS duties of the position
in manner that was altogether salts
factory. He marshaled the column al
every step and. assisted by Major ID. r.
GRAY of the Hartman lines and Sergeant
Larson he saw TO il that every man
was in his place, that all marched with
heads erect and colOrS flying. There
was other business for Mr.. Reeves to at
tend to. In his car at various times
he entertained practically every member
of the party and at all times everybody
was welcome to visit it and partake OF
Mr. Reeves hospitality He was a per-
feet host.
And no set of executive railroad off.
Gals could have been more watchful of
the welfare of their patrons than were
the Short Line officials. George II. Ohm
stead, superintendent of the Idaho divis-
ion, attached his car to the train al
Pocatello last Monday night and remained
with it continuously until POcatellO was
reached again yesterday afternoon. Mr.
Olmstead was uniformly courteous, uni
formly obliging, and he impressed all OF
the salt LakerS as being a railrOader OF
exceptional ability. The record of the
trip strengthens this impression. The dis
tance Travelled under Mr.. Olmstead's jur-
isdiction aggregated l. 430 miles, the entire
mileage being Liza. When it is said thai
in all this distance there was no delay
no accident of even the slightest char
acter nothing whatever to prevent the
record from being perfect, it will be
understood that Mr.. Olmstead acquitted
himself with distinguished credit
President W J. Halloran and Charles
A. Quigley deserve a story all by them
selves. No men ever worked harder fol
the success of an event. both before the
train started and all through the journey
Both Mr. Halloran and Mr. Quigley de-
veIoped talents of an unusual character
in the line of public speaking. They adj
they visited and IL the excursion had
lasted several days longer they would
have become orators of much more than
local fame-if they hadn't died. Nobody
knows when they rested. The only DOS
sible theory is that they didn't rest a;

SWIMS 81 NILES
IN 30 MINUTES

"A tramp on the Santa Fe has
broken all records for long DISTANCE
swimming" said a trainman who
arrived from La Junta last night.
The hobo did twenty-eeven miles
in thirty minutes, which you will
admit, has them all ducked. 1t
happened this way says the Al
buquerque Journal. The other
day a gentleman OF the road named
Coburn tried to steal a ride from
Dodge City to La Junta on the
rear end Of a locomotive tender.
As soon as the hobo was safely
ensconced on the tender the train
gave a sudden lurch, he lost his
balance and fell overheard into the
open manhole OF the tender. The
noise of the train was so great it
drowned his cries for help and
there was nothing to it but for him
to swim until the next stop was
reached. That was twenty-seven
miles, and it was thirty minutes
before the train made the distance.
You may not believe that a Santa
Fe train made that speed but it is a
fact.
