Extract from Senator Foraker's
great speech in defense of the BLACK
Battalion"
If these men are innocent, as they
claim and as 1 believe. what else
could they have said or done? VIII
some man please tell what word any
Of them has uttered or what thing
any one of them has done inconsis-
tent with the innocence they assert.
And yet, because they have said and
done precisely what as innocent men
they should have said and done, for
that very reason they are arraigned
as guilty OF conspiracy and denoun-
ced in terms harsh enough to mani
fest evaporation because they viii
not confirm the charges against them
and thereby establish an excuse for
the crime that has been so incon-
siderately committed against them
and their rights. IL they are in fact
innocent, as they claim to be.

PRICE. FIVE CENTS.

Extract from Senator Foraker's
great speech in defense Of the BLACK
Battalion"
Who are these men that it should
be even suggested that they should
be treated worse than common crimi-
mails?
They are at once both citizens and
soldiers OF the Republic. Aside from
these charges. which they deny. their
behavior. both in the Army and out
OF it. has justly excited the highest
commendation. Their record is with
out spot or blemish.
They are typical representatives OF
a race that has ever been loyal to
America and American Institutions;
a race that mas never raised a hostile
hand against our country's flag: a
race that has contributed to the ma
tion tens Of thousands Of brave de-
tenders. not one Of whom has ever
turned traitor or faltered in his fl
deity.
In every war in which we have
permitted them to participate they
nave distinguished themselves for ef-
fcicncy and valor. They have shed
their blood and laid down their lives
in the fierce shock of battle. side by
side with their white cOmradss.
They are the direct and worthy
successors OF the brave men who so
heroicly died at Petersburg. at wag-
ner. and on scores OF bloody fields
that this nation might live.
Faithfully, uncomplainingly with
pride and devotion. they have per-
formed all their duties and kept all
their obligations.
They ask no favors because they
are Negroes. but only for justice be-
cause they are men. LApplause in
the galleries.

body made an appeal 60 the Supreme
Lodge, (white). which rendered sup
port In an effort TO deny the colorcd
knights the right 90 incorporate and
10 use any OF the emblcms OF the
order
The Georgia courts refused 20
grant an injunction 10 perpetually re-
strain the colored knights from us
ing these emblems and doing busi-

which jury was 10 decide whether

Grand Chancellor c. d. CreswiH is
