HOW HATTIE THE MIGHTY FALLEN

Senator Benjamin Tillman, O,
South Carolina, has come to Charles
ton, delivered his TRADE against the
Negro, and gone, and there was not
rifle on the surface. The relations
between the races are just as harmo-
NOUS as they were before the deliv.
cry Of his famous lecture on THE
Race Question" No brass band met
him. at the station, in fact he came
across the bridge alone and returned
in the same solitary state. His audi
ence was small, and his presence was
noted. only IN a casual way by the
Democratic morning paper, not at all
by the Republican daily.
For the cool reception rendered
this high priest of Negro oppression
the Negro citizens Of Charleston
should feel extremely thankful. II
proves to them that in the whites
hereabouts they have staunch. con
servative friends, men and womer
who are optimistic of the future o
tine race, unwilling to take advic,
from one who breaches repression
The few who heard Senator Tillmal
did 80 on the same principle tina
would have taken them to any othc
widely advertised curiosity. TIL
message he brought they had hear
before, its delivery amused them bu
1t did not convince.
