in by his most distinguished friend the
Hon. Thomas Wallace Swami.
It required sometime to pass before
it dswned on the cunning mind Of the
Hon. Thomas Wallace Swami that there
was only one way to make Mr.. Osborne
back up and close his mouth and that
was to come across with his four hun
dred dollars which he did and after
recovering his money and the court
cost, Mr.. Osborne dismissed his court
proceedings against Col Swami and the
state commissioners, and Osborne must
be given the credit for knowing Just
how to get ahead Of himhammers and
dead beats to perfection.
On one occasion it is said that Col
Swami wanted to prove to his pal
Governor Dunno, that he had money to
burn that he was the wealthiest gentle
man Of Color in this state and in or
der to make good in that respect he
decided to give a grand banquet at
Masonic hall in Springfield, the affair
was to be pulled Of in honor Of the
state commission and other prominent
White and Colored citizens, both ladies
and gentlemen but it is claimed that
just as his guests and the state COM
missioners were on the eve of entering
the doors leading into it that the doors
were slammed in faces and then locked
tight and that those who had been in
vited to the eating or feasting were
forced to stand around in the street in
front of the hall and wait until the
Hon. Thomas Wallace Swami could
rush around town and hunt up fifty
dollars to pay the hall rent and for the
fine grub and wine.
The following are said to be among
the many other Colored men residing
in Springfield whom the Hon. Thomas
Wallace Swami, in the most brazen
faced manner relieved them Of their
money in order to impress Governor
Dunno with the fact that he was a
little dishonest rich COlored man.
Major George w. Ford, $50 who
was selected as one of the state com
missioners by Governor Swami, ]. n.
Mosley, $50, one crazy man $50,
and it is estimated that at the present
time that he still owes the Colored
citizens Of Springfield and throughout
the State Of Illinois more than one
thousand dollars aside from turning
over the four hundred dollars to F. L.
Osborne, whom he had endeavored to
skin alive to q dead stand still.
Notwithstanding the above facts
Governor Edward F. Dunno, is 30 dull
minded that he labors under the halu-
eination that his warm chum, the
Hon. Thomas Wallace Swami is the
highest embodiment Of all that is good,
true, beautiful and ennobling in the
Afro-American race.
It seems that the present chief ex-
eeutive Of Illinois is not unlike the
great majority Of short sighted mar
row contracted White men who always
greatly delight to elevate their Colored
walters, buffers, bOOtblaeks or coach
men, the vicious and the most ignorant
Negro over and above the intelligent,
the honest, the manly, the property
holding, the tax paying and the
straight forward Colored man.
