Tillman in Chicago. r The Senator, Undaunted by Threats, Made his Speech on the Race Problem in the "W indy City. Chicago, Nov. 28.?The efforts of the colored citizeus of Chicago to prevent United States Senator Benjamin K. Tillman from delivering an address here tonight in Orchestra Hall was unsuccessful. When the South Carolina Senator arrived in Chicago early in the) afternoon lie was told of threat ered injunction proceedings to prevent him from appearing 011 the platform and ot a money consideration that had been offered if he would cancel his en gageraent, but Mr. Tillman expressed scorn for both. Until he leaves for Fond Du Lac. Wis consin, tomorrow, Senator Tillman will be guarded by police and private detectives. This is iu accordance with an order issued by Mayor Edward F. Dunne, who was scheduled to preside at tonight's meeting, but who refus ed to have anything to do with the affair after a committee ol colored citizens visited him a fewdays ago. Senator Tillman gave his address protected by 40 detectives. In anticipation of trouble a number of policemen were kept at nearby stations in reserve, but they were not called for. Six negro policemen mingled with the crowd which blocked the 6treet in front of the hall. In the audience were many negroes, but they listened to Se nator Tillman's remarks good naturedly and although he was interrupted many times t.ie meet | ing passed off without trouble. In leading up to his address, "Shall the United States Annex Cuba?" Mr. Tillman took oc casion to criticise Mayor Dunne's action in refusing to preside at the meeting. "I have been told that I have been snubbed by the mayor of this city," said the senator. "I did not ask Mayor Dunne to bo here tonight. If any one lias been snubbed it is ?e gracious ladies, who plan>(J, this meeting to secure money ^ ?e Chicago Union Hospital o requested Mayor Dunne lture of a political hour, forward and add his e been advertised ?odis.

Tom a Cuban I 1,0 my expe? ?cion and t he h?ve made of it, j.ter qualified auestion than any (rmerica." .seing the filteenth j to the constitution, J ^ # he declared gave the negro every right that a white man had, ho was interrupted several times by one of his listeners, who kept asking "How about Kentucky ?" Finally Mr. Tillman seemed to lose his temper and exclaimed: "Oh, shut your mouth. You don't know your ABC of this thiug. I lorgot forty years ago more thau you ever knew.'' "You make up your minds that equality before the law which the fifteenth amendment guarantees is right and should be enforced, notwithstanding its results. If this law was enforced it would result in two States at least being dominated absolutely by negroes, while four other States would be so near being governed by the negro that there would practically be an equal | division oi omces. A voice?"How about the law? To hell with such law." After telling in detail how the negro is prevented from casting his ballot in the South. Senator Tillman said : "There is a great deal more to this question than the little racket here in Chicago." A vice?"How about the ne gro judge?" Senator Tillman?"Well, 1 will tell you about your negro judge and about your political machines putting him on your ticket and bamboozling those poor ignorant baboons into elect ing him, and then afterwards , yon fellows who voted the ticket without knowing what was on it, find a way to cheat, him out ol it. ' No matter what the people in the North may say or do, the white race in tl e South will never be dominated by the ne gro and I want to tell you now that if some State should ever attempt to save South Carolina we will show them in their fanaticism that we will make it red before we make it black. "God Almighty made the Caucasian of better clay than Mongolian or African or any other race. The Ethiopian is a burden bearer, lie has done abso- 1 lutely nothing for history, nor 1 has he ever achieved anything of great importance. There are no great men among the race. Yet this people has been picked out by the fanatics of the North and lifted up to the equality of citizenship and to the rights of suffrage. No doubt many of you have listened to the oratory ot the greatest colored man of this country ? Booker Washington. He had a white father, however, and his brains and his character he has inherited from that father.1' Senator Tillman then told his audience of the attacks on white n 1 v ?-* A????A/\n I- J men \iy uc^iuca ill H1C OIH1U1 HUU declared that the people of the North were in a great measure responsible for this state of affairs. In conclusion Senator Tillman said : "Now, as a general illustra tion of the injustice that is sometimes clone: President Roosevelt discharged three companies of colored sold ers without a court martial, and in doing this lie punished innocent men for the crime ol a few. In doing this he transcended >he authority of the la* and lie oiKht not to have done it." During Mr Tillman's speech a colored man and a Russian were arrested for creating a disturbance in the gallery. : FACTSand no< ' Broom Company S ; SELLS W it y Everything in Dry Goods, Shoes, Hats, Caps a Clothing Specials.
