THE LEDGER. Thuriow S. Carter, EDITOR AND MANAGER. WEDSB8DAT, FEBRUARY 18, 1 H S. Tillmau and Bryan in New York. New York, Feb. 14 ?The thirtieth annual dinner of the New York Preaa Club was given to night at the Waldrof -Aatoria I: Hotel. On the left of President Joseph Howard, Jr., was Win. J. Bryan, while Mayor Low oc- I cupied the chair on his right. I Senator Tillman was among the i guests. | Mr. Tillman's address grew i more impassioutd as he continued. At first ouly applause greeted his utterances, but toward the end an 1 occasional hiss was heard, and finally he was interrupted by a oice crying, "What about your nephew." Senator Tillman was at the momiut defending the sumanry measures adopted^in the South for the punishment of negioes guilty of crime, and especially against womon. After the excitement caused by the interruption had subsided, Mr. Tillman said there was much more he could say and would lika to say, but that he regarded it as highly inappropriate te refer in public to family affairs. Before concluding his address, he took occasion to assort that if the policy of raising the negro into power in the South is carried too far, the result will be bloodshed aud its flow will be upon the heads of those who have trird to * ?i._ ?i . amce mo wnue population into subjection l? the black. 1 ..
