A pprt >ved: Ira W, Williams, State Agent. Blames Tillmati for Peeling Against Negro in North. William T. Green, the only negro attorney In Milwaukee, says that sen? timent against the negro is particular? ly strenuous in Wisconsin and Milwau? kee, and that it is becoming strong? er throughout the north every day, owing to the intluence ?of trades unions and Senator Tillman. "There is not a negro in a muni? cipal State of federal position in Mil? waukee or Wisconsin at the present time," says Wm. Green, "except that one or two negroes In this city hold such menial positions as elevator man and janitor. This is true of no other State, North or South. In Chicago there are 1,000 negros in official po? sitions, city State and federal. In Mobile every mail carrier is a negro. Ben Tillman may largely be blamed for the feeling against the negro 111 the North."?Milwaukee Times. *?e?gf.
