Tillman, a white senator from South Carolina, speaks for political control in the South by southern whites in the face of the mass of "ignorant" African American masses, who constitute a majority in many areas and in some states. He also questions the grant of the franchise to African Americans, and specifically protests Republican patronage appointments in the South.
