wants TO extcnd the same system into

tuition because II did not grant Suffrage to
Indians, and extend the boundaries so as
10 take in more Of them.
But the Legislature Of Minnesota have
passed no law providing for an exumina.
lion into the customs aud habits Of the
Indians, therefore il would seem that they
are not voters, but at lhc election two
years ago, all Indians who have diseardcd
their brccch clou,s and blankets aud ap.
peorcd IN "civiliaed drcss," were held
to bo entitled TO vote, under the Constitu.
ton. Under this construction oftho law,
we have been told thAt whole tribes of
wild indians were brought to the polls by
Indian agents, each ono Of whom, By put.
ting on, for the time being, a "civilizcd
coat was permitted TO cast his vote
ono old coat thus suiiciug 70 "clvilizc" a
whole tribe. This was, Of oousc, inst
equivalent 10 giving each indian agent as
many votes az he had adult male indians
under his charge. II seems that prepara-
tions are being made for repetition Of
the same haad. James c, Pratt, In a
Ia a communication to tho ST. Paul Times

About one hundred Of the red men were

The Minnesota Constitution, which
was usherod into the world under the
professional services of Gov. Medary, has
the following provision admitting 20 vote:
"Persons Of Indian blood residing in
this State, who have adopted the language
customs, and habits Of civilization, after
an examination before any District Court
Of the State, IN such manner as naV BE-
provided By lato, and shall have been pro-
nouneed by said court capable Of enjoy
ing the rights Of citizenship within the
State" o
Democracy in Ohio resolves that "her
laws should be made and her destinies
controlled by white men exclusively. ~
This Minnesota provision shows the va
riation in democracy where It's success
depends on colored suffrage. The feder-
al government has It's Indlan Agents re-
sident IN the Minnesota tribes, and all the
government presents and fayors are made
70 promote the democr attic ticket. Il Il
easy to see that Agents dispensing these
presents and persuading tie Indians that
the favor Of their great father at Wash.
ington depends on their supporting his ad-
miaistration, can entirely control their
votes. In this case we have oolored vot.
ers and federal pensioners combined; ig-
norant savages marched to the polls by
government officials, and made 10 believe
that the favor Of the President and their
payments depend on their voting q ticket
which IS placed in their hands.
This is eminently democratic, the par
~ is exceedingly pleased with colored
voters when il can control them, and
