quent speech, asked the meeting what an.
swer it would make to the statements tha,
had been so eloquently and yet SO naturally
put before it by men who were not civilized,
but who had como with their Indian dress,
and with their Iudian manners, to tell the
story of their wrongs. Shall that reply be,
"A war of determination !'' (Cres of mo,
no, no.'o DR.. Washburne asked that the
interpreter should explain TO the Indians
that that great meeting had said that it
should not be a war of determination but of
justice.
loud whoop greeted this interruption,
and Red Cloud rose and shook hands with
the speaker
DIR, Washburne then spoke at length on
the Indian question. stating that it would
no doubt be set with difficulties, but what
ever difflcuitIeS there were. there could be
no difficulty about Il policy that was the
result of simple Christian justice and honor
