FOSTER ABUSES THE SOUTH.

1t is dirty thing for Charles Foster to do to
abuse the solid South" after he has won ap'
plause from liberal minded men for daring to say
that the South had reason to cry cut against the
partisan expressions of the Republican party. 1t
was during the grinding times Of re-
constru, ton when Foster went down to Louisi
ana a. one of committee TO look into thingp; and
we must give him the credit of acting on his hon.
est impulses The wrong inflicted by bis party was
too fragrant and rank he couldn't stand II, and
he spoke out boldly against 1t. But what does
this same Charles Foster mean by now abusing
the men Of the South for attempting to bring
by their own efforts as legisla-
tors, the most legitimate OF Inethods-the very
amelioration that he once said ought to be brought
about, and by the Republican party such con-
duct as this is unworthy a low, pot house polih'
clan what shall we say Of q man OF Chaties Fns,
ters reputation, who Is guilty OF ltF-Ctreta"d

The reading Of the veto message was listened to
with close, and, for a time respectful attention.
Only an audible litter went through the Demo.

effect OF the existing law being to secure honest
elections. Again when the sentence was read as
to what good faith. honest endeavOr and judicial
authority can do for the protection Of the elective

publicans as Counter-demonstTatiOn Opplauded,

FOSTERS SUPERIOR TACTICS.

The superior tactics of Charles Foster and his
ability as personal political manager, were the
principal causes of his success In these features
Judge Taft was not Mr. Fosters equal; nor did the
former have any political friends who could
match Foster There is no question that ma
iority Of the delegates came to Cincinnati prepar
ed 10 vote for Taft, but were Eeduced from their
which was unceasing and effective, The bad
management of the Cincinnati Republicans also
helped 10 defeat Judge Taft They did not hold
their primary meetings until Monday, and the
fxed until Iuekdsy. The local friends Of Judge
Taft, instead OF being ready 10 work for him with
the outside delegations, were busily engeged in
looking after themselves, The diversion for Sea-

Why Susan Saved the Meekers.

Special to Chicago Tribune.
Major Simeon Whitley, of Racine,
formerly an Indian Agent to the Utes,
comprising what is now known as the
White River Agency, is now here, and
has taken deep interest in all that has
transpired recently in connection with
those savages. His impression OF the
character of these Indians is that on the
average they are more intelligent and
decent, and more likely to yield to the
subduing influences OF Christianity and
civilization than almost any other tribe
of Western Indians. They are superior
to any other Indians in gratitude, atfec-
ton, and truthiulness. There are the
same relative grades of intelligence
a,hOng them as among white people, and
there are always two partles,-one for
peace, quiet, and obedience to treaties
with the Government of the United
States, and the other in favor of turbu-
lence, war, and plumber. In the three
years OF his agency, Major Whitley says
he never discovered any evidences OF
dissatisfaction, or anything but kindly
feeling on their part, which he attributes
very largely to the fact that he restored
to them the squaw Susan, the sister OF
Ouray, who saved the lives OF the
Meeker woman. While on his way to
the Hot Sulphur Springs, in Middle
Park, Colorado, he was overtaken by
messenger from Governor Evans, who
informed him OF the rescue of Ute
squaw from the Arrapahoes and Chey-
ennes by the officers OF the United
States army at Fort Collins, Colorado.
These Indians had captured this squaw
in some of their raids, and, while en-
camped near the mouth of the Cache
La Poudre, had determined to burn her
at the stake. The commanding officer
at Fort Collins, hearing Of this, took a
detachment of troops, and, by alternate
threats and promises, obtained her re-
lease after she had been already tied TO
the stake and the fires lighted. This
Squaw was forwarded to Major Whitley,
and, after her arrival at Hot Springs,
Colorado, was sent by him to her peo-
pie, being accompanied by L. NJ. Curtis,
the Majors interpreter, and delivered
to them after journey across the west
ern portion of Colorado into the border
of Utah, to the camp OF the Indians on
the Snake river, where she was received
with every demonstration of joy by the
tribe.
Major Whitley gave this squaw the
name of Susan, which she has bourne
ever since. This was Ouray's sister,
who recently displayed so much kind
ness and affection for the Meeker wo
man, and through whose interpOsition,
doubtless, their lives were saved. A re-
markable coincidence in this story is,
that the rescued Meekers came from
Greeley, which is the identical spot
where Susan herself was saved from
burning by the whites. Major Whitley
recalls these incidents with great in
tercst.
