A fatal aaray took place in our

Friday. A colorcd man by the name
OF Dunbar refused to obey the dircc

would meet him at certain point
that afternoon, when he must prepare
to die. At the appointed place which
was on the way that the foreman had

some twenty shots were fired, and,

CITY CONVENTION.

The Republican City Convention
met last Saturday and placed in the
field most excellent ticket, which
will be triumphantly elected in May.
There were very spirited contests for
Mayor, the prize being carried off by
that upright citizen and stalwart
Republican, Daniel W. Grubbs, who
will honor the Office and give to the
citizens of indianapolis an admins
tration second to none we have ever
had. Mr.. Grubbs has held various
important public trusts in Indiana
polls, and the ability and fidelity with
which he has discharged every duty
is the best possible guarantee for the
future.
For Treasurer-Mr. Pattison, a
solid business man, was nominated.
He will do honor to the office.
J. T. Magner for City Clerk, and
Milt Connect for Assessor, were re-
nominated by acclamation. Mr.. Co'ter
also received the nomination for
City Marshall.
The ticket is a good one, and will
be ratified by the people in May.

THE LEGIsLATURE-Ir PATRON
AGE.

-
AGE.
Now that the regular session of the
Legislature is practically finished, we
desire to make few remarks peril
ment to the organization thereof,
which, for various reasons, We have
refrained from making heretofore.
With the exception of the Secretary
of the Senate, the Republicans were
elected to all the principal positions
in both branches. This placed more
than sixty subordinate appointments
at the disposal of these officers. Now
it would naturally be supposed that
the Negro element in the party, re-
ceiving scarcely any recognition at
all outside of Indianapolis, would
come in for reasonable share of
these appointments Such has not
been the case, however. Only one
colored clerk has been employed dur
ing the whole session. Another man
was employed part of the time, and
one or two boys have had few days
each as page, one serving at a time.
This is the sum total of all the col
ored employees that have been given
work in the Legislature, and, be it re-
membered, all Of these We're in the
the House. Although the door
keeper and Assistant Secretary Of the
Senate are both Republicans, no col
ored man has been employed in that
body.
This is particularly discouraging to
us when we remember that through
out the State the colored voter is al
most universally denied recognition
in the dispensation of patronage by
County officers, and others whom he
has helped to elect. 1t is state o.
things that should not exist. TIL
LEADER in its capacity as guardian o
the colored people ofIndiana, can moi
look upon such transactions without
entering its protest against them. Il
is generally expected that there will
be an extra session of the Legislature
and we hope to see this discrimina
tion against colored applicants dis
continued.

An incident that has caused q great deal

for a week I'll give you q thousand dollars
"Its bargain" said Herman, and from that
moment he was silent. Mrs. Davis didn't
think the boy would do it, of course, but he
did, and for seven days he kept his fast from
language. Once, however, when suddenly
asked question, he let "what" slip hs'f out,
but that wasn't counted against him. The
boys Of Milford tried all sorts of plans to
make him talk, but the resolute boy kept
control of himself Temptations were thrown
in his way constantly. At the end of the
week his first words were: "Oh, bet III

that where intelligence, such as is supposed
TO hold full sway in place like Cincinnati,
could be guilty of such gross intentions. In

way, and though the experiment has been
tried even in our own little city, it never

where much has been done to destroy all

way and manner possible, should leave no
effort untried that will cement together and
build up those social ties that have been
broken down by the brutal reign Of slsvish

not be barrier to prevent persons from en-
