Demands of Oolored Voters.
THE SECOND PLACE ON THE REPUBLICAN
TICKET OR THE PLEDGE OF A CABINET
POSITION.

The utterance of fred Douglass in
his recent speech in Louisville that will
attract most attention and comment is
that which insists that some high exc
cutive office, such as the Vice Presi-
dency or cabinet position, should be
given to a negro as the mark Of the po-
litical equality, and it might be added,
their fealty to the Republican party.
This remark was not made at hapha-
zard. For some time there has been a
movement among political colored men
to get recognition on the Republican
Presidential ticket in 1884. They want
Bruce nominated for Vice President.
Who would be the head of the ticket in
that case would be immaterial, though
preference is expressed in many of the
colored newspapers for Secretary Lin
coin, But, failing in this programme,
they will try to extract a pledge from
the Republican candidate for President
that he will put q negro in the cabinet.
Bruce would get the strongest backing
from his race for this position. Doug
lass has been supposed to re very con-
servative on this point, and has lost
caste thereby among the more radical
negroes, who have charged him with
bartering his independence for office.
That he comes out thus boldly, there
fore, for recognition for the race by po-
litical preferment, shows either a
change of feeling on his part or a
shrewd desire to place himself in line
with popular tendencies, That the al
legiance of the negro TO the Republi
can party has been shaken of late, and
is now worn loosely, is growing more
evident daily,

The Child Of the Forest Must Go.

With increased population and nu-
merous railroads to the Pacific and all
through the western territories, there
comes demand for opening the In
dian reservations for settlement and
development. Secretary Teller said to
a Chicago reporter the other day that
the time had come when the Indian
question must be handled without
gloves 1t was absurd that large tracts
of valuable lands should be given up to
the savagcs, when the public needed
them. He had been much struck with
this fact travelling over the Northern
Pacific, where, at one point in Montana
for about 100 miles, the road ran
through an apparently desert country
which seemed to be very good land.
Noticing no cattle nor any evidences
OF civilization, when he reached Bill
lings he inquired into the matter and
found that the tract was the Crow re-
servation-S,0 100000 acres given up to
about $500 Indians, who had no use
for the land. In this statement of Sc
cretary Teller's there is no reference to
the fact that the Indians hold these
lands under sacred contract with the
government, and their title is as good
as the deed of the farm of any man in
Pennsylvania or any other State. Still
