that wherever negroes get tho upper
hand their very first constitutional pro-
ceeding is to rigidly exclude all white
men from political power, and generally
from civil rights. There is not negro
government now existing which allows
white men to hold office, and In some

of n western man on the Republican

friendly politicians were called together
in The Journal office at indianapolis to

enough of them to make it an object, no
would come around later and stencil an

permission to leave that one for the pro-

the dice boxes in use were somewhat

ELIJAH W. HALFORD,
WHO HAS BEEN MADE PRIVATE
SECRETARY TO HARRISON.

He Il nm All Round Journalist and a Good
Mcthotiist--A Reporters sighting Work
Discovered Latest Portrait Of Gen.
Harrison.
Prcsidcnt-elcct Harrison has followed
IN the footsteps of Mr.. Cleveland in tho
appointment of n newspaper man rs
private secretary. Dan. Lamont has
been recognized rs one Of the powers in
Washington ever since he became Presi-
dent Cleveland's private secretary, and
now Gen. Harrison has determined to
appoint Mr.. L. w. Halford, the manag-
ing editor Of Tho indianapolis Journal, a
middle aged man, and Of some political
experience.
All this is a change from the days
when the duties Of the presidents pri-
vate secretary were mostly clerical.
The new plan has its advantages and
disadvantages. If the president il TO
turn out a great historical character,
figuring in scenes of sectional strife, like
Abraham Lincoln, he may find an nd
vantage in appointing very young man
to live and write his life. John G..
Nicolay, then scarcely well into tho
twenties, was Lincoln's private secre-
tary, and John Hay--at the time of his
appointment about 90 years old-was his
assistant The youth of these men was
fortunate. Twenty-Five years must roll
round before Lincoln's history could be
given 10 the world, and when the time for
its appearance came the two men who in
war time occupied such confidential po-
sitions were In the prime of life and well
fitted for the presidents historians.
