The New York Eceninu Post comments
on the attitude Of the Republican party
toward the negro in the North. 1t says
the Indianapolis Sentiad shows the hyOc-
risy OF the Republican cant about the negro
by pointing out that, although at least 9,
800 votes for Harrison were cast by colored
men in indianapolis, not one of the 175
clerical positions az The disposal of the Re-
publican Federal officials whose head
quarters are in Indianapolis is filed by q
colored man, the only members of the race
employed in any capacity being some COL
ored men who are engaged about the sew
eral public buildings in scrubbing floors,
cleaning spittoons, and performing other
like mental services, which white politi-
clans do not banker after. 1t further
points out that no colored man has ever
been nominated by the Republicans for a
State Office in Indiana, that there are no
eolcred mayors, sheriffs, auditors, treas
urers, city OR county clerks, or judges in
Indiana, and never have been any, although
about half of the counties are Republican
many of them only through the colored
vote; and that, although Mr.. Harrison has
appointed host of Federal officials in In
diana, not even so much as one little
fourth class postoffice has been given TO a
negro.
