TIE WASHINGTON Post says "The intro
duction of a much larger colored element
iuto the clerical service of the government
might be the fair thing to DO" In view of
the uoquestioned fact that save only for
the colorod vote Mr.. Harrison would not be
President, and in consideration of his asser-
ton that colored msjorities should be rep
resented, the introduction of larger color
ed element into the clerical service of the
government would not only be the fair thing
to do, but the failure to do it would be the
unfsirest of all ihipes-always provided,
however that Mr.. Harrison and his party
be correct in their publicly expressed ideas
on the negro question.

them of his own and his companions safe
