scrupulous about recommending him. Mr..
Cleveland suffered several times from ac-

Harrison has had more experience and is
less trustful. He has been working very

RACE PREJUDICE.

A Newspaper Lie Concerning the President,
and It's Prompt Denial by Colored Men.
WASHINGTON, June 29.-Dispatches to
several papers, dated june "a. quoted the
President as having spoken as follows in a
recent conversation with Southern delega-
ton:
Perhaps comprehend this race question bet
ter than you gentlemen think, and sympathize
with your feeling in regard TO the colored people
more than you know. Certainly in your place
would feel as you do. Personal contact with an
alien race in social, political and professional

him to the appreciation of the colored peo-
pie throughout the country. The last time
they called on him was on Wednesday,
when they presented the address adopted
by the conference of colored men held at
jackson, Miss, on June Is. That address,
among other things, declares: THAT
Mr.. Harrison is President, not of one
section. but of the whole country; not of one
race, but of all races or which our citizen
ship is composed. His ambition is to de-
stroy rather than promote race prejudices
and sectional animosities" The President
assured the delegation that his own posi-
tion upon that subject could not have been
more accurately and correctly stated. Col
ored men. he declared. should not ask to
be appointed 10 Office simply on account of
their color. nor should the color be ground
of objection.
In view of all these facts it is the opinion
of Messrs- Lynch and Bruce that if the col
ored people will only be patient and con-
fide in the President they will not be dis
appointed in their just and reasonable ex-
pectatlons. Besides, the appointments al
ready made by the President ought, they
believe. to show that he entertains no such
sentiments as he is quoted in the above
They assert positively that he eDtertains
no such sentiments.

Belief That the Proposed Treaty VIII Fall
The Disturbing Elements.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, juno 29.-At the Interior
Department to-day it was stated that hope
was practically abandoned that the Sioux
commissioners would be able to negotiate
with the Indians for the peaceful opening
of the great Sioux reservation in Dakota
The opposition comes largely from the
action of Red Cloud in advising his braves
not to sign, and the fact that the willy chief
has succeeded in keeping back more than
half of the signatures of the Indians at the
Pine Ridge agency leaves il almost hopeless
that the necessary three-fourths of
all the signatures can be secured.
1t is asserted now that the outcome
of the negotiations between the commits
sioners and the Indians depends largely up
on the action of the Indians at Standing
Rock. Here there are said to be upwards
of q thousand votes. and if the greater part
of these are secured for the opening of the
reservation, then the commission may be
successful, after all. Otherwise the ef-
fSsts @ets tSs G hass as G It be @s bs
lieyed, here ten days. ago that
ported one morning. that his signature had
been secured. and the greatest Satisfaction
was expressed among those who had close
knowledge of the situation.
1t seems that one of the most potent fact
ors against the government has
been the action of that some
what obstreperous gentlemen known as
Dr. Bland, of this city. the secretary of the
so-callcd Indian Rights Association. This
man, while ostensibly philosopher, really
stirred up more trouble among the Indians
than any other one man in the United
States, and he has for some unexplained
reason been, particularly close to
called the Council Fire" which makes it's
semi-occasional appearance, and it is per-
haps due to his efforts that the tribal rela-
tiOns of the United States will be main
tanned, notwithstanding the benefit which
civilization would receive by the opening
of this vast tract of, at present, unprofita-
BILE land in Dakota. There are thousands
of families in different parts of the
country ready to move into the reservation
the moment it shall be thrown open to set
Element. but the present indications
are that the efforts of the
gentlemen of the Northwest. who have
been working so industriously to Sc
cure the opening of the reservation for
years, will again be called forth, and that
Congress will have to be appealed to once
more before a1e thing can be done.

It Will He Replaced by One Of Metallic Red
Color-Changes in Sizes.
Special to the Indianapolis journal
WASHINGTON, June 29--The Third As
sistant Postmaster-general. with the ap-
proval of Mr.. Wanamaker, has been at
work upon designs for a new series of post
age stamps. proposals for which were in
vited June IL. Bids are asked for two
sizes. namely, the size now In common use.
and q smaller stamp-three-quarter by
seven-eighths of an inch In size. This idea
was, doubtless, brought about through the
attacks which have been made in all parts
of the country upon the two-cent stamps now
in use. The so-called sickly pale-green
stamp has been condemned everywhere.
and il has been the intention of the depart
ment for some time to make change in this
color at least. Specifications inviting
sealed proposals were prepared some time
ago. and bids will be opened on the nth of
July.
1t is proposed to print the postage stamps
of the size now in of the following
colors: One-cent, ultramarine blue; two
cent metallic red; three-cent, vermillion:
four-cent. milori green; fve-cent choco-
late; six-cent, dark red; ten-eent, light
brown ffteen-cent, orange; ffty-cent,
black; ninety-cent, carmine.
If stamps of the smaller size should be
preferred tho colors will be as follows
