Sioux Reservation to BE Opened In the Early
Spring-Politics In Ohio.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Sept 10. Ex-Governor
Charles Foster, Of Fostoria, O., one of the
most active and effective of the Sioux In
dian reservation commissioners, had long
conference this morning with President
Harrison on the opening of the reservation
in Dakota and incidentally about Ohio
politics. Emerging from the White House,
the Governor stated to the Journal oorre-
spondent that the proclamation of the
President throwing the Sioux reservation
open to settlement would be issued in time
for spring plowing. He said the tide of
immigration would probably go in with the
fall of April showers. 'Of course it will be
necessary for Congress to enact further
legislation" said Governor Foster, land
the commissioners will make report to
the Secretary of the Interior, which will be
transmitted to Congress, and on which the
legislation providing for the opening of the
reservation will be based. There will be
no squatters. boomers and interlopers about
this reservation as there were in Oklahoma
during the last spring. expect every

"Oh. yes" replied the Ex-Governor; 'but

frightened some little-just o little, you
know--just enough to bring all together

man will be on the stump in the State in
few days. There is perfect harmony, and
every Republican has his coat of. Camp

as strong as any man the party could have
stronger. There are two wings to the Demo-
cratic party in Ohio, as in other States,
which can never be made to flock together.
They are the free-trade and the protect ctionist
wings, and it doesn't make much difference
which wing puts out the party's candidate.
If he is a prOtectionist, the free-traders
will not vote for him, and if he is o free
trader, the Democrats who are interested
in manufacturing and agriculture will de-
cline to come to the front. There is but one
tariff protection party-tne Republican
party. suppose the strongest man the
Democrats could put up anywh here would
be one without any tariff principles what
ever-one of their typical demagogues, who
advocates everything and nothing. The
third-term cry against Governor Foraker is
not injuring him.
