COLORED PEOPLE.
New York Tribune,
Washington, April 81 Especially
Ex-senator Bruce, of Mississippi,
recently called the attention of The
Tribune correspondent to a dis
patch in the 'sNew Orleans Times.
Democrat" in which it was stated
that the policy of the Administra
tion was not to appoint colored Re.
publicans to office. In proof of this
it was further stated that ex Sena-
tor Bruce and eX-Congressman
Lynch, of Mississippi, called at the
Postoffice Department last week to
recommend the appointment of a
certain fourth-class postmaster in
that State, and that the First AS
sistant Postmaster-General was
about to order the papers made out
when he suddenly asked:
"By the way. is this man white
or cOlOred"
"He Isl colored man." replied
Mr.. Lynch.
"Well, can't appoint him, then
no colored man can get a postoffice
in the SOUTH"
Mr.. Bruce said:
AS a matter of justice to the
Administrative as we'll as to my.
self, l wish you would say that
there is not scintilla Of truth in
that statement; that no such inter
view, as is alleged, has taken
place, and that from no member of
the Cabinet, or other officer
under this Administration, have l
heard or received an intimation
that any man is to be debarred
from Office simply because he is a
person of color. [ do not believe
that any such purpose exists in the
mind of President Harrison or any
member of his administration.
have received many letters and
personal enquiries on this subject
from prominent colored men
throughout the country. So numer-
Gus have been these enquiries that
| would be glad to have an oppor-
tuni,y to answer them through The
Tribune. In brief, my answer is
this: have every reason to be-
Iieve that in choosing men to fill
offices the Administration will con-
slider, in each case. the honesty,
capacity and efficiency of the
applicant, and if he be a man OF
any race, he will not be rejected
simply for that reason. [ regard
all the published statements to the
contrary as no more nor less than
device of Democrats to create
discomfort among colored republl
cans in the hope thereby of reaping
a partisan advantage. | do mol
believe that the scheme will sue
ceed. 1t is rooted in error. There
is no danger that this Administra
ton, which is SO sound to the core
will repudiate one of the cardina
principles of the republican party
and initiate the democratic party
by trying to establish color line
1t is an insult to President Harrison
and the tried and staunch republi
cans whom he has called into hi
Cabinet and appointed to othe
Offices to suggest that any of then
is doing such a thing. [ do no
expect to see men appointed t.
Office simply because they are mel

later they met AN excited man the

had been overturned on the lake and that
two of its four occupants had been

On reaching their hotel the photograph
crs developed several plates taken that
afternoon. and their surprise may be inn
