Congressman Cheatham of North Carolina
is known throughout the south as one OF the
foremost colored men and Is statesman OF
the highest type. He said today: ~ have no
other expectation than that the colored dele
gates wilt all support President Harrison at
Minneapolis. Some of thom have voted for
Senator Sherman in past conventions, but
Mr.. Sherman is not candidate, ana IL he
were have no doubt they would stand by
the president because he has done moro In
every way for tho colored man than any
president we have had since 1 have KEEP,
trace OF current politics. President Harri
son has said more kind words. endorsed more
measures and had in Wow more good gener-
ally for the negro than any president we
have had, and he has given more of them
offices than any two presidents"
Senator b. X. Bruce of Mississippi said

mated and the colored delegates will have the
pleasure OF knowing they stood by him In
recognition OF what he has done for the race
Ihere is every reason why the colored race
should support the president and not one In
the negative. But the president has been to
every one alike, that Is the reason he has
oeen such good president for tho colorod
race"

not attend the Friday night sessions OF the
house which are devoted to private pension
bills and there has not been q quorum
present for many weeks. p. S. II.
