As things progress the colored
voters become a bit anxious least
they should not get their full
measure Of recognition from the
incoming administration. Just
what has caused the anxiety we
/ ars unable to say, but the feeling
Of unrest is pretty general among
orr people. As for ourselves We
have abiding confidence that Pres
ldent Mckinley will do the fair
thing By US, and we are perfectly
willing to rest the case there. He
certainly seems to have keen ap-
preciation of the situation, and we
think that our friends need have
no fear Of not being properly cared
for BY his administration. We
may not get all that VIC think we
ars entitled to, and VIC may not be
invited to seat at the cabinet
table, but we think TINT We vii
ct more and bigger places than
~ have received under any former
administration. 1t is in the range
q possibilities that a colored man
msy be Assistant Secretary Of the
