The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1900-08-05

1nQeeQ, Wnl16 II is a IdcC OF great Sig
nifcance that the President has within
nineteen months appointed fully twice
as many negroes as any previous Admin
istration, developments are now being
so shaped by him, through revision of
the civil service regulations, that the
number of negro office holders will be
increased fourfold. Not only this, but the
constitutional rights of the negro will
continue to be sacredly regarded and his
future in the new possessions will be sur
rounded by every guaranty calculated to
insure his peace and material well-being.
The great work which the Administration
has done in the line of negro recognition
is graphically illustrated by the sub
joined roster, which gives some of the
more important positions to which emil
nent negroes have been assigned since the
advent of the present regime. From this
roster is omitted dozens of Army ap-
pointments, scores of civil service ap-
pointments, promotions and retentions,
State recognition, and hundreds of minor
departmental positions, which are the le
gitimate fruits of the great victory of
1896. and which should be placed to the
credit of the Administrations
