THE SELECTION OF NAPIER.

The Rev. Hon w. Tecumseh
Vernon, Of Kansas and Missouri,
having rendered his resignation as
register Of the United States
treasury, after four years Of SER
vice we'll rendered and well re
Warded, it is announced that his
successor will be Mr.. j. c. Napier,
Of Tennessee.
The Age, speaking for the peo-
pie, welcomes both Mr.. Vernon 5
return to the school-room and the
pulpit, work for which he is suited
and prepared and which he should
never have left, and Mr.. Napier's S
entry into the affairs and honors
OF the national capital. Pre- sident
TAFT, in selecting the gifted and
successful and no less distinguishes i
Tennesseean for the conspicuous
seat OF Bruce and Lyons, wins the
thanks and compliments Of Mr..
Napier S race and the appreciation
Of all who would conserve the IN
tereSt and promote the nobler pur-
pose Of the Republican party.
Mr. Napier will bring to his new
office a character the pride of his
state, Il reputation long established
among men, an experience cover
ing quarter of a century Of very
distinguished service, and a name
than which none is higher, none
more honored. Not only upon the
Republican party, or Mr.. Napier,
or his race, but the President re-
fleets credit upon himself in honor.
ING SO fine type of citizenship.
Whenever the Negroes themselves
are allowed to select a man for po-
litical preferment, he is no shabby,
whiskey-soaked oracle of the glor-
les OF a corrupt machine. That is
the work of the captains of the
llly-Whites. The Negroes invaria-
bly, pick the Napiers, the Fuckers,
the AleXanders-men, not political
excuses.
