INDIANS TO BE MADE INTO U.

Washington, D. c., May 1.-THE
United States will gain 1876 new citi-

patents to their allotted lands.
The action will mark the first real

giving all competent Indians full con-

placing them upon the same legal
standing as all other American citi-
Zens.
He will then greet each Indian by
his "white" name and the ceremonies
will be ended.

name. Perhaps the government would

JAS. r HANNA FOR LIEUTEN-
ANT GOVERNOR.

Mayor Jas. R. Hanna is going to
win the nomination for lieutenant
governor. Of that there is not the
shadow of doubt. He is a local
man and the colored vote here that
knows what he has done for this city
ought to be for him, and will be. The
colored vote out over the state not so
well acquainted with him and with
his work we want to reach and say to
them to vote for Jas. R. Hanna for
lieutenant governor. He is reliable.
You always know just where to find
him. He is an upright, honorable
gentleman. worthy Of the vote Of
every man. He has been tried and
found not wanting. The young man
and the young woman can find an in-
spiration in his life. Since he was
twelve years old he has fought his
own way forward, helping himself
through school and college and al-
ways helping others.
He has a sympathy with the COM
mon people that is not often found
in public men. His friends should
show him their appreciation by going
to the polls en- masse and voting for
him on June 5th, primary day.
