Edward E. Cooper, “one of the most

Indianapolis that ex-Senator Blanche K.
Bruce, of Mississippi, was hot on the
trail of a cabinet portfolio, attracted a
good deal of attention here and brought
forth comment of a miscellaneous char¬

Bruce. It is a fact that the northern re¬
publicans are getting very tired of the
political “nigger.” > They have been
studying him for the past four or five

his vote was necessary it had to be pur¬
