Washington, Dec. 8.?That President
Taft is going to aj p >int Northern
negroes to office rather than
Southern ones is the information
which has been pretty thoroughly
discussed among the politicians of
Washington ai d elsewhere since
Booker Washington was here last
week. As the result of this policyit
is expected that the regroes in
Ll.e South who are holding important
offices will, as heir urns expire,
be displaced for the most part
by whites, and in turn recognition
will be given to colored mtn in the
North. The list of colored men
holding important office^ in the
South under the Federal Government
includes the following:
Robert Smalls, collector of cus-,
toms at Beaufort. S. C.; Henry A.
Rv.cker, collector of internal revenue
it Allar ta, Ga; Joseph Lee, collector
of internal revenue at Jacksonville,
Flu.; Nathan H. Alexander,
register of the land office at MontA'*;
Thorns s V. Mi>AW4?tci
receivei of public moneys at Jackson,
Miss: Walter L. Cohn, register
of the land office at New Orleans;
Alexander B. Kennedy, receiver 01
public moneys at New Orleans;John
E. Bush, receiver of public money
it Little Rock.
The c jurse the President wili takt
m the r. atter of appointing coloret
men is 1 kely to be illustrated in th<
sel rction of a successor to W. '1
7 cm on, register cf the treasury'
Boo'er T. Washington and cth<r
:olored leaders have given their supoort
to J. C. Napier of Nashville,
out it appears that the Presidem
will probably select p colored mar
from the North.
Washington was in this city a few
days ago, and it is said that he protested
when he learned that neither
Vernon nor Ralph Tvler. the latter
as auditor for the navy department,
were to be ousted. Neither of these
pull with Washington.
