Tho district attorney asked if Erwln knew of any other officials in any way being subsidized. An objection to this question was sustained. The witness said bo did not know that accepting shares in a company was a violation of law. Postal Inspector Robert Mundo testified that ho knew "of tho counts In tho indict ment only at second hand. R. H. Espy, secretary of the Postal De vice and Improvement company, testified that Erwln was not and never had been a director or officer of either company.

Dean Rich mond Babbitt of the Church of the Epiph any, Brooklyn. N. T., and the following prominent colored cltlxena: Rev. Francis Orlmke, pastor of the Fifteenth Street Baptist church; Prof. Kelly Miller of How ard university; Judge W. Lyons, register of the United States treasury; Cyrus Field Adams, assistant register of the treasury; John C. Dancy, recorder of deeds of tho District of Columbia; Dr. O. M. At wood, Thomas R. Clarke and Whltefleld Mc Kin ley. , Dr. Babbitt has devoted much time to the study of this question and was chosen at tho recent Chautauqua meeting to reply to the argument of John Temple Graves. The composite views, expressed in signed opinions of these eight colored leaders and submitted to Dr. Babbitt, follow: The spreading of race prejudice Is oc casioned by appeal to race passion by poli ticians. The cure for the prejudice Is the application of Christian morals and re ligion and the Just execution of the laws. The fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution should be held intact. It Is not the desire, wish or purpose of the negroes, as a race, to seek, maintain. emphasize or teach social equality with the wnues as a consequence oi equal political rights and they urged strongly that the learo s education should not be limited to Industrial training. They believe that the lumber of crimes charted to the race had been grossly exaggerated by their enemies: tnat the real tacts should be collected and published and that the clergy of their race should teach strongly against these crimes. They urged a thorough organization of their race under capable leaders and an appeal to the press and to the moral and religious sentiment of the country, and especially to the white clergy. They op posed the Idea of a separate political party. Will Not Irge Disfranchisement. NASHVILLE, Tenn., Bept 2. The Amer ican will say tomorrow that Senator E. W. Cormack in an interview today said that he would make no effort to secure the re peal of the fifteenth amendment He said: I am sorry that'the Imnresslon has been created that I am preparing to agitate this question in congress. A reporter was ois cussing with me an article I had written on the race auestion and asked me if I Intended to introduce a measure for the re peal of tho fifteenth amendment. I replied that I had not thought of it, but added that I might. It was all. I confess that I have a great curiosity to hear the fifteenth amendment defended by the republican leaders, but at the same time I know that nny progress toward the reDeal of the fifteenth amendment dertends on It not being made a partisan or sectional question. 10 matte it sucn wouia tie to check at once a healthy growth of public sentiment It may well be that any direct effort on the part of the southern man for Its repeal would result In making this a sectional party movement GROSSCUP HAS SCRUPLES Chleaa-o Jadge Denies that Ho Will Leave Bench to Aeeegt Bettor Position.

Judge Orosscup says It would be to his taste and perhaps to his pecuniary advan tage to go back to the practice of law, but that he haa soma scruples of conscience on the subject of accepting and lay ng aside office and that reasons sufficient to control that conscience forbid his laying the office aside under present circumstances.

HARMONY INJTHE BIG SIXTH RepnMlcane Hear Echo) from tho Session mt Washiugtoa Hall. Harmony was the whole of the song at the AU Blxth ward meeting in Idlewlld hall last night, and the members of the Blxth Ward Republican club and the members of the Solid Twenty-six met together. with the simple friendliness of the earlier part of the interview between the Hon and the lamb. There was a big bunch of candidates and each mads short talks. The general sentiment was as follows; W. A. Reddlck: "I attended the meeting last night and have never before felt so well since I have been a candidate. I felt the atmosphere was cleared as It had not been before in two years.. It looked -as though things had been fixed so nons of our friends can be hurt. These ward meet ings, though pleasant, will not be neces sary after the primaries, because on Oc tober 6 we will have a united party. Borne personal contests may now be a little acrimonious in some localities, but we will all drop this with the primaries." H. P. Stoddard: "I am Impressed by the harmony of the candidates. I have heard no acrimonious words spoken and to my mind this means that tho successful eandl dates will get the support In the election of the unsuccessful and the voters will follow the candidates. I was pleased with the words spoken at the meeting last night and I think all will agree that the repub lican party fs a united party and so will carry everything. After the meeting X be Ueve that there Is no such thing as roa chins or anti-machine." The other speakers followed In much th same strain, all being enthusiastic over the harmony meeting of last night Robert Bmlth told how he hoped to save the county $S."00 or W.0OO, and promised If he should be elected and fail to do this be would never again be a seeker of office. W. W. Bingham said that party success Is of more Importance than the personal success of Individual candidates. Sara Walkup, William B'wkham, Charles Unltt James Allen, T. J.
