Observer Bureau, 1417 G Street, N. W., Washington, April 13., The appointment of the negro Ralph W. Tyler, of Ohio, to the posi tion of auditor for the navy is . not looked upon In Washington as an ef fort of the President to- open his fa mous door of hope, which it will be remembered he announced he would open at the time of the appointment of W. D. Crum as collector of the port of Charleston. It la but a part of the campaign begun by the President for the nomination of Taft for President Many believe he will be utterly unable to nominate Taft, but that they say, Is what T. R. is after. He wants to make a tremendous effort to nominate Taft, and when he has failed there Is nothing left to do but to stampede the convention and nominate Roosevelt Mr. Roosevelt'a secretary, Mr.- Loeb, made the remark but a few weeks ago, "Do these people think that we are novices in the tame?" Nobody thinks they are novices. t)n the con trary, this man T. R. is fast becoming recognized es not only the most as tute political manipulator of this time. but as. the .most estute America- has yet brought upon the stage. Here is how it is about Tyler. . MOST FORMIDABLE ENEMY.:: Foraker, the President's most form idable enemy, has Juet "gone out to Ohio to stump the State. He to tell ing the people wRat a friend of the black man he is. He has fought re lentlessly and untiringly and vocifer ously and gestlculatorlly to see that these negro soldiers who Bhot up .the town of Brownsville shall have a fair trial. He has been the sole champion of the black man in all this horrible race prejudice, because of which the negroes who shot up the town and those who shielded them from detec tion were discharged from the army without honor. And the people of Ohio are cheering him for It The President must get busy, or his reputation as an opener of the door of hope will suffer. And quick as a flash he appoints Tyler to one of the most responsible posi tions In the Navy Department, and a position in which he has a large num ber of white clerks, . white men and white women a number of .them Southern women working under his directoin.

Mass., June 23. 183S. rrnA uated from Yale in 1863 and a year later from Harvard Law School. En tering the' army as a lieutenant of a negro cavalry troop, he say service in several states and at the end of hos tllitles .was captain. He came to South Carolina in 1866 as a planter, but soon gave his attention to politics, being a aeiegate to tne state Constitutional Convention in 1868 and becoming At torney General the same year. Retir ing from this office in 1872 he tffolc up the practice of law at Columbia. In 1875 he was elected Governor by the Republicans. While Governor, Chamberlain made an earnest effort to give a decent, or derly, government, bending his efforts to prevent corrupt practices by officers. In 1876 he refused to Issue commis sions to two Judges who had been elected by the Legislature and who were condemned as corrupt and unfit for the bench. For this action he was publicly thanked by the people of Charleston.. This and other official acts won for him , the. regards of many of the leading Democrats und wben the campaign 1876 was approaching. a strong movement was promoted ' to havet.the whites support Chamberlain for Governor, believing in his honest effort at reformation of conditions. Thlshad the support of the moderates, KUt tne convention decided upon a Democratic candidate. General Wade Hampton being ' chosen , to bear the standard. Hampton was elected but Chamberlain' refused to recognize his election and with the aid of Federal bayonets held , the ' .; State executive mansion. For a period there were two governments In the State, Hampton heading one and Chamberlain the oth er. The whites paid their taxes and other money to the Hampton officers. Bloody clashes had occurred during ,1876 between whites anr DiacKs ana on Oct. 7, Chamberlain ordered the rifle clubs to disband. The Democracy com mittee answered this, denying that rifle clubs were employed to intimidate the negroes and Influence election.

It will be noticed that the President did not appoint Tyler to a position in Ohio. He was about to appoint him collector of customs at Cincinnati This would have been a hard blow to Senator Foraker, but there were oth ers in Cincinnati besides Senator Foraker. And Cincinnati protested against the appointment of a negro to such a position there. They wanted the negro to have the door of hope open ed to him,' but they wanted the door put some distance away, and so the President opened it in Washington. He did. not make this appointment several months ago, either, when Tyler was being particularly urged for an ap polntment There, was no immediate occasion for it at that time. But there Is occasion for it at this time, and T. R. 1a always ready for an occasion, they say,,.. INTERESTING CONTROVERSY, j The Fdraker-Taf t-Roosevelt contro versy is an interesting one. It seems to be the .opinion here at- present that ' the (Roosevelt-Taft combination , will win out, but Foraker is looked upon as the most courageous man in the Republican party. It was generally thought when the flght was first talk ed of that Foraker had the Ohio ma chine with him and that he would carry the State against' Taft; but- T. R. is a mighty myth to those people out in the Buckeye State.- The moth ers stop their babies from crying by frightening them with the name of Teddy. .The voting population is simp ly too afraid : to vote for their own fathers or brothers without the ap proval of T. R. The only brave man among the leaders is Foraker him self. Others like Senator Scott and Senator, Penrose have backed igno minlously down. But Foraker . is par ticularly fond of running headfore most into buzz saws.1 1 do not think it of the slightest importance what Nick Longworth thinks about anything. I have no time to waste on him." Think ot a man's saying that about the most distinguished son-in-law in America! "It sounds so much like Foraker," is what everybody here says. A POLITICAL NONENTITY. He hit the nail on the head.: It isn't of the slightest Importance what Nick Longworth thinks about anything, or it would not be but for the fact that he is the President's son-in-law, and Foraker, like the most of mankind who have their senses with them, know it. The difference between For aker and the rest of the politicians is that Foraker Isn't afraid to say it. It will lose him votes in Ohio. Foraker probably knew that, too; he must have known it. Still it is true; why not say sot That's the way a fearless man looks at it ' ZACH McGHEE. Blarlne Band and Troops to Attend .:r -- the Unveiling, ;: v ; Washington, 'April 13. Col. J. J.
