partisan, as Minister to Vienna. To-day
he withdrew the name Of Writ Sykes,

in the right place" There is hardly
any doubt, since the appointment Of
Mayer TO the Alabama Marshalship and
Don Cameron to the War Secretaryship,
that the President does mean ''busi-
ness and business Of that peculiar
kind which is a delight to men like
Senator Morton. As if to leave no
doubt as to the intentions of the Presi- {
dent, the organ" declares that:
