CAN'T will lead the van in Washington, how
1 ever, and Tomanderson will be mere looker-on,
but will be able to say yes or no occasionally
CAN'T was after him to go for Champlns posi-
ton again, and possibly he may do 80 and possi-
| bly, he may not. He would, OF course, libe the
| patronage, but he may have an idea that CAN'T
wants to get away with 1t ell. and in such an
| event CAN'T would have both mortgages and
patronage, and could get away with or manage
the entire crowd AZ he did the st. Landry police
jury.
What he wants with the patronage is some

DOES NOT SEEM TO UNDERSTAND,
az, under the present vigilant watch kept over
affairs by the department at Washington, there
| IL but one way in which q "spec" could be
| made, and that would be in division with him
| OF employees salaries or presents Of intrinsic
value for positions, as has been the case in years
past. {See report Of Gibsons oommittee.)
| J. Madison Returning Boards case IL different,
however; he has actually promised about three
hundred and ninety eight Of his friends that they
promise by turning out Ill OF the old crowd and
give the 'outs' chance for a. square meal.
The sins" are much worried over the fact that
| Mr.. Eicholz. chief weigher, has been notified
Il
proximo, and that Mr.. Sale, formerly deputy tax
collector OF 81. Landry or Lafayette parish, has
been appointed to succeed him. The appoint
ment was sent from this city to the Treasury De-
| partment q couple Of days since, and it's confr-
nation or rejection will give the
OLD AND EXPERIENCED sINs"
an opportunity OF knowing whether the secre-
kry OF the Treasury intends sdhering to the
| civil service reform doctrine or not.
They say IL MIR. Sherman sticks to his reform
rules he will reject the nomination, as his edict
| says that no dismesals will be made of expert
enced and able employees unless for cause, aud as
/ no charges against Mr.. Eicholz accompanied the
| nomination of Mr.. Sale, the Treasury DEPART
ton Or rejection Of tho appointment that will sat
/ isfy the balance Of the sins as to their fate.
| Some Of the sins" claim that the appointment
OF Sale shows Tomanderson's influence over the
Collector; but he says not and that he is per-
sopsl friend Of his own. and being fully capable,
he appointed him.
In connection with this matter il IL reported
| that the Custom House Commission paid Mr..
Eicholz dattering compliment In It's report for
| the manner in which he had conducted the
wegher's department.; and further it is said that
one OF the shrewdest Treasury agents in the ser.
| vice, who has examined the same office, states
THAT the system adopted and used BY mr..
Eichelz IL the most complete OF any in the coun-
try.
terested parties are now in Washington taking
| advantageof
THE RETURNING BOARD RAID
and the confusion to show the President how he
might stop the rumpus by nominating as collector
. prominent Conservative, and in that connection
the name OF we'll known conservative politician
10 mentioned. Il is said, too, that strong recon-
mendations have been sent from the city during
the past twenty-four hours indorsing the gentle
man referred to, and that conservatives who
| stand high in the estimation OF the President
will in'ercede personally for the new candidate
Once In position OF course the sins" would
ALL GO OVERHEARD
and the building would ace for its permanent
habitues aboul as handsome set OF Democratic
and Conservative clerks and employees as ever
graced the inside OF federal building and this is
just what the present souts fear, but they insist
that the delegation shall make the break for the
scalps even though it condemns them to eternal
disappointment.
1t is currently reported about the building that
john Burke, who has gone to Washington has
an eye on Oockrem's place, and at the same time
he would much prefer being postmaster, and
that he will endeavor to wedge himself into that
position. j. M. q. Pcrker is now in Lowell,
Mass, on visit, and will of course be appraised
of this report, when he will at once take himself
to Washington aud see whether or not
