WASHINGTON, oct 2J-Will Simon Came
ron succeed Munson Picrrepont at the Court "
ST. Jamcss? Ifhc does not. Hayes will have TO
break faith. He was cntrappcd in this way.
The Administration has been colucttiDg with
the Camerons ever since Simon transferred his
seat in the Senate to his son. Don Prior to
that Hayes had no idea Of making very much
OF tho Camorons; therefore he resOlutely
refused 10 retain Don Cameron in his Cabinet.
although fathcr and son brought every appl-
ancc to bear to forcc him to continue the son at
the head Of tho doparmont from which the
father had been driven in Disgrace fifteen years
previous But the oil powerful influence Of the
Camerons in Pcnnsylvania was soon made APP
parent to Hayes. They were to all Appearances
friendly to the Administration No ill-naturcd
remarks cnmc from them individually. but
their we'll known creatures were outspoken.
Bill Kcmble. one Of the most important Of tho
Cameron lcutenants. made Carl Schurz's life
miserable for several months. and did not spare
Hayes himself. but exposed his hypocrisy in re-
gard 10 civil service reform by telling how he
begged for money to carry Ohio Ia 1875. as well
IA in 1876.
when the Pennsylvania Republican Con,en-
tion met in September lust. the Cnmcrons. for
reasons of thoir own. prevented an outbreak
against the Administration. but allowed the
world 20 see plainly that their influence alone
kept the delegates from speaking thcir minds
freely about the Fraudulent President. The
party press Of the state has scarcely behaved as
well ~ the Convention did. 1t il only a few
days ago that the Pittsburgh Commercial Gd-
zeiis. a paper wholly under the Cameron inliu-
enec dennun" "d the Admnistraiion in the
met last Monday tO nominate candidates for
officers of the House of Representatives.. the en-
tire delegation from PENNSYLVANIA left as soon
nut up Garfield. They wanted Hnycs to under
stand that he could not dictate lo them. They
should fix things to reward Garfield for his
suhscrvion'y in Withdrawing from the sena-
tOrial contest in ONO
All this timo Don Cameron was as polite a. n
