Washington special Gully ~ Chicago Times.
Mrs. Hayes is credited with securing the
offer of war secretaryship to Senator Ramsey,
of Minnesota. Mr.. Ramsey has been hungry
for some Office ever since he retired from
the Senate. Ramsey, when Senator, used
to be found at every reception and dinner
where he could secure an invitation. He has
a bland, unctuous smile, and gift for fattery
that makes him popular with eldery ladies.
Mrs. Hayes has been very friendly to Ramsey,
and at one time nearly secured the Berlin
ministership for him. Mr.. Hayes really
wanted to give Ramsey this place, but Mr..
Evarts does not allow any interference with
the appointments of his department., and so
Ramsey had to wait until Mr.. Hayes han an
appointment that was all his own to give
him. But there is many slip between the
cup and the lip.
MIR. M'CRARY WILL HANG ON
most earnestly to his present position until
he is assured of judgeship. He is in
moderate circumstances, has large family,
and, having been away from Iowa long
time, his old Law practice is completely
broken up. It is this outlook for the future
that has caused McCrary to remain in Wash
lngton all summer, saving the needless ex-
pense of iunketing tour.
There is very strong opposition organic
ing to defeat McCrary's confirmation as
judge. Even the appointment of few
coNFEDERATEs IN THE WAR DEPARTMENT
has not, up to date, appeared to have helped
him. The Bourbon organ this morning, in
commenting upon these appointments, says
it has no objection to Mr.. McC Crazy 8 appoint
ment of ex-Confederates to positions in the
war department., continuing:
eve have thought for long time that
the war was ended, and that discrimination
against the South and her people was both
unjust and impolitic, but Mr.. McCrary has
bitterness towards the South and her people.
Only few months ago he was rebuked by a
Republican committee of Republican SEN
having the "rebel grave yard' at Columbus,
o., sold for farming purposes. He has been
one of the foremost in putting the plant
weaklings in the White House up to an ag-
gressive policy, His change was sudden. It

ling of an eye. There came an hour when
Mr.. McCrary saw solid phalanx of South
ern Democratic Senators standing squarely
across his path of ambition, and barring his
way to a lucrative and honorable life posi-
ton in the federal judiciary. It was then
the metamorphosis occurred. It was just
then that Mr.. McCrary decided on concilia-
ton. In other words, it occurred to Mr..
McCrary that g few appointments of con-
federates might procure for him the support
of Democratic Senators. The motive is as
transparent as the change was sudden. It.
remains to be seen whether or not Mr.. Nc
Crazy has placed the right estimate on DEM
ocratic Senators. In other words, the Dem
ocratic party will be interested in finding out
who, if any, of Democratic Senator'S can be
thus persuaded, induced Tor, not to put too
fine point on it, hired, to vote for Mr.. Nc
Crary's confirmation. One of the strangest
things about this whole official intrigue is
the understanding that Dillon will hold on to
his place as long as McCrary desires him to
wait, thereby losing several thousands that
he would gain by the immediate acceptance
of the Columbia college professorship. The
college authorities also wait humbly for Mr..
Dillon. It is said at the white house that
the affair could be kept in the condition it
now is until the end of this administration,
