WASHINGTON, June 13.-An evening papa
here publishes paragraph to the effect the
Commissioner
RAUM IS To DE REMOVED
by the President, because the former a
Springfield ana Chicago, pending the recent
conventions, violated the civil service rule
which are supposed TO prohibit fedora
Office holders from taking any part in a po
litlcal canvass or campaign, and particularly
because the commissioner has committed
this breach of rules after repeated warnings
Commissioner Raum said he knew nothing
whatever about The rumor. The paragraph
in question was the first and only noti6ca.
tion. He did not, however, believe the Presi-
dent intended anything of the kind, as he
had not used his Office to further the politi-
cal interests of anybody. He had not used
the patronage of his offi3s to the extent even
of having conyersad with anyone in his
office about the matter. Mr.. Raum was
emphatic IL his denial that he had had re-
peated warnings not to take part in the con-
vention. He had no warnings whatever. But,
while G3n. Raum does not
know that his removal has
been contempt lted on account OF his viola
ton of The alleged civil ser
vice rale, there ar9 others in good position
to know who think that his removal is Ger
tain, One Of these gentlemen, comment
ing on Gen. Raum attitude at Springfield
and at Chicago, said that the President had
been much embarrassed by the fact that
Raum had presided at Springfield, particu
larly in view of the attitude which the ad-
ministration had taken towards Caswell, who
while holding a federal position also presided
at State convention.
DEMOCRATIC SPECULATION.
good many Democrats are again seri-
ouslY embarrassed by what appears to be this
time an official announcement from Utica
that Governor Seymour, after all, will not
accept the Democratic nomination. quite
formidable Seymour-H Hendricks boom was to
have been organized here and the represen-
tatiyes of different candidates sll admitted
that if Seymour clused it to be known that
he would take the Office he would undoubt-
edly be nominated by acclamation. But the
announcement telegraphed here yesterday is
regarded by many as authoritative and new
plans are now being laid. In these plans
Tilden is not now being much considered as
a candidate, although it is of course ac-
knowIedged that he will have much influence
in determining the choies of the convention.
if he is disposed to exercise that influence.
Persons very near to him say that Tiiden will
not himself be candidate for the nomina
ton, although he may choose some dramatic
way for making MS declination known.
Bayard is 10 longer regarded as very strong
candidate. The fact that the New York
World, which has been his principal support,
seems now to lean towrds Field, is injurious
10 Bayard's cause.
GRANT S GRATITUDE.
Col. Tom Ocbiltree, of Texas, returned
from the West this evening. He accom-
Panied Gen. Grant from Chicago to Milwau-
kee and says the ex President was in excel
lent spirits. There was nothing in his ap-
pearance or his demeanor to indicate he had
experienced the slightest disappointment in
not being nominated. The general had not
even alluded to the subject except to say
that he would always hold in grateful re-
membrance the men who stood by him
through the thirty-six ballots, and those were
the kind of friends he wanted and were alone
worth having.
