The Washington correspondent Of the Bal
timore Sun of Saturday states that the Presi-
dent in conversation on the political situation,
and his prospective policy said that he intend
ed to do nothing to foster or to recognize the
idea that there were any cliques or factions in
the Republican party: that he considered he
owned his place to the party, and not to any
particular element of 1t. In appointments to
Office ne person would receive more or less
consideration because he had been the friend of
this or that leader of the party. In reference
to appointments the President indicated quite
positively, as he has once or twice previously
that he will not unless he changes deliber-
ately formed opinion. make removals unless
for cause This of course does not apply to
those whose term of office have expired.
