WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-In an interview
George c. Gorham says:
cannot conceive of any excuse the
President could make for not conyenino
the senate in extra session. Should he fail
to DO 50 there would be nobody between
MN and anarchy. There will be no presi-
cent pro tenn, no speaker, no anybody. If
1t were Democratic senate I should favor.
under the present circumstances, an extra
session., .... S.
Speaking of his candidacy for the sec
retaryship ofithe senate, Mr. Gorha,n said !:
some OF the newspaper CORES pondents
here and editors of some of the LEADING
newspapers of the country, basing thei r
Judgment upon the matter furnished bv
their cores pondents, have said that there
were no Republican members OF the senate
VINO would vote for me, when the fact was
mad been nominated in caucus. I think
l know my relations with the Republican
| senators better than anyone else. and am
satlshed that IT receive the caucus nomi
nation will be eleted. To beat me- nv
enemies. if l have my party, must do it in
caucus. If they beat me there I am CON
tent. 1t they fail in the caucus. thew will
fail in the senate.''
| Mr.. Gorham does not believe that the
half breed senators will continue with the
Democrats for the purpose of defeating
| him.
there has been a common feeling that
| the president was not wholly in earnest in
his support of the prosecution in the star
route cases not that he sympathized with
the guilty persons, but hat his regard for
dorsey as man and politician preiu-
oiced him SO thoroughly in favor of Dor
sey's innocence that he decide Typ eferred
ali acquIttal to conviction. Inc remoy-
ais OF yesterday and other evidence that
now comes to light show that this feeling
ola the president an injury. Whatever re-
gard he may have had for Mr.. Dorsey, he
is and has been determined that the gov
eminent should have every opportunity of
procuring conviction if possible. Mr. r. J.
Megrlck says that the president desired
from the beginning that no stone be left
unturN4d of ba
they might be. The removal of five Off
cials for obstructing the prosecution OF
the star route gang is fair notice to all
concerned that man must not draw q
salary from the government and devote
his energies to obstructing the govern
ment in its prosecution of its offenders.
! The five decapitations do not exhaust the
| black list. Those who are spared this time
may secure immunity by a prompt and
radical reform, but this is doubtful. The
asso late counsel for the government have

his Office by a very slender tenure.

would 60 any thing out of the way. but it is
assumed that when he came Eere 10 get
his place he was captured by the Euening
Critic gang. Mr. Rounds availability

| Critic crowd is hard one. 1t became sp-
parent to his friends that the gang would
get him into trouble if he didn't get rid of
them. warning to that effect seemed
at hrst to have some effect, but when he
came back here, after getting his appoint
ment, Helm and Childs and others, known
generally as the Critic crowd, got around
him and engratiated themselves with him.
and the result became Immediately. appa-
rent after he took hold of the Office, Childs
had been chief clerk and been dismissed.
He wanted to get the place again merely
to get the other fellow discharged and get
his revenge. Mr.. Rounds accommodated
him. The chief clerk was removed. Childs
went In and then resigned, and let Cadet

the department at the time the star route
gang were rioting around in expeditions,
and are believed to have not only known of
the pig stealing, but to have some of the
pork. Furthermore, railroad companies

ported as delinquent. This may get these
gentlemen into more trouble than removal.
The reasons for Spencer's removal are
known to everybody.
