THE NEW YORK APPRAIsERsH1P.
Twas talking the other day to person
generally well informed about the
recent negotiation to remove
j. Q. A. Howard from the Office of ap-
praiser of the port of New York. My in
formant, custom house man, said: ''He
will be removed no doubt He has not
done anything wrong, but he never had
any popularity. Hayes first designed to
make him deputy collector of the port.
but Arthur put his foot down on it. When
he was nominated for appraiser the Stall
warts were going to beat him, but he went
to brother of Louis Clark, of Kentucky,
and said that if the Democrats would as
sist to confirm him Mr.. Clark could have
the next best place in his Office. Accord
ingly the Kentucky influence was thrown
very strongly for Howard's confirmation,
but after he was confirmed he found it in
convenient to carry out his promises, as
young Clark had been in the confederate
army and had never been a Republican.
Mr.. Arthur, however, haSbeen very slow to
remove Mr.. Howard, though it is said he
once offered the place to Mr.. Strohan.
TOM PLATr.
There is some andacious talk here about
putting Tom Platt in az secretary of the
treasury to oblige Mr.. Conkling. Presi-
dent Arthur thought eighteen months ago,
that Platt was not fit for United States
senator, for he went to work Justify to
beat him, though ice-president, on the
ground that he was a creature of Cornell.
AS Platt has since been treacherous
to Cornell it is now supposed
that he is fit to come into another camp.
Platt is sharp little country business
wire -puller of considerable less character
and weight than Governor Foster, of Ohio,
but in some respects "Calico Charley''
too. He has sweet, suave way with him,
is very polite, and in that respect can fol-
low Conkling around all day and make
friends by comforting the men whom
Conkling has spit on. Nevertheless, Plat
is one of the little insects of the machine
which have taken the music out of it.
While Conkling is heartily disliked in this
State, Platt is heartily dispised.
STATE POLITICS..
The impression seems to be very gener-
al that the Democratic candidate for gov
ernor here will be elected, although
the Republican machinery will
leave no trouble untried to bring
disorder and bargain into the diff
erent Democratic camps.
81 was talking to Sheridan Shook to-day,
and he said: 1T is little too early to tell
whether Judge Folger will be beaten or
not, but appearances are very much that
way to-day. The convention which nom
insted him was certainly the most disgrace
full which ever assembled in this state.
Cheating, lying, forgery and bargain and
sale were characteristic of it from one end
to hessother. told some of these varlots
in Arthur's personal machine that they
were capable of murder to carry their po-
litical point, and that larceny was an old
game with them.''
"But," said I, Cannot Arthur & Co. buy
out the Democratic leaders?''
"That is the danger to Mr..
Cleveland" said Mr.. Shook. ''If the Dem
ocrats of New York City could unite on
municipal candidates, then their vote
could be solidly cast for the Democratic
candidate for governor, but it is very
hard to get them to unite. The patronage
the Democracy enjoy in the city of New
York has very often been their ruin in the
state and the nation too. They have to
elect this fall mayor, besides other city
officers. Now that mayor has received the
nomination of the heads of departments.
1t is going to be very hard to find a man
that will suit the three or four different
Democratic factions here-Tammany
Hall for one, the country
Democracy for another, Irving for third
and so on. If they run several candidates
for mayor and other offices, there must be
some trading off on governor. Cleve-
lands fear must be that he will be traded
off against the votes of the Republican
machine for the city Offices here. ''But
am told" said Mr., Shook, ''that Mr.. Flow
er, who was a candidate for governor, is
willing to take the nomination for mayor
and my Democratic counsellor here says
that Flower will unite the party, though
do not know. 'Yon may rely uyon one
thing" said Mr.. Shook, Carpenter is 60
ing to be defeated. The half-breeds will cut
him from one end of the state to the other
and I think the chances of Cleveland'e
election are altogether the best. I Judge
that he will get the German vote all over
the state of New York. That vote in New
York city very frequently divides, but
Cleveland's character and iberality to.
gether are going to recommend him to the
entire body of German voters. Mr.. Fol
ger is in sad predicament."
"What do you think of Mr.. Robertson's
behavior at the Saratoga convention?'' ?''
said 1.
'Well, I don't like it," said Shook. sHe
was member of the state committee and
he ought to have been there to vote.
IF he conld not come, and can
see reasons why he night
have wanted to stay away, then he ought
to have sent man to properly represent
him on it. He had no business to leave
that seat untitled when it was SO vital to
