STALWARTS ON TOP.
The Presidents Late Trip Results I'm q
Stinening of His spinal Column.

Special Dispatch TO the Register.
WASHINGTON, June 6.-Since the return
Of the President from New York it is given
out that definite arrangements were made
both for the conduct of political affairs in
that State and elsewhere, and that either
Secretary Folger or eS-Congressman Starin
will head the Republican State ticket in
the Empire State. Mr.. Starin, who is very
wealthy and very liberal, would probably
shoulder the whole expenses Of the CAM
paign if he should be the nominee, and his
personal popularity would be likely to make
him the most formidable candidate the Re-
publicans could nominate. 1t is accepted
as a foregone conclusion in political circles
here that unless full blooded Stalwart is
nominated for Governor, neither the Presi-
dent nor Mr.. Conklin, nor any Of the Stall
wart leaders in New York, will take any in
to-~~s - the camnaiOn. Don Cameron ~
his recent remarks in Phlladelphla gave
expression to the determination OF the
Stalwart leaders, not only as regards Penn
sylvania, but also as to New York and other
States. They have resolved to make no
more CO0CeSSlOllS W lldlA D1SONSf AANSRNA
dents, or whatever else their opponents IN
the Republican party may style themselves,
and TO insist as the price of their support
that nominees acceptable to them shall De
selected. As Ope of the most prominent
Stalwarts said to-day, they have become
tired of putting men into office who treat
them worse than they treat the Democrats
Asof much interest in this connection 1t
may be noted that rumors were very thick
to-day of impending changes among high
officials. A leading Republican, who sus-
tains intimate relations with members OF
the Administration and who is in the con-
fidepce OF the Stalwarts, in speaking OF
these rumors, tonight, said they were prob
ably inspired by the fact that the President
will be called upon, in very short time, to
make appointments to NIL vacancies. one
vacancy will be in place OF Mr.. Dent, Presi-
dent of the Board of District Commission
ers, whose term is about to expire, and who
is not an applicant for reappointment
There are several other vacancies to be pro-
vided for, and "you may take it for grant
ed - he said, that the President Will put
into all vacancies men who are IN accord
with him and with his friends. 1t need
not be apprehended that the President Is
going TO startle the country with removals
hut he will make such changes as seem best
to him, when in his judgment the proper
time has arrived to do so. He will continue
to proceed in everything with caution and
deliberation, as he has from the first min
ute that he entered on his duties as Presl'
dent, and he intends to stand firmly by his

WASHINGTON, June 6.-Senator Davis, of
West Virginia, struck a popular chord this
morning when he introduced a preamble
and resolution instructing the Committee
on Postottice and Post Roads to inquire
into and report upon the expediency and
proPriety OF reducing the rate of postage on
all letters to two cents, and on newspapers
and other printed matter to half the pres
ent rate; also, as TO increasing the rate on
all merchandise now allowed to be sent
through the mails.
Mr.. Davis said that although the rate of
postage on all mail matter has been several
times largely reduced, yet soon after
each reduction the revenues of that depart
ment have increased. He said he had in
formation that the Postmaster General now
estimates that during the coming fiscal
year his department will be more than
self supporting, and he belisYes that post
age can safely be reduced.
In his remarks advocating an increase of
postage and the curtailment of the amount
OF merchandise sent through the mail, Mr..
Davis said that merchants can send such
matter at four cents per pound to any
place, no matter how distant, while for
points nearer, the merchants always used
the express. He said that he understood
that some eastern merchants would
ship hundreds Of pounds this
way by breaking bulk and putting the arti-
cles in four pound packages, which only
cost them sixteen cents.
In reply. Mr.. Ferry said the Postal Com
mittee, had been considering the subject,
and had agreed upon postal card with
flexible cover, which he thought would be-
come very popular.
The resolution OF Mr.. Davis was then

latter motion was adopted and the whole
subject was then tabled and the bill passed.
The object of Sentor Davis, Of West yir-
ginia, in moving 10 exclude Gen. sherman
from the retirement clause of the army
bill was because Of the fact that, under the
bill, ,as II now stands, Gen. Sheridan will sue
ceed Gen. Sherman in command of the
army, and many Democrats, believing from
Sheridan's record heretofore, that he will
not hesitate, should the opportunity
be afforded, TO use the position and power
Of the Office for political purposes. On the
other hand, il Sherman should have been
retained at the head of the army, he would,
as he always has, pursue 9 conservative
and soldiery course. From Sheridan the
leading Democrats hope for nothing, if
occasion should require, but partisan
practices G.

reported back to the union, and 1t was
promptly decided not to allow the men to
return to work in these two shops until
the ten per cent. advance is uncondition
