WASHINGTON. September o7.-There are
daily new evidences Of dissatisfaction that
the venerable Secretary OF the Treasury
declines to resign his position. Most vigor-
ous protests have been sent 10 the President
against such course, the protests urging
that, especially In view OF the Republican
dIsaiIeclion In New York, It Is important
that Judge Folger should not strengthen
the opposition by making It possible to be
said that he does not desire to risk losing
bis Treasury portfolio. But the Secretary
OF the Treasury is noted for his tenacity.,

connection with the possible succession to
the Tresuryis that oi Thos. G.. Platt, Of
New York, whilom Senator, "Me too."'
The star route organ, referring to the sug-
gestion of New as the possible Secretary,
says that this would be wise selection,
and intimates that Dorsey, who was active
with New and Gen. Dudley in the Indiana
campaign Of 1880, was rendered Cabinet
position by Gen. Garfield, which be de-
clined. It was announced by the Ga1Re
here, which is friendly to Dorsey, in which
n number Of letters from Dorsey to- Gar
field appeared, that more letters would be
published, including the one in which this
tender was made; but Dorseys attorneys,
it is learned, in view Of the new trial in the
star route cases, have decided that Il would
be unwise to publish any more OF this
correspondence at this time.
