opposed To Te1ler's appointment.
OMAHA, March 24.-The telegrapi,lc
announcement from Washington mat
the president intended To appoint
Henry NJ. Teller, of Colorado, secretary
of the interior is made the subject of
considerable comment here The rail
road papers approve the appointment or
are non-committaDt.
In opposing TelleF's nomination, the
Bee says: "Nobndy will dare question
President Arthur's right tn fill his cabi-
net with men that are in accord with
him on all important issues Nobody
can justly find fault with him for giving
recognition tn The section west of the
Missouri in his cabinet. but the country
will view the choice of Mr. Teller in the
interests of the railroads with grave
concern.
president Arthur knows enough To
know that the interests of the great
railroads and especially of the Union
~" Kansas Pacific must clash with the
- sts of the United States.
president Arthur knows that the con-
troll of the interior department by these
great monOpolies with their immense
land grants would jeOpardize the inter
ests of the people of the United States.
President Arthur oHgh to know that
the Colorado attorney for the Union Pr
cific, would be a very unsafe man for the
section of which he is chosen as special
representative.
Instead of gratifying the people west
of the Missouri, whether on this side of
the Rockies or on the Pacific coast, the
appointment of Teller would be resent
ed as an outrage. If Sergeant was OBJ
jectionable on account of his record,
Teller is more Objectionable
