MID Criticism by a Few of the Eastern

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, May 22.-A few of the met
ropoltan newspapers are disposed to crit
icise the appointment of Hon. Walter Evans
but the Eastern press, as a rule, says very
little that can be construed into a hostile ex-
preston of views, The worst they can say
about him is that he is a comparatively un-
known man on the Atlantic coast; but the
same com plant was made concerning Cen
eral Raun, who, by common consent, is ac-
knowledged to have been the best Internal
Revenue Commissioner in Office The new
Commissioner will not be long in assuming
the discharge of the duties of his position.
Reception of the News in Louisville.
Louisville Commercial, Yesterday.
Colonel Walter Evans, one of the most
prominent and able Republican leaders of
this State, lawyerof recognized fine ability
received yesterday afternoon from Washing
ton notification of his appointment by the
President as Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue., to fill the vacancy caused by the resig-
nation of General Green B. Raum few
weeks ago. The notification was received by
telegraph through the Secretary of the Treas
ury, and came a O. o'clock in the form OF the
following dispatch:
WAsHINGToN, May 21.-Walter Evans, Louis
vile, KY: The President appoints You Commits
sloner of Internal Revenue. you accept tele-
graph me So and take official oath to day, ac-
cording To sections 1856 ana and g, Revised
Statutes, and report here soon may be.
CHARLES j. FOLGER, Secretary Treasury.
The news was exceedingly pleasant to
Colonel Evans, although not exactly a sur
prise, for be was expecting the appointment,
having been assured that he would most
likely be appointed. Yesterday was the last
day of grace for the President, and the ap-
pointment was necessary Upon receiving
the dispatch he went forthwith to the office
of Mr. Henry Cassin, Deputy Clerk of the
United States Court, where he took the oath
OF office, according to the instructions set
forth IN the Telegram from the Secretary of
the Treasury.
The news spread rapidly, and created quite
sensation, not only i. local political circles,
but among business men. 1t had been gen.
orally understood that Kentucky would be
allotted the appointment but Col. Evans s
name had not been mentioned in that con-
nection, and so the decision had all the pleas
ure of an agreeable surprise to his friends
and the public of Louisville. When it is
known that Col. Evans had received assur-
ances three weeks ago that the appointment
would be his it must be conceded that the
result was remarkably well-kept secret.
