The editor of the New York Sun, Charles
A. Dana, became very hostile to Grover Cleve-
land because Cleveland refused to appoint to
office some one suggested by him. WheD
Cleveland was nominated the Sun opposed
his election and brought out and supported
Ben Butler, man few years previous it
most severely denounced as the most corrupt
in the country. Soon seeing that Buffers
candidacy was burlesque, the Sun turned to
defending Blaine and denouncing Cleveland.
For two weeks before the election the SIN
was very malignant and vicious toward Cleve-
land. 1t deliberately made charges against
Cleveland that it knew were false. 1t DELHI
erately suppressed neys>tllat was injurious to
Blaine and published every item that was in

aim and the aim of all associated with me in
the conduct of affairs at Washington to give
the people of the United States safe, eco
nomical and conservative government. The
fact that so many business men and manufac-

were not afraid of a change in the admins

platform meant what it said and said what it
meant, and will carry the provisions of that
platform which relate to the business interests

Hon. Charles Z. Coon, acting secretary
of the treasury, has for the past two
weeks been by all odds the busiest official
in Washington. With Secretary Folger
out of town and Assistant Secretary
French in Europe, the duties of both Of
those officials have fallen on Mr.. Coon, in
addition to his own, which at this season
of tho year are considerably multiplied.
While great many people arc aware, a
still greater number arc not aware, that
the United States treasurer cannot pay "a
dollar out Of the treasury without war
rant signed by the secretary or assistant
secretary. The warrants average about
ono hundred day the year round, but
during the past six weeks have been about
four hundred daily, in consequence of the
delay in the passage of the deficiency
appropriation act When 1t Is taken into
consideration that the acting secretary has
to read these four hundred papers, repre-
senting the payment Of nearly million
dollars oach day, before signing them, and,
in addition, to read and sign the large num-
Der of letters and orders emanating from
his office, to dictate much of its corre-
spondence, and to give time for many
interviews, it will be readily seen that
Mr.. Coon is indeed busy man. Yet, not
withstanding this avalanche of business,
Mr.. Coon has such thorough knowledge
Of treasury affairs, and Is so rapid and
methodical in execution, that he does not
allow any current work of one day to 60
over to tho next. In fact, there has not
been for many years an incumbent Of the
assistant secretary's chair who has filled
it with more honor, moro ability, or who
has been more universally popular.
