PORT ON OFFICE-sEEKERs.
tBY TsLBoRAru THE TRIBUSg1
WASHINGTON, May 10.-A Democrat who
has been keen observer OF political affairs I'm Washing
ton since March said to-dsyi "The President has
some cause for complaint at his treatment by Democrats
members Of the Senate and House In the Of
ON mendatons for Office. They should protect him
against bad and unfit for places and to It that
no deception or imposition practsed upon him. I'M
happily for the President for the party and for the app
cants themselves, members Of Congress- as rule have
not dealt fairly with the President in their recommenda
tons Men have been recommended for offices who should
not have beon recommended and others have
commended who by their merits deserved recommends
ton The result OF this has led five appoint
mens The cause OF this is tho desire Of Con gressmen
to feather their own nests 1t was only three days ago
that Congressman stood up In the Executive Chamber
Of the White House and recommended to the President
for responsible Office drunkard and 'dead-beat.
One OF the most active and brightest and best
young this country, honest ana capable and Of
irreprOachable character, beaten for position q
few days since by stupid dolt OF fellow with hardly
enough to carry feed to borse This appointment
was made by the powerful pressure of high in,
huence. The President however is fast finding tho
men who are trying TO deceive him."
These observations are in accord with the belief OF
nearly every in Washington. The country never
had President who knew less about the leaders Of his
party, and unfortunately the members OF his Cabinet
cannot give him much help So far the State OF New
York is concerned Secretaries Manning and Whitney pos
a pretty thorough knowledge Of Democratic pOliti-
tcans, but the appointment Of such men Higgins aud
MahOn in Maryland Blackburn in Kentucky, McCanvila
in Ohio and TrOup and Pllsbury in NewEngland prove
either that Mr. Manning is careless and Indifferent 20
the proessed desires Of the President that he easily
imposed upon by Democratic leaders. The President
probably had right expect that Secretaries Bayard
and Lamar and AttorneyGeneal Garland would be ablo
to open for his inspection and guidance rich stores Of
practical information respecting the man who should aQ
ply for office In this he has been sadly disappointed
With this state Of affairs 1t is easy TO believe that the
President daily becomes more perpleXed and dis
cOuTaged, and that he has recently been heard TO
exclaim " What to do il cannot trust the men
whom the people have placed I'm power must make
these appointments, the applicants all unknown 70
me- and II cannot rely upon the Senators and Repre-
sentatives, what can do Z"
There seems to be only one remedy, TO establish q
Bureau Of Information" and place IL in the hands OF
men upon whose intelligence, honesty and Iuthluness
he can fully rely.
