WASHINGTON, April 15.-The return of
Secretary Manning to his desk to-day, after
a visit to Albany and sly old Sammy Tilden
at Greystone, was the signal for all ava
lanche of visitors to the treasury depart
ment far exceeding that of any other day
since his introduction into office. His ar
rival has been eagerly looked forward to as
the signal for important changes soon to
occur, as well in prominent local posi-
tions as in the bureau offices of the depart
ment The second comptroller and
the first, second, third, fourth, and
fifth auditors have been hanging
on the tentor hooks, sadly awaiting the in
suspicious hour of decapitation, although
Mr.. Reynolds, the second auditor, still
clings fondly to the delusive hope that, hav-
ing survived the administration of Presi-
dent Arthur, he having been
A PRONOUNCED HALF-BREED,
he may yet be spared, like certain of his
predecessors, throughout the changes of po-
itical administration. Whether it be that
prominent seekers of office are hawking for
higher game, or impressed with the fact that
President Cleveland and Secretary Manning
dOnot favorably regard the unfortunate class,
very few names are mentioned in connection
with the second comptrollership and the
several auditorships, and therefore specu-
lation as to the possible new incumbents of
these positions are sadly at fault. More
over, the secrets of the administration are
so admirably kept that Dame Rumor finds
but little wherein to feed. There can be
no doubt that the determination will soon
be reached concerning the
BUREAU CHANGES
in the treasury department, which are far
less embarrassing than the solution of i'm
portant political problems in New York
city and state. 1t is the current belief that
New York state has been practically de-
termined upon, and that the president will
be largely guided by the advice of Secretary
Manning in all matters relating to New
York appointments.
The Tammany braves believe than the
crucial moment has arrived, as Mr.. Hugh
Grant, Tammany's late-defeated candidate
candidate for mayor of of New York city,
put in an appearance to-day and visited the
president in company with Mr. Thomas f.
GilrOy and Judge McWade. Mr.. Grant
fatty denies that his visit was for any other
purpose than
PAYING HIS RESPECTS
10 Tile pTeSlu6nt, DuU uildU Inlay mean great
deal when the distribution of the patronage
of New York is at stake There is consid-
cradle gossip tonight at Wizards and the
Arlington respecting the visit of Tammany' S
delegation, and the opinion is generally eX-
pressed that the Interior object of the en-
basSy was to secure recognition upon any
reasonable and fair terms. How far success
will attend their effort is matter of con-
lecture. The administration earnestly de-
sires union among the factions of
NEW YORK DEMOCRACY
to the end that the state may be carried
this fall beyond any peradventnre, and will
yield much to secure this desirable end.
There is trouble among the resident as
pirants for office in the District of Column
bia, growing out of rumor that the presi-
dent has become weary OF the fractional
fights and the inability or indisposition to
unite upon any one candidate, and is
therefore likely to go outside of the district
to select the incumbents.
A new candidate for United States mar
shall is announced in the person of Calderon
Carlisle, son of the late j. NJ. Carlisle, one
of the prominent lawyers of the old Wash
ington regime. Mr.. McMIichael, the pres
ent encumbent, is ready to vacale whenever
called upon, as he recognizes that relations
between the president and the marshal of
the district are necessarily of confding
nature, socially and otherwise.
