cciatic party which he represents in his

and the Sentinel has been at tome pains re-
Gently to point out to lis readers
the entire Unrelshllity OF the great
mass OF stuff" that is being telegraphed to
Republican newsl apers by their Washing
ton correspondents We have in the Miller
appointment an illustration OF ihs procliYitY
10 misrepresent or lie outright concerning
every movement made By the sdpinist-a-
ton. The correspondent OF thu Courier
Journal held On interview with Mr.. Man
ming in relation TO Mr.. Miller's appointment,
ara telegraEhed the details to that paper
yesterday. He first called the Secretary's
attention TO the following dispatch sent from
Washington TO Western newspaper:
Operating against Thompson too, was a we'll
grounded report that Secre tsTy Manning may re-
view and modify. IL not entirely annul, the regu-
lstions issued By Secretary Mecuiloch, which
gave the whisky trade seven additional months
in which 10 pay taxes already past due In this
view OF G possible contingency, Secretary Man
would embarrassed
TboDpson al the head OF the Revenue Bureau,
for The reason that he was one OF the instrd-
mentaiities operating to prevsil upon Secretary
hCCullooh to issue the regulations which nay be
Iaisfc.
Now we cali the special attention of our
readers to the reply made By Mr.. Manning:
There is absolutely nothing in thst report. IL
is Ike great deal OF stuff that has been seut out
hom here in connection with the con test for tn 1t
Office, end au attempt has bsea made by few
DeTtons TO e.eate the impression that the appoint
his fiiends ard a rebuke OF the views these gen.
tlemen entertain upon revenue matters. Gu eh is
not the case see dispatch from Louisville sta tes
that MIR. Natterson has this idea. 1 am sorry. but
Il c impression is wrong one. The appointment
Of Mr.. Miller has no significance Whatever in the
Nj. Miller entertains different views from Mr.
Thompson upon the mode and manner OF coa-
duciing the Commissioners office | have the
highest regard for Speaker Carlisle and his Ken
tUcky friends. | was sorry in not being able to
please them in the appointment | also haze a
ElEu1g 4eeIlIS MI 11OilISO1s AuU Sldti eA-
hibit ii at the first opportunity As to the para.
FTsph You refer to repeat tbatit is wholly false.
When came in Office Secretary McC1lloch aud l
all over the question of the seven additional
months granted the whisky trade to pay its taxes,
and the reasons be gave for making the ruling
were quite satisfactory. The trade is still receiv-
ing the benefit of the ruling, and that Is s1tfi-
cient.
The foregoing reply gives the theories sd-
vsnced by the opposition press of the Miller
appointment q terrible JOLT which topples
them 10 pieces. We refer to the matter to
demonstrate TO our readers that the char
acter of the opposition 10 Mr.. Oleveland's
administration srtakes largely Of vol ish-
ness and an bsndonment OF every thing thst
is fair and onorable-heretofore known
only to a very limited extent in American
politics
