Burchard Becoming "OTensive."

NEW YORK, June GA Washing
ton special to the Evening Post says:
Mr.. Burchard, director of the mint, &C.
cording to the present statement, has
decided to test the power of the Presi-
dent to remove him from office. There
are two Offices in tho treasury which
were created by special statute, the
tenure of which, it is assured, makes
it impossible tor the President to sus-
pend the incumbent unless the Senate
shall consent. The offices are those Of
director of the mint and comptroller Of
the currency. The law under which
the director of the mint receives his
appointment Is as follows:
He shall be appointed by the Presi-
dent, by. and with the advice and con-
sent of the Senate, and shall be the
head of his office for a term of five
wears, unless sooner removed by the
President upon reasons to be commu-
nicated by him to the Senate.
The claim Is that the phraseology OF
this act differs from all general stat
utes as to appointments, and that
though the director may be sus-
pended during the recess, his Office
will revert to him should the Senate
fail to confirm his successor, those who
take contrary views maintaining that
the special statute creating the office,
If it means what the friends Of the in
cumbent claim, is violation Of the
constitutional rights Of the President
to appoint to Office. A request has
been made for the resignation of Mr..
Burchard. He will undoubtedly be
compelled to resign. He is not in SYM
patty with the financial views of
Treasurer Jordan, and is In some re-
spects opposed to the secretary's pol
Icy. From the outset of the adminis-
tration he has interposed legal and
other objections to the plans of the
treasury officers. There have been
many conflicts of opinion and Mr..
Burchard is regarded by the new
treasury officers as an obstructionist.
It has been the intention, for some
time, to secure his removal and his
superiors were not quite certain what
effect would be given to the special
statute under which he held this Of
fee. It has been hoped that he
would resign. Charges have been
made against him. One ID that he

fairs.

fairs.
WASHINGTON, June 26.-Ex-Senator
Chaffee, of Colorado, chairman of the
Republican national executive COM
mittee, in an informal talk, said:
"Out West Mr.. Cleveland is break
ing up all the old lines. The Republic
cans are inclined to praise him and the
Democrats to abuse him. His admins
tration suits me well enough SO far,
excepting in one particular. He is ali
wrong on the silver question:. His ad-
ADMINISTRATION will be wrecked on that
issue il ne persists in his effort TO de-
monetize silver. That Is what all the
propositions so far made tend to. The
people of the West will never submit
to such a course. 1t is as bad for the
East as it is for the West, but the peo-
pie of the East are blinded by
the bankers and newspapers, though
/ see that some OF the
New York bankers are beginning
to get their eyes open to the danger
of demonstrating silver. 1t is possible
trouble in the South from the aboli-
ton OF the color line. His action In
taking away the commission of Meade,
of Mississippi, the Copiah County muir
derer, was good stroke. 1t will
give confidence to the colored men that
they will be protected in voting. Then
the whites will be obliged to count
their votes instead of terroriZing. This
will bring about division on new
lines in the South, and an opposition
party may spring up which would be
dangerous to the Democrats. So far,
Cleveland is only following in the
footsteps of the Republican party. As
long as he follows Republican princi-
pies of action he is likely to have the
support of Republicans to greater
extent than Democrats"
"What about 1882"
~ believe that the old fellows must
all take back seat In the Republican
party and let the young men come to
the front. A new generation has
grown up. The old factions have worn
the party threadbare. 1t was SO with
the Democratic party, but their young
men got hold of the machinery of the
party. They nominated an obscure
man, practically without record,
and elected him. The same things are
working in the Republican party to
force us to follow this lead. l remem-
Der Senator Timothy o. Howe telling
me once, after he had been Is years in
Washington, that he couldn't get re-
election because he didn't know the
local leaders of his party. They had
grown up in his absence. They only
knew the men next door to them and
elected another man-one Of their own
number. These things may help the
Republican party to return to power
the silver issue, the color-line and the
new leadership"
