AFTER ELECTION TALK.
Various Views Of Democrats.

The New York and Virginia elections are still
the principal subject of discussion among poll
ticians about town. While many of the demo-
Gratis insist that the victory was in spite of the
President, many assert boldly that it demon
strates that the President was right in the as
sumption that the correct thing to do to secure
party success was to let the politicians take
care of themselves, without any party interior
ence.
WHAT EX-REPRESENTATIvE HOPKINS SAYS.
1--WE condemned the republican party" says
ex-Representative Hopkins, .tor the use of
patronage to influence elections and keep them
selves in office, and loudly proclaimed that the
democratic party was honestly in the majority
when no improper influence was used against
them. But IL was very hard, when we got into
power, to keep from folio wing their example.
1T was great temptation, and the party was
with patronage. Lots of us felt very bad be-
cause he would not do it. but the result of this
contest shows that he was right; that the only
thing necessary tn success was to let the party
alone. II demonstrates beyond a doubt the wis
dom of his course 1t is an Endorsement of his
policy, and shows that he is wiser than those
who cry out for assistance"
THE FUTURE OF MALONE AND WISE

Gen. HaXen Talks.

HE DEFENDS THE FORT MYER CoURT-MARTI Al
AND HAS FEW WORDS TO SAY ABOUT
PRIVATE O'CoNNoR.
In speaking of the court-martial at Fort Myer
to STAR reporter to-day Gen. Hazen said:
''The court was in every way regular, just as is
required by law for every military post in the
service for minor breaches of discipline. Not to
have taken action would have been a serious
neglect OF duty on my part. A garrison court
at u post corresponds to police court i'm town,
and practice before it is OF the same grade. But
before any one can appear as counsel in mill
tary court he must he formally asked for, and
the court must consider the request and FORM
ally accept the counsel. The form is exactly
fixed by law, and there can be no deviation
from il. This fact was not known, which led to
counsel's mistakes What MIR. Garnet is al
legged to have said of me chief signal officer is
not only coarse and gross, but false. The noise
made about this court is simply ridiculous and
is chiefly the work of counsel"

to find il this was true, and the superstition was
mainly confirmed. On July 3oth, soon after

count he was not tried for desertion, as he
ought to have been, but for absence without

CHANGES IN THE OFFICES.
The New Civil Service Comm issiouers-
Appointments To-Day.

The President this afternoon made the follow
ing appointments:
VIM. Foxem, of Michigan, register of the land
Office at Detroit.
E. L. Carson, Of Texas, Indian agent at the
Ouray agency, Utah.
L. o. Knapp. of New Mexico, receiver OF pub
lie money at Santa Fe, New Mexico.
The President has appointed ex-Representa-
tive Alfred p. Edgerton, of Fort Wayne, Ind
and Col. William l.. Trenholm, of Charleston
S. c., to succeed Messrs. Eaton and Gregory as
civil service commissioners.
The name OF MIR. Edgerton was suggested by
Chief Justice Waite, whom the President had
asked for a suggestion. The appointee is about
sixty-eight years old, and was born i'm the state
of New York. While still young man he re-
moved to northern Ohio as the agent OF the
Northern Land company. In 1S4S he was
elected to the state Senate of Ohio. and for four
years, 1S50'53. he was a Representative in
Congress, after which he retired for a time from
political life, and made a fortune in the real
estate business. In 1858 he removed TO Fort
Wayne, Ind. In 1865 he was the democratic
candidate for lieutenant governor. Vice Pres.
dent Hendricks being the candidate for COVER
nor. They We're both defeated. AS a democrat
he refused to support Greedy in 1872, and came
within six votes of being nominated for Vice
President on the O'Connor ticket over John
Quincy Adams, jr. He was then nominated as
the straig htOut democratic candidate for COVER
nor OF Indiana, but declined in a letter which
urged all democrats TO support Mr.. Hendricks.
and the latter was elected. For fifteen years he
has been unanimously elected by the common
council of Fort Wayne the president of its
board of education. Chief Justice Waite, SEN
ator Payne, Gov. Gray, of Indiana; Vice Presi-
dent Hendricks and many leading citizens of
Ohio and Indiana, warmly indorse him pos
sessing qualities peculiarly fitting him for the
work of the civil service commission.
Col. Trenholm, who is about 30 years old. is a
son or the late secretary OF the treasury of the
southern coniederacy; is prominent business
man of Charleston and is well known as "A man
OF progressive ideas. He is an earnest advocate
OF civil service reform, and has come into prom
1nence recently through the advanced views on
the silver question expressed before the bank
ers' conventions, The Charleston NeUs and
Courier speaks in the highest praise OF the APP
pointment. 1t says he "believes firmly in the
principles which were sought to be applied to
the public service in the law and regulations
now in force. But he is no dreamer, ana will
take, we are confident, a thoroughly business
like view of the matter, seeking always sub
stantlal results of public value rather than the
qualification of an idea"
The Acting Secretary of the Treasury yeSter-
day appointed VIM. Il. Austin to be keeper of
Gilgo lite-saving station. on Long Island. Also,
