Senator Dawes on Massachusetts
Politics

from Chicago Inter- Ocean Interview.l
Senator Dawes spoke of the feeling in
Massachusetts over Cleveland's appointments
The mugwumps, he said, were terribly sore
over the Presidents selection of Pilsoury,
chairman of the democrat state committee of
Maine at the time of the Garcelon fight to
be collector of internal revenue. They did
not like the selection Of "Tabulated" Chase
to fill one Of the best Offices in the gift of
the administration, nor were they much
pleased with Troup Of Connecticut being
called to the front to take collector ship.
The mugwumps charged that these men have
been offensive partisans. The Simon pure
democrats were not making any fuss, but
were willing to take whatever was offered
them in the shape Of patronage. The polite.
of Massachusetts were much about the same
from year to year. Butterism had come and
stirred up both parties, but General Butler
had ceased in his work to advance his politi-
cal ambitions, and he thought at the next an
nual election for governor, which comes off
this fall, Governor Robinson would be reelect-
ed, The senator had not seen the circular
of Postmaster General Villas relative to re-
moving republican office holders, but it
looked to him as il ''offensive partisanship''
was construed by Mr.. Cleveland to mean
the republican Office holder who was in, but
could not be applied to the man who might
succeed him. no matter how prominently he
chose to identify himself with active politics

The democrats are already beginning to
count on a republican majority in the ma
tional house TO be elected in 1886. Prece.
dent, except in Lincoln's term and Grants
first administration, they say. points to the
probability that the heartburnings over
the distribution Of Offices will end in up
setting the democratic majority. The
wbig victory under Harrison, OF 1910. was
followed by ihedemocratic House chosen
two years later. Folks success in 1874 is
to be associated with the wing House of
1876. There was the same overturning
recorded under the Taylor-Filmore admin
istration, and under Pierce and Buchanan.

Frederick I. Frelinghuysen received his
education At Rutgers College, where he was
graduated In 1886. After leaving college
no stadied law, being admitted t, the bar in
1889. He practiced law at Newark for many
wears with great success. achieving the repu-
tstion of being one of the ablest lawyers in
New Jersey. Acting with the old whig party
until lite disruption, Mr.. Frelinghuysen be-
came associated with the republican move
ment from the start, and was always an earn
est member Of the party, but during the last
years Of his life he was not an active worker.
He tirst entered public life as delegate to
the Peace Congress- Of 1861, in which he dis
played marked ability, In the same year he
VAS appointed Acknowledgement of New
Jersey by Governor Ulden. and was reap
pointed In 1866 by Governor Ward. Besides
attending ably TO the duties of his office he
rendered efficient service to the republican
party in each political campaign by his vieor
and attractiveness as n public speaker. In
November. 1866, Mr.. Frelinghuysen resigned
the Office of ATTORNEY. General and was ap-
pointed BY Governor Ward to all the vacancy

death Of VIM. Wright. He took his seat on

selected to serve on the Committees on the
Judiciary. Naval Affairs, and Claims. He
supported his party in its conflict with Presi-
dent johnson, and he was chosen to reply to
the lstter's last annual message to Congress.
Before Mr.. Frelinghuysen's term closed the
democrats had come into power in New Jer
sey, and John p. Stockton was elected as
his successor.
In July, 1870, about year after MIR. FREE
linghuysen retired from the Senate, President
Grant nominated him to be minister To Great
Britain, ia place Of John Lothrop Motley, re-
called. The nomination caused bitter de-
bate in the Senate. The Massachusetts SEN

Frelinvhuysen's confirmation because they
regarded his appointment Ms an indignity up
