WARNER IN WAR PAINT
KELLAR AND THE CIVIL SER.
VICE COMMISSION HIS FOES.

Cleveland Not at ALI Apt to Pay Any At
tention To the Demands of the ohiosn
-Heiiar's Scslp Sure to g0, However
Another Poet Mado Happy.
WASHINGTON, July 10.-Audrew Jack
son Warner, of Ohio, is here to secure
some removals. He will be satisfied if he
succeeds in having Mr.. Kellar turned out
OF the First Auditors Office, but he hopes
to have the members of the Civil Service
Commission turned out at the same time.
Mr.. Warner is very angry At the Civil
Service Commission for thwarting him in
bis attempt 10 prevent Mr.. Kellar's APP
pointment. He has had the old idea of
the Bourbon Democratic politicians, that
under a Democratic administration he
can do about as he pleases In such
matter as this. Mr.. Keller WAS Repub-
lican whom he did not wish ap pointed to
office, and be thought that TO say so was
to prevent his appointment.
LEARNS HIS MISTAKE.
lie has learned that the President and
mis- Secretary mean what they profess in
regard to civil service reform. Now he is
sailing on another tack. He went to the
Secretary of the Treasury to-day and said
that he wanted Mr. Kellar removed. he
said that he did not base his opposition to
Mr.. kellar on the ground that MIR. hellar
was Repu Oiican. but on the ground that
he was, in the last campaign and in pre-
yiOus campaigns, very Offensive parti-
san, c0rrupJer Of votes and an active
and obnoxious political striker. He
was obnoxious not only to Democrats,
but to all decent citizens.
OHIO WAS sCANDALIZED.
They felt scandalized by his appoint
mcnt to office ut Washington. What he
objected to most was the indecent haste
with which the Civil Service Commission
acted. He thought that the commission
might have waited at least until the
charges against Mr.. KeIlar could be in
vestigated. However, he thinks he will
get Mr.. Kellar's scalp, and he is hopeful
that he may convince the President that
some of, if not all, the members of the
Civil Service Commission must 60.
KELLAR's REMOVAL PROBABLE.
1t is probable that Mr. Kellar will be
removed. First Auditor ChenOwIth dis
liked him the first minute he saw him.
He was very angry at being obliged TO
take him when he did not want him and
be will be very glad TO dismiss him. He
viii probably remove him at the first OPP
pOrtunity, but the President will not
ratify MIR. Warner by dismissing the Civil
Service Commissioners. 1t is understood
that the President thinks that the per
sonnel of the Civil Service Commission
might be improved, but he will not inn
prove it by removing any OF its members
at the demand of air. Warner.
