NEW YORK, March 7.-Congressman Bur-
leigh, the nearest friend of President Arthur,
is wealthy lumberman at Whitehall. 1t is
said his election costs him from $4,000 to
$4,000 every two years, and that he spends
twice as much in politics in presidential
years. He is a natural politician and one of
the best posted men in the country.
He said to-day: cit is wonderful
that the hand should be Cleveland's
but the brain Tilden's that is shaping the adj
ministration. That little old dried up man
at Greystone, who ought to be saying his
prayers and consulting his Bible. with both
1eet In the grave, is master of Cleveland and
OF the Democratic party. Cleveland's nomi-
nation was settled upon in room in the
Fifth Avenue hotel between William G.
Whitney, II. o. Thompson and Smith M.
Weed. 1t took all night to convince
Weed that Cleveland was the man.
The next day he went up to Albany,
and within forty-eight hours the old
Tide n machine in New York and all over
the country was on the culver and jump for
Cleveland. The cabinet was made up that
Sunday at Greystone after the Victoria hotel
conference. They did not dare to let it go
out then but held it back to the last. Man
ming, Weed, Scott and Whitney were there
that day. ''Tilden is the brainest schemer
in his party. I think he miscalculated on
the silver question. The resolution of Mills
of Texas that the house would not take part
in the inauguration was a slap from the
silver men at Cleveland Mills, Reagan,
and nearly all the Texas members were
profanely angry when they read Cleveland's
silver letter. Hewitt and his friends in New
York are mad about Manning going into the
cabinet, but Cleveland has foreign missions
and commissionershps to use to appease
them. He may send Cooper to London for
instance.
Mr.. Burleigh says of Speaker Carlisle: He
was the best speaker ever saw. The fairest
man 1 have ever known in the chair.

WASHINGTON, March Hon. Charles s.
Fairchilds of New York city will be appointed
assistant secretary of the treasury to succeed
Mr.. Coon. Mr.. Fairchilds was attorney gen.
eral of New York state under Gov. Tilden
and conducted with great skill and much
energy the prosecution of the canal ring. He
was one of Gov. Tilden's ablest supporters
in the reform measures that distinguished
the Tilden administration of the government
of New York, and has the reputa-
ton of being an able lawyer and
a man of irreproachable character. Hon.
Isaac II. Maynard of Albany, N. Y, at pres
ent assistant attorney general of New York,
will, it is reported on good authority, be ap-
pointed assistant secretary of the treasury to
succeed Judge French. Mr.. Maynard was a
prominent actor in the reform measures,
which overthrow the Tweed and canal rings,
and has the confidence of the people
of New York without regard to party.
1t is also reported that Mr.. o. E. Stevenson
of Bloomin gton, ILL.,, is to be appointed sec
ond assistant postmaster general. While it
is unfortunately true that Mr.. Stevenson is
not citizen of New York there are cofrm
atory circumstances in the fact that he is a
friend Of Col. Villas and has been cordially
recommended to postmaster general by the
Democratic ex-members and members-elect
of congress.
