Whitney Working Up n Boom.
WASHINGTON, June 29.-Secretary
Whitney, it is said, is trimming bis
sails to catch a Presidential boom
three years hence. Well informed
New York politicians make no secret
of the fact that Whitney boom is
being carefully nursed, and that with
Cleveland out of the way, the Secre-
:ary Of Navy is the man upon whom
the party will most probably unite

furnished the Democracy with most
of its Presidential candidates for a

Secretary Manning DivuIges an Office
Secret.
WASHINGTON, June ga clerk
who has been dismissed from the
Treasury Department recently called
on Secretary Manning, when the fol-
lowing conversation occurred:
81 have called, MIR. Secretary"
said the Clerk, " to ask you what
charges are against me-
There are no charges replied
Manning. You are a Republican,
aud we want your place. That's all
there is about it.
The Clerk withdrew without anoth-
Ell word.
Il told that man an untruth,"
said MIR. Manning. when his visitor
had departed. There are charges
against him He is shiftless and
incompetent clerk, and he ought to
have been discharged years ago.
Why didn't l tell bim so? Because
he would have insisted upon being
heard. This would have taken val
liable time that cannot afford to
spare. l used to be honest with
these men, until l found that they
all asked the same question. If L
heard their side of the story it would
compel me to turn my office into .
court of appeals, and l should have
little opportunity to attend to any
thing else. l make sure that the
charges are in all cases correct, and
then when l am asked for an explain
alton, | tell them what l told this
man, that they are Republicans and
we want their places. That gives
them nothing to cavil about. Such
argument is unanswerable. 1t is a
good deal easier for us, and much
more satisfactory to them. They go
away quietly and that's the last we
ever see of them.
