A Sensitive Caller Upon the President Pain
fully Affected by His Conversation.
Washington Special to New York World
A sensitive Democrat. who called on the Pres
ident yesterday, said: Il was panied to hear the
way the President went on when l mentioned to
him the case of Vincent, the deposed Chief
justice of Mexico I said to him: Vincent is
good Democrat Don't you think you have been
hasty in suspending himp What I meant was
that the President should give Democrats a
chance to be heard before swooping down upon
them as he would upon a Republican Office
holder"
YES" said the President in reply II knew
he was Democrat. He was indorsed to me by
one of the loudest-mouthed Democrats in Con-
gress, and had more Democrats asking to have
him nominated than anybody who has been
called to my attention for some time. He was
also appointed by Democrat. and ne was sns-
pended upon charges preferred by Democrat"
the sensitive caller said the emphasis on the
word democrat" in the Presidents short
speech. grated upon his nerves. The tones of
the Presidents voice were not sympathetic
enough for him. He said the President pro-
nounced the word Democrat" just as mug
wump would 1t the Presidents tone of
voice which has made this caller suspect the
Presidents fidelity to the Democratic party.

THE TROUBLESOME PROHIBITIONIsTS.

An Experiment Which Democratic Campaign
Managers Will Not Repeat
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Oct 19-If it is true that the
Prohibition candidates in Ohio were sustained
in their recent campaign by Democratic funds,
the result has been very unsatisfactory that
party, and that enterprise will never be put
forward again. There is no element in the conn
try just now that is receiving more curses from
the Democrats here than the sProhibitonist
The Democratic party, it is believed. suffered
very materially from the Prohibition campaign.
The question that worries the party more than
defeat. however, seems to be the course of the
Prohibitionists in the future. If they are to
take the direction they did in the
campaign last past the element was very troub
lesome one. Some of the schemers of the party
are at work to have the Republicans concede
enough of the demands of the Prohibitionists to
receive the support of the latter party, SO that
the issue will be- in many States, three years
hence. Democracy against Republicansm and
Prohibition.
The Democratic leaders here think they can
defeat both of the opposition parties if they can
get them allied together, and that is to be the
bent in the future. Much fear is entertained of
the part this third party will take in the cam
paign in New York. The Democrats are saying
the Prohibitionists will throw their strength to
the Republicans. while he latter believe the
Democrats are handling tine Prohibitionsts. as
they tried to- if they really did not in Ohio.

Further Evidence of Dishonesty in the Coast
and Geodetic Survey.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 10 1t seems that there is
to be no end to the scandals growing out of the
Coast and Geodetic Surveys and the Fish Com
mission. Officers engaged in looking into the
accounts of these branches of the government
service are making direct charges of wholesale
frauds A sample of them was given your cor
respondent by one of the accountants to-day.
1t has been discovered that an employee of the
Fish Commission perpetrated very clever little
scheme, a short time ago, which relieved the
government of good many thousands. and
taught other officers lesson that may be profit
ablo
The employe referred to purchased, not many
months ago. the body of land on which is now
located what is known as the Jerome Station, on
the lower Chesapeake. The amount to be paid
for it was very small as the property was of
scarcely any value. But he knew what purpose
he could apply it to. He leased it to the gov
eminent, through superior officers with the pro-
vision that there should be not less than $685.
600 worth of improvements made upon the land,
and they to become the property of the lessor
at the expiration of the lease. The improve
ments have been made, and consist of walks,
roads, substantial buildings. etc.
1t is charged, also, that duplicate and tripli

prominent Democratic senator told me last
week of peculiar experience which he had with
the Presiden. He called upon him last spring.
at time when there was very animated con-
test going on in his State over the Offices of the
collectors Of internal revenue There were SO
many candidates and the contest was SO bitter
that the senator said to the President: 81 will
withdraw from this matter and let you decide
between all of these gentlemen yourself There
are SO many men already in the race that I will
not embarrass you with any suggestion" The
President intimated that it was cowardice on
the part OF the senator TO seek to avoid response
bility; At this the senator replied II am will
ing to take the responsibility and settle the mat
ter for yon right off if you will give me the
power to make the appointments. I will take
somebody in each case outside of the existing
list of applicants. I will give you good men,
and if you find no objections to them l shall
expect You to appoint them" The President
then said Give me their names and they shall
be appointed" The names were given. Within
short time one of the men named was APP
pointed, but no other of the senator's selections
was appointed. In his own town bitter per-
sonal enemy of his was given one of the places.
Naturally he felt hurt. The next time he was IN
Washington he called upon the President and
said to him: II do not think that have been
fairly treated. You must remember that origl-
inally l made no suggestions When / did con-
sent to name candidates for these Offices it was
only at your earnest solicitation. One of the men
that you have appointed is of all others the one
who is the most Objectionable to me-" The Pres
ident laughed at this as if the subject was not
serious enough for explanation. but he became
grave enough when the senator added, 'Sr,
shall never be caught in such an embarrassing
situation again. I shall never make another
suggestion to you or present for your considera
ton another candidate for appointment" This
came from one of The most vigorous of the Dem
ocratic leaders in the last campaign, gentleman
who contributed as much Individually to the
Presidents election as any other one man.

The Administration Relaxing Its Line of
Civil-Service Reform.
Washington Special.
There Is evidence of relaxation from the
strict line IF civil service observance with which
the administration began its work. 1t was un-
derstood that deputies and chiefs of divisions
who had become expert in their duties, and who
had not been 'offenslyely partisan" would not
be disturbed in their positions; but that their
long and faithful services would be recognized
by their retention IN office.
Recently, however, changes in this class of
officials have been summarily made. and in a
manner that indicates settled policy to make a
raid along the whole line The deputy register,
deputy first auditor and deputy fourth auditor
have all been displaced. No charges have been
brought against these gentlemen, bnt their
places were wanted for Democrats They were
all skilled in the duties in their respective
Offices, and had frequently managed their
bureaus during the absence of their chiefs. In
one case the deputy was not removed absolutely.
for the department. did not decide to be deprived
of his valuable knowledge, gathered by long
years of faithful service, but he was reduced to
the head of division. and a man wholly mex
perienced. but Democrat, was made deputy.
Other changes of Il like character are expected,
ard it is believed that the administration has
come to the conclusion that the hungry Demo
Gratis must be provided for.

SpeciaI to the Indianapolis Journas.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19-The Forthcoming re-
port OF the Secretary of the Treasury is looked
for with greater interest, generally, than that of
any other document in preparation by the Cab
met or even the Presidents message. The
financial men of the East are showing more than
ordinary eagerness to learn of its Importance by
coming here to catch some hint concerning it or
employing agents to look it up.
So far, the administration has been content to
plOd along in the paths beaten by Republicans
years ago, which have been acceptable to the
business of the country. But somehow there is
an impression extant that new departure is
about to be attempted fear, consequently,
is felt that it may prove disastrous. 1t is for an
inkng of the nature of this anticipated new de-
oarture that SO many necks are craned and so
many ears areto the ground.
The only deviation of consequence so far no.
iceable in this administration in fnancia! mat

new form has been adopted in this respect. the
principal merit of which is that it so mystifes
matters that none but experts can tell whether
