KEEP AN EYE ON THEM.

Disreputsble efforts are being made with
every appointment made by the President to
weaken his rapidly increasing strength with
tue great macs OF the people, With the ap.
pointment OF Mr.. Miller to the Internal Rev
enue Department came the charge from the
Republican organs that IL was a great
triumph for Mr. Randall and the high pro-
tective theories OF the Republican party-so
far as they are supposed to be represented by
that gentleman. II was charged that the APP
pointment was q slap at Mr. Carlislea and
that large and important portion OF the Dem.
ocratic party which he represents in his
views OF tariff matters. This is all nonsense,
and the Sentinel has been at some pains re.
Gently TO point out to It's readers
the entire unreliabiity OF the great
mass of stuff" that is being telegrsphed to
Republican newsI apers by their Washing
ton correspondents We have in the Miller
appointment an illustration OF the proclivitY
10 misrepresent or lie outright concerning
every movement made by the administra-
ton. The correspondent OF the Courier
Journal held an interview with Mr.. Mau-
ming in relation TO Mr.. Miller's appointment,
ana telegraPhed the details to that paper
yesterday. He first called the Secretary's
attention to the following dispatch sent from
Washington to Western newspaper:
Operating against Thompson, too, was a we'll
grounded report that Secretary Manning may re.
view and modify. IL not entirely annul, the regu-
lations issued by Secretary McCulloch, which
gave the whisky trade seven additional months
IN which to pay taxes already past due. In this
view OF d possible contingency, Secretary Man.
ming felt be would be embarrassed with Mr..
Thompson at The head OF the Revenue Bureau,
for the reason that he was one OF the inslru.
menialities operating TO prevail upon Secretary
McCulloch 10 issue the regulations which may be
rais(d.
Row we call the special attention OF our
readers TO the reply made by Mr.. Manning:
There is absolutely nothing in that report IL
Is like great deal OF stuff that has been sent oat
from here in connection with the contest for THAI
cfhce, and an attempt has been made by a few
persons 10 create the impression that the appoint
ment Of Mr. Miller was a slap at Mr.. Carlisle and
his friends and rebuke OF the views these gen.
tlemen entertain upon revenue matters. such is
not the see dispatch from Louisville states
that Dir. WatteTson has this idea. I am sorry. but
the impression is o wrong one. The appointment
OF Mr.. Miller has no significance whatever In the
matter OF revenue reform. / do not know that
Mr.. Miller entertains different views from Mr.
Thompson upon the mode and manner of con-
Quoting the commissioners Office. I have the
highest regard for Speaker Carlisle and his Ken
lucky friends 1 was sorry in not being able TO

ing granted . writ of error in the case Of
Msckin and Gallagher, convicted of election
frauds. They were committed to bail in the

In reviewing the case Judge Gresham said
that after examining the records of the Dis
trict Court. he considered the questions
raised sufficiently grave to warrant him in
granting q writ of error which would also
act as q stay of proceedings. The ruling.
however, was not to be taken as an indics-
ton that he would override the findings of

granting the writ he would feel it necessary
to increase the bond of defendants to $50. 600.
