FRNOR CARROLL
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.
WASHINGTON, March disappointment Clerk
HIGGINS and his patron, Senator German, are
showing a disposition to fight their enemies, and
there is a prospect of an interesting struggle.
With both the Maryland Senators, four Democratic
congressman the Mayor and other municipal of
fioers of Baltimore and formidable list of business
men of that city on his side and with feeling OF
confidence that he has the sympathy and moral
support of Secretary Manning, whose desires even
the President cannot afford to thwart or disregard
higgins faces the wrath of Mugwumps and the in
dignation of Civil Service Roformers with
an equanimty, not to say sioiidIty which shows
that he at least, feels secure In his position. AS
for Senator Gorman his remark that " the venom of
those whom he had served and who still cry for
more, no public man can hope to escape" indicates
that as as he can find time
he will reply, in what he regards as proper
terms. to the letter of Ex-Governor Carroll.
1t is believed that IN so doing he will remind Mr.
Carroll of the campaign or 1875, when, but for the
mastery of " practical politics exhibited by Mr.
OF such men as Eugene Higgins and Morris Thomas,
who, it is asserted by Baltimore men, executed
Mr.. Gornan's orders to rough" that city on cleo
tion day, J. Morrison Harris the Reform candidate
for Governor would have been elected by good
majority over Mr.. Carroll.
German will not forget to remind the Ex-Governor
that after the election of 1875 the latter acknOw-
edged his Indebtedness and showed his gratitude
TO Mr. Higgins by appointing him to Two
lucrative offices while he was holding the
chief clerkship of the Maryland Senate and
that after Thomas escaped from little difficulty
arising from his indictment for stunng ballotbox
in Baltimore at the State election in 1875, Cover
Carroll appointed him as a magistrate in that city.
senator Gorman WIZ probably Say that Higgins Is
tion and deserving of official reward
new as he ten years ago and
that Democratic National Administration cannot
afford to ignore his services now any better than
a Democratic State Administration could have
done the same thing in 1915.
1t IS understood that Mr.. Manning became ac-
quainted with Mr. Higgins in New-Yerk last fall,
aud learned to respect and admire his ability
;1s.n snd judgment asS that he practical in Do1l mo-
wise inclined TO dispense with his services There
is belief, however that the President is greatly
annoyed by the disclosures regard TO Mr.. Hig-
gins and that, in Difference to his wishes, the new
appointment clerk will be transferred TO some less
conspicuous place If he be permitted to remaiA in
the public service,
