THE INDIANAPOLIS posToFr1cE.

The Vice-President and Mr.. Bynum Again
Call on the President.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March l3-Vice- president Hen
bricks and Representative Bynum have both
waited upon President Cleveland again in regard
to the indianapolis postmastership. Mr.. Hen
bricks represents that he has recommended Jones
and Byfeld in the same terms, showing partially
to neither; but it is understood he hopes TO see
Jones appointed and Indianians think that his
hopes will be gratifed While it is unusual for
Vicepresident to interfere in matter of this
kind, it is almost certain that he can name
postmaster at his own homo. Mr.. Byfeld, it is
said, has been telegraphed by his friend Sulli-
van, of indianapolis, who has just arrived from
the East to return here. Sullivan believes he
can fight Byfelds appointment through, and he
is expected here tomorrow night from Indian

A Man of Alleged Intelligence Repeats q
Number of Stale ISLANDERS.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March l3--Here at the capital,
where can be found pilgrims from every State
in the Union. incidents are constantly occurring
that seem so improbable to welinformed people
as to be absolutely incredible. Hoosier from
of the counties the Decline, who has been
a resident here for some years, was brought into
contact with an old gentleman from Tennessee.
He was man of more than ordinary intelligence,
having successfully followed his profession, and
amassed comfortable competency. Our
Hoosier friend and the Tennesseean soon reached
the common topic of politcs-a subject that is
always in order in Washington. The Hoosier
alluded to the oppression of Union men in the
South-black and whitc--an1 made the remark
that there never would be real peace between
the sections till that was all done away with.
''Oh,' said the Southerner "that is no worse
than takes place in every Northern State The
men in all those large manufactures and ma
chine shops in the North-look how the bosses
of such concerns make their employees walk up
to the polls and vote just as they order them to.

deep, dark, density of the ignorance that must
prevail among the masses Of the people of the
South. For if he-an educated professional
man-has been made to believe such stuff, what
will not the ignorant, gallowsed, copperas-
brooches masses of the Southern States not
swallows
The Hoosier assured the Tennesseean that he
was msinformed that if the head of any large
establishment in the North should undertake to
coerce his employees as he said the divers did,
he would only succeed in iniuring his own party
by turning the sympathy of the masses against
him and his cause, and would hardly escape with
his life If he proceeded to acts of oppression.
But it did no good. The man had thoroughly
imbibed the poison, and refused to believe the
truth. The Oliver ISLANDERS have been thorough
ly disseminated and believed in the South, and
that lie is to be made the cloak for the outrages
that are hereafter to be perpetrated in the South
ern States in order that the shotgun and the
lead pencil may nulify the honest suffrages Of
the Northern and Western States.

CLEyELAND,s PLAIN TALK.
Hendricks and Voorhees, Rebuffed at the
White House.

Washington Special
Vice-president Hendricks and Senator Voor-
hees have had an interview with the President.
in which they tried to persuade him that no
ought to move promptly in putting Republicans
out and filling their places with Democrats.
They presented all the arguments of party policy
and OF the doctrine to the victors belong the
spoils. President Cleveland heard them through,
and then told them plainly that he intended to
carry out the propositions he had set forth in
his letter the civil service and the declaration
of his inaugural on the same subject He held
the party by its eivil-seryice law to be bound to
an honest effort to carry its principle into effect
Both Mr. Hendricks and Senator Voorhees,
dssented most emphaticaliy from the position
of the President and especially from the pur-
pose he announced of making changes very
slowly, and except in those classes Of Offices
which every one expects to change almost at
once with an administration making them only
for cause. The Presidents views if carried
out, will mot, speaking generally, give the
offices to Democrats much faster than commits

The desperation to which President Cleveland
has driven the members of his party by failing
to act promptly, is illustrated not only by the
Hendricks interview, but by the experience of a
Democratic SENATOR who visited the White
House determined to make an issue. The
senator, when accorded an interview went
straight at the subject by asking tho President,

of federal patronage. In other words, boldly said
the senator: They want to know If you propose

Mr.. Cleveland is said to have answered with
out moments hesitation, and with great EN-
phasis, that there should be no lack of informar

to George William Curtis, and the sentiment ex-
pressed in his inaugural, were, he thought ex-

WASHINGTON, March 13-It is said that there
were several officeseekers that called within an
hour upon a prominent Western Democratic
senator, this morning, and that he had the good
nature to dispose of all of them without dampen
ing their ambition. The rush for Office is com
ing up to the high standard set last week. For
the first three days this week there was lull,
caused by the impression that the men filing

tenure. This caused a great deal of temporary
dissatisfaction. too.
scheme has been devised which, although
not very ingenious, will result, if properly
carried out, in making good many thousand
vacancies without violating the letter of the civil

them to conviction and dismissal

should think Mr.. Cleveland gave strong enough
intimation of it in his inaugural address. Of
course, he did not say how men
were to be removed who had participated
in politics beyond the bare exercise
of their franchise, but he surely said they would
go, and this is the way it is to be done. Charges
will be preferred, and special agents will invest

half of the Offices within six months. And
furthermore, can tell you, there will be an
army of these clerks here in the departments
who will go on account of their political work"
By some manner the impression has grown
here to-day that while Mr. Cleveland is civil
service reformer he is not the kind of ono the
Office holders want, and that any scheme will be
manipulated that can make subterfuge for re-
moving officers. The pressure for place is be-
coming irresistible.
