Mr.. Charles u. Coon, assistant secre'
tary of the treasury, In his letter OF fesiE-
nation, while thanking Secretary MIN
Ming for the assurances OF satisfaction
with his official conduct, says, with rel.
erence 20 Mr.. Manning's statement tnat
reasons not necessary to explain required
Mfr. Coon's resignation 60 can only M
fer from this that these reasons are pollt-
cal, I'm other words, that am TO retire
from the Office TO which I was appointed
some eighteen months ago, because am
not In political accord with my superiors.
| beg TO remind you that early
in March last, on the supposition that
there might be feeling Of this kind,
frankly informed the president and your
self that while had been promoted 70
the Office of assistant secretary, after a
service ofncarly twenty years IN the treas
ury.withOut the intervention or solicitation
of "A single politician, ] had always been
and still am Republican; that while |
did not deem Il consistent with either the
circumstances of my appointment on the
spirit OF the reform i'm the civil
service to which the administration
was pledged 10 abandon my Office because
OF political preferences, yet | was ready
TO do so at any moment II desired by
YOU. TO this you replied that you de-
sired me 70 remain and assist you, Tor
the present Mt least; but while solely in
tent on giving you loyal support In all
matters appertaining to the public busi-
ness, have not failed TO observe that
my continuance in Office has not been ac'
ccptablc TO considerable portion
OF the party press and very many
politicians. The frequent criticisms
showcred upon you in this connection
have made IL plain 10 me that public
sentiment, Us concerns one party at least,
Is not yet sufficiently advanced to en-
courage or approve the retention of sub
ordinate officers for reasons other than
political. infer that this Is also the
conclusion reached by you"
The following is Secretary Manning's
letter communicating the presidents ac-
ccptance of Mr.. Coon's resignation:

NEW York, Nov. Careful Demo
cratic estimates place the majority for
Gov. Hill at 10000. Although these lg-
ures are high, they are based upon re-
ports received 10y the state committee
from all portions OF the state. The fecl-
inc among the supporters OF Gov. Hill
last night was correspondingly Jubilant.
II was estimated by cN-Mayor cooper
that Hills majority would be large.
Another member of the committee
thought 1t would be $4,000. He said
alt Is agreed on all sides
that the administration is 10y
ally supporting the Democratic
ticket This insuves for Il all the Dem
ocratic votes. The president viii vote
in Buffalo, which, with his $1,000 check,
satisfies every one that a Democratic de-
feat would be serious blow To him.
The Republicans have no money. Ira
Davenport has given only few thousand
dollars; $4,000 is said TO be the exact
amount He IS reported 10 be worth
several millions. and his stlnginess has
had n bad effect on the workers. The
health officer Of the port is said to have
given $4,000, almost rs much as Daven-
port Senator Miller gave $1,000 and
senator Eyarts gave nothing. Wads-
worth gave S25O0, aud the other million
aire candidates have been equally close.
1t Is a wonder chat the boys are not DIS
gustcd. They will make no eXcrtions to
elect the ticket in this city"
