After the Director Of the Mint.


Some of the western democrats are going to
make q fight upon Director OF the Mint
Burchard. Mr.. Burchard's tenure Of ONCE 10
for hve years, and extends all through Mr..
Clevelands term. There has been no idea that
he would be disturbed, but now war is declared
against him from the west and IL is understood
that an effort will be pushed TO make o case out
against him which will be deemed sufficient
cause for his removal, SO that q democrat can be
appointed in his place. His opponents say that
he has absolute Dictatorship over about q thou
sand offices In the service. They say he is ex-
erting himself to prevent the removal of
any Of the republicans employed under
him. Those who are leading the move
ment against him say that he is bound
In the banks and manipulates his figures in
their interest. Congress appropriates a certain
sum OF money every year for getting up a
statement Of the yield Of precious metals in
this country, and they say that in making his
report he relies upon guesswork chiefly and
represents the silver yield greatly larger
than 1t is, 20 as to depreciate IL in value. They
say that this is done in the interest Of the
national banks of the east and that he is COM
pletely under their control. They are not press
ing anybody for the place now, but simply
want to get Burchard out,
