COLONEL MCCLURE, of the Philadelphia
Times, has been in Washington recently,
and he is giving some practical ideas of the
exact situation Of office-hunting and OH &C.
seeking alters. He says that while many
Democrats complain because there are not
prompt removals Of Federal officers who
have abused their official positions as
Iartissus, they are forgetful that there ar
no charges or formal complaints before the
President or Cabinet officers against the
officials whose removal is demanded. There
IS growing because the President does not
remove offensive officials in Philadelphia,
but there is not as yet charge or q CON-
plant on file in Washington against one OF
them, and the law absolutely forbids their
removal except for cause.
Colonel Mcclure Ssys that there ere over
3 COO offices now made vacant by resigns-
tons and deaths, and there has not been
tine enough to fill them; that the President
and Cabinet officers have arduous duties in
the great work of starting an administration
