MORE GOSSIP ABOUT PEARsoN's NOMINATION.
TALK OF TRADES AND BARGAINS.
While the democratic politicians are wild
over the denomination of Pearson the civil ser.
vice reformers and so-called "mugwamps" are
in high spirits. They say Cleveland is coming
up to their expectations. When Mr. Beecher
was here he urged Pearson's retention. All
Schurz and Geo. w. Curtis and supported by the
Times have been fighting for him, selecting his
as a test case. The light, however. was one of
principle rather than for the man. They thought
that if his case did not recommend itself, then
there would be no hope for anybody, and the
civil service reform principle would have to go
by default.
WAS THE COUNTY DEMOCRACY FOR PEARSON?
But there is said to be something more than
the "mugwamp" influence behind Pearson's re-
tention. The county democracy are said to
have had a hand in it. 1t is limited even that
Mayor Grace, who called upon the President
Secretary Manning, and the Postmaster Gen.
eral yesterday, was working for Pearson. The
county democracy wants the relationship and
don't want the post office. But they don't
IT, II the e.. city. ,,: and L =, Is ALLEGED that
Thompson would be made collector, and the or

1t does not appear, however, that Mr.. Cleve-
land has made any promises, and it is said that

torship to succeed Robertson.
Republicans say Parsons geappointment
is the result Of trade that it s
on election day. Pearsons friends, of course
Indignantly deny this.
