THE PRESIDENTS INTENTION.
To Fill All Vacancies that Exist In Fed
eral Offices Before Congress NJ eets.

To Fill All Vacancies that Exist In Fed
ersl Offices Before Congress Meets.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.--It Is the inten-
ton of the President, the Capital says,
to complete his list Of appointments be-
fore Congress meets, in order to relieve
himself from the combined pressure OF
the politicians whom the assembling OF
that body will bring together. He pro-
poses 10 take the Officeseekers single
handed or in small detachments, instead
Of waiting for a consolidated attack, and
when the Congressman get here they will
find Rthat all the vacancies that exist or
are likely to occur have been filed. Then
the winds may roar and the thunder
may roll from the other end Of the
avenue with all possible fierceness with
out disturbing the Executive serenity.
Nor will there be many removals. The
President explained to a visitor the other
day that wherever vacancies occurred, or
good cause was shown to justify re-
movals, he wOulG appoint Democrats to
office, and the best Democrats that could
be found. The tenure of Office law was
recognized so far as was consistent with
the efficiency of the civil service, and his
party must be patient and wait for vacan-
cies to occur. He was a Democrat, the
President said. and as a Democrat be-
lieved that such policy would not only
be recognized by the people, whose re-
spect and confidence he valued, as a
proper one for him to pursue, and he be-
lieved it would STRENGTHEN the Democracy
more in the end than hustlIng all the r.
publicans out Of Office and hustling Demo-
Gratis in. He was willing to recognize that
political services entitled those who per-
formed them TO the honors that We're won
by their efforts. but such men should seek
elective offices, and not expect to find
their rewards in the patronage OF the
Executive. He did not object to receiv-
ing applications for appointments, but
rather desired them. The more numerous
the better, as they gave him larger field
to choose from, and made it easier to find
good men, but he did object, and seriously,
too, 10 the unreasonable pressure that
was often brought upon him 10 appoint
some particular man to an Office 10 which
he had no especial fitness, simply because
such man was recognized as a useful
aud competent party leader, and wanted
a place that would permit him to devote
more time to political matters than if he
were engaged in private affairs.
