dent Arthur has almost dropped out Of sight
Mr.. Arthur has practically retired from political
and business matters. He seldom goes out, ex-

tinus to accomplish good deal Of work; but SO

MINOR MATTERS.

Secretary Bayard's Unpopularity and the
People Who Complain of Him.
Special to the indianapolis JournaI-
WASHINGTON, Jan. LA great deal has been
said during the past three or four weeks about
the unpopularity of Secretary Bayafd. It has
been stated that he was in bad odor with his
the Cabinet No especial reason has been as
signed for this condition of unpopularity One
of Mr.. Bayard's closest friends gave version of
1t to your correspondent to-day, however. He
said that Mr.. Bayard had refused to make that
clean sweep in the consular and diplomatic serv-
ice which the masses of the party demanded.
He said that there had been al least two hundred
demands for every position under Mr.. Dayard
where change had taken place, and that it re-
quired the highest order of diplomacy to make
those changes without offending the entire body
of Democratic representatives The talk about
the Secretary, therefore, comes from congress-
men and others who have been disappointed in
securing positions at the State Department The
gentleman did not believe that there were any
strained relations between the President and Mr..
Bayard, but predicted that the latter would have
some trouble in procuring VIII at he wanted from
Congress.
Charges Against Unconfirmed Postmasters.
Special to the Indiana polis Journal
WAsHIEcToN,-las tx member, Of the
Senate committee on postofices and postroads
said, to-day. that there had been so far no as
signments Of charges preferred against nomi-
nees made by that committee-that is, the
charges which have been sent from different
parts of the country to the committee. and to
senator's generally, had not been referred to the
sub-committemen having the nominations to
which they referred in custody At the first
meeting of the committee, in January, he pre-
dicted that there would be classification Of ali
charges against nominations generally and that
they would be properly referred, and that their
actual work would begin. When asked if it was
probable that any great proportion of the
postmasters nominated would have to withstand
charges, he replied that it would not fall far
short OF one-fourth Of the aggregate. OF this
number he predicted that 20 per cent. would fail
of confirmation. He believed that there were
more charges preferred against postmasters than
any other class Of appointees, because there
was, as general rule, more Of local politics in
the postofices under consideration than of the
personal qualities Of the postmaster.
