WAsHINsToN d, O., March 3l.-Mr,
Whitney, the Secretary of the Navy, has
been ysriously charged with interference
In Ohio affairs through his domestic relR.
tiions with the highest official connec.
ton with that clique, The fact is, Mr.,
Whitney has from the frst refused to have
anything to do with Ohio matters, He gets
out Of patience at any suggestion Of the
sort, II comes from tundoIbted authori.
ty that even to the President Mr.. Whit
ney has expressed himself in terms OF the
strongest diSSpprobatlon OF the ring De,
mocracy Of Ohio, and on one occasion ut.
tered wish aSto where he desired Ohio to
60, the strength OF which was sufficient
excuse for its lack Of elegance, He de.
ClaFes that he has never meddled In any
way with Ohio appointments. When ap.
preached in relation 10 the Cincinnati
PostottiCe, he said, angrily, ~ don't know
anything about II, and don't want to. y
A letter, which was sent to him by a
friend connected with railroad Of which
he was oncs receiver, asking him TO assist
in procuring the appointment OF Gillespie
to be postmaster at Dayton, he turned
over without recommendation 10 the Poet
office Department, as he has all other
papers Of the sort, and II is asserted at
that he has never made any
recommendation, verbally or by letter, ia
connection with Ohio matters. Not only
that, but he gets very impatient and EN-,
phatic when anything Of the sort Is mem
toned.
Mr., Whitney does not appear to appre. |
cate the Democratic powers that be iu |
Ohio, and gets red in the face when it is |
Intimated that he ia with or OF them, This
Ia sad, and this development Of the real
ruth Of the situation seems TO dispsl the
idea Of tail hold on the Administration |

Ohio were to come true, 1t would make 1t |
exceedingly uncomfortable for the people |

bis tariff bill In greatly modified form,
carving out his campaign ideas ot cheap
food and cheap clothing. This double-
bRFFeled bill will be presented TO the
House on Monday. The Hewitt bill pro.
poOeB 10 simplify the mode Of executing

Cisiobs hitherto made.

lion BY the committee, aad that they had
6inco that time simply listened 10 the
Democrats. They had only attended the
committee meetings from q sense oil duty,
and disclaimed any responsibility lor the
makeup oil the bill. The tari1 feiortnets
claim that they hsve gained many friends
