The Eustis Interview.

Senator Eustis was displeased early
in the day by the course appointments
had taken in Louisiana. He has been
criticising the administration ever since.
Hearing Of this the President asked
why Senator Eustis did not come to Sc
him and talk it over. The latter accord
ingly called one evening last week, and
was cordially received at the White
House.
Senator Eustis declared to the Presi-
dent that it would be fatally unfortu-
nate if the Republicans should be able
to establish serious charges against any
considerable number of the Presidents
appointees.
The President quietly said: s'If it
be true that any of my appointments
are unworthy, l hope they will be re-
jected. 1t is the Senator's function to
do this. The Senator's arc my coadjut-
ers and advisors; they cannot be too
exacting for my taste. want no i'm
proper men in Office"
Very trnc," responded Eustis. ~If
the matter. ended with the rejection of
the bad men and the substitution Of
good ones. there would be satisfaction
all round. Nobody imagines that you
desire any other consumation, but, Mr..
Presidena, do you not see the political
aspect ns this matter and its bearing
upon tho Administration and the party I?
The lesson the Republican Senators
will seek to teach is not that Of your
acquicscence in the rejection Of bad
man. but that of your having appointed
these bad men in the first place. They
will make the point that your admins
tration has been unequal to its RESPONSE
biGties; that it is under reckless or
vicious influences, and in support Of
this will bring forward the list Of de-
| teated nominees, with the charges made
and sustained against their competency
and fitness, and then ask the country to
remember that but for the Republican

| The President nodded, but said moth
ing. ut is not question:" continued
Mr.. Eustis, "of whether you knowingly
appointed bad men, OF will approve or
disapprove of their rejection. No IN
telligent observer Of political events be-
lieves, or can be made to believe, the
slightest charges against the perfect in
tegrity Of your motives. The question
is whether the Democratic party can
afford to 60 before the people in the up-
preaching Congressional election with
the record Of having produced SO much
rejected material"
II do not see how that is to be pre-
vented now"
"The record can be forestalled. The
names of appointees as to whose fitness
there is any doubt can be withdrawn.
Every man whose presence in the gov
ernment is source of criticism and
suspicion can be eliminated"

The suspension of the Richmond lFhig rs
a Republican journal, and its final transfer
to Democratic or bourbon hands, is much
to be regretted, as it was not only the sole
Republican daily in Virginia but was
located at the capital Of the state, where It
was long vigilant guardian of the rights
and interests of the people, and fearless
watcher and assailant of the bourbon
enemy. There are still in Virginia q score
of weekly Republican newspapers, some of
them of conspicuous ability; but none Of
them are in position to fill the office from
which the Wig has retired. That Office
requires a daily paper with the facil-
tiles only possessed by daily, and with
special advantages of location. The Ma
TIoSAL REPUBLICAN, is such daily, and 1t
feels IL to be no less It's right than its duty
to endeayor to supply the vacancy left by
the Wig. Tho Republican force in Vir-
ginia is too large to be neglected, and the
movement which 1t so CALAMITY led against
bourbonIsm and its sectional solidity has
achieved too much to be abandoned. The
temporary triumph of bourbonism by q
small majority was won with difficulty, and
by means that dare not undergo honest
scrutiny. Indeed there is abundant prlma
facie evidence, as well as much positive
proof, to sustain the claim that Virginia is
decidedly Republican upon any fair show
ing, At any rate, the party which gained
over 1000 net last year upon its vote for
1884 in thirty-two Of the strongest white
counties Of the state, despite the ballot
killer bill and confederate canvass, led by a
Lee, deserves every support and encourage
ment that II may renew its victories Of 1879,
1881, and 1889.
A hasty glance at tho history Of the
present Republican party in Virginia re-
veals remarkable progress and wonder
full series Of successes. Originating In the
Rcudjuster movement, which sundercd both
the old local parties, 1t defeated the bour-
bons and flinders in 1879, again In 1881, and
for the third time In 1852. Beginning with
$1,000 votes In 1870 II voted li3,G00 strong
in 1881, 127OO0 in 1888, and $4,000 In
1884. Thus, a gain Of 10000 votes was
made In five years, Notwithstanding the
"methodsn Of the bourbons and all the
passions and preludIces of war, section
race, and color, TO which they did not fail
to make every appeal. In fact, the Repub
lican state committee have ample testi
mony that the state east its vote FOL
Blaine and Logan in 1884, and were ready
to fully establish that truth, II 1t could
have affected the general result. Nobody
need wonder at the counts and returns OF
