The Washington correspondent of the
Recie~ writes that paper under date of
Jan. 10th that President Cleveland told
Republican Senator:
Il am led To believe that the majority
of your body intend to insist that | shall
give my reasons for suspending an office
holder at the time | nominate his sue
cessOr. | must inform YOU that | shall
do nothing of the kind. Nominations
are made by and with the consent of
( the senate 1t is fitting III such cases
/ that the senate should have all the in
/ formation they desire regarding the
man whose nomination they are asked
| to confirm, but when they insist upon
| my reasons for making removals thew
are usurpinga privilege that belongs to
| the executive alone, and their request
| will i'll every case be denied. That IL
| the position propose to take, and
am ready to abide the consequences"
! President Cleveland seems to have
fallen into the very serious error that
his brain is fully proportional 10 the
colossal proportion of his body, while
the merest tyro in the study of anatomy
or the physical structure and develop
ment of man could tell him that the
brain in bullet head amply sheltered
under No. hat was entirely dispro-
portioned to a twenty inch shirt collar
neck. His Excellency seems to forget
| that the United States Senate is a co-or-
dinate branch of the United States Coy
eminent with the Presidents, and have
the same right to voice in the removal
of an officer during his term as they
have in his appointments, and If man
/ is removed by the President they have
the right to know the reason why. If
man is removed for Offensive parti-
zanship" that thin draperylunder which
Mr.. President has removed hundreds of
good men and, so far as the public
know, faithful, honest and competent
officers, the senate has the right to
know the cause; what in the Presidents
estimation constitutes offensive parti
zanship, and to satisfy themselves that
the man appointed by the President is
not as offensive partizan to them and
the public rs the man removed by the
President. Before his first year closes
there are many people will inquire.

CONGRESS-.

Monday Senator Mcmillan of Mime
sofa presented memorial from the st.
Paul Board of Trade urging appropria-
tons for the improvement of the upper
Mississippi river.
The House sent the Senate joint
resolution on Monday to the effect that
money be appropriated for the relief
of the North Cheyenne Indians, but
some of the words in the same were 40
fearfully mispelled as to leave the mean
ing of the resolution indefinite and it
was laid over for correction.
The same day joint resolution was
adopted expressive of sorrow at the
death of Representative Rankin of Wis
consin, and rendering sympathy to the
bereaved family. The Senate appoint
ed committee of three to represent
that body ut the final obsequies over
the remains of the deceased congress-
man.
\ part of Monday in the Senate was
devoted to the debate of the electoral
count bill, but no action was taken.

after little preliminary business ad.
iourned out Of respect to the memory OF
Mr.. Rankin. A committee was appoint
ed from that branch OF Congress TO nc

Vice. President Hendricks i'm the
Senate. Senator Voorhees, pro.
nounced the principal eulogium, Sena-
tors Hampton, Sherman, Salisbury
Evarts, Ransom, Spooner, Vest and
Harrison all spoke their sorrow at the
death of the departed, and their appre

Senate adjourned as final mark of re-
spect.
Tuesday in the House was devoted to
the call of States for the Introduction o

THE NEW HOTEL PROJECT

The committee appointed some weeks
ago by the Board of Trade to look into
the feasibility of providing Mankato
with a long felt necessity-a hotel COM
mensurate with the demands of the city
have held several conferences, and
while no definite plans have been de-
vised for the furtherance of the project,
the members of the committee are earn
est, and feel good deal of confidence
in the ultimate success of the matter.
The statement in Tuesdays Reriew that
"Mr. Burt is willing to sell his Mankato
House property upon reasonable terms
and take some stock, but he is unwilling
to take pay for the entire property in
that way" is decidedly premature"
And the assertion in the same paper,
that che had had no conference with
the committee contemplating SALE" is
fatty untrue.
At one of the very first meetings OF
the committee Mr.. Burt was invited to
be present and make proposition as
to what he would do. He pas present
but instead of submitting anything of a
business nature to the committee, oc.
cupied a good deal of time in telling how
hotels were built and operated in sever
al eastern cities, all the time evading
the direct business for which he was in.
vited. A few days subsequent to this
conference, however, he did tell Mr.
Patterson, member of the commit tee
that he would take $45, 900 for his hotel
property, and subscribe the prince ly
sum of 81 900 in stock! Or, he would
agree to put the properly in desirab lie
shape for bonus of$2O,OOO.
What the motive is that prompte d
such an erroneous statement in the
Rerie,o, no one but the editor thereof OF
Mr.. Burt is qualified to judge accurate.
ly, but the people have formed their
own conclusions. If Burt takes the
Hotel committee for pack of suckers
he had better drop them suddenly, for
he was never more mistaken in his life.
The gentlemen who have this matter in
charge are shrewd business men, thor
oughly public spirited, and have very
good knowledge of the value of Manka-
to property. AS the Maukato House
now stands. $4,000 would be big
price, and $4,000 would come nearer
being its worth. There are other avail
able sites in this city upon which hotel
can be built, and the public are not GO
ing to be coerced into paying Mr.. Burt
bounty for the privilege of buying mis-
property, neither are they going to
make him a present of $4,000. In the
above quotation it will be observed that
the Reusew says, Burt is unwilling to take
pay for the entire property in stock.
No one ever asked him to, at least no
member of the committee has.
1t is a belief, shared in by a large
number of our leading citizens, that it
would be better to select good site and
erect building entire, and not try to
reconstruct the Mankato House, for its
present construction is such that it could
never be made into model hotel with
out tearing the VIII ole thing down.
Let us have new no tel, and let it be
a good one.
