WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-The result of
the nomination Of Hon. M. Fl. Day, by the
Democratic congressional convention. is al
ready apparent here. Cases are being pre-
pared for action in the interior and post
Office departments. There have been no
recommendations yet received from MIR.
Day in any Of these cases. but they are ex-
pected. The territorial appointment clerk
for the postoffice department says:
Mr.. Day became disguised with the oppo-
sitiOn of the Democratic factions, and he left
Washington last spring without making any
Endorsements for appointments to vacancies
then existing. He has declined to have any
thing to do with any of the pending cases
since then. They are hanging fire. and will
be until he gets ready to dispose Of them.
In reply to an inquiry as to the meaning
Of all this, Mr.. Haynie said:
You know that Mr.. Day has always been
our referee. The department has recognized
no one else. He has always been prompt and
careful, and sagacious, in making recon-
menaations. He stopped because he re-
garded it as thankless job, and one which
brought to him only the quarrels and bicker-
ings of jealous men. Now that his party has
chosen him as its standard-bearer, he will be
and it will be necessary for him to again
assume the task Of selecting good men to ALI
vacancies Is not that an arbitrary power to
be conferred upon one man?
mot necessarily so. Dakota has no Demo-
cratic representative in congress-, and we
must have Democratic referee. We cannot
decide which one Of q dozen applicants for an
Office is the right man to appoint. The rep
resentative man for a territory or congress
sional district practically decides for us by
making a suitable recommendation"
'But how does your referee know whom to
recommend? Is he not an autocrat?"
mot if he be honest, and he usually Is. He
refers to the known representative men in
the counties and townships. He knows those
men and they know him. They make the
first recommendation, and our referee in
dorses the men who are thus practically Sc
lected by the people in their own little village
Or hamlet"
"StilL it seems strange that all these mat
ters are referred to one man."
''But if you were to be on the inside, and
see how it facilitates the work, and assists the
clerks in keeping pace with the hundreds of
thousands Of papers which accumulate on
their desks, you would know that the entire
matter is pro bono publico, and not for the
benefit Of any one autOcratic man. There
can be no autocracy in this country"

The publication in the GLOBE of Mr.. Hills
position and the provision of his bill requir
ing an affirmative vote, both North and South,
on the division question, appears to have
struck many as a revelation. They don't
seem to have been aware that the Ohio gen.
tleman held any such ground. Some wht
spread palms in his path on his recent visit,
would not now even offer to ''set up the
drinks" for him. But Democrats generally
understood his position, and for that reason
Endorsed his bill. No intelligent person
honestly believes the North will ever vote fol
division. 1t is asserted that not single cons
vention of either party in that section hal
declared for division, and very few Of eitheI
party will favor it. The fact that Gen. Allen
was understood to be aivisienist was the
chief reason that he had so little active sup
port in the North.

heralded all over the United States as dec
laration in favor Of division. Republicans
who are opposed to division cannot vote for
him. A man who cannot go outside OF his

fool. Two courses are open to aHti-divi-

A SHRUBBERY FRAUD.

About two months ago a smooth
tongued chap paid Madison visit, and
in the course of few weeks sold to
parties in the city and surrounding
country shrubbery to the amount Of
$1,000 or $4,000. He represented that
it was grown in big nursery near Sparta.
and was therefore excellently adapted
to this climate. The samples which he
showed were Of fine quality, and sales
were made with rapidity which
must have been exceedingly gratifying
to him. In many instances he was
paid IN advance, and case is reported
where he even forgot to return the proper
change to customer who had given
him in excess of his claim. In due
season the shrubbery arrived, and a
vast amount of it was distributed from
this city. Almost every other farmers
wagon which left the city on the day of
its arrival conveyed bundle of it in the
country. Some oft the Madison purchas-
ers of amounts costing $50 or more be-
came suspicious that the shrubbery was
not raised at Sparta, and investigation
proved that it came to Madison direct
from Cincinnati, where it was grown.
Much of it was dead and much more
dying, and those purchasers who had
been aware of the fraud refused to &C.
cept their purchase or pay for it. The
nurseryman threatened all sorts of dire
things, but counter suits for fraud were
suggested to him and he left the city
with numerous claims of worthless
nature in his pocket.-Madison State
Journal.
