discharged. Mr., Fairchlld said: II do not

hear anything about IL. Go to Secretary
Smith. What he does henceforth Is final
and will not be discussed" The dismissed
clerk then interviewed Smith. His inter
view was very brief. Mr.. Smith said:
"No reason for your discharge will be
given; 1t is enough for you to know that in
my opinion your services can be- dispensed
with. Too much time has been wasted
heretofore In giving reasons for
executive acts. Hereafter no reason will
be given for an appointment or for
a dismissal except that the interest OF the
service demands it," A few moments after
the abrupt termination of this interview,
one of the dismissed ladies sailed in 10 in

repeated his refusal TO her In terms quite as
curt, quoted to the gentleman who had
preceded her. She, however, did not 90

MANKATo, April 6.-Gen. Baker was in the
city to-day, and, knowing that that gentleman
is at present the subject of considerable gos-
sip. political and otherwise, your correspon-
dent approached him upon the alleged deal
between himself and q. A. Gilman OF Stearns
county. The general was very pronounced
in his denial OF the report. He said that he
had never had a conferenbe with Mr.. Gilman
in reference to the governorship or any other
political question. Mr.. Gilman never asked
his support for any office whatever, and he
never offered him any aid for the governorship
or any other position. These reported inter
views OF his with Gov. Gilman are the purest
fabricaJions. Such reports are the devices OF
men who have diseaSei political imagi-
nations and bad purposes to serve.
He Is not for Gilman for governor, nor is he
candidate for congress. The latter fact the
general uttered with such force as TO carry
conviction. -. Yesterday afternoon George
A. Clarke and NJ. L. Lackerby, who differ on
the postofice question at thi city, engaged
In u war OF words which led TO some pretty
strong language, Lhckerby claiming that
