The Nasbys Demand 1t.
! WASHINGTON, October 5th-The impress
| sion is general that the Administration
will make many more removals from office
| and adopt a much more partisan policy
during the coming year than heretofore.
The Interior Department is run on a strictly
bipartisan plan by Secretary Lamar, ex-
cept in the Pension Bureau, and there is
| likely to be complaints of that Department
by the Ieiormers. Removals bid fair to
| fall thick and fast in the Treasury Depart
I ment. Already seventy-nine of eighty-fve
Collectors of Internal Revenue, holding
over from the previous Administration, have
been suspended, and probably every single
| one will have to go. The discharges in the
Navy Department, except in the office de
partment, also promise to be quite numer
| Gus next season.
