In this connection have TO remark that
last night met Gov Tabor OF Colorado,
whom huye long known and he gave me
an account OF his recent discoveries at
Icadyillo. The grand question for that
camp has heretofore been whether second
contact orc did or did not lie beneath the
bottom OF the mines exhausted OF their
supplies. And now the discovery is made
In mine worked six hundred feet be-
meath the surface that these blankets or

He Informs me that he will soon have
machinery in position for taking out 200
tons of ore per day, giving him Il net
yield Of 10000 per day In the working OF

more OF his wife and gal baby than all the
mines In Chrlstendom He called 20 pay
his respects on distinguished Demo-

York "Your Democratic administration
made great mistake In higgling over re-
movals and appointments. Had been

put my political friends in authority"
The tenure Of Office Law, made to cripple
Andrew Johnson, has no significance in
my Judgment. But AS matters now stand
IN Republican states, opposition TO-
combinations may be made on
the ground that removals were not
made for proper cause, but this does
not apply TO ali the Republican states.
Senator Teller of Colorado told me re-
Gently that he should vote for confirma-
ton OF all nominations, unless it should
appear that the party nominated was un-
worthy of the position.

that Gov. Hubbard, in going out to Japan,
had the choice of being sent by govern
