WAsHIAGToN. Dec. 3O.-Four years
ago there was great deal OF political
ammunition wasted. Many v0lley
was fired too soon, and not a bird
brought down. Under existing public
opinion it is not advisable TO make
wholesale slaughter OF the inn0cents.
and Gen. Harrison is c0gnizant Of that
public opinion. lie will first make
changes in the Offices whose terms eX-
pire within year. Afterwards he will
consider those Of longer commissions,
and possibly make political removals.

and thirsty Republicans who smell the
offices from afar, and sniff the scents OF

phere OF the gopher country, have pre-
pared list of the presidential post

These offices named above, in which
the appointeeS are "awaiting contirma-
ton" may as we'll be considered avail
able early in the spring. The Republic
can senate will not confirm any OF those
nominations. and the offices will be va
cant and ready for the incoming of the
Republican lucky boys. You will please
understand that these are only the fat
test and best of the postotficeS; that is,
the presidential appointments. Besides
the above there are LOO offices of the
fourth class, ranging in salary from SIC
to 5000 per annum. The latter are al
ways available, and appointments can
be made 10y the first assistant pOstmaS
ter general whenever he chooses to lop
off the heads of the Democratic incum-
bentS.
