WASHINGTON, ID. c., April %
The President has greatly gratifed the
District Democrats by removing this
week, two of the largest office holders
ofthe recent Republican regime. rhes-
were John f. Cook, Collector of Tax
es, negro man, and black Repub-
llcan. The other, was District Audie
tor Tichenor, who was also stalwart
Republican, though he was white
man. In their places, Mr. Cleveland
has appointed Mr.. E. G. Davis and
Mr.. ]. I. Petty. The Collector of
Taxes gets $4,000. and the District
$4,000. 1t is simply shameful that
these places should have been held so
long by Republicans. A great pres
sure has been brought ON the Presi-
dent for the past three years to induce
him to remove them, but he has not
seen fit to do so, sooner. Recently he
was most forcibly reminded of the
wants OF the Democrats of the District
