The Secret of Bragg's appointments

The Secret of Esragg's appointment.
Washington Special.
Speaking of Villas recalls the fact that the new
Secretary Of the Interior has jnst got out of
very unpleasant lawsuit in his native State.
Wisconsin. The suit was one brought by man
named Welch, for alleged misrepresentation of
trust funds. AS quoted in dispatch in the Chi
western man says frankly: 'Braggs appoint
ment as minister to Mexico was brought about
by Secretary Villas, and in anticipation of
the damage suit Secretary Villas is into at
Minneapolis" General Bragg knows all about
the illegal absorption of trust funds by the Sec
rotary. Bragg has not felt very well toward
Villas ever since he went out of Congress-
and Villas afraid that IL Bragg re-
manned hereabouts he might flash ND in this
damage suit and do him great injury, as he
could If he were in the mood to do so. Villas
some time ago suggested to Bragg thatft might
be good thing TO take mission. and the
to Mexico WAS suggested. Bragg was not making
very glowing success out of the practice of
law, and he took to the suggestion. President
Cleveland had promised this appointment to an
other man, and was about to make it when Sec
rotary Villas told him it must be given to Bragg;
that it was personal matter to him and of the
highest importance President Cleveland
very slow to act, but the opportunities of Secre-
tary Villas finally led him to do Ii Bragg
was only turned loose in that at Minneapo-
lis he would make the fur fly. A private letter
in Wisconsin the other day says that up about
Ashland Lake Superior. it IS openly talked
that Villas will wink at tim Der frauds by friendly
cornorafiona

Candidate MatsOn and His Schemes-The
Men who Are Doing His Work.
Washington Special in Boston Advertiser.
CORTLAND c. Matson, of Indiana. wants very
much to be Governor of his own State, and is
working his best to get the nomination of his
party, the Democratic Matson is an interest
ing man, the more so because he has the in
huence of the administration to help him, and
to Boston because he made such an interesting
slip in the Fanueil Hall ratification meeting last
fall He was showing how finely the Democrats
had rewarded soldiers He had pointed with
pride to Gen. John @. Black-and then THAT gal
liant hero of Allatoona"-(a smoker and pausel
-"Gen. John M. Corsen-ta pause and roar
AT any rate Matson is . positive, aggressive
man, and wants to be kingpin at home. There
scores and of schemes under the
shiny badness OF his glittering Uranium. Now
he is concentrating them all on this new object
The most active forces he has in his employ and
support are lot of special pension agents
officials whom the department sends out to look
up pension cases in the field. There ars over a
dozen OF these who have all gone into this serv-
ice from direct contact with Matson. They
are all young, active mon, good workers for the
department. and also for Matson. The
greater part of them have served clerks for
Matson at various times, and he has promoted
them as soon possible. He has done them
and himself good strike in the same breath.
And the way he has captured places for these
men has been very interesting. He has got
more men appointments the last session than
any three Democrats in his State combined.
TINS is the sort of plums he has taken. Thus he
has organized real personal brigade of keen
lieutenants. Well may he have euloglzed Gen.
Black in public. in Boston elsewhere, for all
the places that have. been filed
Matson will have sharp contest for the non-
nation. however. -Ex-Secretary Of State Myers,
big, jolly, cordial fellow. is fighting for it, and
the skirmishing has been vigorous enough. In
Indiana campaigns, people live on the contest.
and the preliminaries take after the contest in
