1t is fortunate for the country that Mai.
Merrill, of Massachusetts, did not ACCEPT
the pension commissionership. Maj Mer
rill would not have beel much of an i'm
provement upon Corporal Tanner. He is
too loquacious, and while he would not
have been as prodigal in dealing out the
peoples money as Corporal Tanner was, be
would have paid more favorable attention
to the demands pension claimants,
whether the de hands ere proper or not,
than to the rights of the PEG DE
Thee is one thing about this pension
affair which will impress itself upon the
people, and that is that the President is We Y
anxious to make an appointment which
will be satisfac DRY to the G. A. R..
He appointed Corporal Tanner because he
thought that by doing 50 he would
strengthen the administration and the Re-
publican party among grand army men,
and he still as an eye TO the grand army
vots. Gen. Warner, MAJ Msr i'll and G N.
Lucius Fairchild, who have been seriously
considered for the appointment, are all
former commanders IN chief of the grand
army. 1t is entirely proper tn the Presi-
dent should give some consideration to the
wishes of the grand army in the matter,
but his chief desire should be to appoint one
who would rescue the veterans from the
undignIfied position o mendicants, and
who would not bring the treasury to the
verge Of bankruptcy.
At this time it seems probable that Gen.
Warner will be appointed, and it is inti-
mated that if he should be- 1t would be
with tho private understanding that he was
to hold the office only until after the fall
elections. Con. Warner receives a fine
salary as attorney for railroad, and if he
should accept the pension commissicnership
it would be Only on account of his friend
ship for the President and Secretary Noble.

SAYS she Philadelphia Enquire: Speaking
of Daniel Dougherty, the well-known orator. a
democrat from the interior of Pennsylvania
says he regrets that Dougherty was choS n to
make the speech nominating Cleveland at [. g
ST. Louis convention. This democrat compli.
mented Mr.. Dougherty very highly for his
oratorical effort and says he does not believe it
could have been improv on. But he is be-
lever in luck-particularly in Cleveland luck
and { inks that if Daa Lockwood, who had
always before made the nominating speeches
for Cleveland, had performed the same office
for him in the last national convention he
would have been reelected" All of which
shows how absurdly superstitious some men
are.

10 resign has induced some Of his New
Mexico opponents to adopt measures for
Ousting him from office. His term will
not expire until April 20, 1890 but there
is no disposition on the part OF the New
Mexico Republicans TO allow to remain
in office until that time, and charges @ill
he preferred against him with view
to securing immediate action The
arraignment is now in prepara-
ton, and the Governor will be
charged with various shortcomings,
political and otherwise II is under
stood that the charges would have been
filed some time ago but for the fact that
it was believed he would resign. Now
that he indicates his intention of re-
naming until the end of his term The
charges will be filed, and il is believed
they are of sufficient weight to warrant
his immediate removal Charges will
also be preferred against Judge Bunker,
