GRUDGINGLY GIVEN.

Harrfson's appointment OF Eaton to bs
surveyOr-General and What Lead 20 It
WASHINGTON, Sept. S-ISpecisl 70 the
independent The announcement yes
terday that Major George D. Eaton had
been appointed surveyor general OF Mon
tana marks the close of a curious struggle
which has been in progress ever since the
Inauguration of President Harrison. Major
Eaton was one Of the Montana delegates
% the republican national convention last
year, and made himself somewhat con-
spieuOus by the stubbOrnness with
which he held out against the
nomination of Gen. Harrison. Had the
selection Of the latter for the presidency
depended upon Major Eaton he would not
to-day carry the key 10 the white house in
his pocket Gen. Harrison was well aware
OF the attitude of Major Eaton. He has re-
wsrded many delegates to the Chicago
convention who were active in swinging
their delegations into line at the critical
moment, and would have rewarded several
others but for the offense the practice
threatened 20 give, especially in the case
OF a member OF the Missouri dslsgE-
tiOn who was an applicant for the position
OF United States district attorney. Ii was
natural, therefore, that the president
should have an invidi0us recollection OF
those who, like Major Eaton. opposed him.
The quarrel between the r. b. Harrison
AcCutcheon and Sanders Hershfeld wings
Of the republican party over the selection
of a msn for governor resulted in a draw,
and while the son element won in the
choice OF Walker for secretary, Eaton was
put forward by the anti-son faction IS their
man for surveyor-generaL The pill was a
bitter one for the president to swallow, and
be has been viewing it askance now for
nearly six months. Gen. Greene's term is
about 10 expire, and action has been forced
upon the president. At the interior de-
partment Russell b. Harrison has been
very pronounced il his opposition 10 Eaton,
who, he declared, was entitled 20 no con-
sideTatiOn. IL is very doubtful il the ap-
pOintment of MAJOR Eaton would have
been made but for recent Imperative de-
maDds from party managers in Montana,
who reported that the defeat of Ma
j0r Eaton before the state convention
fortnight ago threatened breach
In the party which only q good
federal appointment could prevent. Major
Eaton and his friends, II was said in these
appeals, were aware Of the opposition in
Washington to his selection for the Office
OF surveyOr-general, and attributed bis de-
feat before the convention to the iutrigues
OF the administration faction. The only
way 10 placate these friends was 70 make
the appointment of surveyor. general at
once. And so, much against his will and
with every expectation of mourning the
displeaSure of Russell B., the president
yesterday followed the advice of his Mon
tsna managers, and IL he will accept the
reluctant offer Major Eaton will succeed to
the Office of shveyor-generaI OF the terri
tory in week or two, OF as soon as be re-
refvas his commission

Washington special: Col. Dudley may
not be very warmly welcomed at the white
house, but there is not a door of any de

widely for him whenever he chooses 10

Gen. Gordon's Address at n Meeting of
Confederate Veterans.
ATLANTA, Ga, sept Sin the course
OF a speech to-day, in accepting the CON-
mand of the United Confederate Veteran
association, Governor John b. Gordon,
after reviewing the objects of the associ-
alton as set forth in the constitution, said
"a people without memories OF heroic
deeds, heroic sufferings and sacrifices, is a
people without a history. To cherish
such memories and recall such
past, whether crowned with success
or consecrated in defeat, is to
idealize principle and strength of charac-
ter intensity love of country and convert
defeat and disaster into pillars of support
for future manhood and noble womanhOod.
Whether the southern people under their
changed condition may ever hope to wit
ness another civilization which shall equal
that which began with their Wash
ingtOn and ended with their Lee, IL is GER
tainly true that devstio. to their glorious
past Is not only the surest guarantee for
their unity, but is also he strongest claim
they can present 20 the Confidence aud re-
spect of other sections of the union"

somewhat remarkable publication to ap-
pear in journal with which the presi-
dents son was generally supposed to be
connected, either financially or otherwise.
Mr.. Arkell, one of the owners of the paper,

Russell HARRISON had no Interest whatever
in the paper, and no connection with IL ia
any capacity. Yesterday there WAS re-

price of dressed beef. They agreed on
certain prices IN certain states. There
were certain states excluded; that Is, in
these states they could pay any price they
chose. Mr. ROwland's idea of a solution OF
